I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 263 Go Back to Your Own Hometown
"Dig up trees?"

Upon hearing his trusted aide's report, the Golden-Winged Lion King was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Why dig up the tree?"

What's so interesting about digging up trees?

The trusted leopard demon didn't quite understand either, but seeing the human cub happily hugging the tree and heading towards the cave entrance every day, it pondered for a moment and said, "It must be because they like to eat fruit, right? Don't the human cultivators here also love to eat spiritual fruits? Some sects even cultivate them specially."

The Lion King thought it made sense.

Actually, as long as she doesn't throw bombs around, the Lion King can dig as she pleases.

"Go tell her that she can dig up any fruit trees in the demon realm, but she can't throw any more bombs. Not even one. After she's done, tell her to go back and that I will keep my promise and won't cross the line."

Even if you promise a lot of treasures now, I'm afraid not a single demon would be willing to go.

"Your Majesty, there's something else. Hongye, who serves the Queen, noticed that the person accompanying the little cub looks familiar. She suspects it's Lu Xingyun from the Jade Void Sect. We haven't dared report this to the Queen yet, fearing she might kill him without hesitation, thus angering the little cub and causing him to start throwing bombs everywhere."

The Lion King's brow twitched, and he looked up at his confidant, "Lu Xingyun? Are you sure it's him?"

"pretty close."

The hatred for killing one's son is irreconcilable. Not to mention the Demon Queen, it wanted to tear Lu Xingyun to pieces and devour him alive.

But the words of its confidant forced it to consider them carefully.

"I don't know if the little brat is protected by the Heavenly Dao or what, but the fact is we can't do anything about her right now. We finally reached an agreement with Han Meizi, but in reality, human cultivators are still eyeing us covetously, especially the Zhu family and the Jade Void Sect. The commotion that night was so great that it must have attracted the attention of some humans, but they just don't know the truth. If they knew that Your Majesty, killing Lu Xingyun would be easy, but if the little brat is colluding with the Jade Void Sect from the inside, our demon race may be in danger of extinction."

It didn't even mention that there was a third princess in the nearby Dragon's Breath Sea keeping a close eye on them, and it would be good enough if she didn't kick them when they were down.

The demon race is in grave danger!
The Lion King had no choice but to compromise temporarily, his eyes practically blazing with resentment. The other party was so arrogant as to come and linger in their demon realm, yet he was powerless against a mere human.

The Lion King emerged from the cave and looked up at the sky.

Is it under the protection of Heaven?
So that membrane wall really can't be moved?

Xiao Qi didn't care what happened to the Lion King; she spent all her time following the little fire pig around, searching for good things.

On the mountain, in the cave, on the ground, in the water.
She dug up and took everything she could get her hands on.

Things nourished by spiritual energy and grown wild are bound to be better than those from their area.

"Xiao Qi?"

That day, Xiao Qi and the little fire pig ran a bit too far. Xia Yunsong called out twice but no one answered. Just as he was about to go back and come back later, a man with a thick beard suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Is something wrong?"

Xia Yunsong was taken aback. He had never seen Lu Xiaowu before, and upon seeing him, he immediately became wary. "Who are you?"

"Lu Xingyun".

He knew the name; he had heard Zhang Jinwu mention it before. He was a disciple of the Jade Ancestor.

Xia Yunsong breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and picked up the fiery red thing behind him, handing it to him, "Take this thing with you."

Before Lu Xiaowu could even see what was in his hand, he heard the thing squawking and yelling, "Hey, hey, hey, how could you do this? You sent me back without my permission. So what if I ate your cake without your permission? Is it really that big of a deal? I'm not going back, I'm not going back, put me down, put me down now!"

Xia Yunsong's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You stole a cake without my permission? You steal it every day, all the time! You're the kind of person who eats everything except shit!"

"Xia Yunsong, you're talking nonsense!" Xia Yunsong didn't want to argue with this thing anymore. It wasn't just a glutton, it was also a chatterbox, always annoying people with either its food or its talking. Most importantly, if you didn't keep an eye on it, it would set things on fire.

I don't want to keep it anymore, really, I don't want to keep this thing for even a day longer.

So when Lao Zhang relayed the message that Xiao Qi wanted to make another mother-in-law's hairpin, Xia Yunsong was terrified.

However, this also served as a reminder to him. With the membrane broken and the passage opened, Xiao Qi found other little fire pigs in the demon realm, so he could take the opportunity to send this guy away.

Let it go home, back to its kind.

We've raised it for almost a year now. To be honest, I can't bring myself to let them eat it like a pig.

Thinking of this, Xia Yunsong's tone softened, no longer as harsh as before, and he advised:
"You originally came from the demon realm. Now that you're going back to your own home, back to your own kind, why aren't you happy?"

"Don't give me that," the fire pig pouted unhappily. "If you're disgusted and want to kick me out, just say so. What's with all this talk about going home to your own kind? It's all so hypocritical!"

Xia Yunsong:
I knew it was pointless to reason with it.

Xia Yunsong ignored its struggles and handed it to Lu Xiaowu.

"Hey you."

Fire Pig's eyes widened, still trying to argue for himself, but before he could finish a sentence, the bearded man opposite him grabbed him by the back of the neck, lifted him up, and tossed him into the air.

Fire Pig:
"save"

Bang!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled Xia Yunsong. He leaned closer to the cave entrance and asked worriedly, "Will you be alright?"

"Can't die."

After speaking expressionlessly, Lu Xiaowu disappeared without a trace.

He knew that many demons were keeping an eye on him, and he couldn't stay here any longer.

For the sake of the bigger picture, although the Demon King said he wouldn't touch him for the time being, the Demon Queen was a madwoman, and he didn't want to lose his life at the hands of this tigress for no reason.

When Xiao Qi returned, Lu Xiaowu said he was going to the snow mountain to find ice stones, which were one of the materials needed to repair the membrane wall.

Although the Golden-Winged Lion King promised to repair the membrane, they could not place all their hopes on a single demon. In case of unforeseen circumstances, they had to prepare for both possibilities.

“My dad went to the Grand Canyon but couldn’t find my grandpa. I guess he must have gone into Lingfeng Mountain.”

On the night the two moons coincided, Lin Yan exhausted most of his spiritual power and was finally successfully sent to Lingfeng Mountain by the Black Stone.

He had been inside for over a month by this time, but Lingfeng Mountain was too big. He walked around and stopped frequently, avoiding high-level demonic beasts and collecting any good items he came across.

In more than a month, they had only traversed a dense forest and hadn't even caught a glimpse of the phoenix.

However, he still remembered his promise to his granddaughter: every time he walked a certain distance, he would carve the letters "OK" on a stone or tree, hoping that Lu Xiaowu could find him by following the marks he left.

However, to Lin Yan's surprise, the rules of the Lingfeng Mountain Secret Realm were suddenly changed when it opened again, and only cultivators at or below the Golden Core stage could enter.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Xiaowu couldn't get in at all.
