Chapter 1066: Heaven Relinquish Devil King (2/2)
Li Qiye remained emotionless with his terrifying evil aura surging about like the storm. He didn’t bother answering while the four girls carried his palanquin into the crystal palace.
There were countless lights emanating from the innumerable treasures in this place. Divine stones, heavenly weapons, immortal metals… these treasures were scattered randomly on the ground. It seemed that the devil dragon had no interest in these treasures.
Any cultivator would be driven crazy by the sight of this treasury. Li Qiye, on the other hand, didn’t care about these treasures. The girls were afraid of being seen through, so they maintained a calm demeanor. They focused on carrying Li Qiye’s palanquin without batting an eye at the treasures.
After entering the palace, Li Qiye sat on the throne without any hesitation. The devil dragon didn’t dare to show any slight. He stood to the side in a subservient manner. Nevertheless, he still stole several glances at the girls.
“What? Are you interested in my concubines?” Li Qiye coldly glared at the dragon as he sat proudly on the throne.
The dragon quickly fell to the ground and said: “Please forgive me, My Lord. This little one was only curious for a second.”
The girls blushed a bit after hearing Li Qiye, but they didn’t say anything to maintain the act.
Li Qiye didn’t become angry. He said indifferently: “I came to your place for just one item.”
“May I ask what My Lord desires? Just say the word and this little one will go grab it for you right away.” The dragon responded instantly.
Li Qiye coldly spoke: “In your crystal palace, the only item that can garner my attention is the flower in your Inner Chamber.”
The dragon began to hesitate after hearing the request. It softly spoke: “My Lord, about that, about that…”
Li Qiye waved his sleeve dismissively: “I know you want to use it for your Devil Imploration, so I won’t take it for nothing. Write down your wish. On a different day on the Evil Slaying Platform, your wish shall be on it!”
“Thank you, My Lord.” The dragon no longer hesitated and quickly bowed before going to grab the item.
After a while, the dragon came back and offered a jade box with both hands to Li Qiye. Li Qiye didn’t bother looking at it and accepted it right away.
“My Lord, this is my Devil Prayer.” The dragon respectfully gave Li Qiye his written wish as well. It was a divine jade engraved with his prayer.
“In the future on the Evil Slaying Platform, go to that place and your prayer shall be answered.” Li Qiye spoke coldly.
“Thank you for your grace.” The dragon prostrated again with true grat.i.tude.
With a heartless demeanor, Li Qiye commanded: “Raise the palanquin.”
Having said that, he closed his eyes again with an imperious temperament. This was very suitable for his current ident.i.ty as a Devil King.
The girls didn’t dare to snub him in the slightest. They immediately obeyed and carried the palanquin out of the crystal palace.
Once they left the river, Li Qiye casually threw the jade box to Li Shuangyan and said: “Little girl, this nice item is your reward.”
Li Shuangyan was a bit surprised. She calmed down, caught the box, and opened it. A sacred light emerged in an overwhelming yet flawless manner. Anyone who saw it would feel pure inside, as if nothing was holier than this item.
It was a lotus flower that resembled a jade carving. It was flawless — truly perfect.
“What kind of immortal lotus is this?” Even those who didn’t know better could tell that it was extraordinary from just a glance.
“Earthmother Sacred Lotus.” Li Qiye lightly said: “This flower is very useful for you since you cultivate the Void Imperfection Physique. With it, you will be able to unravel the more mystical aspects of the physique.”
“Thank you, Young n.o.ble.” Li Shuangyan thanked him and put away the jade box.
“Young n.o.ble swindled this immortal lotus from that devil dragon.” Chen Baojiao said: “If it finds out, it will definitely go crazy.”
Li Qiye disguising himself as Heaven Relinquish to trick the lotus from the dragon was too clever. He didn’t need to expend any effort and still managed to obtain such a peerless item.
“No, I didn’t lie to him.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “Though I am not the real Heaven Relinquish, I didn’t truly deceive him.”
This answer left the group a bit confused. They didn’t understand him.
“But you are not the real Heaven Relinquish.” Chen Baojiao commented.
“Yes, I’m not him.” Li Qiye smirked: “But the real Heaven Relinquish will help fulfill their prayers.”
