"Oh, it's him. Is there a problem?"
Tao Le was initially angry, but then chuckled and said, "No problem. That guy is an extremely petty god. He's probably furious that you've obtained his divine power. But there's nothing we can do about it. That's how the Heavenly Way is. No matter how powerful he is, can he defy the Heavenly Way?"
"Does your grandmaster have a grudge against him?" An Ge asked cautiously.
Recalling the scene from back then, Yi Wenbai was also filled with hatred. He explained, "There was no great grudge. It was just that the two of them enhanced each other's divine power. One of them laughed for three days and three nights, and the other was infatuated with a man for three days."
An Ge was speechless; this grudge sounded quite deep. She had experienced her grandmaster's divine power before; even laughing for a short while was unbearable for her, let alone laughing for three days and three nights straight.
Tao Le was unconvinced. "I think Chu Ran is even worse off. I heard that he laughed so hard that the gods next door complained to the God Realm Alliance. The people in the alliance almost arrested him because they thought he was crazy. Haha, so embarrassing."
"You're not much better off, there's a reason you've been single forever," Yi Wenbai said, adding insult to injury.
"I'd like to."
"Saving face is a big deal! I can understand why my grandmaster dislikes him so much. But grandmaster, why do you grit your teeth when you mention him?"
Yi Wenbo sneered, "Because the object of your infatuation is me!"
An Ge was silent for a moment, then said, "I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of, so I'm leaving now." With that, she fled in a panic.
Lu Qingtian chuckled and said, "After Her Highness the Holy Maiden recovered her spiritual power, her personality became much more lively than before. Her body, which had been eroded by death energy, is feeling unwell again, so I need to go back and rest."
Jiang Shang quickly added, "I heard my in-laws are coming. I need to go and see how the preparations for their reception are going. Master and Lord Letian, I'll be going now."
When only the two of them remained, Tao Le sighed, "You didn't have to talk about these things. It's so awkward."
Yi Wenbo was no longer angry. He smiled at Tao Le and said, "Let them prepare themselves in advance."
"What should we prepare?"
Tao Le's question only elicited a soft chuckle from Yi Wenbai.
An Ge returned to the Saintess Palace and silently wiped away a cold sweat. Although her master had been angry when she spoke of Chu Ran, there was a hint of doting affection in her anger, and she seemed to have discovered something.
An Ge accepted this well; as a junior, it was none of her business to worry about the affairs of her elders. Besides, her grand-uncle Tao Le was a decent person.
As the competition drew near, more and more humans arrived in the capital. The newly built inns in the capital experienced a surge in customers.
Initially, the group had low expectations for the inn, given the limitations imposed by the demon realm, which restricted their efforts. However, seeing the novelties inside brought them some pleasant surprises. The inn's waiters, in particular, were exceptionally attentive, going to great lengths to meet their needs.
With such service, the inn's shortcomings are overlooked.
Someone couldn't help but ask the waiter, "Are all inns like this in your demon realm?"
The waiter chuckled, "How could that be? A year ago, we demons didn't even have an inn. All of this was requested by Her Highness the Holy Maiden. I heard that Her Highness used to run an inn, but she couldn't manage it for the time being because of the demons. But in two years, Her Highness will move the inn to the demon realm, where there will be even more novel things. Please come and support us then!"
This was the first time anyone had heard that the renowned Xuan Ge Zhenjun, who was famous throughout the cultivation world, used to run an inn. If the rumor hadn't been confirmed by the Holy Maiden herself, everyone would have thought it was a joke.
Everyone was eager to explore the inn that the Holy Maiden would open in the future. For them, the influence of True Monarch Xuange outweighed their curiosity about the inn; even if it was just an ordinary inn, as long as it was opened by Ange, they would never have to worry about customers.
But True Lord Xian Ge is so kind to the demons! Why has she never mentioned the inn in the human realm? That way, they could have gone and paid their respects. Ugh, those wretched demon gods! With so many demons to choose from, they insist on competing with humans for geniuses! Those human gods are utterly useless!
The Demon King also complained about his own gods. He had only stayed in the Demon Realm for two days, but he could already see the vitality and energy contained within the Demon Realm.
"You said there are demon gods, so is there also a demon god? I remember that the demon race has records of demon gods before. Why don't we have Xiaoge'er hold a sacrificial ceremony in the demon race? Maybe she can also win the favor of the demon god."
Feng Cai glanced at the Demon King with annoyance, "Don't be too greedy. Xiao Ge'er is already our daughter-in-law. Do you still want to entrust her with the task of building up the demon race? Xiao Ge'er has lost weight from exhaustion these days. It breaks my heart."
"I only meant to express the shamelessness of the demon race, I absolutely did not mean what you said," the Demon King quickly assured him.
"I don't know whether the Demon God exists or not, and I don't care. I don't believe you haven't seen how much the Demon Clan will benefit if Xiao Ge'er really develops the Demon Clan. Don't try to have everything." The Demon Clan's geographical location determines that once the Human Clan and the Demon Clan communicate, the Demon Clan will usher in a great opportunity for development.
"Hehe, I was wrong. Last time Xiao Ge mentioned that magic stone exchange business, I think it can be handed over to the demon race. I'll talk to Xiao Jiu about it now."
Hu Jiu wasn't surprised that his father had made the decision so early. "The divine descent is almost over. I'll discuss the follow-up matters with Lu Yan as soon as possible. If Xiao Ge'er does any business with the demon race in the future, remember to get their approval."
"Whose side are you on anyway?" The Demon King's heart, which had just been comforted by the Demon Queen, began to ache again. His daughter-in-law was worried about the Demon Clan, and the young master of the Demon Clan was also wholeheartedly devoted to the Demons. How could he, the Demon King, be so miserable?
"I'm on Xiaoge'er's side! Besides, Xiaoge'er wouldn't do anything to harm the demon race."
"Of course I know. The demons really hit the jackpot. Luckily you managed to snag Xiaoge'er. Let me tell you, once you get to the God Realm, you can't be nice to any of the other goddesses or goddesses. If you do anything to Xiaoge'er, I don't care if you're a god or a goddess, I won't let you off the hook."
Hu Jiu glanced at the Demon King and said irritably, "I think you should be more worried about your son. Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention the important matter. Little Ge'er suspects that the demon race also has demon gods. How much do you know about this?"
When the topic turned to business, the Demon King became serious. "The Demon God hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, and everyone thinks it's just a legend. However, the Demon God should exist; there are records of him in some royal ancient books. By the way, when you arrive in the Divine Realm, you can ask the Dragon God. Although the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are separate families, they are all demons, and are essentially the same."
Hu Jiu nodded. He didn't really care whether there was a demon god or not. However, Xiao Ge'er had said that the demon god was imprisoned; what about the demon god? Did he suffer the same fate?
Imprisoning gods sounds like something an evil god would do.
