#394 - What's important for you?

"Why should I help you?" Mr. Bei Hai looked at Xu Ming and asked suspiciously, "What benefits can you give me?"

"..." Xu Ming cupped his hands in a salute, "If Senior can help Junior, then Junior will naturally owe Senior a favor. As for what benefits Junior can give Senior, it depends on what Senior wants, and whether Junior can do it."

Xu Ming said it directly, his words were very straightforward.

However, the fact is indeed so.

He really didn't know what the other party wanted, and he might not necessarily have what the other party wanted, so he could only wait for the other party to make a request.

"Hahahaha." Mr. Bei Hai laughed loudly, "You little brat is quite straightforward. When I want you to repay the favor, I won't necessarily be polite."

Xu Ming: "As long as it's within Junior's ability."

Mr. Bei Hai looked at Xu Ming seriously.

"Are you going to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom?" Mr. Bei Hai asked Xu Ming.

"What?" Xu Ming raised his head, stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrong.

The fact was that Xu Ming had not heard wrong. Mr. Bei Hai repeated, "I'm asking you, are you going to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom?"

Xu Ming nodded: "If there are no accidents, Junior will indeed make a trip to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom."

"Oh?" Mr. Bei Hai became interested at this time, "Then what are you going to do in the Southern Border Demon Kingdom?"

"Junior has a friend in the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, and Junior wants to see her," Xu Ming said ambiguously.

The Southern Border Demon Kingdom was originally within Xu Ming's plans.

Although he hadn't heard from Xiaobai for a long time, and although Xiaobai was no longer the Xiaobai she used to be.

But no matter what, Xiaobai was his friend, and he couldn't let her go. He definitely had to see how she was doing.

Xu Ming spoke ambiguously, and Mr. Bei Hai would not pursue the matter further.

Mr. Bei Hai was just curious. As for what the other party was going to do in the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, it really wasn't his business.

However, since the other party was going to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, it would be easier to handle.

Mr. Bei Hai nodded: "In that case, going to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom is just a detour for you."

"Help me do something in the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, and I will help you," Mr. Bei Hai made his request.

Xu Ming nodded: "Please speak, Senior."

Mr. Bei Hai raised his head and looked at this sky that wasn't really a sky, sighed, and slowly said: "Help me to worship someone."

Xu Ming: "???"

Mr. Bei Hai smiled: "You also know that asking you to worship is not just burning incense. If you help me, then I can tell you the truth, the danger of you going to worship is not much different from the danger of you going to the Northern Sea Nether Abyss. Of course, you only need to go within three years. During this time, you can try your best to improve your cultivation."

Xu Ming frowned, thought seriously for a while, and finally cupped his hands in a salute: "Junior agrees to Senior's request."

Mr. Bei Hai smiled: "Don't rush to agree to me so quickly. There is still some time before you go to the Northern Sea Nether Abyss. Think about it carefully, or wait until you have a better method, and you won't have to agree to me."

Mr. Bei Hai waved his hand: "If there's nothing else, Master Xu, please leave first. I want to take a nap, and I don't like my nap being disturbed by others."

"Then Junior will take his leave first. I have disturbed Senior," Xu Ming said goodbye and did not stay long.

After leaving Coral Sea, Xu Ming walked towards the palace.

After entering the palace, he went straight to the inner hall of the palace.

Of course, although Xu Ming had the jade pendant specially bestowed by the Dragon Queen, he did not use it.

You have it because you have it, but you use it because you use it.

Having it and using it are not the same thing at all.

At least doing this now, he can maintain a certain distance from the Dragon Queen, and it will be easier to get away in the future. Otherwise, if he gets into a deeper relationship with the Dragon Queen, it will be more troublesome if he wants to leave.

"May I ask the young lady to help me inform Her Majesty that Xu Ming from Wu Kingdom requests an audience," Xu Ming said to the palace maid guarding the door of the inner hall.

The palace maid guarding the door glanced at the jade pendant on Xu Ming's waist and said with a smile, "Since Master Xu has the jade pendant bestowed by Her Majesty, then Master Xu can go directly. There is no need for us to notify you again."

Xu Ming didn't expect that these two palace maids would recognize him based on this jade pendant alone.

From this, it can be seen that there are probably not many people who can receive this jade pendant.

"I am a man. It would be inappropriate to go directly. I hope the two young ladies can report it," Xu Ming said.

The two palace maids looked at each other, then nodded: "Since Master Xu has said so, then this servant will naturally agree. Please wait a moment, Master Xu, and we will report it."

Xu Ming: "Thank you, young ladies."

A maid bowed and walked into the inner hall of the palace.

About an incense stick's worth of time later, the maid came out and bowed: "Please come with me, Master. Her Majesty is already waiting in the bedroom."

"The bedroom again?" Xu Ming said in surprise. How could an outer minister like himself be meeting the Dragon Queen in the bedroom every day? This is not right, is it?

The palace maid blinked: "What did Master Xu just say?"

"It's nothing. Then I'll trouble the young lady to lead the way," Xu Ming said.

Xu Ming followed the palace maid in, but he still felt a little resistant in his heart.

To be honest, Xu Ming still hoped that the Dragon Queen could meet him directly in the imperial study.

Meeting him in the palace always gave him a sense of inexplicable panic, and he always felt that the Dragon Queen might come up with something.

Anyway, Xu Ming felt that the Dragon Queen had something she wanted from him, although Xu Ming didn't know exactly what the Dragon Queen wanted from him...

"Master Xu, Her Majesty is waiting inside. Master Xu can just go in," the maid said to Xu Ming, leading him to the palace.

"Thank you, young lady," Xu Ming said politely.

"You're welcome, Master Xu. Then this servant will take her leave first," the palace maid bowed and turned to walk away.

Xu Ming pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.

The moment Xu Ming walked into the bedroom, the door was immediately closed again, and a faint fragrance floated in the room.

Xu Ming stepped forward and cupped his hands in a salute: "This subject greets Your Majesty."

"What is it?" The Dragon Queen's voice came from the bed.

"This subject has an important matter to report," Xu Ming said.

"What important matter could you have?"

The Dragon Queen yawned, and her lazy posture could be seen through the gauze curtain, making Xu Ming feel a bit hot-blooded.

Xu Ming: "It's about the East Sea Crown Prince."
