Lei Yucheng below had his eyes tightly closed and his teeth clenched, seemingly prepared for his face to be kicked out of shape.

But after waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come. He cautiously opened one eye and peeked up.

The girl stood there, her face still showing disdain and impatience, but deep within her pink crystal-like eyes, a hint of confusion and shyness flickered—something he had never seen before.

Finally, Bai Xiaoruo sighed helplessly, as if resigned to her fate, "Alright, alright, stop howling! Get up and talk, aren't you ashamed! Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into out there this time?"

Lei Yucheng felt that Bai Xiaoruo was different today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He didn't think much of it, quickly got up from the ground, patted his clothes, and chuckled, "Boss Bai! It's nothing really, we just wanted to invite you to have dinner with us!"

"That's it...?" Bai Xiaoruo slapped herself in the face, inexplicably feeling her blood pressure rise. "Are you out of your mind? Is this something to make a life-or-death situation over?"

Lei Yucheng wasn't annoyed by the scolding; instead, he quickly added with a grin, "I'm not the only one accompanying you! Sister Xi, Brother Ye, and the others are here too! It's been a long time since we've all gotten together, so this is a good opportunity..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoruo was slightly taken aback.

The "Sister Xi" and "Brother Ye" mentioned by Lei Yucheng are all direct descendants of the other demon emperors. They are about the same age as Bai Xiaoruo and can be considered acquaintances who have interacted with each other.

However, if they also arrived in the Holy City, why didn't they come with Lei Yucheng? Instead, this idiot came to invite them to dinner first.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing, it's so annoying!" Bai Xiaoruo waved her hand, interrupting his nagging. "It's just a meal, I'll go. When are we meeting?"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaoruo finally agree, Lei Yucheng's smile spread as brightly as a chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly said, "Hehehe, I knew Boss Bai was the most loyal! Let's set it for three days from now, at Tianyue Restaurant in the most bustling area of ​​the Holy City! I've already booked the private room!"

The so-called Holy City refers to the Holy City of Ten Thousand Demons, where the Demon Emperor's Palace is located.

The total population of the demon race is far less than that of the human race, which has a strong reproductive capacity. Therefore, there is no political structure similar to the human dynasty in the entire Li Continent. There are only a few scattered cities of varying sizes, as well as more wild demon settlements scattered in the vast mountains and plains, existing in the form of tribes or ethnic groups.

But whether it's a city or a tribe, all the demon forces revere the Demon Emperor's Palace, which is at the very center and the most exalted.

Compared to the super sects of the major continents of the righteous path, which usually rarely directly intervene in mortal affairs, the Demon Emperor Palace's dominance and cohesion over the entire demon race of Li Continent are obviously much higher.

The eight demon emperors represent the eight most powerful demon clans, but they are also required to obey the orders of the demon emperor.

The Holy City of Ten Thousand Demons is a giant city located in the core area of ​​the entire Li Continent. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the center of power and faith of the entire demon race.

"Three days later?" Upon hearing this date, Bai Xiaoruo immediately understood. "Xixi and that show-off... cough cough, Li Ye, they haven't even arrived in the Holy City yet, right?"

Lei Yucheng nodded with an awkward smile: "Only Brother Wei and I arrived ahead of us with our fathers, so we thought we'd come over first to meet you, Boss, and arrange the meeting..."

"I understand." Bai Xiaoruo sat back down in her chair and waved her hand. "I will definitely be there at Tianyue Tower in three days. If there's nothing else, you can go back now. I have other things to do!"

Before leaving, Lei Yucheng scratched his conspicuous white hair, a hint of reluctance on his face, and asked again hesitantly, "Um... Boss Bai, you really don't have any gigolos in your household, do you?"

"roll!"

...

The Demon Emperor's Palace, the Sacred Flame Hall.

The Sacred Flame Hall, the core place where the Demon Emperor Ye Wushang handles the daily affairs of the demon race, is also the most sacred and sublime hall in the hearts of all demons. At this moment, under the sunlight, it reflects a solemn and majestic black-gold light, exuding a magnificent aura.

In the dim light, one could almost see the formless and shapeless phantom of a giant divine bird hovering above the dome of the main hall, its gaze indifferent and majestic as it looked down upon the Demon Emperor's Palace, the entire Holy City of Ten Thousand Demons, and the vast lands of the distant Li Continent!

The interior decorations were even more solemn and magnificent. If Shen Yunhao were here, he would surely think that the luxury and grandeur of the Sacred Flame Palace were probably no less than, if not stronger than, the magnificent North Sea Dragon Palace.

At this moment, inside the central hall, Ye Wushang, dressed in black robes, sat silently on a black and gold throne carved with a phoenix totem.

Four people sit on each of the lower left and right sides.

These eight individuals had different appearances and auras, some majestic, some cold, and some fiery, but without exception, they all exuded a powerful demonic energy that made people's hearts tremble.

Although most of them had unique clothing styles, they all maintained a human appearance like Ye Wushang, with only one or two seemingly intentionally maintaining obvious demon characteristics.

For example, the third person in the right row is as solid as a small mountain. He is over three meters tall just sitting there. In addition to his unusually large and burly physique, the special chair he sits on is four or five times larger than the ones of others.

The man's bare upper body was muscular and his skin was bronze. His head was covered with thick hair, and apart from his face, most of his facial features were covered with brown hair, as if he hadn't groomed it for a year or two.

But these are all quite ordinary. What is most striking is that two thick, long teeth with a milky white sheen protrude from the corners of his lips, curving inwards and extending all the way to his neck, each about a foot long!

From its appearance, it looks very much like ivory, and its overall image is exactly the same as the legendary "orc".

Besides the man, the woman sitting opposite him, with wheat-colored skin and a strong physique, also had some demonic features.

With slight bulges on both sides of its head and a pair of small, shiny black horns with spiral patterns growing from its jet-black hair, it is not difficult to determine that its true form must be some kind of powerful bovine monster.

Apart from these two, the other six people all looked like ordinary people, but their clothes were all very strange.

Some wear only a small amount of animal hide or cloth to cover their bodies, appearing carefree and unrestrained, while others are covered in complete and gorgeous monster fur, exuding primal wildness and domineering aura.

Clearly, everyone present is one of the eight Demon Emperors, the pinnacle of power in Lizhou, below the Demon Emperor!

With their unfathomable cultivation, it would be easy for them to completely transform into a flawless human form. The reason they retain these characteristics is naturally intentional.

They either inherently dislike humans and disdain to completely imitate them, or they simply feel that retaining some of their original characteristics makes them more imposing and pleasing to the eye.
