In fact, Liu Ziming was aware of Slime Jing's concerns, which is why he came to Xingyao Inn to find the girl named Yuebai and inquire about her. He would never act rashly.
(De Wang's) "Right, that girl only told me I was staying at the Starry Inn, but she didn't tell me which room I was staying in. How am I supposed to find it? It's such a big inn. Am I supposed to just search around like a fly, like Slime Jing said, or shout loudly in the inn?"
Looking at the enormous Starry Inn, Liu Ziming began to worry. He had to come up with a plan, otherwise his sudden intrusion would definitely alert the other guests, which was not a good idea. "Hehe, now you're in trouble, aren't you? You're so stupid! I told you not to come here, but you wouldn't listen. You thought that girl was some kind of good person?" Seeing Liu Ziming's predicament, Slime Jing seemed secretly pleased.
Actually, he was still quite worried about Liu Ziming, because this guy consistently refused to listen to his advice.
Chapter 307 I didn't expect you to actually come
"Hehe, no matter what kind of monster he is, he helped me before, so I have to repay him. That's my basic principle as a human being, right?"
Slime Jing never expected that Liu Ziming would be such a weirdo. There was nothing she could do, even though she was furious inside. After all, she had followed him out.
"You're not just going to walk in like that, are you? If other people find out, there might be trouble. This is the Demon King's city, after all, and it's under the control of the elves. You absolutely mustn't cause any big commotion."
Slime Jing was now genuinely regretting her actions, but there was nothing she could do. Now that she was up, she couldn't just leave Liu Ziming here alone, could she? "Hehe, don't worry, I have a brilliant plan that won't alert anyone. Don't forget, I'm a spider, and spiders always have a way!" Seeing the smug expression on Liu Ziming's face, Slime Jing was speechless, even feeling an urge to retort. "Holy crap, what's this guy doing? He actually thought of that! How come I didn't?"
Slime Jing was now truly regretting her actions. Liu Ziming had actually transformed into a spider and started slowly climbing upwards, inch by inch, until he quickly disappeared into the Starry Inn. "You bastard, what am I going to do? Are you planning to leave me here all alone?"
The slime stomped its feet in frustration. It couldn't transform into a spider like Liu Ziming and slowly climb up; it didn't have that ability. "Don't worry," Liu Ziming said, "when I climb up, I'll throw you a thread, and that'll solve the problem perfectly."
Liu Ziming quickly climbed to the top of the Starry Inn, then threw down a silken thread, sending the slime Jing plummeting up there, looking quite impressive. "What on earth were you thinking? How could you even come up with something like this?"
feel.
"Don't forget that I am the founder of the Spider Temple. If I didn't have such abilities, how would those idiots follow me?" Liu Ziming didn't care what the slime was thinking or how weird the expression on its face was. He didn't care at all.
"You stay here quietly and keep watch for me. I'll go in alone. If I don't come out for a long time, you'd better leave here alone. Don't leave us both here. If that happens, we're doomed. Nobody will know we were here, and we won't even have any hope of being rescued."
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, Slime Jing couldn't help but admire him. This guy was quite meticulous. There was nothing she could do but follow his instructions. "Be careful when you go in. Don't let that girl Yuebai be bewitched."
In truth, what the slime spirit was thinking was, "You people are all the same, you can't resist any pretty girl. I know you all too well!" But he didn't say it aloud. "Heh, thank you, I understand. I'll be careful. I'm not stupid. All I care about is that Ice Lotus. I have absolutely no interest in Yue Bai." Regardless of what the slime spirit was really thinking, what Xiao Bai said was true: he only cared about the rumored Ice Lotus; he didn't care about anything else. "I didn't expect you to actually come?"
While Yuebai was feeling bored in his room, he never dreamed that Liu Ziming would slowly climb in through the window. At first, it startled him, but when he looked closely and realized it was Liu Ziming, he looked very surprised.
"Hehe, didn't you tell me you were staying at the Starry Inn? You helped me so much when I entered the city, getting me a token. I'm here to thank you?" To avoid Yuebai misunderstanding her, Xiaobai explained directly, also to dispel his doubts. "Hehehehehe... You're quite interesting. A magical beast actually knows how to repay kindness. I never thought of that."
Liu Ziming was completely taken aback when Yuebai let out a silvery laugh, but the laugh seemed to possess a certain bewitching quality, causing him to feel a sense of mental turmoil. "Holy crap, why am I having this strange feeling? Is this girl's laughter really that terrifying?"
However, Liu Ziming never dreamed that when he was feeling confused, the system in his mind would suddenly make a "ding" sound.
"System notification: The woman before you is indeed a magical beast, and like you, she can transform into human form. She possesses a certain degree of aggression and danger! Attack value 980, Strength value 970, Terror value unknown. She is the daughter of the city lord of this Demon King's City!"
Liu Ziming was completely taken aback when he unexpectedly entered the Demon King's City dungeon and received a system notification. He was overjoyed. "Heh, so this girl is actually the daughter of the Demon King's City's lord. It seems this guy is indeed not to be underestimated?"
However, Liu Ziming was also puzzled. Since Yuebai was the city lord's daughter, why didn't she return to her own residence? Why did she insist on staying at the Xingyao Inn? Did she have some other thoughts or purpose? "Have you finished laughing? I really came to repay a favor to you. Didn't you say before that I should exchange three Demon King artifacts for it? I'll give you one, no more, no less!"
Liu Ziming didn't hesitate at all, because he already knew that Yuebai was actually the daughter of the city lord of the Demon King's City. So he took out the three Demon King's items he had stolen from his pocket and threw them in front of him, looking very cool.
Yuebai really didn't expect that Liu Ziming would come to his residence for three Demon King items. He felt somewhat confused.
"What do you mean? Did you really take my joke seriously? Since we're both magical beasts, helping each other out is perfectly acceptable, isn't it?" Yuebai was genuinely confused.
Chapter 308 What a troublesome fellow!
Because Yuebai really couldn't understand it. When she helped Liu Ziming, she hadn't thought much about it; she had just said it casually. This guy actually came, and even brought three Demon King artifacts. "Heh, I think I've seen these three Demon King artifacts of yours before. You probably stole them, didn't you?"
When Yuebai helped Liu Ziming before, he became very interested in this guy. When he threw over the three Demon King items, Yuebai glanced at them and knew without looking closely that this guy must have stolen them. That's why he asked him that question.
"Heh, this doesn't seem to concern you. I've kept my promise, so we're even now?"
Liu Ziming loosened his shoulders, looking quite smug. He felt that he had no more entanglements or conflicts with Yuebai, so he didn't care.
"Hehe, it seems you have many misunderstandings about this castle. Don't you really want to stay here and acquire some basic cultivation skills or some treasures?"
Seeing Liu Ziming's nonchalant expression, Yuebai became extremely interested in Liu Ziming, even more so than before. He felt that this guy was indeed very mysterious and he wanted to know why he was like this.
So he naively thought he could protect Liu Ziming so she could gain cultivation skills or obtain some ancient treasures, but Liu Ziming didn't care at all. "I'm not very interested in what you're talking about. I've just repaid your favor. Can I leave now?"
Liu Ziming really didn't want to get too entangled with Yuebai anymore, because he felt that the longer he spent with her, the more he felt like he was falling for her.
It wasn't his good looks, but rather his aura and hesitant gaze that gave Liu Ziming a mesmerizing feeling.
"How could this be? Could there be something wrong with his eyes that can create a hallucinatory effect? If that's the case, I'd better be careful."
Fortunately, Liu Ziming had warned him beforehand, so he refused to look Yuebai in the eye. Otherwise, he probably would have been completely devoured by Yuebai long ago. "Hehe, handsome young master, are you really afraid to look at me? Or is it because I'm so beautiful that you've had other ideas?"
Liu Ziming truly hadn't expected that Yuebai would see right through his little scheme, and look at him with such certainty, as if she had him completely under her control. "Hehe, I really don't want to get entangled with you any longer. Thank you for your help before. I want to go back and rest now. I'll leave here tomorrow." Hearing Liu Ziming say this, Yuebai laughed even harder, and her expression became even more sinister.
He found the handsome young man in front of him to be very interesting, and although he felt a sense of wonder about him, he really liked him.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the illustrious Spider Boss to be in such a sorry state, trying to escape from me. If word gets out, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?" Liu Ziming was completely surprised that Yuebai had already seen through his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have helped him. His heart was filled with too much surprise and fear.
However, Liu Ziming was no pushover either. Although his identity had been exposed, he didn't care at all. So what if he fought him? What was the big deal? "Haha, I didn't expect the city lord's daughter, Yuebai, to actually know me. This lowly fellow really overestimates me!"
When Liu Ziming finished speaking, Yuebai's expression became even more surprised. He had no idea that very few people knew he was the daughter of the city lord. How did this guy know? Could he read minds?
Seeing the ever-changing expressions on Yuebai's face, Liu Ziming became even more smug. "Luckily, I have an awesome system in my head, otherwise this vixen would have really killed me." "How did you know I'm the city lord's daughter? Nobody has ever known this before, and nobody has ever seen me since I was little. Do you have mind-reading abilities?" Looking at the resentment in Yuebai's eyes, Liu Ziming didn't care at all. He wasn't about to tell this guy that he had an awesome system in his head, was he? (Requesting flowers.)
"Haha, you can even believe a joke like that? Looks like my tricks are pretty good?"
Since he couldn't tell him his own story, making up a lie to get by was probably the best option.
Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, Yuebai's eyes became even more hesitant. He developed a great interest in the young man before him, but at the same time, he felt a deep sense of crisis. "If this guy is my opponent, it would be a huge problem. It seems I should be careful?"
It must be said that Liu Ziming and Yuebai are both quite remarkable individuals. They are able to guess each other's thoughts and have developed a deep sense of crisis towards each other.
"...Haha, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb your rest any longer?"
After Liu Ziming finished speaking, she turned around, climbed onto the windowsill, drew a long silk thread, and floated away. "Holy crap, I didn't expect this guy to be a spider. Looks like I misjudged him after all?"
Yuebai was surprised by Liu Ziming's sudden visit, and equally surprised by his sudden departure. He genuinely couldn't understand what this guy was up to. Was it really just for the three Demon King artifacts? That seemed unlikely.
"You finally remembered to come back? I was so worried about you!"
When Liu Ziming appeared behind the slime like a ghost, he was indeed startled. But when he realized it was Liu Ziming, he punched him in the chest, seemingly very concerned. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me with one punch? Or smash me into a meat patty? You seem quite happy doing that, don't you?"
Liu Ziming deliberately clutched his chest, grimacing as if the slime's punch had genuinely hurt him. "Do you think this is funny? We're both in danger right now. This is the Demon King's Castle. Do you really not want to live?" The slime actually felt that Liu Ziming was truly a troublesome fellow.
Chapter 309 Ancient Divine Beast Ice-Type Flood Dragon
"Hehe, you can't even take a joke, how boring!" Liu Ziming took Slime Jing and slid down from the top of the Starry Inn.
The two transformed back into their nighttime adventurers and quickly returned to their lodgings. However, they were unaware that their companion was anxiously awaiting their return. "What were you two doing? Why are you acting like this? Why didn't you tell us?"
Seeing that Liu Ziming and Slime Jing had returned safely and unharmed, the cat angel actually ran up to Liu Ziming, pointed at him, and questioned him unhappily. "Heh, if I told you that we two were just bored and went for a stroll, would you believe me, '160'?"
Everyone rolled their eyes at Liu Ziming's explanation, because they thought he was a real handful and never told the truth. "Don't listen to his nonsense. We just went through all that trouble to steal three Demon King artifacts from outside, and we don't even know if they're still in his hands!"
On the way back, Slime Jing had a nagging feeling that Liu Ziming must have given the Demon King's items to Yuebai; otherwise, why did he seem to have nothing in his pocket? "My god, aren't you two courting death? This is the Demon King's castle! Why go through all that trouble to steal those Demon King's items? Do we really care about those things?" Seven-Colored Deer patted his chest, looking terrified. Everyone knew he was genuinely concerned for Liu Ziming and Slime Jing. "I was just an accomplice in this. As for the specific reasons and what happened afterward, you can ask this guy. I'm tired now, going back to my room to rest." Liu Ziming hadn't expected to be questioned by everyone upon his return. His expression was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't care at all.
"Hehe, sorry, I did steal three Demon King items, but I gave them to that girl Yuebai. Didn't we get help from her when we entered the city? Favors always have to be repaid, don't you guys understand that?" Liu Ziming's companions were speechless upon hearing his explanation. This guy was really crazy. This was the Demon King's City; they could easily lose their lives here. Did he think favors were more important than his life? "Ahem, Spider Boss, we don't agree with your actions, but could you use your brain a little and think about our feelings in the future?" Ahri, who was usually very concise, looked at Liu Ziming with some regret and said, as if this guy had never given her a moment's peace.
"Holy crap, did I do something wrong? I did this so that we could all get some useful things or treasures from Mengmeng Voice in the future. Did I do something wrong?" Liu Ziming was speechless, constantly asking himself the same question, but he couldn't find any answers.
Seeing the constantly changing expressions on Liu Ziming's face, everyone assumed he was plotting something and ignored him, going straight back to their rooms to sleep. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't go! Aren't you interested in the Ice Lotus?"
No one expected that Liu Ziming, the Ice Lotus, would actually set his sights on something that was just a legend being discussed by others. They really couldn't understand how this guy could be so bold.
But everyone quickly turned back, because they had indeed become very interested in the Alliance, only to find it guarded by an ice dragon. They didn't want to rush in and risk their lives. "Heh, have you thought of a better way to obtain that ice lotus and awaken our ice bloodline?"
To everyone's surprise, the Seven-Colored Deer, despite being the youngest and the most timid, was the first to begin interrogating Liu Ziming.
"Yes, yes, who wouldn't want to obtain the Ice Lotus? But it's guarded by an ice-type dragon. Do you have a better way?"
Even his most trusted cat angel perched on Liu Ziming's shoulder, whispering incessantly in his ear, seemingly also showing great interest in the Ice Lotus…
"Heh, what's so great about an ice-type dragon? Don't we have a fire dragon? Are we afraid of it?"
However, Liu Ziming never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, the fire dragon beside him vanished in a flash, seemingly terrified. "Damn it, I never told you to go and fight that guy head-on! Why are you so scared, you coward!"
Upon hearing Liu Ziming's bizarre idea, everyone rolled their eyes at him and turned to leave, finding him utterly unreliable. "Don't you want to hear other methods? Haven't you heard the saying that ice and fire are incompatible? My method is indeed feasible!"
Liu Ziming was genuinely anxious now, because no one trusted him anymore. What could he do? Even that Flame Dragon had vanished without a trace. "Sigh, the world is going to the dogs. There's no other way. It seems I can only rely on myself?"
But Liu Ziming never expected that when he turned around and returned to his room, the Flame Dragon was sitting on his bed with a smug look on its face, staring at him with obvious delight. "What the hell are you doing in my room? Are you interested in my suggestion?"
Liu Ziming naively thought that the Flame Dragon seemed to have developed a great interest in the Ice Lotus, but he did not expect that some of the Flame Dragon's words would be like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
"Haha, it seems you're all bravado and no brains at all? The ice-type dragon guarding the ice lotus is an ancient divine beast. How can I compare to it? In this city of elves, our cultivation levels are forcibly suppressed to the seventh rank. The ice-type dragon is an eighth-rank divine beast. I can't possibly defeat it."
Hearing the Flame Dragon say such a thing, Liu Ziming was filled with a big question mark. He really couldn't understand it. Was his thinking wrong?
However, regardless of the circumstances, he developed an interest in the Ice Lotus. That treasure was his, because once he obtained it, he would definitely be able to awaken his ice-type bloodline. Everyone wants to possess it.
Despite the Flame Dragon's feigned fear, Liu Ziming's anticipation for the Ice Lotus remained undiminished; he would obtain it for whatever reason.
"Heh, don't think that I'm helpless without your help. The Ice Lotus must be mine. Once I set my sights on something, it will never escape my grasp." The Flame Dragon twitched repeatedly. Looking at the smug expression on Liu Ziming's face, he felt speechless. This guy was indeed very bold, but his brain was definitely not up to par.
"It's not that I didn't warn you, but the ice-type dragon guarding the ice lotus is not only an eighth-order divine beast, but its abilities are far superior to ours. Even the bone-chilling cold is something you can't bear. Your cultivation level has already completely suppressed it. If you don't want to lose your life, it's best not to go there."
Although the Flame Dragon thought Liu Ziming was incredibly audacious, he really didn't want to see this guy lose his life in vain, so he tried his best to persuade him.
But he never expected that once Liu Ziming made up his mind, not even 289 oxen could pull him back. His expression was extremely stubborn, as if no one could stop him. "Alright, I'm tired too, I need to rest. You'd better go back to your own place and rest. I don't want to see you, you coward!" Seeing Liu Ziming make a contemptuous gesture towards him, the Flame Dragon felt utterly helpless. He had no way to deal with Liu Ziming.
"Looks like I can only pray for this guy's safety. Who knows when he might actually run off there. It seems I have no other options. I wonder if the other guys have any better ideas?" Because Liu Ziming had already given him the order to leave, Flame Dragon walked out of his room with a helpless expression.
"By the way, perhaps the cat angel can persuade this guy that he shouldn't be allowed to do this so blindly; it's just too dangerous?"
The Flame Dragon, surprisingly, had these thoughts in mind. Without any hesitation, he quickly went to the Cat Angel's room, hoping she could persuade this troublemaker. "What did you say? Liu Ziming actually has his eye on the Ice Lotus? Isn't he afraid of the Ice-type Flood Dragon? That's a full-fledged eighth-tier divine beast!"
The cat angel was rather timid. He hadn't expected Liu Ziming to actually have such a strange idea. This was the Demon King's City; making a scene would definitely attract trouble, and he didn't want that. "You'd better hurry over, or this guy might attack at any moment, and then it'll be too late for us to stop him."
With a helpless expression on his face, Flame Dragon left Cat Angel's room. He thought Cat Angel would really do as he said and persuade Liu Ziming, but he never expected that Cat Angel would change her gender and show a joyful expression on her face.
"Haha, now that I know, you won't be leaving me behind. How could I let you go alone with such a great opportunity?"
The cat angel knew that Liu Ziming had developed a great interest in the ice lotus, so he didn't sleep at all. Instead, he lay by his window, closely watching Liu Ziming's every move. If this guy dared to sneak out, he would follow him without hesitation.
"Ice Lotus, Ice Dragon, Fire Dragon, this guy is such a coward!"
Liu Ziming lay on his bed, pondering why the Flame Dragon was like this. Why didn't it have the courage of a real dragon, even though it was also a dragon?
"Never mind all that, I have to find a way to persuade this family, otherwise I really have no other choice. Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times, doesn't this Flame Dragon know that?" Liu Ziming made up his mind that he would never go alone, he had to bring the Flame Dragon with him, otherwise he would have a hard time dealing with an eighth-level ice-type dragon divine beast.
"Boss, please let me go. I really can't go there. Even though we're both in the Dragon Group, we've never been compatible. Don't you know that? Besides, his level is a whole rank higher than mine. Going there would be suicide."
The Flame Dragon had no idea that Liu Ziming would actually come to his room and patiently try to persuade him again and again. He was utterly speechless inside, but his face remained expressionless.
"If you're not coming with me this time, then there's no point in cooperating with me. You should know what the consequences will be if the city lord of the Demon King's City finds out you sneaked in without a token. Think about it yourself!" The Flame Dragon never dreamed that Liu Ziming would be so shameless as to use the city lord of the Demon King's City to coerce him for the sake of the Ice Lotus. The expression on his face was worse than if he'd eaten shit. "Boss, I'm really scared of you. Can't I go with you?"
When Liu Ziming heard that the Flame Dragon had actually agreed to his request, he pretended to be calm, waved his hand, and said arrogantly.
"If you're really scared, you don't have to come with me. I don't need to beg you. After all, everyone wants the Ice Lotus; it's a treasure that can awaken ice-type bloodlines. Don't you want to live?" Hearing Liu Ziming's shameless words, the Flame Dragon was even more speechless. He really couldn't understand why this guy, who already possessed the body of an evil god, still had such a strong allure for the Ice Lotus. "Boss, whatever you say goes. I'm scared, okay? If there are any more good things like this in the future, don't come looking for me again?"
Seeing the helpless expression on the Flame Dragon's face, Liu Ziming actually laughed, and laughed heartily, because he had this guy completely under his control. No matter what he did from now on, he wouldn't listen to him at all. "Alright, alright, I promise you. But if anything good happens in the future, don't say I didn't think of you. This is your own request, I have to fulfill it."
