After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"Brother Jinnian... do you know what preparations are needed to meet the Demon King?"

After a long while, when Song Jinnian's mood finally returned to normal, Gu Qingze slowly spoke with hesitation.

"Ah?" Song Jinnian pointed at himself in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. "Brother Qingze, are you asking me about the preparations needed to meet the Demon King?"

Hmm? For some reason, Song Jinnian's reaction at this moment always gave him an inexplicable and indescribable sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere not long ago.

Although Gu Qingze thought so in his heart, he still nodded very seriously.

"Well, Brother Jinnian, after all, you are from the demon clan. Lingxiao and I thought that Brother Jinnian should know more about the rules of the demon world than we do, so we came to ask you for advice."

When Song Jinnian heard this, the disbelief on his face became even more intense, and he looked at them in surprise.

"Brothers, I remember I've told you before that our Song family has been doing business for generations. Do you understand? This means that it has basically nothing to do with power or anything like that."

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. I have no idea what the demon king looks like, and my father and mother have never taught me anything. So... I am definitely powerless in this matter."

Gu Qingze frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment revealed on his face, and said:

"Brother Jinnian, do you have any other ideas? Our audience with the Demon King is of great importance. If we can't make some preparations, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Ling Xiao echoed from the side: "Yes, brother Jinnian, we really have no other way, so we come to you for advice, hoping that you can give us some pointers."

Song Jinnian shook his head helplessly, sighed deeply, and said, "My two brothers, I really have the will but not the ability."

"Wait a minute? Are you going to meet the Demon King?"

Song Jinnian finally reacted and looked at them in surprise.

Gu Qingze also remembered that they had not yet told Song Jinnian about this matter, so he explained.

"Well, this is what Senior Brother Helan thought of for us. The Xuanyin place in the demon world is too dangerous to enter. If we can get the help of the demon king, it will not be difficult for us to enter."

Song Jinnian showed sympathy when he heard this:

"Sure enough, it was a good choice for me to join the Wanjian Sect. The Qingyun Sect is too harsh. In order to complete the task assigned by the master, they actually went to such lengths and even alarmed the Demon King..."

"Brother Qingze, Brother Lingxiao, you guys are really working hard."

Looking at Song Jinnian's sincere admiration, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to react.

Song Jinnian seemed to be imagining many touching scenes in his mind. He wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at them, and said.

"Actually... I've thought of a way. If he were here, he might know something."

Gu Qingze looked confused: "Him?"

Song Jinnian did not answer, but just looked at them with a faint smile on his face.

"Come on, brothers, let's try our luck."

Try your luck?

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other, knowing that there might be a chance for a turnaround. Hopeful light rekindled in their eyes, and they quickly responded, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Jinnian."

So, the two followed Song Jinnian closely. Seeing that Song Jinnian seemed familiar with the route, they thought that he must have been here many times.

"We're here." Song Jinnian stopped at the door of a room and knocked gently.

They waited for a long time, but there was no movement from inside the door. Just when they thought there was no monster inside, the door suddenly opened.

All I saw was a young demon with his clothes casually draped over his shoulders, loose and baggy, his collarbone even faintly visible, and he was yawning.

I don’t know if he hadn’t transformed well or if he did it on purpose, but nine huge furry tails were swaying behind him and his ears were standing straight up.

"Who is it? How dare you disturb my rest?"

Song Jinnian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaofeng, I haven't seen you for a long time."

He Lanfeng looked at him and ignored his polite words. He just continued to ask, "So... who are you? Don't act like you know me very well. Do I know you?"

Song Jinnian showed an expected helpless look, and gestured with his hands, not knowing what he was gesturing at, and then pointed at himself: "It's me, Song Jinnian."

When Helan Feng heard the name, he seemed to remember something. He looked the figure in front of him up and down and said sarcastically, "The difference between your original form and your transformed form is really too big!"

Song Jinnian smiled helplessly: "Really? Helan just said the same thing to me."

He Lanfeng said seriously: "This is true, you have indeed changed a lot."

Song Jinnian stopped discussing this topic with him and asked as if reminiscing about the past: "How is it? What has Brother Xiaofeng been doing these years? Is he still relying on being kept as a mistress for a living?"

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao behind him were a little surprised when they heard it. They seemed to... have heard some incredible conversation. Could they have been assassinated because of it?

He Lanfeng retorted, "What the hell is 'support'? Song Jinnian, how come you still use the wrong word after all these years? I rely on my relatives for a living, and my family is willing to support me. What? Do you have any objections?"

It turns out that it’s not “keeping a sponsor” but “living off parents”.

Gu Qingze complained silently in his heart.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Song Jinnian pointed at Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao behind him and said, "These two brothers want to meet the Demon King. Haven't you met the Demon King alone before? So I came here to ask you for advice."

Helan Feng showed an extremely surprised expression: "An audience with the Demon King? This is a very serious matter."

Song Jinnian patted his shoulder and said, "It is precisely because I know this matter is of great importance that I came to find you."

Gu Qingze and Ling Xiao were also very tactful and quickly bowed their hands, saying sincerely: "I hope the senior can give me some pointers."

It seemed like this was the first time that Helan Feng heard someone address him as "senior". He looked at them several times with a hint of curiosity.

After a moment of silence, as if recalling something, he slowly said:

"When meeting the demon king, you must dress respectfully and observe proper etiquette. There must not be any offense."

"Most importantly, you need to be careful with your words and remain humble in your attitude."

When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly.

Song Jinnian asked again: "Brother Xiaofeng, does the demon king have any special preferences or taboos?"

He Lanfeng shook his head and said, "Don't talk about the Demon King's likes and dislikes. To be honest, what I just said is just a guess based on the rules of the Demon Palace. The Demon King's temperament is unpredictable and difficult to guess and predict."

"I went to see the Demon King because he wanted to learn the Nine-tailed Fox tribe's transformation technique, so he recruited me. It may sound a little unsettling to say it, but the few times the Demon King looked at me, it was as if he wanted to put me to death."

"Is it really that scary?" the two men and the demon asked curiously.

Helan Feng waved his hand and said, "This is just my personal feeling, you don't have to take it to heart."

"Just handle it as you see fit. The demon king... he won't kill you just because he doesn't like you. He won't. Um... just follow the basic etiquette."

When you say this, if you have the guts, don't look around and don't feel so guilty!

Also, this shouldn't happen. It sounds very uncertain.

After Helan Feng finished saying this, he was about to close the door when he felt a resistance against the door. He looked up and saw it was Song Jinnian.

"Brother Xiaofeng, I have something extremely important to discuss with you alone. Can you please let me in so we can talk alone?"

Helan Feng looked a little surprised when he heard his words. He first glanced at Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, then at Song Jinnian, then he smiled indifferently and agreed.

"Okay."

Song Jinnian turned around and asked Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao: "Can you go back alone?"

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao nodded after hearing this.

Then the door closed so quickly that they didn't even have time to react.

The two people outside the door looked at each other, feeling even more unsure, but they still encouraged each other and returned to the room where Su Han was.
