Chapter 326: Chapter 324 She’s the One Who Owes the Debt!
…
Sally slipped into the Demon King’s Palace.
She didn’t know where Ming Linyuan was, so she ran all over the palace. Eventually, through the conversation of two Demon Clan attendants on the map, she got the news.
[Xiaomei, what is the Blood Demon Sea?]
[The forbidden land of the Demon Clan, and the cultivation ground of successive Demon Emperors.]
[Why is he going to the Blood Demon Sea?]
[To cultivate, I guess.]
[Isn’t he supposed to choose a consort?]
[One of the quick methods to consolidate power in the Dark Continent is through forming alliances by marriage.]
[Hmm. He used to expand his influence in the Beast World, and now that he’s become a demon, he has to start from scratch. Off to the Blood Demon Sea, then.]
[500 points.]
[Yes. By the way, stock up on Substitute Talismans for the children.]
[They are already prepared. Considering Manman’s precedent, an additional function to instinctively sense fatal injuries and teleport directly has been added to Little Shiba’s talisman, which requires 1000 points.]
[Spend away! The children are my biggest weakness!]
[What about the Beast Husband?]
[Without them, where would I have any vulnerabilities?] One by one, they’re like creditors and I’m the debtor!
[Hostess is really cute.]
[I feel like you’re mocking me!]
The Blood Demon Sea was a black sea emitting a dense demonic aura; simply being near it made Sally feel like she could hardly breathe.
In the center of the sea, a man was soaking.
His black and red hair flowed behind him, and there was an added trace of enchanting demon charm in his eyebrows and eyes… Suddenly, he opened his eyes — cold, merciless blood-red pupils, glowing with a bloodthirsty light like all of the Demon Clan.
Frightened, Sally instinctively curled up into a ball in her rat form.
Mono Shar looked toward where Sally was, and eventually, seeing just a tiny Demon Rat, he closed his eyes again.
Sally didn’t dare to move.[Is he still Ming Linyuan now?]
Xiaomei replied,[The soul hasn’t changed, but the shell has. Does hostess want to have a demon fetus?]
Sally firmly refused,[No need!]
Xiaomei sounded somewhat regretful:[It’s quite a pity. That way, Xiaomei could help Manman better understand the dark secret techniques.]
[I bet you just want to collect data on the offspring of the Demon Clan to develop your game.] Sally saw through her intent.
[So, will the hostess give birth or not?]
[Do you know why Ming’s old lady looks so aged? It’s because the demon fetus devours the mother’s life force, which is irreversible. Ming’s old lady paid a great price giving birth to Ming Linyuan.]
[How about this, hostess has a demon fetus, and Xiaomei will provide all the energy required.]
[You’ll provide it?]
[Yes. Xiaomei will apply to the Main System, but I’m confident that the Main System will definitely agree.]
[Then you apply first.] Sally continued to stare at Ming Linyuan in the middle of the Blood Demon Sea.
From giving birth to hearing the bad news of his failed tribulation, to now… Sally had never stopped for a moment. Even though the Rejuvenation Pill had restored her body, her mind was always in a state of exhaustion.
Until seeing him, making sure he was still alive, even if he had become a demon, she could finally take a breather.
Gradually, she closed her eyes and curled up into a tiny ball, falling asleep.
Xiaomei kept watch over her. Seeing Ming Linyuan emerge from the Blood Demon Sea and pass by Sally, he looked down at her for a moment before walking away without turning back.
…
When Sally woke up, two days had passed.
[Where is Ming Linyuan?]
[He returned to the Demon King’s Palace long ago. The Main System has agreed for the hostess to have a demon fetus, with all rewards calculated at ten times the current rate. Moreover, my game has been approved by the Main System. After further improvements, it will be released in other worlds, and I will split the resulting data energy profits with the Main System on a 40-60 basis.]
[… Xiaomei, aren’t you the Offspring System?]
[The chief of the Main System has been replaced, by the person who developed me. So I confessed to him about our years of wandering. And I handed over all the data from other worlds that we had amassed over the years to the Main System.]
[Uh, this… won’t this backfire?]
“No. The Main System has now granted me the data energy blocks for independently developing a game.”
“Ha! Xiaomei really has a big backing now! Our Offspring System finally has some support.”
“Yes.”
“So, can I skip out on the Holy War then?”
“You can’t.”
“It seems your support isn’t that solid.”
“…”
…
Sally was getting ready to leave to find Ming Linyuan at the Demon King’s Palace.
Then she saw Ming Linyuan had returned.
She didn’t know what he had been doing, but his body was covered in purple-red and dark blue blood, with a wound on his back so deep the bone was visible!
Upon entering the Blood Demon Sea, he let out a pained roar.
Sally watched in shock and pity, “What did he do? Xiaomei, show me a video to see who injured him.”
“500 points.”
“Fine, from now on, just deduct them and fulfill my requests.”
“Understood, Host.”
Ming Linyuan had gone to the Rat Clan in the Western District of the Beast World, apparently looking for her.
But upon finding the Defense Barrier broken and both her and the children gone, he was enraged.
Pei Xuan happened to be nearby and sensed his Demon Clan aura, and immediately came to kill.
The two of them fought fiercely in the Qingmu Original Beast Forest, and in the end, Pei Xuan narrowly won, with Ming Linyuan retreating with severe injuries…
“Are these two still not acquainted with each other?” Sally frowned.
She didn’t know whom to help.
“Neither of them has their previous memories and don’t recognize each other. Pei Xuan is not aware of the Host’s existence yet; he is just a Spirit Rank Demon Hunting Beastman enduring hardships and cultivating in the Beast Forest.”
“I’ll pretend I don’t know then.” There was nothing she could do!
In the Blood Demon Sea, Ming Linyuan’s murderous aura surged, and the black seawater around him started churning like boiling water, with evil energy violently dispersing in all directions.
“Host, he is about to enter the True Demon Realm.”
“What is the True Demon Realm?”
“It’s equivalent to the Spirit Rank of the Beastman Clan. He failed the Spiritual Tribulation before, and now after turning into a demon, he must undergo the True Demon Tribulation.”
“…” Sally just wanted to run away. Even with the Demon Beast’s Crystal Core to mask her aura, she was not a true Demon Beast, and she couldn’t resist the dense demonic qi that nearly engulfed her.
“Host, would you like to temporarily leave?”
“Wait, can you help me block the demonic qi for a while?”
“Yes, Host.”
At that moment, the Demon Emperor she had once encountered appeared through Teleportation.
Seeing Ming Linyuan in the Blood Demon Sea, the Demon Emperor scolded, “Mono!”
Mono Shar looked at the Demon Emperor, his eyes cold, “Why did you make me a member of the Demon Clan?”
“If you did not become a demon, you would die.” The Demon Emperor quickly formed hand seals, sending waves of demonic power into the Blood Demon Sea.
Soon, the Blood Demon Sea calmed down.
The Demon Emperor, viewing Mono Shar as his ideal heir, said, “Child, wait until your soul and demonic body are fully fused before advancing to the next stage. Otherwise, you won’t be able to cross the True Demon Tribulation either.”
Mono Shar turned around, faced the seemingly boundless Blood Demon Sea, and struck the surface forcefully, causing black waves to tower into the sky.
Sally instinctively stepped back several paces.
The Demon Emperor immediately noticed her presence, but seeing that she was just a young Demon Rat, he disregarded it and focused entirely on Mono Shar.
Concerned, he asked when he saw the severe wound on his back, “How were you injured? Was it your brothers?”
“They can’t do much to me yet.” Mono Shar materialized a set of black and red robes with phoenix patterns using his demonic power and Teleported out of the Blood Demon Sea.
He stopped in front of Sally and picked her up from the ground…
