Chapter 214 What? Is it related to the third brother?
With the blood moon in the sky, the night in the magic city is darker than usual.
Xiaobai walked in the void, and a green lotus bloomed under his feet with every step.
The obsidian gate of the Demon Lord's palace opened silently in front of her. The demon guards standing on both sides lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the newly-conferred "Saint".
The interior of the palace was unexpectedly bright, with countless blue ghost lights suspended in the air, illuminating the black crystal floor like a galaxy. Xiaobai looked around vigilantly, but did not sense any ambush.
"Her Highness the Goddess has finally honored you with her presence." The voice of Demon Lord Cangming came from above.
He was leaning on the throne, his face under the black-gold crown was more handsome than the shadow, but also more dangerous.
Xiao Bai did not correct his address, but said coldly: "The Demon Lord is hosting a banquet, I wonder what you can do for me?"
Cang Ming chuckled and clapped his hands.
A group of demon maids came in one after another holding gilded food boxes and placed a table of exquisite dishes in front of Xiaobai.
Xiaobai's pupils shrank slightly. These were all spiritual foods unique to the small world managed by Fan Wujiu. Some of them were even the ones he often made for her.
"Not to your taste?" Cang Ming propped up his chin and observed her reaction with interest.
Xiaobai picked up a piece of crystal clear pastry calmly and said, "The Demon Lord is thoughtful. He can even find food in this remote little world."
"I know Fan Wujiu quite well."
Cang Ming said meaningfully, "After all, he owes me more than just a promise."
Xiaobai put down his chopsticks and looked directly at the Demon Lord: "Why don't we get straight to the point?"
Cang Ming suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter caused the ghost fire in the hall to shake violently.
He stood up, his black robe spreading out like the night: "Okay! I like straightforward people." He walked down the stairs and stopped three steps away from Xiaobai.
"I don't want to be your enemy, Bai Li." Cang Ming's voice suddenly became low and sincere, "On the contrary, I can help you regain the throne of the goddess.
When you return to your position and the gods regain control of the three realms and six paths, my demon clan is willing to form an alliance with you. "
Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes: "Conditions?"
"Smart." Cang Ming nodded in appreciation, "I only have one request: bring Nangong Wentian to see me."
"My third senior brother?" Xiaobai was really surprised this time.
There was a trace of barely perceptible pain in Cang Ming's eyes: "He is the reincarnation of my son's soul."
The hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
Xiaobai felt dizzy, and the image of the Demon Lord's personality in his third senior brother flashed through his mind. It turned out that it was not an accident, but proof of his bloodline.
"His mother is the most outstanding alchemist in the world of cultivation." Cangming's voice was filled with long-lost nostalgia, "When we were in love, she was still a little girl who liked to hum songs beside the alchemy furnace." His expression suddenly became ferocious, "But those cultivators who claimed to be righteous forced her to death because she was half-demon blood."
Xiaobai subconsciously took a half step back. Cangming immediately restrained his emotions and returned to his lazy look: "At that time, I was fighting for the throne in the demon world. When I fought my way out, she had already..." He paused, "Our son lived to the age of five, but was eventually discovered by those monks.
His soul was shattered, and only one strand of him was lucky enough to be reincarnated as your third senior brother.
Xiao Bai's heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface: "You want to recognize him?"
"No." Cang Ming smiled bitterly, "I know he will never recognize a devil like me as his father.
I just wanted to check on him and make sure he was okay."
He looked at Xiao Bai with a pleading look in his eyes, "You can tell him the truth and let him choose whether to come to see me."
Xiao Bai was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I will pass it on, but I can't guarantee the result."
"That's enough." Cang Ming was relieved and took out a purple crystal box from his sleeve, "Demon World Flower Ziyou, the thing you want."
Xiaobai took the box and felt the surging magic power inside. She asked cautiously: "Why are you helping me?"
"Because the high priest already knows your identity." Cang Ming's expression suddenly became serious, "Helian Zhe is his illegitimate son. If you kill Helian Zhe, he will never let you go."
Xiaobai held Ziyou tightly: "So this is a deal?"
"It's cooperation." Cang Ming corrected, "I won't provide protection, you have to fight your way out by yourself.
I remind you that the high priest will use the power of the demon god Chi, so be careful. "
Before he finished speaking, a shrill horn sounded suddenly from outside the palace.
Cang Ming's expression changed: "You came so quickly." He waved his hand violently, and a secret door appeared on the wall. "Going from here can avoid the ambush at the main gate."
Xiao Bai didn't move: "Why don't you just capture me and ask for credit from the high priest?"
Cang Ming's mouth curled up into a cold smile: "I hate being threatened the most. Besides..." His eyes became deep, "I owe Fan Wuyou a favor."
Fan Wuyou? Xiaobai was shocked. Isn't this the name of the sister that Fan Wujiu mentioned? But now is not the time to ask. She walked towards the secret door and turned back before leaving: "If my third brother is willing to see you, I will send a message."
Cang Ming nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. The secret door closed silently behind Xiao Bai, blocking the Demon Lord's last words: "Stay alive, Your Highness the Goddess."
The secret passage was damp and dark, and Xiaobai's footsteps were absorbed by the special stone slabs.
