Shen Yanxiao stared at Tian Jue, who looked gentle and handsome, but was in fact extremely insane. As far as looks were concerned, who could imagine that a bloodthirsty maniac was hiding under such a handsome and gentle skin?

If this fellow arrived at the Radiance Continent, how many creatures would he end up harming?

The next conversation between the twelve devil generals revolved around the arrangements for the army. Shen Yanxiao listened carefully and recorded everything in her mind one by one. This group of devils was practically “offering” Shen Yanxiao every piece of information. There was no need for Shen Yanxiao to make any effort. This group of guys gathered together and spat out everything, both things that should and should not be said.

After half a day, the twelve devil generals ended the meeting. Gui Jiang arranged a room for them to rest, which was basically always a must at the end of every meeting.

Shen Yanxiao also immediately returned to Qing Jun's palace, but when she returned, Qing Jun was sitting in the hall with a disgruntled look on his face.

Shen Yanxiao was slightly stunned. At this time, Qing Jun should still be in the laboratory and battling with the reincarnation technique. Why did he come out so early today? Qing Jun must have found out that she hadn't been at home all this time. Looking at that face, black as the bottom of a pot, Shen Yanxiao knew there was something wrong.

"Lord Qing Jun." Shen Yanxiao shrank her neck in a timid gesture.

"Where have you been?" Qing Jun asked coldly.

Shen Yanxiao was silent for a moment before she replied, "They said that the twelve devil generals would be in the city today. I... I went outside and took a look." The devil generals had a very noble position in the devils’ minds; there would not be too many loopholes in the excuse she made.

What was wrong with an ignorant young devil girl who wanted to look at her idol?

But Qing Jun's expression became even more ugly, "What's there to see?! Don't forget that you are my maid, your task is to be at my disposal; without my command, you can't just leave here, do you understand?" Qing Jun's words sounded very discontented. Although he accepted Shen Yanxiao's explanation, he was very displeased with her choice to go "AWOL"[1].

This was the first time that Qing Jun was angry with Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao keenly sensed something fishy from Qing Jun's words. Qing Jun's anger was not because of her going "AWOL", but because she ran out for the sake of the twelve devil generals.

When one thought of it, Qing Jun usually treated Shen Yanxiao, a mere maid, as someone non-essential. Even if Shen Yanxiao occasionally took a rest in the room and didn’t appear very often, Qing Jun had no problem with it. However, this time, Qing Jun was very angry, which was rather unusual.

Obviously, Qing Jun did not like the twelve devil generals.

But it was no wonder, either. That devil general named Yan Di was bent on killing Qing Jun to establish his power. If Qing Jun actually liked the devil generals, wouldn't he be a masochist?

"Yes, I understand. I will never do it again." Shen Yanxiao lowered her head and her big eyes twirled about.

Qing Jun's identity in the underworld was somewhat complicated. From the conversations of the devil generals, Shen Yanxiao knew that the reincarnation technique that Qing Jun was studying was exactly what Satan needed, so he had let such a human being as Qing Jun stay here. But in the end, Qing Jun would always be a human being, it was impossible for other devils to really see him as a companion.

Although Gui Jiang had repeatedly stated that Qing Jun's disposal should be handed over to Satan, his motive was not to protect Qing Jun.
