Am I really going to infiltrate this man's palace tonight to look for the legendary Soul-Returning Water?
I suddenly felt a mountain of pressure.
After the usual pleasantries, Xuan Yue began her conversation with the Infernal King. It seems that the peace policy of the peace faction can be carried out, because the Infernal King has been more cooperative. This was probably what Xuan Yue wanted. But Yuanyuan might not be the case. He just sat by the side and did not participate in the conversation. His face was cold and his attention seemed to be focused on the dancing lady.
As I was thinking about the plan of action for the evening, I suddenly heard a whisper that seemed to be the voice of the Far Abyss: "White boy! The Soul-Returning Water isn't on the Demon Lord's body. I've already tested it. Right now, quickly sneak into the inner palace. I reckon that the treasure is hidden in the Demon Lord's chamber! "
Oh, so he was intentionally feigning indifference, but in reality, he is helping me inspect the items on the Demon Lord's body!
My heart was filled with gratitude as I gave Yao Yuan a meaningful glance. Afterwards, I turned around and quietly left the hall.
In my hand was a map of the Demon Palace that was given to me by Yuanyuan. With this, I was able to avoid the eyes and ears of the people in the palace and arrived at the Demon Lord's palace.
At this time, most of the palace maids were busy in the front palace, with very few people guarding in the back palace.
After I entered the bedroom and closed the door, I leaned against the door and let out a sigh of relief … Great, safe destination! Now, let's start looking for the Soul-Returning Water!
He raised his eyes and saw that the Demon Lord's sleeping quarters were mostly black, with occasional red patterns on it. This was very fitting for his dark temperament. In the middle of the inner chamber, there was a luxurious wooden bed, with a crimson gauze canopy that hung by its side.
That, should be able to be called the Demon Lord's Dragon Bed, right?
The dragon bed usually has a secret compartment that is used to store precious items and special items. I have already investigated this in the mortal world's imperial palace. Thus, the first thing I did after calming down was to walk forward and open the tent to explore the gigantic dragon bed.
However, unexpectedly, there was someone on the bed! She was a beautiful lady that was soft like a flower and soft like jade!
She was lying on her side beside the bed. Her posture was elegant and her beauty was moving …
My sudden movement must have frightened her, so she fell over the side of the bed and almost hit my foot!
"Aiya!" The beauty panted.
My hands were quick as I raised them to support her. She looked back at me with unparalleled bitterness and bewitching enchantment as she called out, "Your Majesty …"
Oh, my mother, my bones are going to break!
It was said that the Demon Lord, Sky Darkya, was very powerful in "that area." He could rule several women in one night and rule seven times every night …
It was also said that the Demon Lord Tianya was especially interested in "that area", so his harem was huge, he had countless mistresses, and he would often change his harem to a new one …
At the moment, what I was experiencing was probably one of his "pet girls." However, this lady seemed to be rather impatient. She did not wait for the Demon Lord's arrival; she probably wanted to give him a surprise. But in the end, I took the initiative...
Alright, I actually didn't take advantage of her. At most, I just helped her up. Then, to keep her from revealing my whereabouts, I had to knock it out with a hand knife and hide it under the bed.
However, even though this beauty's life was delicate and pitiable, after she fainted, she became even heavier than that of Fairy Copper Sparrow! I managed to get her under the bed, and just as I was about to continue with my plan of stealing, I heard a creak from behind the door!
Someone was coming!
"Who are you? Why is it in this sovereign's chambers?! "
The man's voice sounded from the door, low and dignified, with a subtle sense of familiarity.
I raised my head in shock and realized a painful fact … The Demon Lord had returned! He … he actually came back early!
Yuanyuan, didn't you say that the banquet would end in two hours? This was simply bullshit!
"That... If I say that I'm here to play soy sauce, would you believe me? " I scratched my hair awkwardly.
The Demon Lord was stunned for a moment before he slowly shook his head.
Oh, he didn't believe it.
So, what excuse should I come up with next?
Being stared at by the Demon Lord's bloodshot eyes made me flustered. I felt like a frog that was being eyed by a venomous snake. My hairs stood on end and cold sweat dripped from my body. I couldn't come up with any decent lies!
At this moment, the Demon Lord recognized me and said hesitantly, "You are … An envoy from Heaven Realm? The close attendant of Yuanyuan! "
Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. These few days, I have been hanging around Yuanyuan's side, so I must have gotten familiar with him.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart … It seemed like he wouldn't be able to dodge it today!
Indeed, the Demon Lord's eyes instantly turned cold, "Heaven Realm's envoy, what are you doing in this sovereign's chambers?!"
"I... Come for a walk! "
The devil just looked at me coldly. "Walking? "Humph!"
He suddenly moved around me and lifted his hand to pull the beauty out from under the bed!
Oh no, he had found out what he had done!
I suddenly felt like I wanted to cry, but there were no tears... It turned out that she had acted too lightly just now, but the beauty had already woken up!
When she woke up, she found herself on the ground! He looked at me and then at the Demon Lord and then he dived into the Demon Lord's arms and wailed, "Wuu, your Majesty! "You want to make the decision for chenqie? Wuuu, this rascal from Heaven Realm actually wants to take chenqie lightly …
Ah, I'm going up the mountain to meet the tiger, and I'm going down to the river to wet my shoes …" Every time he saw a beauty, it would take a period of daydreaming. Even though it was just his mental awareness, he would eventually get hit by a beauty this time, right? To molest her? Tsk tsk, I'm also a woman!
I looked innocently at the Demon Lord, only to see that he was unmoved by the cries of the beauty in his arms, but his bloodshot eyes were fixed on me.
His silver mask was engraved with fine vermilion patterns and shone with a strange light.
At this moment, was he happy or angry?
Based on my understanding of men, I guess that the current Emperor wants to tear me into pieces and throw me into the river to feed the fishes? Who told me to act like a man? Furthermore, it was a man who seemed to have given him a green hat!
I turned to look at the door. Not good! At some point, a group of imperial guards had surrounded the entrance of the Demon Palace. With weapons in their hands, they exuded a murderous aura, completely sealing off the palace. However, since there was a favorite of the Demon Lord in the room, they turned their backs on him and looked out. However, if I wanted to escape or ask for help, it seemed impossible.
"What are you planning by not staying at this banquet and instead entering this sovereign's room late at night? Could it be that you really want to dual cultivate with this sovereign's concubine? "
The Demon Lord's voice was ice-cold, and it carried a subtle sense of familiarity. When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. I felt a little strange … This voice sounded as if he had heard it somewhere … And those eyes, it was as if he had seen them somewhere before …
In the face of the Demon Lord's cold question, I don't seem to be able to avoid it even if I don't come up with a reason, right?
Thus, she cleared her throat and softly said, "Just now, I saw a strange figure at the banquet. Her movements were strange and extremely suspicious, and she was walking all the way to the inner hall on the Sovereign's throne … "I was afraid that he would harm His Majesty, so I followed him here …"
"And then?"
"Then …" I raised my eyes to look at the beauty that was nestled in the Demon Lord's embrace. "Then, I discovered that she had disguised herself as the concubine of the Demon Palace and slipped onto the bed on the Sovereign's throne!"
