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

Chapter 127 The Frustrated Finances of the Southern Kingdom

Rainbow Cat pondered for a moment. Now that he knew Dada's concerns, he at least knew how to resolve them.

He already has a solution in his mind.

That would be to use magical artifacts to transform Hundred Herbs Valley into a place that would be difficult for the Demonic Sect to discover, and even if the Demonic Sect did discover it, it would be difficult for them to break in.

In the past, it might not have been so easy for him to do.

But now, as the prince consort of the Southern Kingdom and even a disciple of Tushan, Rainbow Cat is certainly confident that he can accomplish this.

The power of magical artifacts is not just limited to their astonishing strength.

Once Lady Dada is taught how to use her magical powers, using magical artifacts will surely be much easier.

"Young hero Rainbow Cat, thank you for your trouble!"

"As long as my wife and children are safe, I, Dada, will stand with the Seven Swords even at the cost of my life!"

Dada was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and bowed deeply to Rainbow Cat.

He wasn't the kind of selfish person who was afraid of death; it was just that his heart was with his wife and children, which made it difficult for him to focus on the Seven Swords Combination.

"Don't worry, Dada."

"If Rainbow Cat says something, there's definitely a way to do it, and he can definitely make it happen."

DouDou knows HongMao's character very well; he would never say something he couldn't do.

Since Rainbow Cat has a way, they have successfully gathered the Whirlwind Sword, the sixth sword.

At this moment, Rainbow Cat also began to consider his next plan.

"Okay, let's rest in Baicao Valley for a few days first."

"Blue Rabbit, Sally, you two should first teach Madam Da to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and understand how demonic power operates."

Rainbow Cat pondered for a moment, and then figured out exactly what to do.

Since the Southern Kingdom is one of the major powers of the demon race, it must possess some powerful magical treasures.

Given his status, if he were to ask Huan Du Luo Lan for help, he certainly wouldn't be refused.

"Okay, we understand."

"Mrs. Da, please come with us."

Blue Rabbit and Sally nodded, and then led Madam Da into the Valley of Herbs.

Dada, unaware of the matter of demonic power, was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing Rainbow Cat's words.

As for Dada, Rainbow Cat instructed Dou Dou to arrange for him to cultivate his demonic power.

Demonic power greatly enhances the physical body; as long as Dada cultivates demonic power, his strength will definitely see a significant improvement.

As long as the martial arts skills of the Seven Swords' successors improve, the combined power of the Seven Swords will also become greater in the future.

As for Rainbow Cat himself, he found a place to cultivate on his own.

His martial arts skills have already fallen far behind those of the Seven Swordsmen.

In the future, he will definitely be a key force in dealing with the evil cult.

By the seventh day, Dada and Madam Da had been able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into a trace of demonic power for their own use.

With his guidance, the two gained a deeper and deeper understanding of demonic power.

Rainbow Cat didn't linger there. After a brief period of cultivation, he prepared to return to the Southern Kingdom.

Once inside the scene and the inner light gate is activated, Rainbow Cat has already returned to the Southern Kingdom.

At this time, the sky in the south was still dark.

"This place in the South looks better than I imagined."

Rainbow Cat walked out of the palace, looked at the night outside, and couldn't help but sigh.

This was the first time he had ever lived in such a magnificent palace.

Although the South is not as prosperous as it was a thousand years ago, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even today, the South remains one of the world's top regions.

Just as Rainbow Cat was feeling the cold wind and preparing to go back, he turned around and saw a boy standing beside him.

Rainbow Cat was astonished that he could do it so easily without being noticed.

"Just as rumored, the prince consort is indeed a handsome and talented man."

"However, Your Highness, there's no need to be so nervous."

"I am Poison Child, one of the Five Poison Protectors, and also a subordinate of Her Highness the Princess."

Poison Child revealed a harmless smile and bowed slightly to Rainbow Cat.

However, his self-introduction did not dispel Rainbow Cat's wariness.

"Even if a great demon king gets close to me, I won't be completely unaware."

"Although your cultivation level appears to be at the Demon King realm."

"But I can sense that you are different from ordinary demon kings."

Rainbow Cat slowly reached out and touched the Rainbow Sword behind him.

Although he had just killed the Poisonous Lady, as the prince consort of the Southern Kingdom, he really shouldn't be causing trouble.

But his intuition told him that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and his identity was definitely not just that of the Five Poison Protectors.

Rainbow Cat possesses an inner vision, and his mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

He can see through things that others cannot. As his control over his inner world improves, this ability to see through the essence of things becomes more and more proficient.

He could see through even the supernatural powers of the Six-Eared Macaque, let alone the disguise of the person in front of him.

"As expected of a young expert who has already grasped the essence of swordsmanship."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already grasped the inner vision, haven't you?"

"This is truly a rare occurrence."

Poison Child looked at Rainbow Cat in front of him, his previously harmless smile completely gone.

His aura gradually became ethereal, making him unfathomable.

"Who exactly are you?"

Rainbow Cat had already drawn his Rainbow Sword, and the opponent gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

Even more dangerous than Huan Du Qingtian and Tu Shan Honghong.

This made Rainbow Cat nervous, as people are often most wary of the unknown.

At moments like this, Rainbow Cat couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about Poison Child.

"Don't worry so much, I'm not your enemy."

"I also hope you won't tell anyone my identity."

"As for my identity, you should have already guessed it, right?"

Poison Child smiled slightly, not revealing his true form, but instead looking at Rainbow Cat with great interest.

"The mists of Aolai, the fragrance of flowers and fruits, the Dinghai staff—ten thousand demons bow down..."

"You are from Aolai Kingdom..."

Rainbow Cat took a deep breath and immediately guessed the other party's identity.

At the same time, Rainbow Cat also put away the Rainbow Sword, because he knew that even if he used all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to deal with his opponent.

Right now, it's practically impossible for him to fight against his opponent.

So, it's better to just be honest and see what the other party is up to.

"He's really a smart person; no wonder Second Sister has her eye on him."

"At such a young age, he already possesses such talent and vision."

"You've got guts too. I'm even thinking of bringing you into our Aolai Kingdom."

Poison Child narrowed his eyes slightly, even though he knew Rainbow Cat could guess his identity.

Unexpectedly, the other party calmly put the Rainbow Sword back.

This alone is something that ordinary people cannot do.

"You must be the legendary Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom."

"I've heard my master mention you. With your strength and status, you shouldn't need to do these things, right?"

Why did you come to the South?

Rainbow Cat was puzzled. The other party clearly had such a status and even such great strength.

Why would someone recognized as the strongest person in the world do such a thing?

"It's just a boring pastime."

"Don't tell anyone who I am."

"I was just curious about you, so I came to check it out."

The Third Young Master waved his hand, signaling Rainbow Cat not to reveal his identity.

He didn't tell Rainbow Cat that this was just an avatar of himself.

At the same time, he has more than just the one that Rainbow Cat has seen, and he has more than just the Southern Kingdom.

Even in other places, such as the Dao Alliance, Tushan, and the Western Regions, there are their own external avatars.

"This junior knows, and will certainly not reveal the Third Young Master's identity to outsiders."

Rainbow Cat nodded; he knew that important figures like this often had rather eccentric ways of doing things.

Rather than going around telling everyone and offending the people in front of you, it's better to pretend you don't know.

"Not bad, you're to my liking."

The third young master's lips curled up slightly. Seeing that Rainbow Cat had agreed, he didn't linger any longer.

Right now, he's just an avatar, and if he's not careful, Huan Du Qingtian could easily discover him.

So, his first action was to turn around and leave.

As the Third Young Master's figure gradually disappeared from his sight, Rainbow Cat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are still too many people in this world who are better than me."

"They are beings who have cultivated for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."

"Compared to them, my foundation is too shallow."

Rainbow Cat shook his head; tonight was just a minor incident.

He was able to guess the Poison Child's true identity mainly because the three leaders of Tushan had all mentioned this young master to him.

There's also Princess Liu Er of Aolai Kingdom, whom Hongmao has heard mention of, which is how he guessed her identity.

However, this meeting was far from simple.

"Forget it, why bother with all that?"

"Anyway, with my abilities, I can't interfere that much."

Rainbow Cat thought about it carefully and decided to ignore everything. He returned to the palace and immediately went to sleep.

He didn't go to the side hall until he woke up the next day, where he found Huan Du Luolan handling government affairs.

"What's wrong, my good prince consort?"

"You woke up so early to come see me, is there something you need?"

The arrival of Rainbow Cat did not stop Huan Du Luo Lan from what she was doing, but she still looked up curiously and asked.

"I would like to borrow a few magical artifacts from the princess."

"I don't know if the princess will agree."

Rainbow Cat directly mentioned the reason why he came.

Upon hearing that Rainbow Cat wanted to borrow a magical artifact, Huan Du Luo Lan immediately wore a strange expression.

"magic weapon?"

Huan Du Luo Lan looked at Hong Mao with a puzzled expression, as if she wanted to know what Hong Mao wanted these things for.

"That's right, I'd like to borrow a few magical artifacts."

"Ideally, it should be a magical artifact that can create illusions or set up protective barriers."

"As for the loan period, I would like to borrow it for about six months."

Rainbow Cat thought for a moment and then stated his needs.

In his view, these things should all be minor matters.

With the Southern Kingdom's immense power, they shouldn't refuse.

"Are you genuinely unaware, or are you just playing dumb with me?"

"Where would we, from the South, obtain such a magical treasure?"

"The Southern Kingdom and the Dao Alliance are separated by a vast chasm, and there has been very little communication between them."

"As for magical treasures, they have never been circulated in the Southern Kingdom."

"Southern cultivators never use magic weapons; they use poison instead."

Huan Du Luo Lan spoke directly to Hong Mao without any concealment.

As she said, the Southern Kingdom's treasury was basically empty; there were no magic treasures, not even any money.

In the past, whenever they fought against cultivators from the Dao Alliance, any magical treasures they captured were immediately sold to cultivators from the Dao Alliance.

They exchanged money for their skills.

Only in this way can the financial problems of the South be stabilized.

"what?"

"The Southern Kingdom doesn't even have a single magical treasure?"

Rainbow Cat never expected that the mighty Southern Kingdom would be so poor.

If he doesn't even have a magic weapon, wouldn't it be difficult for him to explain himself to Dada?

"The South's finances have long been in trouble."

"Otherwise, the people on the border wouldn't be living such a miserable life."

Huan Du Luolan sighed softly. She also wanted to help Hongmao and show off the wealth of the Southern Kingdom.

But the situation in the South is now far worse than imagined.

Even though Huan Du Luo Lan is quite capable and has managed to recover some losses over the years, it still doesn't offer much help compared to the declining Southern Kingdom.

"May I go out for a bit?"

"I want to go back to Tushan and borrow some magical artifacts."

"I should be back in five days at the earliest."

Rainbow Cat thought for a while, and then suggested that he wanted to go back to Tushan.

After all, the only one who can help him now is probably Tushan.

It would be good for him to go back and check on things, and also explain what happened in the South.

"Don't even think about it, Father won't agree so quickly."

"You can only leave the Southern Kingdom if you marry me."

"Otherwise, as soon as you leave the capital, your father will kill you."

"My father hates people who break their promises the most. After all, this is something you promised before."

Huan Du Luo Lan didn't even look up; she believed that Hong Mao wasn't the kind of person who would break his word.

But that's the rule that was set before, and even if she trusts Rainbow Cat, she doesn't recommend that he do it that way.

That's certainly true.

"It seems there's no other way."

"So, are we left with no choice but to place our hopes on the second-in-command?"

Rainbow Cat nodded, he probably already had a general idea.

Since he cannot leave the capital of the Southern Kingdom, he can only place his hopes on Tu Shan Ya Ya.

He has already eliminated the Poisonous Lady. As long as Tu Shan Ya Ya doesn't dawdle on the way, with her speed, she should be able to reach Tu Shan tonight.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go and rest."

"After a few days, Father should set a wedding date."

"At that time, all the noble families of the Southern Kingdom will gather at the palace to offer their congratulations."

Huan Du Luo Lan saw that Hong Mao had finished speaking and immediately gave him the order to leave.

She still had a lot of approvals to review, so she didn't have time to talk to Rainbow Cat much.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Seeing that Huan Du Luo Lan was so busy that she couldn't even get a sip of water, Hong Mao couldn't help but ask.
