The yellow croaker guy was leaning in front of the door and yawning, and when he saw the two hurried to meet them, he instructed the rat demon to pedal the rollers and start the elevator, while smiling: "Oh dear, what do you need, even if you tell me, the little demon will buy it for you. Come on, how dare you trouble yourself to make a trip in person?"
Meng Xueli waved his hand, and the yellow croaker got the reward and left with satisfaction.
Meng Xueli was in charge of posing, and Ji Xiao was in charge of taking out the money. This process has been practiced many times, and the cooperation has become very proficient.
When I woke up in the morning, the three and a half demons couldn’t find Changchun Peak’s master and apprentice. They were very nervous, for fear that they would find trouble with Tu Jiang. After all, the Tuo Yao was ferocious and cruel, and would attack the demon if they disagreed. Changchun Peak’s master and apprentice are gentle and generous. its opponent.
At this time, I was relieved to see the two of them come back leisurely with their food boxes.
Bi You asked, "Elder Meng, when will we run, ahem, set off?" He originally wanted to say "run", but felt it was too direct.
Meng Xueli: "No hurry, eat first." The food box was opened, and the delicate dishes were fragrant.
Ruan Hui pulled the rabbit ears and said, "I'm so embarrassed." But his eyes glowed at the carrot cake.
Chu Hua dragged her injured right leg and jumped to the table with one leg, overjoyed: "Wow, dried kippers from Pearl Tower!"
The three half-demon enjoy the exquisite breakfast in White River City, temporarily forgetting all their troubles.
Meng Xueli finally opened a meal comfortably, ate and drank enough, and put down his chopsticks.
Ji Xiao said, "Come on."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a noisy demon sound downstairs.
The half-monsters looked down from the terrace, and saw that the demons on the street retreated one after another, making way for a passage, and a team of shrimp soldiers and crabs would come and surround Wangjiang Tower.
The three half-demon were amazed, and Bi You hurriedly asked, "What is this for?"
Meng Xueli tidied up the hem and cuffs of his clothes: "King Baihe treats you as a guest, a day trip to the Crystal Palace."
The movement downstairs became louder, and the half-demons were confused and frightened, and they were so frightened that they showed the true forms of civet cats, kingfishers, and gray rabbits:
"Aren't you asking us?"
"To die, have we committed a crime?"
Ji Xiao patted the naughty Taoist companion on the back of the neck and comforted the half-demons: "If you are afraid, you can shrink your body and hide it in my sleeve."
Meng Xueli didn't want to hide her from the demon, so she immediately put on a gorgeous robe with long sleeves that reached her knees, and said, "My place is spacious."
The mirage in his sleeve breathed out a strong demonic energy, giving the half-demon a strong sense of security, so they jumped in one after another. At the end, Bi You's voice came out: "I'm fine, and the landslide and the ground will not come out."
I couldn't say it, until Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao entered the Crystal Palace, and there was no movement.
A tributary of the White River runs through the city and divides the city in two. A bridge spans the two banks, like a long rainbow.
The river was surging and the mist splashed, making it impossible to see the demons driving on both sides of the strait.
The Crystal Palace is located under the Changhong Bridge, at the bottom of the Baihe River. Outside the palace, the river water is clear, the river sand is fine and white, and all kinds of fish and pebbles are colorful. The palace is isolated from the river water, passing through the corridors and winding yarns, and walking through a palace shell tower with heavy pearls, but see the white mist transpiring deep in the palace, like a cloud of smoke.
Meng Xueli had a bad premonition in his heart: "Where is the king?"
It was a crab general who led the two. On the order of King Baihe, I invited the "big monsters from other places" to enter the Crystal Palace for a chat. The crab general thought that if the foreign monsters refused to come, there would be a fierce battle, and he would also escort them into the palace, so he brought a team of aquarium soldiers. go together. Who knew that things went well, the big monster from other places obediently followed, and the task assigned by the king was successfully completed. At this moment, the crab general was in a good mood, and he replied with a smile, "Your Majesty is bathing. You are blessed."
Meng Xueli's eyes darkened, his feet staggered, Ji Xiao held him up, and said, "Are you excited to see the beautiful demon?"
Meng Xueli: "What's beautiful? That's their aquarium aesthetic! You'll understand when you see it with your own eyes."
The words he said were true, and in Ji Xiao's eyes, they seemed vague and guilty.
Ji Xiao didn't say a word, he just took out the string of beads that Meng Xueli had given him, and played with his fingers.
The pearls rang crisply, and the memory of that night flooded into my heart. Meng Xueli blushed suddenly, when did the Taoist companion become so unreasonable.
Meng Xueli gently pulled Ji Xiao's sleeve: "Enough."
Ji Xiao's voice transmission asked: "Why does she want to see you when she is bathing? What is the purpose of doing this every time?"
"She showed her original body when she was bathing." Meng Xueli pointed to the top of the crystal palace. Outside the transparent water barrier, a group of puffer fish passed by, "Which of them do you think is the most handsome?"
Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Meng Xueli turned his fingers: "Look over there, which one is the most beautiful among those scallops?"
Ji Xiao understood and had to apologize: "It was my fault."
Meng Xueli took an inch: "Of course it's your fault. You are angry with me for a big scallop. Where can I justify it? When we go back, you have to let me kiss it."
When he was in the secret realm of Hanhai, Ji Xiao could still stand still and watch Jing Di confess to Meng Xueli. At this time, I could only helplessly smile.
He didn't know much about Meng Xueli's past, so after coming to the demon world, he often felt uneasy and beyond his grasp. Just as Meng Xueli envied Hu Si, he also faintly envied Qu Xianming, and even envied every monster who had made friends with the King of Snow Mountain.
This is love in the world, Ji Xiao thought.
While speaking, the bath was approaching, and the hot mist rushed to the top of the palace. After the carp master passed the message, the two silver fish demons swept aside the shark gauze curtain one by one.
The full view of the bath behind the curtain appears, as wide as a flat lake, full of petals, and more than 20 aquarium little monsters serve a large scallop by the pool.
Some demons poured water into the pool; some held fine silk and wiped the shells with all their might; some smeared ointment on the patterns of the shells. At first glance, it looks busy and nervous, like a war.
Meng Xueli spoke to Ji Xiao: "Seeing a big scallop in the bath, whether you can see it or not, what is there to be excited about."
Ji Xiao was silent.
In the confinement shell, a lazy female voice came out: "Is this the monster looking for death, imitating the seal of the King of Snow Mountain, and deceiving this king?"
The voice in the shell was suddenly severe: "Lai Yao, take it for me!"
In the hall, the shrimp soldiers and crabs would follow the orders, holding fine silk, buckets, and soft brushes, and surrounded Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao.
"Hold on!" Meng Xueli said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am here to save the demon."
The big scallop was silent for a moment, then opened a gap slightly: "Go down first!"
The Shui people in the hall looked at each other in dismay and retire as ordered.
The scallop floated upwards and transformed into a slender, tall, barefoot beauty with silver hair and a white dress.
King Baihe stepped out of the bath and looked at the two of them, frowning slightly. The opponent's body is covered with a strong demonic energy, she can't see the body, it can be seen that its demonic power is deep.
Meng Xueli said, "The seal is true or false, you can tell by reading it, why did you deceive me?"
The king of Baihe moved in his heart and asked in a low voice, "The king of Xueshan, is he really dead?"
Meng Xueli said calmly, "Dead."
But King Baihe laughed. He stroked a lock of silver hair with his fingers, and said softly, "I don't believe it. Go back and tell him that I miss him very much. It is better to marry Baihe and Xueshan than to form an alliance."
Ji Xiao remained silent.
Meng Xueli cursed in his heart, you are trying to kill me, but he couldn't hold his breath and said coldly, "You don't want to save Zihu anymore?"
"Ha." King Baihe laughed when he saw his reaction, "He really is alive! He sent you to help me?"
Meng Xueli choked.
Ji Xiao replied: "Help you go to the tower to save the demon."
"Monster Town Tower is not an ordinary prison, it may be completely different from what you imagined." Once King Baihe confirmed, his expression became serious.
"Zihu is locked at the top of the tower. Although he is a bastard, he has some old friendship with me. I, Baihe, have no ambitions in my life.
Meng Xueli nodded in understanding.
The Great King Baihe continued: "The tower is divided into three floors, the first floor has no patrols, but there is a thousand-year-old mirage hidden at the bottom of the tower. The mirage can transform the scenery, confuse the demon's heart, and make trespassers fall into the sea of fire. The three loyal dead men are all powerful and determined demons, but they still haven't survived the mirage. If the mirage is not broken, no matter how many demons go, they will all die in vain."
Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao glanced at each other, and invariably thought that they are also mirages, why is this one of their own so unsatisfactory
King Baihe: "So I plan to abandon the plan to climb the tower, recruit the flying demon generals, and break through from top to bottom. But at the top of the tower, there is the powerful demon general of the King of Lingshan personally guarding, and the green eagle has a trace of Jinpeng blood, which is very powerful..."
After talking about the situation of the Demon Pagoda in the town of Baihe, the Great King Baihe asked the question he was most concerned about: "I can't succeed after repeated attempts, how sure are you?"
Meng Xueli didn't dare to answer these words, he estimated that 30% to 40%, and he was discouraged when he said it. It is unlucky to lose one's qi before leaving the apprenticeship.
Ji Xiao said, "Eighty percent."
His tone was light and inexplicably convincing. Even Meng Xueli was persuaded and burst into arrogance: "Eighty percent, just more or less."
King Baihe was shocked.
She paced silently in the hall. The gauze skirt is dragging on the ground, and the skirt is like the waves of the white river.
The "Ten Thousand Demons Conference" is approaching, and the purple fox in prison is about to be escorted to Fengyue City to be the dead soul of the giant python. When things were in a dead end, the old team of Snow Mountain came to visit and brought a trace of vitality. Asking the old part of Xueshan to help, it is safer and more reliable than the outsiders who don’t know their roots. At least they will never betray her to the King of Lingshan, but how can there be free food from mountains and seas in the world
After a long while, she said slowly: "I have been the king of the White River for three hundred years, and both sides of the White River have been calm for three hundred years. This king does not want to start a war with Lingshan. Otherwise, I will transfer the water of the Qianzhang White River, flood the town demon tower, and hit the black cottage. What demon can't be saved?!"
On one side are old friends in prison who have to be rescued, and on the other side are the people of Baihe who have to be protected. Being a demon king is like a dilemma.
Meng Xueli smiled: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I will not ask for money, and I will not ask for troops."
King Baihe stopped and frowned: "What are the conditions for the two of you, please tell me bluntly."
Meng Xueli had discussed with Ji Xiao long ago, and solemnly said, "I want a shop in White River City."
The Great King Baihe didn't react, and was at a loss for a while: "What?"
Meng Xueli added: "The facade doesn't need to be too conspicuous, try to keep a low profile, but the location is better. It's better to be on the same street as the Pearl Tower, and you can eat the special dried fish in the building at any time..."
King Baihe raised his eyebrows: "Are you entertaining this king?"
Meng Xueli said: "To tell the truth, I have some business, secretly traveling between people and demons, and I want to make a clear path with the king."
King Baihe thought to himself how difficult it was, but he was still worried: the old part of Xueshan did not want to make progress or take revenge, and changed his business to business
She asked, "Apart from that, what else do you want?"
Meng Xueli nodded: "I will help you save Zihu, and you will send me a shop. You and I are both clear, you don't need to feel that you owe me favor."
The King Baihe's expression was slightly complicated, and he thought that it was indeed the old part of the monster, and his style was like the King of Extreme Snow Mountain. If he really didn't die, what would the demon world look like after he returned to the demon world
"This shop is run by my buddy. I also ask the king to take care of it on weekdays. The business is easy, and it's safe." Meng Xueli said, patting his sleeves, wanting Chu Hua to show up and say hello to the king of Baihe, and he will have a seat in the future. backing.
There was no movement in the sleeves.
Meng Xueli reached into his sleeve with one hand, groped and held Chu Hua's plush cat's tail, and lifted it gently. Who knew that Chu Hua embraced Ruan Hui's hind paws, and Ruan Hui dragged Biyou's tail feathers, so the civet cat, gray rabbit, The kingfisher was head down, and a bunch of them were pulled out of their big sleeves and swayed lightly in the air for half a circle, falling all over the floor.
The Great King Baihe was stunned: "This..."
Meng Xueli felt a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere was weird for a while.
King Baihe was afraid that the demons would not come to the stage. After all, he had to rely on them to help the demon tower, so he took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and said:
"This is a guest. What else do you two bring for dinner? You're too polite. It's in good shape, Shanzhen from Hei Shanzhai?"
Hearing the words, the three half-demons slumped stiffly on the cold floor tiles, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more weird.
Fortunately, Ji Xiao was here, and calmly explained: "This is our buddy."
King Baihe: "... Uh, what this king means is, since it's a monster, let's stay and finish the meal."
