The Demon Lord's Fiery Wife 27 Demon Realm Crossover 3

The demon lord walked behind the leader of the guards, as he was shown into an hall that was made elaborately made. He took a seat on one of the finely crafted chairs, while the disciple that showed him in bowed to the "fox prince" again, before taking his leave.

"I can't wait to see their faces when they discover who they let into their grounds. Ha!"

The demon lord was feeling delighted at the thought of seeing the YuanLi sect disciples misery when they finally find out that it was demon lord zhurong that walked into their sect.

"Please can you let Young Miss Li know that Fox Prince Rong is here to see her?"

The guard asked the chamber maids that waited by the entrance that led to the door of LI Jiao's chambers.

"But our young miss said that she doesn't want anyone to disturb her sleep!"

"What do we do?!"

"For some time now, Young Miss Li, has been in a bad mood. I fear losing my head if we go in and wake her up!"

"So are we going to leave a fox prince waiting?!"

The guard was beginning to get frustrated by the situation, he didn't understand why the young mistress of the YuanLi sect was beginning to get very difficult, even when she was ill, she was still as easy going and open to everyone. He heard of what took place at the banquet held in her honor and how blood was almost shed on that day. The guard kept wondering how one person could change that fast in a single day. Had the water damaged her senses?

Although the thought sounded ridiculous, the guard just wanted to find a reason for the strange behavior of the daughter of their sect leader.

"Please, we can't keep the fox prince waiting, it would cause the sect to lose face. I know that Young Miss Li would not want that!"

The maids looked from one to the other, they suddenly feared their mistress, whom in the past they never had any reason to, there was just something about her that made them shiver in fear. How could they tell the sect leader of something the could not put a name to, if they went up to him and sprouting such nonsense about his daughter having an air of evil around her. They knew where that would lead, not only would they be beaten to death, their bodies would never be found and given a decent burial!

Taking a deep breath, the women that served Li Jiao during the time she was alive, tentatively knocked at the door of her bedchambers to announce themselves.

"Young Miss Li, we are hear to get you dressed to see your visitor, the fox prince!"

There was no voice that came from inside after one of them spoke.

"Young Miss Li?!"

The knock became a little louder, probably they thought that she was deep asleep and didn't hear them.

"Young Miss Li!"

Inside the bedchambers of Li Jiao, Xu Hui was not really sleeping, she hadn't been able to sleep after she came back from her sect, her eyes were merely closed with her mind wandering from place to place.

When she heard the knock on her door, Xu Hui was not happy that she had to be disturbed even though she wasn't even sleeping.

"They say the fox prince wants to see me, but when did the demon king have a son? Was it after my death? Why does he want to see me? I thought that their clan never came out of their mountains to see anyone from a cultivation sect!"

Xu Hui pondered on what could be the reason for the visit of a fox prince to the YuanLi sect with a frown that formed on her forehead causing them to crease. After some time, Xu Hui asked for her maids to come inside.

"Come in!"

The door was slowly pushed to the side, as several women walked into the room of Li Jiao.

"Greetings, Young Miss Li. We are sorry to disturb you when you had already ordered for us not to wake you up."

The bedchamber attendants of the young mistress of the YuanLi sect, bowed again in respect to the person that they took to be Li Jiao.

"Has he been here for long?"

"No, Young Miss Li. One of the guards came in as soon as he was shown in."

"Did he say what the visit was about?"

"I'm sorry, Young Miss Li, but the guard never told us what the fox prince wanted to see you about."

"I see, What a rude fellow!"

The women were already uncomfortable being around Xu Hui, now that she raised her voice which she hardly ever did and called the fox royalty a distasteful name, that made them uneasy.

"Are you going to keep standing there? Or would you rather I stand up and get myself dressed?!"

"No, Young Miss Li. Please forgive your ignorant servants!

The women scrambled to begin setting the robe and other item of clothing for the young mistress of the YuanLi sect, a few of them ran out to get the wooden tub and washcloths for her, her hair pin and earrings were carefully looked at to pick the one that would give her the presence of a respectable young miss.

While all this was going on, Xu Hui still laid on the bed, rather than getting up, probably waiting to be helped out of the bed by the maids. It didn't take them long to set everything that she would need for her meeting with the fox prince out.

"Young Miss Li, it is time for your bath."

Four of them assisted Xu Hui out of the bed and walked with her to the space within the room where a big wooden tub was waiting to be used. One by one, they took off her clothing, to place her gently into the steamy hot tub.
