"Look at what the Demon King said, it seems there is some misunderstanding." Xuanyuan Lang smiled, "I came here to congratulate the Demon King on the recent event."

Xuanyuan Lang said as he took out a delicate jade scroll from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table. "This is a small gift from our clan. It records some lost weapon refining techniques. I would like to share it with the Demon King."

It's actually the "Heavenly Code of Weapon Refining"? !

Li Wanji's heart moved slightly, her eyes swept across the jade slip, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This "Heavenly Code of Weapon Refining" has a total of twelve volumes. It is a supreme secret book handed down from ancient times. Each volume records the shocking method of refining weapons.

If one could obtain one or two of them, it would be enough to make the demon race's weapon refining skills advance by leaps and bounds and greatly increase their strength.

"Your Highness Xuanyuan is really generous, but I feel unworthy to accept such a valuable gift." Li Wanji was polite, but thousands of thoughts were running through her mind.

She slowly stretched out her hand and lightly touched the jade slip with her fingertips, and a lot of information instantly flooded into her mind.

Li Wanji was immediately pleasantly surprised. The talent of "spiritual wisdom" that she had just realized was indeed extraordinary. She was able to absorb all the contents of the jade slip in an instant, and in a clear and organized manner without any omission.

In this way, the physical copy of the "Heavenly Code of Weapon Refining" was no longer necessary, as its contents had been deeply engraved in her memory.

She gently pushed the jade slip back to Xuanyuan Lang, with a faint smile on her lips: "Your Highness, I appreciate your generous gift. But please take it back, so as to avoid giving others an excuse to accuse my demon clan of accepting other clan's treasures for no reason."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lang's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He gently put away the jade slip and said with a smile: "The Demon King is indeed a wise man, so I will not be polite. In fact, in addition to congratulations, I have something else to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Li Wanji's expression remained unchanged, but she was already on guard in her heart.

"It's a marriage between you and me." As soon as Xuanyuan Lang's words came out, the atmosphere in the side hall suddenly became subtle.

There was a barely perceptible coldness in Li Wanji's eyes, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face, as if she was not affected by these words.

"Marriage? Your Highness Xuanyuan, are you kidding? It's only been a few months since we made our ten-year agreement. It seems too early to talk about this now." Li Wanji responded lightly.

Xuanyuan Lang chuckled, his expression unchanged: "Things are different now. Now that the demon race has submitted to the heaven, our marriage should naturally be put on the agenda. This is not only about you and me, but also about the two races."

Li Wanji sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. "Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but right now, our demon clan still needs to be reorganized, so this matter should not be rushed."

"What the Demon King said is absolutely right. I was not thoughtful enough." Xuanyuan Lang bowed slightly to express his apology. "In that case, I will wait for good news from the Demon King. I hope it won't take too long."

After saying this, he turned around gracefully, walked lightly out of the side hall, and left behind a meaningful smile.

Li Wanji looked at Xuanyuan Lang's departing back and became alert.

She knew that Xuanyuan Lang's sudden visit and mention of marriage were by no means accidental, and there must be a deeper intention behind it.

The movements of the Heavenly Court are always unpredictable, and this marriage may be one of their chess moves to try to further control the demon race.

"How can the marriage be a bargaining chip in their hands?" Li Wanji thought to herself, her eyes gradually turning cold.

She would never let herself, or even the entire demon race, become pawns on someone else's chessboard, even in heaven.

As night falls, the Wan Yao Palace is brightly lit. Li Wanji stands alone on the high platform, staring at the distant horizon.

"King Wanji, it's late, it's time to rest." Canglanzi reminded softly, holding a cloak in his hand and slowly walked forward.

Li Wanji came back to her senses, smiled slightly, took the cloak and put it on: "Ah Heng, are you coming over tonight?"

"Wan Ji doesn't want me to come? That's really sad." Canglanzi pretended to be aggrieved, but there was a doting light in his eyes.

"How could that be? I always feel at ease with you by my side." Li Wanji chuckled. She turned around and stood side by side with Canglanzi, looking at the vast starry sky together. "It's just that the recent events have made me feel quite uneasy."

"Wan Ji, your choice is right. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Cang Lanzi comforted softly, "No matter what the Heavenly Court has planned, we will face it together. Remember, we are behind you, as well as the entire demon race."

Li Wanji turned her head and looked at Canglanzi with gentle eyes. A warm current surged in her heart, "Yes, with you here and the demon clan united, what do I have to fear?"

Canglanzi stepped forward and tied a cloak for Li Wanji, his movements gentle and meticulous. "I specially prepared a pot of soothing tea for you to help you relax. Is that okay?"

Li Wanji smiled slightly and nodded, "Ah Heng is always so considerate. It is really my great fortune to have you around."

The two men walked into the hall, and Canglanzi took out an exquisite porcelain pot and two small teacups from his sleeve and gently placed them on the table.

The aroma of tea rises and fills the entire room, bringing a sense of tranquility and warmth.

"This is a mixture of the Qingxin grass unique to my mermaid race and several other magical herbs. I hope it can relieve your worries." Canglanzi said as he poured tea into a cup and handed it to Li Wanji.

Li Wanji took the teacup, took a sip, and the aroma of tea instantly made her feel much calmer. The fatigue and worries of the past few days seemed to dissipate.

"Good tea, Ah Heng's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Li Wanji exclaimed, with a look of relaxation and joy in her eyes.

Seeing this, Canglanzi felt relieved, "As long as you like it, I will make it for you often."

The two sat opposite each other, enjoying this rare tranquility. The night was getting darker, but the Wan Yao Palace seemed particularly bright because of this warmth.

"By the way, Ah Heng, bring some paper here quickly. I'll tell you to write it down." Li Wanji suddenly remembered something and her eyes became sharp and focused.

Even though Canglanzi was a little confused, he immediately stood up, quickly took out a roll of blank demon pattern paper and an exquisite feather pen from the side, and gently placed them in front of Li Wanji.

"Wan Ji, you tell me, I will write it down word for word."

Li Wanji's mind was filled with the contents of the "Heavenly Code of Weapon Refining". She took a deep breath and began to recite:

"'Xuantian Soul Casting Method', this method can give weapons souls, multiplying their power. It requires finding the purest materials in the world, combining them with the souls of monsters, and going through 9981 steps before it can be cast."

Upon hearing this, Canglanzi's pen tip flew, and ancient and mysterious runes gradually appeared on the demon-patterned paper, recording every detail of what Li Wanji said.

"'Star Body Forging Technique', this method can use the power of the stars to forge the body, making the warrior's physique stronger and not afraid of thunder. It needs to be done on a full moon night, drawing the light of the stars and integrating it into the body forging..."
