Xiao Yan's joy fell in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and even the eight elders couldn't help but secretly envy them. Even if they were a few, it would be difficult for them to receive such special care from their ancestors.
"I came here in a hurry this time, so I only had time to prepare a few small gifts, and please ask brother Xiao Yan not to dislike them." The demon emperor flashed the ring in his hand, and the hall of Xiao Mansion was immediately filled with a mountain of gifts.
Brilliant gold, shining silver, radiant jewelry, soft pearls, precious ancient calligraphy and paintings, piles of things of different materials reflect each other, focusing everyone's attention on the center of the hall.
"The Demon King is indeed generous, the rumors are true." But Xiao Yan's eyes only stayed for a moment, and then he took it back calmly. To be honest, these gold jewels really couldn't catch Xiao Yan's eyes.
"This boy has a good character and is the best choice." Seeing Xiao Yan's indifferent expression, the Demon King's evaluation of Xiao Yan was a little higher. Although he knew that Xiao Yan was worth a lot, he could face this.
The piles of jewelry are so indifferent, which is enough to judge a person's character.
"I know that Brother Xiao Yan has monopolized the market of low-end recovery elixirs. How can such a property be so valuable?" Everything seemed to be expected. The Demon King continued, "This is just a meeting gift from my Demon Clan. Xiao Yan
Brother Xiao Yan's new power will be useful if we, the demon clan, can help us. As long as we, the demon clan, can do our best, we will try our best to meet brother Xiao Yan's requirements."
"Trying to be satisfied? Give me that Qinglin." Xiao Yan almost blurted out in excitement. His eyes swept over Qinglin, and his original plan to rip off Qinglin seemed to be touched by something.
Xiao Yan sighed slightly in his heart, clasped his fists and responded: "Xiao Mou understands the Demon Emperor's wishes, and Xiao Mou does not want to trade with the return of the Saint."
It's not that Xiao Yan forgot about asking for the demon core, nor is it that Xiao Yan is very generous. It's just that with Qinglin's relationship, Xiao Yan thought about it again and again, and decided to focus on establishing a good relationship with the demon clan. After all, the demon clan
Cores can be acquired slowly with funds, but the relationship between the Monster Clan cannot be settled in a day or two. This is the best time to increase the goodwill of all the Monster Clan's senior leaders. This is much more important than the gifts from the Monster Clan.
Xiao Yan didn't want to let it go.
Le Shaolong and others on both sides heard this and sighed inwardly, but they were completely aware of Xiao Yan's thoughts and appreciated it very much.
Qing Lin's heart was filled with emotion. Xiao Yan gave up his request for the demon clan's property. She understood that it was to pave the way for the two of them in the future, which made Qing Lin feel that everything was worth it.
The Demon King and the eight elders were all stunned. Obviously, they did not expect that Xiao Yan would have no demands. However, looking at Xiao Yan's very sincere and unpretentious demeanor, and nodding frequently, he suddenly felt that this Xiao Yan should not be underestimated and was worth making friends with.
The Demon Emperor even hoped for a moment that Xiao Yan was the one who had a relationship with the Saint. Apart from his current weak strength and unstable foundation, Xiao Yan's potential and personality were deeply liked by the Demon Emperor.

The whole place fell into silence, but the silence did not last long before it was broken by the Demon King's crisp applause.
"No wonder the Demon Emperor calls you brother and sister, no wonder Zhen Ni follows you wholeheartedly, no wonder the power of the Xiao Mansion can rise rapidly in a short period of time, I understand it completely today." The Demon Emperor said with a smile, stroking his palms, "Brother Xiao Yan, what a person you are.
I have won everything for you, and I greatly appreciate it. I hope to maintain a friendly relationship with you in the future. From today on, you will be the guest of my demon clan."
"Thanks to the Demon King's wrong love, Xiao is very grateful." Seeing that the goal he expected in his heart has been achieved, Xiao Yan showed a comfortable smile.
"However." Just when everyone was happy for Xiao Yan, the Demon King changed the topic and his tone became serious, "I, the Demon Clan, must give a gift of thanks to brother Xiao Yan for returning the Saint."
"Why is the Demon King so open-minded?" Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan wants my demon tribe to have the reputation of not repaying kindness and be ridiculed by thousands of people?" Xiao Yan's pushback made the Demon Emperor's face gradually turn cold.
But Le Shaolong and others saw hope, and saw the hope of extortion that had been arranged before. It was rare that the Demon Emperor was so insistent, and everyone was praying that Xiao Yan would agree quickly.
But Xiao Yan slowly shook his head again, which made everyone pour cold water on them. They all secretly blamed Xiao Yan for being speechless at times. But everyone ignored one thing. It was precisely because of Xiao Yan's true feelings.
Stubbornness wins everyone's friendship and loyalty.
Everyone could only place their last hope on the Demon Emperor and wait for the Demon Emperor's reaction.
"Young Master Xiao's continuous refusal will inevitably make the always generous Monster Clan a little angry." Xiao Zhan muttered in his heart, a little worried that the favor Xiao Yan had just gained from the Monster Clan would be greatly reduced.
But the development of things once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
"If Brother Xiao Yan insists on refusing to accept the wishes of the demon clan..." The demon emperor, who had slowly stopped smiling, was slightly stunned by Xiao Yan's stubbornness, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, is the Demon Emperor's pride stimulated? This smile is abnormal." Xiao Zhan was completely confused and didn't know what kind of medicine the Demon Emperor was selling in his gourd.
"Brother Xiao Yan's insistence should naturally be respected by me, but the demon clan cannot bear the reputation of not repaying kindness. What should we do about this?" The demon emperor pretended to be deep in thought, but his smile became even thicker. Xiao
Yan couldn't guess what the Demon Emperor was thinking, and felt a little numb.
Chapter 93 Nothing is missing (3)
The Demon Emperor seemed to have come up with a way and continued, "How about this? I have a way to get the best of both worlds. What do you think, brother Xiao Yan?"
"?" A big question mark hung in Xiao Yan's mind. This time, even shrewd people like Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong couldn't figure out the Demon Emperor's thoughts. The eight elders of the Demon Clan were also confused.
"Then let the Saint live in Xiao Mansion for the time being."
The Demon King's words shocked the entire audience.
"Is there such a good thing?" Xiao Yan was overjoyed and then became confused, always feeling that there was something fishy in it.
Qing Haoran, Le Shaolong, and Zhen Ni suddenly raised their heads after hearing this, staring at the Demon King who seemed to have everything under control, wanting to know his true intentions.
Because of their simple thinking, Xiao Zhan and the others were immediately confused. Their brains went blank and they were dumbfounded.
Qing Lin, on the other hand, was filled with joy. At this moment, the Demon Emperor in his eyes was simply the best person in the world.
"Demon Emperor..." The eight elders obviously did not expect that the Demon Emperor would make such a decision. They all spoke together, with deep confusion in their eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the Demon King stopped the eight elders from continuing to speak, and said, "However, the Saint is too important to our Demon Clan, so we definitely cannot leave all the guards here to Brother Xiao Yan. In this way
, the Holy Temple Guards mobilized two hundred elites, and each of the eight elders mobilized three hundred elites from their respective affiliations. There are only more than two thousand people, I believe brother Xiao Yan doesn’t mind temporarily staying in the mansion to protect the saint? Of course, all expenses are borne by me.
The demon clan pays.”
What the Demon King said seemed reasonable, but Xiao Yan's forehead was already covered with black lines.
If the demon clan really sends more than 2,000 people to the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao Mansion will have no secrets at all, and it will definitely arouse fierce reactions from the human and demon clans. By then, the surroundings of the Xiao Mansion will definitely be filled with people and demons.
If the three clans gather and friction intensifies, the Xiao Mansion may become a battlefield for the three clans to fight at any time. The no-fighting rule in Juxi City does not have much binding force on the giants of the three clans. In other words,
The power that Xiao Yan has worked so hard to develop may be destroyed at any time.
At this moment, everyone understood the Demon Emperor's plan. The eight elders of the Demon Clan stepped back with smiles and said no more, while Qing Haoran and others smiled bitterly.
"There is still a small problem that may make Brother Xiao Yan a little embarrassed." The Demon King pretended to sigh helplessly, but his smile grew stronger in his heart. "Everyone knows that the heavy responsibility shouldered by the Saint is related to the entire world."
The future of the demon clan, so I have a merciless request here."
"Any more requests?" Xiao Yan's head was as big as a bucket at this time, and he had not yet figured out the relationship. He did not expect that the Demon Emperor had a next plan.
Zhen Ni, Le Shaolong and Qing Haoran raised their heads curiously and looked at the Demon Emperor, wanting to hear how the Demon Emperor arranged Xiao Yan.
"It is no longer a secret that the Holy Girl can awaken the power of the bloodline of the Demon Clan. Brothers Xiao Yan already know it through Xiao Zhan. Therefore, it can be said that everyone in the Monster Clan is waiting for the Grace of the Saint."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"But since the saint has settled in Xiao Mansion, they can only come to Xiao Mansion to receive grace. Don't worry, we will definitely arrange in batches to receive the baptism of the saint according to the situation of Xiao Mansion." The Demon Emperor continued to explain patiently.
