Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 782 One of My Friends

Jiang Xue ran over with a pure and innocent face, looking completely carefree and happy.

Then I saw Yege and Hongkou standing together under the Demon Realm Tree.

However, Hongkou had her back to Yege, her head down, her hands clasped together in front of her abdomen, her eyes looking somewhat shy and flustered, and her cheeks flushed.

Upon hearing Jiang Xue's voice, Hong Kou immediately released her father...

Although logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with being seen, for some reason... she just felt a little embarrassed...

This is probably similar to how, if it were a little girl, even if she clung to her father every day, acting cute and wanting hugs and kisses, no one would say anything.

But if it's a 20 or 30-year-old adult... it might be okay in private, but if it's in front of others, they would definitely feel very ashamed.

Especially considering Hongkou's status in the Demon Realm, where she has always been portrayed as a mature and reliable head housekeeper, it would be quite surprising for someone like her to act coquettishly towards her father.

"Well?"

Jiangxue tilted her head: "Big sister, what's wrong? Why is your face as red as a ripe apple?"

"I...I'm fine..." Hongkou said, trying to sound calm. "Yeah, you're fine."

......

The Night's Watch headquarters.

Nangong Qiuyue sat at her desk, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes glazed over.

I wonder how that guy is doing now...

Although he appeared to have emerged from the mist barrier unharmed yesterday...

But perhaps he actually suffered some unseen injuries?

That guy loves to act cool. Even if he's injured, he'll definitely pretend nothing's wrong and won't say a word...

Nangong Qiuyue rested her chin on the table, somewhat annoyed.

Looking back now, I wonder why I suddenly lost my temper with him that night!

'Nangong Qiuyue, you idiot! At least she rushed onto the field that day to block a skill for you and save you! If it weren't for her, you might still be lying in a hospital bed, or even crippled or dead!'

"And they even spent an entire night personally treating your illness. It's one thing to be ungrateful, but why are you yelling at them?"

A look of bewilderment flashed across Nangong Qiuyue's eyes.

yes......

Why did I yell at him back then?

Even if I saw him and Leng Yuening being all lovey-dovey, that's his business, what does it have to do with me?

Even if someone's going to be angry, it should be Da Sha Yao who's angry!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who who who who who who who's doing me...!!!"

What on earth am I thinking?!

Nangong Qiuyue felt her head was in a mess, and her mood was also in a mess. She raised her hands and rubbed her head vigorously, making her neatly tied bun fall apart.

"Squeak..."

Just then, a young female night watchwoman walked in and saw Nangong Qiuyue's frantic state. She asked in a daze, "Captain... Captain?... What's wrong?"

Nangong Qiuyue: (*゜ロ゜)ノ......

"You... why didn't you knock before coming in?!" Nangong Qiuyue's face flushed red. "Get out!"

Young female night watchwoman: "Ah... I... I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran outside.

"stop!"

Nangong Qiuyue calmed down and pinched her brow: "Never mind... come back."

The young female night watchwoman then timidly returned: "I'm sorry, Captain... I just saw that your office door was only ajar, so I..."

"Alright, alright, alright." Nangong Qiuyue waved her hand. "Is there something you need?"

Young female night watchwoman: "Um... this document needs your signature."

A document was placed on the table.

Nangong Qiuyue picked up the pen and quickly signed her name on the document.

"All right."

"Thank you, Captain..."

The young female night watchwoman cautiously inquired, "Captain, are you having some troubles lately?"

"What troubles could I possibly have?" Nangong Qiuyue said. "Go down."

“Oh, yes…” said the young female watchwoman.

“…Wait a minute, come back.” Nangong Qiuyue called her back again, hesitating for a long time, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Captain, is there anything I can help you with?" the young female Night's Watchman asked curiously.

Nangong Qiuyue is usually very loyal to the Night Watch.

He was very good to both his subordinates and the people in the department.

Therefore, the younger girls in the team all regard her as a role model.

And most of the young boys had a crush on her.

After all, Nangong Qiuyue usually acts like a cool and sassy older sister in the Night Watch, not the clumsy and naive girl she is in front of Ye Ge...

Nangong Qiuyue: "Um, I have a question for you."

The young female night watchwoman nodded: "Yes, Captain, please tell me. I'll help as long as I know the answer."

"It's nothing serious." Nangong Qiuyue organized her thoughts a little: "It's just that, if a boy helped... a friend of mine, and did a lot of help, but my friend then acted spoiled and scolded him, and my friend wants to apologize to the boy, what kind of gift should she give him?"

The young female night watchwoman stared blankly for a moment, blinked twice, and then said, "Captain, did you have a falling out with Lord Night Song?"

Nangong Qiuyue: "???"

"I already said! It wasn't me! It was a friend of mine! And it has nothing to do with Ye Ge!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." The young female night watchwoman scratched her head, chuckled, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Captain, there's been a lot of talk in the team these past few days about whether you and Lord Nightsong are dating, so I just jumped to that conclusion..."

"..." Nangong Qiuyue's pupils dilated in shock, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "This is utter nonsense. How could there be such a strange rumor?"

"Because that day, Lord Nightsong rushed into the arena without hesitation and saved you." The young female Night Watcher clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking on with longing. "He was so cool! And the way Lord Nightsong looked at you when he carried you off the field was so tender. All the girls in the team were extremely envious, and they were all shipping you and Lord Nightsong... But the boys in the team who had a crush on you were a little heartbroken."

Nangong Qiuyue was slightly taken aback. She didn't recall that at all. After all, she was seriously injured and her consciousness was unclear. She only knew that Ye Ge came in and saved her. She didn't have the mind to pay attention to any kind of gaze.
