Chapter 129.1


Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Okay, I understand, I won’t enter that room.”


Since the great demon king told him never to enter that room, wouldn’t he have to enter that room?


Shen Yuan took a deep look at Xiao Tangqiu, “Absolutely can’t go in.”


Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “I will never go in.”


After Xiao Tangqiu jumped off Ouroboros, Shen Yuan reached out and touched Ouroboros’ head and said casually, “If you’re hungry, you can go to the dining room. There’s food there.”


There’s food in the dining room? Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows. He remembered that they had just passed the dining room. At that time, there was clearly nothing in there. Also, the big demon king didn’t need to eat, right? Who made it? Who was it made for?


He hesitated for a while and finally didn’t ask. Shen Yuan gave him one last look, sat on Ouroboros, and finally left.


After Xiao Tangqiu watched the great demon king leave, he originally wanted to go directly to the “room that must not be entered”, but his stomach growled right then, and it kept rumbling… Calculating the time, he had indeed not eaten for a long time. The last time he ate, he just ate some high-calorie energy bars in an instance in a hurry.


Before the troops and horses could move, the rations and fodder must go first; a battle is imminent, so you must eat your fill first.


…So he turned and walked towards the dining room he had just passed.


The dining room in the great demon king’s Palace was quite unremarkable. There was nothing special except that it was very large. There was a long table in the middle that could seat dozens of people, but only two seats were placed at each end of the table.


Did the great demon king also need to eat? But he didn’t have any staff at all, so why set up such a long table?


But when Xiao Tangqiu approached the long table, all his doubts were solved. A variety of delicacies were placed on the originally empty table, hot dishes, cold dishes, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, made of various ingredients and cooked in various styles. There were practically hundreds of dishes on this long dining table that could accommodate dozens of people.


Could it be that the great demon king set up such a big table not to eat with his subordinates, but to eat a few more dishes? This great demon king even had a foodie setting?


Xiao Tangqiu looked at the dishes on a table and felt a little complicated. He hesitated but still picked up the tableware that was supposedly prepared for him on the table and tasted each dish.


Because there were so many dishes, he was full before he tasted half of it. Every dish tasted very good, even better than the best food he had ever eaten in reality. But then again, the food the great demon king ate must be the best in the world. If it was shoddy, people would be beheaded.


After Xiao Tangqiu was full, he didn’t hesitate to go to the “forbidden room”.


He walked along the long corridor towards the end and came across countless rooms along the way. When he passed them, he inadvertently glanced inside and was immediately stunned by the demon king’s luxurious life. Almost every room was a recreational room. Some rooms were decorated like a video game city, some were decorated like a sports field, some were decorated like a cafe, and some were decorated like a casino. There were even some rooms decorated to look like a hot spring bath.


Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but feel a little depressed. With so many different kinds of enjoyable entertainment, it was simply sinful! A certain great demon king still thought that life was long and boring?


After going through this long corridor, Xiao Tangqiu finally came to the end. There was indeed a room at the end of the corridor.


He stared at the black door of the room for a while. An Ouroboros pattern was carved on the black door. The whole door looked strange and mysterious, like a door to another world.


Even if Shen Yuan didn’t mention this door deliberately, he would definitely be attracted by the room behind this door when he passed through this corridor. This black door was too special. Just the Ouroboros pattern on the door was enough to attract his attention, not to mention that this room was the only room in the corridor with the door closed.


In a corridor where all the doors were open, the only room with the door closed would never fail to attract attention. Xiao Tangqiu looked at the black door in front of him with a probing gaze. With his keen sense of magic now, he still couldn’t sense what was so special about this door.


This room was the only room in this corridor with the door closed, which in itself was enough to make him curious, not to mention that Shen Yuan just said that he should never go in… This was obviously to swindle him to go in and take a look.


Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to step forward to open the door.


Xiao Tangqiu was mentally prepared for everything, he was prepared to see any cruel, terrifying, and eerie scenes behind this black door… But he twisted the doorknob forcefully and found that it couldn’t be opened.


Xiao Tangqiu, “…”


This was embarrassing.


He twisted a few more times before he was sure the room was locked.


It turned out that the door was locked.


Xiao Tangqiu was shocked for a while. He finally mustered up the courage to open the door only to find that the door was locked. It was no different from punching cotton! He even spent so much time mentally preparing himself!


He was in a very depressed mood. Since the door was locked, why did Shen Yuan tell him to never enter this room? If he didn’t have the key, he couldn’t get in anyways!


Could it be that the great demon king was deliberately causing mischief? Knowing that he couldn’t get in but still deliberately arousing his curiosity so that he could see but couldn’t touch?


…Wait.


Key?


Xiao Tangqiu instantly remembered the golden keys in the treasure room. He turned around and ran into the treasure room without hesitation… Regardless of whether those golden keys were real keys, try them first!


After a while, Xiao Tangqiu followed his memory and returned to the treasure room. He looked at the high pile of gold coins and the golden keys in the treasure room and couldn’t help but sighed deeply. Finding the real key in that pile of golden keys was really asking for his life!


…Then he resignedly began to search for the key.


He didn’t know how long he had been searching for, but he searched until he was faint and he still couldn’t search through all the golden keys. He could only try it with all the golden keys he could find. The result was that he tried key after key and none of them fit the black door.


It was almost dawn, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t dare to look through the keys under Shen Yuan’s nose. So he could only mix all the golden keys he had tried in one of the piles of gold coins and plan to continue to come here tonight to find the keys… If the great demon king still didn’t kill him.


He just finished hiding those golden keys when Shen Yuan’s voice rang from behind him, “It seems that you like my treasure very much.”


Xiao Tangqiu’s back stiffened and he almost thought he was exposed. He turned around slowly, trying to make his expression more natural, “Yes, I especially like gold and silver jewelry… So I slept here last night.”


Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu with a half-smile, “Oh? Is that so?”


Xiao Tangqiu tried to relax his expression, “Yes, I slept here all night yesterday.”


Shen Yuan smiled, “Then did you go to the room at the end of the corridor yesterday?”


Xiao Tangqiu’s back stiffened again, but he still bit the bullet and shook his head, “Of course not…”


Shen Yuan stared into Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes, and after a moment he smiled, “That’s good.”


Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know whether Shen Yuan really believed it or not, but if the great demon king wanted to kill him, it wasn’t like he could escape. So he could only bite the bullet and watch Shen Yuan.


“We didn’t finish touring my palace yesterday, right? I’ll continue to show you around today…” Shen Yuan seemed to really believe Xiao Tangqiu’s words and no longer mentioned the room at the end of the corridor, but changed the subject, “Let’s go have breakfast first and then continue to tour my palace.”


Xiao Tangqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief but was still a little nervous. What exactly did the demon king want to do? Why not kill him instead of showing him the palace? Could it be that the great demon king had always been extremely proud of his palace, but because he had no one to show off to, he wanted to show him around the palace and then kill him after showing off?


While struggling with this issue, he followed Shen Yuan to the dining room. At some point, yesterday’s dinner had been removed from the long table and hundreds of breakfast items had replaced it. It was also full of variety, extremely luxurious, and extremely enjoyable.


Shen Yuan took a seat at one end of the table and then had Xiao Tangqiu to sit at the other end.


Xiao Tangqiu looked at Shen Yuan across from a distance of several meters and finally couldn’t help but ask, “When are you going to kill me?”


While eating breakfast slowly, Shen Yuan casually asked Xiao Tangqiu, “Why should I kill you?”


Xiao Tangqiu choked for a while, and after a while, he said, “…Isn’t this your hobby?”


Shen Yuan smiled, “It was before.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “…What about now?”


Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu, “Now I found new entertainment.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “…?”


Shen Yuan stopped talking and continued to eat breakfast slowly.


Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, wondering if he should continue to ask. But it seemed that the great demon king should not kill him for the time being… at least not today.
