Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 573: Pretending to be a tiger and eating a pig

The Demon City is a metropolis with a history of tens of thousands of years. It is nominally governed by three demon kings, but many rights of the Demon City, such as taxation, territory division, and conscription management, are directly or indirectly divided among more than a dozen demon kings.

As one of the top ten metropolises in the Demon Realm, its money flow and gross domestic product are ridiculously high. It has always been an extremely huge cake, attracting countless powerful figures. There are also many aristocratic families with profound heritage entrenched in the Demon City.

Chonglou's family was named "Nangong", and it was originally a prominent family in the Magic City. However, such a huge family declined rapidly in just one or two years, and Chonglou went from being a young master with a promising future to a poor man who was hunted by his creditors every day.

Three years ago, Chonglou was only fifteen years old when he was seriously injured. Considering the lifespan of the demons, he was still just a child, far from the age to be involved in the family business, so he didn't know much about what exactly happened in the Nangong family.

He only knew that the Nangong family was involved in a major business war that swept the entire Magic City, and ended up losing miserably. The family's high-end combat forces were all killed or injured. His parents did not explain anything to Chonglou until they died, because he was still lying in bed at that time.

It was not until Chonglou ran out of money for hospital fees and was kicked out of the hospital that he learned that his family had fallen apart and his parents had been dead for several weeks. He did not even get to see his parents' bodies before fleeing with Xuejian.

As the creditors were looking for the brother and sister everywhere, Chonglou did not dare to show his true face. In addition, his injuries had not yet recovered, so he could only do some illegal work or hard labor, and lived a hard life with Xuejian on a meager salary.

There is no no-fly order in the Demon City. In fact, there is no no-fly order in any city in the Demon Realm, because the demons who can fly in the air are all Demon Lords, big figures who can cover the sky with one hand.

Before entering the Demon City, Bai Hao used the shape-changing technique to change the appearance of Chonglou and Xuejian. What surprised Bai Hao was that even a low-level magic like shape-changing was actually a high-level secret technique in the Demon World, and only demons above the level of Heavenly Demon Envoy could perform it.

Demon City is a neutral city, and has been ruled by multiple demon kings since ancient times. Therefore, it does not have tall and strong city walls, nor does it have entry checks like the one in the Walterland continent. Chonglou easily flew in with Xuejian on his back.

Soon, the brother and sister attracted the attention of many people, because Chonglou did not fly by flapping his wings but Bai Hao used flying magic to carry him. To other demons who were unaware of the situation, this was a symbol of the original devil.

When Bai Hao learned the true value of these gold, silver, pearls and jades that were imbued with the aura of high-level priests, he directly changed the way he made money. He no longer planned to keep a low profile, as this would only bring trouble to himself.

The gold, silver, pearls and jade that Bai Hao provided to Chonglou were so valuable that they could not be sold in ordinary pawnshops, gold shops or black markets. They could only be put up for auction in large auction houses.

However, if Chonglou were to sell these priceless gold, silver, pearls and jade as a magician, he would definitely end up losing his life and wealth. Those greedy auction house owners would most likely kill Chonglou directly.

After all, killing and robbing is always the most convenient means, and there is no need to waste time on auctions. Chonglou's strength cannot protect his wealth. In the face of huge interests, rules are equivalent to nothing.

Therefore, Bai Hao planned to do the opposite and make Chonglou extremely high-profile. So he used the flying technique to take him directly into the Demon City and disguised him as an extremely powerful original demon, who came from the mortal world.

Only with such a terrifying identity can Chonglou safely possess huge wealth. This is logical and can also efficiently exchange for operational funds for the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Chonglou is now extremely nervous. Although he seems to be flying calmly and looks like a demon king with great status, he is actually just a small magician. If those big shots in the Demon City try to test him, it will be difficult for him to keep his body intact.

"Slow down your breathing, empty your eyes, and relax your body, just like taking a walk in your own yard. No matter what happens, I will protect you. Those demon kings are vulnerable in front of me. I will kill them with a wave of my hand."

After listening to Bai Hao's comfort, Chonglou felt more at ease, thinking that it was great to have someone to back him up. As an eighteen-year-old young demon, Chonglou had also fantasized about the feeling of being second to none.

He didn't think Bai Hao was talking nonsense at all. After all, he was really flying without wings now, and Bai Hao could also perform many wonderful magics that he had never heard of, and could even easily cure root bone injuries that were known as incurable diseases.

There is no doubt that his master is extremely powerful and he cannot be bragging.

But in fact, Bai Hao was just bragging, and he was bragging a lot.

If a fight really took place in the Demon Realm, Bai Hao estimated that he would have a hard time defeating even a demon envoy. After all, he did not come in his true form, and could only use Chonglou to cast light element magic. Bai Hao's magic class was merely that of a magician.

Soon, a dozen demons with flapping wings flew towards him, but they kept a low profile and behaved very respectfully. It was obvious that they were shocked by Chonglou's wingless flying.

The red-haired old man in the lead was also flying without wings, and at the same altitude as Chonglou. His magical pressure spread in all directions like waves.

Bai Hao thought to himself that this was obviously an original demon, and seeing how old his face was, Bai Hao guessed that he should be a native of the demon world.

"Is this the new Demon King? He looks a bit plain, and why can't I feel the pressure of his magic at all?"

"Yes, he looks like a weak low-level demon. It seems like I can kill him easily!"

"Every time I get close to the Demon King of my clan, I feel a suffocating and terrifying pressure. I can hardly breathe, but this Lord seems..."

The group of demon lords were talking as they flew, and most of their words were filled with doubt and contempt. Their actual feelings were seriously contrary to common sense, but Chonglou's calm appearance as he strolled in the garden made everyone dare not act rashly, even the old demon lord who was in the lead.

"You all shut up!"

The old devil shouted angrily, scaring the dozen or so demon lords below so much that they all trembled, and then all lowered their heads to show obedience. In the demon world, strength determines status, and status is everything. Money and reputation are built on this.

"What a bunch of ignorant fools. If you want to die, just keep talking nonsense. The man opposite is at least a second-order primordial demon, and is very likely an immortal demon from the mortal world. How can you take such weak magic fluctuations seriously? That man must have done it on purpose, a sign of returning to nature!"

The old demon king is named Shebil, a native of Demon City. He had the chance to break through and become a first-level original demon decades ago. Although he is only a first-level, he is enough to look down on all demons, and his achievements have surpassed most demons.

Shebil knew that his potential had been exhausted, and he would not be able to make any more breakthroughs even if he spent the rest of his life. In fact, most demon kings who had cultivated themselves step by step from low-level demons found it difficult to make any more breakthroughs, and could only reach the third level at best.

As for the higher-level original demons, only those demon kings born in the mortal world can arrive there. These foreign demon kings have another title, that is, the immortal demon god, because they are immortal.

Chonglou was so nervous that his calves even began to tremble uncontrollably. A demon king led a dozen demon lords towards him. The overwhelming pressure of magic power made Chonglou's breathing slow down for a beat. Only Xuejian on his back opened her eyes wide with curiosity, truly demonstrating the fearlessness of the ignorant to the fullest.

"Calm down," Bai Hao exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice, "Later, you will say whatever I say."

"Yes, I will obey the Lord's orders!"

The old devil saw Chonglou's calm face from afar, and subconsciously lowered his flying altitude. The expression on his face also became amiable, and he greeted him kindly before he even got close.

"Haha, Mr. Demon King, I am the first-order original demon of the Demon City, Demon King Shebil. I wonder what brings you here..."

"then."

Chonglou remained calm and just threw a bag of heavy objects at Shelby, as if he was throwing away some garbage.

Shelby caught the bag steadily, and before he opened it, he smelled an extremely strong breath of the mortal world. He immediately looked at Chonglou in shock, his expression became even more respectful, and his flying altitude dropped by several meters. He thought to himself that his guess was correct, this adult was really a demon god from the mortal world.

"Change all of it into the common currency of the demon world. I'm going to live in the demon city for a while."

After saying that, Chonglou passed by the group of demons and flew forward. However, his arrogant attitude earned him a very standard 90-degree bow from Shebil. Seeing this, the other dozen demon lords followed suit.
