"Still here? Where are you? I can't see you!"
"Demon King, have you been hiding?"
"How could you do this? Wanwan and Siyu truly love each other, you can't..." Before Princess Wan could finish speaking, she was knocked unconscious by a burst of spiritual power from the Demon King.
The demon servants quickly led Princess Wan away from the banquet.
The human man disappeared, and a barrier was set up in the main hall. The demons lowered their heads anxiously.
Some of the bolder ones spoke up: "Demon King, that human probably hasn't gone far. Do you think we should send someone to chase after him?"
The demon king, seated in the main seat, rhythmically tapped his fingers on the glass cup, producing a soft clanging sound that made all the demons hold their breath.
"Don't worry, everyone. He's still in this hall. He can't escape," the Demon King said nonchalantly.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. The palace wasn't very large anymore; if that human was still here, why had he vanished? What exactly did the Demon King mean?
Upon seeing this, Si Yu frowned. Could it be that the Demon King had discovered him?
For some reason, Ji Jiuying always felt a gaze fixed on her from the shadows, but she couldn't sense where that gaze was coming from. Could it be...?
Ji Jiuying gently raised her eyes and glanced at the Demon King on the main seat. She was startled. Although she couldn't see him, she could clearly feel that the eyes under the fox mask were looking at her.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying's body suddenly flew into the air towards the center of the hall. Her heart sank. Damn it, could she really have been discovered?
"You little demon, what are you looking around for?"
The Demon King spoke.
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. She was now 100% certain that the demon king had noticed her. Otherwise, with so many demons in the hall, why would he notice her?
She wanted to escape, but there was a barrier around her, and now all the demons around her were watching her, seemingly not understanding why the Demon King would ask such a seemingly insignificant demon servant such a question.
Ji Jiuying hesitated for a moment, blinked, and said, "The Demon King's appearance is like that of a celestial being, and this servant naturally wishes to pay homage to him."
The Demon King scoffed at this, seemingly doubting what Ji Jiuying had said.
"Oh? It seems Princess Wan's demon servant is indeed powerful. Even with my mask on, you can still see my face." The demon king's golden eyes, hidden beneath his fox mask, met Ji Jiuying's gaze, filled with infatuation.
Ji Jiuying's heart tightened, and she dared not make any rash moves. She could only force a smile and say, "Princess Wan has often praised the Demon King. I am of lowly status and have no right to see His Highness the Demon King's peerless beauty."
"Hehehe, I like you very much. How about I give you a chance?"
The Demon King picked up a wine cup and casually swirled the wine inside.
Upon hearing this, all the demons widened their eyes in surprise. What had His Highness the Demon King just said?
They had sent many beautiful demons to the Demon King on ordinary days, but he had rejected them all. They never expected that the Demon King would flirt with a demon servant in front of them, and that the demon servant was just an ordinary-looking one at that!
"What? You don't want to? Or were you lying to me when you said you wanted to pay your respects to me?"
Seeing that Ji Jiuying remained silent, the Demon King spoke again.
"..." Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. Why did this damn demon king have so many problems? In order to get him to open the barrier, she had no choice but to cooperate with him for now.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. This servant would not dare to deceive Your Majesty. It is only because of my lowly status that I dare not presume to do so."
As Ji Jiuying spoke, she slowly lowered her head, afraid that the Demon King would see her guilty expression.
Unexpectedly, the Demon King on the main seat laughed twice and looked Ji Jiuying up and down.
"I'll give you a chance to dream. Come back to my palace with me, and we'll discuss this issue properly."
"·····"
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to refuse, her body suddenly lightened and she vanished from the main hall. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at an unfamiliar palace. A bad premonition surged into her heart like a tide. Noticing that she was restrained here, she chuckled dryly, "Why did Your Highness bring me here instead of capturing that escaped human?"
The golden eyes beneath the fox mask stared straight at her, and the close contact gave Ji Jiuying a sense of familiarity.
"Yes, we've caught them..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying suddenly raised her head, but she still couldn't figure out what had given her away. Her expression turned cold, and she simply stopped pretending: "Hehe, the Demon King truly lives up to his reputation, his strength is remarkable."
The Demon King turned his back to Ji Jiuying and laughed, "I wonder where you heard all this from?"
"Where I heard it is not important; what is important is what you, Demon King, intend to do?"
"What do I want? Human girl, you trespassed into my palace and tried to assassinate me. Now you've kidnapped Princess Wan's husband. I'd like to ask you what you're up to?"
Ji Jiuying frowned. This demon king could actually see through Hei Xiangling's illusion. It seemed that he had already guessed that she was the human from Wuzhen.
"What do I want to do? Do you think the Demon King is so smart that he can't guess?" Ji Jiuying sneered.
"You..." The demon king was about to say something when a wave of dizziness hit him. Before he could think, he collapsed to the ground. Before he lost consciousness, he saw a girl lower her head with a cold smile on her face.
Ji Jiuying kicked the demon king on the ground with disdain, her gaze falling on the fox mask. She wanted to see what he looked like.
Just as she was about to reach out, the Demon King on the ground suddenly opened his golden eyes, grabbed Ji Jiuying's hand, and pulled her into his arms. He sneered, "Human... are you so curious about my face? Only the Demon Queen can remove my fox mask. Perhaps you wish to become my Demon Queen? I might consider it..."
Ji Jiuying's face turned cold: "Consider your sister! Who wants to be your empress? Get out of my way!"
He gathered spiritual power in his hand and fiercely struck the demon king. The two forces collided with a loud bang, and their battle was about to begin.
Ji Jiuying coldly looked at the demon king in front of her. She had set up a restraint around her, so she couldn't leave this place. This damned demon king was completely uncontrollable by her drugs. Since she still needed to find the Xuanbing Flower, she couldn't expose her spatial trump card. She had no choice but to fight.
"Humans, without me, even if you leave the Demon Palace, you can't leave the Demon Realm. Besides, there's nothing wrong with staying in the Demon Realm and becoming a Demon Queen, second only to one person."
Upon hearing this, Si Yu, who was inside the space, sneered, "Little beauty, don't listen to him. I naturally have a way to leave here."
A resolute glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. Black Night appeared in her hand, its black blade radiating a chilling aura, instantly transforming into a cold ray of light that pierced towards the Demon King.
The Demon King smiled gently, his body radiating dazzling light, and an invisible force resisted Ji Jiuying's spiritual technique.
He easily neutralized every move she made, which troubled Ji Jiuying.
However, Si Yu, Hei Xiangling, and the others in the space couldn't sit still for a moment.
"Girl, let me out of here."
"My little beauty, this fox demon is skilled in binding techniques, you must be very careful."
