Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Each Playing Their Part

Listening to the two beauties chatting back and forth, Luo Yang pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

Then he said, “Sister Yue, Sister Jing, if you want to survive, you have to listen to me. Without my permission, you can’t casually report my whereabouts to Lord Bao.”

Jinghua sneered, “Got it. You don’t need to keep reminding us.”

He was worried they might have second thoughts.

These are extraordinary times, and a small mistake could cost one’s life.

Shuiyue and Jinghua, Luo Yang felt they wouldn’t betray him.

But at a critical moment, who knows what they might do?

Luo Yang didn’t want to keep them by his side, but since they were the Lord Bao’s planted spies, he couldn’t refuse.

Taking them along on tasks meant worrying about them constantly reporting back.

Luo Yang was torn.

“I’m afraid you don’t understand the danger, and your own lives…”

Before Luo Yang could finish, Shuiyue interrupted, “You can fool Lord Bao, but you can’t fool us. This afternoon, you’re not really going to the altar, are you? Just talking nonsense.”

This was true.

If Luo Yang were going to the altar, Shuiyue and Jinghua would know.

He chuckled and said, “Sister Yue, Sister Jing, don’t report to Lord Bao. I’m just taking care of some business, and I’ll be back soon.”

For their survival, Shuiyue and Jinghua sometimes followed Luo Yang’s instructions.

However, whether they were genuinely willing to help him was another matter.

If they still leaned towards Lord Bao, Luo Yang would be in trouble.

Therefore, when it came to entering the altar, he wouldn’t tell them everything.

“We won’t tell Lord Bao.” Shuiyue said with a smile.

“That’s good.”

Luo Yang nodded.

The most pressing matter now is to get hold of the Blood Devil, but he couldn’t outright clash with Lord Bao.

Lord Bao had placed Shuiyue and Jinghua as spies, and Luo Yang just had to deal with it cautiously.

He gave each of them a bottle of beauty stream, and they were eager to try it.

Holding the bottle of beauty stream, Jinghua asked, “We’ve never used beauty stream before, could you guide us? Do we just add it to water, or how should we use it?”

Luo Yang replied, “Just add it to water.”

Shuiyue and Jinghua, for survival, were navigating between Luo Yang and Lord Bao.

To be honest, if it were Luo Yang, he might have done the same.

After all, the Lord of Skull Fortress was notoriously ruthless, and any insubordination could mean losing one’s head.

Shuiyue and Jinghua must have been with Lord Bao for quite some time and knew her temperament and methods well.

They feared being killed.

It’s unfortunate they couldn’t understand Luo Yang’s difficulties.

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems.

Interestingly, they didn’t realize that Luo Yang was planning to part ways with them eventually.

If he no longer needed them, Luo Yang could simply say, “Stop bothering me.”

But he still needed to use them to blind Lord Bao’s eyes.

Under such circumstances, Luo Yang could only maintain a friendly relationship with Shuiyue and Jinghua.

With a sly grin, Luo Yang said, “Once you’ve used the beauty stream, you’ll discover its wonders. You’ll be amazed.”

The two women listened, smiling half-believingly.

“Really?” Princess Jinghua laughed.

“Would I lie to you about this? You’ll see results soon. Go ahead, give it a try. Alright, I’m going out to run some errands.”

As Luo Yang was about to leave, Shuiyue and Jinghua blocked him from leaving.

“You don’t need to go to the altar this afternoon, so what exactly are you doing? Can’t you tell us?” Shuiyue said coyly.

She was clearly probing for information, and Luo Yang had to play dumb.

To stay alive, everyone had it tough.

“Just some minor stuff. I’ll tell you when I get back. We’re all on the same side, there’s nothing for me to hide from you.”

Luo Yang said generously.
