"Xiao Bai, it's over, we've gotten into big trouble." Gu Qingxi whispered to Bai Ze in her arms.
The Tree of Life, which had stood in the demon world for tens of thousands of years, was sucked dry by Xiaobai.
Bai Ze raised his voice slightly, not knowing what he wanted to express. Then he jumped down from Gu Qingxi's arms, walked to the dim and withered Tree of Life, and lightly stamped his feet.
Both the Demon King and Gu Qingxi looked at Bai Ze's actions without knowing why.
The next moment, two points of white light slowly rose from the bottom of the Tree of Life.
Bai Ze's little head shook, and the two white lights flew directly towards Gu Qingxi, and Gu Qingxi stretched out her hand to catch them.
Gu Qingxi lowered her head and looked at the thing in her hand. They were two round and glowing seeds.
"What is this?" Gu Qingxi touched the seeds in her hand and asked doubtfully.
The Demon King came over and saw clearly what was in Gu Qingxi's hand. His whole body started to tremble with excitement. Just now his face was filled with despair, but now his face was flushed with excitement. His voice even stuttered: "This , these are the seeds of the Tree of Life! And, there are still two! The seeds of the legendary Tree of Life!"
When Gu Qingxi heard this, she became excited.
seed!
You can plant it and it will grow again!
One tree of life is gone, but two more will grow!
Gu Qingxi handed the seeds to the Demon Queen, touched Bai Ze's little head, and almost burst into tears, "Baby, we don't have to pay with our lives!"
"However, it will take at least a hundred years for it to sprout and five hundred years for it to grow." The Demon King continued.
Gu Qingxi's hot tears froze in her eyes.
So, she still has to compensate, right?
"Alas..." The Demon King sighed, with a depressed expression and a low and weak voice, "I can't blame you. You told me that this was a Baize Egg, but I still didn't believe it. I even urged you to put it down. It's my problem. Everything is my own problem and has nothing to do with you. I can still afford to wait for six hundred years. Just wait for the seeds to take root and sprout. Just wait slowly."
When Gu Qingxi heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable. She said weakly: "Your Majesty, if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best." She could only find a way to compensate. Why did my son directly suck up the tree of life of others?
"Yes, yes! You can sit in the demon world for a month to diagnose and treat our demons' injuries. Of course, this is not a free clinic. You can charge whatever you want. A bunch of demons will train you and you can still make money, how about that?" The demon king immediately said a lot of things impatiently.
Gu Qingxi: "..." Why does she think the Demon King has already thought about asking her to sit in a consultation? The words came out so smoothly and so impatiently. It's hard not to let her think that way.
But her Baize family has indeed sucked up the tree of life. Even if there are seeds of the tree of life, they belong to others. Besides, it will take another six hundred years, so compensation should indeed be paid.
However, the matter of tempering the golden elixir has to be postponed again.
"Then I will start the consultation from tomorrow." Gu Qingxi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, it happens to be the Ten Thousand Demons Festival, and many demon clans will come to the imperial capital. There are also many generals who have left many hidden diseases from previous battles. It all depends on you!" The demon king looked at it with bright eyes. Gu Qingxi said in a sincere tone.
Gu Qingxi: "..." Now she suddenly understood why the master didn't give any instructions for her and the fifth senior brother to visit their former best friend, the Demon King, before they left.
The Demon King has a lot of tricks. But it's reasonable and doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
So, sure enough, is ginger still spicier when old?
After returning to the Demon King's study again, it was already an hour later.
The Demon King wanted to keep Gu Qingxi to eat in the palace, but Gu Qingxi declined.
After Bai Ze hatches, she will go back to check Bai Ze's body. Qin Hanliang said that Bai Ze was injured and needed treatment.
"Then I won't keep you. Come to the competition venue early tomorrow for medical treatment." The demon king said happily.
Gu Qingxi: "..."
Just as Gu Qingxi was about to say goodbye and leave, she suddenly remembered something. She asked: "Your Majesty, do you know about Prince Fu's ambition to...that thing about you?"
Ancestor Wan Ling almost laughed out loud. The little devil's words were really too subtle. There was an ambiguity in what he said.
Instead, there is anything that cannot be said directly. The demon world is different from the human world. If you say it directly, the demon king will not feel disrespectful.
The Demon King also fell silent for a moment and said: "You can just say that he wants to usurp the throne and replace me. I don't mind being more straightforward."
"So, you know about this?" Gu Qingxi was a little surprised.
"Yes, I know." The Demon King shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Your Majesty, have you taken precautions for a long time?" When Gu Qingxi heard this, she could finally let go of her worries. Think about it, after all, he is the Demon King, how could he not take any precautions?
"No." As a result, the next moment, the Demon King said confidently.
A big question mark slowly appeared on Gu Qingxi's head. Did she hear it wrong?
Seeing Gu Qingxi's puzzled expression, the Demon King laughed and explained to Gu Qingxi. Unexpectedly, the words turned into the Demon King's angry complaints:
"If Prince Fu wants to be the Demon King, then he can become one.
Only when you actually sit in this position can you realize how annoying and tiring it is.
The demon clan is not as easy to manage as the human clan.
Many big demons tell me that it’s time to pay taxes, and they say they have no money. Then they give me their shed skin or shed hair and ask for tax deductions. Extremely rogue!
Many little demons asked them to pay taxes, and they directly transformed into their real bodies, went into the mountains and forests, and hid for a year and a half.
Sometimes when going to court to discuss matters, do you think the demon clan would argue in a formal manner like the human clan, or make insinuations and sarcasm?
No, they all started fighting whenever they disagreed.
My main hall needs to be renovated seven or eight times in ten years.
Do you think the money for repairs comes from the big monsters?
No! They all use shed skins, exchanged furs, horns and other things for money! They are a bunch of shameless hooligans!
There are a lot of shed skins or hairs of big monsters in the treasury now.
Oh, if you are interested, you can choose some at will later. If you want them all, you have to give me some money.
Don't think I'm a demon king, I'm extremely poor.
The princes who were enfeoffed at that time were basically depleted.
The Demon Country is really difficult to manage. It’s exhausting and exhausting, and I haven’t even gotten a favor yet.
There is also the national master who keeps a cold face all day long, and I still have to smile at her even if I ask her to do anything.
Am I the Demon King or is she the Demon King! I don’t know where I disappeared now, but it’s okay, out of sight, out of mind.
You have also seen my palace today. The chief manager must have told you that I do not value enjoyment.
Am I not focusing on enjoyment? I am so poor!
I have to calculate and calculate my money.
Whoever wants to be this demon king should do so. "
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi was stunned.
Is it so difficult to be a demon king?
