"I know, this is you testing my insight as a guide, right?" The little demon cultivator tossed his head, looking quite proud.
"Because our Lord has not appeared for several months, everyone is saying that His Lord is ill."
"This is not just a baseless speculation. Many people have said that they have seen a large number of guards from the Demon Palace escorting medicines in."
"You bring a righteous cultivator with you at a time like this, and a righteous cultivator who looks very healthy at that." He sized up Ji Mofan as he spoke. "It's obviously a gift for the Venerable One, to be used as a vessel for recuperating his body!"
Jimo Fan: ......
That makes sense.
To the cultivation world, demonic cultivators are monstrous creatures that should not exist, and conversely, to the demonic world, righteous cultivators are the same.
In the past, the fates of righteous cultivators who were captured were all similar: they were either used as furnaces or turned into medicine.
In short, there's not much of a good life ahead of us.
He looks similar to those people now.
"How come you're not afraid at all!" The little demonic cultivator pretended to step on Ji Mofan's shoe.
Li Geyue reacted quickly and pulled the person away first.
Ji Mo Fan was still caught off guard.
The little demonic cultivator in front of him was probably only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but even such a small fry was no match for him at this moment.
"Be careful, don't break it." Li Geyue actually got the hang of it after a couple of lines, her expression incredibly realistic. "How can we present it to His Majesty if it's broken?"
However, perhaps it's not much of an act; he always presents himself as arrogant and disdainful of everyone in front of others, but he hasn't shown it much to Ji Mofan lately.
The little demonic cultivator scratched the back of his head in annoyance, "Hmm... Brother is right."
He didn't find it out of place at all, after all, there were too many people with similar personalities in the Demon Realm, and there was even one who would order someone to die on the spot if he was unhappy.
The rules of the demon realm are that the strong are respected. If a stronger person seeks revenge for the dead, that's fine, but if not, then that person has truly died in vain.
Very straightforward and blunt.
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet." Li Geyue looked at the little demonic cultivator.
"Just call me Miao Miao!" The little demonic cultivator cheerfully cupped his hands in greeting. "How shall I address you, brother?"
"Yue Ge." Li Ge Yue removed her surname and gave a pseudonym by reversing her given name.
The Li family is very famous in the cultivation world, and even the demon realm has heard of them. The name "Li" must never be uttered.
"Brother Yue, let's head to the main city now!" Miao Miao was incredibly excited at the mention of seeing the Demon Lord, which showed just how important the Demon Lord was to everyone in the Demon Realm.
"If we go from here, we can arrive two days before His Excellency's birthday celebration, unless we're in a particularly urgent hurry!"
Choosing Miao Miao as our guide was absolutely the right decision.
At first, Ji Mofan was on guard, wary that this little demonic cultivator might launch some kind of sneak attack from within.
But after walking together for a while, they realized that the child had genuine respect for Li Geyue, who was "able to catch the righteous geniuses".
Along the way, besides dutifully giving them directions, he kept pestering Li Geyue to tell him how he had captured Ji Mofan.
Li Geyue was so pestered by him that she had no choice but to make up a story for him.
The child was completely fooled.
"So you won over the righteous prodigy by deceiving him emotionally?" Miao Miao's gaze towards Li Geyue was beyond worship.
Li Geyue touched the tip of her nose, feeling a little guilty.
He secretly glanced at Ji Mofan, who had remained silent to the side.
The latter had already turned his head to the other side, not even giving him a glance.
Li Geyue felt a surge of loss welling up in her heart.
In Miao Miao's eyes, this was Ji Mofan regretting his miscalculation!
He showered Li Geyue with flattering words, praising her to the skies.
This made Li Ge even more guilty. "Alright, let's save our energy. We still have a long way to go."
Miao Miao then calmed down.
However, only the mouth calmed down; the eyes were still darting around.
"Brother Yue, when you were deceiving people's feelings, did you really not waver at all?" After a while, she couldn't help but move closer to Li Geyue and whisper to him.
The whole world heard this whisper.
"What do you think?" Li Geyue asked calmly. "What do you mean by asking that?"
"I just think, you're actually willing to give away such a precious furnace that you went to so much trouble to get it to Your Majesty." Miao Miao didn't notice anything amiss and kept chattering, "Your Majesty never hesitates to use the furnace. So many people have died in his Demon Palace."
"What's so special about this? I only came up with this idea from the beginning to send a congratulatory gift to His Excellency." Li Geyue pretended to be nonchalant.
Miao Miao wore a solemn and respectful expression.
Ji Mofan, who was walking beside the two, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Li Geyue looked at him with some surprise. "What's wrong?"
"Even if we're tired, we have to keep walking." Miao Miao said, hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised.
"Something's not right." Ji Mofan's gaze didn't fall on them, but instead turned to the dense forest beside them.
"Huh? What don't you mean..." Miao Miao didn't finish her sentence.
Several dark figures emerged from the shadows of the trees with a whooshing sound, encircling the three of them.
"Where are you all headed?" The leader was a large, burly man with his animal fur coat wide open, revealing the smooth lines of his chest and abdomen muscles. He also wore a necklace made of wolf fangs around his neck.
It's almost as if he had the words "I'm a bandit" plastered on his forehead.
"The Wolf Fang Gang." Miao Miao was indeed very familiar with geology and culture, and he recognized the newcomer's identity at a glance just by his clothing.
He nudged Li Geyue beside him with his elbow, "Brother Yue, they just want tolls, they won't kill us."
As he spoke, he reached into his storage bag and took out money, saying, "I led you astray, I'll pay for you."
Seeing the small map vendor, Miao Miao picked up the money without even blinking and stuffed a handful of silver ingots into the vendor's hand.
"Brothers, we're just passing through. We hope you'll be kind to us." He handed over the money with a grin, pouring out a whole bunch of nice words.
But for some reason, the person on the other end didn't seem to appreciate his gesture this time.
The burly demonic cultivator tossed the money pouch in his hand and let out a disdainful snort.
"You think you can get rid of us with this little bit?" He held his chin high.
