Chapter 2289 The messenger wants to catch Xixi
Time passed slowly, and Yang Ming and Feng Lin did not find anything useful after that. The only different legend was the one told by the mysterious old man.
The 15th arrived as scheduled, and that day Xixi met the messenger from the temple in the palace.
The temple messengers were all dressed the same, and it was impossible to tell from their clothes whether the one who came this time was the same person as the last time. Of course, Xixi had only seen him this time.
Xixi stood respectfully below, while the temple envoy sat there high up. Although he was the Demon Emperor, Xixi's status was obviously very low.
"Are you ready for the offering?" The temple messenger didn't talk nonsense. When he arrived, he went straight to the topic and asked Xixi for the offering.
"Emissary Mingjian, the demon clan almost had civil strife before. Although it was not completely chaotic, its vitality was severely damaged. It has just been calmed down and it is temporarily impossible to produce this month's offerings." Xixi was a little nervous, but it was a fact that the offerings could not be produced.
.
After Xixi said so much, the temple messenger immediately grasped the key point of this sentence: "That means, are there any offerings?"
Xixi heard that the envoy was a little unhappy, but she could only bite the bullet and continue: "I really can't prepare this month. I guarantee there will be no problem with the offering next month."
"If you can't take it out this month, what about next month? Maybe you will continue to shirk it then." The temple messenger said in a bad tone, obviously trying to force Xixi to give out the offering.
"It's true that we can't get it out this month. That's because the clan has just been calmed down. This situation will not happen again next month."
What Xixi told was the truth, but it was obvious that the temple messenger did not want to consider this truth.
"Don't talk about this. You have never paid less than once. Did you just become the Demon King and you don't want to take our temple seriously? You obviously don't want to continue to pay the tribute. Why can't you pay it? What are you doing?
quibble."
The temple messenger was completely inhumane. Xixi's face changed slightly. It was really not that she didn't want to give it, but that she really couldn't give it.
"Please envoy to be accommodating. It is true that I cannot use it this month. It's not that I don't want to pay the tribute. It's not that I don't take the temple seriously."
Xixi's words made the temple envoy completely change his expression. He didn't care at all about what Xixi said. What he cared about was whether the offering could be taken back. If he couldn't take it back, he couldn't make the mission.
"Since you can't take it out for worship, then come back to the temple with me and explain it to the Holy One yourself."
The temple envoy said that he wanted to take Xixi away. Xixi must not be taken away by the temple envoy. The demon clan finally calmed down, and there were still many things that needed to be dealt with.
At this time, Yang Ming and Feng Lin, who had received the news of the arrival of the temple envoy, were rushing here. They were not sure when the temple envoy would arrive, so they did not stay with Xixi to wait.
The two of them simply didn't go out today and were all in the palace. Just when the temple messenger was about to catch Xi Xi, Yang Ming and Feng Lin finally arrived.
When Xixi saw Yang Ming and the others, she naturally hid behind Yang Ming and the others. Compared to the temple messengers, Yang Ming and the others were more trustworthy, so she naturally hid behind Yang Ming and the others at this time.
Yang Ming saw the movements of the temple envoys and was thankful that they arrived in time. If they had arrived a step later, Xixi might have been caught by the temple envoys.
