This was a perfectly normal arrangement, and Daji thought that the big boss wouldn't cause him any trouble because of this identity issue.

“Mengmeng needs an image consultant. Since you’re good at that, why don’t you go report to her team after this is over?” With a flick of his hand, Yan Di’s business card instantly turned to dust and disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Daji's lips twitched. This was a threat, wasn't it?

But what could he do? He was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless little fox!

"And switch your gender! I hate the smell of male foxes!"

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly, and the danger emanating from them made Daji, who was sitting in the driver's seat, jump up in fright again. Almost without him having to think much, by the time he spoke again, 'he' had already successfully become 'she'.

"My lord, are we really going to Xuanyuan Tomb?" Daji's voice was very clear and pure. Perhaps because there was this powerful figure behind her, even though she was a top-notch expert in charm, she dared not reveal the slightest bit of her charm at this moment!

Don't ask her why she's so serious; the answer is that there's another big shot sleeping behind her!

Compared to the Gluttonous Beast, the Pixiu is far more terrifying to these monsters, almost like a natural enemy! While it's said that as long as you don't do evil, you won't be targeted by the Pixiu, who can guarantee they'll never make a mistake in their entire life?!

Tell her to use her charm on the Pixiu's partner...

She must be tired of living to have the idea of ​​dancing on a grave!

"To deal with the Heavenly Cloud Sword, the Xuanyuan Sword is indeed a good choice." Emperor Yan gently stroked Song Mengmeng's soft black hair as she lay in his arms, answering Daji's question in a detached tone.

He certainly knew what Daji wanted to say.

In fact, whether it's dealing with those annoying monsters in the Sakura Kingdom or dealing with the yet-to-be-revealed Kusanagi Sword, with him around, there's no need for the complicated task of retrieving the Xuanyuan Sword right now.

For him, everything is edible, and those things are just minor issues that he can easily resolve with a single meal.

But the little one has her own ideas, so naturally he has to cooperate with her decisions and habits, and obediently play this game of following the rules.

Although it was troublesome, he found himself enjoying it quite unexpectedly.

The joy of accompanying his little girl as she explores and grows is something that nothing else can replace!

In order to continue this happiness, he doesn't mind making the way of dealing with problems more complicated. For example, this time, he could of course just go over and devour that annoying guy directly, but the little girl would lose a lot of fun!

He didn't want his little girl to throw a tantrum over this!

Daji has experienced a lot in this world. Although the King of Hell did not say it explicitly, she understood after a little thought that the reason he chose to take a roundabout solution was simply because it was another big shot's suggestion to retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword!

Once again caught off guard by being forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Daji wisely ended the topic that was making her feel bloated and changed to something she thought wouldn't be too offensive: "My lord, we won't arrive in Dongdu City until evening at the earliest. What are we going to do for lunch?"

Although it is said that monsters can live without food, after adapting to life in the human world, they often unconsciously start to pay attention to details and habits that do not actually affect their lives as monsters.

For example, the time to enjoy delicious food, which is taken for granted.

"Once Mengmeng wakes up, she'll decide." Yan Di lowered his eyes, looking at the little girl who was sleeping soundly nestled on his lap, and slowly said, "Now, you, drive carefully!"

Daji was utterly despairing after being force-fed another mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). She decided to obey and shut up, lest she be choked to death!

When we arrived in Dongdu City, it was already past 8 p.m.

Following the instructions of the King of Hell, Daji drove to a hotel under the name of Emperor Shi in the urban area of ​​Dongdu City, deciding to rest for one night and then head to Xuanyuan Tomb the next day.

In fact, Xuanyuan Tomb, which is considered a forbidden place in the hearts of Daji and other demons, is a historical site in Dongdu City. However, it looks like a dilapidated mound. No matter how domineering the name is, it is basically a deserted and desolate place surrounded by famous historical sites such as the Peony Garden in Dongdu.

There weren't even any staff members to look after the tourists, let alone tourists.

"If you want to enter Xuanyuan Tomb, you can only wait until the night of the full moon." The next afternoon, Daji drove with Yandi and Song Mengmeng to set off again. Around dusk, she parked the car next to that ordinary-looking hill.

"We're pretty lucky this time, it just so happens to be a full moon today. Once the moon rises into the sky, the entrance to the barrier will naturally be revealed."

We are no longer living in the era of the Investiture of the Gods thousands of years ago.

With spiritual energy now depleted, many once-renowned treasure lands in the Three Realms have lost their former glory, either declining and disappearing and becoming difficult to find, or, like Xuanyuan Tomb, being protected by a barrier and hidden in the human world.

Song Mengmeng leaned against the car window, peering curiously at the small hill outside. After a long while, she turned to Yan Di, who was sitting next to her working on his laptop, and asked, "Didn't they say that the spiritual energy in this world has been exhausted? Why is there still such a powerful barrier?"

"Although the spiritual energy has been exhausted, the Heavenly Dao still exists. The Heavenly Dao will not allow an artifact like the Xuanyuan Sword, which can change the fate of the world, to be controlled at will." The Yama Emperor did not look up, but simply gave her an answer to this question.

The Xuanyuan Sword is said to be a divine sword, but no matter how powerful it is, it is still just a weapon!

If it falls into the hands of good people, it will be a sharp weapon to uphold justice and eliminate evil; but if it falls into the hands of evil spirits and demons, it will be an accomplice to evil!

The Heavenly Dao of this small world is wise; naturally, it wouldn't leave such a dangerous thing out in the open for others to rob during such a difficult time!

"But didn't Daji say that the Xuanyuan Sword is the nemesis of all demons and monsters? Even Daji can't get close to it, so what evil spirits can get near it?!" Although Song Mengmeng felt that what Yan Di said made a lot of sense, she couldn't help but think of the worry and fear that Daji had shown when she mentioned the Xuanyuan Sword before. It didn't seem like she was faking it!

"As long as this power exists, those with the will will always find a flaw! After all, people are alive, but swords are dead." After sending the last email, Yan Di slowly closed his computer, turned to look at Song Mengmeng, and patiently answered her questions.
