Chapter 1398: One step too late
Xiao Yanbao really didn't expect the masked man to say that.
"Master, no, if you are really worried about the little princess, I will go with you." Jiang Chun said.
Xiao Yanbao: This is not about worrying about me, but you are also worried about her. I am worried that she will come back, not worried about her safety.
"No, I have to go in person this time," the masked man insisted.
"Master, if you must go, you must bring your subordinates with you. You must not let the master take risks alone.
"No need. Just based on my status in Zhouqiu City, the people from the Demon Realm wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Xiao Yanbao originally didn't intend to let the masked man go with her.
Who knows what he is thinking? What if he stabs me in the back?
But after hearing what the masked man said, taking this man along might help him find the person.
"Master, but..."
Jiang Chun wanted to say something, but the masked man stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Little princess, since you are going to look for that little kid, then there is no time to lose. Let's go quickly. There is no guarantee that we will catch up with you."
"Okay." Little Yanbao didn't hesitate this time.
[Da Huang, can you hear the voice of this masked man? ]
"Master, I can't hear this man's inner voice. He's going with you. You should be careful of him."
[Please keep an eye on it for me in the wish-fulfilling bag.]
Xiao Yanbao didn't care too much about the masked man attacking him from behind.
You have the Holy Spirit Light, and when you sense danger, the Holy Spirit Light will automatically light up to protect you.
Xiao Yanbao's only worry was that the masked man would use the net to attack her again.
Well, let this man walk in front of you when walking.
"Since you want to follow me, you have to lead the way for me." Xiao Yanbao said.
The masked man pursed his lips. The little princess still didn't trust him.
"Okay, I'll go ahead."
Xiao Yanbao followed the masked man to the backyard of the inn and walked into the innermost room.
This room is very special. There are no windows in the room. Light comes in from a concave glass stone in the center of the roof. It is light purple in color and falls on the vortex pattern on the ground made of spirit stones, which emits a purple glow.
There is a bookshelf against the wall on the left. The books on the bookshelf are different from the books that Xiao Yanbao usually sees. The books on the shelf have no covers, and the spines are dark brown bark. Xiao Yanbao can see through his spiritual sense that there are spiral patterns engraved on them, like ancient runes.
However, Xiao Yanbao was not interested in the book and had no intention of exploring it.
In the center of the room, near the vortex pattern, there is a table. The tabletop is made of transparent crystal, and densely packed small bubbles are solidified inside. A grain of golden sand is suspended in each bubble, slowly rotating with the light.
The cup on the table was half filled with lavender liquid, and a leaf was floating on the water.
Hanging on the right wall was not a painting, but a star map made of spider silk and Vermilion Bird feathers. The eye spots on the feathers glowed in the purple light.
A string of wind chimes hung below the star map, and the bell tongues were made of long, thin fish bones.
Xiao Yanbao felt that every decoration here was not just for decoration, but should have some function.
Sure enough, after the masked man came in, he first moved the book engraved with runes, and then touched the leaves in the cup with his fingers.
The leaf turned into a wisp of light purple mist when touched, rising along the edge of the cup, and a fragrance filled the room.
Little Yanbao subconsciously tried to block his sense of smell.
The masked man said, "If you want to go to the demon world from here, don't block this smell."
Xiao Yanbao stopped trying to block his sense of smell.
As the purple mist rose, the wind chimes and fish bones hanging below the star map began to swing. The sound of the collision was not like the ringing of bells, but more like ice breaking, so cold that it made people tremble.
Then the light of the glass stone flashed, and the vortex of spirit stone on the ground began to spin.
The masked man grabbed Yan Bao's hand and jumped into the vortex. "Let's go."
Xiao Yanbao didn't dodge and jumped in following the masked man.
After a dizzy feeling and a flash of black and light in front of his eyes, Xiao Yanbao arrived at another place.
"We're here." said the masked man.
Xiao Yanbao turned his head and glanced at the masked man. "Do you come here often?"
The masked man shook his head. "This is my first time here."
This is the demon world. It is easy to come here, but it is difficult to go back.
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, several patrolmen from the demon world came over and surrounded them.
He first glanced at Xiao Yanbao and said, "This little doll looks good. The dolls sent this year are more spiritual than those sent in previous years."
Then he said to the masked man, "Those who bring birthday gifts to the Demon Lord can go through that way. They don't have to pay the toll."
The masked man pulled out a bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into the demon soldier's hand. "I'm with the guy who brought the little boy. I just had diarrhea and went to the restroom, and he came in with the baby first. We agreed to make the offering together. Please help me."
The demon soldier weighed the bag in his hand and said, "Then come with me."
Xiao Yanbao wanted to question the masked man whether he had really tricked her into coming to offer the gift, but after hearing what the masked man said, she stopped asking.
No matter what his purpose is, as long as he can find the Thunder Spirit, it will be fine.
Once she finds the thunder spirit, she can run away with it.
"It's a good thing you asked me. If you had asked someone else, they wouldn't know, and you wouldn't be able to make an offering together."
The demon soldier took Xiao Yanbao and the others and talked endlessly as they walked.
"I think these two little kids you brought are pretty good. They don't cry or make a fuss, and they're full of spirit. Do you plan to stay in the demon world, or do you plan to fulfill any wishes?"
Xiao Yanbao: This demon soldier is a bit talkative.
"That depends on the Demon Lord's satisfaction." The masked man responded.
The demon soldier brought Xiao Yanbao and the others to a palace and said a few words to the demon soldier guarding the gate.
"That person has been taken away by the Demon Lord's demon servants. Today is the last batch. You can only wait until tomorrow."
Little Yanbao almost blurted out the word "no".
Wait till tomorrow, who knows what will happen.
The patrolling demon soldier who had taken the masked man's things still had some conscience. He took out a small bag from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the demon soldier guarding the gate. "Please be accommodating. They came together and got separated when they came in. These two little kids are a boy and a girl. It wouldn't make much sense to send them to the Demon Lord separately. Do you understand?"
The demon soldier guarding the gate also weighed the things in his hand and said, "Then follow me."
