LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 32 — Request Zhao Lijian.

The day after Heilong received the Decree from Demon King Zhao, Zhao Lijian suddenly came to visit Heilong.

From his gait, Heilong could guess if Zhao Lijian's arrival this time was related to his departure to the Demon Birth Star.

“What senior has suddenly come to see me, does senior need my help?” Heilong opened the conversation while drinking a cup of tea.

It just so happened that the current conditions inside the Pengeran Palace were quiet and there were only the two of them. The servants who usually served inside this palace were all while busy preparing Heilong supplies that would be brought to the Devil's Birth Star.

“Don't call me senior again. Now your status is much higher than me who is just a normal Klan member. Just call me Lijian only,” said Lijian look embarrassed.

Previously he did not know Heilong's true status so he did not care much when Heilong called out with the senior designation. But now everything is different.

Since the announcement of Heilong's status as the Clan Prince Zhao then the difference in status between the two was how heaven and earth were. Lijian did not want to get in trouble if one day there was a Palace warrior who heard when Heilong called him senior.

“Alright, brother Lijian.” Heilong said as he lifted his tea cup toast.

Lijian shook her head and became annoyed. He could no longer bear to curse Heilong. “Don't call me brother. Do you not understand at all what our current status is different? I can get into trouble if any soldier hears when you call me brother or senior.”

“Is like that talking to a Prince?” reprimanding Heilong relaxed while drinking a cup of tea that he had delayed.

“I'm sorry, Rapport. I was just kidding. Please don't report me to Demon King Zhao.” Lijian immediately kowtowed for mercy in front of Heilong after realizing that her words just now were too harsh.

“Haha .. I was just kidding. Wake up! I won't report something as trivial as this to Demon King Zhao.” said Heilong who immediately made Lijian feel calm.

“Thanks, Rapport.” Lijian immediately stood up and sat back down to accompany Heilong to tea.

After drinking a few cups of tea and the situation became relaxed again, Lijian finally ventured to express the intention of his arrival to this place. “Actually my arrival here was to ask the Prince for help to take me away to the Devil's Birth Star.”

“What do you want to do there?” Heilong saw a golden opportunity to search for information about the Devil's Birth Star. He felt that this Demon Birth Star had an important role in the survival of the Devil Nation.

“Currently the cultivation level I have is experiencing a bottleneck. It is possible that I could gain enlightenment and break through my cultivation bottleneck if meditating near the Dark Origin Tree and the Demon Birth Lake that is in the Demon Birth Star,” Lijian replied without hiding anything.

Heilong had heard of the Dark Origin Tree and the Demon Birth Lake from the Divine Beasts.

Especially the Demon Birth Lake which was the source of the pure-blooded Devils. Heilong had actually long wanted to search for the existence of this Demon Birth Lake and then destroy it to stop the growing population of Devils uncontrollably. And now, he finally chose the opportunity.

'Maybe this 'is what is named if heaven has eyes and will always give way to a clean intention, ' Heilong thought inwardly.

“Thank you very much, Piercer.” Lijian was unable to cover up her happiness and immediately drank the tea on the table until it ran out.

“Then you must immediately prepare supplies to meet your cultivation needs while in the Demon Birth Star. You may leave my Palace to prepare supplies and come again here when the ship that will take us to the Devil's Birth Star has arrived.”

Lijian immediately obeyed Heilong's words and immediately left this place. He did have a lot of items that he had to prepare before going to the Demon Birth Star. Actually, he himself was not sure if Heilong would fulfill his request so easily because he had not had time to pack when he would go to meet Heilong.

“Truly a determined man. If only he were not a demon then I would definitely make him one of my confidants.” Heilong stared at Lijian's back as he left this room.

The Demon King Zhao Palace.

Demon King Zhao was sitting leisurely on top of the throne while observing every inch of the realm of power using the secret technique he possessed.

“Report, Your Honor.” Prime Matter suddenly faced and shocked Demon King Zhao.

“What are you suddenly coming to see me. Is there anything important and should you report it to me immediately?” the look on Demon King Zhao's face looked displeased as his leisure time was suddenly interrupted.

“I'm sorry, Your Honor. Prince Zhao Heilong just sent me a letter that he wanted to take someone on his departure to the Demon Birth Star.” Prime Minister Ji reported in a slightly frightened tone as he realized that he had just ruined the mood of Demon King Zhao.

“Oh, who is the devil that he will bring?” Demon King Zhao became curious because in these few days he had never allowed Heilong to leave the Roaring Palace. Then who is this Devil who has a special affinity with his son?

“He is Zhao Lijian. Servant did not know how Prince Zhao Heilong could have a friendship with Zhao Lijian. However, in the letter Prince Zhao Heilong said that he wanted to help Zhao Lijian break through his cultivation bottleneck.”

Prime Minister Ji then handed over a letter written by Heilong to Demon King Zhao to prove that he was not lying.

“Zhao Lijian is actually one of the best cultivators we have in the current generation. Too bad he had to experience cultivation bottlenecks for hundreds of years until he was abandoned by his juniors.”

Demon King Zhao recalled the times when he ordered one of the Zhao Clan Elders to teach Lijian specifically when he learned that Lijian had a special advantage in cultivating the Dark Qi. However, who could guess if Lijian's cultivation development didn't match what he expected.

“Good. I allowed Zhao Lijian to go to the Demon Birth Star and accompany Prince Zhao Heilong while he was there.”

This decision that Demon King Zhao had just made was very clear that he also wanted Lijian to stay in the Demon Birth Star and develop her cultivation.
