Demon Star City, the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement.

Yu Zhao glanced at Su Bai, who was resting on the bed, and then slowly got up.

She darted out of the room.

Hong Gu was already waiting outside the room.

"Well, is there any news about the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit?" Yu Zhao asked slowly.

Hong Gu nodded. "Madam, there's news."

"Over there, the Golden Toad has the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit stored away."

Yu Zhao frowned slightly. "Golden Toad?"

The Golden Toad Tribe High Antiquity Demon Race Bloodline, and each branch of it is passed down through a single heir for generations.

The Golden Toad Tribe has a great fondness for collecting treasures, so it's not surprising that they possess the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit.

The Golden Toad in Demon Star City naturally refers to the Jade Golden Toad.

He possessed the same level of power as the Old Wolf Emperor, making Demon General.

His Bloodline characteristics make him value treasures as much as his lifeblood, so taking the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit from him might be a bit troublesome.

"Prepare the carriage, let's go to the Golden Toad Mansion for a chat." Yu Zhao said, she decided to personally go to the Golden Toad Mansion to get Su Bai's Great Void Origin Returning Fruit.

Not long after.

Yu Zhao then rode in Carriage engraved with the emblem of the Moon Wolf Tribe towards the Golden Toad Mansion.

As a land-based race, the Demon Race has fought many great wars with the Human Race, but as a result, it has also integrated with the Human Race more often than the Sea Tribe.

The Bloodline Inheritance and Lineage crests of the Demon Race originated from the aristocratic system of the Human Race.

Those who possess superior Demon Race Bloodline are natural nobles among demons.

Even among the nobles of the Demon Race, there is a respect for one another.

This is also why, although the Old Wolf Emperor is now in decline, the Moon Wolf Tribe has not been directly devoured, because they have integrated into the noble circle of the Demon Race, and their High Antiquity Bloodline has been recognized.

Even if the Old Wolf Emperor is really dead, the Moon Wolf Tribe still has a much higher probability of producing Demon General who inherit his Bloodline than ordinary Demon Race.

Furthermore, judging from the current development trajectory, the number of superior Demon Race Bloodline will only decrease.

While there are emerging nobles who develop into new noble families among demons through Bloodline mutation, their numbers are far outpaced by the decline of the Demon Race Bloodline.

The Demon Race Bloodline needs to be maintained by all Demon Race; otherwise, the overall decline of the Demon Race will not benefit any of the Demon Race.

However, this tacit understanding, which leans towards civilization, only applies to the Demon Race with noble Bloodline. For the lower-class Demon Race, the Demon Race still prevails.

The Moon Wolf Tribe's Carriage quickly came to a stop Golden Toad Mansion.

Because the Golden Toad is a single-son lineage, it naturally does not need Lineage residence to accommodate its members.

However, the Golden Toad Mansion is also very unique in its construction.

The entire Mansion Estate is shaped like a golden Golden Toad.

"Utterly tacky." Yu Zhao muttered with a look of disgust, then got out of the Carriage, her expression returning to normal.

Golden Toad, on the other hand, had naturally already received Yu Zhao's invitation to visit.

They opened the door early to welcome us.

As Demon General, Golden Toad showed considerable respect by personally coming to the front of the mansion to greet Yu Zhao.

"It is an honor to have Lady Yu Zhao grace my humble abode with her presence!" Golden Toad, despite being Demon General, showed no airs and treated Yu Zhao with utmost courtesy.

Its human form was a 1.5-meter-tall fat man with a mouth the size of a toad, and a smiling face that made him look extremely friendly.

Yu Zhao knew that this fat man was a treasure-loving fellow, and she wondered how she could get the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit from him this time.

Yu Zhao came up to him and gave him a curtsy.

The Eight-Foot Madam and the four-foot-tall fat man formed a stark contrast.

"I have come here today because I have heard that the Golden Toad Demon General possesses the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit in his residence. I hope that the Golden Toad Demon General can reluctantly part with this fruit and give it to me," Yu Zhao said frankly.

"So it's because of the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit! No problem, no problem, let's go inside and talk!" Golden Toad eagerly invited Yu Zhao to go inside the mansion to get it.

Having to ask for someone's help, Yu Zhao had no choice but to step inside.

Just as they stepped across the threshold, the Golden Toad said, "Wait a minute, this Green Jade Threshold looks ordinary, but it's actually Netherworld Cold Jade!"

He conjured a ball of Demon Fire at his fingertips, causing frost to seep from the threshold. "See that? Even the Demon King could slip and fall flat on his backside if he wasn't careful!"

I had long heard that this Jade Golden Toad, in addition to inheriting the Golden Toad Tribe's habit of hoarding treasures, also had the added attribute of showing off.

Seeing the envious look on the Golden Toad's face, Yu Zhao took a deep breath and exaggeratedly said, "So that's how it is. I was so ignorant. I've heard that Human Race cultivators greatly admire this jade, as it's very useful for carving Heavenly Demon. I never imagined that the Golden Toad Demon General would use it as a threshold. Wouldn't Human Race cultivators be filled with envy and jealousy if they knew?"

Seeing the exaggerated expression of envy on Yu Zhao, Golden Toad, regardless of whether it was real or not, was extremely pleased and crossed the threshold with satisfaction.

As we passed through the corridor, a talking Bronze Goblet hung from one of the pillars. Upon seeing us, it shrieked, "I am the personal wine vessel of the Heavenly Star City Alliance Leader Old Ancestor Heavenly Star! This toad traded me for three catties of moldy Thousand-Year Spirit Herb!"

The Golden Toad kicked the Bronze Goblet, making it clang loudly. "Shut up! The grass on your original Master's grave has practically turned into a spirit!"

Turning to a smile, she pointed at the wind chimes on the eaves, "Lady Yu Zhao, look at this string of ' Nine Nether Soul Devouring Bell,' isn't it beautiful? Not only beautiful, but shaking it can summon Yin Soldiers... Hey, don't touch it! Last month, the Demon Ape Demon King came over for a drink and shook it twice out of curiosity, and now there are still wandering ghosts in the courtyard!"

Yu Zhao awkwardly withdrew her hand.

We finally entered the main room.

In the center of the main hall, enshrined within a glass dome, sat a dusty, mud-like ball. The Golden Toad mysteriously placed three layers of protective barriers before opening it. "This is a fragment of Five-Colored Stone that fell from the sky when the High Antiquity gods mended it!"

Seeing the doubt on Yu Zhao, he became so anxious that his cheeks puffed out. "Don't let his current appearance fool you. Last month, a Human Race Nascent Soul from the Heavenly Star Alliance offered ten Spirit Treasure in exchange, and I didn't even lift an eyelid!"

He pulled a rusty, broken sword from the display case. "You recognize this piece of iron, right? The hilt is engraved with the words ' Immortal Slaying '! I dug for three years in the outhouse... cough... in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm before I found it!"

As the sword flashed, the salted fish drying on the roof beam suddenly broke in two—it turned out that the Sword Qi was too strong, and the salted fish Demon Cultivator, who had been drying for three years, was instantly annihilated.

"Impressive! Golden Toad Demon General! Where is this Great Void Origin Returning Fruit?" Yu Zhao had been holding back for so long, finally had a chance to ask.

Here.

The Golden Toad opened the Medicine Box on one side, Great Void Origin Returning Fruit flashed by, Yu Zhao saw clearly.

However, the Golden Toad toad was extremely fond of treasures, and when it came to the treasures that the Yu Zhao desired, it would only give them a fleeting glance before putting them away without further explanation.

"This... Golden Toad Demon General, I am willing to purchase this fruit for one million Spirit Stone," Yu Zhao said.

"No, this price is too low." The Golden Toad hugged the Medicine Box tightly, trying to find another place to hide it.

"One million five hundred thousand!" Yu Zhao immediately followed up with another bid!

The Golden Toad still shook its head.

Two million!

The Golden Toad hesitated slightly, but after a moment, its trait of treasuring treasures kicked in, and it decisively shook its head.

Yu Zhao was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. If she could beat him, she would have given this toad a good beating.

Just then, Hong Gu led a Veil Hat Cultivator in.

"Huh? Why is Alchemist here?" Yu Zhao looked at Hong Gu, who just shook her head in confusion.

"Madam, have you forgotten this? This Hundred Pill Box is extremely valuable for collection. It would be perfect for exchanging it for Senior Golden Toad's Great Void Origin Returning Fruit!"

Su Bai held the exquisite Jade Box in both hands and handed it to Yu Zhao.
