Venerable Jin Peng stood beside Meng Wan, his eyes swept over her, and there was a hint of comfort in his tone.
"Miss Meng Wan, there's no need to be nervous. Although His Majesty the Demon King is majestic, he is always gentle towards the younger generation. You just need to remain calm and don't be too restrained."
Hearing this, Meng Wan raised her head, a hint of timidity flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone.
"Thank you, Venerable Jinpeng, for your advice. I've simply never left the Suzaku Clan, and I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the outside world, so I'm inevitably a bit nervous."
Venerable Jin Peng chuckled, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"That's all right. The Demon Emperor's Palace may be large, but His Majesty is kind and generous. You just need to be yourself."
Besides, this trip to the Demon King's Palace is also a rare opportunity for you.
His Majesty the Demon King is knowledgeable and experienced, and perhaps he could give you some pointers that would be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
Meng Wan smiled slightly, with a hint of innocence in her tone.
"Really? That's great! I've always longed to see the outside world, but my mother always said I was too young and wouldn't let me leave the clan.
Now that I have the opportunity to see it, it has fulfilled one of my wishes."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Peng's eyes flashed with approval.
"Ms. Meng Wan is so young, yet she possesses such a charisma. This is truly rare. If His Majesty the Demon King were to meet you, he would surely be very impressed."
Meng Wan lowered her head, her tone a little shy.
"Your Excellency Jin Peng is too kind. I am just an ignorant junior. How could I dare to hope for the appreciation of His Majesty the Demon King?"
Venerable Jin Peng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of meaning.
"Miss Meng Wan, there's no need to be so modest. His Majesty the Demon King has always been discerning. Since he specifically sent me to pick you up, he must have his reasons."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan nodded, not quite understanding.
She raised her head and looked into the distance, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.
"Venerable Jinpeng, what does the Demon King's Palace look like? I heard it's the most sacred place for the demon race. Isn't it magnificent?"
Venerable Jin Peng nodded, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"The Demon Emperor Palace is the supreme holy land of the demon race, standing tall in the center of the Heavenly Demon Territory. It is magnificent and majestic.
The palace not only contains countless rare treasures, but also many powerful demons. You will be amazed when you get there."
A trace of longing flashed in Meng Wan's eyes, and she sighed softly.
"Hearing you say that, I'm even more excited. But... I've never seen such a grand spectacle before, and I'm still a little uneasy."
Venerable Jin Peng smiled slightly, with a soothing tone in his voice.
"Miss Meng Wan, don't worry. His Majesty is kind and generous, and most people in the palace are also kind. You just need to stay true to yourself and don't be too restrained."
Meng Wan nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her tone.
"Thank you for your guidance, Venerable Jin Peng. I will remember your words and try not to be disrespectful."
Venerable Jin Peng nodded with satisfaction and took Meng Wan back to the Demon King's Palace.
Inside the Demon King's Palace, in the magnificent hall, the Demon King sat on the throne, emitting a heart-pounding majesty.
His eyes fell on Meng Wan gently, and there was a hint of kindness in his tone.
"This is the little princess of the Suzaku clan, right? You truly have an extraordinary aura. No wonder Venerable Jinpeng is full of praise for you."
Meng Wan lowered her head slightly, her tone filled with a hint of respect and shyness.
"Meng Wan greets His Majesty the Demon King. Your Majesty, your compliments are unmerited. Meng Wan is merely an ignorant junior and truly unworthy of such praise from Venerable Jin Peng."
The Demon King chuckled softly, his tone filled with a hint of kindness.
"Don't be so reserved. Since you are the little princess of the Suzaku clan, you are like my junior.
I invited you here this time because I wanted to meet you and see if I could give you some advice."
Meng Wan raised her head, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Meng Wan is still young and my cultivation is shallow. It would be a great honor to receive your guidance."
The Demon King nodded, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
"You are young, and you possess the blood of the Vermillion Bird. Your future is bound to be bright. However, the path of cultivation is long, so you must be down-to-earth and not rush for success."
Meng Wan nodded obediently, with a serious tone in her voice.
"Your Majesty's teachings, Meng Wan will remember them in heart."
As the two were talking, Meng Wan keenly sensed that a hidden probing force was quietly seeping into her body.
She sneered in her heart, but remained expressionless on her face, still maintaining a respectful and well-behaved expression.
The Demon King's probing power traveled around her body, but did not find anything abnormal.
He frowned slightly, then regained his composure, his tone still gentle.
"Meng Wan, since you've just arrived at the Demon Emperor's Palace, you must be unfamiliar with this place. I've already arranged accommodation for you. You can go down and rest first. If you need anything, please feel free to tell the palace staff."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Meng Wan will take her leave."
The Demon King nodded slightly, waved his hand, and signaled the maid beside him to take Meng Wan away.
After Meng Wan left the hall, the Demon King's gaze gradually became deep.
Venerable Jin Peng beside him couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how is it going? Have you discovered any secrets about her?"
The Demon King shook his head. "Strange, I can't detect anything unusual. Could it be... I'm just being overly suspicious?"
Venerable Jin Peng frowned. "Impossible! Could it be someone from the Suzaku clan, or could it be that old man Xuan Ming who did something to her?"
"Perhaps."
The Demon King said calmly, "She's right under our noses anyway, so we can just have someone keep an eye on her movements."
While the Demon King was talking with Venerable Jin Peng, Meng Wan, led by a maid, came to an exquisite courtyard in the Demon King's palace.
The courtyard is full of lush flowers and plants, and abundant demonic energy. It is obviously an excellent place for cultivation.
The maid said respectfully, "Miss Meng Wan, this is your residence. If you need anything, just tell me."
Meng Wan smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone.
"Thank you, sister. I'm new here, so if there's anything I don't understand, I hope you can give me some pointers."
The maid waved her hands quickly, her tone filled with a hint of panic.
"Miss, you are too kind to me. You are a distinguished guest personally invited by His Majesty. How dare I be your sister? If you need anything, please just tell me."
Meng Wan nodded and said gently, "Then I'll trouble you, sister."
The maid bowed and then retreated.
Meng Wan walked into the house and closed the door. The obedient look on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of coldness.
"These old monsters... they're really a source of worry."
She muttered to herself, a cold glint in her eyes, "I was a little careless after all. I underestimated the importance of the Twelve Gods' inheritance to the demon race...
But it doesn't matter, since they're all interested in me, I'll use my new identity as the little princess of the Suzaku tribe to have some fun with them."
