She had long, pink hair that drifted like peach blossoms. Her face could only be described as peerlessly beautiful, tender and fair, as flawless as a baby’s.
She had a pair of peach blossom eyes. Whomever she looked at, they seemed dewy and incredibly captivating, making one feel as if they would fall into them.
Right now, Di Xuan was looking at Bai Sha with those very peach blossom eyes.
“Great White Shark, hehe, Great White Shark, this consort is coming.”
Di Xuan arrived beside the fishbowl, her slender jade-like fingers resting upon its edge. She leaned her face in close to look at Bai Sha, wearing a morbid smile.
Seeing Di Xuan’s appearance, Bai Sha finally understood what was peculiar about the other’s voice.
It was a morbid sensation.
Although Di Xuan possessed a peerlessly beautiful countenance, her temperament was very eerie, carrying an intense sense of morbidity. This morbidity radiated from within her, naturally infusing her voice with that feeling as well.
“Little Shark, why aren’t you talking?” Di Xuan poked the fishbowl and asked.
“What should I say?” Bai Sha asked in return.
“Hmm? Then tell this consort your name first.” Di Xuan said with keen interest.
Bai Sha paused for a moment. “My name is Bai Sha.”
“That’s all?” Di Xuan asked.
“That’s all. I only have one name,” Bai Sha answered.
Upon hearing this, Di Xuan puffed out her cheeks. “That makes you seem uninteresting. Can’t you say a little more about other things? For example, what the world of Demon Cultivators is like and so on? This consort is very, very curious about such things.”
Bai Sha looked at Di Xuan strangely.
She always felt she couldn’t quite understand Di Xuan.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Sha casually mentioned some things about the Eastern Sea, some simple little matters, tales of daily life among Demon Cultivators.
Di Xuan, however, listened with great interest, her peach blossom eyes shimmering and sparkling.
After listening for a while, Di Xuan reached out and scooped Bai Sha out of the fishbowl.
“What are you doing?” Bai Sha quickly asked.
Having been shrunk, she was now entirely held in Di Xuan’s palm, a tiny little thing.
“This consort is feeling a bit sleepy and wants to take a nap first. You come and sleep with this consort.” Di Xuan said, even letting out a yawn.
Sleep together?
Bai Sha looked at Di Xuan oddly but didn’t refuse. Of course, she didn’t have the ability to refuse anyway.
Just like that, Di Xuan carried Bai Sha over to the pink bed canopy and lightly hopped onto the bed.
The bed curtain cascaded down like an umbrella, pink and hazy, making everything on the bed faintly visible.
Di Xuan didn’t even undress; she simply lay down holding Bai Sha.
Yet, as soon as she lay down, she began breathing evenly. Her speed in falling asleep could not be said to be slow.
Bai Sha knew she was being treated as a body pillow.
But she didn’t mind this; instead, she pondered another matter.
Di Xuan had fallen asleep. Was it possible for her to use the Chaotic Star Hand to restore her cultivation and then launch a sneak attack to deal with Di Xuan?
Was such a thing achievable?
Bai Sha imagined it. If she were asleep and a Demon Cultivator at the Early Qi Condensation stage came to ambush her, could it succeed?
The answer was no.
Even if the opponent was right beside her from the start, the moment they made a move, her instincts would cause her to wake up immediately. Moreover, an attack from an Early Qi Condensation stage Demon Cultivator, even if it landed on her body, wouldn’t cause significant damage.
Thinking of this, Bai Sha couldn’t help but sigh.
The gap between herself and Di Xuan was even greater than the gap between herself and an Early Qi Condensation stage Demon Cultivator; it was fundamentally impossible to successfully ambush Di Xuan.
This time, Di Xuan slept for a full ten hours.
By the time Di Xuan woke up, the sky outside had already darkened.
“Mmm… Is it morning? No… Is it evening? This consort slept so long?”
Di Xuan propped herself up, rubbing her eyes, a gesture that even seemed a little cute.
Then, she looked at the Bai Sha beside her and grabbed her in a hug.
“Little Bai Sha, Little Bai Sha, hehe.”
She held Bai Sha and nuzzled her against her own face.
Bai Sha’s expression was blank.
She had truly become a pet.
But then again, based on the rumors about the Devil Empress Di Xuan she had heard in the past, the Devil Empress Di Xuan should be a cruel and fierce person. Why wasn’t she showing that side right now?
Were the rumors inaccurate? Or would she simply not get to see the Devil Maiden’s true face in the short term?
After nuzzling Bai Sha for a bit, Di Xuan smilingly carried her off the bed and then pressed a button on the bedside table.
Not long after, the room door opened.
