The Demon King was Doomed!

Seeing her silence, the Demon King assumed her reluctance and huffed lightly, saying,

"Don't think you can fool me! I've already confirmed with your Third Senior Brother that you indeed possess the ability to refine spiritual roots. Although the required heavenly and earthly treasures are numerous, as the Master of the Wanbao Pavilion, I can procure anything that exists in the mortal realm for you!"

Yan Shu: ...

Could this really be about heavenly and earthly treasures?! She finally understood why her Third Senior Brother had given him her portrait.

Most likely, because he had boasted to the point of no return, he had found an excuse involving the rarity of heavenly and earthly treasures. He hadn't anticipated that the Demon King was the Master of the Wanbao Pavilion!

When you've blown your own horn, you must see it through; her Third Senior Brother must have had no other recourse but to shift the problem onto her.
