Mu Tiantian was placed in a bedroom, where she was served by special people every day, and had no shortage of good food and drink.

The only downside is that she can't leave the Demon King's Palace.

Upon reaching the palace gate, she was stopped by several demon guards who said, "Please return to the palace, Miss Lin."

"I'm just going out for a stroll, you can come with me." Mu Tiantian said, taking out three bags of green spirit stones to bribe them. "Brothers, these green spirit stones are all top-grade, and can be exchanged for spirit stones, the currency of various realms. Keep them and use them if you need them."

Ever since she learned that she couldn't leave the Demon King's Palace, she started looking for a way. Each realm has its own currency, and besides ordinary silver coins, the most precious currency is crystal, followed by spirit stones.

The Green Spirit Stones of the Demon Realm can not only collect spiritual energy to help demons cultivate, but also be used to purchase spiritual artifacts and magical implements from other realms, making them very useful.

In the past two days, she played several rounds of dice mahjong with many demon guards and won quite a bit.

The three demon guards standing at the palace gate exchanged glances; they had to admit, they were indeed quite tempted.

Seeing that they were wavering, Mu Tiantian took out two more bags of green spirit stones. "There are five bags of spirit stones here in total. Why don't you three brothers share them?"

The three demon guards' eyes lit up, and their mouths were practically stretched to their ears in a wide grin.

"Miss Lin, you're so kind. We..."

"If any of you dare touch me, I, the Palace Master, will chop off your hands!" Lian'er's threatening voice rang out from behind Mu Tiantian.

"Greetings, Lord Lotus Palace Master." All the demon guards knelt down.

Lian'er, dressed in a white dress, looked rather aloof. She walked up to Mu Tiantian and said, "Miss Lin, this isn't a place for you, is it?"

Mu Tiantian's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Lord Lian, I just want to take a stroll around the Demon Immortal City."

It is said that Feng Lin has been in seclusion for the past few days and will not emerge for at least half a month.

She wanted to take advantage of her free time to find Qitong. Logically, since it had been following her, it should have arrived long ago, but it just wouldn't show up.

Something must have happened.

It seems that Feng Lin has completely trapped her in the Demon King's Palace, preventing her from leaving even a step. However, she doesn't know what he wants to do, and she feels a little panicked.

The Lotus Demon Lord was the one who mainly looked after her. Apart from his less-than-ideal attitude, he did take meticulous care of her in her daily life.

"Without the Evil Lord's order, I cannot let you out. Miss Lin, please go back." Lian'er gestured for her to leave with a cold expression.

"These spirit stones..." Mu Tiantian said, about to give away all the spirit stones in her hand.

Lian'er merely glanced at her and said seriously, "Miss Lin, if I accept these and let you go, by the time Lord Evil Lord emerges from seclusion and learns of this, my hands will be completely ruined. Miss Lin, are you trying to put me in this situation?"

Mu Tiantian couldn't believe it. "Would he really do that?"

Seeing that she didn't understand Feng Lin's personality, Lian'er looked at her suspiciously, "You don't understand him?"

"I understand...of course I understand." Mu Tiantian glanced at the palace gate, smiled, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

She dared not say she didn't understand; if it reached Feng Lin's ears, he might misunderstand it in some way.

Lian'er glanced at the demon guard kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Get up."

"Thank...ah!"

The word "thank you" had barely left his lips when the screams of the three demon guards rang out.

Mu Tiantian, who was walking back, heard the sound and turned around, but the sound suddenly disappeared.

She scratched her head, puzzled. "Am I hallucinating?"

Mu Tiantian shook her head. She should hurry up and think about how to find Qitong, so that it could come to her aid if something really happened to her.

She remembered that when she went to the Ghost King's City, she noticed that the Ghost Princess had a token on her waist.

Feng Ying and You Jing also have similar tokens, but their token designs are different.

Lian'er also had a token.

Presumably, each realm's administrator possesses a unique token, which undoubtedly symbolizes their identity.

This is the Demon Realm, so Feng Lin should have it too.

Since he tricked her out of her divine token, she has no choice but to trick him into giving her one back.

However... she has to be able to fool him first...

now.

At the gate of the Demon King's Palace.

The fingers of the three demon guards all fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Their mouths were sealed by demonic power, so they couldn't shout out.

Lian'er glanced at the three of them sideways. "This is a warning. Considering it's your first offense, I only used one-tenth of my demonic power. Your fingers will grow back. But if you ever try to accept bribes again, it won't just be a few fingers you lose. If the Evil Lord finds out..."

“Mmm-hmm—” The three demon guards nodded vigorously, trying to speak.

Lian'er removed the spell that sealed their mouths.

"Your subordinate will obey Lord Lian's orders and there will absolutely be no next time." The demon guard knelt down to express his determination.

As Lian'er was about to leave, the token at her waist flashed green.

She took out the sash, and Bai Tu's voice came from inside.

"Lord Lotus, there's an anomaly in the surveillance crystal. It seems someone from another realm has sneaked in. I hope you can keep a close eye on things in Demon Immortal City. Also, two High Gods wish to see Lord Evil Lord."

"A deity?" Lian'er asked, "Who?"

"The God of Ink and the God of Azure Sky".

Lian'er was a little disappointed to hear that it was these two people, and casually replied, "The Evil Lord is not here. He is currently wanted by the Divine Realm and will probably be wanted by the entire realm soon. How could he possibly come back? If you two gods don't believe me, you can come and see for yourselves."

"Since neither of you two deities possesses a divine token nor a domain pass, you wish to have Lord Evil Lord bring the Demon Immortal Token to grant you passage," Bai Tu asked. "You two deities also wish to know the whereabouts of Lord Demon Immortal. Could Palace Master Lian please provide some information?"

"I don't know where the Demon Immortal is either. Please forgive me for being unable to help. I hope you two gods will understand. I'm very busy with the recent migration of demon beasts. Goodbye." With that, Lian'er cut off the connection and put away the waist token.

At this moment, a demon guard returned from outside the palace gate and reported, "Lord Lian, a fiery red spirit beast has been found outside Demon Immortal City. I have never seen it before, and it is not recorded in the list given by Patrolman Bai. There is also a leopard demon beast next to it, but according to the records, all the demon beasts and spirit beasts of the leopard clan have arrived at Demon Immortal City, and the rest have been confirmed dead in the forest. There should be no omissions."

Due to the unique terrain of the Demon Realm, there is a large-scale migration every year. Therefore, both patrol officers and the managers of the Demon Realm attach great importance to this. In order to prevent demonic beasts and wild animals from other realms from mixing in and harming the spirit beasts of the Demon Realm, they will conduct more careful screening and retrieval.

Their identities are confirmed before they even reach the Demon Immortal City, and this has been done for hundreds or even thousands of years without any mishaps.

Lian'er found it intriguing and went to investigate.

at the same time.

Mu Tiantian arrived at a side hall, but was stopped by the demon guards before she even entered. "Miss Lin, this is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter."

"I just want to ask, Ah Lin... uh... where is the Evil Lord?" For some reason, she had a feeling that Feng Lin was inside.

This side hall is dark and completely different from the other palaces.

"We don't know either. Please, Miss Lin, stay away from here and don't make things difficult for us." The demon guard said with a serious expression.

Mu Tiantian asked, "Is anyone inside?"

"No," the demon guard replied affirmatively.

Seeing this, Mu Tiantian could no longer insist and walked a little further away, but she did not leave completely, because she noticed that several demon servants carrying medicine were entering the side hall one after another.

Therefore, there must be someone inside.

She needs to find a way to sneak in.

These past two days, the Lotus Palace Master has been feeding her delicious food, spiritual fruits, and spiritual water. She feels that the spiritual power in her body has increased a lot. She doesn't know if she can use her divine power like she did at the seaside last time.

Mu Tiantian tried to use her divine power to become invisible and followed behind several demon servants into the side hall. The demon guards outside the hall did not see her.

One of the demon guards sniffed the air and asked curiously, "Brother, can you smell... the scent of Blood Demon Ginseng? It seems to be from Miss Lin. Why does this scent come in waves..."

Another demon guard disagreed, "Perhaps Miss Lin is just wandering around nearby. The Evil Lord has explicitly forbidden it; Miss Lin must not be allowed to come to this side hall. Keep a good watch."

After Mu Tiantian slipped into the side hall, the demon servant walking in front of her suddenly stopped, turned around, and sniffed.

She quickly hid in the shadows; these demons had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

Why does the Blood Demon Ginseng smell so strong?

"The Evil Lord has planted quite a few Blood Demon Ginsengs nearby, what's so strange about that?"

"But the taste also has a... tsk... indescribable smell mixed in."

A demon servant glanced at it a few times and said, "Don't think nonsense. Even if other lesser demons dare to break into this side hall, they won't survive. Alright, hurry up and send this medicine to Lord Evil Lord, or we can't afford to be late."

The demon servants quickened their pace, no longer lingering.

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and followed at a distance.

...

In the center of the spacious room stood a circular bathtub. A man soaking in the tub had hair that was half black and half white; the black hair partially obscured his face, revealing faint black demonic markings that stretched down to his collarbone...
