"Xiaobai, it's over. We're in big trouble." Gu Qingxi whispered to Bai Ze in her arms.
The Tree of Life that has stood in the demon world for tens of thousands of years was directly sucked dry by Xiaobai.
Bai Ze raised his head twice, and no one knew what he wanted to express. Then he jumped down from Gu Qingxi's arms, walked to the already dim and withered Tree of Life, and stomped his feet lightly.
The Demon King and Gu Qingxi looked at Bai Ze's actions in confusion.
The next moment, two white lights slowly rose from the bottom of the Tree of Life.
Bai Ze's little head shook, and the two white lights flew directly towards Gu Qingxi, who reached out to catch them.
Gu Qingxi looked down at the thing in his hand, which was two round, glowing seeds.
"What is this?" Gu Qingxi touched the seeds in his hand and asked in confusion.
The demon king came over and after seeing what Gu Qingxi was holding, he began to tremble with excitement. He had a look of despair on his face just now, but now his face was flushed with excitement. He even stuttered: "This, this is the seeds of the Tree of Life! And, there are, there are two! The seeds of the legendary Tree of Life!"
Gu Qingxi was also excited when he heard this.
Seeds!
They can be planted and grow again!
If one Tree of Life is gone, two can grow again!
After Gu Qingxi handed the seeds to the demon king, she touched Bai Ze's little head and almost burst into tears. My son, we don't have to pay for our lives!
"However, it will take at least a hundred years for them to sprout and five hundred years for them to grow up." The demon king continued.
Gu Qingxi's tears froze in her eyes.
So, she still has to pay, right?
"Alas..." The demon king sighed, looking depressed, his voice low and weak, "I can't blame you. You told me that this was Bai Ze's egg, but I didn't believe it. I urged you to put it down. It's all my fault. Everything is my own problem, and it has nothing to do with you. Six hundred years, I can still wait. Just wait for the seeds to take root and sprout slowly, just wait slowly."
Gu Qingxi felt even worse when she heard this. She said weakly: "Your Majesty, then, if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best." She could only think of ways to make up for it. Who let her own child suck the tree of life dry?
"Yes, yes! You sit in the demon world for a month and treat the injuries of our demons. Of course, it's not a free clinic. You can charge whatever you want. A bunch of demons will practice with you, and you can also make money. How about it?" The demon king immediately said a lot impatiently.
Gu Qingxi: "..." Why did she feel that the demon king had already thought about asking her to sit in the clinic? These words were so smooth and impatient. It was hard not to let her think so.
But her Bai Ze did suck the tree of life dry. Even if there are seeds of the tree of life, they belong to him. Besides, he still has to wait for another 600 years, so he should pay compensation.
However, the matter of refining the golden elixir has to be postponed again.
"Then I will start seeing patients from tomorrow." Gu Qingxi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, it happens to be the Ten Thousand Demons Festival, and many demons will come to the imperial capital. There are also many generals who have left many hidden diseases in the previous battles. It all depends on you!" The demon king looked at Gu Qingxi with shining eyes and said sincerely.
Gu Qingxi: "..." She suddenly understood why the master did not tell them to go to see the demon king, their former best friend, before she and the fifth senior brother left.
The demon king has a lot of routines. But it is reasonable and will not make people feel uncomfortable.
So, as expected, the old ginger is still spicy?
After returning to the demon king's study again, it was already an hour later.
The demon king wanted to keep Gu Qingxi in the palace for dinner, but Gu Qingxi declined.
After Bai Ze hatched, she wanted to go back to check Bai Ze's body. Qin Hanliang said that Bai Ze was injured and needed treatment.
"Then I won't keep you. Come to the competition venue early tomorrow to start the consultation." The demon king said happily.
Gu Qingxi: "..."
Gu Qingxi was about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly remembered something. She asked: "Your Majesty, do you know about the ambition of King Fu to... that you?"
The ancestor of Wanling almost laughed out loud. The little devil's words were too implicit. There was ambiguity in what he said.
What's wrong with saying "replace" directly? The demon world is different from the human world. Saying it directly will not make the demon king feel disrespectful.
The demon king was also silent for a while, and said: "You can just say that he wants to usurp the throne and replace me. I don't mind being straightforward."
"So, you know about this?" Gu Qingxi was a little surprised.
"Yes, I know." The demon king shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Your Majesty has already taken precautions?" After hearing this, Gu Qingxi was finally able to put her worries to rest. Come to think of it, he is the demon king after all, how could he not have any precautions?
"No." As a result, the next moment, the demon king said confidently.
A big question mark slowly appeared above Gu Qingxi's head. Did she hear it wrong?
Seeing Gu Qingxi's puzzled expression, the demon king laughed and explained to Gu Qingxi, but he didn't expect that the demon king would complain angrily:
"If Prince Fu wants to be the demon king, then he can be the demon king.
Only when you really sit in this position, you will know how annoying and tiring it is.
The demon race is not as easy to manage as the human race.
Many big demons, when you tell them that they should pay taxes, they say they have no money, and then they tell me that they can use their shed skins or replaced fur to pay the taxes. It's so shameless! Many small demons
ask them to pay taxes, but they directly change into their original forms, go into the mountains and forests, and hide for a year or two.
Sometimes when they go to court to discuss things, do you think the demon race will debate in a flowery way like humans, or make indirect remarks ? Are you sarcasm?
No, they just fight over a disagreement.
My palace needs to be repaired seven or eight times in ten years.
Do you think the money for the repairs is all paid by the big monsters?
No! They pay with their shed skins, furs, horns, etc.! They are just a bunch of shameless hooligans!
There are a lot of shed skins or furs of big monsters in the treasury now.
Oh, if you are interested, you can pick some later. If you want all of them, you have to give me some money.
Don't look at me as a monster king, I am very poor.
The enfeoffment of the princes back then basically emptied the foundation.
The Monster Kingdom is really difficult to manage. I work so hard but still can’t get any satisfaction.
And that national teacher has a cold face all day long. I have to smile no matter what I ask her to do.
Am I the Monster King or is she the Monster King! I don’t know where she has disappeared to now, but that’s good. Out of sight, out of mind.
You have also seen my palace today. The chief steward must have told you that I don’t value enjoyment. Do
you think I don’t value enjoyment? I’m poor!
I have to calculate every penny I spend.
Whoever wants to be the Monster King can be it.”
Gu Qingxi was stunned after hearing this.
So being a Monster King is so hard?
