The man looked completely unconcerned: "I'm a demon, not as delicate as you humans. A few spicy snacks won't affect me at all."
Seeing his response, Chu Yu could only shrug and say, "Fine, whatever you say."
She looked at the wounds on his body and asked, "I have some medicine in my storage bag. Shall I help you apply it to your wounds?"
She had just saved his life, but she didn't want him to die soon due to the severity of his injuries.
The man shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Your medicine won't work on me. The wounds on my body were caused by a particularly vicious curse from the Demon Realm. If the curse cannot be broken, no matter what medicine I use, the wounds will not heal."
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat: "What a vicious curse! You're so badly injured, you won't last long."
The man gave a bitter smile: "Yes, I won't last much longer. I just wanted to eat something delicious and reminisce about the good times before I die, so that I wouldn't die with too much regret."
Chu Yu's eyes darkened; this person was actually quite pitiful.
The man quickly finished the three bags of spicy strips, then looked at Chu Yu expectantly and asked, "Is there any more?"
Chu Yu shook her head: "That's all, that's all I brought."
The man said somewhat disappointedly, "Okay."
He took a black bead out of his pocket and handed it to her: "I have a magic bead here that's five thousand years old. Do you think it can cover the cost of this?"
Chu Yu was full of surprise. A five-thousand-year-old magic pearl was an extremely valuable treasure in the human world.
She remembered that three years ago, someone in the metaphysical world sold a 4,000-year-old magic bead for 100 million, which attracted many big shots to compete for it.
This 5,000-year-old magic pearl must be worth at least tens of millions.
Although she was incredibly tempted, Chu Yu maintained her professional ethics and reminded him, "This magic bead is too valuable; it's a treasure. The cost of the spicy strips and delivery doesn't need to be that much. Just give me four thousand magic coins."
The exchange rate between magic coins and human currency is one to one, meaning one magic coin can be exchanged for one dollar.
Crossing over to food delivery requires consuming some spiritual energy, carries a high risk factor, and is much more expensive than regular food delivery.
The man didn't care and simply threw the magic bead at her: "I don't have any magic coins on me, only this magic bead. Although magic beads are precious, there are plenty in the Demon Palace. You went through a lot of trouble to cross from the human world to the demon world and risked great danger to bring me spicy strips, so it's only right that I give you a magic bead. Besides, you saved me, so I owe you a favor. Please accept this magic bead."
Seeing his insistence, Chu Yu had no choice but to accept the magic pearl.
She held the magic bead in her palm and examined it carefully.
The magic bead is the size of an egg, pure black, and exudes an extremely strong spiritual energy.
She was extremely excited.
I never expected that a trip to the Demon Realm would yield a Demon Pearl worth hundreds of millions. I've made a fortune!
Chu Yu put the magic bead back into his Qiankun bag. Now that the money and goods were exchanged, the order was considered complete.
She instructed the man, "I can't stay in the Demon Realm for too long. I have to go. You're so badly injured. Why don't you contact your friend and ask him to come and help you?"
The man sighed sadly and said resentfully, "The curse on me was cast by my best friend. Now I am abandoned by everyone and all alone. No one is willing to come and save me. I can only lie here quietly and wait to die."
His face was filled with sorrow.
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow; this person was really pitiful.
Considering he gave her the magic orb, she decided to do her best to help him.
She took out a bottle of quick-rescue pills from her storage bag and placed it next to him, explaining, "I can't help you break the curse on you, nor can I help you much, but I have a bottle of quick-rescue pills here with ten pills in it. They can extend your life for a while longer. During this time, try to save yourself."
The man looked at the bottle of quick-relief pills, somewhat moved, and said with emotion, "Thank you. I never expected that when I was in dire straits, the person willing to help me would be a complete stranger, a little human girl."
Chu Yu said in a deep voice, "It is fate that we met. I hope you can overcome this calamity."
She took out some snacks, bread, and bottled water that she had stored in her storage bag and placed them in front of him: "These are some food and water that I brought with me. You can have them all."
Okay, thank you.
The man thanked him gratefully.
"Then I'm leaving, goodbye."
She waved to the man and turned to leave.
The man watched her leave, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly called out to her, "Wait a minute."
Chu Yu paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
After looking her up and down, the man asked, "Are you a metaphysician from the mortal realm?"
Chu Yu nodded.
With a hint of expectation, the man asked her, "Can you do me a favor?"
Chu Yu asked, "What is it?"
The man looked into the distance, his gaze deep, and said, "Go to the Demon Palace and steal the Demon Egg."
Chu Yu was startled: "Going to the Demon Palace to steal the Demon Egg, that's not a good idea. It's beyond my scope of business, and I'm afraid I can't help you."
Knowing she would refuse, the man sighed helplessly, with a hint of despair, and explained, "To be honest, I am the Demon Lord Chonghua, and I have ruled the Demon Realm for thousands of years."
A year ago, at a crucial moment when I was in seclusion cultivating my spiritual power, the Left Wise King suddenly broke into the forbidden area with his men, injured me, and then imprisoned me, torturing me day and night. Later, a dozen loyal subordinates rescued me from prison. During the escape, all of them died. After wandering alone for a while, I secretly came here and hid in this bat cave, barely surviving.
Chu Yu was utterly shocked.
Holy crap! He's actually the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
She thought he was a bat spirit, but she never expected him to be the ruler of the demon realm, and in such a miserable state.
Demon Lord Chonghua continued, "I have a child, still in the form of a demon egg, which has not yet hatched. I have been raising the demon egg for 300 years. According to the plan, it will hatch soon. But I did not expect to suffer such a disaster, and the demon egg has also been controlled by the Left Wise King."
The Left Wise King will definitely find a way to destroy the Demon Egg. Now that my life is hanging by a thread, the hope of the Demon Realm rests on that Demon Egg. That Demon Egg is also the Demon Lord's only bloodline. If it is destroyed, the Demon Lord's bloodline will be cut off.
"I have no one left to rely on. I had no other choice but to ask you to steal that demon egg. If it had been any later, the egg might have been lost."
After saying that, his eyes welled up with tears of sadness.
Chu Yu broke out in a cold sweat; he hadn't expected such a big thing to happen in the Demon Realm.
She said with some helplessness, "Although I am a metaphysician in the human world, my strength is far inferior to that of the experts in the demon realm, especially the Left Wise King and his group. If you ask me to go to the demon palace to steal demon eggs, I'll probably be discovered and silenced by the experts before I even get there."
Demon Lord Chonghua comforted her: "I will give you a teleportation token. That token can teleport you to the Demon Palace, where you can move freely without any obstacles."
I'll teach you another hypnotic spell. After you find the demon egg, recite the incantation, and all the guards will fall into a coma. Then, take the egg and leave the demon palace for the human world.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu's brow twitched, and she asked in surprise, "You want me to bring the demon egg to the human world?"
