Chapter 985 Holy Moon Banquet
Ye Xiaoman understood that the trial had already begun the moment they stepped into the Demon God Valley.
Now the entire area has been taken over by "Future Yuemushan".
Ye Xiaoman originally thought that the trial was that after Yue Mushan entered the Demon God Valley, a person who looked exactly like Yue Mushan suddenly rushed out and challenged Yue Mushan to a fight, and the two big demons would fight in the open space and that would be the end.
It turns out that’s not the case.
The darkness in the forest receded, and the scene in front of her eyes became brighter. Everything was dyed with a thick layer of blood. Ye Xiaoman raised her head and found that the sky above her head was no longer covered by the thick leaves of the giant tree, but a big, round blood moon hanging among the sparse branches and leaves.
Gradually, the forest scene turned into the residence of the Demon King. The eaves of the palace placed on the giant tree pierced the scarlet sky.
Faintly, one can hear the roaring and laughter of thousands of monsters, mixed with the sound of drums that come and go, making one's heart numb.
The air was filled with the sweet and fishy fragrance that Ye Xiaoman had smelled before, mixed with undisguised demonic power and desire, like an omnipresent net that trapped people deeply.
It's the Holy Moon Festival again this year.
A group of swaying snake demons suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xiaoman. There were both male and female snake demons, each of them was dressed seductively. Their upper bodies were no different from those of humans, but standing on the ground under their clothes were scaly snake tails.
This group of snake demons were queuing outside the Demon King's residence waiting to be received. They turned around and checked the few humans following at the end of the team.
Ye Xiaoman was at the end of the line. The edge of the rough linen blindfold dug into her skin, blocking out the light but amplifying her other five senses.
A message rushed into her sea of consciousness, brutally brainwashing her, telling her that she was a slave girl purchased by the snake demon to be presented to the Demon King.
If it were the old Ye Xiaoman, she might have been hypnotized long ago, but now she is in the powerful Spirit Transformation Stage, and Yue Mushan’s methods in the future will not have any effect on her.
There are only a few possibilities as to why Yue Mushan went to so much trouble in the future: he wanted to control his companions so that they would not get in the way when they fought; he wanted to threaten Yue Mushan; he wanted to humiliate Yue Mushan; or he was curious about his current Taoist partner.
But no matter what Yue Mushan thinks in the future, Ye Xiaoman is here to have fun tonight.
And as long as the future Yue Mushan is found, the missing Yue Mushan can be found.
So she pretended to be hypnotized, accepted the reality that she was a slave girl, and did not resist at all.
At the same time, she secretly released her spiritual sense to cover the entire place and monitor it. Her spiritual sense returned everything she "saw" to her brain in great detail, allowing her to know every move around her even if she was blindfolded.
The snake demons nodded in satisfaction. Although the tender and delicate human slaves could not compare with the stunningly beautiful mermaid slaves, they were still quite popular among the six realms.
The snakehead leader ordered sternly: "After you go in, serve the Demon King well. Know what to do and what not to do. Be smart. If you anger the Demon King, watch out for your hide!"
The humans nodded timidly.
The team in front was inspected by the Demon King's guards and was allowed into the gate one after another.
Finally, it was the snake demons' turn. The guards frowned and looked at the few slaves at the end of the team who were wearing little cloth. "Why did you bring aliens to the Demon King's banquet?"
The snake demon leader dropped his arrogant attitude in front of the slaves and replied with a humble nod, "These are gifts for the Demon King."
The guard said, "The Demon King is not interested in women. He won't be happy with the gifts you brought."
He then reminded her, "Si Ling, you weren't originally qualified to attend the banquet. It's only because your tribe of snake demons performed meritorious service in this expedition that the Demon King granted you a place. I advise you to curb your cunning ways."
Just as they were pulling each other, a clear male voice suddenly came from the sky: "Come in."
The voice was so powerful that it seemed to explode beside their ears, and everyone was startled.
The snake demon leader was overjoyed: "Did you hear that? The Demon King likes my gift."
So they quickly drove the slaves in.
Ye Xiaoman recalled the voice she had just heard. It was a bit similar to Yue Mushan’s boyish voice, but not quite the same. It sounded much more mature, and she was even more excited.
The slaves saw Ye Xiaoman, who was at the end of the line, excitedly passing them and walking ahead, and they all laughed at her.
"Another one who wants to stand out."
"Hmph, tonight is the Holy Moon Festival, the demon tribe's demand is the highest, be careful not to be killed by the big demon!"
Ye Xiaoman followed the snake demon team into the banquet hall of the Demon King. The dim and swaying lights made everything look bizarre. In front of her were the bustling demons dancing and chasing each other, blocking her view in front.
The fur rustled against the stone pillars, scales or feathers moved across the ground, the demon cultivators' laughter and shouts resounded towards people, and countless inquiring or greedy eyes were glued to Ye Xiaoman's back.
The human race is out of place here, but because of their uniqueness, they are particularly attractive to monsters.
The snake demons protected the gifts in the middle, pushed away their fellow tribesmen who were in the way, squeezed to the front, and bowed to the people on the platform.
Ye Xiaoman stood beside a copper pillar burning with a faint blue flame. She just raised her head and squinted her eyes to see the person in the dim light when her waist suddenly tightened.
What grabbed her was not a hand, nor any other cold tentacle, but a large roll of furry thing, which had irresistible power and was warm and soft. It wrapped around her so suddenly that it made it difficult for her to breathe.
"Ah!" Ye Xiaoman cried out in surprise from her throat.
The slaves immediately changed their tune: "She actually won the favor of the Demon King!"
Ye Xiaoman felt dizzy.
She pretended to be very weak, but was dragged up by the force mercilessly. The speed was so fast that in a blink of an eye, the noisy laughter and drumbeats around her became distant and distorted. She broke through the layers of gauze and was finally thrown onto a thick and soft blanket.
The throne of the Demon King is within reach in front of you.
The curtains with shielding magic blocked out most of the noise from outside, leaving only a vague background of carnival. The sweet fragrance was so strong here that it almost became a entity.
Ye Xiaoman lay on the carpet, raised her head, and pulled off the blindfold covering her eyes.
After the light in front of her eyes became clear from blurry, Ye Xiaoman looked at a beautiful face close to her.
A mature man in his twenties.
The lines of the single eyelids are graceful and cold, with a weariness that keeps people away, and the corners of the eyes are slightly twitching.
The inhuman vertical pupils were bright and cold, the color of molten gold. At this moment, because he had drunk wine and inhaled excessive sweet fragrance, a lazy and hazy feeling lingered in the depths of the golden pupils.
Her fair skin was so white that it had a translucent texture, while her lips were full and rosy.
