Chapter 647 Set of Seals

Jiang Li continued to probe for information.

She chuckled and said, "Distant relatives are still considered members of the same clan, so why am I not considered a member of the Luan clan?"

Little Black Bear nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, the Colorful Feather Spirit Phoenix is ​​indeed related to the Azure Phoenix Clan."

The little snow wolf laughed and said, "The blood relation is not just a little distant. Does the Azure Phoenix clan even recognize you as a relative?"

Jiang Li shrugged: "Whether they acknowledge it or not, you and I are both demons from the vast demon plains. Who is more noble than whom?"

This left the little snow wolf speechless, his face turning bright red.

The Cangmang Yaoyuan is the fiefdom of newly promoted nobles, mostly powerful clans that have risen to prominence within the last century.

The Snow Wolf Clan and the Black Bear Clan were promoted to noble status because of their bravery and skill in battle, which made great contributions to Tengshe Jiukui's seizure of the Demon Emperor's throne.

These newly promoted nobles are the guardians of the Demon Realm, and most of them hold important positions in the demon army, keeping all ordinary demons and alien races who attempt to enter the forbidden area outside the Demon Realm.

They had worked hard and made great contributions, but because of their bloodline, they were looked down upon by the nobles of the upper two classes, which had long made these newly promoted nobles resentful.

Seeing that the little snow wolf was about to cry, Jiang Li took out a paper package and said, "How about I treat you to some grilled fish? It smells delicious!"

As soon as the oil paper package was opened, the aroma of the golden-brown, crispy fish filled the air, making Little Black Bear's mouth water.

He eagerly stretched out his little paws, trying to grab the grilled fish, but the little snow wolf swatted his hand away with one paw.

"The fish in this stream are poisonous! Would you still dare to eat them?"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat; the fish was indeed poisonous!

"These aren't the fish from here."

She whispered, "This was caught in the Spirit Lake over in the human realm, it tastes amazing!"

To reassure her two little ones, she took a grilled fish and began to eat it with relish.

Many members of the Rainbow Feather Spirit Phoenix clan "work" for the human race, a fact well-known in the Cangmang Demon Plains. Although they are despised by the demons, they are wealthy, and even their noble titles are bought with money!

The bird demon said the grilled fish came from the human race, and seeing that she ate it first, the two little ones were relieved.

The three little ones sat together by the stream, enjoying their grilled fish.

The crispy fish skin carried the unique smoky aroma of charcoal fire, while the fish meat inside was as tender as solidified fat. The marinade was savory and flavorful. The little snow wolf and the little black bear had their cheeks stuffed full, their minds filled with nothing but the word "delicious," and they almost swallowed their own tongues.

After finishing a grilled fish, the two little ones were still hungry, licking their paws and asking, "Is there more?"

Jiang Li spread her hands: "That's all!"

She pointed to Xie Chang'an, who was standing guard not far away, and said, "Tomorrow I'll have the guards go out and catch a lot more, and then I'll treat you all to a good meal!"

The little black bear couldn't wait: "Then I'll wait for you here again tomorrow?"

Jiang Li rolled her eyes: "How about we eat at my place? Freshly grilled fish tastes even better!"

The little snow wolf asked, "Where do you live? In the territory of the Rainbow Feather Spirit Phoenix Clan?"

Jiang Li shook her head: "I don't live in the clan's territory. My home is probably up there."

The little snow wolf and the little black bear looked shocked.

The little snow wolf was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth: "You live in the Nine Luminaries Hills?"

Jiang Li thought to herself, "It seems the second level is called 'Nine Luminaries Hills'."

She shook her head again: "No."

The little black bear jumped to its feet, its eyes wide with surprise: "Could it be the Xuantian Mountains?"

The first level was originally called "Xuantian Mountain Range".

Jiang Li scratched her head: "I don't know exactly which floor it is. I was born outside and was only recently brought back by my elders."

She clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh right, I even saw His Majesty the Demon Emperor from afar yesterday!"

The little snow wolf and the little black bear looked horrified.

The "elder" she mentioned might be a maidservant of the Demon Emperor, which is why she lives on the upper floor!

For these lowly nobles, being able to enter the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons as a maid or guard was a matter of great honor and glory for their ancestors!

The two little ones looked on with immense admiration.

"Sister, can we come to your house to play?" the little snow wolf asked nervously.

"of course!"

Jiang Li said happily, "You are the first friends I made after I came back!"

The little black bear chuckled happily: "Yes, yes, we're good friends now!"

Jiang Li made a pinky promise with them to meet by the stream the next day and then go back together to grill fish.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to their new friends, Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an left together.

Seeing how easily she had lured the two little ones away, Xie Chang'an was filled with admiration.

"Do you want to take them as your spirit pets?"

Jiang Li laughed and said, "Those two little cubs look like they can eat a lot, I can't afford to raise them! Besides, I already have Dandan, and there's also Xiao Teng and the others. I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, I can't control so many spiritual pets with cultivation."

Xie Chang'an raised an eyebrow. If they didn't want them, why did they go to such lengths to bring them home?

Jiang Li smiled slyly: "Of course I'm useful."

After leaving the Cangmang Demon Plains, Xie Chang'an summoned Taixu, and the two returned to the Dragon Palace through the void.

They meticulously drew out the terrain they had surveyed.

Outward from the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, the area is divided into three levels in a stepped manner: the Xuantian Mountain Range, the Nine Luminaries Hills, and the Vast Demon Plains. The territories of the demon nobles are distributed in concentric circles according to their bloodline and social status.

"Alright, let's draw the general terrain first. We can add details about the distribution of different tribes, specific locations, and other details later."

It was late at night when Jiang Li let out a big yawn.

Xie Chang'an said gently, "Are you tired? Go and get some rest. There's a tough battle ahead tomorrow."

Tomorrow, the Demon Emperor will send someone to propose marriage!

Jiang Li smiled slyly: "I don't have time! I still have to entertain new friends."

Let that worthless matchmaker stand outside; they can't get in anyway.

Xie Chang'an smiled and said, "Alright, leave everything to me. You can go and rest."

He wanted to reinforce the Seven Star Demon-Slaying Formation outside.

The next day, a long procession arrived with music and fanfare.

The most eye-catching thing was the luxurious Seven Treasures Carriage in the center of the procession.

That's right, the matchmaker sent by the Demon Emperor this time was still Hu Xueji, the elder of the Fox Clan.

Her procession was still very grand, even the procession delivering the betrothal gifts was extremely luxurious.

One hundred attendants, each dressed in cloud-patterned brocade robes, carried a sandalwood box. Twenty-eight strongmen carried heavy chests, while twelve fairies held flower baskets, petals fluttering and falling like rain.

Holding the Demon Emperor's Token, Hu Xueji passed through the misty Spirit Locking Maze and arrived at Jiang Li's courtyard.

A servant lifted the curtain, and Hu Xueji, with the servant's hand in hers, stepped gracefully down from the Seven Treasures Carriage with an air of superiority.

She felt utterly contemptuous.

Why is a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator being so coy? He should have just agreed to the marriage proposal earlier.

Now, we still have to wait respectfully for her to read out the Demon Emperor's decree.

The servants lined up the sandalwood boxes, and the moment the boxes were opened, the dazzling brilliance of the jewels almost blinded them.

A phoenix hairpin carved from millennia-old warm jade, a necklace strung with deep-sea spirit pearls, and a dazzling ice crystal... which one isn't a treasure of the demon race?

Hu Xueji adjusted the crimson-gold tassels hanging from her hair, her voice carrying three parts arrogance and seven parts imposing power, and proclaimed, "Where is Fairy Jiang? I have come here on the orders of the Demon Emperor to offer my betrothal!"

After a long pause, the courtyard was quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Hu Xueji's expression darkened.
