28 Demon Realm Crossover 4

After a while, Xu Hui was ready to meet with the fox prince that waited for her at the hall of the YuanLi sect.

Accompanied by her chambermaids, the young mistress of the YuanLi sect, was announced into the hall where the fox prince sat.

"Greetings Fox Prince! I am Li Jiao, daughter of Sect Leader Li"

Xu Hui curtsied to the man that rose up on his feet when she walked into the hall, the demon lord held his composure, while looking at the woman that portrayed herself as the young mistress of the sect. He smiled amicable and returned her greeting likewise.

"Greetings Young Mistress of the YuanLi sect, I'm Prince Rong from the fox clan."

After exchanging greetings the two sat across from each other.

"Bring some wine for the fox prince!"

Demon lord Zhurong carefully watched the movement of the woman that sat in front of him. He only had the painting of the sect leader's daughter, but had never met her in person. Looking at her face, he saw the gentle beauty and gracefulness displayed by the woman that was masquerading as Li Jiao. That made me wonder who the "real" Li Jiao was, while waiting on the wine to be served.

"Forgive my manners fox prince, I hope you like drinking wine or there is always tea. I have never been to the fox clan, therefore I know next to nothing about what the people of your clan eat or drink."

"Wine is okay, I don't like to eat when I leave the fox clan. I have a weak constitution for food that are not made from my clan, but I can tolerate any kind of wine."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Fox Prince Rong. I was about to ask the kitchen to prepare us some food."

It wasn't that the demon lord couldn't eat outside food, but the impurities which were in the form of the spiritual energy that came from being around anyone that had spiritual energy for cultivation was usually highest in foods unlike wine. Wine had some spiritual energy in them from their indirect contact with anyone that possessed that form of energy, but the demon lord knew from experience that he wasn't going to eat anything that came out of the heavenly realm, due to their spiritual energy which was like a poison to him.

The mirror of Yao was suppressing his demon energy, which made him less susceptible to the poisonous environment that he was in, the mask that would have prevented him from breathing in the poison was tucked away inside the layers of the robe he was wearing.

"Fox Prince Rong, could you tell me what brings you to my humble sect?"

The way Xu Hui spoke anyone would have taken her to be the young mistress of the sect, she sat with such dignity and poise. The epitome of gracefulness!

"Young Miss Li, why don't we wait on the wine to be brought in, before I talk about the reason for coming to the YuanLi sect?"

Xu Hui could see that the fox prince was going to prove difficult to handle, although he looked very calm and easygoing.

There was one thing the BaoXu sect disciple couldn't stand, being kept waiting, now that she had been reborn, it was as if her patience was almost nonexistent. She could kill anyone that kept her waiting for too long. Although, it was only a short time since the servants had gone in to get the wine for their mistress, to Xu Hui they weren't as fast enough for her.

She was already boiling inside from the mannerless fox prince, and having to sit by him for how long was making her shifting in her seat with discomfort.

"Is your seat not to your liking? Or is it that you don't want to sit and would rather take a walk around?"

The BaoXu sect disciple thought she had hidden it well from the fox prince, her growing irritation, but for him to point it out to her, made Xu Hui realize that he was not an easy man to deal with.

"Thank you for your concern Fox Prince Rong, but I am quite comfortable from where I'm sitting."

Xu Hui had to bite her tongue from lashing out at the annoying fox royalty. She saw the knowing smile he sent her way, this made her wish like slapping the smile off his face!

They soon heard an approaching tinkling sound and knew that the wine was about to be brought inside. One after the other, the maids set the tray bearing the porcelain green kettle and small cup on the table in front of their mistress and the fox prince.

"Thank you! You may all wait by the door!"

Demon Lord Zhurong, smiled and gave a nod at the women, before facing the one that he left his kingdom to see.

Xu Hui poured the pale colored wine from the kettle into her cup, while the demon lord did the same. After lifting the cup to take a sip of the wine, did the demon lord finally open up to discuss the purpose of his visit to the YuanLi sect.

"Young Miss Li, I heard you paid a visit to the BaoXu sect, should someone as sickly as you be going to such a dangerous place alone?"

The BaoXu sect disciple looked at the man across from her, his had a cordial smile that brightened his already handsome face. Xu Hui did not know why his presence made her uneasy, he was smiling and yet there was just something that was not quite right while looking at him.

"News really travel fast to the fox clan! Who would have thought the little walk to another sect would become a fodder of gossip in another realm. You must have a lot of time on your hands to be paying attention to things like that!"

The demon lord heard the bite in her voice, while silently laughing inside him.
