Li Geyue scratched his head. "Senior Brother, can I ask why?"
It wasn't that he didn't want to carry out Ji Mofan's orders, but... it was just too strange, and he couldn't guess the purpose at all.
Even if, as he said, you want a better outfit than what you're wearing, you don't need to use his dirty one.
"The plaster used to plaster the walls here is mixed with a kind of herb called Chihiro," Ji Mofan said, raising his chin slightly to indicate that he should listen to him while he worked.
"Chihiro's scent is very faint, but it can last for a long time, and you will inevitably get the scent on your skin if you touch it. Because the scent is faint, it is very difficult to detect and also very difficult to clean."
"Don't worry too much about what sticks to the body; it will disappear completely in a few hours at most due to normal metabolism."
Li Geyue couldn't help but shiver outside the wall, and hurriedly took off her clothes and stuffed them back into the small hole.
"Actually, to be on the safe side, you should have shaved your head as well," Ji Mofan's voice came faintly from inside the wall.
Li Geyue subconsciously touched his head.
"But upon closer inspection, it's not quite right either." Fortunately, Ji Mofan's turn of events came right away.
"A bald head stands out in the crowd; he's conspicuous even without Chihiro."
Li Geyue visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He doesn't want to be a monk!
If Ji Mofan were to actually give him such an order, he would be unable to resist due to the Love Poison Gu, and would actually turn himself bald!
"Senior Brother, what if it gets covered in Chihiro's scent...?" Reassured, Li Geyue pinched her hair and sniffed it.
The smell is very faint, but it does have a very unique flavor.
The senior brother wasn't trying to scare him.
The good news is that he didn't bang his head when he crawled in, so the smell in his hair was very faint.
A significantly larger amount of substance was stuck to the clothes.
“It’s not difficult. You just need to find something with a stronger scent to cover it up,” Ji Mofan said. “Once the scents are mixed up, Chihiro’s scent will be diluted.”
He heard a response coming from outside the wall, and then that presence disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the dirty wad of clothes in his hand, Ji Mofan actually wanted to burn it.
However, he can't use his spiritual power now, and Shuanghuang stayed at Yuncang Sword Sect to take care of Gegen.
Once he got Li Geyue's clothes, he changed his mind and decided not to wear them. Firstly, they didn't fit him well, and secondly, they were tainted with the scent of demonic cultivators. To him, the clothes he was wearing were much more annoying.
It's just a bit old, at least.
After wandering around the Demon Palace again, Ji Mofan returned to the room where Xiao Wangyan had initially locked himself up, as if nothing had happened.
As he pushed open the door, he was surprised to see the maid who had been coming and going frequently these past two days.
The maid remained completely still, her voice devoid of emotion, "His Majesty requests your presence in the main hall. Please come with me."
The corridors of the Demon Palace are long and complicated; it takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to walk from here to the main hall.
The maidservant only escorted him to the front gate before retreating to attend to her own business.
Ji Mofan looked up at the gilded door in front of him.
He lifted his foot and took the first step.
"Your Majesty, I still believe this is inappropriate." One of the demon generals lined up in the hall spoke frankly, "There are plenty of furnaces with better physiques to choose from, why is Your Majesty so fixated on Ji Mo Fan?"
“What is Ji Mo Fan? He’s just a greenhorn in his early twenties. He’s not very experienced and his strength is weak. If His Majesty wants to keep him as a toy, then let him stay.” Some people disagreed with this view.
"That's true, but Ji Mofan has been very popular in the cultivation world in the past two years, with countless followers. Provoking him for no reason will only make the cultivation world think that we are provoking them."
"So what if they provoke us? Do they think they can come to the heart of the Demon Realm to search for someone?"
"If anyone dares to come then, it won't be us provoking them, but rather they breaking the Boxer Rebellion Treaty from a thousand years ago."
"Won't this just lead to the same result? When the war between the demon realm and the cultivation world reignites, neither side will come out on top! What's the point!"
"What do you know! We haven't even fought yet, how do you know we can't win?"
"I've had enough of being confined to this tiny corner of the Demon Realm all these years!"
"Your Majesty, seize this opportunity to declare war! My blade is already impatient!"
Xiao Wangyan, sitting on the high platform, only watched the discussion among the crowd without saying a word.
When called upon, he merely straightened his body a few degrees to show that he was listening attentively, but his overall posture still looked lazy no matter how you looked at it.
"So eager to fight?" He smiled, the light and shadow in the hall blurring his features, making it impossible to tell whether the expression in his eyes was cold or warm.
"Since that's the case—"
A faint scraping sound came from the door behind them.
Xiao Wangyan raised his eyes, and in his expanding field of vision, he saw a figure stepping across the threshold against the light, slowly treading on the soft carpet on the ground.
"Then I'll give you that chance." His smile widened slightly, and he casually raised his hand, which was resting on the chair, and pointed it in the air.
Ji Mofan didn't hear anything outside.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Wangyan threw a cryptic remark at him.
This time, no demonic energy rushed towards him. On the contrary, after being pointed at by Xiao Wangyan, he felt much lighter.
A rattling sound rang out, and only then did my brain belatedly realize that the Immortal Lock Chain on my waist had been untied.
