Keyboard Immortal

“Tell him that my throat was injured in the fight against that world’s natives.” Zu An reacted quickly.

Suolun Shi nodded and quickly said that to Adiljan.

Adiljan was shocked and quickly grabbed Zu An while shouting worriedly.

Suolun Shi helped him translate and said, “He's expressing his care and concern for you.”

Zu An could already tell what was happening from the fawning expression on Adiljan's face, so he flung the latter's hand away with an expression of annoyance.

When he sensed the young master’s impatience, Adiljan didn’t dare to ask too much more. He said with an apologetic smile, “Young master, this subordinate will bring you back to get some rest.”

Zu An voiced his agreement and gestured for him to lead the way. Along the way, Adiljan continued to chatter away in order to curry favor with him. Even though Zu An was worried that he would end up showing some gaps in his behavior, this made it easier to obtain a lot of information. As such, he gestured for Suolun Shi to continue speaking.

“Young master, everyone has been wishing on the stars and the moon for your return,” Adiljan said exaggeratedly.

“Oh? Why is that?”

“Tell me the truth!”

“Heheh, everyone is waiting for the feast that the young master brought back, and the ki stones you always provide. Of course, this humble one definitely misses the young master.” Adiljan patted his chest to express his loyalty.

“Oh? Were those ki stones enough?” Suolun Shi was gradually getting used to speaking in Zu An’s place.

“There are places to use ki stones everywhere. We have to maintain this underground city’s formations, which constantly use up a tremendous amount of ki stones. How could it be enough?” Adiljan replied with a bitter expression.

“Is it only our race that is providing these ki stones?” Suolun Shi added on her own. She was the saintess from another world, after all, so her momentary curiosity was understandable.

Sure enough, Adiljan didn’t suspect anything. On the contrary, he admired the young master for having such strong control over these saintessess from a different world, to the point that they already believed this world belonged to the True Demon race. “Of course not, but our True Demon race is one of the most powerful races, so of course we need to bear the greatest responsibility.”

“Oh? Then which other races are there?” Suolun Shi used the chance to ask.

“Also…” Adiljan was about to speak when his expression suddenly dimmed. “Actually, all of them are just things of the past. There might not even be such a thing as a True Demon race in the future.”

“Why?” Suolun Shi asked curiously. She was pretty, and the way she directed the conversation was practically an art form. Who could refuse the gentle questions of an ignorant but curious pretty woman?

Adiljan gave Zu An a careful look, but didn’t see any signs of displeasure. He then explained, “Destruction is already approaching. The Monster Lord brought everyone here to build this underground city because the outside world has already been destroyed. There is a deficiency of all sorts of resources and goods, so the Monster Lord has placed this underground city under martial law. All goods will be allocated by him alone.”

When he heard that, Zu An’s expression became a bit strange. He hadn’t expected the monsters to actually be so poverty-stricken. No wonder they all seemed to have gone completely mad for their conquest of cultivation worlds. He really wanted to ask if the clans had any resentment regarding these allocations, but he knew there would be doubts about his identity if he asked about something like that. As such, he suppressed his curiosity for the time being. At the same time, he started to think about finding a way out of this situation. It was fine for Suolun Shi to act as the intermediary for now, but if he couldn't think of a permanent solution, it would quickly lead to problems.

Adiljan also asked about the other women through Suolun Shi. Why did there seem to be a few more people than expected?

Suolun Shi explained their identities. When she reached Jiang Luofu, Adiljan was immediately overwhelmed with respect.

As expected of the young master! This woman really is top-quality!

Her face is beautiful, her chest big, her waist thin, and her legs long. More importantly, those black silk stockings give off an alluring glow. Just how incredible would it feel to be squeezed between those two legs?

The cold and elegant feeling Jiang Luofu naturally gave off, mixed with the unwillingness to fall into the status of a female slave, created a really incredible combination.

The young master really is eating good!

The True Demon race was the one that most resembled humans in the Monster World, which was why their aesthetics of beauty were aligned.

When she saw Adiljan sizing her up, Jiang Luofu secretly asked Suolun Shi, “What is he asking?”

Suolun Shi endured her urge to smile. “He is praising your beauty.”

Jiang Luofu harrumphed and naturally didn’t believe her. Even though she didn’t understand the other party’s language, she could see the disrespectful look in his eyes. If this were in another place and situation, she would have already gouged out his eyes.

Adiljan’s gaze then moved over to Ji Xiaoxi. When he saw her obedient and cute appearance, his respect for the young master rushed relentlessly like a raging river.

Just how did he find beauties of so many different styles?

I hope that once the young master grows tired of playing with them, he can give me a bit of the soup to sip on too.

Soon after, he brought the group to a mountain peak that was clearly the True Demon race’s territory. This place didn’t have any distinct buildings; rather, there were cave dwellings carved out of the mountainside, with mist swirling around them. Even though the peaks seemed fairly cramped, the environment was still far better than the distant underground city. Judging from that, it was easy to see that the True Demon race’s status in the Monster World was indeed extraordinary.

Suolun Shi’s face turned a bit red. She said with a bashful expression, “The young master wants us to stay with him.”

That was also Zu An’s intention. This Monster World was full of dangers. If they were too far from him, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do anything if something happened to them.

Adiljan had a knowing smile as he said, “But of course. This humble one understands.” Then, he brought the group to a dwelling higher up and explained, “This is the young master’s dwelling. There are many rooms next to it that should be enough for the ladies to live in for now. As for further arrangements, those will be decided after the council of elders. Please rest for now, and I will inform the elders to wait until tomorrow to meet the young master.”

Zu An nodded to express his understanding. He was curious what those elders wanted from him, but he didn’t continue to ask about it.

Suolun Shi used the chance to say, “Can you find some kind of language book or jade strip? My sisters don’t understand the language here, and they still need to serve the Demon Deity and the young master, so continuing like this isn’t too convenient.”

Zu An secretly gave her a thumbs up. This woman was smart after all.

Adiljan was a bit stunned, but he quickly nodded and said, “Of course we have them. This servant will quickly look for them.”

“Thank you.” Suolun Shi’s smile immediately made Adiljan feel amazing.

Zu An arrived in front of the cave dwelling and sensed a defensive formation there. He knew it was designed to function similarly to the door of a private room, to guard against other people entering. He calmly took out a jade pendant and let the formation sense it; the door then opened. Zu An thus brought the women into the room as Adiljan bade all of them goodbye.

When he left that mountain peak, however, Adiljan turned around to look in Zu An’s direction. His fawning smile disappeared.

This young master is a bit strange; it’s best if I inform the council of elders.

…

Meanwhile, inside the cave dwelling, the women all looked around disapprovingly. “What kind of young master is this True Demon Emissary? His living environment really is a bit unsightly.”

They were all wealthy and respectable people at the top of the world. Even though they didn’t really care about such things, they normally lived in places that were far better than this. The residence was basically just a rock cave, with the tables and chairs all sculpted out of stone. It was simple and crude, far from the environments they stayed in. The only thing they were grateful for was that it could still be considered clean. There were other rooms here, enough for each of them to have one.

“I was really scared quite badly just now. I couldn't understand anything the monster was talking about. I thought we gave ourselves away.” Ji Xiaoxi patted her chest, a look of lingering fear on her face.

“It’s all thanks to the princess, or else we really wouldn’t have had any solutions.” Pei Mianman looked at Suolun Shi with a gratified smile.

“I didn’t expect the language to be so similar to the Demon race’s.” Suolun Shi was a bit bashful, but she was happy inside. She had finally managed to show her worth in front of all of these incredible women.

“Thank goodness that Adiljan is just a bootlicker. Otherwise, we would’ve easily exposed ourselves.” After experiencing the previous series of dangers, Yun Yuqing felt more at ease.

Zu An shook his head slightly. “That guy is already suspicious of us.”
