In a corridor where all the rooms have open doors, the only room with a closed door could not fail to attract other people's attention. Xiao Tangqiu looked at the black door in front of him with an inquiring gaze. Even with his keen sense of magic, he could not sense what was special about this door.
This room was the only room in this corridor with a closed door, which in itself was enough to arouse his curiosity. Moreover, Shen Yuan had just told him not to go in... This was clearly tempting him to go in and take a look.
Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to go forward and open the door.
Xiao Tangqiu was mentally prepared for everything, prepared to see any cruel, terrifying and weird scenes behind this black door... However, he twisted the doorknob hard, but found that it would not open.
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
This is embarrassing.
He twisted it a few more times before he was sure the room was locked.
——It turns out that this door is locked.
Xiao Tangqiu was at a loss for words. He finally mustered up the courage to open the door, only to find it locked. It was like punching cotton! He had just spent a long while preparing himself mentally.
He was in a very depressed mood. Since the door was already locked, why did Shen Yuan just repeatedly tell him not to enter this room? If he didn't have the key, he couldn't get in at all!
Could it be that the devil was deliberately playing tricks on him? He knew he couldn't get in, but he still deliberately aroused his curiosity, making it so he could see but not touch?
……etc.
key?
Xiao Tangqiu instantly remembered the golden keys all over the floor of the treasure room. He turned around and ran into the treasure room without hesitation... No matter whether those golden keys were real keys or not, he decided to give them a try first!
A moment later, Xiao Tangqiu returned to the treasure room according to the route he remembered. Looking at the pile of gold coins and the golden keys mixed in with them, he couldn't help but sigh... It would be a death sentence for him to find the real key from so many golden keys!
...Then he resigned himself to looking for the key.
He didn't know how long he had been searching. He was a little dizzy at the end, and he couldn't find all the golden keys. He could only try all the golden keys he could find one by one. As a result, he tried one after another, but none of them could open the black door.
It was almost dawn, and Xiao Tangqiu didn't dare to look for the key under Shen Yuan's nose. He could only mix all the golden keys he had tried in a pile of gold coins. He planned to come here again to look for the key tonight... if the big devil still didn't kill him today.
He had just hidden the golden keys when Shen Yuan's voice rang out from behind him: "It seems you like my treasure very much."
Xiao Tangqiu felt a chill on his back, almost thinking he had been exposed. He slowly turned around, trying to make his expression look more natural: "Yes, I particularly like gold and silver jewelry...so I slept here last night."
Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu with a half-smile: "Oh? Is that so?"
Xiao Tangqiu tried to tighten his expression: "Yes, I slept here last night."
Shen Yuan smiled softly: "Did you go to the room at the end of the corridor yesterday?"
Xiao Tangqiu felt a chill on his back again, but he still shook his head and said, "Of course not..."
Shen Yuan stared closely into Xiao Tangqiu's eyes. After a moment, he smiled softly, "That's good."
Xiao Tangqiu didn't know whether Shen Yuan really believed it or not, but if the big devil wanted to kill him, he would not be able to escape at all, and could only grit his teeth and watch Shen Yuan.
"We didn't finish touring my palace yesterday, did we? I'll continue to show you around today..." Shen Yuan seemed to really believe Xiao Tangqiu's words. He no longer mentioned the room at the end of the corridor, but instead changed the subject, "Let's go have breakfast first, and then continue to tour my palace."
Xiao Tangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, yet a sense of trepidation lingered. What was the Great Demon King planning? Why didn't he kill him, but instead took him on a tour of the palace? Was the Great Demon King incredibly pleased with his palace, but with no one to show it off to, planning to show him off before killing him?
