Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Black Turtle read thousands of articles about chasing wives in crematoriums, but he never thought that in these long thousand years, he would actually encounter a star-chasing crematorium.
It's true that as long as you live long enough, anything is possible.
How is this not a blessing?
But at this moment, being stared at by two of his favorite actors, and seeing two pairs of expectant eyes, Xuan Gui just wanted to play dead and get through this Shura scene.
However, it couldn't just muddle along, it really didn't want this blessing. Helplessly, the black tortoise had to look to Ning Su for help.
There is no way. Although these dragons are a bit bad, they are all very smart. Throughout history, no matter what kind of big things the demon world faces, they are always the ones who can find a solution in the end.
Ning Su was originally enjoying the show, but when he saw Black Turtle's eyes almost twitching because of the wink he received from him, he couldn't help laughing.
Wait until the other party really suppresses his laughter and comes to the rescue.
"I'm afraid we need to find a way to deal with the body of this wolf demon." After the wolf demon was knocked down by Ning Su's punch, its brains were splattered all over the place, which looked very undignified no matter how you looked at it.
Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, changing the subject is the best.
Sure enough, after hearing Ning Su's words, the two actors recalled the moment before the life-and-death crisis not long ago. Their faces turned pale and they no longer bothered to ask Xuangui the fatal question.
"You two, let me take you to rest first." Yu Xi received Ning Su's instructions and stepped forward and whispered.
The two guests heard Yuxi's familiar voice and realized that the young woman was the one who had just contacted them. Their eyes lit up slightly, their expressions settled, they nodded, and followed Yuxi out of the banquet hall.
However, the moment their figures disappeared, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed.
The monsters from the Xiliang Monster Kingdom unconsciously surrounded the few organized monsters who had infiltrated their ranks, staring at them with fierce eyes and being alert in their movements.
A monster from the Monster Bureau sneaked in without their knowledge and almost ruined the king's banquet.
People can be tolerated, but monsters cannot be tolerated!
Today, they must make these organized monsters pay a sufficient price.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was becoming tense, several oracles also frowned.
However, although they were all facing danger, the monsters' reactions were different - Director Lin frowned anxiously, trying his best to keep the monsters within his attack range.
Xiang Yu was very excited. Not only was he not afraid of the possible conflict, he was even eager to try and could not wait to fight.
In addition, the camel demon who had just brought them here and charged a huge amount of money for the journey had already sneaked away.
Ning Su: “…”
Are there any reliable colleagues among his?
Since Ning Su was the person in charge in this event and served as a team leader, and it was also his request to sneak into the Demon King's birthday party, he had no reason to back down at this point in time.
"Your Majesty the Demon King." Amid the increasingly tense situation, Ning Su's sudden voice attracted the attention of all the demons.
"What's wrong?" There was a hint of anticipation in Black Turtle's tone.
To some extent, the little demons are so powerful because of its connivance.
"It's indeed our fault for disturbing you. But this time, we have also prepared some birthday gifts for you." Although he was being stared at by the little demons, Ning Su was not nervous and spoke politely.
As our ancestors said, never fight a battle without preparation. It is impossible for Ning Su and other monsters to be completely unprepared when they come to the monster king's birthday.
This gift may not necessarily be given away, but at a critical moment, it will be a good excuse to break the deadlock and ease the atmosphere.
"Oh? What is it?" The black turtle's tone was still somewhat frivolous, and its mentality of watching the fun and not minding the trouble was fully displayed in it.
As it said this, it looked around at the gifts it had received today, which had now piled up into a small mountain.
It didn't believe that the little dragon in front of it could come up with something better.
"This, together with the lifetime membership of XX website, gives you unlimited access to all the films in the library." Ning Su took out a laptop computer.
Ning Su had long known that this demon king liked human things. When preparing gifts, he would definitely work towards this goal.
"oh?"
The black tortoise's eyes moved, but it still raised its head.
It will not admit that the reason why it has not been able to watch movies over the years is because it cannot register as a member on human websites or recharge its account.
"Nintendo's console, and every game it has released since its creation."
Ning Su did not bring this gift, but thanks to Tang Erbao, he had all the items in stock at home. If the Demon King liked them, he could naturally provide them all quickly, even the holographic game made by his friends.
"Games...haha." The black tortoise smacked his lips and only uttered a few syllables.
It's not that it's not tempted, it's just that the living environment is average. Even if it has a game console, it can only play it a few times and it will soon become waste.
"A concert of a certain diva, and a handshake event." Seeing that the Demon King remained calm, Ning Su had no choice but to use his last killer move.
A handshake meeting?
When Black Turtle heard the words "handshake meeting of the Queen", his eyes suddenly widened.
At this moment, it only felt its heartbeat quicken and its breathing became heavy - why is this little dragon so cunning?
It knows that the other party is just making big promises, but it wants to eat every piece of the pie.
Especially the queen that Xiaolong mentioned happens to be its favorite singer.
Once upon a time, when it was still able to access the Internet, it spent countless days and nights listening to the singer's works. Not only that, it also secretly wrote emails to her, hoping that she could come to City X to hold a concert.
Seeing the dull look in the black turtle's eyes, Ning Su felt a hint of smile in his heart.
It was no coincidence that the third gift hit the spot for Xuan Gui - by analyzing Xuan Gui's film preferences, he roughly determined the era when the other party was paying attention to the entertainment industry.
In this era, the queen is undoubtedly the brightest star, representing the pulse of the entire era.
The black turtle really liked her.
Come to think of it, this discovery is not without evidence - just now, Ning Su discovered that there were a few plastic roses pinned behind the Black Turtle Throne.
This is not only the symbol of this superstar, but also a token of support from fans.
"She has a farewell concert tour in City A this year." Seeing that Black Turtle had taken the bait, Ning Su was not in a hurry, but just calmly increased the bet.
"I can go with you if you want."
"It's a farewell concert." Ning Su emphasized the word "farewell".
Time is merciless and fleeting. For a great demon, decades are just a blink of an eye, but for a human, this period of time is half a lifetime.
The superstar who had just made his debut and exuded charm on the stage has also come to the end of his life.
Black Turtle's eyes moved, and he could no longer resist the gift from Ning Su.
“I’ll go!”
If I can't see my idol one last time before he leaves, what's the meaning of his long life?
"Your Majesty!" The little demons under the throne cried out in unison.
They knew very well that the so-called gift-giving by this abominable monster was not as simple as just giving gifts.
The monsters from the Monster Bureau broke in without reason, ruined the king's birthday banquet, and were in the wrong from beginning to end.
As the party in the right, they can naturally make the other party pay the price - but if the king accepts the other party's gift, the "intrusion" will no longer exist, and the monsters in the monster bureau will become guests.
In this case, how can they cause trouble?
"You don't have to say anymore." The black turtle has lived for a thousand years. How could it not understand the principles that the little demons could understand?
But, what’s the point of winning when competing with the monsters?
Could it possibly kill all these monsters? Besides, even if it killed all these monsters, what else would it do except to swear?
Can the little monsters in the Western Monster Kingdom get a better life?
What's more, it may not be able to defeat this little dragon.
Since violence doesn't work, the best way is to sit down and talk slowly - if the other party is willing to soften his words and take the initiative to give in, it will not stubbornly refuse to give face.
Of course, no matter what, it would not admit that Xiaolong's birthday gift touched its heart and played a key role.
After all, in its original plan, it was not prepared to let those little brats from the Demon Bureau go so easily.
The only thing to blame is that the other party gave too much.
"The gifts have been delivered, you can all go now." Thinking of this, the black turtle was too lazy to say anything to these little demons anymore. He waved his hand and asked them to leave.
"king!"
The little demons begged and looked at Ning Su with resentful eyes, as if he was a demon concubine in ancient times who seduced the monarch and influenced the government.
Ning Su: “…”
That's really embarrassing.
Over the years, the demon king has been relying on his influence to protect these little demons, and his prestige has remained high. Under the insistence of the black tortoise, the little demons of various tribes, although unwilling, could not resist the will of the demon king and retreated angrily.
"Big Wolf, please stay." Although Black Turtle was a bit of a loser as the demon king, he was very sensible when it came to big things.
Two human actors almost got into trouble on its territory, and it was impossible for it not to give an explanation to the outside world.
"Yes." If anything happened to the monster in his family, the king would definitely hold someone accountable. Wolf had expected this, but when he was actually left behind, he still felt very bitter.
The gift that I worked so hard to find did not receive the king's favor, and there were monsters in the tribe that held me back. It was really a pitfall for the monsters.
The little demons retreated one after another, and soon, only a few demons were left in the huge banquet hall.
Although they were guests, as maintainers of order, several of the Monster Bureau's regular monsters did not leave.
The demon king did not respond. Wolf hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Please calm down, my king. Wolf Mie went out some time ago and has not been with the tribe. He just came back recently to celebrate your birthday."
It doesn't know what happened in the end.
"It ate humans, didn't you find anything wrong?" The monsters ate humans and devoured their flesh and blood. Not only did their mental state change, but their bodies also emitted a unique fishy smell.
This abnormality can be noticed if you pay a little attention.
"My lord, we really didn't find anything!" Wolf swore and wished that the Demon King would use the soul-searching technique to prove his innocence.
The wolf demon had anxious eyes but a calm expression, and it didn't look like he was lying.
The black tortoise stared at it for a while, then dropped the topic: "Is there anything else wrong with it?"
Having temporarily escaped suspicion, the wolf heaved a sigh of relief and recalled, "It seems that it had made a few friends before. I heard that it went out this time to seek refuge with its friends."
Not long ago, Langmie suddenly came back, and they were curious and asked about his friends.
At that time, Langmie just said that the Demon King's birthday was important and didn't say much about his friends. Unexpectedly, when the time came, something big suddenly happened and almost killed their entire tribe.
After explaining everything he knew, the black tortoise waved his hand and told the monster to go away. The monster breathed a sigh of relief after surviving a disaster, and after paying its respects, it retreated in a hurry.
When leaving, under the disdainful look of Black Turtle, Lang Da took the initiative to drag away Lang Mie's body.
After such an incident, the wolf demon clan would definitely not bury Langmie's body properly.
"What do you think of this situation?" After Lang Da left, Xuan Gui asked Ning Su's opinion.
"There are a lot of surprises." Ning Su thought for a while and said.
If Wolf Mie's eating of people was an accident, then coming back at this critical juncture and happening to run into the two captured human actors was obviously too many coincidences.
In other words, if Ning Su and other monsters had not arrived in time, the death of the two actors would have been certain in a sense.
In any case, from the beginning to the end, it seemed that the events were heading in the direction of "making a big one".
"Call the tumbleweed monster." Xuangui understood Ning Su's analysis and sent the monster beside him to find the other monster involved in the incident.
"D-King."
When the demons of the Tumbleweed Demon heard that the Demon King had summoned them, they immediately stopped thinking. Their entire bodies were glowing with golden light, and they wished that their admiration would be written all over their faces.
Have their efforts finally been discovered?
With tears in his eyes, the Tumbleweed Monster rushed to the banquet hall. His mind was filled with beautiful pictures. At the same time, he was also thinking about how he would pretend to refuse if the king offered him an official position.
However, after entering the banquet hall, the Tumbleweed Monster discovered that the situation seemed different from what he had imagined - in the huge banquet hall, the atmosphere was actually a little stagnant.
"Whose advice did you follow in preparing this gift?"
This is to praise them for preparing the gifts well.
The tumbleweed demon lowered his head subtly: "As long as the king likes it."
Black Turtle: “?”
Realizing that what he said was still not straightforward enough, Black Turtle changed the question: "How do you know that I like these two human actresses?"
The king really liked the gifts they gave him!
Tumbleweed was flattered: "This is what we should do."
Although they encountered many setbacks along the way, they did it, which shows that human chicken soup is not wrong, and hard work will lead to success. Thinking of this, countless pride surged in the hearts of the tumbleweed monsters.
"I mean, who ordered you to capture these two human actresses?" The communication was inefficient and the black turtle was a little angry.
What! There is a demon trying to steal the credit?
The tumbleweed monster immediately became alert and lay on the ground: "Your Majesty, this idea was ours! If the king wants to reward us, it should be us."
At this moment, the Tumbleweed Monster finally stopped being humble and directly put his aspirations on the table.
Black Turtle: “…”
Tired.
After realizing that the tumbleweed monster really couldn't understand monster language, the black tortoise waved his hand and said, "Go away."
It really doesn't want to see this idiot anymore.
The tumbleweed monster came happily and left sadly. As it retreated, it couldn't help but look back every few steps.
King, I will give you one more chance. If you want a reward, just tell us. Don’t hesitate any longer.
However, even as the tumbleweed monster was about to leave the hall, the king still hadn't changed his mind. In the midst of great disappointment and sadness, the pine-nut-sized brain of the tumbleweed monster suddenly started to work.
Hey, there really seemed to be a voice telling them that the king liked human TV dramas.
It seems someone had said that these human actors would come here to film a show.
Who said that?
The Tumbleweed Monster thought for a while but couldn't remember anything, so he shook his head - forget it, it's not important.
Leaving the banquet hall, the tumbleweed monster's eyes became firm again. No matter what, they must win the king's favor.
Now, it must find the scheming demon who made false accusations to the king and tried to dilute their credit!
Having re-established his goal, the Tumbleweed Monster no longer looked depressed, but was now filled with energy.
"…What do you mean?" After the tumbleweed monster left, there was silence in the banquet hall for a while before the monster spoke again.
"The clue is broken." Having said this, Black Turtle was somewhat speechlessly anxious.
From beginning to end, it seemed as if there was a hand that was invisible and orchestrating everything. Moreover, all of this happened on its territory.
It vaguely smelled the scent of conspiracy behind it.
Black Turtle has always disliked the feeling of being out of control. This is why, although it is a big demon, it has been hiding in the small territory of Xiliang Demon Kingdom.
This conservative mentality protects it but also hinders its growth.
And now, this lingering anxiety appeared again - the black turtle wished he could shrink into his shell again and stick his head out again after this period of lows was over.
"Maybe it was just an accident." Just when the black turtle was getting anxious, his consciousness was scattered, and he was about to fall into negative emotions again, suddenly, a gentle and calm voice sounded beside him.
The black tortoise looked over subconsciously.
The young dragon king - or rather, dragon cub - actually looked at it with a very relaxed expression.
"Besides, nothing happened."
Ning Su didn’t know how to explain his logic, but to some extent, that’s what he thought.
If you keep thinking about negative things, you will never stop thinking about them.
Moreover, according to conspiracy theories, there are too many strange things about this incident.
In order to achieve the current goal, there seemed to be an invisible hand manipulating everything in every link - let alone the wolf demon and the tumbleweed demon, even the reason why this variety show was filmed in City X needed to be investigated carefully.
The doubts revealed in every link are enough to make them suspicious for a while.
But in other words, why should they do this?
No matter what the masterminds hiding behind the scenes who are trying to do evil think or plan, the reality at the moment is that they have successfully prevented bad things from happening.
The two actresses did not die, the black turtle was not framed as a suspect, and they even had a pleasant evening.
"If the wolf demon attacks people, you will stop it, right?" Seeing that the black turtle's eyes were blank and the demonic energy around it was a little unstable, Ning Su changed his angle and gave it chicken soup.
The black tortoise looked up and met Ning Su's gentle and kind gaze.
"Of course." said the black tortoise.
Is it such a frivolous demon? It loves human works of art, and to be exact, it also likes humans.
Thinking of this, the black turtle's somewhat scattered consciousness returned to the cage.
"That's good." Ning Su had inadvertently used his innate skills and said gently, "Look, even if there is a demon behind the scenes who wants to plot, it's not omnipotent, right?"
It's just like the evil demon didn't understand the black turtle and couldn't calculate the black turtle's affection for humans.
From this point of view, even if they did not arrive, the Black Turtle alone would be able to stop the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Hmph, do you still need me to tell you?" The black turtle realized belatedly that he was actually being comforted by a cub, and that was the dragon cub it hated the most. It couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"No matter what ghosts and monsters there are, they are all vulnerable in front of me, the Black Turtle!" The Black Turtle straightened his neck.
All the worries in his heart disappeared, and his mind became clear. Black Turtle exclaimed, "Huh?" and suddenly found that the bottleneck that had stuck him for several years was slightly loosening.
Thinking of this, the black turtle raised his head with some curiosity.
Over the years, he has vaguely realized his own problems, and his old friends have advised him, but to no avail.
But now, it inexplicably listened to the cub's words.
Could this be related to the cub's innate skills? Or is it pure fate between the two sides?
In any case, the opportunity for a breakthrough cannot be missed.
"Well, I'm going into seclusion!" Thinking of this, the black tortoise's mind moved, and he disappeared in an instant.
"?"
The reason why Ning Su acted as a confidant was that he didn't want the matter to look so negative, but he didn't expect that his advice would inadvertently help Xuangui overcome his inner demons.
"By the way, please help me deliver the gifts to them."
As Black Turtle finished speaking, three diamonds the size of a baby's fist appeared in Ning Su's hand. These diamonds were crystal clear, pure and transparent, and were obviously the treasures in Black Turtle's treasure house.
No, if this gift is given by a fan to an idol, wouldn’t it be a bit too exaggerated?
Before Ning Su could finish his complaints, another object was thrown at him.
"For you, little dragon!"
Once upon a time, after the black turtle was bullied by those hateful dragons, the other side would give compensation - either dragon scales, objects on their bodies, or good things in their treasure house.
But this group of old friends have disappeared for a long time, so long that it even misses them a little.
"Grow up well, little guy whose scales haven't even grown yet." After slipping away, the black turtle finally dared to tell the truth.
Before Ning Su could refute, he felt the "gift" thrown by the black turtle merge into his body. He inexplicably felt the strength in his body increase.
A strange yet familiar force flowed through his body. Ning Su felt a long-lost sense of security and couldn't help but close his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he began to feel an itch on his back, and then a pair of mini wings appeared.
"Isn't this too small?" Director Lin blurted out.
"Well, sorry." Under Ning Su's death gaze, the other party shut his mouth awkwardly.
Director Lin, who was still blindly happy at this time, didn't know that his nightmare was about to come -
Due to Black Turtle's retreat, the demons in the Xiliang Demon Kingdom were leaderless. According to Black Turtle's instructions before his retreat, the Demon Bureau temporarily took over the management of the Xiliang Demon Kingdom.
The Xiliang Demon Kingdom had perished long ago, but due to the existence of the Demon King Xuangui, it has been difficult to intervene in the demon situation.
Now that Black Turtle is willing to give up the dominant position, it is natural that the Demon Bureau will not refuse to take over.
It is said that upon hearing the good news, the leaders of the Monster Bureau were so happy that they couldn't sleep. They decided to personally lead the General Administration to set up a joint working group to handle matters concerning the Xiliang Monster Kingdom.
As a hero who made contributions in this case, Director Lin was not only promoted, but also was assigned important tasks as a member of the joint working group.
Soon after his promotion, Deputy Director Lin fell into the work hell of 007.
In this busy work, the only thing to be thankful for is that the General Administration allocated funds to pay the salaries of the demons in the Demon Bureau.
The strike for wages by the X Demon Bureau has finally come to a successful conclusion!
As another hero in this case, Ning Su was sent to the filming location of the "Impossible Journey" program just as he got used to his little wings.
In order to prevent the evil spirit from taking revenge on the two actresses, Ning Su needs to stay in the crew to protect their personal safety.
As a result, fans and station girls naturally took pictures of him, and the program team took the opportunity to make an official announcement.
On the day of the official announcement of joining the program, Ning Su held his phone, feeling a little embarrassed——
After the official Weibo welcomed him with warm words, he was also asked to edit a Weibo post to interact with the guests.
Ning Su got stuck when tagging the guest.
Between teachers Zhao Liang and Ling Minmin, who does he put in front?
Fortunately, he soon stopped worrying about this issue - the two teachers unexpectedly posted photos of the fan gifts on Weibo at the same time.
Two diamonds of identical color, material, and size.
Because the diamond is so rare, and the feud between the two actors is so exciting, this gimmick has made the variety show "Impossible Journey" popular in a way that no one can understand.
