Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Shirley Bai’s Merit
“My Lord… I… I really don’t know… I can’t tell what the Demon King’s true form is either… But it must be ferocious, and an ancient creature…” In Fairy Huang’s eyes, a fear and trembling stemming from the depths of her soul surfaced. This was not something that could be feigned.
Huang Xiaolong could also be certain that Fairy Huang, at this moment of life and death, was telling the truth.
Naturally, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t deduce the true form of the Demon King based on Fairy Huang’s superficial description. Demons devouring demons is not an unusual occurrence.
“Where is the Demon King’s lair?” Huang Xiaolong continued to inquire.
“I don’t know,” sobbed Fairy Huang.
“Hmm? ‘I don’t know’ to every question?” Huang Xiaolong teased with a smile, yet his eyes were brimming with a murderous intent.
“Ah~~! This… this… My Lord! I really don’t know! The Demon King, he contacts me with a demon art that can transmit his voice over thousands of miles, including the life-saving demon art imprinted on my forehead… It was all done remotely… I don’t know…” Fairy Huang began to wail in terror. “My Lord, I swear I’m not hiding anything. At first, I also resisted the Demon King, but it just appeared out of thin air, a giant mouth tearing through space, swallowing several of my sisters and brothers whole, not to mention a great many of Little Huang’s kin. It was too horrific… I’ve never seen such a terrifying demon… If I didn’t submit, I too would surely be consumed! I’ve cultivated for thousands of years to achieve enlightenment; I don’t want to be eaten, my Lord… Please forgive me…”
Fairy Huang’s tears flowed freely and she seemed pitiful beyond measure.
Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment.
Fairy Huang seemed eager to make amends and quickly added, “My Lord, actually, there’s still at least a few months before the Demon King emerges. It seems he is still making final preparations. Moreover, I can assure you that his lair is overseas, possibly on an island beyond the sea! This time, besides me, there must be other demons that have submitted to him, assisting him to subjugate the world’s Demon Race.”
“Overseas?” Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong also nodded slightly. “I have indeed heard that some cultivators, even demons, choose to reside overseas. Given the vastness of the ocean, which is far broader than the land, and the fact that the quantity and quality of both natural treasures and resources found in the sea far exceed those on land, cultivators or demons might seek an island overseas, or beneath layers of ice, or within volcanoes, using their mana to conceal and establish their dens.”
After a pause, Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Right, the Demon King has not truly emerged yet. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to employ such low-level demons like you. His arrival would be enough to make all demons submit to his power, to serve him…”
Having said that, the difficulty for Huang Xiaolong to find this Demon King overseas was as daunting as searching for a needle in a haystack!
The islands overseas are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
“The demons like you, who are out there subjugating the world’s demons, do you know their whereabouts?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“My Lord, I also do not know. I acted alone. My task was to go to Rong City, to subdue serpent demons and fox demons… I ended up in Liu City because I was fleeing from your pursuit, and by chance, I caught the scent of this hedgehog… As for the demon clans in other cities, I really can’t control them…” Fairy Huang sadly explained between sobs. “My Lord, I have told you everything I know. In the future, I will submit to you. Please take pity on me for how hard my cultivation has been… Don’t kill me…”
“Ha~~ To me, you’re nothing more than a grasshopper that can be crushed with a flick of a finger,” Huang Xiaolong said with an indifferent smile. “To spare your life is not impossible. However, starting today, within three years, you must perform 1,000 good deeds, and must not commit a single bad act, or else I will make your life a living hell!”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Huang was overjoyed as if she’d received a royal pardon.
Huang Xiaolong raised his hand, and a cascade of symbols were branded into Fairy Huang’s sea of consciousness.
“Heh heh~~ From now on, if you commit any bad deeds, with a mere thought from me, even thousands of miles away, your soul will shatter into pieces.” Huang Xiaolong reined in his aura, allowing Fairy Huang to regain her composure, trembling as she stood up. “Thank you for your mercy, my Lord. From now on… I’ll never do evil again…”
Fairy Huang was ultimately subdued by Huang Xiaolong. Yet, she felt no injustice, for Huang Xiaolong was too powerful and perhaps no weaker than the Demon King.
Furthermore, Huang Xiaolong was not as cruel as the Demon King, for the latter would indiscriminately devour demons. Fairy Huang had witnessed with her own eyes the Demon King devouring hundreds of Little Huang’s kin in one gulp, the sight of which scared her to the core.
Even after submitting to the Demon King, Fairy Huang lived in constant fear, deeply understanding the saying ‘to accompany a monarch is like accompanying a tiger’—making even the slightest mistake could lead to being devoured.
This young man before her, with his immeasurable mana and endless tactics, surely wouldn’t eat humans or demons, right?
Fairy Huang even felt a bit of relief. “I understand, my Lord. I will complete 1,000 good deeds in three years, I promise! Definitely!”
Having said that, Fairy Huang took the initiative to apologize to Dean Zha. “Sister Zha, today’s incident was my fault, I apologize to you.”
As she spoke, Fairy Huang bowed deeply to Dean Zha.
“Alright, let’s go,” said Huang Xiaolong with a wave of his hand. “Hedgehog, there’s no need for you to continue being the dean here. The Demon King is about to sweep through the world; blood and carnage are certain. As a demon who has cultivated to a certain level, there’s no hope of remaining uninvolved.”
“Yes, in the future, I shall follow by my Lord’s side,” Dean Zha replied, the cold and elegant lady submissive before Huang Xiaolong. With a wave of her hand, all of the spikes that filled the orphanage, like flying swords, were retracted into her body.
Right then, Dean Zha instructed the staff of the orphanage, bid farewell to the orphans with tears in his eyes, and followed Huang Xiaolong, disappearing into the night.
Huang Xiaolong, leading the monster companions, arrived in Liu City’s downtown area, found a hotel, and booked several rooms.
Initially, Qingqing and Xiaohong had some complaints about Fairy Huang, but the resourceful weasel managed to win them over in no time, showering them with numerous gifts.
Huang Xiaolong had a room to himself.
Comfortably enjoying a hot bath, he lay on the bed playing with his cellphone.
For now, Huang Xiaolong didn’t know where to head next.
There were no updates from the Yin Tribe or the Crown Prince of the Yin Tribe.
The remaining black knives were still nowhere to be found.
Where the Demon King was hiding remained a complete mystery.
“Should I randomly visit some cities I’ve never been to and hunt ghosts for fun, or should I go and subdue monsters from different places?” Huang Xiaolong pondered lightly.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh, “Eh, now that’s rare, why would she think of calling me?”
Turns out, the caller was the lively and cheerful half-blood beauty, Shirley White, who was always obedient to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong answered the call with a smile.
“Ah~ Master! I miss you so much!” Shirley White was indeed a brave girl.
“Erm~~~ what made you think of calling me? I bet it’s not just because you miss me. Out with it, what’s up?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Giggle~~~ Master, this time, you have to reward me properly! I’ve made a meritorious deed!” Shirley White said mysteriously.
“What do you mean?” Huang Xiaolong was astonished.
“All in all, I don’t want to be the Master’s servant anymore, I want to be your woman! Just like the other sisters, I want to be your woman!” Shirley White declared confidently.
“Stop beating around the bush. What’s the matter? And by the way, you’ve been my wife for a long time now, haven’t you?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. He had spent no short amount of time with this half-blood beauty and indeed, had long regarded her as his wife.
“Master, don’t be so hasty, listen to me,” Shirley White’s voice softened and became more coquettish the moment Huang Xiaolong called her “wife,” her tone becoming implausibly gentle. “My dad owns a shipping company, and last month, one of the ships disappeared! Completely vanished! Master, you know that modern technology, especially in naval transportation, is very advanced. It’s quite rare for a ship to just disappear without a trace. Yet, this very ship seemed to get swallowed by the mysterious sea.”
Shirley White’s voice trembled a bit, “But! Three days ago! Someone found the missing ship’s captain! He was clinging to a piece of driftwood, drifting out at sea, and thus, he got rescued. However, his crew was nowhere to be found, and the missing ship wasn’t found nearby either.”
“Alright, get to the point, what does this have to do with me?” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat speechless.
“Don’t hurry, Master~~” Shirley White cooed, trying to placate him. “The captain that was rescued, he went mad… He spouts nonsense constantly, and in the mental hospital, he drew lots of incomprehensible stuff on paper with a pen. Nobody could understand these drawings… But yesterday, when my dad mentioned this to me and sent me a few photos, they were of the drawings done by the insane captain. And I… I understood them!”
A thought struck Huang Xiaolong. “What did he draw?”
“Knives! Master, the very knives you are looking for!” Shirley White’s voice filled with fervor. “I’m certain that they are the knives you’re after! I’ve seen them before, they are identical! Except, the knives drawn by the mad captain, on them, the number was ‘one’….”
“The first black knife!” Huang Xiaolong blurted out. “Hahaha~~ My half-blood beauty, this time, you might have truly achieved a great feat… rest assured, I will reward you well.”
“Heeheehee, I don’t want any reward, I just want you~~~” Shirley White said affectionately.
