Chapter 574: Infiltrating the Demon King's Circle
Chapter 574: Infiltrating the Demon King's Circle
Chonglou had a cold face and he paid no attention to the demons as they passed over him, ignoring them as if they were air. Only Xuejian on Chonglou's back poked her head out curiously, chuckled and waved to the demons.
After they flew far away, Chonglou said with a look of panic, "My Lord, my Lord, is it really okay to be so rude? They are all well-known figures in the Demon City. Even my father used to be respectful to them..."
"Why are you panicking? Have you ever seen any original demon greet an ant?"
"Then let's..."
"That's right," Bai Hao curved his lips, looking down at the prosperous Demon City and said calmly, "Chonglou, from now on you have acquired a new identity, that is, the Demon King Kenguil, with a strength of a third-order original demon, which is always stronger than these local Demon Kings."
"Ah, pretending to be a third-level primordial demon, this..."
"I am informing you, not asking for your opinion. If you can't do it, I can just replace you with another brave demon and give this overwhelming wealth to someone else."
Bai Hao's tone revealed a tone that could not be refused, which reminded Chonglou of the severe torture he had suffered when the two first met. He hurriedly replied with some fear: "Yes, I will definitely work hard and strive to become a third-level original demon respected by all demons!"
"Haha, it's not about striving for it, it's about having to do it. If you are found out, you and your sister will only end up dead. Those demons don't like being deceived, and I can only look for other suitable demon puppets."
Bai Hao looked like a cold-blooded villain at this moment. The threats in his words made Chonglou sweat profusely. As the saying goes, the bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. This is a golden saying that has been passed down in the demon world for tens of thousands of years.
However, Chonglou still felt that it was a bit too bold for a small magician like him to pretend to be a third-level primordial demon.
Not long after, Bai Hao took Chonglou for another tour around the Magic City and found that the buildings here were actually not much different from those on the Walterlan Continent, but some of them were more in line with the architectural style of Beixu. Most of them were tall buildings, and there was no distinction between inner and outer urban areas.
The management system of the Demon City is very complicated, similar to the separation of powers. After all, in the Demon Realm where strength is respected, as long as you become a Demon Lord or a Demon King, you can basically hold power anywhere. If the children of a hereditary family have poor roots and cannot break through to the Demon Lord, they will be directly abandoned by the family.
But Chonglou was an accident. Three years ago, his bones were severely damaged, which is almost an incurable disease in the demon world. However, Chonglou's parents tried their best to treat him, spending a lot of money, and did not ruthlessly abandon him.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao became more convinced of one truth.
People can be divided into good and bad, and the demons may be the same. After coming into contact with Chonglou and Xuejian, Bai Hao's intuitive feeling is that the siblings are no different from the intelligent creatures on the Walterland continent. They are greedy for life and afraid of death, they care about others, and they also have ideals and pursuits...
Not long after, Shebir came over. He flew slowly to Chonglou's side, still two heads lower, and respectfully reported to Chonglou how to deal with the gold, silver, pearls and jade.
"Master Demon, the spoils you brought from the mortal world have been identified as priceless treasures. It is difficult to directly bid for them, so I plan to unite some demon kings to guarantee them and auction them at the Champs Elysees Auction House in the Demon City. The time is set in three days. I hope you can come to the auction then..."
"Chonglou, don't say anything, just look at him coldly." Bai Hao commanded.
After receiving the order, Chonglou immediately glanced at Xie Bil casually, his eyes gleaming with coldness, which made Xie Bil shudder uncontrollably. He then hurriedly added: "This time, just treat it as a welcome party for you. The money raised will not be shared with the auction house, including the publicity expenses for the past few days..."
Being given a cold glance by Chonglou, Xie Bil was very frightened. He had heard long ago that those original demons born from the mortal world were immortal, but their brains were not normal. They often acted strangely and eccentrically without any logic.
Chonglou still didn't speak, still flying forward slowly. Seeing this, Shebil said again: "Haha, Lord Demon, this is the Demon King Card in my name. You can use it for the next few days. I can assure you that except for those priceless treasures from the mortal world, there is nothing in the Demon World that it can't buy."
Hearing this, Bai Hao breathed a sigh of relief. His goal had been achieved. He made Chonglou so aloof just to solve the problem of expenses for these three days. It was impossible for a third-level original demon to fly over the Magic City before the auction. That would be so embarrassing.
Bai Hao is well aware of the principle that too much is as bad as too little. Just the right amount of indifference can show off one's class. If he keeps having a sour face, Shebil will probably be unhappy, and may even offend other higher-level demon kings.
"Okay, you are thoughtful." Chonglou nodded slightly to Xie Bil, then accelerated and flew forward.
Upon seeing this, Shebil bowed hurriedly as if relieved. He had just been trying to guess the thoughts of this foreign demon god. Dealing with such a terrifying existence was a tough job. Shebil was the weakest and had the least experience in the demon circle, so he was sent to receive Chonglou.
Shortly after separating from Shelby, Chonglou looked at the Demon King's gold card in his hand with excitement. He had only seen this thing once when he was a child. It was owned by the Demon King ancestor of the Nangong family. Even his father, the patriarch of the clan, could not use it. He did not expect that he could use it at will now.
"Keep your expression calm, there are many eyes watching you!" Bai Hao warned, and then said: "I will send you to the ground later. You grew up in the Magic City, so you don't need me to lead the way. You can solve your own food, clothing, housing and transportation before the auction. If you encounter something you can't handle, call me in your heart."
"My Lord, my Lord, you are leaving. Can I do it alone..."
"You have to do it even if you have to. You are now a noble third-level original demon. The local demon kings have to show humility to you. Don't be timid. Remember not to do anything that is not in line with your status. If not for yourself, then for the safety of your sister!"
Bai Hao's words made Chonglou's expression freeze, and then he couldn't help but look at Xuejian who was standing behind him with a happy face. Flying in the sky made this little girl who was less than ten years old very excited. It had been a long time since she had smiled like this.
"Lord, I understand."
Bai Hao did not reply. He disconnected after sending Chonglou to the ground. He had already set up many complicated magic arrays in Chonglou's heart and brain. As long as he called, Bai Hao could sense it immediately even if he was not in front of the door.
