Meng Qi almost couldn't hold back a laugh. To be honest, after confirming that the Demon Emperor's will wanted him to attain Legendary status as soon as possible, he no longer felt that entering the Demon Emperor Hall was particularly dangerous. Agreeing to help Chuiyizi was no big deal.
But he and Chuiyizi were only old acquaintances; they had no real friendship. When it came to cause and effect, that had to come first.
"This poor Daoist has consulted the heavens. Today is not an auspicious day to enter again," Meng Qi said with a perfectly straight face.
Chuiyizi released the hem of his robe and stared blankly. "When did you consult the heavens?"
Before he could say anything else, Meng Qi replied firmly, "In my heart!"
"Once you meet Little Fox, the Demon Saintess's successor, tell her this poor Daoist has something to ask her. Then contact me, and I'll accompany you to explore the Demon Emperor Hall."
"Tsk, you won't lift a finger till you see the rabbit. I knew you were somebody even back then. Fine, once I meet Little Fox, I'll contact you. Uh, how do I contact you?" Chuiyizi flapped his wings.
Meng Qi casually took out another Myriad Realms Universal Talisman and explained how to use it. "...As long as you're not inside the Demon Emperor Hall, you'll be able to reach me."
At that, his expression turned serious. "If I ever find you harming humans, I'll personally rid the world of you!"
Chuiyizi's lips twitched. "I—I'll go vegetarian, all right? What about fish? Can I eat beef...?"
He fired off question after question, but Meng Qi had seen it coming. As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qi turned and stepped into the spring's source, returning to the Eastern Sea.
