Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 57

Lifting the bamboo curtain of the elegant room, Xuan Yuan Mu stepped inside.

The person accompanying her, who had been grumbling incessantly in the corridor, fell silent the moment the curtain was lifted.

Inside the room, a person sat by the window, clad in a black robe. One sleeve hung empty by their side, and they held a teacup with the remaining hand, sipping the tea slowly.

Xuan Yuan Mu and her companion entered, one after the other. The person by the window remained expressionless, calmly savoring the tea.

Behind Xuan Yuan Mu, Chen Er was so nervous that her whole body was tense. The confident speaker from before was now unable to utter a word.

After a long pause, she awkwardly said, "Lord Demon Sovereign!"

Nangong Yin lifted her eyelids and glanced at them indifferently.

The title "Demon Sovereign" was used only within the demon clan; outside the Nine Hells Demon Realm, most people were more familiar with her other name: Cang Li Demon Sovereign.

The two before her clearly had a request.

Nangong Yin, known for her unpredictable movements, found it impressive that these two managed to track her down. It showed they had some skill.

She was willing to extend a bit of patience to capable individuals.

Thus, she asked, "What is it?"

Chen Er's voice faltered as she began her introduction: "I am Chen Er, with some personal connections to Protector Lei. I dare to request Protector Lei's introduction to discuss a collaboration with you."

Xuan Yuan Mu frowned.

Before entering, Chen Er had agreed with her that, unless absolutely necessary, she would not speak. But could Chen Er really make a deal under these circumstances?

She glanced at Nangong Yin.

The most esteemed person in the demon realm remained expressionless, showing no impatience despite Chen Er's awkward tone.

She took a sip from her teacup and said, "Continue."

Chen Er's eyes brightened. Nangong Yin hadn't immediately asked them to leave, which suggested there might be potential!

Her confidence grew slightly, and she spoke up: "Have you heard of an ancient treasure called the Yantian Divine Scroll?"

Nangong Yin's hand holding the cup paused.

The Yantian Divine Scroll was a spatial treasure that could establish connections between any points in the void. If obtained, even without the Xuan Huang Key, one could still find a way into the Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

Chen Er continued, "We know the whereabouts of this item and are willing to provide this information to you."

"Information?" Nangong Yin's lips curved into a slight smirk, her lazy voice tinged with mockery. "Is it verified information or unverified information?"

Chen Er looked embarrassed. "I dare not deceive you. Even together, we cannot match the ferocious beasts guarding the entrance to the other realm. However, the other realm is exactly where the Yantian Divine Scroll is said to be lost, and the guardian beasts are skilled in spatial magic. My calculations suggest an eighty percent chance."

Eighty percent chance was just an estimate, and she dared not claim it to be absolute.

Nangong Yin lowered her eyes, without further ado, "Conditions?"
