Chapter 1322 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (58)

Bai Heng's residence was called Chongming Hall.

The roof is covered with glazed tiles, and twelve carved pillars supporting the sky are engraved with nine-tailed fox patterns and inlaid with luminous pearls. The warm jade cloud pattern ground is adorned with colorful glazed sand, the black jade throne has a gilded fox head, and the silk palace lanterns burn with the fragrance of a thousand-year-old sandalwood. Every part exudes a sense of grandeur.

Li Guang sat on the soft couch, amused as she looked at the good things she had received again.

The fox sent a youth-preserving pearl that could maintain one's appearance for a thousand years, while the fang sent a moon-holding comb that could potentially enhance one's cultivation insights.

At first, only the Liao people sent gifts, but after Hu Bugui's subordinates discovered this, they also sent demons to contact her and befriend her.

Since she gradually revealed her "true nature" in the mansion, those people both looked down on her and tried to bribe and flatter her. She was adept at navigating between them, pretending to be stupid, and every few days she would receive new treasures from her "friends".

Moreover, under her tutelage, the two sides started competing with each other like they were wrestling, as if sending something too bad would disgrace their master. She really got off easy!

She took out the lucky bell that Hu Bugui had sent her last time. It was a small, gilded bell about the size of a thumb. If there were any treasures hidden nearby, it would emit a faint light when it was rung.

This kind of thing would be a treasure if it were used for searching for objects outside, but unfortunately it's just an ornament here. When she shakes it, the bell lights up, and the decorations inside the palace are all considered treasures.

However, these demons were also very wary, and most of their items were unsuitable for Bai Heng to use, as they were preventing her from giving Bai Heng any treasures.

And so she pretended to be unintentional, letting them trick her into revealing some of Bai Heng's latest information.

In fact, those were things that she and Bai Heng wanted them to know.

Although she couldn't leave Chongming Palace and was surrounded by demons watching her and Bai Heng, she felt quite at ease with these new friends to keep her company.

With her drawing the fire, Bai Heng either sat cross-legged to meditate and consolidate his cultivation every day, or stood by the window with a faint gloom on his face, as if he was really trapped in this dilemma.

His appearance made both demons lower their guard a bit.

They were using a combination of coercion and enticement, trying to be polite first and then resorting to force. Neither side wanted to fight to the death. If Bai Heng was pushed too far, who knew what he might do? So they were both planning to try to break through Bai Heng's partner, Xiao Yao A Xing.

Li Guang received many gifts and was brainwashed by these demons. It was obvious that her attitude towards Hu Bugui and Liao softened, revealing her dissatisfaction with her poor cultivation and low talent, showing concern for Bai Heng's situation, and resentment towards his stubborn attitude.

"Your injuries haven't healed, and your cultivation level has dropped significantly. How can you protect me and the child?"

"Elder Bugui and the Demon King didn't intend to force us to die. Wouldn't it be better if we handed over the Demon King's Seal and fled to a distant land?"

"My cultivation level is so low, and my lifespan is limited. Can I wait for you for thousands or tens of thousands of years? I also want to become powerful and advance to a great demon. You can't give me those resources, so why can't I accept gifts? They gave them to me voluntarily!"

"My lord, please hand over the Demon King's Seal! I'm begging you!"

"Why are you so stubborn? I know you can't produce the Demon King's Seal right now, but once you recover from your injuries and can communicate with it, you can hand it over, right?"

"I'm naive? Who's the naive one here! Don't interfere in my affairs until you hand over the Demon King's Seal! I love those rare and precious treasures! They're my good friends, and you're not allowed to slander them!"

Li Guang was arguing loudly, while Bai Heng spoke in a low voice, his voice filled with pain and helplessness.

After she and Bai Heng argued about the child, they both felt the time was almost right.

These past few days, Li Guang has been giving the cold shoulder unilaterally. To the astonishment of all the demons, Bai Heng, the young master of the demon race, is actually troubled by love and is humbly begging his partner for forgiveness. His attitude is extremely humble, and he is simply a love-struck fool.

Once the two demons reconciled, the little demon girl went to play with her friends in the palace.

Her seemingly clever actions, which actually revealed her true intentions, were relayed by the demon.

This made both Liao and Hu Bugui realize that the little female demon had seen through their strength and was determined to persuade Bai Heng to hand over the Demon King's Seal so that she could escape to live among humans.

They're currently trying to find out which side is stronger and what their attitude is towards Bai Heng, like placing a bet, unsure which side to bet on.
