Chapter 925: Outsmarted Yourself?
On the balcony, Yang Yu and Jin danced together.
At first, Yang Yu's dance steps were somewhat immature, but after being corrected by Jin again and again, they gradually became more coordinated.
"I never thought even His Highness Yang Yu would have something he's not good at."
"Nobody is perfect. So, have you regained your confidence? No problems at the ball later, right?"
"Thanks to His Highness Yang Yu, I no longer have any anxiety. Absolutely no problem."
Practice ended, Jin lifted her skirt slightly to express her gratitude to Yang Yu.
"The ball is about to start too. Since there's no problem, it's time to head back." Yang Yu spoke as he started walking.
Summoning her courage, Jin called out:
"Your Highness Yang Yu, please wait a moment. Could you spare a bit more of your time?
I... I...
I have something to tell you.
If I don't say it here, I will definitely regret it.
So, could you spare a bit more of your time?"
Yang Yu stopped and looked at Jin without much thought, returning to where he stood earlier:
"What else is there?"
A scarlet hue crept up Jin's cheeks. She widened her eyes, looking vulnerable and lovely. Her shy, stammering voice, just hearing it, would make countless people feel flustered,
"Your Highness Yang Yu, actually... actually..."
Until now, Jin has used this bashful, adorable expression and fascinating voice to capture countless people, regardless of gender or age, everyone fell for it.
In Jin's view, today's Colorful-haired Masked Man would also follow in the footsteps of those men from the past, falling into her gentle trap.
But this doesn't mean Jin underestimated Yang Yu.
The reason for using the charm only now is a testament to Jin's cautious approach.
Only by step by step breaking down Yang Yu's guard can she ensure absolute control over Yang Yu.
At the moment their eyes met, a special pink magic power shot out from Jin's eyes, silently slipping into Yang Yu's mind.
Jin gently snapped her fingers, and Yang Yu stood motionless.
Scanning Yang Yu from head to toe, Jin tentatively said, "Your Highness Yang Yu, can you hear me?"
Yang Yu stood frozen, not responding.
Jin snapped her fingers again in front of Yang Yu, "Your Highness Yang Yu, I need your help with something..."
Yang Yu replied woodenly, "Miss Jin, I am happy to serve you."
Success.
A serpentine, sinister smile crept across her lips as Jin summoned an array, taking out a cup of bright green tea, she handed it to Yang Yu:
"His Highness Yang Yu, since you have practiced with me for so long, you must be thirsty, right? This tea is specially prepared for you, please enjoy it slowly."
"Alright. Thank you, Miss Jin." Yang Yu took the cup and drank it down without hesitation.
This is a specially formulated potion.
Once consumed, the charmed individual cannot break free of the charm through ordinary means for a short period of time.
Seeing Yang Yu finish the potion so decisively, Jin's smile deepened, "Your Highness Yang Yu, you are a great hero of this country.
I am particularly eager to hear your heroic deeds from your own lips...
Why did you work so hard to guide the two countries towards peace?"
Yang Yu answered woodenly, "At first, I just wanted to become stronger and challenge myself, which is why I got involved in this war."
"That's quite an unexpected answer."
"Initially, I didn't really care about the outcome of the war, but as it went on, I sensed something unusual and decided to change my plan..."
Jin still using her "bashful Jin" tone, asked, "What kind of unusual?"
"We discovered that both sides of the war were being manipulated by someone who wanted to reap the benefits."
"Huh? That's impressive," Jin didn't ask how Yang Yu sensed it, but instead, switched to her topic of interest, "Your Highness Yang Yu, how did you discover those under the enchantment? And how did you identify the Enchanting Demon?"
Yang Yu pointed at his eyes and said, "I inherited an ancient relic with the ability to see through 'anomalies'."
Jin immediately perked up, "I thought this was your deduction. I didn't expect you to harbor such a secret. Can this method one hundred percent identify someone as an Enchanting Demon?"
Yang Yu shook his head, "It cannot. Some people, I can be sure are Enchanting Demons, but there's no visible sign, just like...
Yang Yu raised his hand and pointed at Jin, "Miss Jin, you and your sisters are Enchanting Demons."
Jin was first stunned, her spine went cold, then she chuckled,
"You know I'm an Enchanting Demon and still deliberately spend time with me, what are you thinking, aren't you afraid I'll charm you?"
Yang Yu responded, "I have other potions aside from those two. Though not as effective, they can also resist being charmed. If you used your charm on me while we're alone, I would have ample evidence..."
The "bashful Jin" vanished instantly, revealing her true nature. She laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, losing all composure:
"In the end, that potion of yours is now useless, and you've been completely controlled, haven't you?
What a case of blowing your own cleverness!
You've truly underestimated my Charming Magic."
Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corner of her eyes, Jin suddenly became extremely serious and asked:
"Besides you, is there anyone else plotting with you?"
Yang Yu shook his head, "I thought about collaborating with others, but considering the aftermath, becoming the hero alone would be more beneficial to me, so I didn't discuss my plan with anyone else."
"What aftermath allows you to take such a risk?"
Yang Yu answered, "The mastermind behind controlling the Enchanting Demons is quite a big catch.
I used to be an adventurer, and have encountered some peculiar creatures.
My companions sensed an unusual aura in the underground maze, the same one sensed during the war.
In other words, the mastermind possesses countless treasures, and even occupies ancient relics.
If I take him down, all those things would be mine."
Listening to Yang Yu's explanation, Jin could hardly contain her surprise, "To think that far ahead, no wonder the Master values you highly."
"It's nothing. There are some things I still care about."
"Speak your mind."
"Until now, I still can't understand... the mastermind should have come here as the Demon King's advance party, they've not created massive chaos, but are maintaining the balance of the two countries' war as much as possible. Why is this?"
Hearing Yang Yu's inquiry, Jin's admiration for Yang Yu grew, and she was also amazed by
his curiosity despite being under control: "Interesting, very interesting. These things, once you reach the Master, you will know naturally. You are my loyal servant and also the Master's loyal servant."
"I really look forward to meeting Miss Jin's master. By the way, Miss Jin, I still don't understand something.
If Miss Jin's master brought so many Enchanting Demons into this world, surely it would attract some attention.
Are all the Enchanting Demons currently from the Demon World? Or did Miss Jin awaken to the power of the Enchanting Demon herself..."
Jin did not answer directly: "The time is about up. Remember, you absolutely cannot talk about your being controlled now, nor reveal what you know to others. Whatever I ask you to do next, it's all from your personal will."
"Understood, Miss Jin. But, Miss Jin, what if... I say now that I actually haven't been controlled, and by that have gained evidence of you being an Enchanting Demon?"
