[Waaaaah, sister, I'll go back and conjure up a hundred million divine coins for you, but I really can't do magic coins.] "I suggest we hold another contest for 'Most Useless System,' and you'll definitely be number one."
The system whimpered and dared not refute.
Chu Xin thought for a while. If this energy couldn't be converted into cash, then it could be converted into something else to sell.
For example, "the fragrance of peach blossoms"...
Sister, are you annoyed that the Demon Lord can't find you?
Chu Xinxin suggested a few more things, but the system rejected them all.
Just like you can't eat demon food, the items you get from exchanging energy are only useful to humans and gods.
Chu Xinxin: "...How much energy would it take to get me a female protagonist system?"
[I can't do it even if I whine...]
......
On the other side, Nan Guangyu searched all over Shanghai and along the official road from Shanghai to the border, but could not find Chu Xinxin.
The more frustrated I felt, the worse it got.
The agreed-upon time for the exchange of "money" and "goods" with the gods had long passed, yet he kept delaying it.
"Demon Lord, heavy troops have been deployed to guard all the roads leading to the God Clan. Not even a mosquito can get out. Strict checks are being conducted on all border cities, but no trace of the Goddess has been found."
My subordinate has come to report.
Nan Guangyu looked at the map in his tent. The map was marked with red triangles, which represented heavily guarded intersections.
As he looked around, he noticed the woods next to him.
Nan Guangyu: "We also need to station people on those nameless paths..."
"yes!"
"Wait a moment."
Nan Guangyu suddenly realized that Chu Xinxin was a cunning and mischievous person. What if she knew that even the back paths were guarded? She wouldn't leave, but would hide in the shadows and wait for years or even decades. Over such a long period, the guards would definitely become lax, and then she would sneak back...
Not to mention that she seems to have some kind of "system" that she doesn't even know the exact nature of.
"The main path will proceed as usual, but the minor path will send people to guard this matter and not allow a single word to be leaked."
After finishing his sentence, Nan Guangyu added, "If you find the goddess, do not harm her."
The subordinate accepted the order and left.
Nan Guangyu couldn't stay in the tent any longer. His men were too slow, so after thinking it over, he got up and went to search for them himself.
He traversed the endless border in just two days; if word got out, it would surely shock the entire prehistoric world.
The demon race also has a barrier, and Nan Guangyu examined it carefully and found that the barrier was not damaged.
This proves that Chu Xinxin is still in the Demon Clan.
Nan Guangyu lowered his head in thought.
She wants to return to the gods and will definitely come to the border.
There are only a few small towns along the border, so where are they hiding?
......
While Nan Guangyu was searching intensely for Chu Xinxin, Chu Xinxin was also finding great success working in the small town.
Where did we leave off last time?
Dressed as a male demon, Chu Xinxin sat in the center of the teahouse, waving a tattered fan she had picked up from somewhere, looking every bit like a storyteller.
"Master, Master, you said that Xiao Zhen was tricked by the Demon Lord's Demon Queen, gave birth to a witch, and then escaped from the Demon Palace!"
A female demon who looked like an old woman said.
Chu Xinxin nodded: "Oh right, I remember now, so this time we'll talk about Xiao Zhen's experience outside the Demon Palace..."
The Demon Lord, who was frantically searching for Chu Xinxin, happened to pass by this teahouse.
He glanced around when he came in, didn't see anyone, and was about to leave.
But as soon as I turned around, I heard someone say it was me.
"Demon Lord"? "Empress"? "Witch"?
Can someone tell him when he got a wife and children?
It sounds like there's more than one! Nan Guangyu's handsome phoenix eyes swept sharply over, and he was about to kill this little bastard who was spreading rumors when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the storyteller.
She has a slender waist and wrists, and two small ear piercings below her earlobes...
Most importantly, those bright, sparkling peach blossom eyes—
Nan Guangyu secretly probed with his demonic energy and, sure enough, it was Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin was surrounded by a large group of people.
She didn't even notice Nan Guangyu coming in, and continued talking with great interest.
"Xiao Zhen was banished to Lingmou Peak, the most desolate place on the outskirts of Beijing, while her family was exiled to Villain Island..."
Chu Xinxin sighed and continued, "You know about Evil Island, right? It's the most vicious and ruthless place in the demon realm. Xiao Zhen's sister was almost raped by a lecherous demon, and her father suffered very serious internal injuries and is on the verge of death..."
Xiao Zhen's life wasn't easy either. The others on the mountain, under the orders of the Demon Queen, constantly bullied her, giving her the hardest and most arduous tasks. Xiao Zhen fell ill and was injured; in short, her family suffered terribly.
Most of the people present were women, children, and young kids, and they all looked distressed upon hearing this.
"At this time, the Demon Lord's younger brother, the Demon King, appeared. He punished the henchmen who bullied Xiao Zhen's family and often went to Lingmou Peak to help Xiao Zhen. Over time, the two developed feelings for each other..."
A hoarse male voice from upstairs interrupted Chu Xinxin: "Nonsense! The Demon Lord was born of nature and has no younger brother, nor has he established an empress."
Chu Xinxin wasn't annoyed by the interruption: "Esteemed guest, are you the Demon Lord?"
Silence fell over the upstairs.
"If that's not the case, then how do you know that what I'm saying isn't true?" Chu Xinxin said calmly.
The person upstairs said, "This is common knowledge."
"No, no." Chu Xinxin shook her finger. "This is just what the Demon Lord wants you to know. In fact, all three thousand beautiful female demons in the Demon Palace are the Demon Lord's women."
"What?"
"My God, the Demon Lord is so brave."
Why are you blushing?
The female demons below suddenly became noisy.
"Quiet down, quiet down, do you still want to hear it?"
Chu Xinxin slammed the gavel and loudly ordered the noise to be stopped.
"Listen, listen, tell me quickly."
"I want to hear from the Demon Lord, not the Demon King."
"Me too. No matter how powerful the Demon King is, can he be more powerful than the Demon Lord?"
"The Demon Lord is the most powerful demon in our Demon Lord's history of tens of thousands of years!"
"I want to have his little devil!"
Chu Xinxin remained silent at this moment.
The female demons urged her to speak quickly, but the waiter stepped forward and said, "You can only continue listening if you spend 100 demon coins in our store, dear!"
"A pot of good tea, please!" "Me too, this table will too!" "One pot of tea and three pots of wine!"
Both big and small demons placed orders, and the shopkeeper counted money behind the table until his hands cramped.
Chu Xinxin continued talking until the teahouse closed, and the female demons were still reluctant to leave.
"Oh, sir, this is your payment for today." The shopkeeper smiled so broadly that his eyes almost disappeared as he handed Chu Xinxin a bag of high-quality magic coins.
One superior magic coin is equivalent to one hundred medium magic coins, and one medium magic coin is equivalent to one hundred ordinary magic coins. In other words, one superior magic coin is equivalent to ten thousand ordinary magic coins!
Chu Xinxin's eyes lit up; she had really struck gold!
So watching more TV dramas is actually quite useful, haha.
Chu Xinxin took the magic coins and asked, feigning modesty, "Why are there so many today?"
Shopkeeper: "A customer gave a tip, and he specifically asked for it all to be given to you."
Chu Xinxin suddenly had a bad feeling: "Who?"
"This is me."
A sinister voice, filled with suppressed anger, rang out behind Chu Xinxin.
The meaning behind that sound was terrifying. Chu Xinxin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine in the bustling teahouse, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end...
She slowly turned her head, and the Demon Lord's exquisitely handsome face, as if carved by a knife and axe, came into view...
"Look, there's a flying pig over there!"
The shopkeeper, following Chu Xinxin's finger, looked in the direction she was pointing. The sky stretched as far as the eye could see, without a single cloud. Where would a pig come from?
The shopkeeper turned around and saw that his storyteller was trying to jump out of the window, but was pulled back by the back of the collar by the distinguished guest.
Why are you running?
Nan Guangyu's face was clouded with anger as he grabbed Chu Xinxin's hand and pulled her tightly into his arms.
It lost its strength just before it was about to hit his hard chest.
But I was genuinely angry.
She thought she had disguised herself well, but there were also many people among the demons with extraordinary abilities.
She was telling a story on stage just now, and at least three or four pairs of eyes were staring at her with green light.
“This teahouse is...I’ve booked it. Get everyone out of here.”
Nan Guangyu threw down a bag of high-grade magic coins, scooped up Chu Xinxin, and went upstairs.
Chu Xinxin scratched and kicked, but her struggles were futile in the face of absolute power.
"Don't move."
Nan Guangyu simply hugged the person tightly and kicked open one of the rooms to go inside.
"If you move again, I will bind you up."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinxin shook the ground even more violently.
Nan Guangyu had no choice but to hold her even tighter with a cold expression.
The two were pressed close together, and Chu Xinxin rubbed against her, which aroused her anger.
"Was the goddess doing this on purpose?"
Nan Guangyu's voice was somewhat hoarse.
Chu Xinxin didn't know what it was at first, until she encountered a certain place...
"That Demon Lord, if I told you I just wanted you to tie me up, would you believe me?"
Chu Xinxin became obedient and cooperated fully by putting her hands together so that Nan Guangyu could tie her up.
"I won't tie him up." Nan Guangyu threw the person back onto the bed.
"I just heard the storyteller say, 'You are responsible for putting out the fire you start.' Could you put your words into practice and demonstrate this to me?"
The Demon Lord's hand caressed the edge of Chu Xinxin's collar, causing Chu Xinxin to tremble and goosebumps to rise on the exposed part of her neck.
"Hehe, hehe, storybooks are all lies."
"Does the sir know what the punishment is for deceiving the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm?"
"I am a member of the divine race, and I am not required to follow the rules of the demon race."
The Demon Lord's hand was already on Chu Xinxin's neck, and the veins under that finger throbbed.
"Is that so?"
The Demon Lord chuckled lightly: "Then, let's turn the goddess into one of my demon race..."
The last syllable was swallowed by the lips...
The Demon Lord's kiss landed on Chu Xinxin's cheek.
He originally wanted to kiss her lips, and his fingers even gripped her chin.
But Chu Xinxin turned her face away, and the courage that Nan Guangyu had finally mustered in his anger dissipated.
The Demon Lord stood up, glanced at Chu Xinxin with complex and unreadable emotions in his eyes, and then left.
Oh, and before they went out, they tied them up tightly with ropes.
"Demon Lord? Demon Lord?"
Nan Guangyu sat on the rooftop, letting the breeze calm him down, and didn't reply even after hearing the commotion.
Chu Xinxin called out twice more, but no one answered.
She called out to someone else, "Little Commander?"
【I am here. 】
The rope binding Chu Xinxin fell to the ground with a thud.
Then she jumped out of the window and escaped.
I bought the fastest dire wolf at the city gate, and following the system's guidance, I headed straight for the Protoss via the nearest path.
