Chapter 244 Better a Short Pain Than a Long One
Upon entering the bustling city center, the number of monsters on the streets increased.
Although Shen Yu has modified some of her appearance, she is still outstanding in looks, which makes her very attractive.
The passing monsters would all glance at Shen Yu more or less.
Gou An noticed this, and could tell from the eyes of these monsters that they all had different thoughts about Shen Yu.
Some of the demons licked their lips when they saw Shen Yu, clearly finding her fair and tender appearance tempting them to eat.
Other demons also looked at Shen Yu with wicked smiles, clearly lustful.
However, Shen Yu remained calm in the face of these gazes.
It was precisely this cold and aloof aura that kept the malevolent monsters around from approaching.
Gou An turned to look at Shen Yu, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Shen, how about we find a good restaurant in the demon market first, and I'll treat you to a nice meal before we set off to see the Demon King tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu smiled and casually joked, "What, are you planning to prepare a farewell meal for me?"
"Look at what you're saying." Gou An waved his hand and laughed, "Although Wan Yao City is a gathering place for demons, it also has a few good restaurants that serve spirit banquets with a unique style. I just wanted to take you to try them."
Shen Yu gently shook his head, his tone calm: "No need, just take me to see the Demon King."
Gou An paused slightly, then asked again to confirm, "Are you sure? Shall we go now?"
Shen Yu nodded directly: "That's right, to avoid any unforeseen complications, I've already made preparations."
Seeing Shen Yu's resolute attitude, Gou An stopped trying to persuade him and could only nod in agreement.
He changed direction, no longer heading towards the bustling restaurants, but instead led Shen Yu through layers of streets, heading towards the Demon King's Mansion.
Unlike the demon soldiers at the city gate, the demon guards on duty at the entrance of the Demon King's Palace not only did not stop Gou An when they saw him, but also bowed and made way for him.
Before long, Gou An led Shen Yu to the outside of the Demon King's palace.
Gou An stopped and reported his purpose to the demon guards on duty outside the palace.
Upon hearing this, the two guards on duty immediately turned around and quickly walked into the hall to report.
Before long, a figure in white slowly walked out of the hall; it was none other than the messenger, Bai He.
Bai He glanced at Gou An, smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, then glanced indifferently at Shen Yu beside him, and said, "Hall Master Gou, please come in."
Gou An nodded in acknowledgment, and then led Shen Yu into the main hall.
The main hall was spacious and magnificent. The Demon King Huangku sat on the throne above the hall, while the chairs of the guardians on both sides were empty.
At this moment, the Demon King Huangku held a slender wisp of spiritual smoke between his fingers, the smoke rising gently.
Gou An quickly stepped forward, bowed, and reported: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your expectations and found a cultivator who is extremely similar to the person Your Majesty is looking for."
The Demon King Huang Ku slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke, looked down, and when he saw Shen Yu's face clearly, he paused slightly and slowly said, "You, come closer."
Shen Yu followed his instructions and stepped forward slowly, cupping his hands and bowing respectfully, his voice steady and polite: "This humble cultivator, Yu Daoren, greets Your Highness, Demon King."
The Demon King, Desolate and Silent, stared at Shen Yu's face for a long time without uttering a sound, before finally sighing, "So alike, so very alike."
After saying that, he turned to look at Gou An below the steps, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction: "Master Gou, you are quite efficient. In just over ten days, you have found such a similar person. I thought it would take you several months or even years."
Gou An quickly bowed: "I know that Your Majesty is very concerned about the Queen's headache, so I dare not be negligent in the slightest. After I went out, I searched everywhere without delay, doing my best to find a suitable person as soon as possible."
"Finally, after running through various cities and villages, avoiding countless human cultivators' investigations and patrols by the Xuan Guards, I finally found this person after narrowly escaping death."
"Alright." The Demon King nodded after hearing this and said slowly, "Consider it a great service. We'll reward you later."
"But there's no time to lose, let's take him with us into the green space now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King Huangku raised his hand and waved it.
The next instant, a ripple appeared in the void in the center of the hall, and a spatial gate shimmering with a faint emerald light appeared out of thin air, with a green field right in front of it.
As soon as the Demon King finished speaking, he moved and instantly stepped into the spatial gate.
Gou An no longer hesitated, turned his head and gestured for Shen Yu to follow, and led Shen Yu closely behind as they stepped into the light gate.
The light and shadows blurred for a moment, and when my vision returned, I was already in the green space.
As soon as Shen Yu stepped into this green space, his gaze instantly locked onto Princess Yun Yao, who was sitting under a tree playing the zither.
"Don't be impulsive!" Gou An reminded Shen Yu, then walked ahead towards the tree.
Shen Yu nodded and followed behind Gou An without saying a word.
The Demon King walked to Queen Yun Yao's side, gently stroked her head, and said, "The person who will treat you has arrived."
Yun Yao then stopped what she was doing and looked up ahead.
Her gaze first fell on Gou An in front of her, and then moved to Shen Yu behind her.
Upon seeing Shen Yu's face, Yun Yao frowned, then suddenly clutched her head in pain.
"What's wrong? Your headache has flared up again?" Upon seeing this, the Demon King Huang Ku quickly took out a pill refined by Gou An: "Take one quickly."
Yun Yao quickly swallowed the pill, which eased the pain on her face a little, but she still felt quite uncomfortable.
At this moment, Gou An had already arrived, and the Demon King hurriedly asked him, "What happened? Why does it look like it's hurting more this time than before?"
Gou An cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, this is an essential process to completely cure headaches. Sometimes, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one."
"Now that we've found the person, what should we do next?" Demon King Huangku held Yunyao in his arms and asked with heartache.
"It would be best to let the princess speak with him alone," Gou An said. "To completely cure the headache, we need to soothe the obsession of the symbiotic partner. Since the obsession is with this person, it is this person who needs to soothe it."
Seeing this, the Demon King released Yun Yao and beckoned to Shen Yu: "You, come here."
Shen Yu nodded and slowly walked forward.
"You two talk!" The Demon King sat down on the side, his eyes fixed on Shen Yu.
Shen Yu looked up and met Yun Yao's gaze, then cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Yun Yao's gaze swept over Shen Yu repeatedly before she finally smiled and said, "You really look like him. For a moment, I was a little dazed."
"It is my honor to treat the princess's illness," Shen Yu said again, his disguise truly resembling that of an outsider with a similar appearance.
Yun Yao reached out and pinched Shen Yu's chin, twisting his face from side to side to examine him closely. Then she asked Gou An beside her, "What should I do next? Eat him whole?"
