Smelling the fresh shrimp, Geng Qi stared intently at the door for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the person from behind, and teased, "Chef Rong, what are you doing?"
Rong Yu knew he was watching, but he wasn't scared. He smiled, picked up a fried shrimp, and held it to Rong Yu's mouth.
Gengqi took a big bite and savored it carefully.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a satisfying chewy texture!
Rong Yu asked, "How is it?"
The Demon Lord gave it a thumbs up without hesitation: "Delicious!"
"How does it compare to those in Sangzhong City?"
"Um?"
Geng Qi paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Thinking back to the time he ate fried shrimp on that street and got jealous when he returned to the villa, he quickly swallowed his food, lifted the hand that was around his waist and hung it around his neck, and whispered intimately in his ear, "Of course, the young sect leader's cooking is better. I'll be in for a treat from now on!"
This is true. Even the most ordinary ingredients used by cultivators are better than those used in imperial banquets. In addition, with Rong Yu's control over fire, the dishes he makes are naturally incomparable to those of ordinary people.
Rong Yu chuckled softly, then asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Geng Qi was taken aback: "Oh, right, look at this!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a wisp of golden spiritual power appeared in his palm. Although it was only a wisp, it was as solid as a substance. If it were transformed into spiritual energy, it would be enough to allow a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment to directly advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Rong Yu turned his head. "It worked?"
"Of course!" Geng Qi paused, withdrew his spiritual power, and pouted, "How boring, you don't even praise me."
Rong Yu smiled helplessly, turned to look at him and said, "Even if you continue like this, I will not let anyone hurt you."
His earnestness deeply moved Geng Qi.
This time, it was by chance that he obtained the fragment of the Glazed Heart. His previous drowsiness and inability to use spiritual power recklessly were relieved, so he didn't feel much pressure when facing enemies. If something happens in the Demon Realm, he will still be sleeping all day as before, and the outcome is unknown.
He blinked and said, "Prevention...prevention is better than cure!"
Moreover, there are always people more powerful than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. This time, only the four major sects went to the Demon Realm. In his opinion, these four major sects are unapproachable in the eyes of ordinary people, but they do not pose any threat to the Demon Realm. What he is wary of are the Yi Ling Sect and the Tian Zhi Sect.
The Yi Ling Sect is in seclusion. The girl Liu Yin, whom Ji Rong encountered in the secret realm, did not suppress her cultivation and called Ji Rong "Uncle-Master". Regardless of Ji Rong's original cultivation level, he was able to contend with Rong Yu in the secret realm, so his strength must be extraordinary. Moreover, what the Yi Ling Sect knows far exceeds what the Ji Yun and Yan Yang Halls know, and the strength of the sect is also evident!
As for Tianzhi Sect, after a hasty farewell at the entrance of the secret realm, although he did not do it intentionally, he subconsciously glanced at his grandmaster. Now, looking back, he realized that he had not seen through the cultivation of Saint Zhifeng!
Saint Zhifeng can be considered the number one person in the cultivation world, but he never cares about the affairs of the cultivation world. When other sects take advantage of the Demon Realm to invade, he neither stops them nor participates. No one can understand his attitude.
But the fact that he could suppress Zuiying's murderous aura for Rong Yu with just a sword sheath shows that he is no ordinary person!
If the sect leader doesn't agree to him being with Rong Yu in the future, can he beat him?
He started to drift off into thought, then snapped back to reality and asked, "Tell me honestly, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"
"I……"
Just as Rong Yu was about to speak, a communication talisman suddenly flew in through the window.
At the same time, Geng Qi's thumb trembled slightly.
The two exchanged a glance, one lowered his head to turn the jade ring on his thumb, and the other raised his hand to accept the message talisman.
Geng Qi: "..."
Indeed, there were fragments of the Crystal Heart in the forbidden area behind the mountain.
He stared at the system interface for a moment, then looked up at the communication talisman in Rong Yu's hand. "What's wrong?"
"Prince Zhan has returned to the royal family."
"..." Zhan Wang's return to the royal family means that his royal identity has been confirmed, and Qing Han should also know who he is. Geng Qi was silent for a moment and said, "It's only a matter of time, after all, we are blood relatives."
Once we meet, we'll definitely be able to find out.
"And..." Rong Yu chuckled, "They're preparing to head to the Demon Realm."
"..."
A moment later, a streak of purple-gold light streaked across the sky from Shangxu Peak, heading towards the Demon Realm.
Inside the Demon Palace, after the Demon Protector left for several days, the palace remained quiet for just as long. The only sound was the swarms of scorpions crawling around, their rustling noises sending chills down one's spine.
A gleaming white scorpion clung to the window, gazing at the vast black earth outside the Demon Palace. Suddenly sensing something, it jerked its tail back with force, assuming a stinging posture, the venomous stinger at the end of its tail appearing even more eerie green.
Outside the Demon Palace, Geng Qi heard that the righteous path had finally decided to come to the Demon Realm. Worried that Saint Zhi Feng would arrive first, he rushed back from Tianzhi Sect. Unexpectedly, before the others arrived, he encountered an unexpected person not far from the Demon Palace, which startled him so much that he almost couldn't stop.
There were five people in total, four of whom were dressed in golden armor, even their helmets were golden. Geng Qi had seen this attire before; it belonged to the royal family's golden-armored guards.
The leader, having shed his light robe, donned a magnificent brocade gown, a pure white outer robe trimmed with gold thread, embroidered with royal patterns. His head, previously adorned only with a jade hairpin, was now adorned with a splendid crown.
The boy's face was still youthful, yet it had gained a touch of nobility.
The two, who had just met, stared at each other in mid-air for a moment. Geng Qi asked in surprise, "You're back so soon?"
This person was none other than Prince Zhan, who had just returned to the royal family.
Qinghan said blankly, "I...have something to do."
"What's up?"
"...Get the medicine."
"..." Medicine? What medicine!
Glancing at the group of people behind him who suddenly looked uneasy, Geng Qi understood.
I've only been back for a few days, and I've already been taken advantage of!
If the scorpion found out, I wonder if it would be so angry it would vomit blood!
Geng Qi curled his lips, his sarcastic gaze sweeping over the golden-armored guards before turning to Qing Han and saying, "What if I refuse?"
He had never been so sharp in front of Qinghan. Qinghan clenched her hands, looked up at him uneasily, and then lowered her head and said, "The Prince's Mansion is under reconstruction."
"...?..." What does this have to do with him not giving the antidote? Does he mean the person won't come back if he doesn't give the antidote?
That unlucky kid!
Before he could get angry, Qinghan continued, "It's...it's not finished yet. I'll come back and stay for a couple of days."
As soon as she finished speaking, a blush spread across her ears.
Geng Qi: "..."
