The palace lanterns were tall, and the soft light shone on the red carpet on the floor.
Compared to the liveliness outside, the Underworld Lord's palace was very quiet. Only the Underworld Yaksha female officials stood silently on both sides of the carpet.
"This way." A female Yaksha official with a good figure led a man in green. Unlike the others, this man in green was a human, which attracted the curious gazes of the maids on both sides.
When their figures disappeared around the corner of the corridor, whispers could be heard. "He is the human who obtained first place in the selection, Ye Kong!"
"He doesn't look tall, and doesn't look strong. How can he be so capable?"
"You don't understand. Immortals compete in magic, and it has nothing to do with height. Moreover, Liao Yi isn't very tall or strong!"
"I like strong ones! It's so satisfying to touch those shiny, hard pecs! "
"You're so coquettish!"
The warriors who returned from the selection would have a bright future. Therefore, they were the ideal targets of these young palace maids.
At this moment, Ye Kong had already arrived in front of a restricted door. The female official who led the way knocked on the door. After hearing a shout from inside, she said to Ye Kong, "The Underworld Lord is inside, please come in!"
'The Underworld Lord called me to open before the ceremony. I'm afraid he's worried that I'll mention Immortal Monarch Li Yao in front of everyone. That's why he came to negotiate with me in advance … Since you have misgivings, it'll be easier for me to deal with you!' Ye Kong was secretly delighted. He took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and entered the palace.
The palace door wasn't small, but after entering, one would discover that this was a small palace. On one side of the palace was a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, one could see a tranquil pond. The pond was filled with all sorts of glowing hell plants. It was a very artistic scene.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Underworld Lord was sitting elegantly. Opposite the small table, Wang Haibao was also sitting there.
"Ye Kong, you're here. Sit." The Underworld Lord turned around and smiled. He didn't stand up, but beckoned Ye Kong to sit down. He seemed very friendly.
However, Ye Kong didn't dare to be careless. He nodded and walked over, then nodded at Wang Haibao. When Ye Kong came out from hell, he didn't see Wang Haibao and Li Yuanfen. It turned out that they had been invited to the Palace of the Lord of Hell.
"These were all transplanted from the Netherworld's ninetieth layer and below. The mortality rate is extremely high, and it took a lot of effort to survive. Even older sister Li Yao said that it was beautiful. She was so happy that she forgot about her duties, "Underworld Lord said in a leisurely manner. It seemed like he was chatting about family matters, but the negotiations had already begun.
Immortal Lord Li Yao indulged in pleasure just because of this pool of glowing plants? What nonsense! Ye Kong coldly harrumphed in his heart, and said, "These plants were originally from Hell, where they could live happily. However, for the sake of our own appreciation, we forced them to move, and many of them died in the process. Aiya, what a sin! Amitabha, it's where it belongs. If it's the Netherworld, it's the Netherworld. If it's the Immortal World, it's the Immortal World. Everyone lives freely. We shouldn't do evil things that go against common sense. "
There was a hidden meaning in Ye Kong's words. He kept on saying the word 'sinner', causing black lines to appear on the Underworld Lord's forehead. He was so angry in his heart that he wanted to die. He secretly cursed that this Ye Kong was really a sharp-tongued person, an expert in verbal warfare.
Underworld Lord did not flare up. Instead, he smiled faintly and changed the topic, "Ye Kong, I've heard about it! Your Immortal Tribulation is in one or two days. What are your plans? "
When Ye Kong heard this, he immediately felt that something was amiss. He hurriedly turned to look at Wang Haibao. This was because he had only told Wang Haibao about his plans.
However, Wang Haibao hurriedly shook his head. Ye Kong also thought that it couldn't be him who said it. Wasn't he just causing trouble for himself?
Thinking about it, it was normal for an astute person like Underworld Lord to think of this.
Since Underworld Lord thought of it, Ye Kong did not hide it. He cupped his fists and said, "That's right. Little Ye, I was just about to talk to Big Sister Underworld Lord about this matter. Only Big Sister has the ability to open up a spatial passage to Salt Head Planet in the Underworld. Thus, Little Ye would like to ask Big Sister to help me once."
Ye Kong had always been thinking of bringing up this matter after his negotiation with Underworld Lord. At that time, the situation would already be set. Underworld Lord would not offend him because of this small matter and would definitely agree to it.
However, he never expected that Underworld Lord would bring up this matter right from the start! This was extremely troublesome. Underworld Lord was clearly trying to make use of Ye Kong on this matter.
"Ask me to help?" Underworld Lord chuckled, "Then I'll treat it as a request from you, the champion of the selections?"
Ye Kong cursed in his heart. This matter was troublesome. If he really offended the Underworld Lord, and she really did not help him, then his Immortal Tribulation would really fail!
That Underworld Lord was extremely astute. When she saw that Ye Kong did not reply immediately, she knew that he was hesitating. She spoke again, "Ye Kong, actually, I have always thought highly of you. I believe that you can become the ruler of the Immortal World in the future … However, you haven't even passed the Minor Immortal Tribulation. There's still a long road ahead of you. You have to change your personality. Don't be so straightforward. When it's time to be tactful, you have to be tactful. When it's something you can't control, don't forcefully stick your head out …"
"I know that my bullsh * t temper isn't good. However, I have also become an Immortal Monarch. According to what I know, the cultivation speed in the Immortal World is extremely fast … Even though my bad temper has caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble, it is precisely because of my bad temper that I have the courage to persevere! " Ye Kong picked up the cup of water on the table and drank a mouthful. He looked out of the window and said indifferently, "If you shrink your head once, it means that you will shrink your head twice, thrice, countless times in the future … The more you shrink your head, the more you will become a coward."
The Underworld Lord did not expect him to reject her immediately. She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Kong. However, her eyelids drooped immediately. "You were still hesitating just now. In the blink of an eye, you're so resolute. You think that I'm easy to talk to, so you're putting on an act to support me, right? Negotiations are all like this. Truth and lies, I understand. "
However, what the Underworld Lord did not expect was for Ye Kong to admit it immediately. "That's right, Big Sister Underworld Lord. When you threatened me just now, I was afraid. I hesitated. I even thought about compromising …"
Ye Kong took a deep breath and said, "However, I remember that Immortal Monarch Li Yao was trapped here by you for hundreds of years in order to save me! She came here because of me. This has nothing to do with you and Big Brother Hai Bao. Therefore, I must restore her freedom! If I don't save her, the heavens will not tolerate it! "
"Immortal Monarch Li Yao was trapped for hundreds of years because of me. I, Ye Kong, am also willing to delay my Minor Immortal Tribulation for her! I believe that even if it is delayed, it will come again next time. I also believe that in less than a hundred years, my Minor Immortal Tribulation will come again! "
As Ye Kong spoke, he stood up under the astonished gaze of the Underworld Lord. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Big Sister Underworld Lord. Just now, Little Ye asked for your help. It was a request that I made randomly. I have already decided to give up on this Minor Immortal Tribulation! I will definitely not ask for Big Sister Underworld Lord's help again! I'll take my leave now! I will raise my request in front of everyone at the end of the ceremony! I'll take my leave first. "
"This …" Faced with Ye Kong's resolute attitude, the Underworld Lord, who was previously calm and thought that he had complete control over the situation, suddenly panicked.
If he really insisted on going his own way, not only would he offend a troublesome enemy like Ye Kong in the future, he would also embarrass himself at the upcoming ceremony! With so many contestants and spectators, everyone would definitely ask who Li Yao was and why she was trapped in the Underworld. As long as someone intentionally spread the news, the entire Underworld would be filled with scandals about the Underworld Lord!
What was even more despicable was that those fellows who had nothing better to do would only make the rumors worse!
Finally, just as Ye Kong was about to walk out of the small hall, the Underworld Lord's helpless and bitter laugh sounded. "Your temper … Come back, come back! Let's talk again … "
