Chapter 347: The Demon King’s Treasury

　　“But… Only the Demon King knows where his treasury is. We would not be able to find it even if we tried.”

　　“Someone else knows where it is too!” Shen Ying replied.

　　Lonemoon stared blankly back at her. Suddenly, his eyes widened. “Yu Hong!” That’s right – others might not know but Yu Hong definitely would. Little Black was already thinking about marrying Yu Hong. There was no reason why he would have handed in the dowry as well. “I’m going to call her over here.”

　　With that, Lonemoon stood up and went to the side hall. A moment later, he dragged a sorrowful Yu Hong back into the room. Her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.

　　“Sect Master.” Yu Hong bowed respectfully. “Little Black has indeed told me where the treasury is.” She retrieved her own intrinsic dharmic artifact and pointed to a seal atop it. “He made this mark on my sword and told me that it could be used to open the treasury.” As if recalling something, the grief in her eyes intensified. “I have never tried to use it.”

　　“Yu Hong, there might be a clue as to where Little Black is in that treasury. Do you mind opening it for us?” Lonemoon asked.

　　“Little Black?” Yu Hong paused. No wonder… He really was still alive! Her expression suddenly became filled with excitement. “Yes! Of course! I will open it right now!”

　　She nodded profusely and conjured a seal. An array shot out from her sword, emanating a white glow. Yu Hong waved her sword in front of her, causing a white entrance to appear. It looked like the entrance to a mystic realm.

　　The few of them exchanged meaningful looks before they walked into the entrance. In a blink of an eye, they found themselves in a completely different realm. It was called a treasury, but it was a mini mystic realm. The only thing was…

　　Inside the mystic realm, there were only fresh flowers. More flowers were falling from the sky like rain, landing upon their heads and faces. They saw rows and rows of blooming immortal plants around them. Each flower was of a different colour and bloomed beautifully. The view was enough to fill any girl’s heart up.

　　The few of them were stunned by what they saw in front of them. They did not think that the Demon King was this kind of demon… up until they saw the little tower amidst the garden. A plaque was set up in front of the tower. On it was written big golden words – Little Hong and Little Black will be together forever. On either side of the plaque, Little Black had also stuck rows of golden words. On the left, it read “For eternity.” On the right, it read “Blessed with many descendants.”

　　Shen Ying, “…”

　　Lonemoon, “…”

　　Yi Qing: “…”

　　( ̄△̄;)

　　This was so straightforward. Little Black was about as cultured as the other demon kings throughout history. Suddenly, the group understood why while demons were obviously stronger than immortals, they never managed to takeover the immortal realm.

　　Their lack of culture was the bane of their existence!

　　Yu Hong pursed her lips. Unable to hold it in any longer, she used the sword in her hand to slice the plaque into two. She cut through the golden words stuck on either side as well and stomped on the pieces with her feet. Then, she opened the door and walked into the tower.

　　It was an ordinary tower. The inside was decorated very warmly. It looked like Little Black had put in a significant amount of effort in decorating the place, but… Everything was blindingly pink. The walls were filled with images of Yu Hong holding a sword, reading a book writing, resting, and doing every other thing under the sun.

　　What’s more, these were not ordinary images. They were created using the Shadow Preserving technique. These images looked extremely real. In each of them, Yu Hong was moving.

　　All three of them pursed their lips. How many times must Little Black have stolen peeks at Yu Hong in order to collect this many images of her? Why did they suddenly feel so much pity for Yu Hong?

　　Yu Hong’s expression was as dark as the bottom of a wok. She clenched her fists by her side and used every last bit of willpower to restrain herself from cutting up the images.

　　“Heh… Well, the real treasury should be in the rear mountain,” Lonemoon said, pointing toward the outside of the tower. He was obviously trying to distract everyone.

　　The few of them exited the tower and walked through the sea of flowers to arrive at the rear mountain.

　　A huge stone door which was situated within a brick wall stood in front of them. On top of it many different types of defensive arrays were set up. Lonemoon observed those arrays for awhile and immediately undid all of them.

　　There was a loud crash. The stone door opened up toward them. Immediately, they felt a cold aura floating out toward them from inside. It brought with it remnants of demonic Qi. Afterall, this was a treasury of a demon. They guessed that there must have been many demonic artifacts lying inside of it.

　　Lonemoon instructed Yu Hong to set up the defensive arrays once again before walking into the treasury. It was huge. There were all sorts of strange treasures stored up inside of it. Some looked extremely old and did not even look valuable.

　　The strange thing was that there were not only demonic weapons inside the treasury. There were also weapons that would have been useful to immortals. Granted, there were only a very few of the latter type of treasures and they were all set apart on the right side of the treasury. The strange thing was that these immortal weapons were placed very neatly on the right side, while the other weapons were scattered all around the treasury. There was also a protective array set up around the immortal weapons. Inside the array were things like ribbons, fans, hairpins, and accessories that only women used. It was obvious who Little Black was setting these aside for.

　　Yu Hong’s heart jumped as she lowered her gaze. She walked toward the weapons and moved to pick one of them up. She read the little words written beside the items: Kiss Madam Little Hong.

　　She tightened her grip on her sword and felt a sudden urge to destroy all of these items.

　　“I did not think you would have chased me all the way here.” They heard a familiar voice from out of nowhere. With a certain determination, the voice said, “Give it up. Those are the things I have prepared for Little Hong. I will never give you the dowry!”

　　Shen Ying, “…”

　　Lonemoon, “…”

　　Yi Qing: “…”

　　Yu Hong: “…”

　　Immediately, a sword flew toward the group of them.

　　“Little Black?” Yu Hong could not help but call out.

　　A black figure rushed out with a much faster speed than the sword did. There was a thud as the sword flew back toward the black figure. Yet, he looked like he did not even feel the impact of it. He turned around and hugged the person in front of him.

　　“Little Hong? It really is you!” The black figure clung on tightly to Yu Hong. “This is great. You’re finally here. I’ve missed you so much. I knew you would remember that I’m here.”

　　“You’re… alright?” Yu Hong asked dazedly, unable to believe that he was standing right before her.

　　“I’m alright, I’m alright. I’ve just been stuck in this mystic realm.” Little Black tightened his hold on Yu Hong. “I’m so glad that you’re here. This way, I can finally marry you. Little Hong, I really missed you…” He immediately kissed her lips.

　　The audience beside them: “…”

　　“Heh!” Lonemoon cleared his throat, interrupting the display of their romance.

　　Little Black started and finally noticed the three of them. “Eh, Little Hong, you’ve brought people into-”

　　Before he could finish, Shen Ying raised her hand out of habit and greeted, “Hey! Little Black!”

　　He trembled.

　　The next moment…

　　Both of his legs turned to jelly, and he fell to his knees.
