Chapter 685: Tie Yi’s Affair

“Ah…” The figure crawling up from the ground hurriedly replied: “If Young Noble desires, I would answer your call anywhere and anytime, so of course we are on the same side.”

This figure was Old Demon Tie Yi from the Celestial Peak Mountain. At this time, he was cheerfully smiling while scratching his head with his ant claw. However, while he was laughing, he was occasionally taking glances at the Imperial Draco-Bull relaxing to the side.

“Really? You will answer my call?” Li Qiye looked at him with one eye and said: “You are not here to steal my bull?”

“Moo!” The bull also lifted its head and let out a cry at Tie Yi. This gesture did scare him quite a bit.

“No, no, no. Young Noble, this is a misunderstanding.” Tie Yi hastily waved his hands and explained: “Even if I was a thousand times more courageous, no, ten thousand times more courageous, I wouldn’t dare to even have such a thought. Moreover, your divine bull is unparalleled and unique in all of eternity. Outside of Young Noble, no one else deserves such a divine bull…”

Tie Yi didn’t only suck up to Li Qiye, he even buttered up the bull as well. His flattery left the bull satisfied and refreshed, so it laid back down in a comfortable posture.

Li Qiye was too lazy to glance at Tie Yi and respond to his incessant flattery, so he said: “I have seen many sycophants, but not many of them were at the same level as you. To be able to make a bull this happy, this is a whole new level of art.”

The old demon only cheerfully laughed after hearing Li Qiye and wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest.

Li Qiye looked at the demon and asked: “You didn’t stay at the Celestial Peak Mountain? Why are you here at the Allpine Mountain?”

“I am here to… “ Tie Yi opened his mouth to say something but was quickly interrupted by Li Qiye with a wave of his sleeve. Li Qiye shook his head and said: “If you are about to say that you are here to work for me, then forget it. If you lie so much, you better watch it or else I’ll squeeze your true form out before crushing it.”

“Ah…” Tie Yi hurriedly responded: “Young Noble is so funny, too funny. I only came here to see the world as well as the grand celebration of the treefather where everyone comes together. This is quite a rare occasion, so I must broaden my horizons. Of course, if Young Noble ever needs my assistance, then I’ll be more than happy to help.”

Li Qiye glanced at him and slowly asked: “You want to see the world by sneaking underground?”

“Well…” Tie Yi forced out a chuckle and replied: “About that… This little demon is only an insignificant character, so I’m afraid they won’t let me in at the front door. Moreover, the Allpine Treefather is merciful and benevolent, so he won’t mind a little guy like me.”

“Is that so?” Li Qiye stroked his chin for a bit while looking at Tie Yi, causing Tie Yi to be frightened out of his mind. His intuition told him that something bad was going to happen.

“If Young Noble has nothing else, then this little, little demon will excuse myself as I don’t want to bother your quiet time.” The jumpy old demon quickly told Li Qiye.

“No rush, no rush, since you took a lot of time to come here, how about we have a nice chat?” Li Qiye leisurely suggested.

When he heard Li Qiye talk about “a nice chat”, the old demon knew that something bad was going to happen for sure. His mind was jumping from fear as he quickly replied: “Young Noble, this little demon doesn’t know anything, so I won’t be able to hold a conversation with you…” He spoke as he retreated backward.

“I won’t stop you if you want to leave, but I might accidentally spill news about someone wanting to dig out the main root. That wouldn’t be good, would it?” Li Qiye leisurely spoke again.

“No, no, no…” Tie Yi was horrified by these words and he hurriedly responded: “Ahh… Young Noble, you are definitely misunderstanding something. I am happy to contribute to your cause any time and anywhere. Just say the words and I’ll even head into a sea of fire without hesitation.”

“Into a sea of fire?” Li Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he burst out in laughter and said: “This fellow daoist, your words are too much. There is no need for you to run into a sea of fire, how could I ask such a thing from you?”

Tie Yi was stricken with fear after seeing Li Qiye’s expression. He made a decision and said: “Young Noble, please spare me. Just tell me what you want me to do directly.”

“So refreshingly straightforward.” Li Qiye clapped his hands and said: “I am a person without a lot of merits, but I do appreciate straightforward people like you. It is quite a rare sight these days, ah.”

At this time, Tie Yi had resigned to his fate as he drooped his head while saying: “What does Young Noble want me to do?”
