These words were obviously spoken to Ming Shuling, who was half asleep and half awake leaning against him.
"I'm not your free laborer, I'm... the Demon Lady, hehe."
Ming Shuling leaned close to Yan Quan's ear and whispered softly with a breath as sweet as orchid. After so many years of missing him, she finally saw him again. There was no way she would let this opportunity go.
"Shuling, your family and I have been friends for many years. I don't want to see you get implicated because of me. Why don't you..."
“Knock, knock.”
Just when Yan Quan was halfway through his words, there was a muffled knock on the door.
So he stopped his meaningless exhortation to Ming Shuling and sensed the visitor outside the door.
"Why doesn't your father come?"
Yan Quan transmitted the message, and the knocking outside the door stopped.
"Senior Yan, my family is not convenient to come here to see you, so they sent me to deliver the letter."
"Okay, come in."
Hearing that the voice coming was not the person he expected, Yan Quan felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he still asked the person outside to come in.
"I have long heard of your great name, Senior. I am Niu Shu, the eldest son of Niu Qingshan. I have come here today to deliver my message."
After the door opened, a naive young man walked in. The two horns on his head were very conspicuous.
"Sit down. It seems that this continent has a good relationship with the demon race. You don't even need to pretend?"
Yan Quan smiled and handed over a cup of tea.
“Yes, this is why we chose to settle in this continent.
However, it is not impossible to completely disguise myself. My family has always maintained a completely human form, but my cultivation is still in its infancy, so..."
Niu Shu sat down, scratched his head embarrassedly, and glanced at Ming Shuling who was leaning on Yan Quan many times.
He had lived with his relatives among the foreign races in the valley for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen a woman of such beauty, so he was deeply shocked in his heart.
"It's okay, it's okay. Since you're here, it means Senior Niu still remembers me. But he's unwilling to help me, so I guess he must be in some trouble."
"No, no, no, I'm happy to help Senior Yan.
But now more and more people from the demon world are coming to hunt us, so it is not convenient for him to leave Datian Valley. He sent me here to pass on a message, asking Senior Yan to find him."
When Niu Shu's wanton peeking was discovered by Ming Shuling and she glared at him fiercely, a deep sense of fear suddenly surged in his blood.
So he quickly stopped talking with cold sweat on his face, not daring to look at her even once.
"Great Sky Valley? Is there such a place in the Black Cloud Continent?"
Yan Quan asked in confusion. He had seen the map of the Black Cloud Continent many times and had no impression of this place.
“This place requires some special means to reach, which is why we have been able to survive until now by avoiding the pursuit of the Demon Emperor’s forces.
The method to get there is right here. Please accept it, Senior Yan. My mission will be accomplished."
Niu Shu said as he handed over a small bag. Yan Quan took it and put it away.
It’s better to open this thing later. He doesn’t want to provoke the Demon Emperor’s power.
"Didn't you say you were going to seek help from the great demon clan leader? Why are you still being hunted down?"
Yan Quan said lightly that Niu Shu had completed his mission and was still staying here, which meant that he had something else to do.
"This... this is a long story, but this is also why I personally want to ask Senior Yan to do us a favor!"
Niu Shu knelt down excitedly and bowed.
"What's the matter?"
Yan Quan asked with a frown. In his current situation, he couldn't be of much help at all, not to mention that they were from the demon world. He really didn't have any connections there.
"I, I accidentally heard last time that the Ninth Princess of the Fox King was an old friend of Senior Yan when I secretly visited the demon world.
Moreover, she has now been selected as a candidate for the Demon Emperor. As long as the current Demon Emperor passes away, she may become the new Demon Emperor.
So as long as you can come forward and ask Princess Yunxi for a favor on behalf of our Niu family, I think we will be able to return home soon. This is also the wish of my father.
Please, Senior Yan, help us with this!"
Seeing that Yan Quan was hesitant, Niu Shu quickly told him everything in one breath, and his tone seemed to imply that if we help you, you should also help us.
"Haha, this is a simple favor. I understand. After I go to Datian Valley to talk to Senior Niu, we can discuss the details."
After a moment of silence, Yan Quan put down the martial arts book and said with a chuckle, while Ming Shuling next to him gave him an unhappy look again.
But Yan Quan didn't have the heart to pay attention to this little girl at the moment.
The Ninth Princess of the Fox King?
Fortunately, I had already noticed that the little fox had a complicated background. If I had taken action, it would never have made it to the human world alive.
But what is the current situation of this Demon Emperor candidate? What is the level of cultivation of that little fox?
Looking at it this way, is it the end for me?
No, after all these years, she hasn't come to see me. Maybe she has let go of those boring grudges a long time ago?
And I really didn't leave any loopholes, so it must be difficult to find him in the human world, so I should... not worry too much.
For now, Ye Jinxuan still poses the biggest threat.
Because if he took a wrong step now, Master Ye would definitely come to settle old scores with him first. His fate could be compared to some acquaintances who had disappeared inexplicably before.
It was only recently that he saw the Heavenly Demon Sect's past mission data and realized how tragically they died...
Well, let’s not worry about Hu Yunxi’s matter for now.
