Chapter 908 Interested Person
In Wutong Palace, Xilu stood under the Wutong tree for a long time, thinking about the truth of his brother's words.
Compared with his own background, his brother's mother was from the mermaid clan in the northern sea of monsters. At that time, the mermaid clan had a high prestige in the North Sea, and there was also a demon king in the clan. In order to consolidate his throne, the demon emperor married that woman, but no one expected that the ancestor of the mermaid clan would have a big problem in his practice. Not only did he go astray, but he also killed people in the mermaid clan, causing many strong people to fall one after another. After that, no talented descendants were born for a long time, and naturally they declined uncontrollably, even if they were related to the demon emperor.
The mermaids' territory was constantly being eroded, and now there is still an island lingering on, which is also because there is a demon prince. Otherwise, I am afraid that the extermination of the clan is not a joke.
Without power, this prince was not welcomed in the palace. It was common for him to be bullied when he was a child. The Demon Emperor was similar to the Emperor of Daliang in one respect, that is, he hardly cared about his offspring.
Even Xilu was valued by the Demon Emperor only after she showed her unparalleled talent in these years. Before that, her life was no different from that of her brother.
Before that, whether one could live comfortably in the palace depended on whether the family behind him was strong enough.
In fact, there was no difference between the human race and the demon race in many things.
Now that Xilu has been regarded by the demon race as the most likely to inherit the throne of the demon race, he must not start from one side when thinking about things, but must consider all aspects. However, although Xilu is smart and not so easy to deceive, he still feels irritated about these things.
This kind of thing is indeed more suitable for the young warrior to think about.
Thinking of this, Xilu frowned, somewhat disgusted that he would think of the young warrior at this moment.
Her eyes turned white in an instant, and she quickly dispelled her emotions.
For some reason, she always felt that if she thought too much about the young warrior, there would be some bad results.
Taking a deep breath, Xilu returned to the phoenix tree and continued to practice sword.
Before leaving the demon domain next time, she would raise her sword realm to the realm of the Great Sword Immortal.
By that time, no matter how many tricks the young warrior had, he would die in the end.
…
…
The high priest had already set off for southern Xinjiang.
The demon domain is vast. If the demon sea in the north is included, this demon domain is actually not much different from the human territory.
It's just that the climate is bad. The central part where the demon clan's royal city is located, that is, the upper and lower reaches of the Onon River, including southern Xinjiang, can still have a few months without snow in late spring and midsummer every year, but in the demon sea, it is heavy snow all year round, and the sea surface is frozen all year round. Some demons with low realms actually have a hard time living.
The reason why Bai Jing agreed to go south so readily and was very interested in this matter was that if there was no reason for this, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
In fact, the high priest knew his old friend very well. He knew that although he was proud, he still cared about his people. This kind of temperament was not common in the demon clan, especially in the great demons and demon kings who had achieved success in cultivation.
They had cultivated to the point where they were immune to cold and heat, so they didn't care about what happened to other people.
The southern end of the demon domain, which they called the southern border, actually had a much better climate. There were many demons gathered here, and even more tribes. It had always been a stage of no leader until the previous demon emperor died. The Red Sleeve Demon King, who was the demon emperor's sister, almost sat on the throne. Although she did not really sit on the throne because she lost in the battle with the demon emperor, the demon king went south and the demon emperor did not kill her.
Maybe it was out of affection, after all, she was his aunt, or maybe the demon emperor was busy dealing with the other ambitious brothers. Anyway, no matter what, the Red Sleeve Demon King went south and came to Nanjiang, sweeping many local tribes, and many demon kings were forced to bow down.
From then on, the Red Sleeve Demon King became the de facto leader of Nanjiang.
In the current Nanjiang City, the demon clan has always spread that you can disrespect the Demon Emperor in the demon domain, but you must never ignore the Red Sleeve Demon King.
The current Princess, in the south, is more effective than the Demon Emperor.
This is not to say how high the prestige of the Red Sleeve Demon King is in the south, and how many people are willing to go through fire and water for her, but her iron-blooded wrist, plus people here, if anything happens, she will know it almost immediately, once she knows it, the result is needless to say.
Therefore, this time the high priest went to Nanjiang City, not with a big fanfare, but alone, quietly.
A few days later, when the high priest rushed to the gate of Nanjiang City, he was also a little emotional. The scale of Nanjiang City was almost the same as that of the demon clan's royal city.
He had traveled to the demon domain in the early years, and naturally came to this Nanjiang City. At that time, Nanjiang City was much smaller and more dilapidated than the current Nanjiang City.
It was not as big as it is now.
However, he also knew that this Nanjiang City had been rebuilt several times, and the last one was after the Red Sleeve Demon King took over.
As for why Nanjiang City was built to a scale similar to that of the demon clan's royal city, the demons in Nanjiang have actually thought a lot and discussed a lot over the years, but after all, they still can't escape the word "Demon Emperor".
The high priest slowly entered the city, not exempt from customs, and paid the entrance fee learned from the human race.
Entering the city, the high priest approached the main palace in the center of the city. He was thinking about whether to report his home directly and ask if the demon king was in the city. In front of him, a thin middle-aged man came here and saw the big man. After the priest, he slightly raised his hands and said, "Is this Mr. Jing?"
The title "sir" is still rare among the demon clan.
The high priest thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's me."
The man smiled and said, "Miss Hong wants to see Mr.
The high priest asked curiously, "Red Girl?"
First, it's a title like "Mr. Girl" that is common in the human race but not at all common in the demon race, and then the surname Hong? The high priest couldn't remember that he had a friend here named Hong.
The man said, "It's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
The high priest was startled, then nodded.
With this person, there was really no need to think about whether he could see the red-sleeved demon king, but after that, he followed him to the main palace and still had a lot of chats.
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has actually been living in seclusion these years, with no outsiders.
As rumored, the demons who died under the eldest princess were seeking their own death, and they had no one to blame. "
"As for this title, it is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's only request. She requires all the servants in the mansion to use this title. I don't know why, but it is definitely impossible to say that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess intends to turn to the human race. How about the royal bloodline? Will you abandon your own people?"
"But Mr. Jing is still the only outsider that Her Royal Highness the Princess has met in these years. It seems that Mr. Jing's status must be extraordinary."
The man was talking as he walked, but it seemed that he didn't know the identity of the high priest, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words.
The high priest smiled and said nothing. After entering the mansion, the man took the high priest to a study room and said goodbye.
The high priest took a deep breath and stepped into the study.
The study room is not big, just a place where a wooden table and two rows of bookshelves can be placed. A woman in a red dress lowers her head and writes something on the table. In fact, just by looking at it, you can know that the woman is actually good, no matter what Is it appearance or aura.
Also, Her Royal Highness, the only eldest princess of the demon clan, is not a mortal.
After a moment, the woman in the red dress raised her head, blinked first, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and asked, "Jing Zhu, is it really you?"
The woman who was already extremely beautiful now looked even more playful and charming in a different way.
The high priest was a little helpless, "If it weren't for me, why would Her Royal Highness invite me here?"
"I know who comes and goes in Nanjiang City. However, even though I noticed you coming before, thinking about it, you, the high priest, should have a lot of things to do now and would not come to a small place like mine."
The woman in the red dress smiled and said, feeling a little happy from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't expect that it was you who came in the end."
Just as the high priest was about to speak, the woman in red dress shook her head and said, "Jing Zhu, can't we talk about these things later?"
She seemed a little aggrieved when she spoke, and she looked pitiful. She didn't look like the legendary eldest princess who was decisive in killing and iron-blooded.
The high priest was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
The woman in the red dress nodded happily and said with a smile, "Jing Zhu, let me take you to Nanjiang City. Eat something good and see something you haven't seen before?"
The high priest nodded and said again, "Okay."
After that, he really left the mansion with the eldest princess in front of him, who was of high status but not necessarily good-tempered, and went out to see a southern city.
The two of them left the mansion together and walked casually in the large Southern Xinjiang city. The eldest princess spoke a lot along the way, and the high priest responded... not too little.
"Jing Zhu, you know that there are many things about the human race, but do you know what the marriage process is like in the human race?"
Hong Xiu suddenly spoke, with a hint of expectation in her voice.
The high priest thought for a while and asked, "Are those monks becoming Taoist companions, or... those human beings?"
Hongxiu said angrily, "Of course it's the latter."
"If it's the latter, then the process will be cumbersome. At the beginning, there must be a matchmaker. The so-called parents order the matchmaker. That's it. After that..."
The high priest patiently talked about the marriage process on the human side, speaking slowly, ensuring that every word he said could be heard clearly by the eldest princess opposite.
After saying this, the high priest looked at Hongxiu and asked jokingly, "Is it possible that Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Growth, really wants to leave the demon clan and go to the human clan?"
Hongxiu did not answer this question, but just said to himself, "After leaving the royal city, I spent a lot of time getting to know the human race, and I liked their customs very much. Later I thought, if I had never been a demon race, but a demon race It’s good to be alone, and if it’s not a monk who knows how to practice, it’s an ordinary person who lives for decades and only wants three meals a day all year round.”
The high priest said, "Those people had a hard time in the past. There were monsters living in Daliang who would eat people, and those monks from other places would kill them at will."
The implication of his words is quite simple, that is, your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, seems to be a little too simplistic when looking at the problem at the moment.
Hongxiu said, "Daliang Dynasty has been in existence for more than two hundred years. Aren't things like this becoming less and less common? Especially now."
The high priest remained silent. For ordinary people, the emperors and officials above them were the best in history.
"So you want to destroy such a big beam, I'm not very happy."
Hongxiu looked at the high priest and said calmly, "But my idea is very selfish, because I know that they will definitely want to destroy us."
The high priest nodded and said, "Things like living in peace and harmony can probably be achieved if there are no old grudges, but there are always old grudges, and neither party can resolve them, so there is no way to live in peace and harmony."
Hongxiu nodded and said, "I understand the truth."
The high priest thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, your Highness should know my purpose of coming."
Hongxiu said, "Do you still know? If my nephew didn't ask for help, how could he send someone to see me? If he didn't ask me for a big deal, why would he send you?"
The high priest was silent.
"My nephew had murderous intentions at the beginning. If it weren't for your words, he would not have let me go south. I appreciate your kindness, but Jing Zhu, I have always had a question to ask you over the years, but you always I didn’t come to Nanjiang City, so I thought a lot, and now my thoughts may be getting more and more outrageous, but I still want an answer.”
Hongxiu looked at the high priest, thought for a moment, and actually stuck out his tongue. It seemed that something in the past had really changed the temperament of the demon clan princess.
The high priest glanced at a southern Xinjiang city in the distance. After walking only half of it, he thought for a moment and said, "How about we finish shopping?"
"no."
Hong Xiu decisively rejected the high priest in front of him.
The high priest said helplessly, "Why? Didn't you say before that you would see this southern city before talking about it? Why have you changed your mind now?"
"Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Hongxiu said proudly, "Before, I was afraid that you would leave once you told me why you were here, but now it's clear that you want to delay, and I won't wait foolishly."
The high priest thought for a moment and said, "Then what is your problem?"
Hongxiu frowned and said, "Stop talking about this!"
The high priest smiled, then twitched the corner of his mouth, "There is indeed love, but it is just love."
Hong Xiu was puzzled, "Why?"
The high priest looked at Hong Xiu and said calmly, "Because Your Majesty will not call me uncle."
