The woman had an exceptionally perfect face, with well-defined features and not a single flaw. Each individual feature was perfect, and together they made her look stunningly beautiful. Just standing there, she exuded a classical beauty, with a delicate, feminine touch.
She seemed to be in her early twenties, with skin as fair as snow and a well-proportioned figure. Her black dress added to her charm.
She walked gracefully towards Chu Yang, her beautiful eyes examining him as she said, "My father told me about your past, so I know quite a lot about you."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Chu Yang's empty sleeve. Her eyes, bright as the stars, showed a hint of sadness.
Next, her eyes shifted to the chains binding Chu Yang's limbs. She said, "I think you should give the Heavenly Book Scroll to my father. He's a good person. If you hand over the scroll, he won't target you anymore. You might even be able to join our demonic sect!"
"Although our demonic sect is viewed as evil and attacked by everyone, we are much more straightforward than those so-called righteous sects. We keep our promises!"
Chu Yang just quietly watched the girl in front of him without saying anything. No one knew what he was thinking.
This made Liu Xiaoxiao anxious. She thought Chu Yang misunderstood her, so she quickly explained, "I'm not here to persuade you on my father's orders. Don't get me wrong!"
"My name is Liu Xiaoxiao, daughter of the Demon Emperor Liu Changsheng, but I'm not his spokesperson. I sneaked out on my own."
"I asked my father to release you, but he refused and stopped me from coming to see you. So I snuck out to meet you."
"Actually… I think I like you."
At this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao looked utterly adorable, nothing like the rebellious and fearless Demon Emperor she would become. Perhaps she only showed this side of herself in front of Chu Yang.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yang's mouth twitched slightly. He was puzzled and surprised.
Like him? They had just met, right?
As the saying goes, love at first sight is often just a matter of physical attraction. But Chu Yang thought about it and realized his looks were just average. Liu Xiaoxiao had no reason to be attracted to him based on appearance alone. Could it be that his personal charm had unconsciously increased?
Not only Chu Yang but also the cultivators watching outside the Heavenly Emperor Mirror were surprised.
Especially Murong Xue, the Emperor's primary consort. Her eyes showed even more astonishment.
She remembered that during her five years of living and working alongside this man, she never dared to say these words to him.
Yet Liu Xiaoxiao confessed her feelings the first time they met, which was truly astonishing.
Chu Yang calmed himself and looked at the girl before him.
He was surprised to find that Liu Xiaoxiao's face showed no shyness or embarrassment when she confessed.
Most women would be somewhat shy when expressing their feelings to a man.
But not Liu Xiaoxiao. To her, it seemed perfectly natural.
Although puzzled, Chu Yang did not respond to her, merely looking at her calmly.
Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to have anticipated this reaction and remained undeterred. She cheerfully said, "You must have not eaten meat in a long time. I secretly brought some for you. Please eat!"
She took out a large piece of juicy meat from her pouch.
Chu Yang's eyes widened.
A fist-sized pouch contained such a big piece of meat.
Girl, are you Doraemon?
Liu Xiaoxiao carefully placed the meat near Chu Yang's mouth.
"Go ahead, eat."
However, Chu Yang remained indifferent, his expression unchanged.
Liu Xiaoxiao swiftly took out a few plump pills from her pouch and said, "These pills are top-notch elixirs I stole from the Pill Hall. They can heal your injuries and greatly replenish your lost vitality."
"By taking these, you can regain some strength and not be as weak as a mortal."
Chu Yang glanced at the pills briefly before looking away, closing his eyes to rest.
"Hmph!"
Liu Xiaoxiao snorted heavily, her pretty face showing a trace of anger.
Clearly, being ignored by Chu Yang repeatedly had made her upset.
She continued, "I mean you no harm, so why are you acting like this? I brought these things secretly for your sake."
Standing with her hands on her hips, Liu Xiaoxiao looked like a little demoness.
If she had seemed angelic with her smiling face before, she now looked like a devil.
She looked up at the man's indifferent face and grew even more frustrated. "These pills are so precious that I wouldn't use them myself. Do you know how much effort I put into getting them for you?"
"Don't you know that what you're doing is really ungrateful?"
But no matter how much she tried to persuade him, she was met with the same cold expression, as if his face could show no other emotions.
Furious, Liu Xiaoxiao scolded, "Hmph, starve to death, you jerk!"
"I won't come to see you again!"
With that, she turned and stormed off in a huff.
Seeing the noisy woman finally leave, Chu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that by behaving this way, she would surely give up and stop bothering him, allowing him some peace and quiet.
But while the idea was nice, reality was harsh.
Early the next morning.
Liu Xiaoxiao appeared at the cave entrance bright and early, her face filled with a goofy smile.
It was as if the previous day's words had never come from her mouth; she had already forgotten them.
She walked over and sat on a rock in front of Chu Yang, then said with a cheerful grin, "Hehe, I know why you ignored me yesterday. It must be because the meat leg wasn't spicy enough, and it didn't taste good."
"Look, this time I added some spice. Go ahead and eat!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pulled out another large piece of meat from her pouch, this one covered in chili peppers, and held it out to Chu Yang.
