Chapter 243: Bound to Meet

This world is as big as it is small. -- Ancient divine song "Bound to Meet"

After playing for a day, they returned to the residence.

A maid was already waiting at the door, saying that the fat old man had prepared a banquet to invite them.

Having stayed in this residence for a long time, Zhang Xingyu had also figured out the dietary habits of the Demon race.

Except for the Blood Demons who feed on fresh blood, the food of other Demon races is usually not much different from that of the human race.

After washing up, Zhang Xingyu followed the maid to the residence's dining room.

This dining room was very spacious.

A long table was placed in the center of the dining room, covered with a clean white tablecloth.

On both sides of the long table, wooden chairs were neatly arranged.

In the center of the long table, several candlesticks were evenly distributed.

The candles on the candlesticks were already lit, illuminating the dining room brilliantly.

The little girl Nina had arrived a step early.

Because other guests were coming, Nina had changed into a pink princess dress, with a long skirt trailing all the way to the floor.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu enter, Nina waved at him.

When Zhang Xingyu walked in front of her, Nina lifted her skirt and gently spun her body.

"Zhang Xingyu, is my dress pretty?"

"Very pretty. This is the prettiest dress I have ever seen."

"Is only the dress pretty?"

A cunning light flashed in Nina's eyes.

"Of course not, although this dress is pretty, our Princess Nina is even prettier!"

Nina laughed.

Just at this moment, the lewd voice of the fat old man Alex sounded outside the door.

The main door was pulled open from both sides by the maid.

"Boss Bai, please come in!"

Alex accompanied a human youth as they walked in.

This youth was wearing a pure white fox fur coat, a gold-inlaid white jade belt around his waist, and pointed deer-skin boots on his feet.

Looking at this attire, he was definitely a wealthy young master.

Seeing this youth, Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

Truly, life is full of unexpected meetings.

The person who arrived was none other than his classmate and good friend, Bai Xiaosheng.

This guy Bai Xiaosheng, didn't he go to be a war correspondent?

How did he also come to this Demon territory?

Seeing Zhang Xingyu, Bai Xiaosheng was also stunned for a moment.

However, he quickly regained his composure, cupped his hands at Zhang Xingyu, and said, "This friend looks a bit unfamiliar, may I ask your honorable name?"

Looking at his demeanor, it was clear he did not want to acknowledge Zhang Xingyu here.

"I am Zhang Xingyu!"

Zhang Xingyu also cupped his hands to return the salute to Bai Xiaosheng.

Seeing this, Alex grabbed both their hands and laughed, "Both of you come from the Xuantiandalu, you can communicate more later."

Bai Xiaosheng and Zhang Xingyu looked at each other and said at the same time, "That is only right."

After the meal.

Bai Xiaosheng and Zhang Xingyu had become very familiar.

Bai Xiaosheng's current identity is the Third Manager of the Azeroth Branch of the Ten Thousand Nations Commercial Alliance.

This Ten Thousand Nations Commercial Alliance is a huge commercial organization with businesses spread across the Moyu Continent and the Xuantiandalu.

Alex's firm is a partner of the Ten Thousand Nations Commercial Alliance, often providing them with some special goods.

When parting, Bai Xiaosheng handed Zhang Xingyu a token.

"Mr. Zhang, I really feel a great affinity with you. If you encounter any difficulties in the Moyu Continent, you can use this token to find the Ten Thousand Nations Commercial Alliance for help."

Bai Xiaosheng came, and soon left.

Zhang Xingyu had many doubts in his heart, but still did not ask them out loud.

Let's wait until next time to ask him, Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.

After seeing off Bai Xiaosheng, Zhang Xingyu also decided to say goodbye to Alex.

Zhang Xingyu: "Mr. Alex, thank you for saving my life. I have disturbed you for too long, and I am prepared to leave today."

Alex: "Hmm. Then how do you plan to repay me for saving your life?"

Zhang Xingyu: "I don't know what you need me to do, old sir? As long as it doesn't make me violate human morality, I will try my best to do it for you."

Alex: "Good. I actually do have a matter that requires your help."

Ospia, the Holy Mountain of the Demon Realm.

There is a holy altar on the top of this holy mountain, and raging flames burn inside the altar.

In the Demon Realm, it has been passed down since ancient times.

Whoever can obtain a wisp of the holy fire from the top of Ospia Mountain will become the next Demon God.

At the foot of the holy mountain, there is a Demon Holy City named Ospia City.

On this day, a human youth riding a magic lion arrived at the gate of Ospia City.

This youth was none other than Zhang Xingyu.

After a long journey of three months, he finally arrived at this Demon Holy City.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and he basically did not encounter any hardships or setbacks.

Occasionally, a few blind Demon clansmen would come forward to inquire, but upon seeing the black round token hanging on Zhang Xingyu's chest, they were all so scared that they knelt on the ground, trembling.

This chest token was hung around his neck by Nina when they parted, and it had a crescent moon carved on it.

By questioning a guy who didn't know any better, Zhang Xingyu finally understood why they were afraid.

It turned out that this crescent moon was the symbol of the Demon bigwig, the Dark Moon Demon King.

The Dark Moon Demon King is a legendary existence among the Demon race.

Legend has it that the Dark Moon Demon King was born in the shadow of the moon, had the cultivation of a Demon Lord at birth, became a Demon King in a thousand years, and an Great Demon King in three thousand years; he is the one among the Demon race with the most hope of becoming a Demon God.

Dark Moon Demon King?

Could it be that the little girl Nina has some connection with the Dark Moon Demon King?

The Dark Moon Demon King's daughter? The Dark Night Demon King's disciple?

But she doesn't look like it at all.

By flipping through the "Records of the Ten Thousand Demon Races," Zhang Xingyu discovered that Nina looked more like the legendary Elf race.

Ospia City, Holy Fire Hotel.

Zhang Xingyu lay in the warm bath, washing away the dust and fatigue from his body.

When he came, that old guy Alex repeatedly instructed: You must be pious when entering the holy mountain. Only by harboring a pious heart can you obtain the holy fire.

Regarding the matter of seeking the holy fire, Zhang Xingyu naturally had to treat it with piety.

Of course, his piety was merely bathing and changing clothes.

The next morning, the clamor of voices outside the window woke him from his sleep.

Pushing open the window, the fresh air rushed toward his face.

Looking into the distance, the towering holy mountain appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mist.

He went downstairs and left the hotel.

Passing through the bustling Holy Fire Street, he arrived at a market specializing in selling magic supplies.

"Come, come, high-level magic weapons on clearance sale..."

"Walk by, take a look, potions made by masters sold at a loss..."

"Walk by, don't miss out. Walk by, don't miss out..."

Zhang Xingyu smiled slightly.

This Demon market gave him a feeling of shopping in his previous life.

Walking past stall after stall, all kinds of magic items made him dazzled.

Magic bags, magic wands, magic scrolls, magic potions...

In front of a small stall, Zhang Xingyu stopped his steps.

His gaze fell on a statue of a Demon God.

This Demon God was bare-chested, tied to a rock, and several eagles were pecking at his body.

"This human... sir, this is a statue of the Demon God Prometheus. Prometheus was punished by the main god for stealing the holy fire."

Zhang Xingyu nodded.

In ancient Greek mythology, there is also the story of Prometheus stealing fire for humanity and being punished by Zeus.

How similar this Demon Realm's Prometheus is to the Prometheus in mythology.

He paid the magic stones and put away the statue.

Zhang Xingyu continued to shop.

On the stall ahead, quite a few human items appeared.

Spirit stones, spirit herbs, magic tools, flying swords, storage bags...

Zhang Xingyu discovered that human items here were surprisingly cheap.

Buy, buy, buy.

In the storage ring, magic stones were taken out one by one, and spirit items and materials were collected one by one.

Got rich, got rich.

So many spirit items and materials must be worth tens of millions of spirit stones in the Xuantiandalu.

It seems that in this Xianxia World, cross-border trade is still a highly profitable industry. ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
