#853 - Chapter 853: The Temptation of Meizu
Xiao Bai once again gave Xiao Qing, Ye Xiaoyao, and Ye Qingjun a contemptuous look, appearing as if disappointed in their potential, "How can you be deceived by mere appearances?"
The four flew into the sky, stood in the clouds, and transmitted their voices downwards: "Demons, listen up! The cultivators have arrived. Tell your leader to come out!"
Xiao Bai used his spiritual power to change his voice, instantly making it deep, powerful, stern, and filled with the wrath of thunder.
As expected, a commotion began to erupt in the skies above the black earth. The demons looked up at the sky, whispering amongst themselves.
Hiding beneath the black earth, the demon leader Yan Pu was currently sitting in his harem, enjoying wine and revelry with his concubines.
Ever since he had made contact with the otherworld, the otherworld had promised to impart the technique of the Holy Shield Spiritual Strike upon the completion of their task. This was crucial for the demons to live under the sun, so he felt that the demons' great cause was about to succeed.
Of course, as part of the deal, he had to attack other races and incite internal strife within the cultivation world.
In addition, the otherworld had made another request, which was to send water-attributed demon men and women to the otherworld to be used for the pleasure of the otherworld's nobles.
He had already sent out two batches. He ordered his guards to disguise themselves as thieves, abducting young men and women, and the third batch would be sent out in the next few days.
When the thunderous voice outside reached his ears, the demon leader Yan Pu was shocked. "Could it be that the cultivation world has noticed something so soon after the negotiations?"
Immediately, his heart was filled with anxiety. When a concubine handed him a cup of fine wine, he was in no mood to enjoy it.
"Get out!" Yan Pu knocked away the wine, then stood up and hurried out.
Leaving behind the concubines with faces full of astonishment, tears welling up in their eyes, prostrating on the ground, not daring to be angry or speak.
Demons have feet, but they never wear shoes, and their bodies are light, so floating is more comfortable and convenient for them.
Yan Pu quickly walked outside, followed by dozens of attendants.
The demons floating outside saw the leader come out and quickly bowed, saying, "Welcome, Leader!"
Yan Pu ignored them, but clasped his hands and looked at the sky, "May I ask the celestial masters from above, what brings you to visit my demon clan?"
His tone was completely devoid of his previous tyranny, but rather amiable and amiable, with an appearance of loyalty.
Xiao Bai and the others flew down and landed steadily on the black earth, in front of Yan Pu.
"It's not easy to see you," Xiao Bai said as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yan Pu was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer, "This... celestial master, it's all because my demon clan can't survive under the sun, so we can't often visit the cultivation world."
The sincerity of his reply made Xiao Qing, Ye Xiaoyao, and Ye Qingjun believe that Spiritual Senior had misunderstood the demons this time.
How loyal they were to the cultivation world, it was impossible for them to collude with the otherworld.
While Xiao Bai was thinking, should he just deal with this Yan Pu, or kill all the demons?
As a dignified leader, if he was truly dedicated, how could he become so fat? Xiao Bai looked at the thick fat on Yan Pu's face, his eyes squeezed so hard that even opening them was difficult. This... was truly speechless.
Immediately, in order to dispel the other party's vigilance, "We're just looking around as a formality, it's been a while since we've been here," Xiao Bai said casually.
Hearing this, Yan Pu's expression finally relaxed, and he immediately smiled and said, "That's great, I've prepared fine wine and food to welcome the four celestial masters!"
Xiao Bai didn't say any more, "In that case, we won't be polite," and followed Yan Pu into the underground palace.
The road leading into the underground palace was very wide, paved with bluestone slabs, and hung with rhombus-shaped palace lanterns on both sides, looking ancient and artistic.
The palace was not only spacious, but also very magnificent. The ceiling of the sleeping palace was made of sandalwood beams, crystal jade walls were used as lamps, pearls were used as curtains, and gilded metal was used as pillar bases. It could be described as carved beams and painted pillars, resplendent and magnificent.
They passed a pavilion, the four corners of the pavilion raised high, beautifully like four swallows about to spread their wings and fly.
"We'll be there after passing through, haha," Yan Pu made a gesture of invitation in the front side, smiling.
Xiao Bai was thinking in his heart, the hateful demon leader, built such a luxurious palace for himself. Even when he was the Demon Emperor, he had never seen such extravagance. It seemed that he must have stored a lot of treasures.
Thinking of this, a faint cold light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.
They arrived at the main hall of the banquet, which was very large, enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Each table was carved from thousand-year-old redwood, and the plates on the table were filled with fine white jade, exuding a natural and simple luster.
Along the way, Xiao Qing, Ye Xiaoyao, and Ye Qingjun always had a slightly stunned look on their faces. It seemed that it was the first time they had seen such a luxurious place.
As the Qingqiu Empress, Xiao Qing had naturally seen exquisitely decorated palaces, but generally speaking, the emperor's palace was not only luxurious, but also conveyed a kind of noble and domineering aura, which the demons did not have.
During the banquet, everyone raised their glasses and exchanged toasts. Yan Pu and his subordinates repeatedly offered wine, and Xiao Bai did not refuse anyone, appearing unrestrained and generous at the banquet, making it hard to believe that he was just a teenager.
Xiao Qing and the others were also stunned, how did this Xiao Bai senior brother's style change so suddenly? Where was the good boy in front of the master and senior sister?
When the wine reached its peak, Yan Pu clapped his hands twice, and a piece of music came from outside the palace. Accompanied by the passionate and enthusiastic rhythm, women wearing pink gauze entered lightly.
There was an empty circular platform in the hall, which seemed to be specially used for song and dance performances.
These dancing women in red gauze, each with delicate faces, skin like creamy jade, and eyebrows like ink paintings, were exquisitely carved and sculpted, more than ten times more beautiful than the beautiful faces seen in the black earth just now.
As Xiao Qing watched, the two fox ears on her head drooped unconsciously, and a blush appeared on her face.
Ye Qingjun even widened her eyes, revealing an envious expression, "These sisters are so beautiful!"
Ye Xiaoyao also uncontrollably showed an uncle's smile. When he realized his situation, he almost clenched his hands and forced himself to turn his head to look elsewhere, appearing as if his body and mind were suffering.
After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Bai's face, "Thank you, Leader Yan Pu, for your hospitality. We will definitely go back and say a few good words for you."
Hearing this, Yan Pu's face was overjoyed, "That's great, that's great!"
"You can play in my demon palace for a few more days before returning."
"In that case, wouldn't it be too much of a disturbance to Leader Yan Pu?" Xiao Bai looked a little embarrassed.
"No disturbance, no disturbance, please don't be so polite, celestial masters. Just play in my demon clan for a few days, our clansmen will also be hospitable."
Yan Pu had arched the flesh on his face to the extreme, Xiao Bai looked reluctant, "Alright."
