MEIWITA Chapter 885: Husband and Wife Work Together to Cut Off One’s Finance

---

The Stream Reflection Restaurant in the Devil Capital was very prosperous, and there were many people who loved to drink among the devils. Only devils with background and status could book private rooms.

Naturally, Lou Mu Yan and her party’s devil identities right now definitely meant they couldn’t book a private room, so they chose a seat by the window to sit down.

On the second floor, they ordered some dishes and two pots of grade 5 spiritual wine, and listened to the discussions of the surrounding devils while drinking.

Soon, the halls of the first and second floor, and the private rooms of the third and fourth floor were all filled with devils.

The ethos in the devil race was civilised and free, so oftentimes, they spoke without many scruples.

“Have you heard that the Third Holy Maiden severely injured the First Holy Maiden.”

Some devils started gossiping after drinking a little wine.

“Wasn’t the relationship between the Third Holy Maiden and the First Holy Maiden very good before? Why did they fight?”

“I heard it was because of jealousy over a man.”

“For a man? Doesn’t the First Holy Maiden love that First Prince of the Ming Palace Royal Clan the most?”

“I heard the man looked very similar to the First Prince, and the Third Holy Maiden also fell in love with him at the same time. In order to snatch the man, they fought fiercely. In the end, the First Holy Maiden was seriously injured and gave up in defeat. The man was taken by the Third Holy Maiden.”

“That man’s truly pitiful.”

To be snatched by those two cruel and vicious women definitely meant he had nothing good to look forward to, definitely tortured both physically and mentally.

Near the window, another table.

“The Third Holy Maiden has been in the limelight in the Devil Palace for more than ten years, no one can match her!” A young devil said.

“Because she got close to the Devil Lord.” A woman said sourly.

A man in black beside her immediately cast a cold glare at her, “Misfortune comes from the mouth, now that the Third Holy Maiden’s in the limelight, even the Elders of our Nero Clan have to back down a bit, it’ll be as easy as killing an ant if she wants to kill you.”

The woman turned pale, lowered her head, and said: “Eldest Brother, I’m wrong.”

“Those are just gossips. The Devil Lord’s actually cultivating in seclusion for more than ten years without asking about the affairs of the Devil Palace. The Third Holy Maiden took advantage of the Devil Lord’s absence to monopolise the power. There should be no such relationship between him and the Third Holy Maiden.” Another older man spoke.

“Since the Devil Lord went into seclusion, all the affairs of the royal family have been handed over to the Third Holy Maiden’s faction, it’s a bit strange!” One person said in a whisper.

“Exactly! In the past, the Third Holy Maiden’s party wasn’t favoured by the Devil Lord, why is it the opposite this time?”

“Most importantly is that in the past decade or so since the Devil Lord went into seclusion, the Third Holy Maiden’s faction has continued to expand their power and they’ve vaguely become more popular than the royal family. If this continues, it might be difficult for the Devil Lord to suppress it once he exits from seclusion in the future.”

“The First Holy Maiden and Holy Son Shen Mu Feng have also been severely suppressed by the Third Holy Maiden recently using various excuses.”

“Right, I heard that Holy Son Shen Mu Feng has gone to the cave in the Yin Beast Mountain in the outskirts for seclusion and directly backed down. The First Holy Maiden refuses to accept it and wants to fight back, but who knew that the Third Holy Maiden would severely injure her under the guise of snatching a man. Right now she’s no longer so powerful either.”

“Although Holy Son Shen Mu Feng’s power has been suppressed, but it hasn’t been fundamentally affected, but the First Holy Maiden has truly lost more than gained this time.”

“The First Holy Maiden was tyrannical in the Devil Capital, snatching any man who looked similar to the First Prince of the Ming Palace Royal Clan. Her minions have all been ended by the Third Holy Maiden, which is a contribution to the men of our devil race.” A young man said with a laugh.

Previously, the First Holy Maiden would snatch boy toys everywhere, and she didn’t distinguish between ordinary citizens or people of distinguished clans. They could only be sent out of the Devil Capital to take refuge temporarily—finally this anger has been released.

“Aye! Our Nero Clan was originally a family trusted by the Devil Lord. In recent years we’ve been severely suppressed by the Third Holy Maiden. We’ve begun to be marginalised in major power decisions, who knows how much longer the Devil Lord will remain in seclusion.” The older man sighed.

The man in black furrowed his brows, “These things are what the Elders of the Clan should worry about. Although our devil race is relatively free and open in speech, but the Third Holy Maiden’s faction is currently in control of the entire Devil Capital, so we should discuss such things less, lest we plant a disaster.”

That woman, the Third Holy Maiden, appeared gentle and tender, generous and good at winning people’s hearts, but in fact she was narrow-minded and acted viciously and insidiously. The Nero Clan had always been her target of suppression. The more they said, the more mistakes, so it was better to be careful.

“Aye! Forget it, I’ll feel more upset the more I talk.” The older man also considered the man in black’s scruples, raised his glass, and said: “Come, come, drink.”

A lot of things about the Third Holy Maiden’s party were also discussed among the devils at the other drinking tables.

Lou Mu Yan and the others had heard what they needed, so they got up and returned to the inn.

“We heard a lot of information today, and I think the most useful one is from the pupils of the Nero Clan.” After sitting down, Lou Mu Yan took out a jug of newly brewed spiritual wine and poured a cup for everyone.

Na’lan Ge took a sip and narrowed his eyes as if enjoying himself, “This is what’s called spiritual wine, the wine in the Stream Reflection Restaurant’s just awful.”

Su Jin smiled faintly: “The spiritual wine brewed by the Su Clan’s too focused on extravagance. It’s all based on improving cultivation base, but it ignores the taste that spiritual wine should have.”

“Exactly, the taste of that grade 5 spiritual wine’s just awful. The taste of the devils and demons sure are strong, they could not only drink such wine, but also made Stream Reflection Restaurant so popular.” Na’lan Ge pursed his lips in disdain.

“Do you think everyone’s as picky as you? Drinking some is already fortunate enough, the demons and devils don’t have any advanced-level spiritual wine masters themselves to begin with, and they love spiritual wine, so naturally they would hold Stream Reflection Restaurant in high regards.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him.

Immediately, her eyes became more radiant. She looked at Su Jin and said with a smile: “Senior Brother, why don’t you and senior sister-in-law also go set up a restaurant and snatch Stream Reflection Restaurant’s business in the Demon Realm and Devil Realm. Their spiritual wine’s so bad, it’s simply tarnishing the profession of a spiritual wine master.”

Su Jin knew that she still held grudges against the Su Clan and chuckled faintly: “We can try it after we return to the Human Realm after finishing what needs to be done in the Demon Realm and Devil Realm.”

He also disliked the Su Clan very much and he didn’t mind stepping on them after slapping their face, otherwise with the vengeful temperament of the Su Clan, they might return for revenge after the slap.

Lan Ruo Shui revealed a rare blush and glared at Lou Mu Yan, “I’m not even a spiritual wine master.”

Most importantly was that she and Su Jin hadn’t even married yet, and she couldn’t resist blushing at being called ‘senior sister-in-law’.

“You’re an advanced-level alchemist, you refine the wine pills, my Senior Brother brews wine, husband and wife work together to cut off one’s finance.” Lou Mu Yan blinked at the two of them.

Su Jin chuckled, but didn’t argue, and his gaze that looked at Lan Ruo Shui was as gentle as water.

The blush on Lan Ruo Shui’s face grew deeper, softening her originally icy temperament a lot. She raised her head and glared at Lou Mu Yan again, “Now let’s just talk business first.”

She was also aware of the grievances between Su Jin and the Su Clan, and she very much agreed with Lou Mu Yan and Su Jin’s actions, also felt a little more heart ache for Su Jin.

“Alright, let’s talk business first.” Seeing that Lan Ruo Shui was truly flustered with embarrassment, Lou Mu Yan stopped teasing her.
