After parting with Yan Baibai, Huo Feng returned to his own courtyard. Normally at this time, he should have taken out the storybook he had not finished reading and studied it carefully, but today he could not concentrate at all. He stayed in the courtyard for less than a quarter of an hour, and finally went out and headed straight for the Demon Palace.
Because Huo Feng was a popular figure around Mo Li, the demon soldiers guarding the palace gate all knew him. When they saw Huo Feng rushing over in a hurry, they just saluted him respectfully.
"General Huofeng, do you have something urgent to report to the king?" The leading demon soldier symbolically checked Huofeng's identity jade card, then bowed and handed the jade card to Huofeng.
"Well, this is really great news!" Huo Feng took the jade token and quickly rushed into the Demon Palace in a good mood. If the use of magic was not prohibited in the Demon Palace, he would have transformed back into his true form of a phoenix and rushed straight to the main hall!
Having been in the Demon Realm for more than two years, Huo Feng knew that Mo Li should still be in the meeting hall at this time. He rushed straight over and saw that the hall was brightly lit.
Huo Feng's journey was smooth until he was stopped at the main hall entrance. He said anxiously and mysteriously, "Go and inform the king. I, Huo Feng, have something important to report!"
Along the way, Huo Feng was thinking about what kind of expression Mo Li would have when he knew that the human girl was looking for him. Huo Feng had seen many such scenes of male and female protagonists reuniting after a long separation in storybooks. When he thought that he could see it in real life and that he played an important role in matchmaking, the whole demon was so excited that his face flushed.
When the young eunuch at the door saw Huo Feng's appearance, although he didn't think that this mentally ill demon general would have anything serious to do, he still nodded respectfully, then walked into the hall carefully and quietly reported the news to the eunuch chief.
"Important?" The eunuch Mo Dafu asked uncertainly in a low voice after hearing the news, "Did he really say that?"
The young eunuch lowered his body again and again and nodded confidently: "Yes, it seems to be something good. The general's face looks anxious and excited."
"So..." Mo Dafu's eyes flashed. As the chief eunuch of the Demon Palace and the person who spent the most time with the Demon King in the Demon Palace, he could clearly feel that the Demon King's mood had been getting worse and worse recently.
The Demon King never showed his emotions in front of the ministers, but recently he could feel the changes in the Demon King's mood, which showed that the Demon King was in extreme inner torment. He was deeply afraid that one day the Demon King would not be able to bear it anymore and would explode. At that time, the first ones to lose their lives would be them, the slaves.
During this period, even the ministers were very cautious when they came to see the Demon King, and the eunuchs were naturally very nervous while doing their job. Mo Dafu's biggest hope now was that this demon general would bring good news that would make the king happy, so that at least everyone could take a break.
"Alright, go to the door and steady the demon general. I'll go ask the king."
Even though he thought so in his heart, Mo Dafu didn't dare to bring Hu Feng in without asking Mo Li.
After sending the young eunuch away, Mo Dafu took a deep breath quietly, then lowered his body and turned a few corners before he saw Mo Li, who was frowning and looking at the jade slip in his hand. The hall was as bright as day, but it was shrouded in the pressure that Mo Li inadvertently released. The young eunuchs on both sides of the hall lowered their heads, and their feet hidden under their wide robes were trembling. Fine beads of sweat seeped out of the foreheads and temples of many eunuchs, but no one dared to raise their hands to wipe them.
Mo Dafu sighed inwardly, calmed himself, and then slowly came to the table and stood still. He noticed Mo Li put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at him. His skin tightened. He didn't dare to look up to see Mo Li's eyes, but lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty, General Huo is in the outer hall requesting an audience."
Mo Li threw the jade slip in his hand back onto the table. The jade slip fell among a pile of jade slips on the table with a crisp sound. The eunuchs serving in the hall all felt weak in their legs, but they all stood firm again.
Mo Dafu's scalp was also frightened by the sound. After waiting for a few breaths, he finally dared to raise his eyelids. He saw Mo Li picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip. He didn't mean to call anyone in. He was secretly anxious, but still didn't dare to say anything.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Mo Li's slightly frown finally relaxed a little. He looked up in the direction of the outer hall, reached out and picked up the jade slip that had just been thrown away. As if he had made up his mind, he picked up the pen placed aside and began to tap on the jade slip.
A quarter of an hour later, Mo Li put down his pen and jade slips, then looked back at Mo Dafu who was still standing beside him and asked, "Did Huo Feng say what he wanted to report?"
Huo Feng had followed him for so long, Mo Li knew that he was a person with an erratic personality. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but recently he had been worrying about how to capture Yan Baibai and bring him to the Demon Realm, so he was not in the mood to listen to Huo Feng talking about trivial matters.
Mo Li admitted that he had agreed to let Yan Baibai go and do what she wanted to do, but for such a difficult task as saving the world, success would be all good, but if he failed, he didn't want to watch her disappear with those worlds. He wanted to bring her to his side, at least he was sure that he could preserve the Demon Realm for another thousand years.
"General Huo said it was an important matter..." Mo Dafu raised his eyelids slightly to observe Mo Li with the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Mo Li frowned slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a good thing."
"Oh?" This gave him a good idea, and Mo Li's mood improved. After thinking about it, he said, "Ask him in."
Mo Dafu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went out immediately, and soon led Huo Feng into the inner hall.
"Master, guess what good news I have for you?" The blush on Huo Feng's face had not faded yet, and the corners of his mouth were still strangely hooked, but he wanted to keep it a secret in front of Mo Li, so he tried hard to maintain a mysterious and serious expression, which made the whole demon look a little weird and funny.
