Early the next morning, Meng Wan was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, holding an ancient book in her hands.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard, followed by a clear voice.
"Is Miss Meng Wan from the Suzaku tribe here?"
Meng Wan raised her head and saw a young demon wearing a luxurious brocade robe standing at the gate of the courtyard.
This monster had a handsome face, with a hint of arrogance between his brows, but when he looked at her, a hint of surprise and eagerness flashed in his eyes.
Meng Wan put down the ancient book in her hand, stood up shyly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"This young man is..."
The young man smiled slightly and bowed.
"My name is Qingyu, and I am the commander of the guards in the Demon Emperor's Palace.
Upon hearing that Miss Meng Wan had just arrived at the Demon Emperor's Palace, His Majesty specifically instructed me to come and familiarize her with the palace environment and take her on a tour of the Demon Capital to prevent her from getting bored."
When Meng Wan heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. She knew that a spy was being sent to approach her.
There was a look of surprise on her face and a hint of innocence in her tone.
"Really? That's great! I was just worried about having no one to show me around. Master Qingyu, I'll trouble you then."
Seeing Meng Wan agreed so readily, Qingyu felt secretly proud and spoke with a hint of courtesy.
"You're welcome, Miss Meng Wan. It's my honor to be able to serve you."
After he finished speaking, he turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, indicating that Meng Wan should follow him out of the courtyard.
Meng Wan nodded, followed Qingyu and walked out of the courtyard.
Along the way, Qingyu enthusiastically introduced to her the layout of the Demon King's Palace and the purpose of each palace, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Ms. Meng Wan, this is the main hall of the Demon Emperor's Palace. His Majesty usually handles government affairs here.
Over there is the Wanjing Pavilion, which houses countless demonic books and techniques. If you are interested, I can take you in to have a look someday."
When Meng Wan heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and there was a hint of anticipation in her tone.
"Is it really possible? I heard that the Wanjing Pavilion in the Demon Emperor Palace is one of the most mysterious places in the demon clan. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to go in and take a look."
Seeing Meng Wan was so interested, Qingyu felt even more proud and nodded quickly.
"Of course. As long as the girl is interested, I can arrange it for you at any time."
Meng Wan smiled shyly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone, "Thank you very much, Master Qingyu."
The two talked along the way, and Qingyu glanced at Meng Wan from time to time. Seeing her innocent expression and her curiosity about everything, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
It seems that Meng Wan is just as Your Majesty said, a simple little demon from the Suzaku clan who has never seen the world.
As long as he performs better, he will surely win her favor, and then he will be able to take the help of the Suzaku Clan and make further progress in the Demon King's Palace.
Thinking of this, Qingyu couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.
Meng Wan took in his expression, but her face remained innocent.
She pretended to be curious and asked, "Master Qingyu, are there any fun places in the Demon City? I heard that the Demon City is the most prosperous place in the Heavenly Demon Realm. I really want to see it for myself."
Upon hearing this, Qingyu nodded quickly.
"Of course! The most famous place in the Demon Capital is the 'Ten Thousand Demons Market', where rare treasures from all over the Heavenly Demon Realm are gathered, and there are also many interesting performances and activities.
If you are interested, I can take you for a look."
A hint of excitement appeared on Meng Wan's face, and her tone was full of anticipation.
"Really? That's great! I've always wanted to go see it."
Seeing that Meng Wan was so easy to get along with, Qingyu felt even more proud and said, "Strike while the iron is hot."
"Then let's go now. There's a grand auction going on at the Monster Market today, and the girl will definitely like it."
Meng Wan nodded, a bit shy in her tone, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Qingyu."
The two left the Demon King's Palace and entered the Demon Capital.
Along the way, Qingyu kept introducing the customs and culture of the Demon City to Meng Wan, with a hint of boasting in his tone.
"Ms. Meng Wan, look, over there is the most famous 'Sky Demon Tower' in the Demon Capital. It houses the most powerful demons from the Sky Demon Realm."
Meng Wan's eyes flashed with excitement when she heard this. "I heard that the Heavenly Demon Tower is the gathering place for powerful demons. Today I finally have the honor to see it with my own eyes."
Qingyu smiled confidently and spoke in a meaningful tone.
"There are many demons in a place like Tianyao Tower. Miss Meng Wan, please follow me closely and don't get separated."
Meng Wan blushed and nodded gently, "I understand. I'll follow closely."
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the Ten Thousand Monsters Market.
The market was bustling with people, and all kinds of rare treasures were on display. Meng Wan was dazzled and her face was full of excitement.
Qingyu felt even more proud when he saw Meng Wan so happy.
"Ms. Meng Wan, look over there. There's a 'Treasure Pavilion' with many rare Taoist artifacts and elixirs. If you're interested, we can go in and take a look."
Meng Wan nodded, "Okay, I was just looking for some Taoist tools that would suit me."
The two walked into the Treasure Pavilion, and Qingyu enthusiastically introduced various spiritual weapons and elixirs to Meng Wan.
"Ms. Meng Wan, this 'Vermillion Bird Feather Fan' was forged by a senior from the Vermillion Bird Clan. It is incredibly powerful and perfect for you to use."
When Meng Wan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and there was a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Suzaku Feather Fan? Is this a treasure refined by an elder of my Suzaku clan? Why is it here?"
Qingyu smiled and said, "This Vermillion Bird Feather Fan was sold publicly at an auction in the Demon Capital many years ago by a senior from the Vermillion Bird Clan. It is now the treasure of the Treasure Pavilion.
If the girl likes it, I can buy it for you."
Meng Wan seemed a little moved when she heard this.
But soon, she shook her head, with a hint of apology in her tone.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Qingyu, but this feather fan is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
Qingyu felt even more satisfied when he saw that Meng Wan was so sensible.
However, the Vermillion Bird Feather Fan was prepared by the Demon King long ago, so he naturally wanted to make sure it fell into the hands of the other party.
"You're welcome, young lady. As long as you like it, I will buy it for you no matter how much it costs."
Then Qingyu turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I want this Vermillion Bird Feather Fan. Name your price."
The shop owner was a middle-aged demon. Seeing Qingyu being so generous, a gleam flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile.
"Young Master, you have good taste. This Vermillion Bird Feather Fan was personally forged by a senior member of the Vermillion Bird Clan. It is incredibly powerful, and naturally, it's quite expensive. The price is ten thousand high-grade demon crystals."
Upon hearing this, Qingyu deliberately frowned and acted embarrassed.
Ten thousand high-grade demon crystals is indeed not a small amount for him, it is almost his entire fortune.
If the Demon King hadn't reimbursed him for this part of the expenses, he wouldn't have been such a sucker.
