Chapter 149
Ye Xun sent the message in Xiao Tingyu's tone, and even regretted it a little.
It seems that one billion is too little; we should ask for more than one billion Spirit Stone.
Among the palace maids, Wen Zhi frowned secretly. These two were truly wicked. She hoped Uncle Xiao wouldn't be fooled by them. If they could really buy the Demon Realm, that would be great; let's see if they could still be so arrogant then.
Beside her, Tu San crouched down, trying to minimize his presence.
I feel so insecure when my master isn't around.
Of all the infiltrators in the Demon King's Palace this time, only the two of them and Tu San successfully made it in.
According to Chief Steward Jiao, the palace lacks palace maids, not demon servants, unless the two of them can disguise themselves as women and sneak in.
Fu Fengyuan protested, pointing at Tu San: "If the only shortage is palace maids, why can he get one?!"
Jiao Qian looked at Tu San, Tu San shrank back and cried out, "Eek!"
Jiao Qian spread his hands. "Can you guys do it?"
Fu Fengyuan steeled himself, thinking he could say so too—so what if he acted like a whiny whiner? He was about to let out a soft whimper Wen Zhi quickly covered his mouth, "Fourth Junior Brother, there's no need for that..."
She felt a little reluctant. Her fourth junior brother was, after all, the young sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect. He was such a handsome guy; he should at least consider his image!
In reality, Tu San was able to sneak in not because he was particularly good at whining, but because rabbit demons were Demon Race considered weak and not threatening by the demon race, and were usually assigned to do some palace maid work, which is how he got this spot.
He whispered to Wen Zhi, "I'm a little scared."
Wen Zhi shook her head at him, signaling him to be quiet.
Qiaoqiao and Wen Zhi stepped forward and helped Xiao Tingyu up from her kneeling position. The second senior sister looked at her with a dazed expression, as if she were looking at a stranger, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
When did my cheerful and outgoing second senior sister ever look at someone like that?
Qiaoqiao's eyes reddened with anger, but she knew it wasn't the right time to lash out, so she could only endure it and wait for the right opportunity.
"Empress Dowager, why haven't you come to see me yet!"
As a soft, captivating voice rang out, a slender figure gracefully entered through the palace gate. She wore a thin veil that barely concealed anything, revealing glimpses of her fair skin through the fabric.
Aside from the inner garment covering his private parts, through the white gauze, one could see his slender chest, delicate waist, and straight legs. The bells on his ankles jingled as he walked, captivating the heart.
"Your Excellency, the Empress Dowager is in the middle of a meeting. You may not enter without prior notice." The guard at the door hurriedly tried to stop him, but the attendant tossed his sleeve, and the gauze sleeve slipped off the guard's face. The guard's face immediately turned red, and he was so flustered that he let him in.
The attendant swayed into the main hall, oblivious to the presence of the Fox King on the throne. He didn't even glance at the palace maids standing by the side of the hall. With his serpentine, twisting steps, he suddenly leaped into the Empress Dowager's arms. Her veil enveloped her like a cloud, and she softly called out, "Empress Dowager~~"
His voice was so dramatic, the undulating lines seemed to dance in the air, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, he raised one leg, the white veil flowing down his leg, hooked his leg over the Empress Dowager's arm, and called out again, "Empress Dowager~~~"
This is a very difficult move; you really can't do it without a lot of flexibility.
Wen Zhi couldn't help but rub her arms, getting goosebumps all over.
Regardless of the circumstances, wasn't this ordering way too brazenly?
I had heard that the Demon Race was carefree, but the extent of their lack of manners was truly unexpected. This was the Demon King's Palace, yet it was even less meticulous than a branch hall of a major sect in the Cultivation World.
Looking at the Fox King's sour face, he was just short of slapping this servant across the face, but because the servant was the Empress Dowager's person, he didn't dare to make a move directly, and his face turned black with suppressed anger.
Wen Zhi felt that the mother and son had the nerve to belittle her second senior sister. She thought that the Fox King was unworthy of her, not even worthy of carrying her shoes.
Meanwhile, the attendant was still flirting with the Empress Dowager as if no one else was around, his leg almost touching her ear.
Even after witnessing the cringe-worthy scene of Elder Chang and Immortal Lord Moonfall's secret rendezvous, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but echo the same sentiment as the crane in her heart.
He's so flirtatious.
Compared to Elder Chang, that old man, this servant's flexibility was simply unparalleled. She slid across the Empress Dowager's body like a snake, and with the gentle ringing of the bells, intimate whispers drifted through the hall.
"Empress Dowager, give me a kiss~"
"Stop fooling around."
"Give me a kiss," the snake demon servant persisted. "The Empress Dowager clearly said she was coming to see me, but she left me in the side hall for three days without paying me any attention. If I wasn't afraid the Empress Dowager would forget about me, I wouldn't have bothered you."
He extended his forked tongue, hissing, while simultaneously sending mating signals to the Empress Dowager. The sticky, suggestive sounds finally made the Ye Xun lose his temper. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting, "Enough! What kind of behavior is this?"
The snake servant paused for a moment, then suddenly pouted and began to sob, "Your Majesty, I'm scared, sob~~"
Qiaoqiao glanced at Tu San. In terms of this whimpering alone, the snake demon had to admit defeat.
The Empress Dowager, however, was quite taken with this. Protecting the snake in her arms, she said to her son, "You've frightened him."
Ye Xun looked aggrieved. He was the current Fox King of the Demon Race, yet even a mere servant dared to oppose him to his face. What was the point of being the Fox King?
But when he met Zi Rong's gaze, he wilted again, "What Mother says is true."
The Serpent Servant smugly wagged its tail. The Empress Dowager's favor towards him was indeed unmatched; she could even reprimand the King for his sake. Just as it was basking in its pride, it suddenly heard an even more affected and coquettish call from the doorway, "Empress Dowager~~~~"
Serpent Servant's expression tightened, and he turned around to see a man draped in red gauze step into the hall. He was dressed similarly to Servant...
