Chapter 265 1 (1/2)
A Nasty Evil Thief!
There were nine levels in the Scripture Tower and Ning Fan could enter any one of them arbitrarily. So far, there was only Lu Daochen who finished reading hundreds of thousands of ancient books in the tower. That was why he was also known as Master Lu.
There were 1079 demon characters where most of them are the easiest characters in the first level of the tower.
Starting from the second level of the tower, the number of characters recorded in each level decreased whereas the difficulty for learning each of the characters increased accordingly.
After arriving at the eighth level, Ning Fan had almost thumbed through 7000 demon characters that were recorded in the Demon Codex.
On the ninth level, there were even some special demon characters such as the specific characters of the Dragon Words, the Phoenix Language and the Sparrow Notes... These were the demon characters of the True Spirit Races. Ning Fan noticed that not only did they have complicated formation marks but also the person who wished to learn it probably needs to possess the particular bloodline of the corresponding True Spirit Race.
As such, he could at most study approximately 7000 common demon characters.
There was no one to stop him all the way from the first level to the ninth level. Everything was fine until a whiff of fragrance blew against his face, turning into an amorous female who wore a green-feathered robe. She petulantly blocked in front of him, not allowing him to read more scriptures or scrolls related to the demon characters.
“Have you seen enough? General Lu Bei!”
She was the demon imperial concubine - Wu Yan!
“Oh? Isn’t the demon imperial concubine declining to meet any visitors while staying behind closed doors in the Misty Rain House?Why have you come to the Scripture Tower?” Ning Fan withdrew his hand and secretly activated the Yin Yang Locket.
At the same time this demon concubine was feeling annoyed and perturbed, what she was thinking in her mind was the matter regarding the Imperial Concubine Zi of the Spirit King Palace who was on her way to this land.
With that technique, Ning Fan needed nearly no effort to snoop a big secret from her mind.
Spirit King Palace?! Imperial Concubine Zi?! From prying into the matters of the heart of this demon imperial concubine, Wu Yan, there are probably more than ten demon imperial concubines coming here for the Star of the Celestial Emperor this time. Only female demons who have attained the Divine Transformation Realm will be qualified to become the demon concubines of the Spirit King Palace. In other words, there are at least ten Divine Transformation Realm female demons coming this time. They are indeed perfect cauldrons…
Unfortunately, as soon as the idea emerged within his head, it was immediately extinguished like a tiny spark of fire by himself.
It was because he had also found out how scary the Spirit King Palace was from the demon concubine’s mind. If he snatches the female demons of the palace and enrages the Spirit Emperor, he could wipe out the entire Rain World…
However, the Spirit King seemed to have been injured. In the memories of the demon concubine, the Spirit King had been staying in the palace without setting his foot out once for millions of years. Nobody knew how severe his injuries were. Only some of the concubines who were close to him could enter the secluded hall of the Spirit King. For example, Imperial Concubine Zi. But in spite of that, they also had not seen his true appearance personally before.
Ning Fan was silent. Unless he has some mysterious methods that would not be spotted by gods or ghosts to abduct Imperial Concubine Zi and others secretly, he must not act recklessly.
The two words “not daring” had never existed in his mind before. If he was able to grasp even a bit of possibility of success, he would even dare to kidnap the Spirit King’s demon concubines and do something that the True Spirit Races were afraid to do.
Ning Fan was deep in thought, holding his chin using one of his hands while gazing slightly downwards from her face. Unintentionally, his gaze fell on the well-endowed pair of breasts on the demon concubine in front of him.
Her pretty face looked slightly miffed, thinking that this Lu Bei who dressed like a gentleman was actually a frivolous man.
How dare he stare at my bosom like that? What an impolite man.
“What's the matter that made you to come find me?” The demon concubine’s tone became colder.
“I want to ask Empress how much do you know about Lu Daochen, the Demon Marshal Lu Wu and also the Star of the Celestial Emperor?”
The demon concubine angrily smiled.
Is this Lu Bei a fool?
What makes him think that I will tell him about my understanding towards Lu Daochen and Demon Marshal Lu Wu?
Besides, how is it possible that I will share the information about the Star of the Celestial Emperor which I gathered myself with another stranger?!
