now.
Inside the Demon Temple.
On a wide, black and gold dragon-shaped chair, a man dressed in a black and gold robe is eating all kinds of fruits and some very beautiful-looking snacks.
The man took a bite of the pastry, utterly disgusted. "Pah! What is this? I want mortal delicacies! What's that called... cake? Look at what you've made for me! Get out, get out, make me something new!"
Several alluring maids kneeling on the ground hurriedly picked up the plates and discarded snacks and left the hall.
The man picked up the plate of fruit, smelled it, and then threw it on the ground in disgust. "Is this the fruit you grew? Why does it smell so bad?"
The demon guard beside him respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, this is a very popular fruit in the mortal realm called durian. It smells bad but tastes delicious."
The Demon Lord felt the entire hall reeked of durian, and waved his hand at the group, "Take it away, take it away. Don't plant this kind of fruit anymore. And these aren't sweet at all. Plant them again."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several demon guards took away all the fruit in front of the Demon Lord.
When Youjing returned, she saw this scene and couldn't help but complain, "She's so picky, she's too hard to please."
Upon hearing the sound, the Demon Lord's expression darkened. With a wave of his hand, a ball of black light shot straight towards Youjing.
Upon seeing this, Youjing flashed away, and the black ball of light rushed towards a towering tree outside the main hall.
boom--
The tree was cut in half and collapsed with a crash.
"Youjing, do you not want your mouth anymore?" the Demon Lord said with a serious expression.
She harbored resentment in her heart, thinking herself petty and narrow-minded.
Luckily she dodged quickly, otherwise she would have been bedridden for ten days or half a month.
Youjing chuckled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, this servant definitely wants this mouth of mine."
"Have you brought back all the people I asked you to?" The Demon Lord glanced behind her a few times; it was empty. He questioned, "Where are they?"
“The people have all been taken away by the gods of the Divine Realm.” Youjing explained the situation in general terms, and then said with regret, “It’s just a pity for that little girl. She is so beautiful. I was originally planning to bring her back for you to see. If you took a liking to her, it would be a good way to settle your life’s major event.”
The Demon Lord scoffed, "I've seen plenty of Water Spirit girls, and they're all cowardly and troublesome."
Youjing pouted and gave him a disdainful look. She only dared to complain in her heart. He had a face that attracted many suitors, but his bad temper and difficult nature would scare any girl. It was no wonder he had been a bachelor for ten thousand years.
"I ask you, who is the god who is blocking you? I must have a good talk with him!" He dared to take away the person he wanted.
Youjing recalled for a moment and said, "I remember that the divine token on his waist had the character 'Ji' written on the back."
"Ji...Ji Xiaocang? Isn't he in the Underworld?"
“This servant doesn’t know how he got to the Mortal Spirit Sea, otherwise I could have brought back a thousand or so people for you.” Youjing thought for a moment and advised, “However, we’re not in the right either, so there’s no need for Your Majesty to go looking for him.”
"Not in the right? I'm looking for someone, not asking for someone else, so why am I not in the right?" He couldn't swallow this insult, so he stood up and left.
Youjing was momentarily stunned and asked, "So you asked me to bring people back not to feed those few monster cubs?"
The Demon Lord rolled his eyes at her. "The Demon Realm has signed a six-realm pact, so it can't eat people. When did I ever say that bringing people back was to feed the demon beasts?"
Youjing chuckled softly, "Is this a misunderstanding?"
"You didn't tell Ji Xiaocang that you were going to find someone to feed the demon beasts, did you?" The Demon Lord stared at her with wide eyes.
If she said even one wrong word, he would want to kill her.
Quietly assured, "Absolutely not."
"I will go myself. You stay here and watch over the Demon God Palace. Oh, and remember to feed that little chick you just picked up in the back hall. It looks like a divine beast. Luckily, it wasn't eaten by the Ten Demon Leopards, or another great battle would have been inevitable."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the Demon Lord left, Youjing went to the back hall and found the secret room where the chicks were kept.
As soon as I entered, I heard it muttering incessantly, "To think that I, a system, have turned into a chick! I haven't even had a chance to use the magnificent body I created with most of my savings. Am I going to die in this godforsaken place? Can a system die? This has never happened before. Mu Tiantian, come and save me! Why can't I contact you?"
Quietly listening to what it was saying, she was baffled. What was a system?
She looked the fiery red chick up and down, noticing the abundant spiritual energy emanating from it.
If it is indeed a mythical beast, it looks like it should be either a phoenix or a vermilion bird.
A dignified mythical beast crying like a baby, how cowardly.
Hiding in the corner of the secret room, Qi Tong turned his head after seeing the light and saw a bewitching woman full of demonic energy standing outside the stone door. She was clearly a female demon.
It shouted in its mind with all its might: "Mu Tiantian!"
at the same time.
Upon entering the ghost city, Mu Tiantian seemed to feel an electric current surge through her mind, and she was slightly excited: [Seven Commands?]
With a crackling sound, the intermittent sound of the seven tubes could be heard.
Qi Tong: [Mu Tiantian...I...am...locked...in the Demon God's Palace, please come and save me!]
She heard the last sentence quite clearly.
