5 Snake and Rabbit 4 (1/2)
”Eh? His Majesty is heading out to the human world?” Bai Lin and Bai Mu were astounded. That shut-in demon king was actually heading out? In their entire lifetime, he had not taken one step outside of that castle, but now he was actually going to the human world!
”Yep!” Yin Mei replied energetically. Finally she would be able to start this mission. She wanted to quickly finish in order to kiss this world goodbye, but she got the feeling that it would take a really long time to finish. These xianxia protagonists, with their cockroach-like vitality, really wouldn't go down so easily. But she wouldn't let those thoughts dampen her excitement. After all, those thoughts could be left for later. For now, she would finally be meeting that scourge of a male and female lead, along with their lovely treasures...
Bai Lin and Bai Mu looked at each other, then looked at Yin Mei, who was still caught up in her happiness. They knew that it was definitely her who had put some sort of thoughts into the demon king's head for him to head out to the human world, but they weren't sure what she did in order to convince him to actually leave the house.
In the end, the preparations to leave were finished in only a couple of hours. After all, anything that needed to be packed could just be sucked into a storage ring with the wave of a hand. As for travel, who needed to bother with that when they had on their side a high level immortal who could manipulate space? That's right, the demon king actually practiced the space laws, as well as the laws of darkness. The only people that would be accompanying them where the demon king's hidden guards and the chef uncle. Even though the demon king himself didn't really need protection, they were useful in taking care of troublesome matters that the demon king couldn't be bothered to raise a hand in. In other words, they were joined by Yin Mei under this title of errand boy.
As for all other matters, of course, Yin Mei would be the one taking care of it. Bai Yu's parents wouldn't be coming along, and would be left behind to house sit.
Yin Mei, the demon king, the chef uncle, and the handful of hidden guards were standing together in the palace courtyard. Yin Mei was wearing a thin white veil for going out, though it was probably unnecessary. The demon king was also wearing a veil, though his was black. In addition, he was actually properly dressed and his chest was covered up by a black and red robe. Even with the veil, he still looked like an evil beauty that could seduce others with a simple glance.
When the demon king waved his pale and slender hand, the space before them seemed to fold and distort in on itself before it finally formed a dark portal that no doubt led the human world. Just looking at those actions and that portal, Yin Mei felt that she was being enlightened in the laws of space. Bai Yu, like most of the rabbit clan, focused her studies on the laws of nature and wind, as they were suitable for her constitution. Knowing that even if she studied the laws of space, she wouldn't make many gains in it, Yin Mei shook her head and followed the demon king and his hidden guards into the portal.
Emerging on the other side, they were in a place that looked like a manor garden. The place was neat and exuded a sense of peaceful, dignified luxury. But, for Yin Mei, who had already gotten used to the splendor of the demon king's palace and the natural beauty of the Jade Bamboo Valley, she only glanced around a few times before thinking that the sight was slightly disappointing. She thought that they were probably in the Li Kingdom, and this was the best that the small kingdom could do.
But Yin Mei predicted they would be staying here for a long time, so she would surely make sure to decorate it with all sorts of good things. The manor was already well furnished, but all the items were ordinary and in Yin Mei's opinion, rather low quality. In Li Kingdom, these materials were actually considered fairly high quality, but they simply couldn't be put in the eyes of this rich young miss whose eyes had already been corrupted by the riches she saw everyday at the demon king's palace and her own home.
The biggest issue, though, was probably the difference in the qi in the air. The qi inside the mustard seed dimension made by the demon king was thick and perfect for cultivating in, so suddenly stepping into an area with such thin qi immediately made Yin Mei a bit worried. After all, during this period of time, the demon king's cultivating would surely slow down. Yin Mei then disagreed with herself after thinking for a bit. Actually, at the demon king's level, this small amount wouldn't make much of a difference. It would be better to quickly get their hands on the treasure or the female lead. Only then would it be possible for the demon king to quickly ascend.
Renewing her determination, Yin Mei busied herself with replacing the furniture in the manor and redecorating with a vigor. She finished the demon king's room first in the blink of an eye, to which he quickly buried himself in the bed without another word. Yin Mei once again felt that the demon king was strange and didn't seem to match the image of cold, cruel, and ruthless that she thought a demon king would have. Rather, wasn't he just a lazy shut-in?
Yin Mei, while busy refurnishing the manor, also proceeded to check on the circumstances of the female lead. ”Oh? Ohhhh? It's this event!” She muttered to herself as she watched the events on the screen. Would it be a good time to drag the demon king out with her? Or should she go alone? No, she should still check with the demon king first. If he's willing, that'll be good, but if he isn't, then there shouldn't be much of a problem. Although he would be missing out on a chance to flaunt in front of the female lead, it wasn't a super important event and there would be more chances in the future.
Thinking this, Yin Mei quickly headed over to the demon king's room, barging in without knocking this time, forgetting her manners in her excitement. Well, in the first place, knocking had never been necessary. It was only because she was afraid of the demon king that she had been so polite, but now that she was getting more used to his presence, she was gradually dropping formalities with him.
”Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I'm going out to play!” She said, opening up the curtain that covered the bed, immediately regretting such a decision. She was faced with the gorgeous view of a sleepy beauty, whose robe was messily worn, XXX and OOO parts showing to the world. Yin Mei immediately received a one hit K.O., unable to handle the sheer power of this scene. She even felt that if the female lead ever witnessed this scene, perhaps the male lead wouldn't have ended up being the ninth prince, but the demon king instead. That was just how high of an attack power the demon king possessed in his current state. She quickly closed the curtain before her nose started bleeding, covering her blushing face with two hands.
Unlike Yin Mei, who had received one million points of damage, the demon king didn't seem bothered, opening up the curtain again and standing up. ”What is it?” He asked in a sleepy voice, his lazy eyes exuding a unique sort of charm.
”Please cover yourself up...!” Was what Yin Mei wanted to say, but in the end she didn't, merely averting her eyes from him. ”I'm going to the auction house to play.” She said.
