Chapter 1416: Chapter 54: The Wang family made a wedding dress for the Demon King_2

Zhiji on that end was doing the same.

Over the years, to facilitate the investigation of Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang’s whereabouts, as well as the movements of the Wang family, they naturally tried every means to bribe some of the Wang family’s maids and servants, as well as the grassroots employees of the Wang family’s various industries, and so on, in order to build their own information network.

Such methods might not uncover any real secrets, but trivial matters such as Emperor Longchang’s whereabouts today for playing mahjong, or whom he had argued with the day before yesterday, were matters they could find out accurately with a single inquiry.

Of course, those servants they bribed were actually informants who took the initiative to come forward from the Group Immortal Palace; that is something they would probably never find out.

After confirming the intelligence on both ends, Demonic Envoy Yulian’s expression had become extremely grave.

She knew that her master and Demon Lord Xietong had been waiting for Jiang Zhencang and Emperor Longchang to leave Longzuo County, and with the strength of this Whale Dragon King, they would definitely be able to stall Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang for a long time.

Such a rare opportunity wouldn’t be missed by her master and the others.

“This intelligence is very important, I will notify the master right away.” Demonic Envoy Yulian looked up at Green Ji, Zhiji, and Yulian, “You three should also go back and get ready~ Once the master and the others take action, we must withdraw from Longzuo County immediately.”

“Yes, Master Uncle.”

Green Ji and the others stood to comply, though their faces showed some hesitation.

After struggling internally, the least patient among them, Zhiji, couldn’t help but speak up, “Master Uncle, do we have to withdraw? We’ve been undercover for thirty years without being exposed, we could continue to stay undercover…”

Demonic Envoy Yulian glanced at her, “Don’t you know how strong the Wang family’s control over its territory is? Over the years, how much effort did it take us to pry open a few mouths and develop a systematic intelligence network, and how many times have we nearly been exposed? Don’t you have any idea in your heart? Once the relics are seized, the Wang family will definitely increase their scrutiny. Stay behind, stay behind to seek death?”

With that, she waved her hand, “Stop wasting words. Go back and prepare.”

“…Yes.”

Zhiji had no more to say, and could only leave behind Green Ji and Yulian.

Seeing the room door close again and the figures of the three women disappearing completely from view, Demonic Envoy Yulian then put down the intelligence and got up to walk towards the office’s large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Actually, she understood what the three of them were hesitating about.

Compared to the Demon Palace where one’s life was at risk at any moment, the past thirty years in Da Qian were simply the most free and comfortable years of her life.

Here, she didn’t have to worry about losing her life at any moment, nor did she have to worry about being fancied by some Demon King, and being forcefully taken back to the cave to be drained to death. As long as she was willing to work earnestly, she could live quite well.

If she was willing to work harder than others, she could live better than others. Her every effort wasn’t wasted, and every drop of sweat received its due reward.

That sense of fulfillment was something she never felt while in the Demonic Dynasty.

So even though she mingled among the lower-ranked cultivators every day, she still lived a satisfying life, even taking pride in the expansion of the hotel’s scale and the flourishing of business, feeling full of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t truly a Daqian person, and such days were ultimately limited.

And now, it was time to bid farewell.

Looking down at the glittering nightlife below and the bustling crowd, Demonic Envoy Yulian experienced a moment of loss and nostalgia, her face revealing a rare trace of perplexity.

Forget it~ Let it be a dream then~~

Once the dream is over, everything is in the past.

On the streets below, the traffic was bustling, and the flow of people was like a weaving shuttle, day after day.

No one knew that someone had stood by the window, expressing such feelings. Nor did anyone know that these everyday occurrences that they took for granted, for another group of people, might be a fragile and beautiful dream.

…

At the border between the Southern Wilderness’s ancient marshes and Tianfu County stood a desolate mountain valley with no human presence.

After applying a small mist and spatial formation, this secluded valley seemed to have become independent, unaffected by irrelevant outsiders.

After all, this was within the territory of East Qian Country; too much commotion could attract the attention of experts, exposing their whereabouts and possibly leading to a siege that would ruin the entire plan.

Demon Lord Xietong’s countryside villa had recently had a bit of renovation and looked completely brand new.

Like a child, he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky, watching the clouds roll by. His expression had less authority and hostility, but more tranquility and naturalness.

Meanwhile, a kettle as if held by invisible hands was floating in the air, turning around briskly in the vegetable garden, watering wherever the soil was dry.

A group of plump Red-Bellied Goldfinches patrolled their territory, pecking around for anything to satisfy their hunger, including the Spirit Melons and vegetables personally planted by Demon Lord Xietong.

Having been angry and irritated, but to no avail, Demon Lord Xietong’s mentality gradually became more serene.

Suddenly.

A figure swiftly descended from the sky, and within the blurred shadow, the sultry silhouette of the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess formed. She gleefully said, “Demon King, there’s good news. There’s good news.”

Demon Lord Xietong still kept his hands behind his back watering the plants, not even lifting his eyelids, and indifferently said, “Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, after so many years, you’re still panicking, no improvement. How many times have I told you? Stay calm in situations, don’t be frivolous.”
