Liu Wenyuan and Xie Jianzhi left the small chamber and headed outside.
"So, what is your plan?" Xie Jianzhi asked in a low voice.
"I am but a weak, defenseless omega. We need to ask for the First Demon King's help."
Reluctance caused Xie Jianzhi to stop in his tracks.
"But he is a demon king," Xie Jianzhi said in an urgent whisper.
Liu Wenyuan shot him a sad smile.
"Unfortunately no one else will help."
"But why? Can we not approach the other palaces one by one?"
A cheerless laughter escaped Liu Wenyuan.
"Which palace do you have in mind?"
Xie Jianzhi fell silent.
He had just recently been promoted within Fuxi Palace's ranks, but he had zero interaction with other palaces -- save for Wuyang Palace of course.
"What about... Asking the Crown Prince for help?" Xie Jianzhi suggested. Fuxi Palace would be his in the future. His relationship with Xie Jianyu, the current master of Fuxi Palace, was not too bad. Or so he thought.
