Chapter 456 - Strange Conversations (1/2)

Fu Min and Fu Heng were indeed still in the demon realm. They didn't really have a mission though since Xin Lan had already solved the issue that had led them there in the first place and Qiu Ling hadn't given them another task even though he hadn't let them return. Ah, they really were so pitiful!

Fu Min pursed his lips and stared at his cup of tea while Fu Heng sat on the other side of the table with a deadpan expression and polished his blade. His gaze wasn't really on the weapon though. Mn, he certainly didn't mind spending some time with Fu Min. Following His Majesty was really the best path he could have taken.

Fu Min finally couldn't take it any longer. He hated Fu Heng's guts but he was the only other dragon around and sitting there in silence wasn't to his liking at all. ”I heard that the demon king is having some strange conversations recently.”

”Oh.” Fu Heng nodded but failed to ask further.

Fu Min frowned. Ah, why hadn't His Majesty sent Xiang Yong with him? Or even sent Senior Xin back? He would have loved to be on a mission with Senior Xin!

As if he was able to read Fu Min's thoughts, Fu Heng halted in his movement. He observed his expression and also frowned. This guy was thinking of somebody else again! He put his blade down and poured himself a cup of tea too. He had to divert his attention somehow. ”So what's so strange about them?”

Fu Min instantly smiled smugly. ”Well … Have you heard of the demons' black crystal glass?”

”Isn't that a stone they extract?”

”Yes!” Fu Min leaned forward, his eyes glowing. ”It is. It's actually not that uncommon but it's hard to use. Only some demons of upper ranks would have things made out of this black crystal glass. Naturally, the demon king is one of them.”

”His conversations?”

”Don't be so impatient! I haven't even told you about the features of the material! You have to know that if the crystal glass is manufactured a certain way it can be used to communicate. It's quite similar to transmission stones just that it's more like looking into a mirror. Well, using the material like this is extremely wasteful. So you can imagine just how many demons will have such a thing.”

”The demon king?”

Fu Min grumbled. This wasn't fun at all! Well, at least Fu Heng didn't know about the best part yet. ”Yes! He does! And here's the strange thing: He is actually using it to communicate with someone who isn't in the immortal realms.”

Fu Heng stared at him. He didn't understand what was so special about this. His Majesty wasn't in the immortal realms either right now. How else would they reach him if not through the transmission stones? That was their use, after all.

”If what I heard is true, then that person he is talking with is a human man!”

”Addition to his harem?”

”I'm not sure.” Fu Min knitted his brows. ”Maybe we should take a closer look into this matter?”
