215: Chapter 215

Xiao Bai scratched his head awkwardly. “After you, Your Majesty, you really should go first.”

“A loser who suddenly struck it rich, thinking he still has the strength of a Ninth-Level Demon King.”

Feng Yun flew slowly in front. She didn't dare to speed up; a large amount of yellow sand was floating in the air, and visibility was poor.

One wrong move and they would miss the Crescent Spring. The surrounding desert scenery was all the same; it was easy to get lost.

Xiao Bai followed slowly at her side. The road was truly boring, so he started making idle chatter.

“I am untalented, but may I ask Your Majesty a small question?”

“Spit it out. You’re just asking for trouble. Every time I start to improve my prejudice against you, you go back to courting death. How am I supposed to talk to you properly?”

“Don't be so nervous, I'm not doing anything. Besides, back in the cave, you were the one who started it. Why are you pinning it on me again?”

Feng Yun was so angry her face and neck turned red. “You... forget it! From now on, even if you are about to die, I won't care about you.”

“If you have something to say, ask quickly. Once we return to the territory, keep a safe distance from me. Don't be handsy; it won't look good if the Snake-Human Clan sees us.”

Xiao Bai grinned. “Think about it, from the first time until now, we’ve done it at least eight or ten times, right? Except for that one time when I had kidney deficiency, which time wasn't high quality?”

“How come I don't see any movement in your belly?”

Feng Yun took out a pill. “Little Fairy Doctor gave me this. After we finish every time, I secretly take one. If you want me to have your child, keep dreaming.”

“We're here. Don't ever ask that brainless question again; I've heard it at least a few times already.”

The so-called Crescent Spring was actually just a small pool in the desert, shaped like a crescent moon, and not very large.

It was about a dozen meters long and two or three meters wide, the only small oasis in a desert spanning hundreds of miles.

“It's right under the largest tree.”

After learning the password to enter the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan territory, Xiao Bai circled the large tree three times to the left and three times to the right, silently chanting the incantation.

A ten-meter-high archway slowly rose. After Xiao Bai and Feng Yun ran in, they immediately disappeared.

“Strange, I feel like I've seen this design somewhere before, but I can't recall it for the moment.”

After entering the territory, Xiao Dong led the guard to welcome them personally.

“Father, everyone is waiting for you in the Council Hall.”

Xiao Dong nodded slightly at Feng Yun. “Please, Your Majesty.”

After entering the hall, the Heavenly Demon Emperor welcomed Xiao Bai to sit beside him. Xiao Bai specifically glanced at Little Fairy Doctor standing to the side, still dressed entirely in red.

She was serious throughout, standing straight, and pretending not to know Xiao Bai at all.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor took out a secret letter and had a guard pass it to Xiao Bai.

“Snake King, please take a look. This is a letter sent by the Flame Demon Ruler's subordinates.”

He could guess what was inside without even opening it. The Demon Race was using Tian Kui as a threat, demanding that the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan obediently hand over the Zhou Tian Star Array, and also capture Xiao Bai and Feng Yun to be sent to the Demon Realm.

It seems they were also coveting the Demon Emperors Blood Essence contained within the two of them.

In just a few short days, Xiao Bai had leaped from a Ninth-Level Demon King to a Second-Level Emperor Realm Expert, making Dreamscape Mountain and the Demon Realm even more certain that the Demon Emperors Blood Essence within Xiao Bai was playing a key role.

From the expression on the Heavenly Demon Emperor's face, it was clear that his relationship with Tian Kui was deep; otherwise, he wouldn't be at such a loss.

Xiao Bai frowned deeply. “Your Majesty, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Demon Race is so rampant; we should immediately assemble a large army to attack.”

“Truth always lies within the range of the cannons. Once our army is at their gates, they will obediently hand over the Saintess and beg for peace.”

“Snake King, you mustn't! The Saintess is vital to the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan; we cannot afford any mishaps.”

“Based on my years of understanding the Demonic Lord, his methods will only be more despicable than the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor. If we don't agree to his demands, the Saintess's life will be in danger.”

Xiao Dong was the first to voice an objection, and the Great Commander Hong Shan of the Snake-Human Clan also strongly protested. The remaining elites of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan chose to remain silent.

They didn't want to offend the Heavenly Demon Emperor, nor did they want an Emperor Realm Expert like Xiao Bai to risk going to the Demon Realm.

The atmosphere in the hall became deadlocked. No one dared to express their opinions rashly; neither Xiao Bai nor the Heavenly Demon Emperor could be offended.

The meeting ended hastily. The Heavenly Demon Emperor summoned Xiao Bai privately, seemingly intending to chat about family matters to foster a better relationship between them.

“Snake King, please sit. I have lived for nearly a hundred thousand years, and I have dreamed of having an excellent son-in-law like you.”

Xiao Bai was a bit stunned. “Your Majesty, why do you say that?”

The Heavenly Demon Emperor slowly took off his black coat, revealing nine fox tails. He rarely appeared in this form.

“To tell you the truth, Tian Kui is my only daughter. Her real name is Su Jiushuang, and she is also my only child.”

“The Nine-Tailed lineage of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan has a very low birth rate. Her mother died shortly after giving birth.”

“Over these years, I have had many beauties in my harem, but none have been able to bear offspring.”

The Heavenly Demon Emperor spoke a great deal from the heart, his sincerity making it clear he already regarded Xiao Bai as his son-in-law.

“Tian Kui has been independent since she was a child, relying entirely on her own ability to become the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan.”

“I truly regret letting her lead the team to Dragon City. Now that she has been captured by the Demonic Lord, I am truly heartbroken.”

Xiao Bai could see the love an elderly, lonely man had for his daughter. With only the two of them there, the Heavenly Demon Emperor was revealing his true feelings without any pretense.

Suddenly, he knelt before Xiao Bai. “Please, Snake King, save my daughter. Under the heavens, only you have the ability to do so.”

“As long as you can save Tian Kui, I am willing to do anything.”

Xiao Bai hurriedly stepped forward to help the Heavenly Demon Emperor up. “Please, get up quickly, this must not be!”

“Tian Kui and I are good friends who have shared life and death; I should respectfully address you as Uncle.”

“I will set off for the Demon Realm immediately to find a way to rescue Tian Kui.”

The Heavenly Demon Emperor was in tears, excitedly clutching Xiao Bai's hand. “Thank you, thank you so much.”

“I will have Little Fairy Doctor assist you. She is also the Heavenly Poison Woman; the Demonic Lord once wanted to keep her in the Demon Race as a Saintess, so she is quite familiar with the place.”

In fact, given Xiao Bai's current status, there was no need for him to risk going to the Demon Realm personally.

Now that Ao Wuming had completely taken control of the Dragon Clan, and Gui Jianchou was the highest leader of the Ghost Race, both of them were little brothers who looked up to Xiao Bai. With a single command, they would lead their armies to attack the Demon Race.

However, if that happened, Tian Kui's life would be in danger.

Chapter 287: Item Master

The plan was to be carried out tomorrow night. Xiao Bai's target was too large, and he feared that there were Demon Race traitors mixed within the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan. He needed to find a body double to impersonate Xiao Bai so he wouldn't be exposed.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor outwardly agreed to the Flame Demon Ruler's conditions, with a one-month deadline, meaning Xiao Bai had to rescue Tian Kui within that month.

Looking across the entire Heavenly Demon Fox Clan, no one had this ability. Xiao Bai's various transformation techniques could play a key role.

Although Little Fairy Doctor could refine this type of Medicinal Pill, it would ultimately be subject to some limitations and couldn't last very long; the Demon Race likely already had precautions against this.

“My life is so miserable. I just got back and couldn't stay long, and now I have to go out on a mission again.”

“I must hurry; I'll go see how Bai Su and Qing Lin are doing first.”

Just after returning to the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan territory, Feng Yun clearly stated that she would not participate in this operation. She had been away from the Snake-Human Clan for quite a while, constantly following Xiao Bai's side, basically acting as a bed-warmer.

This was a top-secret operation, and it was not appropriate for Feng Yun to go. She had been messing around with Xiao Bai for this period, and the Elders of the clan had quite a few complaints.

Those Old Guys hoped that Feng Yun could lead the Snake-Human Clan toward strength; with her Ninth-Level Demon King Cultivation, she could better nurture the elites within the clan.

“Mom, look! That Big Bald Head is here again.”

Xiao Bai landed slowly from the air. With his current Cultivation, he shouldn't land too forcefully for fear of hurting the children here.

He tossed his flowing hair, stepped forward, and pinched Xiao Run's little cheek. “Who are you calling Big Bald Head? Can you speak with some visual evidence?”

“It hurts, let me go.”

Seeing her child making a racket outside, Qing Lin thought she was fighting with the little fox demons again and hurried out of the house to check the situation.

The moment he saw Qing Lin, Xiao Bai was instantly stunned, completely unable to believe his eyes.

Her figure was hot, slender, and even more stunning than when they first met. Her original Michelin-tire belly had turned into a slender waist. It had been less than a month, and the weight loss effect was actually this exaggerated.

Qing Lin waved at Xiao Run. “Little brat, go play over there. Your uncle and I are going into the house to chat for a while.”

“Oh...” Xiao Run pouted, leaving with a wronged expression.

Xiao Bai carefully sized up Qing Lin's figure. “Not bad, you've basically carved the meat off. The speed of weight loss is terrifying.”

“You're not bad either; your hair has grown back.”

“Let's go inside to talk; it's not convenient to talk outside.”

As soon as they entered the room, Qing Lin locked the door and sealed the windows tightly, for fear that Xiao Run would barge in.

She sneered contemptuously at Xiao Bai. “Heh, as expected, all males think with their lower bodies. When they see a hot-bodied demoness, they can't take their eyes off her.”

“Look at how you say that; it's not like we haven't played before. I'm just curious about how you managed to do it.”

Qing Lin took an exquisite wooden box from under the bed, filled with strange and bizarre items. Less than half were the ones Xiao Bai had given her previously; most of them were self-developed.

“How about it? Many of them were developed by me, inspired by those previous items.”

Xiao Bai gave a thumbs up in praise. “You damn Genius, instead of cultivating properly every day, you just research this.”

“Sigh, my talent is average; I can't compare to my sister. Having Demon King Cultivation in this lifetime is more than enough.”

Qing Lin picked up a few items and began to explain them to Xiao Bai proudly. Who knows what she was thinking about all day long.

Many of the items were designed in an avant-garde way, the sizes were much larger than before, and there were many strange patterns, almost making them indistinguishable from the real thing.

“Look at this thing; it's my masterpiece. It can satisfy both the front and the back at the same time. As long as you drive it slightly with magic power, it can start working immediately.”

“I used these good things, which made the fat on my body burn rapidly. I didn't expect the effect to be so significant; I lost weight without even realizing it.”

Xiao Bai's mouth twitched, and he curled his lip. “That must be quite intense; you'll ruin your body sooner or later.”

“Pah, you scumbag snake. If it weren't for you not wanting to touch me, would I have gone to research these strange things? But looking at it now, the effect is indeed quite good.”

Seeing these dazzling, dozens of items, Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat. He had to find an excuse to slip away quickly.

From the beginning, he was very clear about Qing Lin's flirtatious nature. If this went crazy, he probably wouldn't be able to go to the Demon Realm tomorrow night.

“Uh... actually, I came to find your sister. I don't know how those two children, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen, are doing.”

Qing Lin picked up a whip and wrapped it around Xiao Bai's neck. With Xiao Bai's Cultivation, he could break free immediately, but one was willing to beat, and the other was willing to be beaten.
