Thankfully, Wu Jingguo came to the demon realm with a demon with him, and that's why he managed to pass through the gates of the demon realm without a single scratch on his body. At this moment, there was no fog surrounding him and Yu Ming, and that was why he could see that he was in the middle of a dense forest now.
"What is this place? Are we in demon territory now?" Curious, Wu Jingguo asked the older man.
"Yes, we are in the demon realm now," Yu Ming replied. "If we continue down that path, we will officially enter the residence of the demons."
Yu Ming pointed his index finger at the path in front of their horse, and Wu Jingguo followed the finger's direction. It was indeed a dense forest filled with huge trees, and the trees forbade him from seeing the end of the long path. He only knew that the sun would leave the sky in no time, and if the two of them couldn't get out of the forest as fast as possible, they would have to face the darkness in the middle of the woods.
"Then, what are we waiting for? We better leave this forest right away, right? Somehow I feel unsafe in this forest. I'm afraid that some demons are eyeing us right now, but they are hiding behind the big trees instead of directly attacking us," Wu Jingguo said, and even if he sounded very serious with his words, Yu Ming suddenly chuckled after hearing his words.
"So, you're scared now, Your Highness?" Yu Ming teased the man wearing the blue robe, and even his foot moved slightly toward the man to nudge the man's calf.
The two were still on the horse's back, and the two horses were standing next to each other. Thus, it wasn't difficult for Yu Ming to tease the younger man like that.
But Wu Jingguo only snorted after receiving the ridicule. "I'm not afraid of the demons, but I'm actually afraid of the perverted demon next to me who might want to do something bad to me when we're the only ones in this forest."
Once again, Yu Ming laughed at Wu Jingguo's words, and Wu Jingguo was even worried that the demons would be able to hear the laughter.
"I didn't have such a plan before you said that to me, but I don't think your idea is bad, Your Highness. I don't sense any demons here, so maybe we can play a bit in this forest, right?" Yu Ming continued to tease the younger man, but the younger man once again snorted in annoyance.
Of course, Wu Jingguo was irritated because he had no intention of giving Yu Ming any ideas, and he quipped instead. Unfortunately, Yu Ming was still a shameless demon, and that was why his efforts were wasted when he was the one who ended up being embarrassed.
In the end, Wu Jingguo chose to ignore the pink-robed man as he continued to lead his horse to walk, but then he stopped when he heard Yu Ming speak again, "I don't think it's a good idea if you leisurely stroll through that path, Your Highness. I told you that you will see a demon settlement area soon after going through that path, right?"
Wu Jingguo chose to ignore Yu Ming because he didn't want to be teased anymore, but he ended up frowning after hearing the older man's words. It seemed that Yu Ming no longer had any intention of teasing him, and that was why he once again brought his horse closer to the fish demon.
"What are you trying to say?" Wu Jingguo asked as his horse stood in front of Yu Ming.
Yu Ming was in his serious mode, and that was why he solemnly replied, "Demons do not have good relations with both humans and werewolves, and that's why they would not welcome you into their home, Your Highness. Even if you are the mighty Prince of Wu Li, you are an enemy in the demon realm, and that's why I cannot guarantee your safety when we finally enter the demon residential area."
More or less, Wu Jingguo seemed to finally be able to understand Yu Ming's meaning, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he simply furrowed his brows before asking, "I can understand what you just said, but didn't you previously say that some people from outside the demon realm had entered the demon realm before? If werewolves or perhaps other humans from outside the demon world had entered this place, then the demons are probably used to their presence, right?"
Yu Ming had opinions, but Wu Jingguo also had his own, and that was why the two of them fell silent as they looked at each other after the younger man voiced his opinion.
"I'm not sure about that, Your Highness," finally, Yu Ming replied. "Just now I was talking about Shao Yaoting and the other werewolves of the Black Werewolf Clan, and you can surely guess that those people came to the demon realm with my father because they are my father's allies, right? My father is respected by the other demons in the demon realm, and that's why the other demons might not mind the presence of the newcomers at that time. But you know that you will come to the demons' den with me this time, right? You must know my position in the demon realm, right?"
"…" Wu Jingguo didn't answer, but it was clear that he was listening to every word Yu Ming said very carefully.
Of course, Wu Jingguo now knew Yu Ming's position in the demon realm. Previously he had even kept saying that Yu Ming was no different from any other enemy in the eyes of the demons, which was why he knew that Yu Ming's opinion was correct.
Sighing heavily, Wu Jingguo then replied, "Then, do you have a solution to that problem? How can I enter the demons' residence without the demons knowing?"
