#643 - The Demon King's Daughter
White Spirit Mountain, on a side peak, a tastefully decorated guest room.
Candles flickered within, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air, elegant and unique.
The "Miss Liu" that Su Xiu mentioned was sitting at the table, chatting with a young maidservant with a smile.
Indeed, after arriving at White Spirit Mountain, Yang Liu Shi had not suffered any inhumane treatment. Even if she couldn't be considered a VIP, her treatment was not bad. She had been staying here for the past few days.
"Sister Liu, is the Ten Thousand Mountains fun? Does it not snow over there?"
At the table, the young maidservant's voice was clear and crisp, filled with envy.
She was a rabbit demon who had only recently taken human form.
"."
"Yes, it doesn't snow where we are."
On the other side, Yang Liu Shi replied with a smile, "Everywhere is deep mountains and dense forests, and it's very hot and humid every summer."
"Wow, I really want to go see it."
The young maidservant opened her mouth slightly, her eyes blinking, "I haven't left White Spirit Mountain since I was little. Sister Liu, since White Spirit Mountain is so far from the Ten Thousand Mountains, how did you get here?"
"I..."
Yang Liu Shi paused slightly, then shook her head with a smile, "Your Demon King doesn't allow me to say."
"Huh?"
The young maidservant widened her eyes, wanting to ask something, but in the end, she held back.
"Forget it, forget it, then I won't ask."
"Yes."
Yang Liu Shi nodded, subtly shifting the topic to something she wanted to know.
"By the way, I see that your king is still young but has already ascended to the position of Demon King. Is the Crescent Fox Clan that powerful in White Spirit Mountain?"
"Powerful is naturally powerful, but it's not just because of that."
"Sister Liu, let me tell you..."
Whether they are demons or humans, gossiping is always an interesting thing.
Therefore, the young maidservant quickly became excited and began to whisper about Su Xiu and Yan Huanwen's "scandal."
Just as she was getting excited, a small white shadow suddenly flashed past and leaped in through the open window.
"Ah! Miss!"
The young maidservant immediately stopped talking and hurriedly ran to the white shadow, "Why are you here again!"
Miss.
This is undoubtedly the term used by servants to address young ladies of the household.
Although the young maidservant only saw a small, snow-white fox, since this was White Spirit Mountain, there was nothing strange about it.
Therefore, the object of her speech was undoubtedly this white fox who had not yet transformed.
It was also the little fox that appeared in the Mountain God Temple and gave Yang Liu Shi the Eclipse Pearl.
"Ying ying!"
On the other side, the little fox didn't even look at the young maidservant. As soon as it entered the room, it went straight to Yang Liu Shi and only made a few soft whimpers of satisfaction after snuggling in the latter's arms.
Seeing this, the young maidservant had no choice but to sit back at the table, frowning and saying:
"Miss Liu, my miss doesn't know what's going on. She has never been so affectionate with anyone before."
"Is that so?"
Yang Liu Shi smiled, "Maybe it's because I'm also a fox demon."
"But there are many fox demons on White Spirit Mountain."
The young maidservant pouted, "Not to mention others, even the king has to put in a lot of effort to get close to the miss."
"Hmm?"
Yang Liu Shi narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly, "She is the daughter of your Demon King?"
"Yes."
The young maidservant nodded, "Our king has only given birth to one miss."
"Then..."
While holding the little fox who didn't know what they were talking about, Yang Liu Shi leaned in a little and asked in a low voice:
"Then her father is the Great Awakening Emperor?"
"This..."
The young maidservant immediately looked embarrassed, as if hesitating whether she could tell Yang Liu Shi about this kind of thing.
Yang Liu Shi was not in a hurry and waited with a natural expression.
However, at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Miss Liu, are you asleep?"
"The Demon King invites you to the Golden Hall now."
"."
White Spirit Mountain, Golden Hall.
The moment Yang Liu Shi saw Yan Huanwen, she immediately guessed the latter's identity.
However, she didn't show anything, just cupped her hands slightly towards Su Xiu and saluted:
"Greetings, Demon King."
"Yes."
Su Xiu nodded, glanced at Yan Huanwen with a smile.
"Miss Liu, this official is from the imperial court and wants to ask you some questions."
"Oh?"
Only then did Yang Liu Shi show a hint of surprise, turned around, and saluted Yan Huanwen again.
"Greetings, official."
"."
Without speaking immediately, Yan Huanwen just silently sized up Yang Liu Shi, his eyes not exactly fierce, but certainly not friendly.
After a long while, he finally asked indifferently:
"May I know the lady's full name?"
"Reporting to the official, this humble woman's surname is Liu, and her given name is Shi. My full name is Liu Shi."
"Liu Shi..."
Yan Huanwen nodded and asked again, "Then how did the lady discover the teleportation formation?"
"This little woman accidentally discovered it in a Mountain God Temple."
Yang Liu Shi lowered her head and replied, "A few days ago, this little woman was chased and killed by a group of bandits to the temple. During the fight, she accidentally smashed a statue of a god, and unexpectedly discovered a deep hole beneath the statue."
"This little woman had no way to escape at the time, so she could only hide in the hole first, not expecting to find another hole in the cave."
"Entering this hole again, I arrived here in a daze..."
"."
After listening to Yang Liu Shi's explanation, Yan Huanwen's expression remained unchanged, unable to tell whether he believed it or not.
He just stared at Yang Liu Shi and asked again:
"Are you aware that after you, another man was also teleported over?"
"Ah?"
Yang Liu Shi opened her mouth slightly, "This little woman doesn't know, but I think this person should be one of those bandits who wanted to persecute me."
"Bandits?"
Yan Huanwen narrowed his eyes, "So those bandits also know the location of the teleportation formation?"
"This..."
Yang Liu Shi shook her head with a bitter smile, "Official, that hole is not very hidden, and besides, the statue has already been broken, they can find it with a casual search."
"I'm afraid they just don't know what that hole is, so they sent one person in first, and didn't act rashly."
"."
"You are quite clever."
Yan Huanwen praised meaningfully, then stopped talking, just gave Su Xiu a look.
The latter immediately understood and said to Yang Liu Shi with a smile:
"Miss Liu, you can go back first. If nothing happens in a few days, this king will naturally let you return to Da Ning."
"Yes, thank you, Demon King."
After saluting the two again, Yang Liu Shi quickly exited the Golden Hall.
And after she left, Yan Huanwen spoke:
"Demon King, if this woman is telling the truth, then perhaps not many people in Da Ning know about the existence of this teleportation formation."
"Send some people over there immediately, perhaps we can still cover up this matter for a while."
"Hmm? Does Awakening King still want to defeat the enemy with a surprise attack?"
Su Xiu rolled her eyes at him, her tone frivolous.
But seeing Yan Huanwen's serious eyes, she still waved her hand a moment later and summoned a maidservant to her side.
"Go, tell Purple Mountain Hall to send dozens of people into the teleportation formation."
"If the situation is not right, come back immediately."
"If it is as Miss Liu said, then kill everyone and restore the Mountain God Temple to its original state."
"Yes."
The maidservant nodded, then quickly walked behind the screen and disappeared, presumably to send the message.
And almost a quarter of an hour later, when she reappeared, there was a bit of panic on her face.
She hurried to Su Xiu, leaned over and whispered urgently in the latter's ear:
"Demon King."
"This servant has sent the message three times, but there has been no response from Purple Mountain Hall..."
