"Dragon Elder, based on my initial assessment, this should be a powerful individual from another realm."
"What powerful individual? Let me see."
The golden-haired monkey was extremely curious and immediately came closer to get a better look.
To his surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, the golden-haired monkey's eyes widened considerably.
His mouth gaped open like a dustpan.
"You know him?" Bai Feng looked at the golden-haired monkey with a strange expression.
He secretly wondered, as a mere demon king, how could the golden-haired monkey possibly know a human?
"You... I... Lord Dragon God..." The golden-haired monkey pointed at himself, then at himself again, and finally looked at Ao Yuan.
He appeared to be at a loss for words.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, the golden-haired monkey spoke with a peculiar expression, "I do."
"And not only do I know him, but they do too."
"?"
As the golden-haired monkey spoke, Elder Long looked surprised.
He hadn't expected the golden-haired monkey to know this person, let alone for all the demon kings to know him.
However, the various demon kings on the other hand, all wore confused expressions.
"That's not right, how could we possibly know a human cultivator?"
"Golden-haired monkey, you're not joking, are you? I don't remember knowing any human cultivators at all."
"Right, human cultivators??"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I possibly know a human cultivator."
...
When several demon kings spoke with conviction, it was Bai Feng and Elder Long's turn to be confused.
At this point, they truly couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
How could the golden-haired monkey say they knew him, while everyone else said they didn't?
"What? You don't know him? How about we make a bet?" The golden-haired monkey instinctively wanted to shout, but then he smiled with narrowed eyes.
Upon hearing this, the demon kings exchanged glances.
However, not a single one chose to bet with the golden-haired monkey.
Even their previously firm expressions became somewhat hesitant.
Could it be...
They had truly forgotten?
They really did know that so-called human cultivator?
After pondering for a long time, the demon kings were once again bewildered.
This time, they meticulously searched their memories, but still found no recollection of any human cultivator.
Perhaps there was, but none who matched the golden-haired monkey's claim that they all knew him.
"What are you all guessing about?" Dai Xiaomei chuckled and said, "Why don't we go and see who it is?"
Saying this, Dai Xiaomei took the phone from Bai Feng and looked at it.
With just one glance, her expression turned peculiar.
At the same time, she subconsciously looked at Ao Yuan.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ao Yuan rubbed his nose, full of suspicion.
"Lord Dragon Envoy, who is it?"
"Lord Dragon Envoy, do we really know this cultivator?"
"Lord Dragon Envoy, is the golden-haired monkey telling the truth?"
...
Seeing Dai Xiaomei's expression, the surrounding demon kings started chattering.
They might not have believed the golden-haired monkey, but if even Dai Xiaomei was like this, they were truly puzzled.
"You'll know when you see it yourselves."
Dai Xiaomei sighed softly and then directly tossed the phone to them.
Seeing this, the demon kings stopped talking and all stretched their necks like giraffes, looking up.
Soon!
When the many demon kings clearly saw the figure in the video, a commotion erupted.
"So it's her."
"No wonder I thought I knew a human cultivator."
"Golden-haired monkey, you really tricked us just now."
"When did I trick you? I only said you knew them, not that they were human cultivators."
"And you all didn't dare to bet with me, so what's there to say?"
"You, you, you! Golden-haired monkey!"
"What do you mean by that? Do you want to spar in the arena?"
"Sure, let's spar, who's afraid of whom!"
...
"Stop arguing."
Ao Yuan frowned.
His words were effective. Although the demon kings still glared at the golden-haired monkey, they all calmed down.
Seeing that the atmosphere had quieted down, Ao Yuan turned a questioning gaze to Dai Xiaomei.
Looking at the behavior of the various demon beasts, even Ao Yuan was a little curious about who the cultivator causing trouble in Great Xia was.
"That person is Bai Ling," Dai Xiaomei said, rolling her eyes at Ao Yuan.
"Bai Ling!"
Ao Yuan repeated the name and subconsciously glanced to his side, "Isn't she always with me?"
Where was Bai Ling?
Ao Yuan remembered clearly that he had gone out with Bai Ling.
How could he have returned and Bai Ling was nowhere to be seen?
Hiss...
Recalling, Ao Yuan suddenly realized.
He had seemed to have gone to find the Eight-Headed Serpent by himself after sensing its aura.
It seemed that it was perhaps at that time that he had left Bai Ling behind.
"Cough cough..."
Looking up, Ao Yuan saw everyone looking at him, and even he felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed dryly and said to Elder Long, "This was an accident."
"Um... please inform them, stop the arrest and let her return to the Demon Court."
"She's from the Demon Court?" Bai Feng asked.
Ao Yuan nodded slightly, admitting it.
"Alright, I'll inform them now."
Bai Feng said and picked up the phone to call back.
A moment later, Bai Feng hung up the phone and replied, "Uh... they already know, they've stopped the arrest and have arranged for Bai Ling to return."
He paused and added, "They've arranged the fastest flight so she can return immediately."
"That's good." Ao Yuan rubbed his nose.
He had to admit, if Elder Long hadn't mentioned it, he would have truly forgotten about Bai Ling.
"Come, Elder Long, Bai Feng, since you're here, let's have a drink," Ao Yuan then invited.
Elder Long and Bai Feng had no reason to refuse Ao Yuan's invitation.
About an hour later.
As everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves,
A wail suddenly erupted from outside the Demon Court.
"Dragon... Lord Dragon God, *sob sob*."
"I've suffered so much, Lord Dragon God, *sob sob*."
Hearing the sound, the beasts looked over and saw a figure rushing towards them.
But as she got closer, the demon beasts were suddenly stunned.
They even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
The woman was covered in dirt, her once-white clothes now unrecognizable.
Her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in tears.
The demon beasts found it impossible to connect the person before them with the one who was always introduced as Ao Yuan's direct disciple.
"Lord Dragon God, *sob sob*..."
The figure ran over and, disregarding everyone, burst into tears, clinging to Ao Yuan.
No one knew what she had been through.
In the beginning, after Ao Yuan left, Bai Ling had lived a very carefree life.
But as her money ran out, it was over.
Everything was over.
