Chapter 684: Why Not Ascend to the Heavens?

Lu Mingshu didn't go with them to see the Demon Emperor.

She didn't have a good impression of the Demon Emperor, nor did she see the necessity to meet him.

Xie Xingchen went by himself.

The island was nothing like the first time he came over.

The buildings had more than doubled, and servants hustled and bustled endlessly.

Xie Xingchen swaggered into the hall: "Old bastard, quite the grand setup, huh!"

From within the mural, the Demon Emperor's voice emerged: "Well, I have you to thank for that!"

"Whoa!" Xie Xingchen was surprised, "Are you for real? Even praising me! That's an acknowledgment of my prowess, right?"

"If you've got the skills, why would I not admit it?" the Demon Emperor said languidly, "You got it right, kiddo. Some people brought benefits right to my doorstep, so I'm not going to settle scores with you."

"Not so sure I could pull it off?" Xie Xingchen, unreserved as ever, called over a servant girl to fetch the finest Spiritual Tea and Spirit Fruits.
