Urban Demon Refining System

"Hehe, young friend, are you very interested in my identity?" As if sensing something, Prime Minister Turtle turned around and said with a smile.

"Um, you're a player too?" Zhao Baichuan asked uncertainly. Although Xiao Yang had told him that there were more than just human players in the game, he was still very curious about what exactly a demon player was.

"Player? Haha, that's right, that seems to be the term. I am the demon race player you're talking about!" As he spoke, the Turtle Prime Minister pulled out a cell phone from somewhere and waved it in front of him.

“This…” Zhao Baichuan’s lips twitched involuntarily. He clearly saw that a piece of the fruit logo on the back of the phone was missing.

"Ding! Demon player Wu Shuang has requested to add you as a friend. Do you wish to accept?"

"Accept!" Zhao Baichuan was slightly taken aback at first, then clicked "agree".

"Young friend! I see you have a bright future ahead of you, and I intend to forge a good relationship with you today." Soon, Wu Shuang's private message arrived. The friend system in the game is equivalent to private chat; friends who have added each other can discuss private matters without others knowing.

"A promising talent? Could this guy be a fraud?" Zhao Baichuan thought to himself. If Wu Shuang weren't a demon and not human, he would have really mistaken him for one of those charlatans.

"Prime Minister Turtle is joking. I have no outstanding talents whatsoever."

"Hehe, my Xuan Turtle clan is most skilled in divination, I can't be wrong."

"Ding! Wu Shuang has sent you an email. Please check your inbox!" As soon as he finished speaking, an email arrived.

"Wait until you leave before you see!" Wu Shuang sent a series of emojis, her tone mysterious. Then she fell silent.

"What is so mysterious!" Zhao Baichuan couldn't help but feel curious, but he suppressed his emotions. Of course, this wasn't because he was particularly obedient, but because the exit had already been reached.

"Be careful! We've entered the interior of the Azure Wave Pool Water Palace!" Prime Minister Turtle whispered a warning in the group. "Shrimp Seven, open the exit!"

"Glug!" Shrimp Soldier Seven spat out a string of bubbles, waved its pincers, and pushed open the exit. It then crawled out first.

Zhao Baichuan and the others did not rush out, but waited at the exit for a while. Only after Xia Qi sent another "glug glug" signal did they carefully climb out.

"This is the back garden of the Water Palace," said Prime Minister Turtle, looking at the surrounding coral reefs. "There are two palaces here, one in front and one in back. As for where the Nine-Headed Insect is hiding, I don't know. We'll split into two groups now. Miss Xiao, Friend Zhao, and I will go to the back palace, while Friend Blackhead and Shrimp Seven and Crab Eight will take care of the front palace!"

"No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Blackie patted his chest and assured him.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yang warned worriedly. The danger level in the front palace and the harem was the same, but with the Turtle Prime Minister in charge, their safety was somewhat guaranteed.

"Haha! Don't worry! I see that my friend Blackhead is not destined to die young, so you don't need to worry!" The Turtle Prime Minister once again used his divination skills, and with his assurance, Xiao Yang finally felt a little relieved.

"Haha! Then we're leaving. Be careful!" Blackhead laughed and left with Shrimp Seven and Crab Eight.

“Let’s go too! Judging from the divination, it’s more likely that the Nine-Headed Insect is hiding in the harem!” After watching Blackhead and the others leave, Prime Minister Turtle cast another divination. “Let’s go that way!” With that, he took the lead and walked towards a path not far away.

……

The Jade Wave Pool Palace, originally the place where the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints kept his mistress, is now occupied by the Nine-Headed Insect's subordinates. Zheng Xiaowu, who has just adapted to life underwater, is here.

Speaking of Zheng Xiaowu, one has to admire his luck. At the start of the game, he coincidentally chose the sealing stone and subdued the Greedy Dragon in the beginner's guide quest. Little did he know that this monster was actually the head of the Nine-Headed Insect. Under its influence, Zheng Xiaowu sneaked into a private collector's house and stole a mysterious bead, successfully unsealing the Nine-Headed Insect from the sealing stone.

Although he did some foolish things later out of selfish motives, he did quite well under the protection of the Nine-Headed Insect, who still remembered their past relationship.

"Brother Zheng! When do you think the Prince Consort will emerge from seclusion?" Benboerba peeled an oyster and offered it to Zheng Xiaowu, speaking with a hint of obsequiousness. It was strange, really. Benboerba and Baboerben were merely two minor demons responsible for gathering intelligence, yet after the destruction of the Dragon Palace, they had gradually become leaders of the Bibo Pool aquatic tribes, even disregarding the Dragon Girl Ao Qing. Now, however, their attitude towards Zheng Xiaowu was excessively respectful.

"How would I know? His Majesty's power is boundless; how could we lowly minions fathom it?" Zheng Xiaowu took the oyster, swallowed the meat inside without ceremony, and casually tossed the shell aside, saying nonchalantly, "His Majesty has captured a fairy this time. As long as we obtain her fairy body, it won't be long before we regain our former strength!"

"The prince consort has actually captured a fairy!" Benboerba's eyes widened immediately. "Then isn't he incredibly powerful now?"

"So-so! That fairy only lasted a dozen or so moves against the king before she was defeated." Zheng Xiaowu said with a sidelong glance at Benboerba, but a hint of disdain showed in his heart. Little brat, I grew up under the poison of all kinds of transmigration novels. How could I not know your little tricks? You just want to use me to find out the truth about the Nine-Headed Insect.

Zheng Xiaowu's guess was correct. More than a thousand years had passed since the Nine-Headed Insect was sealed away. These two guys had long forgotten the fear of being dominated by it. Moreover, they were no longer the two little monsters they once were, but the real bosses of Bibo Pool. They even planned to kidnap Princess Ao Qing and experience what it was like to be a prince consort. However, before these dreams could be realized, the Nine-Headed Insect descended out of nowhere and shattered their illusions.

However, even though the Nine-Headed Insect successfully returned, they were still somewhat resentful. Having been the boss for so long, who could bear being used as cannon fodder again? Besides, when Marshal Tianpeng cut off their lower lips and ears, the Nine-Headed Insect didn't utter a single word. Naturally, they had some other ideas, and Zheng Xiaowu, who came with the Nine-Headed Insect, became the best target for their investigation.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zheng Xiaowu's words, Benboerba subconsciously exchanged a glance with Baboerben. They both saw a look of surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes. Could it be that the Nine-Headed Insect really has such amazing strength as this kid said?
