Li Xiu looked up at the tower and saw the woman in a green dress. She looked elegant and yet beautiful and sexy. Although he couldn't tell her age, judging from her demeanor, she should not be a young girl.
"What's your name?" The beautiful woman stood on the balcony, looking down at Li Xiu and asked.
"Li Xiu." Li Xiu answered and asked, "What's your name?"
"Who are you to Li Boyang?" The beautiful woman did not answer him, but continued to ask.
"Who is Li Boyang?" Li Xiu asked back.
"Isn't Li Boyang your father?" The beautiful woman looked at Li Xiu with some surprise.
Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "If the Li Boyang you are talking about is the president of Changshengtian, then it has nothing to do with me. I am just a member of Changshengtian."
"Since you are not Li Boyang's son, what are you doing in this Emerald Royal Court?" the beautiful woman asked with a serious face.
Li Xiu secretly cried out inwardly that something was not right with the beautiful woman's expression. He knew that this beautiful woman might have some special relationship with the president of the Changsheng Association.
But the words had already been said, and it was too late to pretend to be Li Boyang's son now. Besides, Li Xiu had no habit of pretending to be someone else's son.
"Of course I came here to see you." Li Xiu's expression remained unchanged, as if it was a matter of course.
"See me? Do you know who I am?" the beautiful woman said coldly.
"I don't know." Li Xiu shook his head and said, without waiting for the beautiful woman to speak, he continued: "So please tell me your name, so that I can know if you are the person I am looking for."
"What's the name of the person you are looking for?" asked the beautiful woman.
"I'm sorry, if I'm not sure that you are the person I'm looking for, I can't answer your question." Li Xiu said seriously.
"That's interesting. My last name is Jiang. Am I the person you are looking for?" The beautiful woman seemed to see through Li Xiu's thoughts and said to him with a playful look.
"Your surname is Jiang, so do you know someone with the surname Wu?" Li Zheng asked seriously.
"A person with the surname Wu? What's his full name?" The beautiful woman was slightly startled. She thought Li Xiu was talking nonsense, but seeing how serious he looked and how he said a surname that was beyond her expectations, she couldn't help but become confused.
"Since you don't know him, it seems that the person I'm looking for is not you." Li Xiu observed his expression and suddenly felt more confident, and said in a disappointed tone.
"Let me ask you what the name of that guy named Wu is?" the beautiful woman said somewhat displeasedly.
"Since you are not the person the Fifth Heavenly King is looking for, why bother saying so much." Li Xiu sighed.
"Did Wu Xinglie ask you to come? Why did he ask you to come to me?" The beautiful woman really knew Old Man Wu.
Li Xiu was secretly delighted when he heard this, knowing that his previous guess was correct. This beautiful woman was indeed from the Demon Country, and her status in the Demon Country should not be low.
"Please tell me your full name. I can only tell the person that Old Man Wu is looking for about what he said." Li Zheng said seriously.
"My name is Jiang Linglan. What on earth did Wu Xinglie ask you to come to me for?" When the beautiful woman heard Li Xiu call him "Old Man Wu", she believed it a little more.
When he was in the Demon Kingdom before, because of Wu Xinglie's temper, most of the young people who were close to him called him Old Man Wu. He also particularly liked this title and did not like others calling him the King of Heaven.
"It's you. Old Man Wu asked me to tell you that Xiaobu'er is with him." Li Xiu continued to test.
"Xiao Bu'er? Who is Xiao Bu'er?" Jiang Linglan looked puzzled.
Li Xiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It seemed that this attempt had failed. Jiang Linglan did not know Xiao Bu'er.
Li Xiu originally thought that Xiao Bu'er's identity must be very special, and it was very likely that those people in the City of Love stayed in the City of Love just to protect Xiao Bu'er.
Since Jiang Linglan knew Old Man Wu and was a high-ranking official in the Demon Country, she should have known Xiao Bu'er. Unexpectedly, she didn't know him. So Li Xiu felt that his previous guesses about Xiao Bu'er might have been wrong.
"I don't know who Xiao Bu'er is. These are the words that Father Wu asked me to bring to you." Li Xiu could only hold on at this time.
"What else did Wu Xinglie say?" The beautiful woman pondered for a moment, as if she was thinking about who Xiao Bu'er was. Perhaps she hadn't thought of it, so she continued to ask.
"No more." Li Xiu shook his head.
"That's all?" Jiang Linglan stared at Li Xiu and frowned again.
"It's true that he's gone. Father Wu asked me to bring you this message." Li Xiu said, "Besides Father Wu, there's another person who asked me to bring you a message."
"Who else?" Jiang Linglan became curious after hearing that.
If Li Xiu was just talking nonsense, then the number of people he mentioned should be as few as possible. But now he actually mentioned that there were other people, which surprised Jiang Linglan a little.
"Blind tailor." Li Xiu said to Jiang Linglan.
Jiang Linglan frowned and asked, "Who is the blind tailor?"
"Oh, by the way, the blind tailor said we can call him Shadow Swordsman." Li Xiu continued.
"Zhang Ping...you actually met Zhang Ping...what message did he ask you to bring to me?" When Jiang Linglan heard the words 'Shadow Swordsman', she no longer had any doubts about Li Xiu.
Many people know about the Fifth Heavenly King of the Demon Kingdom, and he can even be seen in the documents of the Demon Kingdom. This is not surprising.
But Shadow Swordsman Zhang Ping is different, he is the personal bodyguard of the Emperor of Demon Country. Except for a very few people who are close to the Emperor, not many people of Demon Country know the three words "Shadow Swordsman", let alone a human being from Earth.
"The blind tailor asked me to tell you to be careful of a guy called the God of Death." Li Xiu continued to deceive and try to get Jiang Linglan to talk.
Hearing the words "Killing God", Jiang Linglan's body trembled noticeably, and he said in a lost voice: "Is the Killing God still alive? This is impossible! Where is he?"
"I don't know. I'm just delivering the message. I don't even know who the God of Killing is." Li Xiu saw that Jiang Linglan actually knew about the God of Killing, and asked hurriedly, "Who is this God of Killing? Why do even Old Man Wu and the Blind Tailor seem to be afraid of him?"
Jiang Linglan now completely believed Li Xiu and sighed, "That was a person who should have been dead."
Jiang Linglan then looked at Li Xiu and asked, "Where did you meet Wu Xinglie and Zhang Ping?"
"City of Love." Li Xiu told the truth.
"City of Love? What is that place?" Jiang Linglan frowned. Obviously he had never heard of such a place.
"It's the City of Love, next to the Aegean Sea. I entered through the Trial Gate, so I don't know the exact location." Li Xiu seemed to know nothing about anything.
Jiang Linglan asked a few questions, but he couldn't seem to figure out where the City of Love was. He pondered and said, "Besides them, have you met anyone else in the City of Love?"
"There are many people in the City of Love. I wonder who you are talking about?" Li Xiu asked back.
"Is there a very sexy woman who likes to drink?" Jiang Linglan thought for a while and asked.
"The woman you are talking about, does she have big wavy hair..." Li Xiu described the appearance of the tavern owner.
"It's indeed her. That bitch is also there." Jiang Linglan actually gritted her teeth after hearing this.
Jiang Linglan asked a few more people, and it turned out that Li Xiu had actually seen them all in the City of Love.
Li Xiu wanted to ask Jiang Linglan some questions, but was interrupted by Jiang Linglan every time. Jiang Linglan had no intention of answering him at all, which made Li Xiu a little depressed.
"I've already delivered your message. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Li Xiu saw that he couldn't get any information out of him, so he wanted to see if he could leave quickly.
Jiang Linglan pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Xiu and said, "I didn't expect Wu Xinglie and Zhang Ping would still think of me. So, can you help me convey a message to them as well?"
"What?" Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard that. He finally passed this hurdle and at least his life was saved.
Jiang Linglan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "That matter has nothing to do with me."
"Is that all?" Li Xiu waited for a while, and when Jiang Linglan didn't say anything else, he asked.
"Just that one sentence." Jiang Linglan nodded.
"Okay, next time I go to the City of Love, I will definitely convey your words to you. Now I'll take my leave now." Li Xiu said as he prepared to leave.
"Wait." Jiang Linglan called Li Xiu again.
Li Xiu turned around and looked at Jiang Linglan again, feeling a little uneasy, afraid that Jiang Linglan had discovered something.
This is someone who can treat the Emerald Demon King like a pet. If she really figures out something, I'm afraid she will probably die here.
Jiang Linglan said, "Come up first. I want you to bring something to them."
Li Xiu was not afraid that Jiang Linglan would set any traps on the tower. If Jiang Linglan really wanted to kill him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
He turned around and looked for the door to the tower, but he couldn't find it there.
"No need to look for it. There is no door here. Just climb up from here." Jiang Linglan said as he threw down a thick rope from above.
Li Xiu climbed up holding the rope and suddenly remembered a fairy tale he had heard when he was a child.
Legend has it that there was a princess with long hair who was imprisoned in a high tower. When a prince came to the tower, she would let down her long hair and let the prince climb up through her hair to have a tryst with her.
Unfortunately, what Li Xiu was climbing was the rope, not his long hair, and the person on the top of the tower was not a princess, but most likely the old lover of the president of the Changsheng Society.
After a while, Li Xiu climbed onto the balcony of the tower and stood next to Jiang Linglan.
"Follow me." Jiang Linglan turned and walked into the tower.
Li Xiu followed her into the tower and saw that the interior was simply decorated. The bed and chairs were all carved from jade. It seemed that there was nothing else in the tower except jade.
Li Xiu looked around and found that not all the objects were made of jade. The painting hanging on the wall was not made of jade, but a red and green ink painting. The painting depicted the Jade Tower and Jiang Linglan. With just a few strokes, not even Jiang Linglan's appearance was depicted, but one could tell at a glance that the painting was of Jiang Linglan, which was quite artistic.
Jiang Linglan walked down the stairs, and Li Xiu hurriedly followed. The spiral staircase went down as if there was no end.
Fortunately, this was just an illusion. After walking up about a dozen floors, the stairs finally reached the end.
Li Xiu immediately saw that the bottom of the tower was actually a fish pond.
At the bottom of the circular room is a whole fish pond. The stairs are connected to a floating bridge, which spans across the center of the fish pond and connects the two ends of the room.
Jiang Linglan walked onto the floating bridge, and Li Xiu followed her up. The bridge planks were actually made of jade, and the ropes passing through both ends were made of crystal-like filaments, like fishing lines, made of multiple strands twisted together.
Li Xiu looked down at the fish pond and found that there were quite a few fish in it. White fish with blue spots were swimming around in the pond, and each one was at least one or two feet long.
The bottom of the pool is covered with pebbles of various colors, but if you look closely, you can see that they are not pebbles at all.
Those red, green, purple, blue and white ones are clearly pieces of jade.
There are many high-quality ice and glass-type jadeite, which are crystal clear and colorful and very beautiful.
Jiang Linglan squatted down, reached his hand into the pool, stirred the water a few times, and then pulled out a fist-sized piece of jade from the bottom of the pool.
The jade looked like a pebble, but it was crystal clear and as green as ice.
"Please help me take this jade to Wu Xinglie." Jiang Linglan said as he threw the ice jade in his hand to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu caught the jadeite and felt it was icy cold, just like a real ice cube.
Fortunately, Li Xiu had resistance to cold, so he didn't feel his hands were cold. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were many small characters engraved on this piece of icy jade, all of which were magic words.
Li Zheng wanted to take a closer look at what those magic words meant, but he heard Jiang Linglan say again: "This one, take it to Li Boyang."
Li Xiu looked up and saw Jiang Linglan throwing another piece of jade towards him. Li Xiu caught it and took a look. It was another fist-sized piece of jade, but the color of this piece of jade was different from the previous ones. It was mainly purple and green. It was actually a spring-colored piece.
The so-called spring-colored jadeite should actually be called spring-colored jadeite, which is similar to the color of the water shield flower.
Li Xiu looked at the spring ribbon in his hand and found that there were still many magic words engraved on it, but he didn't look at it carefully.
Who knows if the magic runes engraved on it are Jiang Linglan’s secret? It would be embarrassing if Jiang Linglan didn’t want others to know these secrets, but knew that he understood magic runes.
"Okay, I'll bring this one to the president." Li Xiu put away both pieces of jade, turned around and prepared to leave.
Who knew that Jiang Linglan would call him again. If it weren't for the fact that one had to bow his head under someone's roof, Li Xiu wouldn't even want to pay attention to her.
But there was nothing he could do now, so he had to turn around and look at Jiang Linglan as if nothing had happened.
"I've asked you to do so much, so I naturally won't let you work in vain. You can choose any piece of jade here and take it away. It will be your reward for doing the job for me." Jiang Linglan seemed to see through Li Xiu's thoughts and said with a smile.
"Hehe, you are such a particular person. I won't be polite then." Only then did Li Xiu feel like taking a closer look at the jadeite at the bottom of the pool.
There are not many large pieces of jade at the bottom of the pool. The largest one is about the size of a human head. There are red jade, purple jade, blue jade, green jade and other colors. There are also a few pieces of spring-colored jade, among which green is the most common.
In addition to these jades, there are also some black or gray stones, which are slightly larger than the jades.
"You deserve this. Don't be polite. Just pick whatever you want." Jiang Linglan said with a smile, "Those that haven't been opened are raw jadeite. There is a layer of stone skin on the outside, and there are probably jadeite inside. But I can't guarantee the quality."
Li Xiu looked at it for a while, and soon locked his eyes on a piece of black jadeite as big as a human head. He pointed at it and said, "Let's take it."
"Are you sure you want the jadeite rough?" Jiang Linglan looked at Li Xiu in surprise and said, "If you don't understand jadeite, I can tell you that among the jadeite at the bottom of the pool, there are several glass-type imperial green and blood jadeite, which are the most valuable. As for the rough jadeite, the quality of jadeite you can get depends on luck. However, no matter how lucky you are, the best you can get is glass-type imperial green. Are you sure you want to gamble?"
"I like to challenge the unknown. Things that are obvious are not interesting at all." Li Xiuyan said insincerely.
Li Xiu chose that piece of jadeite rough stone, of course, not because he liked gambling, nor because he wanted to challenge the unknown, but because when he saw the rough stone, he felt that familiar hunger again, which meant that the jadeite rough stone was extraordinary and might be a magic gem.
Of course, Li Xiu had no way of being absolutely sure, because this was the Kingdom of Demons, and it was hard to say whether the jade here was the same as the jade on Earth.
But since it can make him feel hungry, even if it is not the magic gem, it must have its special features.
"It's not a bad thing for young people to like excitement." Jiang Linglan seemed to appreciate Li Xiu's style of doing things. Without saying anything more, she picked up the piece of jadeite raw stone that was larger than a human head from the pool and handed it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu directly held the rough stone in his arms, then looked at Jiang Linglan and asked, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I really have to leave this time."
"How are you going?" Jiang Linglan asked with a smile.
Her question made Li Xiu feel a little embarrassed.
In the past, people entered the trial site with an admission ticket, and they could go back as long as they blew out the Eternal Lamp.
But this time he was brought in by the Emerald Demon King. He had not been through the trial field at all and had no admission ticket. Naturally, he did not have the Eternal Life Lamp. It was indeed a problem for him to get out.
"I'll let Xiao Cui take you back." Jiang Linglan said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Li Xiu said somewhat awkwardly. Jiang Linglan probably noticed that he was getting a little impatient.
Following Jiang Linglan back to the top of the tower, Li Xiu climbed down along the rope again.
Jiang Linglan called out "Xiao Cui" softly, and not long after, Li Xiu felt the ground shaking. Soon, the huge body of the Emerald Demon King appeared outside the Emerald Castle.
"Xiao Cui, send him out of the Emerald Gate." Jiang Linglan gave the order to the Emerald Demon King.
The Emerald Demon King was very gentle this time. He bent down and stretched his hand on the ground in front of Li Xiu. After Li Xiu jumped up, he slowly raised his hand and held Li Xiu in his palm.
"By the way, I saw your Xiao Cui spit out a baby from her mouth and sent it out of the Jade Gate. What was the origin of that baby?" Before leaving, Li Xiu thought of the baby he saw and couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Jiang Linglan, who was standing on the balcony, heard these words, her expression suddenly changed and she stared at the Emerald Demon King with a cold gaze.
When Li Xiu saw her expression, he immediately had a very bad feeling.
