Yu Xi appeared in front of the Demon King's Palace, where many demons guarded the palace, and some ferocious-looking demonic beasts patrolled.
She wasn't standing at the very front, but she was still visible to the patrolling demons. The leader stepped forward and asked, "What kind of demon are you, and what brings you to the Demon King's Palace?"
Yu Xi gave a slight bow: "This humble demon is from the Feathered Bird Clan. I have come here to meet... the new Demon Queen. May I ask if you, senior, may inform her?"
The patrolling demon soldier frowned. "Do you have a token?"
Yu Xi thought for a moment and then said repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
After saying that, she took out a small crystal rabbit that Ye Shang had given her from her storage bag.
This was a five-colored crystal that Ye Shang asked her for when he had nothing to do. He carved it himself and then gave it to her.
She saw the little rabbit carved from colorful crystal lying lazily, and thought it was so cute that she kept it in her storage bag.
This was just the right time to use it as a token.
The patrolling demon soldier reached out and took it, saying firmly, "Wait a minute."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the hall.
-
Outside the Demon King's bedchamber.
The Demon King instructed Mingyan to bring Ye Shang over for dinner. Demons do not need to eat every day, but underage human cubs do need to be fed daily.
Since he was bored anyway, they decided to eat together.
Ye Shang sat opposite the crystal round table, looking at the food on the table. It was not bad, with both fruit and meat.
The Demon King drank his wine and said, "You stayed behind just for that demon from the Feathered Bird Clan?"
Ye Shang picked up a piece of roasted head and ate it. Hearing his question, he replied, "Yes, Aunt Yu Xi saved my life."
The Demon King continued drinking, seemingly lost in thought: "If she comes looking for you to return, will you..."
Ye Shang was getting a little tired of eating meat, so he picked up a fruit and started eating it: "Just say what you want to say."
The demon king, unusually choked a little on his wine, coughed lightly, and said, "That female demon has come looking for you."
The entire Demon King's Palace was under his control; he had sensed it a thousand meters from where Yu Xi had entered.
However, he ignored it. There were so many demons passing by every day; he couldn't possibly check on every single one of them.
When she flew straight towards the Demon King's Palace, he sensed her for a moment and realized that this demon seemed to be the companion of the little eagle demon who had been injured during a mission to the human realm some time ago.
Thinking about it this way, he recalled what Ye Shang had asked him during the day, and realized that's how it was.
Just as Ye Shang was about to ask when, a patrolling demon soldier appeared outside the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, at the palace gate, there is a bird clan member who has come looking for the Queen." He held the token in his palm and said, "She is holding this token."
Ye Shang stepped forward and took the crystal rabbit. "Thank you for bringing her in."
The patrolling demon soldier hurriedly saluted: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Ye Shang held the crystal rabbit. Hmm, the carving wasn't quite perfect.
The Demon King stepped forward, glanced at it, and asked, "Did you carve this?"
"Um."
The Demon King said meaningfully, "My birthday is on the third day of next month."
Although he hasn't celebrated his birthday for thousands of years.
Ye Shang did not answer.
The Demon King continued, "I don't like rabbits."
Ye Shang: "......"
The Demon King glanced at her expression: "I like little foxes."
Ye Shang asked expressionlessly, "So?"
The Demon King coughed awkwardly and continued, "The Demon King's Palace has many crystals sent from the Five-Colored Canyon."
