Chapter 1452: You little brat, still as poor as ever?

Seeing Xu Jie gesturing wildly about something, yet utterly unable to understand, this demon waved his hand in annoyance.

Come on, I just asked casually, how did we end up with a mute?

Seeing that, Xu Jie then left without changing his expression, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this kid was indeed clever, really having been fooled by him.

I thought the matter would end here, but who would have thought that after just a few people left, when it came to Hong Zun's turn, this demon spoke again.

What are you all doing going to the Demon Realm with so many people?

It was still the same question; as soon as those words were spoken, Hong Zun's face darkened instantly; if it weren't for the bigger picture, he would have just stabbed this damn thing with a sword.

You're like a curious baby, asking about everything; once you ask, it's done, why keep staring and asking?

But faced with this demon's gaze, Hong Zun opened his mouth, then...

Bah-lah... bah-lah-bah-lah...

Huh???

Seeing the same action as Xu Jie just now, this demon frowned tightly; another mute?

A hint of suspicion had already flashed in his eyes; what's going on? I asked two people and both are mute.

Immediately his gaze turned to Qing Shi standing behind Hong Zun, and he asked.

Are you also mute?

「Ababa........... 」

Huh???

Here we go again; seeing this demon seemed to be getting suspicious, Ye Zhangqing hurried over and said.

This warrior, we were all space pirates before; due to some accidents we became mute, that's why we plan to return to the Demon Realm to earn a meal, settle down, and not want to fight anymore.

Within the demon race, they don't like to be called 'fellow Daoist' or 'senior Daoist', but rather 'warrior'.

Moreover, the demon race doesn't care about space pirates; even if a demon becomes a space pirate, other demons won't look down on them.

In any case, the demon race believes in only one thing: strength above all; if you have strength, even if you are an utterly wicked demon lord, it doesn't matter to them.

On the contrary, even if you are a great benevolent person, if you lack strength, you will be despised and looked down upon by many demons.

In short, weakness is the original sin.

After Ye Zhangqing's explanation, he also stuffed some spirit stones into this demon's hand, and took the space ring Ye Zhangqing handed over.

After probing with demonic power and discovering the number of spirit stones inside, this demon grinned, and his attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

Smiling, he looked at Ye Zhangqing and said.

Alas, you've suffered as well; I can tell you're all warriors of my demon race, true men, excellent—come aboard, the cabins have already been prepared for you.

Thank you.

At last we got past it; although we lost a few spirit stones, it's nothing, those spirit stones were all taken from that batch of space pirates earlier.

After boarding, they opened more than ten cabins in total, five people per cabin.

Ye Zhangqing naturally stayed together with Qiu Baiyi and the four girls.

After closing the cabin door, Bai Hua Xianzi patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said.

Not bad, husband; otherwise it would have been troublesome just now.

This is just the beginning; the real test won't be known until after we reach the Demon Realm.

Ye Zhangqing didn't relax at all just because they boarded successfully; after all, this is nothing, they haven't even entered the Demon Realm yet—once they get there, that will be the real test.

Be careful on the ship, don't reveal any flaws.

Don't worry, husband, we know.

After waiting about three Shíchén on the star battleship, once full, the star battleship slowly lifted off, heading toward the Demon Realm.

The environment of such a star battleship naturally cannot compare to their own star battleship.

Not to mention crowded, it's extremely chaotic, with people everywhere.

Those without spirit stones simply slept on the deck, and no one paid them any mind.

Ye Zhangqing's group, however, kept a low profile, with nothing special happening and not leaving the cabin, anyway they were just waiting to head to the Demon Realm.

From the Heiyun Realm to the Demon Realm it's not far; at the speed of the star battleship, they could get there in a few days.

For just a few days' journey, the lowest cost is five thousand top-grade spirit stones, showing this line of work really makes money.

Along the way they didn't encounter any danger; in this star field, even space pirates wouldn't dare to rob a demon race's star battleship.

After smoothly reaching the Demon Realm, Ye Zhangqing, Yun Xiantai, Xu Jie, Hong Zun and a few others curiously came onto the deck.

In the distance they looked at that black continent before them.

The Demon Realm differs from other worlds; a small patch of terrain is exposed to the world, while elsewhere is completely covered by thick black clouds.

Therefore, aside from that small area, elsewhere you simply cannot see anything.

No one knows just how vast the true Demon Realm really is.

According to Bai Xian'er, these black clouds were personally set up by the demon race's ancient ancestor, with the purpose of concealing most of the Demon Realm's area.

Moreover, the entrance to the Demon Realm is only one, and it leads directly to that small exposed area.

Even if you are a demon, without permission you cannot enter those black-cloud-shrouded areas, i. e., the so-called Demon Realm forbidden zone.

The star battleship is obviously very familiar with the rules for entering the Demon Realm, heading straight for the entrance.

And at the entrance, many demon powerhouses are inspecting the coming and going star battleships.

Also, the people on the battleship must undergo inspection.

As the star battleship gradually came to a stop, a squad of demon powerhouses boarded the ship.

They questioned and inspected each person on the battleship one by one; Ye Zhangqing and company were no exception.

However, a group of dozens were all mute, with only one person able to speak.

The team leader in charge, frowning, walked over, glanced at everyone, then looked at Ye Zhangqing and said.

"Are they all mute?"

"Yes, we were space pirates before; during an operation we accidentally inhaled the Purple Ultimate Black Mist, and that's how we ended up............"

"This excuse was prepared long ago, and this Purple Ultimate Black Mist was said by Bai Xian'er; inhaling it indeed causes muteness, which is no secret."

"But upon hearing that, the captain still looked doubtful."

"Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing quickly slipped a Space Ring to him."

"But the captain glanced at the Space Ring in his hand, confiscated it, and instead asked coldly."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Isn't this your Space Ring, Warrior?"

"Don't give me that; you guys are suspicious. Follow me for now. Once I investigate and find no issues, I will naturally let you enter the Demon Realm."

"Huh???"

"This guy wants to temporarily detain them?"

"Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's eyes flashed with a chill—you dog, are you trying to play the poor and honest act with me?"

"I offer you spirit stones and you refuse, yet you insist on playing the selfless, impartial official here?"

"This demon captain is stubborn, but this isn't the place to fight, with so many watching; if we act now, all our efforts would be wasted, so Ye Zhangqing and the others can only endure."
