Lu Zhou sneered and stood up. “Disciple, pack your things and let’s go home.”
“Then these ingredients…”
Lu Sheng looked at the poultries and fishes in the hands of the young demons and asked with a burning gaze.
If she couldn’t bring the spiritual fruits out, she could at least bring the meat, right?
She counted them carefully. Ten ducks, ten chickens, and ten fishes. There were so many ingredients. It would cost a lot to buy them.
Shangguan Dian flung his sleeve generously. “Bring them away. Bring them all away. We’ll return to the human world to eat.”
This was the first time he felt that the Demon Realm, which he had lived in for tens of thousands of years, was so dilapidated. There was not even a kitchen. It was ridiculous!
“King, I want to go to the human world too!”
Although he was born from a human and a demon, he had lived in the Demon Realm since he was young. He had never tasted food from the human world.
Shangguan Dian frowned. “If you go to the human world, what about the Demon Realm?”
Netherworld hurriedly said, “I have a good candidate.”
“Oh?”
Shangguan Dian raised an eyebrow. “Who’s that?”
“Xie Ran.”
“Xie Ran wouldn’t dare!”
When he heard his name, Xie Ran was shocked.
He did not expect Netherworld to recommend him to the Demon King.
“You’re Xie Ran?”
Shangguan Dian raised an eyebrow.
“It’s me!”
Xie Ran nearly lay on the ground and did not even dare to raise his head.
Shangguan Dian looked at his feet and could not help but be puzzled. “Your cultivation level has been at least a few thousand years, right? Why are you still in a half-human, half-snake state?”
“King, Xie Ran can take human form!”
After Xie Ran replied, his snake tail instantly became two legs and a long robe appeared on his body.
“Netherworld, why did you recommend him?”
Shangguan Dian was really curious.
Netherworld had a cold personality. He seldom befriended the demons in the Demon Realm. Moreover, his subordinates seemed to be afraid of him.
Hence, he was quite surprised to see Netherworld recommend someone to him.
“Your Majesty, Xie Ran is my subordinate. He is clear about good and evil and is decisive in his actions. Moreover, he has followed me for a hundred years and knows the affairs of the Demon Realm the best. It’s best to let him manage the Demon Realm for now.”
“Lord!”
Although Xie Ran was touched, he felt that he was not up to the task.
“Since you’re chosen by the Netherworld, you must be quite capable.”
Shangguan Dian handed the Demon King Token he took back from Huan Yue to Xie Ran. “I’ll leave this to you for safekeeping for now.”
“Thank you, King and Lord Netherworld, for your trust!”
Before Xie Ran could refuse, he swallowed his words.
Shangguan Dian patted his shoulder lightly and said, “Then, I’ll leave the Demon Realm to you for now.”
“Yes!”
Xie Ran was flattered.
“Let’s go back… Eh? Where are they?”
Shangguan Dian was about to speak to Lu Zhou and the rest when they disappeared from the hall.
It was even to the extent that the poultries and fishes that the little demons were carrying had vanished without a trace.
“These guys didn’t wait for me!”
The demons in the Demon King’s Palace only saw a black shadow flash past before their king disappeared.
When Netherworld saw this, he could not be bothered to speak to Xie Ran and hurried after him.
Outside the Demon King’s Palace, Lu Zhou, Lu Sheng, and Chu Sihan were standing at the side. Official Lu had disappeared.
Seeing them, Shangguan Dian hurriedly slowed down and coughed lightly. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming out?”
He even thought that he had been abandoned.
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “It’s stuffy in there. Can’t we take a walk?”
“Okay, okay!”
Shangguan Dian smiled and nodded.
As long as they did not deliberately abandon him, they could do whatever they wanted.
Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng looked at each other and smiled.
