The boulder viper looked at Li Qingshan in awe. Although it was the strongest among the daemons, the difference between it and a daemon general was not small. What Li Qingshan had done earlier had made it lose all interest in resisting. It answered obediently.
It answered honestly, "I am responsible for guarding the cave for King Ye Liusu. I will not let anyone disturb the king's rest. Otherwise, I will be punished." The boulder viper helplessly curled its huge body. It missed the era when Milliped was the leader. Back then, he was unrestrained and did not need to listen to anyone's orders.
"King Ye Liusu? This daemon has good taste in naming things. "Li Qingshan muttered to himself," Then do you know what kind of daemon he is? What magical powers does he have? "
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Li Qingshan would never underestimate his enemies.
"This … I don't know either. Also, King Ye Liusu is not a daemon."
"Not daemons?" Li Qingshan raised his voice. "Don't tell me humans can carve out territory underground too?"
"No, no, he's not a human either."
"If he's not a human or a daemon, then what is he?"
The boulder viper described it, but unfortunately, as a powerful daemon that lived underground, it was very lacking when it came to adjectives, which confused Li Qingshan even more. All he knew was that king Ye Liusu did not come from the other Daemon Generals in the surroundings. Instead, she came from underground.
If he couldn't figure it out, then he would go and see for himself. Although Li Qingshan was cautious, he was not afraid. He had the boulder viper move to the side and strode into the depths of the cave.
"Leader, King Ye Liusu comes and goes without a trace. He's very powerful." The boulder viper reminded Li Qingshan from behind. Li Qingshan had clearly become a daemon general not long ago. He might not be a match for King Ye Liusu.
He hurriedly burrowed into the soil. If King Ye Liusu discovered him, he would be the one who let them in. That would be terrible.
In the darkness, there was suddenly a bit of light. Suddenly, a spot of light appeared. A Blue Butterfly Flower was emitting a faint blue light in the darkness. Its two butterfly wings were fluttering lightly. However, it was clear that it had not yet matured and was unable to break free from the restraints of the branches and fly into the sky.
Milliped swam over with a clattering sound. Li Qingshan grabbed its leg and told it to find a place to hide, so that it wouldn't be noticed by King Ye Liusu.
Li Qingshan told Little Ann to wait at the cave entrance as he walked forward alone. Finally, he saw the sea of Blue Butterfly Flowers again. Blue Butterfly Flowers were quietly blooming, but there were only one or two of them dancing in the air. Before every Blue Butterfly Flower bloomed, it was like a flower. This time, Li Qingshan had taken away who knew how many years of accumulation from this place.
Apart from the sea of flowers. Li Qingshan couldn't find the slightest bit of familiarity.
A crude rock cave. It had undergone meticulous carvings, totems, and patterns. They covered the rock walls. Specks of light flickered on the domed ceiling. Countless pearls and gems of various sizes were embedded into the ceiling, making it look like a starry sky. It was beautiful, like a black palace filled with dreamy colors and exotic charm.
At the center of the palace, Milliped's large spirit stone bed had been replaced by an exquisite wooden couch. Layers of curtains hung down, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Just from this decoration alone, Li Qingshan was certain that King Ye Liusu was not a monster. No monster would waste time on something like this. The aura coming from behind the curtains seemed to prove this point.
It wasn't demonic aura, but it didn't seem like spiritual aura either. It was something in between, something that seemed right but wasn't. He could vaguely guess what it was.
But when he walked forward and lifted the heavy curtains, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of shock.
The two pointy ears indicated that it wasn't human. Its smooth skin seemed to be shrouded in a layer of night. It was the color of the midsummer sky. The mixture of black and blue further proved this point.
It was not human, nor was it a daemon, but otherfolk.
Li Qingshan could even tell its race with a single glance — night roamers.
This was all thanks to the countless dates he had with Han Qiongzhi. When the two of them chatted about everything — Li Qingshan was the one listening most of the time — Han Qiongzhi had mentioned the existence of this race in the past.
Their ink-blue skin was their most prominent characteristic. They were the complete opposite of humans who moved around during the day and rested at night. They were nocturnal. They could see through the deepest darkness, but they were blind during the day.
After the human race prospered, they were exiled to remote, savage lands just like other otherfolk, becoming a legend. He never thought he would actually meet them underground.
If this was not enough to leave Li Qingshan so surprised, then the fact that King Ye Liusu, who sat with her legs crossed in the heavy curtains, was actually a woman was enough.
Strands of her ink-blue hair draped over her perfect oval face. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her eyelashes were long. Her nose was tall, and her facial features were exquisite.
She only wore simple, black armour, which only wrapped around the most important parts. Beautiful patterns that resembled flowering branches extended across her exposed skin. They were of the same style as the surrounding murals, but they seemed more like natural tattoos than tattoos. They were also the only adornment on her body.
If he could ignore the colour of her skin, she was without a doubt a supreme beauty. Or in other words, it was her skin that was like the night sky that filled her with a mysterious, exotic charm.
Li Qingshan saw her frown slightly. Clearly, she had sensed his existence, but she remained motionless. She had probably reached a critical juncture in her cultivation.
Li Qingshan was rather disappointed. He just climbed onto the stone bed and sat down in front of her, admiring her hot figure as he waited for her to wake up.
It was not that he did not want to take advantage of her, nor was it because his legs had softened at the sight of a woman. On the contrary, certain parts of his body had silently hardened. He began to reminisce about the good times he had spent with Han Qiongzhi. He wondered if she had emerged from seclusion yet. When the time came, all he needed to do was to successfully kiss her …
Li Qingshan's goal in coming here had never been to kill. Daemons could not kill each other. This could be considered the first law of the Demi-human world. Although this Ye Liusu was a mutant, she had definitely obtained the permission of the Daemon Commander to govern this territory. She could be considered a member of the Demi-human race.
Killing her would be easy, but he would not need to continue living underground. He would use the method of daemons to directly defeat her and take back the territory that had once belonged to Milliped.
A drop of sweat seeped out from the tip of Ye Liusu's nose. She was extremely nervous. This was a critical juncture in cultivating the Night Demon Sutra, so she had given the order to seal off all the paths leading to this place. The fact that the intruder had been able to pass through the pass and reach this place proved that he possessed extraordinary strength.
Right now, she was unable to move. Otherwise, not only would she fail at the last step, she would also suffer a backlash and be heavily injured.
At this moment, she suddenly felt his hand reach out towards her. Her body immediately tensed up, but that hand only waved in front of her.
Li Qingshan was bored from waiting. He yawned and changed to lying on his side. Suddenly, he saw a sheathed dagger hanging behind her waist. It was curved like a crescent moon, so he reached out to take it.
Ye Liusu suddenly opened her eyes, which were as brilliant as the stars in the night sky.
