"But, this guy seems to be the Demon King. If he dies, how will those sea snakes harass us Corpse Kings day and night?..."
Jiuxi said it lightly, but she couldn't deceive herself about the joy in her heart. It was like a ray of rosy sunlight shining into the dark room, or like a stream of clear water slowly flowing into the dry heart. She seemed to be too concerned about his safety.
Perhaps it was because she had no chance of winning against the Demon King, and Ming Ye was like a reassurance, making her feel that the Demon King's inner elixir was not that difficult to obtain.
Ming Ye naturally didn't understand what she was feeling at the moment. He just reached out and slowly gathered her messy hair. He took out a ribbon from somewhere and tied her hair up very carefully. His breath sprayed on her face, adding a bit of ambiguity.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then cleared her throat and asked, "Is the volcano solved?"
Ming Ye nodded, feeling very fortunate to have dealt with the Fire Kirin. If he had been late, she would have been bullied by someone with her temper. After all, the rules of the Immortal Realm...
He didn't tell her about the dangers of the volcano, but instead asked, "Are you afraid of losing your throne as Hades if you don't kill it?"
Jiuxi suddenly shook off the hand that was running through his hair and said in his usual lazy tone, "Yes and no."
She did have the intention to kill just now, but she still had many things to sort out regarding the underworld. She didn't really care about the throne of Hades, but if it involved her father, she had to keep the throne of Hades so that she could figure out those things.
The relationship between the Queen Mother and the King is not just that of old lovers.
Ming Ye hid the disappointment in his eyes and looked back at the submarine volcano that had returned to normal. However, there was no longer any Fire Kirin inside. What was there was only frozen magma. This submarine volcano had been completely sealed by him, and would never cause underwater earthquakes or tsunamis again...
On the way back to the mermaid palace, the sea snakes attacked them crazily, and they ended up becoming grilled snake skewers.
Before the sea snakes could get close to them, they were burned to ashes by the flames. The remaining sea snakes still had some intelligence and left in shame.
The Mermaid King was already waiting for them at the entrance of the hall. When he saw them return safe and sound, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The Mermaid King and a group of mermaids knelt on the white jade floor, their hands prostrated on the ground, expressing their highest gratitude and respect to them, "Thank you, Pluto and Corpse King!"
The words spoken in unison echoed in the empty palace.
Jiuxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The Mermaid Emperor must remember his promise."
The Mermaid Emperor then allowed his subordinates to help him up and said respectfully, "Of course I remember. However, now is not a good time to enter the Mermaid Tomb. Three days from now, when the moon is full, I will take you there!"
In the crowd, a gorgeously dressed woman stumbled over, her face filled with fear, the crown on her head tilted to the side. She covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief, sobbing, "Brother Jiuqin...
Are you really a zombie?"
Qi Xin just couldn't believe that this man with such a gentle gaze could actually be a corpse that had cultivated into a spirit. But what made her most sad was that this man had deceived her, hidden his identity, and even lied to her that he was a mute, thus deceiving her feelings.
Qi Xin grabbed Ming Ye's robe desperately and almost fell to the ground, but Ming Ye still looked as if he didn't hear anything, as if the person grabbing him was not him, but someone else.
Jiuxi frowned and said subconsciously, "Let go."
