Chapter 20 Flying Bird Qingling
There are a total of ten demon kings in the demon world, and the cultivation of the other nine is not inferior to the one in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
"So you keep asking why your parents were arrested and rushed to the demon world in a hurry?"
I have to say, Jade Rabbit is a bit impulsive in doing this!
But Ye Qingxuan also appreciates it. It's also a good fairy with filial piety to be able to disregard everything for the sake of family.
"Hmm."
Jade Rabbit has no choice. Both of her parents have been arrested, and of course, she knows the reason best by asking the person herself, so she is in such a hurry to rush to the demon world.
"Let's go. We'll go meet that demon king with you."
With a wave of his hand, Ye Qingxuan intended to get to the bottom of this matter. "By the way, did that demon king arrest your parents?"
Figure out who went straight to their residence and just did it without any hesitation.
"Tiger King, the largest palace in the east should be his, Qingling should be right," Jade Rabbit has always had a particularly good friend in the demon world, and has been relying on her to pass on messages for years.
Just as Ye Qingxuan was about to ask who Qingling was, he heard Jade Rabbit's excited voice.
"She's here."
The chirping of birds filled the sky, and soon a little bird flew down and transformed into a pure and lovely girl, causing Zhang Huan to drool.
I can't believe it, Zhang Huan, who usually talks nonsense and acts pretentious, actually likes purity!
The clothing of goose yellow complements Qingling even more, making her look even more spirited and charming. If it weren't for the strong demon energy emanating from her at the moment, Zhang Huan would have thought she was a fairy from some immortal mountain.
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you at least tone it down a bit? People are looking at you."
It's really unbearable. Is Zhang Huan not afraid of being seen as a bad person the first time he meets someone?
A lewd face, are you sure that's the first impression you want to give to others?
Worry to death!
"Jade Rabbit You're here."
Sisters meeting naturally calls for a hug. After exchanging pleasantries, they shared some information. Qingling naturally also learned why Ye Qingxuan and the others came to the demon realm, but her thoughts were not as optimistic as Jade Rabbit's, as she felt that they came here purely to see the bustling scene. As for helping...
Qingling looked Ye Qingxuan up and down and came to a conclusion.
If this person doesn't come to cause trouble and drag them down, then it's all good.
As for Zhang Huan, the Hermit-Immortal cultivation is also dispensable. In the end, isn't Jade Rabbit bringing along a deadweight this time?
Things have come to this point, we can't just leave people here. Not to mention that Jade Rabbit can't do it, even Qingling can't do such a thing by herself.
"Now Tiger King's house is heavily guarded. Let's go outside and see what the situation is. We can't rush in recklessly."
On the way, Qingling repeatedly urged Ye Qingxuan and Zhang Huan, fearing that they might act impulsively and ruin everything.
"Zhang Huan, come and touch my brain quickly, is it still there?"
Now I'm starting to doubt my own intelligence, which makes Ye Qingxuan think that his brain has run away from home.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, boss, your brain hasn't run away from home, it's staying put."
Zhang Huan also understood Ye Qingxuan's meaning, and answered Ye Qingxuan's question very seriously, which made Qingling very angry.
"They just love to joke around, Qingling, don't take it to heart."
Having walked alongside Jade Rabbit for some time, Ye Qingxuan also knew Ye Qingxuan's temper. He particularly disliked people nagging in his ear. Right now, he was just using Zhang Huan to mock Qingling, but next time, he probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
Since everyone knows each other and are friends, Jade Rabbit doesn't want to cause any unpleasantness and quickly acts as a peacemaker.
"Alright, I know you're worried about them causing trouble, but they know their limits, so don't worry."
After comforting Qingling, Jade Rabbit turned around and gave Ye Qingxuan and the others a stern look, signaling them to calm down.
"Tell her not to provoke me." Ye Qingxuan mouthed to Jade Rabbit.
Originally just a little bird, it kept chattering without being asked, and always just a sentence or two, which was really annoying. And this Qingling didn't know how to restrain itself, completely unaware of its own faults. It had to be pointed out, otherwise Ye Qingxuan was afraid that his ears would get calloused from this all the way.
He's not Zhang Huan, so he's not interested in Qingling at all. He has no feeling for it, and the ordinary Ye Qingxuan can't understand how Zhang Huan can drool over it. Strange train of thought... Fortunately, Zhang Huan is not the kind of person who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty, so he lost his initial fondness for Qingling as well.
In the midst of the conversation, they also arrived outside the palace of Tiger King, looking at the fairy henchmen with heavy guards. Ye Qingxuan suspected that something more complicated had happened to Jade Rabbit's parents.
"How do we get in?"
Seeing his own parents being locked inside, but Jade Rabbit couldn't enter, he could only feel anxious.
"At night, I scoped out the place. They will be changing shifts at midnight, and there will be a lax moment in guarding for about fifteen minutes. That's when we will sneak in, undetected."
Qingling's idea was simple, but Ye Qingxuan and the others didn't mean to mock her. There weren't many options at the moment, so they could only go along with Qingling's proposal for now.
Chapter 21: The Palace of Tiger King
"Alright, then we'll wait until nightfall to make our move."
In a moment of urgency and calm, Jade Rabbit took a moment to compose himself.
"Rabbit, when did you meet this bird?" With nothing else to do, Zhang Huan asked casually.
Apart from the initial amazement, Zhang Huan no longer had any other unusual feelings towards Qingling, so he asked out of boredom.
"When did you meet?"
After thinking for a moment, it seems that she didn't know Qingling for a very long time either. It feels like they just inexplicably met. Jade Rabbit also doesn't know why she trusts Qingling so much, as if she was bewitched by her.
It's really strange, why does she have this kind of thought!
Shaking his head vigorously to dispel the unrealistic idea, he steadied himself and said, "Qingling is my best friend. In the demon world, besides my parents, I don't know anyone else. As long as Qingling is willing to play with me." The implication was that other people in the demon world minded Jade Rabbit insisting on cultivating immortality, so they ordered the younger generation in the family not to associate with Jade Rabbit, which ultimately led to Rabbit spirit being completely isolated. After meeting Qingling, there was no one else left. As the only good friend, they had always kept in touch while Jade Rabbit was cultivating immortality, but they rarely met.
"It's clear that you trust this friend a lot." Indeed, there's only one person around me, and I can only choose to trust them.
"Yeah, Qingling has a hard time in the demon world, so I share everything good I have with her."
Jade Rabbit quite likes this feeling, at least someone cares about me, and I'm not alone.
This is different from the concern of biological parents. If you really want to explain it, Jade Rabbit itself doesn't understand what kind of feeling it is.
It's very strange, as if there is a voice always telling her to treat Qingling well, she is your only friend.
With doubts, midnight quickly arrives.
Tiger King The guards of the palace are indeed as Qingling said, quite lax.
"Let's go, we're going in."
Seizing the opportunity, Qingling led Ye Qingxuan and the others to sneak into the palace inside.
It's no wonder it's the mansion of the Tiger King, inside everywhere is engraved with tiger head, the prototype of the tiger is vividly carved on the mural with a majestic presence.
Ye Qingxuan and the others entered a side hall, but even in just a side hall, the walls were filled with tigers. It's not hard to guess that the Tiger King is quite narcissistic.
Other people's mansions might have some luxurious and precious furniture, but he's different, all of it is himself, in various forms and shapes without repetition.
How many different shapes do you need to fill the entire palace? The style of the drawings along the way is basically the same as the side hall, with a wide variety of patterns... "I didn't expect Tiger King's hobby to be quite unique!"
Like to appreciate himself, and also force others to continue to appreciate himself...
Complaining aside, Ye Qingxuan has not forgotten the purpose of this trip, he must find Jade Rabbit's parents.
"Where are Jade Rabbit's parents?"
After walking for a while and avoiding several patrols, it seems like Qingling didn't take them directly to their destination, as if intentionally taking a detour.
"What about my parents... they're not far ahead."
At first, Qingling didn't know what Ye Qingxuan was asking, but then she realized and pointed directly to a place, "That's where Tiger King detains prisoners, and your uncle and aunt are locked up inside."
"That's enough waiting, let's go." Zhang Huan looked around and didn't see any little demons guarding the prison. "Strange, does Tiger King really think his home is so safe that the prison doesn't need anyone to guard it? His confidence must be through the roof!"
"The prison is a heavily guarded place with a barrier. Only Tiger King can open it." Brought to the entrance of the prison, Qingling looked apologetically at Jade Rabbit, "My cultivation is low, I can't open this kind of barrier that requires huge demon power."
With low cultivation, Qingling indicated that she could only help Jade Rabbit up to this point. Whether they can open Tiger King's barrier depends on Jade Rabbit's cultivation.
"I'll give it a try."
When it comes to his own parents, Jade Rabbit had to go ahead even if he wasn't sure.
After a frenzy of actions, as fierce as a tiger, it was still of no use.
The transparent barrier in front of them not only remained unscathed, but also absorbed Jade Rabbit's spiritual power and counterattacked. Jade Rabbit instantly fell to the ground, suffering from the backlash of its own power. "...Are you okay?"
Lifting the person up, Ye Qingxuan reached out to touch the barrier in front of him, but was stopped by someone before his hand could make contact.
"Hey, mortal, if you don't want to die, I advise you not to touch Tiger King's barrier," the person warned.
Qingling never believed that this mortal could be of any help, and now Ye Qingxuan's actions just confirmed her initial thoughts.
"These two are here to cause trouble!
Seeing Ye Qingxuan seemingly not heeding his advice, Qingling angrily stepped forward to pull them apart and give them a lesson.
"I told you not to touch the barrier..."
She hadn't finished speaking when the previously indestructible barrier shattered at Ye Qingxuan's touch.
"Is that all?"
Very impressive?
It feels as fragile as a bubble. Ye Qingxuan couldn't understand why this barrier was so powerful as they claimed, yet it disappeared with just a touch?
Chapter 22: Effortless
This fragile barrier really left Ye Qingxuan feeling confused...
"How...how did it open?!!"
Qingling looked at Ye Qingxuan in disbelief, "Did you hide your cultivation?"
It's impossible!
Qingling feels unbelievable to have such a powerful friend as Jade Rabbit.
"Um... I didn't do anything," Ye Qingxuan felt a little embarrassed. He just wanted to come up and see what the touch of the barrier was like, and out of curiosity, he touched it, not expecting it to break like this.
He's also very helpless!
"Could it be that the barrier was shattered by Jade Rabbit attacking it, causing the demonic energy to weaken and making it break with just one touch from the boss." Analyzing it, the more Zhang Huan talked, the more he felt it was possible, as if afraid that Qingling wouldn't believe it, "You all saw it on the way here, boss Ye is just a mortal, how could he dispel barriers and such? Just thinking about it, you know it's impossible!" After saying a few words, Zhang Huan let out a long sigh of relief.
Giving cover to the boss is really not something a normal person would do, but there's no choice. Ye Qingxuan wants to experience life without letting too many people know that he's actually a big shot.
"Yes, it must be like that. Jade Rabbit, I didn't expect that your cultivation has reached the point where you can break through the barrier specially set by Tiger King. That's amazing!"
Even if you beat Qingling to death, she wouldn't believe that it was Ye Qingxuan who broke the barrier. In comparison, she still believes Zhang Huan's explanation.
"I... I don't know what's going on either."
Since Qingling said so, let's just go with it. It's not the time to dwell on this barrier anyway. The key is that they can go in now, and she will soon be able to see her parents.
"Let's go."
Hastily taking the lead, Ye Qingxuan went in first.
Since he was already at the front, it was natural for him to go in first, which made Qingling behind him quite anxious, as if this place was not a dungeon but the treasure trove of the Tiger King.
"Boss, wait for me!" Supporting Jade Rabbit, she carefully followed behind.
Upon entering, it was very spacious, more like a place for storing precious items than a dungeon.
"Qingling, are you sure this is a dungeon?" Although it was a question, Ye Qingxuan looked around and found no one detained, let alone Jade Rabbit's parents.
After a while without getting a response, Ye Qingxuan turned around and saw Qingling with a strange smile on her lips, realizing instantly that Jade Rabbit might have really been deceived by this demon.
"Tell me, what do you want by luring Jade Rabbit to the demon realm by all means?"
Now that it has come to this, Jade Rabbit must know that he has been deceived, even if he is foolish.
"Why, Qingling, why did you lie to me, to my father and mother?"
With tears in his eyes, Jade Rabbit looked at Qingling in disbelief, still unwilling to believe that she would deceive him. Could it be that hundreds of years were all just her illusion?
Impossible!
"Qingling Do you have any difficulties? Just tell me, I will believe you as long as you say it!"
"..." This is so melodramatic!
Ye Qingxuan I can't bear to watch. Even in this situation, you still don't believe it. Do you really need someone to find a reason to deceive you?
To be honest, Jade Rabbit is actually a masochist with a tendency for abuse, right?
But then again, after hundreds of years, not being able to see through a person, it shows her intelligence...
But you can't say Jade Rabbit is not intelligent, it could also be that Qingling is at a high level, constantly using tactics to firmly trap this weak and pitiful rabbit.
"Hmph, there's no hidden agenda, it's just as you see it."
Qingling didn't bother to pretend anymore, "I just used you to open the Treasure Pavilion of Tiger King. I didn't expect my cultivation to have improved so much over the years that I could even break through Tiger King's barrier. I underestimated you."
No, it should be underestimating the power of an immortal.
The power of spiritual energy is different from the power of demonic energy, and the demonic power is even more powerful. If, if she had cultivated immortality in the first place, maybe she wouldn't be living so lowly and being despised by others. "You... you came to the Tiger King's Treasure Pavilion, are you here to steal things?"
Jade Rabbit can't understand why Qingling would do this. Doesn't she know that if Tiger King finds out, she won't be able to stay in the demon world anymore? Isn't she just asking for trouble?
"If Tiger King finds out, you'll have no way out."
Even though Qingling used her, Jade Rabbit still doesn't want her to be in danger. This concern can be considered as a return for the years of companionship. After this, they will have no more relationship.
Although I am sad, the Jade Rabbit will not forgive Qingling for this behavior. If she had been clear from the beginning that she wasn't using me, maybe there would have been a chance to turn things around.
Now, it's too late...
"Hmph, once I get Donghuang Zhong, I won't be afraid even if the Tiger King or the entire Top Ten Demon Kings of the Demon Realm come after me!"
I don't have time to talk nonsense with these idiots. Qingling started searching inside Treasure Pavilion.
"Donghuang Zhong?"
Damn, it can't be the Donghuang Zhong he's thinking of, right?
Zhang Huan I'm shocked, I didn't expect the demon realm to have an ancient divine weapon Donghuang Zhong, no wonder Qingling is willing to deceive Jade Rabbit and bring her here to try her luck, even at the risk of offending her.
In the demon realm, besides the strength of the demon kings, there is no one who can confront each other. Qingling herself is an annoying presence in the demon realm, and no one will help her.
So she thought of Jade Rabbit, hoping to use the spiritual power on the immortal to break the barrier of the Treasure Pavilion. In case Jade Rabbit's cultivation is not enough, she also has a backup plan.
"Even if it is, Donghuang Zhong can only be mine!" She has put in so much effort, even selling herself to the Demon King, betraying the demon realm to willingly become a lackey of the demon world, all for the sake of enhancing her own power!
If anyone dares to snatch it from her now, Qingling will kill that person!
Anyway, Jade Rabbit is already half-dead, and the other Hermit-Immortal has also been drugged by her and cannot use spiritual power.
As for Ye Qingxuan, this mortal...hmm, Qingling never really paid any attention to him.
The scorned Ye Qingxuan touched his nose, as if being too weak wasn't a good choice, always being looked down upon, it's really distressing!
"It seems like you don't intend to let us go."
The declarative sentence directly revealed Qingling's final intention. The latter hesitated for a moment, but then thought that they were no longer a threat and became arrogant again, directly admitting, "Yes, you're right. I didn't plan to let you leave here alive." Qingling had already made up her mind. When she found Donghuang Zhong, she would directly kill Ye Qingxuan and the other two, pretending that they had stolen Donghuang Zhong in order to buy herself some time.
Qingling has already been corrupted and doesn't care about much anymore. Initially, she just wanted to push Jade Rabbit out to be sacrificed to the Demon King if her cultivation wasn't strong enough to break the seal, using the power of the demon realm to break it.
In fact, Qingling has always been more inclined towards the second option. She really wants to see the look of despair on Jade Rabbit's face, as she has been in despair many times over the past three hundred years.
Chapter 23: The Capsizing of the Friendship Boat
Now she suddenly has this idea and really wants to see how others despair. It must be very interesting!
But Qingling never expected that her carefully laid plans would be inadvertently disrupted by Jade Rabbit, causing the outer barrier of Tiger King and Treasure Pavilion to be broken. It's hard to imagine how much Jade Rabbit's cultivation has advanced in just a few years, which only fuels Qingling's jealousy even more.
All of this was supposed to be hers. She was supposed to cultivate and ascend to the heavenly court to enjoy the blessings of the heavenly realm, not endure the oppression of her own kind in the demon realm.
When it comes to Qingling's jealousy, everything is traceable. Jade Rabbit's departure, combined with the oppression from her own kind, has made Qingling increasingly radical, often doing many inexplicable things.
There's no way around it. Qingling's life in the demon realm wasn't much better than Jade Rabbit's before. They were both isolated. It wasn't until Jade Rabbit ascended to the Heavenly Court that Qingling no longer had anyone to suffer and endure bullying with. The more she was mistreated, the more extreme her personality became. She blamed everything on Jade Rabbit. Clearly, she wasn't as miserable before Jade Rabbit ascended, and now that the first pitiful person has left, she believes she's next in line for misfortune.
"I rely on, boss, I didn't believe it when you said last time that women are like tigers, but now it seems that when this woman gets vicious, she's even more poisonous than a scorpion!"
She actually wants to wipe them all out, without even considering whether boss Ye agrees or not.
Anyway, Zhang Huan looks at Qingling like she's a fool, this woman is absolutely certain that they are doomed, and at this moment she's just about to empty her pockets and tell them everything, completely clear and detailed.
"Donghuang Zhong is a good thing, but are you sure you have the blessings to enjoy it?"
In Ye Qingxuan's view, Qingling is purely thankless, and in the end, it's not worth it at all, causing harm to oneself and others.
"Hmph, I'm sure I know it's a good thing, but I advise you not to have any crooked ideas. I drugged you as soon as I came in."
Speaking of this Qingling, she seems quite pleased with herself, as if she is happy for easily achieving her goal. "This medicine is specifically for dealing with immortals. Once taken, it will deplete their spiritual power and break all the meridians in their body, leading to death."
"You wicked woman, how dare you use such despicable means!"
No wonder Zhang Huan felt something was off with his body. At first, he thought it was due to his discomfort in the demon realm, but the real reason was waiting for him here!
It's really despicable!
He actually looked like a good person at first, but he really lived up to boss Ye's words, "haven't experienced the harsh reality of society"!
It turns out that the boss saw through Qingling's ulterior motives from the beginning and kindly reminded me.
He, on the other hand, was only concerned with looking at beautiful women... It's true that you learn from your mistakes. Zhang Huan expressed that he will fully implement the ancient concept of "women are tigers" in the future! "It's just in case," said Qingling without any reservations, with Zhang Huan and Jade Rabbit having lost their fighting ability.
As for Ye Qingxuan, the reason why she didn't take action against him is purely because he poses no threat to her. Wherever he is placed, he is just a decoration and not worth her attention.
After searching again and again, Qingling still hasn't seen a trace of Donghuang Zhong. Her tone is starting to become impatient, "Where is he? Where is he placed?"
She had clearly inquired and Tiger King had placed Donghuang Zhong inside this Treasure Pavilion because there is a barrier set up by him personally, which is very secure.
The guess was never as fast as reality. Qingling never thought that Tiger King didn't even consider Donghuang Zhong at all.
Even if their movements were very small, Tiger King would eventually notice that his barrier had been broken. He hurried over and saw a few little thieves inside his Treasure Pavilion. The leader was still muttering something about this "Zhong."
Hearing this, what else did Tiger King not understand? It seemed that they had come to steal his precious Donghuang Zhong!
This is outrageous!
"Are you looking for this?"
Saying that, Tiger King took out the palm-sized Donghuang Zhong and placed it in front of Qingling.
"Donghuang Zhong?! It's really Donghuang Zhong!"
Qingling was overjoyed and ran over to pick up Donghuang Zhong, but ended up empty-handed. "Give it to me, give me Donghuang Zhong... Tiger, Tiger King!"
When did Tiger King notice her?
Seeing the Tiger King Qing Ling in front of him, he was almost dumbfounded. How could he be discovered so quickly? But this is not the time to think about these things.
"Want to run!"
A small bird also ran in front of him, quite brave!
Tiger King caught Qingling, who was trying to escape her transformation, and held her in the palm of his hand, tightening his fingers as if he was about to crush her to death.
"Stop!"
At the critical moment, Jade Rabbit stepped forward to stop Tiger King. She couldn't bear to watch Qingling die in front of her, feeling guilty.
"Who are you, and are you in cahoots with her?"
Just now, Tiger King really wanted to crush the bird spirit in his hand, but being interrupted made him change his mind. "Tell me, who sent you to steal my treasure?"
After sizing up Jade Rabbit, Tiger King finally realized her identity belatedly. "Tell me, what trick does the heavenly realm want to play this time? Bullying the demon realm because there's no one here?"
Yes, besides those high and mighty immortals in the heavens, who else would pay such close attention to the happenings in their demon realm, and even know that Donghuang Zhong is in their hands? Even though he has been so discreet, he was still discovered. Are those immortals ever going to stop? If they have the ability, they should come openly and fight fair and square!
Although their demon realm has not yet recovered from the great war, they won't back down if they come knocking on their door.
It has to be said that this Tiger King is not only extremely narcissistic, but also has a particularly rich imagination. In just a few words, he has condemned them as spies sent by the heavens.
"We are indeed people from the heavenly realm, but as you can see, Tiger boss, we are also victims."
Seeing that they were about to be completely convicted, Zhang Huan looked at Ye Qingxuan who didn't move and didn't know what the boss was thinking. He could only come out to clarify the situation.
At the very least, Tiger King cannot convict us based solely on one-sided words, which would sow the seeds of disaster for both realms in the future.
"You say it's not, then it's not. Oh, I see, I must be blind not to see you rummaging through my Treasure Pavilion?"
The barrier was broken by them, and they came to steal things, didn't they?
At this point, no matter how Zhang Huan tries to argue, Tiger King also believes that they were sent by the heavens to cause trouble, all for the sake of his Donghuang Zhong.
Thinking that if I didn't keep the treasure on me at all times but instead put Donghuang Zhong in the Treasure Pavilion, those little thieves would probably have already taken the treasure and escaped.
Just the thought of the big shot waking up and finding out that he lost Donghuang Zhong, the demon world would probably suffer a catastrophe because of his momentary mistake.
The demon world would no longer have a foothold for the Tiger Clan, a consequence that Tiger King cannot bear and must not allow to happen!
Chapter 24 The leader of witches.
"......"
Throughout the whole journey, Ye Qingxuan felt like an invisible person. Not only did Qingling not pay any attention to him, even Tiger King came over and didn't even look at him.
Sigh, without strength, one is so insignificant, weak, pitiful, and helpless...
Ahem, getting off track.
"That..."
"Who are you again?"
The sudden voice startled Tiger King quite a bit, but upon seeing that Ye Qingxuan had no spiritual power, he quickly suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat.
"Why would a mere mortal come to the demon realm? Are you also in cahoots with them?"
As for why Tiger King would ask about the soul, it's because as soon as he came in, he didn't even notice Ye Qingxuan at all. If he hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have glanced in his direction at all.
This is awkward. Apparently, knowing that he poses no threat, he simply treats himself as invisible, which is unacceptable!
Ye Qingxuan has decided that it's time to show his true strength, and he's ready for today! So, with his eloquence, Ye Qingxuan successfully leads Tiger King astray, portraying himself as a weak and innocent human who has mistakenly entered the demon world. "..." Wait, boss, this isn't how your script should be!
You've been acquitted, so what should we do?!! Successfully extracting himself, Ye Qingxuan then begins to deceive Tiger King, "Look at the three of them, clearly not from the same group. If they were really spies from the heavenly realm sent to steal treasures, they wouldn't have sent three people with internal conflicts, right?"
The truth is obvious with just a little thought, and Tiger King is not without a brain. After Ye Qingxuan pointed this out, he also understood.
"So the two who got injured came to help me catch the thief after seeing my Treasure Pavilion being broken into?" Tiger King felt that his speculation was getting closer to the truth, and even the course of events seemed to be just as he had thought.
A kind of mysterious self-confidence arose.
"Uh... hehe, if you say so, then yes."
The development of the situation was also within Ye Qingxuan's expectations. Tiger King imprisoned Qingling, but Zhang Huan and Jade Rabbit were not put in the dungeon. Instead, a few little demons were arranged to guard them closely, waiting for Tiger King to investigate the situation thoroughly and release them once their innocence was confirmed.
As for Ye Qingxuan, he was treated as an honored guest by Tiger King, staying in his mansion and receiving hospitality as if he were a distinguished visitor.
"I really didn't expect things to turn out this way!"
The boss is the boss, Zhang Huan really has the skill to deceive Tiger King. Who knows how many chins he almost dropped just now. Everyone can see that he's deceiving, but Tiger King believes it completely, and doesn't even care that Ye Qingxuan is just a mortal, leaving him as a guest at home. Zhang Huan doesn't know what to say anymore, looking at the differential treatment between himself and the boss, he practically deifies Ye Qingxuan, reaching the pinnacle of admiration.
"What should we do now?" The Jade Rabbit, who had already recovered, frowned. He didn't know what Tiger King had given them to eat, but it seemed that Qingling's medicine had completely resolved it.
"What else can we do? We just have to wait for Tiger King to figure it out and release us," Zhang Huan suggested after some thought. "Or we could be honest with each other and say that you came to find your parents... Wait, that doesn't seem like a good idea either."
In the deadlock, neither of them had any clue and could only pin their hopes on Ye Qingxuan. At this moment, Ye Qingxuan was enjoying the luxury treatment as an honored guest. Not to mention that Tiger King was a creature who enjoyed life, meeting someone who shared the same interests and appreciated his personality was indeed rare.
"Ah, The Ye Brothers, are you not afraid coming to the demon realm alone? If you encounter other demons, I'm afraid you won't have enough flesh and blood left." With that, he took Ye Qingxuan to see his collection. He thought it must be spiritual treasures or valuable treasures, but who knew Tiger King was collecting the fur he shed. The pushed together tiger's earthy yellow fur was collected and made into various small toys, undoubtedly all in the shape of tigers.
"Quite, quite good looking..." Ye Qingxuan patted his own conscience, not blushing or skipping a beat. There was no sign of lying at all.
Being praised, Tiger King laughed heartily, even more pleased. "I told you The Ye Brothers have always had good taste."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Qingxuan remembered that Zhang Huan and the others were still being detained by Tiger King on the other side, and he didn't know how they were doing.
"Don't worry, once I investigate thoroughly, they will be released." When it comes to Tiger King, he becomes serious. After all, stealing Donghuang Zhong has touched the fundamental of the demon world. If that powerful being wakes up and finds out that they haven't taken good care of his treasure, as the king of a clan, he would be in imminent danger.
"You said Donghuang Zhong doesn't belong to you, you are just keeping it for someone else?"
I don't know if it's because Tiger King can't keep a secret or because Ye Qingxuan is a mortal, which lowers his guard. After a conversation, Ye Qingxuan has figured out everything about him.
"Yeah, Great Sage Ta Yi was injured and almost fell a thousand years ago. I risked my life to bring him to the demon realm," Tiger King said, as if lost in memories.
"Taiyi? Dong Huang Taiyi?!"
"Really? Is it the Taiyi he's thinking of?
If I remember correctly, this Dong Huang Taiyi is the leader of the twelve The leader of witches., and there are not many in this world who can seriously injure him and put him into a deep sleep.
"Yes, unfortunately, it was too chaotic at the time and I only had time to bring Great Sage Ta Yi back to the demon realm. As for what happened, I have no idea."
The more we talk, the more speculative Tiger King seems to be. It's clear that Ye Qingxuan is just beating around the bush. The more secrets he reveals, the less he can contain himself, and eventually, he exposes everything. "Since that's the case, you better keep Donghuang Zhong safe. From what I know, that person has a bad temper." "Exactly, that's why I must punish that thief who stole the things!" He actually dared to shift the blame onto him, it's really annoying.
"Right, right, we must definitely punish them severely," said Ye Qingxuan, before changing the subject. "Can you take me to see Great Sage Ta Yi? I may not have spiritual power, but I know some unusual remedies." Since the source of the problem was Donghuang Zhong, Ye Qingxuan planned to go and meet the legendary Dong Huang Taiyi, one of the twelve leaders of witches who only appear under special circumstances.
He is not unwilling to save Zhang Huan and Jade Rabbit, it's just that there are more important things to do now, definitely not out of curiosity...
"Oh, The Ye Brothers can still do this? Come with me quickly!"
Hearing that there is a prescription that can wake up Great Sage Ta Yi, even if it's just one in ten thousand, Tiger King is willing to give it a try.
Let's not talk about whether we can wake up sage for now, at least there are still ways to try in front of him.
Chapter 25 Universal Pill
God knows that for over a thousand years, Tiger King has tried countless methods to wake up Great Sage Ta Yi, but eventually gave up.
Now Ye Qingxuan says he wants to give it a try, Tiger King doesn't doubt it, he is eager for someone to show Great Sage Ta Yi, even if the final result is not ideal, he won't lose a piece of meat.
It's no secret that Dong Huang Taiyi is sleeping in Tiger King Mansion among the Top Ten Demon Kings of the Demon Realm, but everyone has not overly publicized it, for safety and to prevent enemies from finding out he's not dead and coming to seek revenge while he's in a deep sleep.
"The Ye Brothers, come with me."
Brought the person to a side hall. Originally, Tiger King intended to place Great Sage Ta Yi in the main hall for a peaceful slumber, but was afraid that if he woke up and saw the garish murals, it could cost him his life. Therefore, he was moved to a side hall where Tiger King didn't put much effort into.
There was no other way, after all, Tiger King also knew that not everyone had the same taste as Ye Qingxuan, and not everyone was as compatible with him.
Upon entering, a person was lying on a piece of jade, not the half-human, half-beast as the legends described, but truly a human form in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, making him feel that the later generations might have exaggerated the terror of the witch demon.
The person clearly has a beautiful appearance, but there are rumors spreading that they have the image of being half-human and half-beast.
"Has he always been like this?"
After observing for a while, Ye Qingxuan asked a few questions, and Tiger King replied that his demonic body had been damaged, which is why he has been in a deep sleep.
"There is a way, but I ask Tiger King to please refrain a little." Asking the master to refrain is actually to avoid Ye Qingxuan from arousing suspicion in Tiger King. Otherwise, if he sees that he just casually gives some herbs to Dong Huang Taiyi to eat, wouldn't he think that he is not really trying to cure him, just playing around here?" "This..."
I didn't expect that Ye Qingxuan would actually be willing to give it a try, but he requested to avoid the situation. Tiger King thought that in case he harmed Great Sage Ta Yi while he was away, he wouldn't have enough heads left. "Don't worry, Dong Huang Taiyi is The leader of witches., how could I, a mere mortal, harm him?" Saying this undoubtedly reassured Tiger King.
Yes, since Ye Qingxuan is just a mortal, no matter what he does, he cannot harm Dong Huang Taiyi in the slightest, so Tiger King obediently went out to avoid the situation.
inside, now only Ye Qingxuan and the sleeping Dong Huang Taiyi are left.
Taking a closer look, it has to be said that this big shot's appearance is really not bad, of course, it's not comparable to oneself, hehe...
Since he promised Tiger King to try to wake up the big shot, Ye Qingxuan reluctantly gave it a try.
He took out some small pills made from unknown herbs he had leisurely collected on the road, and without any hesitation, gave three of them to Dong Huang Taiyi. With a gulp, the pills dissolved in his mouth and were quickly swallowed. Now, it remains to be seen if they will have any effect. Ye Qingxuan didn't dare to guarantee anything either, as he had only tested them on three people at this stage, two of whom were originally animals.
I don't know what category Dong Huang Taiyi belongs to, sleeping and unable to transform. Otherwise, he would have known, and in the future, when someone needs to be saved, he would have more confidence in himself.
Bang!
The jade bed, which was just fine, was crushed by a force, and the person who came up earlier was already gone.
"I rely on, when did you disappear?" Ye Qingxuan didn't notice at all, and felt a little embarrassed when it was mentioned. I was lost in thought just now...
Tiger King outside also heard the commotion and immediately ran in, "What happened, The Ye Brothers?"
As soon as he came in, he saw the broken stones on the ground. Although this jade bed may not be well-known in the spiritual treasures, it is still a rare treasure. Anyone who sleeps on it can gather energy, regardless of whether you are a god or a demon, you can condense the power suitable for the user according to your origin.
Dong Huang Taiyi has been sleeping on top of it for over a thousand years, and the power he lost is slowly being replenished by this jade bed.
"I don't know, but I guess Dong Huang Taiyi has already woken up..."
If he hasn't woken up, then how can we explain the disappearance of the person? They can't just vanish into thin air, right?
"This, this..." Tiger King was also very confused, as he woke up and didn't see anyone around.
Could it be that he offended Great Sage Ta Yi at some point, and now he's not happy and wants to retaliate as soon as he wakes up?
Thinking about this, he deliberately touched his own head, fortunately it's still attached to his neck.
"Who are you people, and where is this place?"
Above, a voice suddenly appeared, startling Tiger King and causing him to sit down on the ground.
"Are you okay? Get up."
Hello, after all, you are a majestic demon king, the ruler of a clan. How can you be so easily frightened?
Seeing Tiger King like this, it's hard to believe. What did Tiger King rely on to ascend to the position of demon king?
"Great Sage Ta Yi, are you awake?!"
After being pulled up by someone, Tiger King looked up and became excited, "I didn't expect it, The Ye Brothers, you really awakened sage. Quickly, tell me how you did it?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Tiger King regretted it a bit. Ye Qingxuan clearly just told him to avoid it. How he did it must be something he didn't want others to know. Asking like this would only make it difficult for him.
"Oops, The Ye Brothers, I spoke too much. I shouldn't have asked!"
Calling him "big brother" still feels a bit awkward, it makes him feel old. Fortunately, Tiger King is quite understanding. When Ye Qingxuan furrows his brow, Tiger King immediately changes his address back, and he feels much better this way. "It's okay, as long as I can help."
Ye Qingxuan may seem calm on the surface, but inside, he is filled with exclamation marks. Damn, can you guys believe that I just woke up Dong Huang Taiyi?
Don't believe it?
It's okay, the truth is just as you see.
"You guys..."
"What do you mean 'you guys'? Can you speak normally and consider whether modern people can understand? I really hate classical Chinese..."
Seeing Dong Huang Taiyi still floating high above, Ye Qingxuan was not happy and directly pulled him down, causing Tiger King on the side to shiver.
"Brother Ye, pah, Brother Ye, aren't you just a mortal?"
Being able to directly pull down Great Sage Ta Yi shows that Ye Qingxuan's cultivation has surpassed his own. Yet he still foolishly calls him brother, which is truly annoying.
Tiger King now deeply regrets it, but also feels fortunate that he seems to have not offended Ye Qingxuan in any way, which eases his mind a bit.
After a slight smack, Dong Huang Taiyi was startled when he was pulled to the ground. He was in a deep sleep, but occasionally conscious, aware that it would take a long time to repair the damage to his divine body. The outside world had changed drastically.
However, he had not expected the world to change so quickly, to the point where there was no spiritual power... Mortals?!
Chapter 26: The World Changes Too Fast
The world has become a fantasy!
When did mortals become so powerful that they can bring him down with just one hand?
He is a great demon from ten thousand years ago, and the leader of witches. How can he be so insignificant?
The heavenly way is really unfair, giving such a huge boost to the human race. Will the order of the three realms be rewritten in the future?
"Hey, I don't think I used much force. What are you doing lying on the ground? Trying to fake an accident?"
Speaking of Dong Huang Taiyi, the half-human, half-beast appearance looks pretty cool, but the bewildered expression on his face at this moment somewhat ruins the aesthetic of the scene.
"Who... are you?"
Before falling asleep, he remembered being taken to the demon realm by Tiger King, but now where is Tiger King? After searching for a while, Dong Huang Taiyi hesitantly asked the strong tiger demon next to Ye Qingxuan, "Are you Tiger King?" "Yes, yes, sage, you still remember me!"
I didn't expect that Great Sage Ta Yi still remembers me. Tiger King stood up happily. He was just scared by Ye Qingxuan and his legs were weak for a while, but now he can finally stand up.
"You... cough, you've been doing pretty well all these years."
A thousand years ago, Tiger King was not the current Tiger King. At that time, his cultivation was relatively weak and his body was not big. I didn't expect that he underestimated the potential of the tiger clan.
"sage How are you feeling now? This is my mansion. If sage don't mind, you can stay here for a while."
The witch clan is in chaos right now. Tiger King doesn't want Dong Huang Taiyi to get involved in those troublesome matters right after waking up. It's better to recuperate in the demon clan.
"sage, let me introduce you. This is Ye Qingxuan brother. It's him who made you wake up early." He went over to help Dong Huang Taiyi up and stood in front of him.
Doing this is not worrying about angering Dong Huang Taiyi and getting Ye Qingxuan killed. Tiger King is worried that Ye Qingxuan will not tolerate his high and mighty attitude and will end up punishing him. You see, he has been eagerly waiting for Dong Huang Taiyi to wake up, and before he could lead the demon clan back to the heavenly court, if Ye Qingxuan gets upset and directly kills him, Tiger King wouldn't know where to cry. "Oh, so it's the Ye Brothers!"
Unlike what was expected in Tiger King, Dong Huang Taiyi treats Ye Qingxuan exceptionally well, almost to the point of serving him tea and water to keep him warm. Dong Huang Taiyi, now in human form and dressed in black, showed his gratitude to Ye Qingxuan with a gesture of thanks, saying, "I wonder if The Ye Brothers have any needs, and I can help you with anything I can do." Waking him up from the swamp was like saving Dong Huang Taiyi's life, so if he didn't repay this favor, he always felt uneasy.
So far, Dong Huang Taiyi still cannot see Ye Qingxuan's cultivation level clearly, which makes him very worried. If this powerful figure gets upset, he will only end up being beaten. Obviously, Ye Qingxuan's recent display of power has scared Dong Huang Taiyi, and now he is trying hard to please him. Don't think that just because he is the leader of witches, he is tough. In fact, he is also afraid of death. Creatures of their level take thousands of years to achieve success and spend tens of thousands of years to comprehend the workings of the heavens.
It can also be called the origin of the universe. The more you know, the stronger the desire becomes. It would be a waste to die before reaching a certain height in this life.
"Need?"
There is no real need, but Ye Qingxuan does need Dong Huang Taiyi to speak as the original form.
"Um, about Tiger King, I lied at the beginning. I actually know the two people we locked up with you."
Now Ye Qingxuan feels that the time is ripe and there's no need to fool Tiger King anymore.
Originally, he didn't take action at first because he was afraid Tiger King would be extreme and hurt Zhang Huan and Jade Rabbit. After all, they have been drugged by Qingling, and he is not sure if the universal pill he made is really universal.
At the moment, it's not good to act rashly. Then Ye Qingxuan found that the big silly Tiger King was actually easy to deceive, and then the subsequent events happened.
Now that Dong Huang Taiyi has awakened and Tiger King has convinced himself that he is a master, a master would certainly not deign to engage in petty theft. Their suspicion of being in cahoots with Qingling has been dispelled.
Sure enough, Tiger King heard this without suspicion, "So it was all a misunderstanding. I will release your friend The Ye Brothers immediately."
At this moment, Tiger King felt a moment of anger at being deceived, but when he thought of Ye Qingxuan's terrifying ability to take on Dong Huang Taiyi single-handedly, his own little scheming thoughts were strangled in his heart before they could even emerge.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Tiger King quickly regained his efficiency. In less than two minutes, Ye Qingxuan also saw Zhang Huan's silly appearance.
"Boss, wuwu~"
Almost as soon as he saw someone, Zhang Huan pounced as if he had missed Ye Qingxuan for a very long time, as if several years had passed in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
"Um, don't be so excited, I'm not dead yet!"
Even at a funeral, Zhang Huan didn't cry as hard as this. Could it be that Tiger King tortured them?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan checked Zhang Huan, his clothes were intact and he seemed fine, not like he had been abused. The Tiger King who was always attentive to Ye Qingxuan's movements, quickly said that he had only ordered someone to guard them closely, and that he wouldn't act recklessly until the truth of the matter was clear. "What's going on?"
On the side, Dong Huang Taiyi looked bewildered the whole time, as if he were watching a play. He didn't want to appear invisible in front of the experts. Even Tiger King had a strong presence in front of Ye Qingxuan, making The leader of witches feel overshadowed. He felt so embarrassed that he couldn't even flatter anyone. It would be shameful to say it out loud. He needed to quickly make an impression in front of the experts and leave a mark in Ye Qingxuan's heart.
"Great Sage Ta Yi is like this..." Tiger King honestly explained the course of events.
"I didn't expect that there were quite a few people eyeing Donghuang Zhong during my slumber, it's truly despicable!" Dong Huang Taiyi had a broader perspective than Tiger King in thinking about the issue.
While Tiger King believed that Qingling came to steal Donghuang Zhong on behalf of the heavenly realm, Dong Huang Taiyi believed that the situation was definitely not that simple. He felt that this matter might not have been orchestrated by the heavenly court.
"As far as I know, Donghuang Zhong is a divine treasure that has always belonged to Dong Huang Taiyi, and our immortal cultivators in the cultivation world cannot drive Donghuang Zhong because they cultivate spiritual power."
To be honest, at this point, Zhang Huan also calmed down and analyzed the situation rationally and reasonably.
Since he was able to come out, Zhang Huan felt that all of this was thanks to Ye Qingxuan. Obviously, he had already shown his hand in front of Tiger King, and the way Tiger King showed utmost respect to the boss was exactly the same as his attitude in Kunlun Immortal Mountain with Queen Mother of the West.
