Lin Xiao followed the Heavenly Tiger Demon King to the deck of the warship.

Looking down, some figures dressed in gray robes could indeed be seen on the edge of the warship, with crows perched on their shoulders.

Soon after, three figures in gray robes flew towards the three warships in the sky.

One of the figures in gray robes approached Lin Xiao, but instead of looking at Lin Xiao, he calmly said to the Heavenly Tiger Demon King, "Demon King, fighting and killing will not solve the problem. Why don't you stop for now?"

The Heavenly Tiger Demon King didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "What about the other two sides?"

“We will naturally try to persuade the Twin Demon Tribe and the Xuanqi Demon Tribe as well,” the gray-robed man said.

"That!"

The Heavenly Tiger Demon King agreed.

"Thank you, Demon King. Let's go clean up the battlefield."

"Go!"

The Heavenly Tiger Demon King nodded.

Lin Xiao observed that the Heavenly Tiger Demon King's attitude was actually quite polite, and when the Judgment Palace was mentioned before, his words showed a degree of approval.

Lin Xiao watched the departing gray-robed man. The man's expression remained calm, yet a sense of piety emanated from that calmness.

They were like a group of ascetic monks with unwavering faith.

Aside from preventing war, there was nothing that could interest the other side.

"What do you mean by 'cleaning up the battlefield'?" Lin Xiao asked, looking at the Heavenly Tiger Demon King.

"Every time a war breaks out, the rampant chaos causes considerable damage to the Blackwater River. If it is not cleaned up in time, it may lead to many consequences."

"For example, the river stops flowing, and the aftershocks of energy linger for a long time."

"Therefore, the battlefield needs to be cleaned up."

“The Judgment Palace has been doing this kind of thing all these years.”

The Heavenly Tiger Demon King explained.

Lin Xiao nodded and looked down at the battlefield.

Under the persuasion of the gray-robed men in the Judgment Palace, the battle did indeed stop, and all three parties ceased their fighting at the same time.

On the devastated and chaotic battlefield, the gray-robed men were diligently cleaning everything up.

The crows on their shoulders open their beaks and absorb the rampant energy, keeping everything in an orderly fashion.

"Does the Imperial Palace of Judgment have any business dealings with the Demon Emperors?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"no!"

The Heavenly Tiger Demon King shook his head and said, "The Judgment Palace never participates in any battles. In a way, they are the most detached force in the Demon Realm."

Lin Xiao looked thoughtful.

According to the Heavenly Tiger Demon King, the Imperial Palace should be free from desires and detached from worldly affairs.

What they did is indeed commendable.

However, Lin Xiao was reluctant to believe that there really were forces in this world that were devoid of desires and wants.

There may be saints who are without desires or wants; I will not judge that.

A force devoid of desires and ambitions is essentially a group of people without any ambition or ambitions gathered together, which seems a bit too exaggerated...

After the battle ended, Lin Xiao did not linger.

It was already late when he returned to Blackwater.

Lin Xiao chose a restaurant and enjoyed fine wine and food at a window seat on the second floor.

As night fell, a group of men in gray robes arrived at the restaurant.

The restaurant owner was very enthusiastic and clearly recognized that they came from the Judgment Palace. He offered to give them a free meal, but they refused, and the gray-robed men still paid with magic stones.

Then one of the men in gray robes approached Lin Xiao and said, "Hello, Crown Prince, my name is An Shisan!"

Lin Xiao was surprised that the other party would take the initiative to greet him, and nodded, saying, "An Shisan? Is that your original name?"

An Shisan shook his head and said, "A name is just a code name, it's not important."

Lin Xiao didn't dwell on the issue and said, "The Judgment Imperial Palace all start with the character 'Dark.' Are you going to give us a new name?"

“That’s basically it.” An Shisan paused, then explained, “Except for the Chief.”

"Zhi Shou" is the title for the person in charge of judging the imperial palace.

"Why not call him Palace Master, but Chief Administrator instead?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"I'm not really sure about that either, maybe it's just a habit!" Dark Thirteen replied, his expression calm and composed, seemingly not lying.

The restaurant had already prepared the food and drinks.

The other people in gray robes had already taken their seats.

An Shisan bowed slightly to Lin Xiao and said, "Crown Prince, I will not disturb you any longer."

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

He surveyed the gray-robed people; each of them was calm and possessed a unique aura.

It seemed that nothing in this world could shake their devout practice.

Insults, suspicions, praise, and so on will not affect their emotions in any way.

They just do their own thing.

At that moment, another figure entered the restaurant.

He was still dressed in plain clothes, carrying a dark green spear on his back, but his expression seemed somewhat dazed, as if he didn't understand why he had come to the restaurant.

When she looked up and her gaze fell on Lin Xiao, she was taken aback.

Seeing Mo Yiya's expression, Lin Xiao understood that she had simply encountered him again by chance.

Moya's behavior was quite interesting. She looked hesitant, unsure of what to do—whether to turn away or sit down and have dinner with Lin Xiao.

"It seems the Princess is a person of her word! Since you're already here, why don't you sit down?"

Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Um...I..."

Moya's lips moved, but in the end she didn't explain clearly. She wasn't used to explaining anything, but in the eyes of outsiders, it would appear that she had taken the initiative to come to the appointment.

Chapter 628 Walking the Long Street

Given Mo Yiya's poor communication skills, she is destined to suffer when she gets along with Lin Xiao.

It was clearly not her who came to the appointment on her own initiative, but Lin Xiao's comment, "It seems the princess is a person of her word," confirmed that.

Unfortunately, Moia didn't know how to explain it.

The restaurant fell silent.

Aside from the gray-robed members of the Imperial Palace who continued their meal with calm expressions, everyone else stared at Lin Xiao and Mo Yiya with curiosity.

The Crown Prince and the Princess meeting late at night for dinner—this is a huge publicity stunt.

Once the news spreads, it will surely attract the interest of countless demons.

In fact, Lin Xiao is handsome and dashing, and Mo Yiya is free-spirited and beautiful. The two of them sitting opposite each other are indeed very pleasing to the eye, making everyone feel happy.

Lin Xiao was somewhat relieved that the demon race's aesthetic sense was the same as that of the human race.

"The spicy fish head made with this kind of flamingo tastes pretty good, you should try it..."

Lin Xiao picked up a piece of fish and put it in Mo Yiya's bowl.

The tender fish meat paired with fiery red chili peppers is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making one's mouth water.

However, Moia's expression was somewhat blank.

Her life was lonely; she had no contact with men, let alone female best friends.

Moya didn't feel lonely. She had long been used to cultivating alone, fighting others, and exploring the highest power and Dao. For her, that was the greatest pleasure.

But now, Lin Xiao is acting like a close friend, picking food for her.

This left Moia at a loss for how to respond.

Lin Xiao looked at Mo Yiya's dazed expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you daydreaming about? Come and try it. This way of cooking spicy fish head comes from my hometown."

Moia subconsciously picked up a piece of fish and put it into her cherry-like mouth.

The fish was incredibly tender...

But the next moment, Moia's delicate cheeks turned bright red, as if she were drunk.

"call!"

Moia exhaled a breath of hot air.

So spicy!

Although the chili peppers brought out the fresh and tender flavor of the fish, they were really spicy!

"You can't eat spicy food?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback when he saw Mo Yiya's appearance.

No...no.

Moia shook her head somewhat awkwardly.

She always eats bland food.

"No way! You're from the north, how come you can't eat spicy food? The Ice Demon Plains is so cold, shouldn't you eat more chili peppers to keep warm?"

Lin Xiao asked curiously.

Moia said, "With my cultivation level, I am already immune to heat and cold."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "I forgot about that. That's right, many common sense things in the cultivation world are different from those in the secular world, not to mention this is the Demon Realm."
