Beneath the sacred tree, a spirited young woman, now clad in light armor, blinked. Her black silk ponytail was tied up, and she gripped a gun in her sleeves, the tip of which flashed with a dazzling golden light, ready to unleash an eight-fold critical strike at any moment.
The black fox boy, whom she considered "out of his mind" and suspected of being controlled by a demon, stood like a statue. Although his calm eyes had dimmed, they still exuded a sense of oppression.
"It shouldn't be a problem to touch it, right?"
Minnie asked suspiciously, reaching out her slender hand to touch the other person's cheek, and then pinching it.
Hmm, it feels nice, so soft I want to peel off this layer of fox fur...
Minise, who thought she had the situation under control, was quite indignant that a fox who was clearly a Gold Saint disguised as a newbie had taken advantage of her. She had misjudged this seemingly weak fox and actually believed her!
Within his body, a layer of pure, deep silver magical energy surged from his fingertips along his meridians, probing the novice demon king's unusual condition.
The scorching heat made Minnie's spirit and will tremble, as if she had disturbed a giant beast lurking in a sea of fire.
Before her eyes was an endless blazing fire, vast and boundless, sweeping across the heavens. With a sudden roar, a cluster of bright lightning descended from the sky, tearing the heavens apart and blasting away Minnie's spirit and will.
Minise: "..."
She abruptly pulled her finger back, revealing a bright red mark on her fair skin, burned by the flames, which made the girl's expression somewhat unnatural.
"There are many records of fire-wielding demons in books, and they are not hard to find. As far as I know, there are more than a dozen."
“Hatred, anger, hatred… but the demon kings under his name are all quite irritable and brave, and not good at scheming.”
"What puzzles me most is that if he has a demon god behind him, he should have extracted my demon god essence to strengthen himself after the Battle of Titan City. Even though he was injured after defeating that demon king, the gold-level combat power he exposed a few days ago shows that he has fully recovered, yet he still hasn't made a move. He's a really strange fox."
Minise rubbed the other's fox ears, picked him up with one hand, and her disguise was very good. If it weren't for the gluttonous demon king's bloodline rooted in her body, she might have been fooled.
Moreover, it will take several months to completely remove her demonic essence and remove this hidden bomb; it is by no means a simple matter.
"However, judging from his appearance, it shouldn't be a backup plan from the Gluttony Demon God, but more like he's receiving a blessing from the Demon God."
The girl pursed her lips, staring at Xiao Han's motionless figure, especially noticing the light emanating from his outstretched hand, which seemed to hold something valuable. She raised her hand...
Suddenly, a light flashed in his blood-red pupils, and Xiao Han, who had been frozen in place, moved slightly.
"Minise?"
Xiao Han quickly retrieved the strawberry seeds, looked around, and seeing no one nearby, he looked at the girl in front of him with suspicion. Hmm, she was holding a gun and aiming it, exuding murderous intent. He needed a reasonable explanation.
“These must be seeds.” Minnie blinked her beautiful eyes, opened her hand, and held out a handful of strawberry seeds, sparkling and shiny, like starlight adorning the night sky.
Xiao Han was immediately displeased. This was clearly a case of stealing his seed while he was exploring the River of Time.
It would be going too far not to leave him any offspring.
Do you know that for a gentleman, a seed is second only to life itself?
"There was no ominous aura of the abyss, nor any trace of magical energy; it was just a pile of ordinary seeds."
Minise glanced at him briefly, a glint of emerald light flashing in her beautiful eyes. She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead with her slender hand, looked at Xiao Han, who was filled with grief and indignation, and revealed a pitying look in her eyes: "Little fox, the demon god behind you doesn't care much about you."
Hey, what do you mean by this?
Xiao Han's lips twitched. Minis might have misunderstood the "orange tree" as a bridge for communication between the Demon King and the Demon God. After completing his mission, the novice Demon King, who was staying under the tree, would receive a reward from the Demon God through the "orange tree".
This is not hard to understand. The demon god bestows blessings, and the demon king wants to send resources back to the demon realm, so he needs to open a route to the abyss demon realm.
Oh, the evil god behind him who invested in him owns a magnificent and opulent temple rich in resources. It seems that he doesn't need to provide any resources in return.
However, to show my appreciation, please send me a few portions of roasted lamb next time; I should at least make a gesture.
"Hmm, Prime Minister, how long have I been spacing out?"
Xiao Han asked, "If Minnie, with whom I don't have a very good relationship, could come all this way, then my prank of simulating a statue under the tree must have alarmed quite a few people."
Consciousness explores the River of Time, where the flow of time is different from that in the real world.
Evelyn didn't tell him this clearly: one day inside could mean several years outside.
"long time."
Minnie retrieved the strawberry seeds, hesitated for a moment, and then replied.
The first to spot Xiao Han was Ba'e, the captain of the city patrol team. He immediately reported to Minise. At first, he thought Xiao Han was praying to the sacred tree, so he took his idle men to witness the city lord's wise and powerful act. At first, they were filled with awe and worship, and then they gradually became more and more respectful. They secretly sighed that the city lord was praying for the whole city without moving, and who knows, he might be brewing a divine art. No wonder he inherited the profession of a sage!
After watching the city lord for an hour, the crocodile finally noticed his unusual behavior. It immediately evacuated the people around the sacred tree and blocked the news. When Minise found out, she misled the people, spreading rumors that the city lord was performing a large-scale blessing spell to help everyone get through the impending winter disaster.
Fortunately, due to the busy city construction, most people only come to worship the sacred tree after they have finished their work.
"I see. Thank you for your help, Prime Minister."
