Chapter 2316: Palace Emissary

“You can withdraw for now. I will contact some related personnel first.” Salamay waved her hand. She seemed to have a distressed expression. The Monster Lord’s treasury was clearly not an easy place to get into.

Zu An bade her goodbye and slowly withdrew. This visit had really brought unexpected good news. Not only had he gained a lot of intelligence, he was also able to obtain the help of this first miss. The materials he needed for the formation would now be much easier to get. The most important thing was now to get access to the libraries of this world and learn their formation skills to make up for the things he and Xie Daoyun didn’t know.

He suddenly noticed something while he was deep in thought. He looked up and saw that Mojard was looking at him from nearby.

Zu An greeted him. Mojard opened the door and remarked, “I heard that the True Demon race’s Donaire is good at currying favor with women. Today, I have developed a new level of respect for you. Our first miss has always been difficult to deal with, but the young master was actually able to make the first miss feel so happy.”

Zu An didn’t have to say anything before Mojard's expression grew grave and he said, “However... Please don’t blame me for being harsh, but you'd better not have any wishful thinking toward our first miss. Otherwise, your end will definitely be extremely miserable.”

Zu An’s face twitched. “Please do not worry, sir. That will never happen.”

Are you kidding me? Only you would treat that dinosaur-headed first miss as a treasure.

Mojard’s expression eased a bit when he heard that. “That’s good. As long as the young master does not covet the first miss, we will be friends from now on and fight side by side. We will become outstanding subjects with great achievements once we welcome the master home.”

Zu An agreed while cursing inwardly. If he wasn’t mistaken, this first miss had called Mojard 'uncle'. And yet, this guy seemed to have a strange kind of affection for Salamay.

An old cow wants to eat tender grass...?

But when he thought about Salamay’s appearance, he thought to himself that this Mojard really had quite interesting taste.

...

By the time Zu An parted with Mojard and returned to the cave, the women were already waiting anxiously by the entrance. They were all really excited and happy when they saw him return peacefully.

“Ah Zu, I’m so happy that you returned safely. We were worried to death!”

“That’s right, we were about to head over to save you, but we were also worried that we would end up ruining your plans.”

The women all chattered continuously. When he sensed their concern, Zu An couldn't help but feel warm inside.

Pei Mianman walked up to him with an ambiguous smile and asked, “By the way, what did that first miss look like? Was she an extraordinary beauty too?”

The women who had been busy talking quieted down. Even the aloof Jiang Luofu turned around and looked at Zu An with curiosity.

Zu An’s expression was a bit strange. He didn’t really know how to answer this question.

As if sensing his trouble, Pei Mianman said with a smile, “There's no need for you to have such misgivings. We're currently in the Monster World and need to borrow any strength we can. For the sake of the entire world, I believe that no one would blame you for using a male honey trap. Just charge forward bravely!”

Zu An was speechless. Out of helplessness, he could only give the women a rough explanation of what had happened.

The women all had strange looks on their faces when they heard what he said. Then, all of them roared with laughter. They had been so worried over here, and yet this was the end result!

Pei Mianman was laughing the hardest, her chest moving in great waves. When they saw that, the other women reflexively glanced at their own chests, which made their own smiles become a bit stiffer.

“But Ah Zu, sometimes we have to make some sacrifices, you know?” Jiang Luofu urged him on.

“Absolutely not!” Zu An said with a serious expression. “Am I someone who plays with others’ feelings like that?”

Pei Mianman couldn't help but say, “This is related to the safety of the entire world. No one would blame you even if you did it.”

Zu An was speechless.

It wasn’t too often that he found himself so hard-pressed. Even the usually gentle and refined Xie Daoyun couldn't help but grin.

...

The women teased him for a while longer, but then began to discuss the new information.

“I never expected that they were trying to save the Lord of Slaughter! But the Lord of Slaughter is already dead, so how do we help them save him?” Pei Mianman had heard Zu An explain the sealed land’s events before, and she knew that Qiu Honglei had almost died because of that, while Chu Chuyan had become the Snow Lady and was now suffering under the Bridge of Helplessness. She became a bit sad whenever she remembered this.

“We’ll think about that after they help us enter the Monster Lord’s treasury. There are other ways even if this doesn’t work out," Zu An replied. The beginning of a plan was already starting to form in his mind.

When they sensed his confidence, the women were all full of admiration. No matter how difficult the situation was, this man always had a solution.

Jiang Luofu said, “Regardless, a large amount of the Monster Lord’s trusted aides have already been roped in by the Lord of Slaughter’s faction. This is a good thing for us.”

Everyone else nodded. They'd thought that they would have to face the Monster Lord and his endless subordinates. Now that there was another force helping them to take on some of the burden and weaken him, that made the overall situation much better.

Zu An frowned. “A monster is coming.”

The beautiful women's faces changed. They couldn't catch a break at all! There were more monsters coming? They were in a dangerous situation right now. The slightest mistake could end up alerting the enemy.

Zu An’s expression became a bit unpleasant too, because he saw that the one who had come was the great elder, who had another monster with him. Furthermore, the great elder’s expression toward this person seemed to be really respectful.

The second monster’s entire body was ash-gray and was barely humanoid in shape. There were two sharp horns on his forehead. The most eye-catching part, however, was the pair of the pitch-black wings on his back. They weren’t made of a fleshy membrane like bat wings; rather, they looked more like the feathered wings of a hawk or crow. The monster's expression was proud and dignified, and he didn’t give the great elder next to him a single look.

“Young master, the palace emissary has arrived.” When he saw the other party’s contemptuous attitude, the great elder was irritated, but he didn’t dare to show it. He could only loudly remind Donaire. This youngster was now the hope of the entire True Demon race, so he absolutely couldn't end up offending this palace emissary.

Palace emissary? Zu An thought, surprised. Even though he had never heard of this person before, judging from the title and the great elder’s respectful attitude, this was probably a trusted aide of the Monster Lord.

As such, he didn’t dare to show any carelessness and came out of the cave, saying, “I greet the palace emissary!”

At the same time, he sized up the other party’s strength. With his current cultivation, he could see some things such as ‘ki’ that couldn't normally be seen by the naked eye. That was more useful than checking energy fluctuations.

The raging demonic flames around this emissary burned even more fiercely than those of the True Demon race’s great elder. He was powerful, as expected!

The palace emissary gave Zu An a look before saying, “Donaire, the Monster Lord wants to see you.”

Zu An felt a chill run through his body. He'd never expected to immediately end up meeting the Monster Lord.

The women who heard Yun Yuqing’s translation inside the cave were all horrified as well. They knew that their big brother Zu was in danger!
