Looking south to the continent, the sky is clear.

On the clouds, three huge warships of nearly 100 feet sailed slowly.

The sails were swollen in an arc in the wind, and the huge oars stretched out on both sides stretched out like the wings of a fish. The dragon's head hits the horns, and the gold-inlaid hull is gorgeous and mighty.

At the top, there was a huge banner with the word "dragon" written in hieroglyphs. Between its teeth and claws, the dragon held the dragon ball, spitting flames.

"Turn the rudder ——!" accompanied by the shouts of the shrimp soldiers on the mast, the officers and men of the three warships shouted in unison, exerted force in unison, and swung the huge sails.

The battleship tilted slightly, crashing into the sea of clouds like a giant whale entering the water. In the next moment, the three battleships had already passed through the clouds, pulling the clouds out of a long arc.

What unfolds in front of you is the boundless land.

The mountains are covered with snow, the clear water flows through the mountains, and among the dense trees, wild beasts slowly look up.

In the distance, a huge black plain appeared on the horizon. In the middle of the plain is a black, high volcano. Even at this distance, you can still see the hot air rising from the crater. On the edge of the volcano, there are countless saucer-shaped landmasses suspended in the shape of a lot. The closer you get to the crater, the more pumice there is. Between the pumice stones, there are countless black shadows like bee swarms coming and going.

As the three warships slowly moved forward, slowly, countless gray-black buildings were revealed on the pumice.

Not just on the pumice, but also on the ground. The reason why the plain is black is not because it is black in the first place, but because the dozens of miles around the volcano are covered with black buildings!

Countless figures weave through the dotted streets.

Leaning against the porthole and supporting her cheeks, the Halloween Princess Nuan Nuan in the cabin was obviously shocked by this scene.

Looking up again, she suddenly saw that countless ships were already floating around the fleet. The "swarm" I just saw in the distance turned out to be suspended ships......

Unlike the battleships of Ryugu. The ones in front of him are rough and simple, and the only decoration is the totem of the demon clan with teeth and claws. If you want to say that it is not as good-looking as the Dragon Palace, if you want to say that it is mighty, it is not as good as the Dragon Palace, but ...... That's the amount, but it's so much that it makes people's scalp tingle......

For a long time, the dazzled Princess of Halloween could only hold back three words: "It's amazing......"

"Is it more powerful than our East China Sea Dragon Palace?" a gentle female voice came.

Turning around, Princess Wansheng looked at Ao Tingxin, who was sitting in front of the dresser in a long blue dress.

This is a woman like water, with a picturesque face, every move is full of gentle and bright atmosphere, and the exquisite and impeccable clothing has an indescribable extravagance.

The two maids on the side were carefully grooming her.

Pouted, Nuan Nuan sighed softly: "Sister Listen to Xin, this is different." Dragon Palace, it's expensive, it's good-looking, it's ......"

"Atmosphere?"

"Yes, yes, atmosphere!" Nuan Nuan nodded hurriedly, but was puzzled again, and said, "But, I don't quite understand, why are they all black?

Ao Tingxin gently took a sip of rouge paper and said, "Do you know Mo Yu?"

"Mo Yu? Nuan Nuan shook her head.

"Mo Yu is the palace of the Demon Emperor Jun. The entire palace is black. The upward and downward effects, therefore, the demon capital, are all black. ”

"It turns out that the Demon Emperor likes black. ”

"It's not really, it's not a matter of time to make it clear. ”

"Will we meet the Demon Emperor Jun this time? I heard that he is one of the most beautiful men in the Three Realms. I can't wait. With that, the Princess of All Saints was already happy.

Looking at Nuan Nuan, who was secretly happy, Ao Tingxin smiled helplessly: "It turns out that you are clamoring to come with me because you want to see the Demon Emperor." Didn't you say you should learn to do business so that you could share the burden for your father?"

"You can take care of business and beautiful men. Nuan Nuan pouted and said, "If I really don't have the talent to do business, then recruit a son-in-law who can do business for my father!"

"Yes, yes, you're right. Ao Tingxin covered his lips and laughed, "Come and help me with my thrush." ”

As he spoke, Ao Tingxin had already picked up the eyebrow pencil.

"Okay!" Nuan Nuan happily walked behind Ao Tingxin and took the eyebrow pencil: "Sister Tingxin, will we really meet Dijun?"

"It should ...... I can't see it. Dijun hasn't been in the dynasty for a hundred years, and I haven't seen him. ”

"Then why are you dressed so well?"

"When we go out, we represent the majesty of the dragons. No matter who we see, we want to be beautiful. Got it?"

"Oh...... I see. Nuan Nuan replied with some disappointment.

In the sunlight, the flagship leaned gently towards a protruding platform on the volcanic cliffs. The platform was already full of people waiting...... Or rather, youkai.

The hatch opened, the trestle was lowered, and soon, dozens of crab generals in thick armor poured onto the platform, and the line formed in the middle of the road.

The golden shield is engraved with the totem of the dragon clan.

It wasn't until the queue was over, the red carpet was rolled down from the cabin, and Ao Tingxin's figure appeared at the hatch. The blue gold-inlaid court skirt dragged the floor, and the hair ornaments combed high were dignified and solemn. Closely behind him was Nuan Nuan in a long orange dress.

Seeing the huge tree man ten feet tall in the group of demons that greeted her, Nuan Nuan was slightly startled.

"That's ......"

"Dryad. There are six clans in the demon country, and the wood clan is one of them. There are not many people, but they generally do heavy work, and they are an indispensable group. Sometimes we in the Dragon Palace have to turn to them for help. ”

As he spoke, Ao Tingxin had already stepped on the trestle and walked along the carpet towards the platform step by step.

A woman from the group of demons who greeted her came out.

She was dressed in emerald green, and her face was as quiet as a fairy.

Raising her hands to her eyebrows, the woman saluted Ao Tingxin, and said loudly: "Minister, Confucius Si Li Qingyu, I came to greet the four princesses on the order of my emperor!"

Walking in front of Qing Yu step by step, Ao Tingxin replied respectfully, and said, "Sister Qing Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Seeing this, Nuan Nuan also hurriedly followed Ao Tingxin to salute together.

Glancing at Nuan Nuan, Qing Yu asked softly, "This is ......?"

"This is my cousin, Princess of All Saints. Sister Qingyu called her Nuan Nuan. ”

"Bibotan Dragon Palace Halloween Princess?"

"Exactly. Nuan Nuan hurriedly responded. As he spoke, he saluted again.

"Excuse me. Qing Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said, "Tingxin and I are also old acquaintances, her cousin is my cousin, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"Sister Xie Qingyu. "Another blessing, Nuan Nuan is up. Quite flattered, that gaze kept going back and forth between Ao Tingxin and Qing Yu.

For the dragon clan, the demon kingdom is a behemoth. In addition to the supreme demon emperor Jun, the demon kingdom also has the six demon kings who control the military power and the prime minister Duomu Monster and the five divisions who control all administrative hubs. And the Confucius Division in front of him, Qing Yu, is one of the five divisions.

Nuan Nuan never dreamed that he would be one of the five divisions in charge, and his attitude towards Ao Tingxin was so intimate.

After a brief greeting, the three of them walked into the elevator surrounded by many monsters.

Under the control of the giant treeman on the side, the elevator entered the tunnel and began to descend slowly.

And it wasn't until this time that Nuan Nuan discovered one thing.

"Sister Tingxin, what about our other two ships?"

"Unloading, of course. We're here to pay tribute, so why don't we bring the gifts back?"

"I see. By the way, Sister Tingxin, what is our gift?"

"Silverclaw. ”

"Silver Claw?" Nuan Nuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Isn't Silver Claw the currency of the Demon Kingdom? Can we send it?"

Hearing this, Qing Yu on the side covered his lips and smiled.

Ao Tingxin glanced at Nuan Nuan and said lightly: "Pure gold is the currency of the heavenly court, and silver claw is the currency of the demon country, that's right." However, whether it is pure gold or silver claw, it is a currency that circulates with a guarantee of credit. You can do as much as you want, but if you do that, prices will skyrocket. In the end, it is your own credit that is hurt, and the slightest carelessness may lead to the collapse of the entire country. So ......"

At this point, Ao Tingxin glanced at Qing Yu on the side with a smile on his face, and said, "How could their multi-eyed prime minister accept that the silver claw representing his credit was held by my Dragon Palace in large quantities? ”

"On behalf of credit?" Nuan Nuan was confused.

Seeing this, Ao Tingxin then explained: "If you want to do business, you must first understand what 'money' is. Actually, it's also a business. My Dragon Palace is a small business, and what I pay attention to is only to buy and sell, which is beneficial. There are six clans in the demon country, tens of millions of demons, all over the place, the situation is extremely complicated, and the whole body is affected, doing big business, and what is important is regulation and control. The multi-eyed prime minister is a good hand at doing this big business. ”

Nuan Nuan still doesn't understand.

Qing Yu covered her lips and smiled, holding her warm hand and said, "Don't listen to her." What do you instill in a girl's family, do you have to teach people to be as utilitarian as you?"

"The dignified Confucius Si Li told me not to be utilitarian, is it appropriate?" Ao Tingxin said with a smile.

Suddenly, Nuan Nuan thought of another question and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qingyu, ...... you?"

"Peacock spirit. Qing Yu replied lightly.

In the blink of an eye, the elevator had gone straight underground.

When the door opened, Nuan Nuan couldn't help but gasp.

"It's ......"

What unfolded in front of her eyes was a huge space.

How huge it is? Nuan Nuan can't tell. It can be said that it is already another world.

It's a red world.

The red lava surged down the surrounding rock walls, turning into rivers and eventually merging into a red lake in the middle of the bottom of the vast space. Everything in this vast underground space is reflected in red.

On the edge of the lake, there are dense, eerie-looking black, demonic buildings.

In fact, not only on the edge of the lake, but also on the plain at the bottom of the entire space, except for the lava lake in the middle, all the places are covered with black buildings, and like the surface, various streets are crisscrossed. Even the surrounding rock walls are covered with tunnels and half-overhung buildings.

At this moment, everyone's position is in the middle of the rock wall hundreds of feet high. Stepping out of the elevator, there is a long suspended stone bridge pulled by countless iron chains. At the end of the stone bridge, there is a huge beehive.

Connected to the hive were countless stone bridges in all directions, so much so that the chains that held the stone bridges in place looked like cobwebs on top of the vast space.

Here, it is the core part of the demon kingdom of the Three Realms.

"Please. Qing Yu stretched out his hand.

Ao Tingxin nodded silently and took a step.

Along the way, Nuan Nuan was already so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Looking down from the stone bridge, the youkai that weave through the streets look like grains of sand. Even if he doesn't move, you don't know it's a youkai standing there.

"How many youkai live here?"

"Six million. ”

"How much manpower and material resources do you have to spend on such a big city? Did you dig it out of thin air?"

"I don't know how much manpower and material resources it takes, but I do know that it took 10,000 years to build this place. ”

"10,000 Years ......"

Nuan Nuan didn't know what to say, but Qing Yu was proud.

The demon capital is the pride of the demon race, and it represents the civilization of the demon race. And the demon emperor Jun who founded it is the god of the demon clan.

In a short time, the group had already crossed the long stone bridge and entered the huge beehive.

When looking at it from a distance, every hole in the hive is only the size of a pea, however, when she got closer, Nuan Nuan knew that every exit here was fifteen zhang high and ten zhang wide. Even the giant treants just seen on the platform can easily pass through.

"This is ......"

"The Demon's Lair. Qing Yu replied with a smile: "At first, we didn't have a name yet, and the people of Heavenly Court shouted like this. Later, it was simply called the Demon Nest. The demon's lair, quite appropriate. ”

"Demon Nest, Demon Nest ......" lowered her head and recited Nuan Nuan silently a few times.

The fire on the iron frame creaked and burned, illuminating the passage red, illuminating the faces of the hideous demons on the reliefs on the rock walls on both sides.

"This is the history of demons. ”

"10,000 Years of Historical ......"

Qing Yu said it lightly, but Nuan Nuan was stunned.

My father is only a thousand years old, and she feels that it has been a long, long time, 10,000 years, how long should that be?

How much can happen in 10,000 years?

Nuan Nuan couldn't tell, but judging from the pictures on the stone wall she walked through, the history of the demon was bloody, much thicker than she imagined at the beginning.

Soon, they came to a huge iron gate, stopped, and saw three large characters on the huge plaque.

"Ten Thousand Demon Palace?"

"The Demon Clan's Council Chamber. There are six clans of demons, and different ethnic groups have different demands, and various opinions are varied. In order to maintain the unity of the demon clan, the demon emperor Jun set up an elders' council, which was composed of representatives of various clans. It is the highest authority of the demon race. The six demon kings, the five rulers, and the multi-eyed prime ministers that we often say, although they are all powerful demons, they still need to be responsible for the demon emperor Jun and the elders. ”

"What's the matter, it turns out that in the eyes of Sister Tingxin, Qing Yu is a powerful demon?" Qing Yu chuckled.

"Isn't it?"

"Really?"

Between the questions and answers, both of them laughed.

Nuan Nuan, who was standing on the side, suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

Taking a deep breath, Ao Tingxin crossed his hands around his waist and straightened his waist to face the closed door with a solemn expression.

The gaze was like water.

Seeing this, Nuan Nuan also hurriedly learned from her.

"I invite the fourth princess of Long, Ao Tingxin to meet ——!"

"I invite the fourth princess of Long, Ao Tingxin to meet ——!"

A shout came from afar, and after several relays, until it was close at hand, the door slammed open.

A beam of light shone through the crack in the door on Ao Tingxin's jade-like face. Yes, light, natural light, not firelight. They bring natural light hundreds of feet deep underground, just to illuminate it.

A blinding light struck, and the surroundings turned white. Nuan Nuan was a little dizzy, and Ao Tingxin lowered her eyebrows slightly, standing motionless, maintaining the appearance she should have as a dragon princess.

When the door was fully opened, Nuan Nuan gradually adapted to the bright light in front of her. What you see head-on is ...... A long walkway, a huge cylindrical space.

The light of the dome shimmered down, casting a shimmering cloak over everything.

It is surrounded by cascading steps, and countless youkai sit densely on the steps.

Some have completely transformed into human form, some still retain their original characteristics, and there are three huge tree man elders who are more than ten zhang tall and sit directly on the seat, just like the three big trees directly planted in the temple, and some are short, only the size of a palm of Nuan Nuan. The costumes and skin colors are even more varied, as if people from different countries from all sides of the Three Realms have been brought together.

At the end of the aisle, on the top of the steps, was a throne more than ten feet high—that was the seat of the emperor. At the moment, it is empty.

To the right of it, there is a row of six empty thrones. That's where the demon kings are. On the left, there are also six seats, but the difference is that all but one of the six seats is empty, and the other five are occupied.

Sitting closest to the throne was an emaciated old man in a black robe with an indifferent expression. The eyebrows and beard were like the tentacles of an insect that covered the joints.

At this moment, he was tilting his head and looking at Ao Tingxin coldly.

This...... is probably the head of the demon clan, and the prime minister is strange.

Nuan Nuan couldn't help but bow her head slightly and swallowed dryly.

"Fourth princess, please. Qing Yu rolled up his sleeves and made a simple gesture.

Ao Tingxin nodded respectfully and stepped into the aisle. The skirt, which was more than two feet long, was carried by two maids behind her.

Nuan Nuan hurriedly followed with small steps.

The center of the main hall is hollowed out, leaving only the aisle in the center. Standing in the aisle, you can clearly see the lava lake directly below the suspended temple through the iron bar, and even the entire underground city, and even the youkai walking on the street.

Looking down on sentient beings, that's probably how it feels......

Walking down that aisle, Nuan Nuan almost felt suffocated.

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Hall was silent, however, everyone was looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Through the corner of her eye, Nuan Nuan saw a lion spirit wearing heavy armor and fluffy yellow hair picking her teeth casually, a snake demon dressed plainly, covered in scales and wrapped in a turban swallowing her tongue from time to time, and a deer spirit wearing a robe bowed to write something with two big horns, and from time to time raised her eyes to look at Ao Tingxin.

Nuan Nuan really felt like she was going to suffocate, and every step she took was carefully.

Finally, he finally walked to the middle, Ao Tingxin stopped, and Nuan Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Raising his hands to his eyebrows, Ao Tingxin said loudly: "The daughter of Ao Guang in the East China Sea, the dragon girl Ao Tingxin was ordered by her father to come to meet the Demon Emperor. May the Demon Emperor be happy forever!"

Then he fell to his knees and bowed deeply. The rest of the entourage, including Nuan Nuan, also knelt down.
