I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 238 The Demon King Returns

Boom! Crack!

The third bolt of lightning struck without warning, splattering half of the little demons who had rushed in.

Black Maple stood protectively in front of Xiao Qi, refraining from killing the remaining majority. Firstly, there was a distance; if they didn't come closer, there was no need for it to go. Secondly, a giant eagle had suddenly appeared in the sky.

It is a high-level demon beast.

Black Maple remembered it; the night the Little Demon King died, the Demon Queen rode this giant eagle to the border.

So, having lost her water mount, she switched to a celestial one?

The ink turtle in the water was sent to the modern world, where it was almost beaten to death by Qiao Tai, and finally captured and locked up by Zhang Jinwu.

There was only a giant eagle, not the Demon Queen, so the commotion here was too great and attracted the attention of the Demon Queen who was on the border, so she specially sent the giant eagle back to investigate the situation.
Black Maple wanted to cut it down.

Or it would be better to strike it dead with lightning, so it wouldn't have to go back and report.

Boom! Crack!

Black Maple froze instantly, staring blankly at the huge figure that had been struck by lightning in mid-air. It stood frozen for a second, then, accompanied by the unpleasant smell of burnt feathers, it plummeted straight down.

Ahhhhhhhh.
Black Maple wanted to scream loudly, how could its little master's heavenly lightning be so powerful?

How can they be so obedient, so cute, so arrogant, so cool?
Having followed Xiaoqi for so long, it has unconsciously learned some words, and it uses them regardless of whether they are correct or not.

Boom! Crack!

It was probably because the Nascent Soul stage was about to be completed that the thunderclouds became thicker and the heavenly lightning became more intense. They had just finished striking the giant eagle and were still catching their breath when another bolt of lightning struck down.

just
Black Maple shook its trembling blade. It had no mouth; if it did, it would surely spew out a thick cloud of smoke.

How come you can't distinguish between friend and foe after just praising someone?

Why would you chop it up?

Having spent so much time in the modern world, it had almost forgotten that heavenly lightning could not only temper the body of cultivators, but also temper the blade of its own weapon.

It just doesn't want to be quenched.

Boom! Crack!

Another bolt of lightning struck, but thankfully it didn't hit Black Maple again. Instead, it struck the giant eagle that had just fallen to the ground and was now completely bald.

Without the protection of feathers, the giant eagle's meat was cooked through; the skin was slightly blackened, but the inside should be thoroughly cooked. If it were sprinkled with some cumin and chili powder, it would be especially fragrant.

Xiao Qi was distracted for a moment by the aroma of meat, but she quickly refocused. The Nascent Soul stage was only one step away, and she needed to finish it as soon as possible.

It's so annoying, I'm always getting distracted.

She swallowed hard and decided to temporarily block out her sense of smell so that she couldn't smell anything.

Boom! Crack! Boom!

As time went on, the lightning became more and more frequent, but it only struck around her. Eighteen bolts of lightning passed by, and she wasn't even struck by a single hair.

Those who are favored by Heaven should not be too obvious.

Looking around, the little demons that the one-eyed leopard brought had all been hacked to pieces, some even completely destroyed, leaving only a handful of black ash.

After chopping down the little demons, they started chopping down the orchid rabbit and the one-eyed leopard. Even though the two were far away from the minefield, they were still chased and chopped down, and were even driven into the middle of the minefield.

After all thirty-six bolts of lightning struck, the one-eyed leopard and the orchid rabbit were still alive, but they were seriously injured and their cultivation levels had dropped significantly, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit stage.

The two demons lay on the ground, barely alive, their bodies as black as charcoal. They had no interest in anything else now—no more magic weapons, no more catching this little devil and skinning him alive. They wanted to go home.

The two demons struggled to their feet, trying to force themselves to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible, when suddenly the sky cleared, and the auspicious, seven-colored clouds shone brilliantly in the sunlight, far more beautiful than the jewels in the Demon King's palace. The phantoms of auspicious beasts like the Qilin descended through the air, circling above the human brat in celebration.

Next comes the rain that heals internal injuries.

The two demons were overjoyed. They looked up at the sky expectantly, waiting for the rain to fall on them.

puff puff!

Suddenly, two strange sounds came, and the two demons noticed that the sky was spinning.

No, it's not the sky that's spinning, it's their heads that's spinning.

"Hurry! The Demon King is back."

Lu Xiaowu swiftly harvested the corpses of the two demons, not even having time to dig out their demon cores before putting them into his storage bag. Then, he grabbed Xiao Qi, who had just survived her tribulation, and disappeared in a flash.

The sky, which was about to shower down rain, vanished without a trace after the phantom of the auspicious beast disappeared.

They had barely walked a few breaths when a lion with flapping wings came galloping from another direction and arrived at the palace gate in the blink of an eye.

The lion landed on the ground, retracted its wings, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in golden brocade.

Its face was ashen as it glared at the palace, which was now almost in ruins, before turning its head to look towards its back garden.

Even without going there, it can see the scene inside very clearly.

Momohime is gone!

Not seeing the one-eyed leopard and the blue rabbit, it guessed that the two had most likely met with misfortune as well.

The Demon King looked up at the sky, which had returned to normal, his brown eyes filled with dark clouds.

Suddenly it took to the air again, about to chase after Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi when it was stopped by a figure.

"Demon King, it's quite lively here."

The Demon King paused, then stopped and greeted the other party, "Third Princess, what brings you out today?"

"I've come to you for the answer."

A stunningly beautiful woman in a silver dress stood in mid-air and coldly asked the Demon King, "I come here once a year, and the Demon King is always in seclusion. Now that you have emerged from seclusion, give me an answer: Where is my son?"

Why didn’t you come earlier or later, but at this time?

Could the demon king suspect that the person who attacked his palace was related to the dragon princess in front of him?
Was it all just to force it to find the egg?
Where can it find that?!
The Demon King was furious, but he dared not provoke the Dragon Clan, and more importantly, the Dragon Clan had leverage over him.

The dragon egg that the third princess had hatched produced a small black python, which belonged to their demon clan.

It's obvious that the third princess's egg was switched.

What makes it even more inexplicable is that the little black python that was imprisoned by the Third Princess later disappeared.

It's unclear whether they died, were rescued, or escaped on their own, but the last possibility is unlikely.

Regardless of the reason, this matter is inevitably related to their demon race.

However, the Demon King dared not and could not reveal the results of the investigation. The demons whose cultivation levels had dropped due to injuries, as well as some demons below the Foundation Establishment stage, were sent to another world. Among them were many snakes, and it was very likely that the mother of the little black python was among them.

The birth of a jade dragon is supposed to be accompanied by extraordinary phenomena, but there haven't been any for so long. What does this mean?
This suggests that the dragon egg belonging to the Third Princess may have been taken to another world, or perhaps eaten or destroyed.

See you tomorrow!
