Jiu Ran's words made me even more curious about this Nine-Tailed Demon. What kind of demon was it, and was it as easy to get along with as everyone said?

I still have some reservations. After all, this doesn't feel like my own territory, and we're all alone in the face of any trouble.

Moreover, just hearing about it is enough to imagine how powerful this Nine-Tails is; one can only imagine how intimidating he must be in person.

The group arrived at a city gate, where two demons on guard stopped them.

Jiu Ran slowly walked forward from behind and said to the guard, "These are Lord Nine-Tailed Fox's guests. Open the city gate and let them pass."

At the same time, he also took out a token that was neither too big nor too small from his person.

Upon seeing the token, the demon on guard shouted inside, "Lord Jiu Ran is bringing guests into the city. Open the city gates immediately!"

With a loud crash, the massive city gate was pushed open from the inside.

The guard respectfully said to Jiu Ran, "Lord Jiu Ran, please come in!"

Jiu Ran also addressed the crowd, saying, "Please, fellow Daoists!"

Following Jiu Ran into the city, the scene inside was even more prosperous than outside, giving it a real sense of peace and prosperity.

As the advisor walked, he exclaimed, "I never imagined that the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor could gather these demons together in such an orderly manner. Truly remarkable."

Jiu Ran pointed around and then said, "This city is the Demon Emperor City, personally governed by Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, and its security is the best."

"After all, no demon has ever dared to cause trouble under the Nine-Tailed Fox's nose. Even the other demon kings don't have that kind of guts."

"We are truly content with the state of the demon race now, after all, we no longer have to experience the flames of war."

The advisor nodded in agreement: "The Demon Emperor is right. War is harmful to any era and any race."

Finally, the group entered a place that resembled a palace. In the very center of the palace sat a woman with hair that reached her waist.

The woman's face was absolutely beautiful; there wasn't a single flaw to be found on her face.

Upon seeing everyone enter, he stood up from his seat and walked downstairs.

"Thank you all for your hard work, Taoist priests. Since you have come, you must have brought your sincere wishes."

“I am deeply moved. Please, all of you Taoist priests, take a seat. Someone, serve you tea.”

After everyone was seated, the woman returned to her seat.

Soon, a group of maids brought out the tea.

I hesitated, unsure if the tea was safe to drink, and remained inactive for a long time.

The advisor, however, was not overly reserved. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and then said:

"I've been wandering around for so long that it's been many years since I've had such authentic tea."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Demon Emperor, hahaha."

Judging from the advisor's expression, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
