Chapter 310: People think I’m handsome.

“Clatter, clatter…”

As the last carriage slowly drove away with the rumbling of wheels, the Beizut Family’s title conferment banquet came to an end this evening.

The fountain had already stopped spraying water.

One after another, the dishes and the white tables were removed under the arrangement of the maids and the movement of the servants.

And Sera entered the main pavilion of the Beizut Family, being invited into the luxurious reception room.

Attendees included Shane, Ai Yi, and Jiasinta among others.

Vivian and the others should have been present as well, but they seemed to think, given their status as lodgers, that they should not upstage the host and disturb Shane and Sera’s meeting, so all of them had already returned to their own rooms.

Of course, not wanting to upstage the host was one reason, but a more important reason was probably that being in the same room with the two Demon Lords was just too pressure-filled for them.

Especially Lu Muya and Merica, who were already panicked upon Sera’s arrival and residence, and when they found out Ai Yi was also one of the Six Great Demons, the Dragon Demon, they nearly fainted.

“I’ve actually been living under the same roof as the Dragon Demon all this time…”

“I… I even went into the bathhouse with the Dragon Demon…”

These two girls were simply unable to endure such shocking revelations and looked completely dumbfounded.

Having them stay behind in this situation would have been too hard on them.

Therefore, Vivian and Tielle took the two girls and left together.

The group of young ladies lived in an annex, which was quite some distance from the main pavilion; normally, it would take about ten minutes to walk there.

If it were not like this, there inevitably would be gossip about a group of unmarried young ladies staying at a vigorous young man’s house.

Now, only Shane and Ai Yi lived in the main pavilion.

However, hosting Sera and her party wasn’t just up to Shane and Ai Yi.

“Please have some tea.”

Lasha, who appeared unnoticed, served tea to everyone, placing a cup in front of each guest with a calm demeanor.

Yet Sera stared intently at Lasha, her gaze never straying from the moment Lasha appeared.

Behind Sera, Jiasinta was also staring at Lasha with a rigid expression, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

On the other hand, Jesse and Lis looked bemused, glancing around with puzzled faces, apparently unaware of what was going on.

Seeing such reactions from the demons, Shane remembered that at the beginning, they had been quite composed.

But after Lasha appeared, Sera and Jiasinta’s responses became somewhat intriguing.

Sera’s face had drastically changed and her breathing hastened upon seeing Lasha.

Jiasinta was even worse, her body shook when Lasha appeared, and she nearly failed to control herself and cried out.

In contrast, Lasha, seeing the Supreme of the demons and the demon officers, did not show the slightest stage fright; she continued to serve in an impeccably calm manner from beginning to end.

This puzzled Shane and left Ai Yi silent, wordless.

Now, Shane and Sera had already sat down facing each other, Ai Yi also sat beside them, and Jiasinta’s group stood behind Sera, letting Lasha quietly return to Shane’s side.

Only then did Sera reluctantly look away.

“You seem to have a very ‘special’ maid, Lord Beizut.”

Sera took a deep breath and then spoke, perhaps with some underlying thought.

Shane raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lasha still with a calm demeanor beside him, and then looked at Sera.

“Lord Moon Demon is joking,” Shane said with a smile that was not quite a smile, “she’s not my maid, and I can’t believe that the Supreme of the Demon Realm wouldn’t know such a basic fact.”

At that, Sera smiled and didn’t deny it.

Of course, she knew that the maid was not Shane’s.

“If I’m not mistaken, she must be the maid of Laischa from the Old Demon Clan Faction?”

The words that Sera spoke showed that she had some intelligence on the matter.

“Of the past Old Demon Clan Faction?”

Shane responded somewhat evasively.

“So where is this former Old Demon Clan Faction now?” Sera asked with a semi-smile, “To leave such an important maid at your side, that former Old Demon Clan Faction must have a significant relationship with you, right?”

“That’s where you’re mistaken,” Shane shook his head, looking quite serious, “I’ve only met her once or twice, and I wonder if Lord Sera would believe such a thing.”

“Met once or twice?” Sera laughed incredulously, “Would someone you’ve met just once or twice entrust their important maid to you?”

“Who knows?” Shane shrugged, with a trace of severity, “Maybe they think I’m handsome and trustworthy, so they made that decision.”

“Pfft.” Sera burst into laughter and said, “You really are joking, Lord Beizut.”

“…” Shane’s lips twitched, feeling an urge to hit someone.

Although he had deliberately made a frivolous remark, that response still irked him.

I praise my own good looks, and you tell me I’m joking?

Is that indirectly saying I’m ugly?

If only Shane wasn’t unsure whether he could beat this snob, he might truly have slapped her.

Of course, that slap wouldn’t be aimed at the face.

If it were a man, naturally it should be the face, but if it were a strikingly beautiful woman, then it should be the buttocks.

Don’t ask why, ask and you’re a fool.

Shane managed to suppress the urge to roll his eyes and finally got to the main point.

“I must say, Moon Demon Lord, given your myriad responsibilities, you surely must be a very busy person. You couldn’t possibly be serious about wanting to stay at my place, could you?”

Shane stated the matter bluntly.

“What? Is there a problem?”

Sera raised an eyebrow slightly, asking in an unfazed manner.

“Do you really think there is no problem?” Shane stared directly at her, then frankly said, “Then do you dare to swear in the name of Demon King Cladis that your only reason for wanting to live with your sister is truly for her sake?”

At that comment, the smile on Sera’s face froze.

“You…”

Jiasinta’s expression also changed, and he was about to step forward to say something but was forced back by Ai Yi’s piercing stare.

“People do say so, Sister Sela,” Ai Yi said lightly, “What do you plan to do about it?”

What to do?

Isn’t that obvious?

To swear in the name of the Demon King was something Sera definitely couldn’t do.

Otherwise, once she went against it, that would be tantamount to smearing the face of her former king to whom she had been loyal.

As a close confidante and the most trusted demon by the Demon King during his life, how could Sera engage in an act that would tarnish the Demon King’s face?

Thus…

“Should I say, you are truly the chosen one?” Sera’s expression finally turned sarcastic as she spoke, “Is it really fun to drag our revered Demon King into this?”

Some could understand Sera’s words, and some could not.

At least, Jiasinta and his group had no idea whom the so-called “chosen one” referred to.

But those who knew Shane’s true identity understood what Sera was hinting at.

Anyway, Shane thought to himself that indeed it was as expected.

(My identity has really been seen through by this Moon Demon…)

This proved all the advice Luoqi had given Shane was on point.

Sera was not only here for Ai Yi but also for Shane.

Knowing this, Shane felt more relaxed.

His identity was exposed, but what could he do about it now?

He had already done everything he could, and his identity had still been revealed, meaning it must be the will of Heaven.

If so, even if Sera decided to start a war with the Divine Race and the Human Race because of this, causing the God, Human, and Demon clans to launch a war after thousands of years, then it would have nothing to do with Shane.

Shane had already done his utmost, it wasn’t necessary for him to take extra pains over this matter.

Ultimately, he wasn’t from this world, and even if this world was engulfed in war, he would say no more.

Therefore…

“I just want to tell Lord Sera that I’m not a person of great temper either,” Shane said with a smile, “I don’t know how Lord Sera views my existence, or if you think I have any ulterior motives in knowing your sister, but I really don’t like being dragged onto the political stage, especially one that concerns the peace among the three clans.”

Shane’s implication was clear, he was telling Sera that he didn’t intend to do anything special, and he hoped others would not disturb his life based on some suspicions.

Otherwise…

“If I were to get impulsive, then the Demon Clan wouldn’t have it too easy, right?”

The bluntness in Shane’s words was quite evident.

This made the expressions of Jiasinta, Jesse, and Lis turn icy.

Because Shane’s statement was nearly a threat.

Regarding this, Ai Yi said nothing and sat expressionless.

Lasha also diminished her presence, her face indifferent.

However, Sera, apparently not expecting Shane to make such a statement, looked at him deeply.

She did not think Shane’s statement was overly presumptuous.

After all, Sera had special eyesight, and she had been able to discern the true nature of the Holy Sword Shane wore at his waist.

Unfortunately, Sera had not uncovered all the power of Shane’s Holy Sword.

But from what Sera had glimpsed of its power, it was enough to make her concerned.

Thus, Sera could confidently state that though Shane might not yet be a match for a demon, he could already pose a certain threat.

Such growth was far from his limits; Sera felt somewhat apprehensive thinking about what horrible achievements his future might hold.

In addition, given that Shane was a Hero, he was bound to possess a very powerful Unique Skill, making Sera believe Shane’s threat was not weak.

Because she had not seen through that Unique Skill either.

Of course, Sera had not discerned Shane’s Blessing either.

Usually, unless it was something exceptionally special, Sera could decipher an individual’s Unique Skill and Special Skill.

This showcased the strength of Sera’s insight, which went far beyond others’ imaginations.

Yet, this Sera could not see through Shane’s Holy Sword, Blessing, or Unique Skill, no wonder she was compelled to stay and observe.

(To this day, how come such a strong Hero has emerged?)

Sera furrowed her brows deeply and fell into contemplation.
