Li Shiqing was stunned.
Although she had been captured and brought to the Demon Territory, she hadn’t suffered any abuse these past few days. At most, the Demon Race had treated her a bit more harshly, but today, she had been slapped by someone that seemed to be from the Human Race, causing her to feel a bit dizzy.
Who was he? Why did he hit me?
Before she could even think of this, Li Shiqing felt a tightness in her chest. Looking up, she saw the man who had slapped her standing in front of her, one foot on her chest, looking down at her with a malevolent smile, “Do you know who I am?”
Li Shiqing shook her head in fear, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yang Kai stared blankly at her for a moment, wondering why this woman was acting so cowardly. At the very least, she was a Second-Order Empeor Realm, so why was she crying? It wasn’t that he really wanted to hit Li Shiqing, it was just that his current situation was because he had fallen into the Demon Path and betrayed the Star Boundary, which was not tolerated by many masters from the Star Boundary. At this time, it was only right for him to show a bit of anger and ruthlessness, but who would have thought that this slap would cause such trouble?
Without thinking too much about it, Yang Kai continued to maintain his fierce appearance and bared his teeth at Li Shiqing, “Look carefully, this King’s name is Yang Kai!”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shiqing seemed to be greatly shocked and stared at him in disbelief.
She had obviously heard of Yang Kai’s name before, but this person in front of her was completely different from what she had heard before. The Yang Kai she knew was the most dazzling star in the Star Boundary and would definitely shine brightly in the future, but this person in front of her was like a gambler who had just lost his pants.
Yang Kai continued to grin maliciously, “From now on, you’re mine, do whatever I tell you to do, if you dare say no, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death! Do you understand?”
Li Shiqing was in a daze until Yang Kai asked again, causing her to feel a sharp pain in her chest. Only then did she hurriedly nod, tears streaming down her face.
Yang Kai curled his lips, revealing a look of boredom as he removed his foot from the ground, turned around, and stretched out his hand towards the middle-aged Demon King, “Where is my Demon Crystal?”
The middle-aged Demon King immediately handed over the Space Ring he had prepared and looked at him with a complicated expression, thinking that it was no wonder the Saint Venerable had brought this person back to the Demon Territory. This Demonic Attribute was too strong.
Yang Kai put away the Space Ring, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he grinned at Bai Zhuo and said, “Brother Bai, I’ll take my leave now.”
Bai Zhuo smiled lightly and stood up, “Let’s go together, I also need to pay a visit to the Saint Venerable.”
Yang Kai naturally had no objections, so he called Xiao Wu to bring Li Shiqing and left the room.
As the two of them chatted, Yang Kai soon discovered that Bai Zhuo seemed to be trying to make friends with him, and his tone and attitude were quite enthusiastic. This made Yang Kai somewhat confused as to whether Bai Zhuo was giving Yu Rumeng face.
However, Bai Zhuo didn’t mention the one hundred million demon crystals, and Yang Kai didn’t intend to return them. In any case, to a Half-Saint, a hundred million demon crystals shouldn’t be much.
Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their path. Wherever this person stood, there was no one within a thousand meters radius. His aura swept out in all directions, causing many of the Demon Race to retreat.
Yue Sang!
This man must have received some news from the Blood Fighting Pit, so he had rushed over. Yang Kai glanced at Bai Zhuo thoughtfully, secretly guessing that he had already anticipated this and had accompanied him back to the palace. [Read on Hoogsway.com]
Otherwise, if he were to be surrounded by Yue Sang all by himself, he wouldn’t be able to gain anything.
At this moment, Yue Sang’s eyes were spitting fire as his blood surged and his killing intent soared. After glancing over at Yang Kai and Li Shiqing, he stared at Bai Zhuo indifferently and coldly asked, “Why do you insist on meddling in this king’s business?”
Bai Zhuo chuckled lightly, “Since I have nothing to do, I must find some entertainment.”
Yue Sang coldly snorted and pointed at Yang Kai, “30 Myriad Demon Pills, hand this person over to me.”
Myriad Demon Pills? Yang Kai’s eyes flashed. What the hell was this? However, from the meaning of Yue Sang’s words, it was clear that he wanted to use these thirty Myriad Demon Pills to exchange for Bai Zhuo’s hand. In this kind of place, as long as Bai Zhuo retreated, Yue Sang could do whatever he wanted. Although this place was right under Yu Rumeng’s nose, as long as Yue Sang acted fast enough, there shouldn’t be any traces left behind.
Sweeping his eyes over Bai Zhuo, he found that this fellow’s expression had changed slightly, immediately understanding what kind of amazing treasure the Myriad Demon Pill was.
But that was all. Bai Zhuo slowly shook his head, “I’m afraid I can’t let you have your way.”
“Fifty pills!”
Bai Zhuo put his hand to his forehead and smiled bitterly, “What a tempting bargaining chip…”
“Eighty pills!” Yue Sang raised his voice, feeling the pain of having a few kilograms of flesh cut off, “This is This King’s last line.”
Bai Zhuo turned his head to look at Yang Kai, then back at Li Shiqing, a look of interest appearing on his face, causing Yang Kai’s heart to tighten. Fortunately, Bai Zhuo didn’t agree and simply said, “Can you change it? I’ll return this woman to you.” He pointed at Li Shiqing.
“Don’t even think about it!” Yang Kai angrily glared at him, “This is my spoils of war!”
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo shrugged towards Yue Sang, “Then there’s no other way.”
Yue Sang’s face sank as he coldly said, “Are you sure you won’t regret this? You should know that provoking this King won’t do you any good.”
Bai Zhuo smiled lightly, “Don’t try to scare me, this King is well aware of how capable you are, Yue Sang. If I were you, I would worry about my current situation first. Do you think the Saint Venerable will let you off so easily?”
When Yue Sang heard this, he couldn’t help becoming silent, his sharp aura suddenly erupting, causing Yang Kai to tense up.
Bai Zhuo continued to add fuel to the fire, “If you don’t act, we’ll be leaving.”
Saying so, he actually called out to Yang Kai and the others. With him in front of them, the group of people didn’t suffer any obstructions and the aura of a Half-Saint was like a gentle breeze.
Not long after, the group brushed past Yue Sang. Yang Kai turned his head and saw that Yue Sang’s face was twisted to the extreme as he clenched his fists, seemingly trying to suppress his impulse to attack.
If he were to really fight with Bai Zhuo here, not only would he not have any chance of winning, even Yu Rumeng’s punishment would be unbearable. Seeing Yang Kai and the others leave, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
When they were far away from Yue Sang, Yang Kai also let out a sigh of relief and glanced sideways at Bai Zhuo, “Did you really want to make a deal with him just now?”
Bai Zhuo couldn’t help laughing, “How is that possible? If I really did that, wouldn’t the Saint Venerable kill me?” As he spoke, he glanced at Li Shiqing, whose eyes were red and swollen, “As for this woman, if she could be exchange for 80 Myriad Demon Pills, it would be a good deal.”
“What is the Myriad Demon Pill?” Yang Kai took this opportunity to ask.
Bai Zhuo pretended to be mysterious and said, “You’ll know in the future, it’s useless to ask now.”
Since he was unwilling to speak, Yang Kai changed the subject.
Not long after, they arrived at the palace and Bai Zhuo went to see Yu Rumeng before parting ways with Yang Kai.
Returning to his residence, Yang Kai asked Xiao Wu to arrange a room for Li Shiqing while he took the map he had bought and hid in his room to study it.
On the Demon Territory’s side, he couldn’t count on anyone, so it wasn’t convenient for him to casually inquire about the whereabouts of the Bright Moon Great Emperor, so he could only work hard.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Demon Territory was vast, and there were no less than five or six hundred fragmented continents. Although some were large and some were small, the total area was definitely much larger than the Star Boundary.
Trying to find traces of the Bright Moon Great Emperor in so many fragmented continents was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack!
For a moment, he had no idea what to do, causing him to scratch his ears and cheeks.
Just as he was at his wit’s end, he suddenly thought of Li Shiqing. This woman had been in the Demon Territory for quite some time now, and although she was in a bad situation, perhaps she knew something.
Putting away the map, he opened the door and walked out.
Summoning Xiao Wu, Yang Kai asked where Li Shiqing lived and went straight to her place.
The place Xiao Wu arranged for Li Shiqing was not far from Yang Kai’s room, so he only needed to take a few turns to arrive.
Pushing open the door, Yang Kai stepped inside and glanced around, only to see Li Shiqing curled up in a corner, her arms wrapped around her legs, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes filled with tears.
Hearing the noise, Li Shiqing looked up and saw that it was Yang Kai. Her body subconsciously trembled, obviously remembering Yang Kai’s violent behaviour towards her. She couldn’t help wanting to retreat, but with the wall behind her, how could she retreat?
Yang Kai grinned wickedly, causing her to feel even more terrified.
Reaching out, Yang Kai closed the door and strode towards her.
Li Shiqing’s entire body froze, her beautiful eyes widening and her breathing stagnating as she stared helplessly at the imposing figure blocking the light above her head.
Yang Kai looked down at her from above and couldn’t help feeling a bit strange. After all, Yu Rumeng had appeared in front of him as her for a long time.
Raising his hand slightly, he drew a chair over.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to move, Li Shiqing suddenly reached out and grabbed her head, whispering, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me…”
Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Was this woman really the disciple of Great Emperor Flower Shadow? How could she be so timid? How did she cultivate to the Second-Order Emperor Realm? Or was it because Great Emperor Flower Shadow was too protective of her that she developed such a weak personality?
Sitting on a chair, Yang Kai raised his hand and knocked her head lightly.
In the next instant, Li Shiqing collapsed to the ground, her eyes tightly shut.
Yang Kai blinked and reached out with a strange expression to check if she was breathing, then used his Divine Sense to check if she was breathing. Li Shiqing had actually fainted.
What the hell was going on? He hadn’t even said a single word. He had originally wanted to ask her some questions, but now he couldn’t.
Helpless, Yang Kai could only wait.
