The Gate Between Two Realms, from Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit to Fox Spirit Matchmaker

Chapter 122 The Poison King of the Southern Kingdom, Huan Du Qing Tian

"Excuse me, miss, I was just strolling around and accidentally wandered in here."

"Leave now."

Rainbow Cat didn't want to cause trouble; he could tell that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person.

In order to avoid trouble, he immediately planned to turn around and leave.

But before he could take two steps, Huan Du Luolan had already placed her hand on his shoulder.

A strange, poisonous gas instantly enveloped Rainbow Cat's surroundings.

"What terrible luck."

"We've only just gotten close, and we've already encountered a powerful cultivator."

Rainbow Cat didn't move rashly. He could sense that the poison was definitely more potent than that of Poison Lady.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any hostility; they just wanted to trap him.

Rainbow Cat simply didn't move and waited for Huan Du Luo Lan to come.

"Since you didn't look around, I, the princess, will spare you."

"But why did you, an outsider, come here?"

"If you don't give me a proper reason, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Huan Du Luo Lan, as a princess, is not just willful and domineering.

She could tell at a glance that Rainbow Cat was no ordinary person.

Since she was neither a sad person nor had she suddenly come close to the imperial city, her first reaction was that Rainbow Cat had some ulterior motive.

"I am indeed not from the Southern Kingdom, but I do not wish to cause trouble."

"I wonder, Your Highness, if you would be so kind as to intervene?"

Rainbow Cat looked at the purple poisonous gas around him, but chose not to move. He simply looked calmly at Huan Du Luo Lan.

He never expected that he would be so lucky.

You might just bump into this legendary princess of the Southern Kingdom while you're just wandering around.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Our southern country is very far away from all the forces at large."

"No one will choose to come near us and invite trouble."

Huan Du Luo Lan snorted coldly, took out a dagger from her waist, and placed it on Hong Mao's neck.

It seemed as if she would plunge that sharp dagger in if the answer was unsatisfactory.

"I've long heard about the Southern Poison King's efforts to recruit horses for the princess."

"I am unworthy, but I have long admired the princess."

"Therefore, as an outsider, I couldn't help but try my luck near the capital to see if I could catch a glimpse of the princess."

Rainbow Cat was somewhat helpless at this point, and could only try to escape by following the rumors he had heard.

His words made Huan Du Luo Lan frown slightly and look into Hong Mao's eyes.

"Then why did you turn and run away when you saw me, the princess?"

"You can't really argue with that, can you?"

Huan Du Luo Lan chuckled softly, now also intrigued, wanting to see Hong Mao's reply.

"I have never met the princess, so I naturally do not know your true identity."

"And I'm leaving simply because I don't want to be misunderstood."

Rainbow Cat smiled awkwardly, thinking that it would be great if he could slip through the mud unnoticed.

If that doesn't work, then he will have no choice but to circulate his true energy and forcefully break out.

This trip to the South could only come to an end like this.

"What a sharp-tongued young master."

"If that's really the case, then why not show your true colors?"

"In my opinion, you are an enemy from the south, sent to spy on my southern kingdom."

Huan Du Luolan narrowed her eyes slightly; she wasn't so easily fooled.

But just as she was about to make her move, the poison gas she had been manipulating dissipated completely.

Her expression also became somewhat strange at that moment.

"Come with me, or else..."

"Don't blame me if you die here."

Huan Du Luolan snorted coldly and walked towards the imperial city.

As Rainbow Cat watched the poisonous gas dissipate from his body, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

He dared not enter easily; it was clear that going inside would bring great trouble.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Huan Du Luo Lan snorted coldly, turned her head and looked at Hong Mao with a dissatisfied expression.

Hearing her words, Rainbow Cat sighed softly and followed her.

Although the princess's cultivation level was not as high as his own, Rainbow Cat could sense that she was definitely not joking when she said those words.

Therefore, even though Rainbow Cat didn't know the other party's intentions, he could only obediently follow them.

Anyway, the seven days are up. If he encounters any danger, he can go back first to maintain his condition.

At least for now, he still has some trump cards up his sleeve, so he's not in any real danger.

Soon, Rainbow Cat followed Huan Du Luo Lan into the palace compound, and they stopped outside a back garden.

"Father, I have brought the person."

Huan Du Luolan looked inside with some dissatisfaction. The poison gas she had just released had completely dissipated.

It wasn't caused by Rainbow Cat, but by the legendary Poison King of the South, who secretly caused it.

Furthermore, he also sent Huan Du Luolan and her entourage to see him.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

"Let that kid come in by himself."

An aged voice came from inside to their ears. Huan Du Luo Lan looked at Hong Mao with some confusion, but said nothing and turned to leave.

Rainbow Cat, however, was even more curious and found it somewhat strange.

Why does Huan Du Qingtian want to see me?

After entering, Rainbow Cat also saw the legendary Demon Emperor.

He was just an old man dressed in southern clothing, short in stature, and with a pipe in his mouth.

He looks no different from any other elderly person.

However, Rainbow Cat dared not underestimate his opponent. As the oldest demon emperor, Huan Du Qing Tian might not be the strongest among the demon emperors.

It is undoubtedly the most authoritative and the one that no one dares to provoke.

"Junior Rainbow Cat greets Senior Poison King."

Rainbow Cat looked at the old man in front of him and directly revealed his true form, bowing to Huan Du Qingtian.

He knew that with his current abilities, he couldn't stir up the slightest trouble in the eyes of the person in front of him.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as simple as raising their hand.

"Not bad, you've got guts, kid."

"Killing the Dao Alliance members is enough."

"Those who killed my Southern Kingdom dare to come to the Imperial City; they truly have no regard for their lives."

"Didn't your Tushan leader tell you that everything within this Southern Kingdom's imperial city is right under my nose?"

Huan Du Qingtian looked at Hongmao with great interest.

He wanted to see if Rainbow Cat was really that capable and courageous.

The news that a prodigy comparable to the Golden Generation had emerged among the demon race had already spread to all factions.

For a demon to comprehend sword intent is an extremely difficult thing.

Rainbow Cat not only accomplished this, but he even managed to defeat the eldest disciple of the Divine Mountain Villa.

To put it bluntly, in Huan Du Qingtian's opinion, among the younger generation of demons, no one is a match for Hong Mao.

"I meant no harm."

"Killing the Poison Master was nothing more than an accident."

"If he hadn't been so ruthless towards the younger generation, he wouldn't have died."

"I believe that you are not the kind of person who refuses to listen to explanations."

Rainbow Cat clasped his hands together and looked at Huan Du Qingtian with a sincere expression.

He knew that since Huan Du Qingtian hadn't killed him in the first place, there must have been a reason.

As long as he doesn't do anything to anger Huan Du Qingtian, he'll be fine.

"Hmph, he's a clever kid."

"It's no wonder you're so famous now."

"Then I'll speak frankly."

"Leave Tushan, enter the gates of my southern kingdom, and become my son-in-law."

"I will take care of the matter concerning the Poison Master for you."

Huan Du Qingtian laughed heartily twice, his gaze towards Hong Mao filled with admiration.

In his view, if such young people could be recruited by the government, it would indeed be a good thing for the South.

The younger generation of the major clans in the South are mostly second-generation rich kids with no real skills.

But Rainbow Cat is different. He could see Rainbow Cat's talent at a glance. In the future, let alone becoming a great demon king, it is very likely that he will even take a step further.

The last person with such talent and ability was Tu Shan Hong Hong, the lord of Tu Shan.

"What if I don't agree?"

Rainbow Cat was also surprised; he never expected that Huan Du Qingtian was trying to poach his employees.

However, Rainbow Cat didn't care much about this; he was just curious whether he had a choice.

"If you don't agree, then die here."

"Poisonous Lady is from my Southern Kingdom. You killed her husband, so naturally I need to give her an explanation."

"If you're one of us, I can refuse to give you this explanation."

"But if not, then you'll only be able to die here."

Huan Du Qingtian casually waved his hand and then revealed Rainbow Cat's fate.

He had known about the Poisonous Woman for a long time, but he didn't get involved because of the issue of seniority.

As the Poison King and the master of the Southern Kingdom, he didn't want outsiders to say that the Southern Kingdom bullied the weak.

But since Rainbow Cat has already come over, and he has indeed taken a liking to him, he wants to try to win him over.

"Senior, shouldn't this matter be decided by the princess?"

"Besides, I am not from the South, so why not choose someone from the South?"

Rainbow Cat was puzzled. In this vast southern country, was there really no one the other party could take a liking to?

If he insists on separating himself from Tushan, wouldn't that make Hongmao appear disloyal and unjust?

"If there were a suitable girl in the South, I would have made arrangements long ago."

"Unfortunately, after all these years, you can probably see the situation in the South."

"It's getting worse every year. Those aristocratic scions are just wasting their lives."

"Therefore, I have chosen you, a demon who did not come from any of the major powers."

"You've only become a disciple of Tushan, you haven't signed a contract of servitude, what are you afraid of?"

"Besides, your master wouldn't dare say a word against me."

Huan Du Qingtian's lips curled up slightly, his eyes brimming with confidence.

He believed that anyone he set his sights on was definitely not a nobody.

Moreover, given his status, he believed that getting Rainbow Cat to agree to this would absolutely not be beneath Rainbow Cat's dignity.

As for Rainbow Cat, he remained silent at this moment.

He could tell that Huan Du Qingtian was definitely not joking with him.

If he refuses, Huan Du Qingtian will probably kill him immediately.

The difference in strength between the two was so great that Rainbow Cat didn't even have the desire to run away.

"Senior, why can't the Southern Kingdom and Tushan form a marriage alliance?"

"Wouldn't that be a better solution?"

Rainbow Cat still wanted to try, after all, betraying his master was by no means a glorious thing.

And Huan Du Qingtian certainly knew what he was thinking.

"Don't try to persuade me; you only have two choices."

"Either grant my request, or die."

"You're a smart man. Knowing that running away is useless, you have no choice but to agree to my request."

"I have already summoned Luo Lan."

"As long as she agrees, I will choose an auspicious day for you to get married."

Huan Du Qingtian was now even more convinced that he could handle Hong Mao.

He could tell at a glance that Rainbow Cat was a smart person, and also someone who valued his life.

Such a person is either very ambitious or cowardly.

Having lived for so many years, Huan Du Qingtian is more inclined to believe that Hong Mao is the former.

He naturally knew that offending Tushan was not a good thing.

But there's no way around it; the South lacks talent. Even though Huan Du Luo Lan is quite gifted and knows how to take care of people's livelihoods, she will never reach his level in the future.

In the future, the Southern Kingdom will need a pillar of strength to emerge in order to preserve its territory.

"Father, you called for me."

Huan Du Luo Lan walked over and saw Rainbow Cat.

Although she knew that Rainbow Cat was not in his true form before, a look of surprise still flashed in her eyes when she saw Rainbow Cat's true form.

Because from Rainbow Cat's appearance and aura, it's easy to tell at a glance that this is the demon race's most famous prodigy.

"Yes, this is the husband Father Emperor has chosen for you."

"Take a look and see if you're satisfied."

Huan Du Qingtian could also tell that Hongmao's identity had been recognized.

He then looked at his daughter with a smile.

As a father, he naturally knew his daughter's thoughts. She didn't like any of the noble young men from the Southern Kingdom because none of them met her standards.

They're all just a bunch of good-for-nothing rich kids who live off their ancestors' legacy but have no real skills of their own.

As the daughter of the Poison Emperor, Huan Du Luolan naturally had high standards, and the person she wanted to choose was someone who could truly compare to her father.

"Father, have you forgotten that he was the one who killed the Poisonous Lady's husband?"

"At this moment, the Poisonous Lady is searching for his whereabouts all over the southern lands."

"If I were to marry him, how would I face the Poisonous Woman?"

Huan Du Luolan did not refuse, but instead gave a reason.

The Five Poison Protectors have followed her for so many years. Even if they haven't made any great contributions, they have certainly put in a lot of hard work. How could she do this and chill the heart of the Poison Lady?

"Hmph, what if her husband deserved to die?"

"He plundered people everywhere to satisfy his personal desires."

"I heard about this matter a long time ago. If it had resulted in a death, I would have killed him with my own hands long ago."

"Why wait for this kid to make a move?"

Huan Du Qingtian snorted coldly; the mere mention of this matter had already ignited his anger.

His words were not just an expression of anger, but also a warning to Huan Du Luo Lan.
