Shi Xiaobai immediately suppressed the questions in his heart and turned to look at everyone. He said, "This King plans on heading into the Infernal domain. If there is nothing pressing for you, why don't you accompany This King and enter the Infernal domain?"
Since he was now the king of the Infernal domain, it would not be a problem for him to invite the people beside him as guests.
With Shi Xiaobai saying this, Liu Yu's eyes immediately lit up. He said, "Great. This Penniless Priest happens to have such thoughts. To be honest, the goal This Penniless Priest had for coming to the Infernal domain was to attempt if he could secretly enter the Infernal Library in the Infernal domain. It's said that there are all sorts of valuable secret manuals stored in there!"
Shi Xiaobai immediately grinned and said, "Everything in the Infernal domain is This King's."
Feng Yuanlin hurried said as well. "I, I want to see the Infernal King's arsenal, can I?"
Shi Xiaobai said with a nod, "No problem. You can take any weapon."
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at the others.
Pulp Farmer nodded his head to indicate that he did not mind. He did not make any demands.
Sunless and Shi Xiaobai looked each other in the eye, before Sunless whispered the words, "Sword manual."
Shi Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
The silver-haired girl lifted her writing board as well. It read, "Then I'll join in the fun and see if there're any delicious delicacies in the Infernal domain."
With that, the people present agreed to head into the Infernal domain with Shi Xiaobai.
The Infernal Queen, who was standing afar, was stunned when she heard this.
Why did she suddenly have an ominous feeling?
...
Three minutes later, Shi Xiaobai and company entered the Infernal domain. The poor Infernal domain still did not know that it had just ushered in a group of 'bandits' that entered in broad daylight.

Chapter387 Because you want to be Speechless Li
In front of the stone door to the Celestial domain.
"Waiting for me?"
Speechless' eyebrow pricked up.
Mu Yuesheng nodded and said, "I never had a chance to thank you for what happened when I was little. Brother Speechless, thank you for standing forward to plead for me."
Speechless faltered for a moment. Some faded but never forgotten memories began to surface as he realized which matter Mu Yuesheng was referring to. Immediately, he said with a wry smile, "Why is there a need to thank a meaningless request? I was too young at the time. They heard what I said, but they completely ignored it. It was like they were listening to an unruly kid's tantrum. Sorry, I didn't managed to help you, not one bit."
Mu Yuesheng shook her head and seriously said, "How could it be meaningless? Back then, my parents faced it in silence. The elders that always loved me also remained silent. Only you stood up. In my saddest and most despairing moment, you warmed up my nearly frozen heart. As for whether it served any purpose, how can I blame it on you? Offspring who fail to make the mark are driven out of the country, sent to collateral relatives. The rules of the Mu family have always been ruthless. The only thing to be blamed is my low Mind Expanse, and how I awakened my superpowers too late."
"It's all bullshit rules!"
Speechless said with a sneer, "So what if your Mind Expanse is low? A bunch of idiots who only know to talk about talent. Over the past hundred years of the Mu family, how many of their descendants have been able to reach the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower? As for you, just because of a meaningless test you took at the age of three, you were unreasonably driven out of the family because of 'failing to meet the mark'! Geniuses are not born, nor are they fated! What bullshit rules. This Emperor will abolish them sooner or later!"
Mu Yuesheng smiled slightly and said gently, "You will abolish them, and you definitely will be able to do so. I'll look forward to that day. However, you do not need to be angry for me. In fact, their act was partially for my own good. After all, by being part of the Mu family, we are born to shoulder the responsibilities of the Mu family. We would receive all sorts of training and tests from a young age. With my Mind Expanse, it is true that I wouldn't be able to catch up with children my own age. That would only increase the suffering. I haven't only suffered once because of my low Mind Expanse for the past ten years. The reason why I could reach the seventh level is also because I got to know an impressive...friend. If I didn't receive his help, I might never have been able to come to this point."
"Oh?"
Speechless was slightly surprised as he asked, "An impressive friend?"
Mu Yuesheng nodded and said, "I'm not sure if you have met him, but I believe that both of you can definitely become friends. That's because both of you are not only the most amazing geniuses I have ever met, but the both of you are the kindest people as well."
Speechless immediately said with a chuckle, "In terms of kindness, your Brother Speechless doesn't dare to brag about it. It's only of the standard of 'checking if there is a grandma crossing the road to help, or take a seat on the public transport so that the seats can be given up if there's a pregnant lady, or willing to spend ten bucks for a cab to a police station to hand one cent found on the streets to the police'. If your friend is also of that standard, he is indeed quite amazing. However, geniuses that can be compared to me, I have never seen one up to now. I'm very curious who your friend is for you to give such an evaluation."
Mu Yuesheng was clearly amused as she could not help but laugh a few times. After a few moments, she wiped her smile from her face and said seriously, "You must have heard his name. His name is...Shi Xiaobai."
When Mu Yuesheng said the words 'Shi Xiaobai', she had subconsciously increased her tone. It was as though the name itself was filled with energy.
Speechless was left dumbfounded. After a long period of time, he said seriously, "About Shi Xiaobai, I met him not long ago. He is indeed an impressive genius. If you say that he can compare to me, that would barely count. You mentioned that we can become friends, and that is true too. But! But Little Yue, as your cousin, there is something I have to say. That Shi Xiaobai is a monster. He, he dares to eat anything, and can eat anything! Heavens, you better stay away from him. What if he loses his mind one day and eats you out of not being able to discern man from beast, what then?"
Mu Yuesheng was surprised, momentarily failing to understand what Speechless meant.
Eat her out?
After a moment, Mu Yuesheng came to a sharp awakening and immediately turned red. She said angrily, "Brother Speechless, I want to take back the words I just said. You have turned nasty and you are not upright at all. How can you say...such shameless words! Shi Xiaobai would definitely not do such a thing. He is more upright than you!"
Speechless fell silent.
How were his words shameless? Was Mu Yuesheng thinking that he was insulting Shi Xiaobai?
Speechless thought to himself.
My dear girl, you haven't seen the fellow picking up rocks and eating them like drumsticks or the way he was eating them in relish.
However, Speechless also knew that no one would believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes. He did not plan on harping on this matter. He immediately said, "Anyway, just be a little more alert! By the way, it couldn't be that you specially rode the skyward sea current into the Celestial domain and waited for me in front of the Celestial domain's stone door just to thank me, right?"
When Mu Yuesheng heard this, her agitated heart which was a result of her embarrassment gradually calmed down. Her expression turned calm again as she looked at Speechless and nodded her head seriously. She muttered, "The reason why I'm waiting here for you...is to stop you!"
Speechless was surprised as he asked, "Stop me?"
Mu Yuesheng nodded and said, "Bro
ther Speechless, I knew that you would come to the Celestial domain, and I knew you would choose to go down the same path as the Hero King. However, I know that you do not wish to do so. How can the kind and upright you be willing to instigate a war that is destined to wipe out life? You would definitely do it because you have to do it. Therefore, I want to stop you, and I have to stop you. If my hindrance can become your reason and excuse, then please do not hesitate."
When Speechless heard her, he fell into a prolonged silence.
"You can't stop me."
Speechless said with a smile, "No one can stop me. It will not become an excuse because the Li family would not accept such an excuse. You should know that as a progeny of the Li family, and as the most talented progeny in the past few millennia, my destiny has been set from the beginning. By being born from the Li family, the family that bears the same surname as the Hero King, my life has been always about becoming the second Hero King by doing my best to replicate the Hero King's legends and life."
Mu Yuesheng shook her head hastily, "No, your life belongs to you! Brother Speechless, you hate and resist those rotten rules. You once said that you admire the Hero King, but you do not want to be him, because you want to be Speechless Li. I have always remembered that sentence, and I have always used it to motivate myself. I..."
Speechless stretched out his hand to interrupt the agitated Mu Yuesheng. He said with a sigh, "Ten years is a long period of time. It can change many things."
Mu Yuesheng gaped and lowered her head in sadness. She muttered, "Do...do you really plan on instigating the war between the three realms?"
Speechless said with a chuckle, "What do you think?"
Mu Yuesheng lifted her head once again, with a look of stubbornness in her eyes. She said firmly, "If that's the case, I will stop you. I will give my everything to stop you. Yesterday's villain may become tomorrow's hero, but everyone knows that what the Hero King regrets the most is yesterday. I do not wish for you to regret this matter. Just like you came forward ten years ago to defy the Mu family's rules. This time, it's my turn to step in front of you!"
Speechless faltered in silence. The stubbornness in her eyes was identical to the one she had in her childhood. Back then, it was that stubborn look that moved him, giving him the courage to step forward.
It had been ten years but her eyes were no different. Nothing had changed.
Speechless smiled, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly took out an envelope and gently said, "Silly girl, take a look at what this is."

Chapter388 Darling, do you want to take it off yourself?
Mu Yuesheng suddenly looked up and her gaze landed on the envelope in Speechless's hand. There were two big words written on the surface of the envelope.
"Challenge Letter!?" Mu Yuesheng exclaimed.
Speechless grinned and said, "I'm willing to replicate the Hero King's legend because his legend is truly magnificent and I would not go as far as going against the family. However, it does not mean that I'm silly enough to do what the Hero King once did wrong. Is it necessary to instigate a war between the three realms in order to single-handedly challenge the three kings? There is no need for it to be so complicated. I just need to steal the Celestial Jade and leave a letter of challenge for the Celestial King. Following that, I can steal the Infernal King's Infernal Sword, and leave behind a letter of challenge. Similarly, by destroying the Transcendence Holy Tree and leaving a third letter of challenge for King Leonis, everything will be done. Although by doing so, the three kings will not be as angry as after experiencing war, they would unlikely to show mercy to the person who stole or destroyed their treasures. The effect would be the same. Silly girl, do you really think your brother is as stupid as those rotten old men?"
When Mu Yuesheng heard this, her serious expression slowly turned softer, as a smile slowly suffused across her lips.
At that moment, a commanding voice echoed in the clouds!
"Who dares to cause a din outside the Celestial domain!"
And following that, the sound of stone door to the Celestial domain opening was heard.
Speechless and Mu Yuesheng turned their heads and saw a three-meters-tall armored wolf-headed guard, who held a spear in hand, walking out slowly from the Celestial domain's stone door.
It was a guard of the Celestial domain's stone door!
Speechless turned his head sidewards and said to Mu Yuesheng, "I'll be making a move then."
After saying that, Speechless kept the letter of challenge and approached the wolf-headed guard. He said loudly, "I come from afar and have defeated all mighty figures in the world and remain undefeatable. I heard that the Celestial domain has hidden mighty figures and deliberately came to take a look. Quickly get your strongest person in the Celestial domain. A trash like you doesn't even have the right for me to stretch out a finger. Of course, if you want to try without any thoughts for your life, you can go ahead and try. If you can even touch me, I'll concede defeat."
These words were what the young and rash Hero King said when he previously came to the Celestial domain.
Back then, the wolf-headed guard angrily attacked, but the Hero King sneezed and sent him flying. Immediately after that, the divine army of the Celestial domain surged out but were no match for the Hero King. They didn't even manage to touch the Hero King, causing a stir throughout the Celestial domain.
The Hero King wreaked havoc throughout the Celestial domain and finally forced the Celestial King out. The Hero King deliberately hid his strength to tie with the Celestial King. As the saying goes, friendship grows only when you exchange blows, the Celestial King invited the Hero King as a guest, and hosted a banquet for him.
As Speechless recalled the story, his mouth curled into a smile.
He was using the Hero King's method, but he would definitely do it better than the Hero King.
Speechless slowly sucked in the air, waiting for the wolf-headed guard to angrily attack him, so that he could send him flying.
However, what happened next was something completely unexpected for Speechless and Mu Yuesheng!
They saw the wolf-headed guard stared with widened eyes, and after a momentary daze, he knelt down in panic!
The wolf-headed guard trembled and said, "Your Majesty, how would this lowly person dare to touch you, the Celestial King? How would I be able to get the mightiest person from the Celestial domain out? You, are the mightiest person of the Celestial domain! If this lowly person had done something wrong, feel free to punish me. A joke like that...is something, this lowly person cannot afford!"

Infernal domain, Infernal King's Palace
Under the Infernal Queen's lead, Shi Xiaobai and company arrived in the Infernal King's palace. Along the way, they met several Infernal devils. Most of them were ugly as expected, but there was also no lack of beautiful succubi who were palace maids. However, in front of the Infernal Queen, these succubi appeared lackluster. It was like a rice grains in front of a bright pearl.
And after entering the Infernal domain, it had confirmed Shi Xiaobai's guess. He had been designated the role of Infernal King by the assessment program. It was not only limited to the Infernal Queen, even the guards and palace maids immediately recognized him as the Infernal King. They would all bow before him when he walked past.
After arriving in the palace, Shi Xiaobai immediately got the Infernal Queen to get the succubus palace maids to take Sunless and company to wherever they wanted to go. He also informed the Infernal Queen to tell everyone in the Infernal domain that meeting Sunless and company was no different from meeting him. Whoever offended them was no different from offending the Infernal King.
The Infernal Queen could sense that Shi Xiaobai thought highly of the humans, so she did not show any signs of neglect. She instantly made the decree.
Liu Yu immediately headed
for the Infernal Library, and since Pulp Farmer had nothing to do, he followed as well. Sunless wanted to accompany Shi Xiaobai by his side, but Shi Xiaobai said that he had things to do, so she went to the Infernal Library as well, hoping to see if she could find any sword manual that was worth browsing.
Feng Yuanlin got his wish of entering the arsenal which was under heavy guard.
The silver-haired girl was brought to where banquets were hosted in the palace. Shi Xiaobai specially ordered the palace maids to get the chefs to make a feast for her.
Although it was unknown what the delicacies the Infernal domain had, it was surely not bad. It was clear along their journey through the Infernal domain that it did not resemble a dark and horrifying world. Instead, they saw several plantations, with fruit trees and vegetable crops. It looked like a paradise.
Soon, there was only Shi Xiaobai and the Infernal Queen left in the palace.
Although Shi Xiaobai wanted to taste the delicacies of the Infernal domain with the silver-haired girl, he did have something important he needed to do.
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at the Infernal Queen and softly said, "Let's go. Bring This King back to the room."
The main reason why Shi Xiaobai entered the Infernal domain was for him to figure out a matter—If the “King’s Mandate' mentioned by the Absolute Choice referred to the “Infernal King's Mandate”, what would be the Infernal King’s Mandate?
Shi Xiaobai had to be clear of the matter. And with matters regarding a mandate, there were typically clues or traces left behind in one's most private location.
For example, a notebook would be hidden in a certain place, or something was written down on a piece of paper.
And the place with all these clues was clearly the Infernal King's bedroom!
However, Shi Xiaobai did not know where the Infernal King's bedroom was, so he needed the Infernal Queen to lead the way.
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she exclaimed verbally, as her snow-white skin flushed with a red glow. She turned her head and looked at the bright sky outside the compound. She lowered her head and said, "Now?"
