Chapter 228 - Meeting The King (1/2)

Far away from the Hei Dian Sect, in one of the immortal realms, a black cloud of smoke appeared and formed the figure of a young man. He wanted to hurry up the stairs in front of him but the guards lazily glanced at him and extended their weapons to stop him.

”Let me through.”

”This is the king's palace. Not everyone can just come and go as he wants.”

Xiao Li gritted his teeth. ”I have important information for His Majesty.”

”Sure. I also have some important information. Maybe I should go and tell him?” The guard looked at the one stationed on the other side and smirked.

”I wouldn't try it if I were you. His Majesty has such a bad temper. Well, it might work if you were handsome. Hahah.”

The guard stopped smirking. ”I am handsome.”

”Sure. You're as handsome as a langur.” The two of them looked at each other.

”That … What's that supposed to mean?” The first guard frowned and gripped his weapon tighter.

The other guard and Xiao Li both gave him a measuring look. He had tanned skin and a head full of silvery-white hair. Did he really have to ask?

Xiao Li coughed. ”So, can I see His Majesty now?”

”Of course not!”, the guard snapped at him before turning to the side once more. ”What did you mean with that, huh?”

”What are you talking about? I just agreed. You're handsome. Isn't that great? And you should leave!”, he said to Xiao Li to divert the topic.

”I'm a spy from the human realm. I have to tell His Majesty what I found out.”

The guards stopped their dispute, even though the guy with the white hair didn't look happy about it. They both turned to Xiao Li. ”Did His Majesty call for you to report?”, asked the first one, his tone lazy. He really had enough of these guys trying to curry favor with His Majesty. Who would get the trouble if His Majesty felt disturbed? That was certainly him! He certainly wouldn't risk that.

”He didn't but this is about the dragons. He'll certainly want to know.” Xiao Li lowered his head. ”Why don't you just ask if he's interested in what I have to say? If he isn't, I'll leave at once. And if he is … wouldn't it also be to your advantage?”

”Hmph.” The second guard snorted. ”Do You have any idea how many people already tried to use that on us? And a lot of them were more handsome.”

The first one furrowed his brow, though. He'd think exactly the same, normally, but if this was indeed about the dragons … His Majesty would probably be interested. After all, he hated the dragon king with passion. The guard smiled at Xiao Li. ”Alright. I'll go and see what he says. Wait a bit.” He turned around and entered the palace while the other guard watched him in confusion. He couldn't help asking himself if he hadn't thought of something important and thus wasted a chance right now.

”Your Majesty.” The white-haired guard knelt down in the hall and cupped his fists.

”What is it?”

”There's a man at the gates claiming to be a spy stationed in the human realm. He said he has information regarding the dragon race. Should we let him in or …?”

”The dragon race?” The demon king furrowed his brows. Why would there be any information on them from someone in the human realm?

”Mn. He said so.”
