In fact, the demon clan messenger himself still doesn't want to pee very much.
After all, he is still the envoy of the demon king, and he can be regarded as a high-level demon in the demon clan. The three urgent things must have not bothered him for a long time.
However, the demon clan messenger saw Bai Qiuran's impatient look, fearing that he would get bored and take action against him, so he followed Bai Qiuran's words and walked into a small wood beside him, pretending to pee.
Of course, he didn't pee after he went in, but took out a bottle of calming elixir and swallowed it.
After the medicinal pill entered his stomach, it quickly turned into a cool medicinal power, which flowed through his limbs and bones. The envoy of the demon king finally calmed down a lot, at least when facing Bai Qiuran, he would no longer tremble like a sieve.
It took him two days and three nights to finally bring Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue to a palace on the top of a mountain. Bai Qiuran couldn't tell which demon king the palace belonged to. It was built in the last two thousand years.
"The demon kings are inside."
The footsteps of the envoy of the demon king stopped outside a hall in the palace and bowed:
"Jianzu, county master, please."
The waiters on both sides nervously opened the door for Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue. The two exchanged glances before stepping into the lobby.
The lights in the lobby are dim, it seems that the owner here does not like the bright environment. After Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue entered the lobby, the door behind them was closed, and a faint light came from somewhere in the lobby. , illuminating the interior of the lobby.
"Welcome, the sword ancestor of the human race, and our noble princess."
The sound came from the direction of the main seat in the lobby. Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue looked at it. The dim light could not block their eyes. They found that in the darkness there was a thin and gloomy man sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a black robe with black scales on his cheeks.
In front of him was a small table with some monster clan delicacies on it, while he held a dendrobium in his hand and gave Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue a distant respect.
Su Xiangxue did not speak, but Bai Qiuran asked back:
"A face you haven't seen before, are you the new demon king?"
The gloomy man neither denied nor admitted, just raised his hand and said:
"The two of you have come from a long way to work hard, so please eat first."
In the darkness, two paper lanterns with shimmering light suddenly appeared. Next to the lanterns, there were two small tables filled with the same dishes as the demon king's small table. Dendrobium with clear liquor.
Bai Qiuran untied the Zhixian hanging from his waist and walked with Su Xiangxue to the cushions behind the table and sat down next to each other. Then Bai Qiuran picked up the chopsticks, but first stretched them to Su Xiangxue's small table. He put the dishes on the table. They took a sip one by one, then took Su Xiangxue's wine and sipped a little, then said to her:
"Eat it, it's not poisonous."
"Jianzu is so defensive about this king, it really makes this king chill."
The gloomy man said:
"Isn't this king's previous performance in the ten regions of Kyushu not enough to show the sincerity of this king?"
"It's better to say than to sing, who doesn't want to take my head from your demon clan?"
Bai Qiuran sneered:
"What's more, your poisonous snake, as soon as we entered the house, it began to spread poison into the air. Do you really think I can't smell this sweet smell?"
The gloomy man froze for a moment, then seemed a little embarrassed.
He took a few breaths, and the sweet smell in the air dissipated a lot at once.
"This is a natural phenomenon of this king's body, and Jianzu must not misunderstand, this king has no malicious intentions."
The gloomy man explained immediately.
Bai Qiuran snorted twice, obviously not believing.
"Let's put it this way, this king, La Jianzu and the county master, came here to discuss cooperation. It is really unwise to start before cooperation is negotiated."
After thinking about it for a while, the gloomy man said:
"What's more, the sword ancestor's reputation has been sung in the demon clan for two thousand years, and this king will not be foolish enough to expect that he can deal with the human race sword ancestor with this little trick."
When he said this, Bai Qiuran believed it a bit.
He began to pick up the dendrobium in front of him, and asked at the same time:
"Tell me, what's the matter with you looking for the two of us after taking so much trouble?"
The gloomy man pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Do you two know the current situation of His Majesty the Demon Emperor?"
"do not know."
Bai Qiuran disregarded the few people sitting in the darkness around him, very rudely drank the wine in the dendrobium, and deliberately burped.
"Is he buried or is he doing something?"
"It seems that Jianzu already knows the news that His Majesty the Demon Emperor has passed away."
The gloomy man laughed and said:
"His Royal Highness's intelligence network is really powerful."
He clapped his hands, and the surrounding paper lanterns lit up one by one, illuminating the remaining three people in the darkness.
They were a big man with sharp claws like lizards and a mouth full of fangs, a young man with a pair of golden wings behind his back, and a woman with flowers on his temples.
They sat around the gloomy man, watching Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue together with him.
"Sword ancestor, county master."
The gloomy man said:
"We are looking for you to negotiate terms."
Su Xiangxue still did not speak, while Bai Qiuran put down the Dendrobium and asked:
"What conditions?"
"The demon emperor has passed away, and there is no heir. This king thinks that both of them are clear about the consequences, and this king will stop talking."
The gloomy man looked at Su Xiangxue.
"His Royal Highness, you have inherited the purest blood belonging to the demon emperor. This king would like to invite you to lead us and let us help you to ascend to the throne."
"His Royal Highness the Black Snake King."
Su Xiangxue put down the dendrobium very gracefully and frowned:
"I think I have told you many times through Cui Luo, Xiangxue is a human race, how can she inherit the throne of the demon emperor?"
"Of course we don't want you to be the leader unconditionally."
The gloomy man paused and looked at Bai Qiuran again.
"At the same time, we also want to invite Jianzu to join our camp in this upcoming civil war."
"what?"
As soon as he said these words, even Bai Qiuran was stunned for a moment, and then he pointed at the gloomy man and laughed.
"You are much more powerful than bringing wolves into the room, do you know that?"
"Of course I understand."
The gloomy man nodded solemnly and said:
"But I understand better that I can't bear the reason why my child can't be a wolf. If I don't give it a try, I will never win."
"Well, bold and courageous."
Bai Qiuran stood up and looked at the gloomy man.
"Then, to ask me to fight for you, can you afford such a high price?"
"What is the price, let the swordsman judge by himself."
The gloomy man clapped his hands, the door opened, and a demon maid wearing a low-cut costume walked in from the door, holding a plate in both hands, and knelt in front of Bai Qiuran.
"What is this?"
Su Xiangxue asked with a frown.
On the plate held by the maid of the demon race, there was only a broken animal skin, which looked like a corner torn from an old animal skin.
"This is part of the map of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum of the first ancestor of my demon clan."
The gloomy man, the Black Snake King replied.
