"Lord Hong Yu, my lady requests your presence!"
The young woman smiled at Hong Yu. Her graceful posture suggested she was well-bred.
Hong Yu didn't answer, looking questioningly at Xiahuang Shang instead.
Xiahuang Shang chuckled. "Younger Brother Hong, her master is none other than Princess Zhu Ling'Er of the Vermilion Bird Duchy!"
"The Evil Fire Phoenix?"
Hong Yu's eyes lit up as he blurted it out subconsciously.
Xiahuang Shang went "Er..." He clearly hadn't expected this reaction from Hong Yu and looked a bit awkward.
After all...
Zhu Ling'Er herself wasn't fond of the title "Evil Fire Phoenix."
For Hong Yu to say it in front of her handmaiden was quite rude.
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Hong Yu gave a wry smile. "My apologies. I have a loose tongue. I hope you can forgive me, young lady!"
"Hehe, you jest, Lord Hong Yu. You are merely straightforward!"
