Chapter 379: Unreliable Demon Clan
This man’s appearance could only be described as majestic.
A tall and grand physique, a dignified square-shaped face, dense and thick stubble, and eyes sharp enough to seem like thunder was flickering within them.
Just one glance gave off a feeling of overwhelming pressure.
However, when facing Si Jingzhu, Long Xiao’s attitude was quite humble as he said cheerily, “Immortal Master, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“I am the master of the Demon Clan, the current chief of the Ancestor Dragon lineage, and the lord of the Myriad Thunder Abyss, Long Xiao.”
“Learning of your whereabouts, I rushed over immediately to greet you.”
“If I seem lacking in courtesy, please forgive me, my lord.”
Si Jingzhu had never experienced such treatment.
In the Sang family, she was always the one getting bullied, the family member who even Jiao Jiao and Hei Xia would spit on as they passed by.
Unexpectedly, among these people, she had transformed and was being called a great lord.
This made Si Jingzhu incredibly happy.
“What did you call me?”
“Immortal Master?”
“Say it again.”
“Im-Immortal Master?”
Looking at the proud Demon Clan lord, a mighty demon at the Great Ascension level, now cautiously testing the waters in front of her, Si Jingzhu suddenly felt refreshed.
“Yes. That’s very good; I’m quite satisfied.”
“It seems your Demon Clan still has some discernment, knowing to treat this young lady, the supreme Original Immortal, with utmost respect. I suppose you pass the test.”
The supreme Original Immortal? Long Xiao couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.
No wonder this Original Immortal could take form and gain intelligence. Turns out she is the supreme Original Immortal!
Looks like he stumbled into a fortune this time.
Si Jingzhu couldn’t help but be secretly shocked as well.
This guy won’t actually believe it, right?
Shouldn’t she take this opportunity to hit him up for a hefty sum?
So, she casually plopped down on the bed, crossed her legs, and said, “So, what do you need from me?”
Long Xiao cleared his throat and warmly said, “Immortal Master, I mainly came here to invite you as a guest to our Demon Clan.”
“I, Long Xiao, promise that as long as you agree to visit our Demon Clan, we will treat you with the highest standards of hospitality. You can ask for anything!”
“Delicacies from mountains and seas, gold and silver fine wines, whatever you desire, our Demon Clan will surely provide!”
His grand words were full of flair and made one’s heart race.
Hearing this, Si Jingzhu was deeply touched and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, then said.
“Not going.”
“…W-Why not?” Long Xiao was sweating, “Did we offend you somehow? Did we provoke your displeasure?”
“I ask you.” Si Jingzhu crossed her arms, disdain written all over her face, “Is there signal over in your Demon Clan?”
Long Xiao: “?”
“Signal…?”
“If there’s no signal, doesn’t that mean if I go over, I wouldn’t even be able to use the Communication Device?”
Si Jingzhu pouted, “That sounds super boring! I’d rather not live a life that’s just me staring at rocks and eating sand every day.”
“Here, I can binge on novels and comics, catch news and gossip from the comfort of my home, all the fun and juicy stuff hits my screen first.”
“If I go to your Demon Clan, wouldn’t I lose everything? How am I supposed to fill in that entertainment gap?”
Seeing Long Xiao’s confused expression, Ying Huan’s voice suddenly whispered in his ear:
“Master, the Communication Device mentioned by the Immortal Master is a recreational artifact created by the Human Clan in recent years.”
“It’s said to be operated by a Human Clan trading company; if you set up formation nodes, you can connect Communication Devices in a certain range, sharing information—it’s called something like… the Internet.”
Long Xiao suddenly enlightened, quietly saying, “Can we get that thing…?”
“This may be a bit difficult since our Demon Clan has never interacted with the Human Clan like this… and this Human trading company is associated with the Holy Kingdom; I’m afraid of that guy.”
Long Xiao nodded and turned back to Si Jingzhu, continuing to smile as he rubbed his hands, saying:
“Immortal Master, this… really does have some difficulty.”
“However, aside from that Communication Device, our Demon Clan has everything!” He confidently patted his chest.
“Do you have comics or novels to read?” Si Jingzhu asked.
“Uh… No.”
“Do you have a place to play mahjong?”
“Uh, well, no either…”
“Got any games like ‘Original Immortal’?”
“Uh… haha, no…”
“Nothing here, nothing there,” Si Jingzhu impatiently said, “If you have nothing, what are you even talking about?”
“Let’s sleep; hurry and get lost.”
Seeing Si Jingzhu about to refuse, Long Xiao panicked, quickly saying: “Although we don’t have these things, we can work hard for you!”
“For example, that novel or comic you mentioned… we might not have it, but I can let the most stunning fox demons in our clan choose handsome guys and beautiful women to perform plays and dances for you every day and night; whatever content you wish is up to your royal command.”
“What do you think?” he tentatively asked.
Si Jingzhu couldn’t help but frown: “Fox demons? All gorgeous?”
Long Xiao desperately nodded.
“Not interested.”
She waved her hand in disdain: “With looks like that guy just now, I find it hard to believe in your Demon Clan’s taste.”
Ying Huan awkwardly grinned.
Seeing Si Jingzhu totally uninterested, Long Xiao found himself in a bind.
This Original Immortal was neither human nor demon; even the Dragon Lord didn’t know how to entice her.
At this moment, Ying Huan whispered in his ear: “Master, leave it to me.”
“Before this meeting, I already gathered detailed information about the Immortal Master. I have a way that will definitely convince her.”
Long Xiao nodded: “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Si Jingzhu was curious why Long Xiao suddenly went silent when, moments later, inky shadows separated to form a figure of Ying Huan.
“Immortal Master.”
He leaned in mysteriously, whispering, “Forgive my bluntness. Before meeting you, I had already investigated some matters regarding you.”
“If you agree to visit our Demon Clan, I guarantee I can help you achieve your current heart’s deepest desire!”
Si Jingzhu was taken aback: “Really?”
Ying Huan nodded earnestly: “As promised!”
Si Jingzhu’s gaze became serious.
The reason for her seriousness was that she hadn’t even thought of what her heart’s deepest desire was.
If she had to say… it’d be for Sang Zhe to hurry up and take her in?
Could it be that this Shadow Demon has discovered her unfulfilled longing for Sang Zhe?!
What should she do? They can’t mean to force Sang Zhe upon her, right? That’d be so awkward; a girl’s first time should be romantic. Forcing it would be kinda—
While Si Jingzhu was still lost in her thoughts, Ying Huan continued to speak softly:
“As long as you subtly cooperate with our Demon Clan.”
“We guarantee you will take your revenge and wipe away past grievances.”
“…By personally killing that scoundrel Sang Zhe!” he declared emphatically.
Si Jingzhu: “…Huh?”
