Ch 520: Xuan Hu’s Worries
“This matter is really too bad, our Myriad Demon Alliance will definitely not agree.”
Xu Ziping slammed the teacup he was holding onto the table in front of him.
“Aside from the Two States’ Territory, you Penglai Demon Race can forget about the rest of the thing. Sometimes having too big an appetite isn’t a good thing.”
After saying that, he looked at Ji Yunlang and squinted his eyes slightly, saying, “What do you say?”
“Since it is the Myriad Demon Alliance’s instruction, our Penglai Demon Race will of course consider it carefully, but the Two States’ Territory in the hands of the Iron Bone Ape Tribe not only has extremely poor revenue, but also constant disputes. If we accept it, I’m afraid we will have to deal with a lot of trouble, which is somewhat not worth it for our Penglai Demon Race.”
Ji Yunlang replied with a smile.
He didn’t expect the Iron Bone Ape Tribe to directly seek help from the Myriad Demon Alliance, directly cutting off two-thirds of the compensation they demanded.
It’s just that he couldn’t possibly agree to this request.
Firstly, this was the Old Ancestor’s instruction.
Secondly, he also felt that taking the Two States’ Territory as compensation was too little.
After all, it was the Iron Bone Ape Tribe who attacked them first. If it hadn’t been for the Old Ancestor’s timely action, their Penglai Demon Race would have almost suffered a heavy blow. If they didn’t make the Iron Bone Ape Tribe pay a painful price.
Where would the dignity of their Penglai Demon Race be?
“You’re not satisfied?”
Xu Ziping frowned, and his face immediately darkened.
“Do you think I’m discussing with you? It’s not up to you whether you’re satisfied or not. Our Myriad Demon Alliance is here specifically to inform your Penglai Demon Race.”
When he mentioned the words Myriad Demon Alliance, his tone suddenly became heavier.
Ji Yunlang’s face stiffened, and he forced a smile on his face, replying impeccably.
“What you said makes a lot of sense, but for major event like Demon Saint’s, the decision-making power is not in the hands of me, the Clan Leader, but is decided by our Old Ancestor.”
He naturally knew that Xu Ziping was using the name of the Myriad Demon Alliance to suppress them.
It’s just that others express it secretly, but this was the first time he had seen someone so blatantly arrogant.
Although he had some anger in his heart, he still suppressed it, because if he retorted, Xu Ziping would exaggerate the situation to the Alliance Leader after returning, which would be detrimental to his Penglai Demon Race.
But fortunately, he also had the Old Ancestor as a shield, and what he said was the truth.
This kind of major event was not something he could easily decide.
“Since your Old Ancestor is making the decision, what nonsense are you talking to me for?”
Xu Ziping’s face darkened, and he ordered, “Call your Old Ancestor over to talk to me!”
“Huff!”
Ji Yunlang took a deep breath, the smile disappeared from his face, and he explained word by word, “How can we Juniors disturb the Old Ancestor at will? Why don’t you wait a little longer, and I will immediately send someone to inform the Old Ancestor.”
“Then hurry up and do it?”
Xu Ziping nodded in satisfaction, and began to drink tea with a comfortable expression.
Not far away.
A maidservant stood there silently, watching this scene.
Occasionally, Penglai Demon Race people walked past, and after seeing the maidservant, they all greeted her.
“Sister Xiao Qing.”
Although she was an ordinary maidservant, she was someone close to the Old Ancestor, and they couldn’t neglect her.
“Mm.”
Xuan Hu, disguised as a maidservant, nodded, looking at Ji Yunlang and Xu Ziping, who were talking and laughing.
She appeared calm on the surface, but a storm was raging in her heart.
During these days, she was in the quiet and peaceful Penglai Demon Race, addicted to Liu Dongyue’s tender embrace and unable to extricate herself.
But she forgot one thing.
The Penglai Demon Race is also a member of the Myriad Demon Alliance.
In other words, the Penglai Demon Race is also a subordinate of the Star Envoy, so hasn’t she been in a tiger’s den these days, with the danger of losing her life at any time.
But the problem is, Liu Dongyue hasn’t done anything to her these days, but has been raising her.
Why is he doing this?
Wouldn’t it be better to hand herself over to the Star Envoy?
In this way, they can have a better relationship with the Star Envoy, and maybe even go to the next level.
But Liu Dongyue didn’t do anything to her. Could it be that he has other plans?
Confused thoughts churned in her mind.
Xuan Hu’s face turned pale, she bit her lip tightly, and froze in place for a moment.
Just then.
A large hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, and then with a slight force, led Xuan Hu into a warm embrace.
Xuan Hu subconsciously struggled, but it was difficult to escape the embrace, and she could only look at the person with a pair of very complicated eyes.
“Are you afraid that I will inform the Myriad Demon Alliance?”
Liu Dongyue glanced at Ji Yunlang and Xu Ziping, who were talking in front, and asked.
In this Penglai Demon Race, only he himself knew Xuan Hu’s true identity.
The other party was standing here foolishly, and he immediately understood what the other party was worried about.
“Won’t you?”
Xuan Hu asked back, her voice trembling with nervousness.
“Why do you think so?”
Liu Dongyue smiled lightly, and then said, “The Penglai Demon Race used to be a member of the Myriad Demon Alliance, but it isn’t anymore.”
After saying that, he let go of his arms and walked forward, leaving Xuan Hu with a sentence.
“If you believe me, then come with me.”
Xuan Hu looked at Liu Dongyue’s back, and couldn’t help but recall the bits and pieces of her time with Liu Dongyue in the Penglai Demon Race.
It was undeniable that she had been living very peacefully these days.
There was no infighting, as if she had become a flower in a greenhouse, and everything Liu Dongyue did didn’t seem fake.
She couldn’t help but ask herself in her heart.
If Liu Dongyue really had bad intentions towards her, she, who is only at the Profound Connection Realm now, should have lost her value long ago, and it wouldn’t be worth it for him to treat her so kindly.
But all of this was already a fact that had happened.
Retracting her thoughts, a determined look appeared in Xuan Hu’s eyes. She had nothing left, and since she had already chosen to follow him, why was she still being suspicious?
So she strode to Liu Dongyue’s side.
A fragrant breeze floated to his nose, Liu Dongyue glanced sideways at Xuan Hu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Ji Yunlang, who was talking with Xu Ziping, also noticed his own Old Ancestor.
He immediately stopped talking, stood up, and said with a happy expression, “Old Ancestor, you’re here!”
He had been dealing with Xu Ziping for a long time, and he almost wanted to directly kill him.
But the other party was representing the Myriad Demon Alliance, and was also someone close to the Alliance Leader, so he couldn’t afford to offend him at all, and could only endure it.
Now that the Old Ancestor was here, he finally had some confidence.
“Oh?”
At this time, Xu Ziping glanced at Liu Dongyue with a calm gaze, and finally his gaze fell on Xuan Hu beside him, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, his tone full of mockery.
“When did your Penglai Demon Race become so casual? Is this kind of major event something a maidservant can listen to? Tell her to get out!”
As soon as these words came out.
Ji Yunlang’s face immediately changed.
Who didn’t know that this maidservant named Xiao Qing was the Old Ancestor’s favorite, and the two were almost together every moment.
On the surface, she was a humble maidservant, but even he, the Clan Leader, had to greet her politely when he saw her.
Xu Ziping could have troubled anyone, but he had to trouble Xiao Qing!
