"Leave the palace?" The Demon Lord frowned.
Zuan explained, “If the Lord is in the palace, no matter what I do, it seems unlikely that I can successfully help Salami rescue Moghad. Even if I do manage to rescue them, Salami and Moghad will definitely suspect that the Lord deliberately let them go, and then they will suspect me.”
“But if the Lord happened to be out of the palace when they rescued Moghad, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to help Salame rescue Moghad.”
The Demon Lord grinned: "Not bad, you've thought things through quite thoroughly. So, when do you think I should leave?"
Zu An thought for a moment and said, "How about the night after tomorrow?"
The Demon Lord nodded slightly: "That's good. It's not too late, and it won't arouse Salami's suspicion too quickly. Let's do it the night after tomorrow."
“Thank you for your permission, Lord.” Zuan then tentatively asked, “What should I do after you have arranged for me to gain the trust of Salame’s side?”
"As I've already said, I'll help them rescue the Lord of Slaughter. As for what happens next, I'll let you know when the time comes," the Demon Lord said calmly.
"yes!"
Zuan grew increasingly suspicious, but he couldn't show it.
Back in the True Demon Clan's cave, the women all breathed a sigh of relief: "Our ancestor was indeed incredibly resourceful; we have returned safely."
"It was just luck. I still don't know what the Demon Lord is planning, which gives me a vague sense of unease." Zu'an showed no sign of smugness.
Yun Yuqing asked doubtfully, "Now that both the Demon Lord and Salami trust you, it will be easier for them to cooperate and complete their tasks. Isn't that a good thing?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "This is just a temporary illusion. If we don't know what the Demon Lord is planning, once he takes action, the situation will probably be difficult to reverse."
Pei Mianman comforted him, "Azu, don't worry too much. It's not surprising that we can't find out about this because we don't have enough information right now. Besides, you are now the true prince of the demon race. The enemy in the eyes of the Demon Lord is definitely the Lord of Slaughter. Why would Salami or the Doomsday Beast take you seriously? This will actually make you safer."
Jiang Luofu also said, "That's right, your Myriad Transformations Technique is truly amazing. Even we close friends can't see through it. How could the Lord of Demons possibly see through it? You've been too tense lately. You need to relax a bit and not keep things so tight."
"I hope so." Zuan also felt that he had been under a lot of tension lately. If he continued to maintain this state, it would be very exhausting and mentally draining, and in the long run, it would make his thinking more sluggish.
Ji Xiaoxi then volunteered, "Brother Zu, let me massage your head."
As she spoke, she came up behind Zu An and gently massaged his temples with her slender fingers. She was originally a little miracle doctor, proficient in healing techniques, and now that she cared so much about Zu An, she was naturally very dedicated.
A faint white light emanated from his fingers, and Zu An immediately felt two cool sensations gradually spreading through his mind, significantly relieving his fatigue.
Seeing this, Yun Yuqing thought to herself that she had to secretly find an opportunity to have Xiaoxi teach her how to massage Azu in private.
Pei Mianman blushed slightly, thinking that if there were only two of them, she could let Azu lie on her chest, as he loved being pressed like that by her.
But now, only Xiao Xi is close to him without it seeming abrupt, which is really annoying.
Her gaze fell on Ji Xiaoxi's chest, which was rather flat compared to her own, and she felt a little better.
However, she immediately felt ashamed of such thoughts...
Xie Daoyun glanced at Ji Xiaoxi with envy. Although she and Brother Zu had gone through many hardships together and even become intimate, there always seemed to be something inexplicable between them. It was difficult for her to get along with him as naturally as Xiaoxi did.
Soren Shi had already calmed down these days. These girls all had close relationships with Brother Zu, while she was just a slightly familiar friend in comparison. She sighed slightly, and then her mind returned to the main topic: "Brother Zu, should we inform Salame of the time?"
"No rush. If I tell her I've dealt with the Demon Lord so quickly, she'll definitely be suspicious. Let her wait a couple of days," Zu'an said calmly.
He quickly opened his eyes and asked everyone, "How well did you all learn from those jade slips?"
Pei Mianman said somewhat dejectedly, "It's like reading a book written in heaven; only Daoyun and Xiaoxi can understand it."
Jiang Luofu was also somewhat frustrated at this moment. She had always prided herself on being well-read, but the knowledge of formations recorded in this world was too profound for her to understand. As for pharmacopoeias, she was not familiar with various medicinal herbs, so reading them would be a waste of time.
Ji Xiaoxi said excitedly, "With these systematic pharmacopoeias, I believe that after a period of time, we should be able to refine poison pills that can deal with the demons of this world."
Zuan couldn't help but smile and pinched her delicate cheek: "Xiao Xi is really amazing."
Xie Daoyun said quietly, "Actually, I didn't understand many parts of it. No, I should say I understood almost nothing at all. The array knowledge recorded here is completely different from what I learned before. If my intuition hadn't told me that this was a very mysterious book, I would have suspected that Salami deliberately gave you a fake one."
"Oh? Let me take a look." Zu An was taken aback. He knew that Xie Daoyun's expertise in rune formations was already quite high, especially since he had previously taught her some knowledge of formations from the "Baopu Zhenjing". She had even surpassed her teacher in this regard.
After all, he was originally dedicated to this field, while he had to be distracted by various other areas.
