Chapter 621: Chapter 162: The Dragon Lord’s Envoy Has Not Yet Arrived, The Three Can Rest Assured (Please Subscribe)_3

This conjecture appeared in Cheng Guang’s heart without any reason.

Cheng Guang thought so, although there was a basis for it, since Bai Shuxuan was indeed the Saintess of the Green Hill fox clan.

But still.

Normally, when the Saintess of the Green Hill fox clan was deflowered, there would be another candidate to take over the position.

So at this moment, Cheng Guang couldn’t be certain whether the current Saintess of the Green Hill fox clan was the Bai Shuxuan he knew.

If it was the Bai Shuxuan he knew, then things would get complicated.

Bai Shuxuan, after all, had shared a fleeting night with him.

Even if there wasn’t much affection involved.

Even if, after clearing the influence of the Charm Eyes, Bai Shuxuan loathed him to the bone.

He couldn’t just sit by and watch Bai Shuxuan marry someone else.

Moreover, if Bai Shuxuan was marrying willingly, Cheng Guang wouldn’t have said anything.

It didn’t matter to whom she married.

But at this time, Bai Shuxuan was being coerced.

Those chosen by the Dragon Lord often disappeared without a trace, and nobody knew what would become of them after being selected.

It was only known that being chosen by the Dragon Lord was considered an utmost honor.

There was nothing to do but try to save her.

Unless there was really no other way.

As Cheng Guang thought this, the maiden in green in front of him also stopped in her tracks.

“Honored guests, this is the Southern Courtyard. The location of the banquet is also here. There are many Spirit Foods available here for you to enjoy at will.”

After introducing with a smile, the maiden in green led Cheng Guang and his group to this place and then slowly walked away.

The Southern Courtyard was immense, containing many smaller courtyards. Because it was located on a mountain, the winding paths were built more elaborately than in other external courtyards.

In the Eight-layered Devil Realm, the weather and temperature did not vary like in the Four Directions Mortal World with its distinct seasons; only winter and summer were particularly prominent.

Now it was the transitional period between winter and summer, the ancient trees outside were showing a slight yellow tinge, but inside the Southern Courtyard of White Emperor City’s central mansion.

Everything was lush green, teeming with life, accompanied by pale white mists that hadn’t dispersed, resembling silk washed with milk, stunningly beautiful.

As Cheng Guang walked into the Southern Courtyard, aside from the scenery, soon he noticed several exquisite tables set up within the courtyard.

Atop these tables were laid out many fine foods.

The presentation was delicate, all manner of Spirit Food was arranged neatly, manifesting a meticulousness that didn’t quite match the character of the Demon Beasts.

A few nondescript Demon Beasts, ordinary in appearance but with profound auras, were casually chatting and snacking at the tables.

“The Dragon Lord’s Envoy should be arriving soon, right?”

“Looking at the time, it should be about now. Once the Dragon Lord’s Envoy arrives, none of you better compete with me—I’m going first to give my gift.”

“Enough, the Dragon Lord hasn’t shown his face for many years, just busy producing offspring. Even if you give a gift, there’s no reward.”

“Although that’s what we say, and it’s indeed the case, it’s not like we can just not give a gift.”

“If the Dragon Lord takes offense at this and gives us trouble later on, wouldn’t that be terrible?”

The several Demon Beasts with profound auras chatted among themselves.

When Cheng Guang, a man, and a dog walked into the Southern Courtyard, all the Demon Beasts simultaneously turned their gazes towards Cheng Guang and his group.

The eyes of these Demon Beasts mostly held no malice, just surprise.

Clearly, they hadn’t expected anyone to come to their Southern Courtyard at a time when the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was about to arrive.

The group of Demon Beasts examined Cheng Guang and his companions, unable to resist giving them a few extra looks, then they realized that there wasn’t a single memory of Cheng Guang’s appearance in their minds.

Those Demon Beasts who could enter the Southern Courtyard were generally powerful, esteemed guests of the Green Hill fox clan, seated at the high tables.

They didn’t need to line up or waste time. If they wanted some of the glory of the Green Hill fox clan or to see the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, they would have come early.

How come these three who didn’t seem strong at all had only just now arrived?

The Demon Beasts assessing Cheng Guang and his party showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

A sturdy man with cow horns looked down at the purple wooden token at Cheng Guang’s waist.

His gaze shifted slightly.

Then, he burst into a hearty laugh and was the first to greet Cheng Guang.

“You’ve arrived a bit late, had the Dragon Lord’s Envoy come earlier, you three might have already missed seeing him.”

“The Dragon Lord’s Envoy hasn’t arrived yet, so you three can rest easy.”

As he spoke, the cowhorned man came forward with three plates of Spirit Food, initially handing them to Cheng Guang, then to Gu Wushuang and Black Cub.

It seemed he could tell that Cheng Guang, the most inconspicuous of the three, was the one who called the shots.

Cheng Guang, listening to the man’s words and observing his actions, couldn’t help but feel astonished.

This cowhorned man behaved almost indistinguishably from normal humans.

Despite his massive stature, his thoughts were surprisingly delicate.

Cheng Guang didn’t refuse the goodwill shown by the cowhorned man, and with a smile and a nod he accepted the offer, uttering a word of thanks.

Gu Wushuang wasn’t particularly interested in the Spirit Food here, so she didn’t accept the plate the cowhorned man passed to her.

Black Cub, on the other hand, couldn’t resist. @@novelbin@@

He jumped up eagerly, snatching away the plates of Spirit Food from the cowhorned man’s hands, even the one meant for Gu Wushuang.

Plopping down on the ground, he began to gobble it up hungrily.

This behavior, just from the looks of it, gave the impression of someone who hadn’t eaten in eight lifetimes.

The cowhorned man was taken aback by Black Cub’s actions.

It wasn’t because Black Cub ate two plates of Spirit Food at once,

The Spirit Food here was supplied by the Green Hill fox clan, it was all free of charge, so even if Black Cub ate a lot, it wouldn’t matter much to him.

He didn’t mind.

What truly shocked the cowhorned man was the speed and strength shown by Black Cub.
