Chapter 332: Chapter 330: Little Shiqi Wants to Find Her Mother
Wanmo City, Demon Palace.
Flocks of black crows circled in the sky above, their cries piercing, making the already cold and dreary sky appear all the more sinister and terrifying.
“This is a completely different style from your Dawn City!” Sally murmured from within the folds of Ming Linyuan’s collar.
Ming Linyuan took a white-fur-collared cloak from his storage ring and draped it over himself, its tall collar effectively hiding Sally so well that even up close, it would be hard to distinguish her from the fur.
“A city reflects its ruler.” Ming Linyuan stroked the fur collar, inadvertently touching Sally’s back.
Sally lifted a small paw and scratched him, signaling him not to make any conspicuous movements.
Nevertheless, Ming Linyuan found it amusing and asked Jeremy who was leading the way, “Where is your Left Demon Envoy?”
“Galu?” Jeremy looked back at him, his gaze deep with meaning, “He has gone to the Beast World. It seems that a prince was born to the Beast Emperor of the Eastern District, heralded by auspicious signs, so he took off to have a look.”
“Ask for details!” Sally scratched Ming Linyuan twice more with her little paw.
Although she believed in Zi Qi’s ability to protect Little Shiqi, Manman had once suffered at the hands of Galu and the memory of it still terrified her each time she thought about it. Now that he was after Little Shiqi… This Third Demon King would have to eliminate the threat, if only for the safety of her offspring!
[Xiaomei, can you make a move?]
[As long as it’s confirmed that he’s related to the childbirth virus, the System’s power can be used to kill him.]
[Okay.]
“I’ve dealt with the Purple Emperor a few times. How should I put it, if you don’t provoke him or cause trouble in his territory, he won’t bother you. But if you ever touch his interests, expect at least tenfold repayment. Jeremy, if you really dare to touch his son, even overturning all of Wanmo City won’t be enough to quench his wrath.”
“The more you say it, the more I want to target his son!”
“Third brother, if you want to die, don’t drag your brother down with you.”
“I won’t, I never considered you a brother.”
“That is truly good news.”
“Hahahaha, just kidding.”
“Third brother, how long ago did Galu go to the Eastern District?”
“About two days now. Why? Want to tip off the Beast Emperor?” Jeremy looked towards Ming Linyuan with a mild and implicit gaze.
Yet it made one feel a chill to the bone.
Ming Linyuan replied calmly and collectedly, “Of course not, just asking. It’s not just about capturing the Purple Emperor’s son, right?”
Jeremy’s smile had a moment of cruel tearing, but it quickly returned to a spring breeze, “Fourth brother understands me. Indeed, there are other matters.” 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
“What matters?”
“Does fourth brother want to get involved?”
“If there is a chance to make a fortune, of course I want to include my brothers.”
“I’m afraid even our father, the Demon Emperor, might not match up to your wealth.”
“Not at all, I just dabble in small ventures, and whatever I make, I almost entirely spend; I haven’t saved much.”
“Third brother—huh? How rare, fourth brother is here too. Is it about the Phantom Demon Beast?”
The Sixth Demon King Sayana looked innocently adorable, resembling a little girl who hadn’t grown up, dressed in a black Royal Court style poofy dress, with snow-white skin, a baby face, crimson lips, and curly golden hair, having the same blood-red pupils as Ming Linyuan.
“Sixth sister Sayana is a child the Demon Emperor took in from outside; no one knows who her mother is.” Ming Linyuan whispered to Sally.
Sally glanced at Sayana’s clothing style and the golden long hair…
If Little Shiqi were dressed up in this style, she’d bear at least a sixty percent resemblance, maybe forty percent if not. Particularly that hair—it’s a hallmark of the Angel Clan creatures.
“It’s been a while, sixth sister has grown taller.” Ming Linyuan walked over and compared their heights, “A good half inch!”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm! Only fourth brother has sharp eyes; third brother and fifth brother both said I haven’t grown, so annoying!”
“We just grow slowly, no rush.” Ming Linyuan said with a smile.
“I didn’t say you haven’t grown.” Jeremy retorted, “Let’s go inside to talk.”
The fifth Demon King, Welly, with a mask covering his face and his neatly cropped black hair, was holding a glass of wine.
When he saw Ming Linyuan arrive, he raised his glass in greeting.
Ming Linyuan went straight to the empty seat beside him and sat down, “Have you found the Huasheng Biguo?”
Welly had once asked Ming Linyuan for help in searching for several alchemy ingredients, including the Huasheng Biguo, but although Ming Linyuan had located the other ingredients, the Huasheng Biguo remained elusive.
Welly’s voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he was muffling something in his mouth, and he replied, “No.”
[Host, this fifth Demon King is on the brink of the True Devil Peak realm! He is about to break through!] Xiaomei reminded Sally.
Sally was astonished, [Such a high realm! Isn’t that almost on par with Zi Qi?]
[Yes, he is a Human Demon hybrid! Host, would you consider having a child with him?]
[…! Don’t you start matchmaking me with Beast Husbands.]
[Ming Linyuan’s demonized Talent gene is already fulfilled by Manman. This one is a Human Demon! His Talent gene is certainly not ordinary.]
[That shows, the Beast Emperor’s seeding range is quite extensive.]
[Host should also work hard.]
[…What does that have to do with me!] Sally was speechless.
Human Demon? Prompted by Xiaomei’s words, Sally poked her head out from Ming Linyuan’s fluffy collar to take a closer look at Welly.
Welly’s gaze met hers…
Sally: “…”
Quietly, she retracted back into hiding.
…
Beast Emperor’s Palace.
Little Shiqi was reading a book.
His approach to reading was unusual; he would literally consume each page he read, savoring it afterwards.
Zi Qi watched his youngest son with a headache brewing.
Yu Yan brought over a pile of books, “Your Majesty, these are made from rice pulp and the ink is from fish; they won’t upset the stomach when eaten.”
“When Yanyan taught him to read, he kept pretending to not understand, so Yanyan thought he really didn’t know and earnestly advised him—books should be taken in with the eyes, and consumed by the stomach!”
“…He took that quite literally!” Yu Yan couldn’t help but let out an astonished chuckle.
“Father, when will mother return?” Little Shiqi gracefully leapt up, a light bound that landed him firmly on the royal desk.
Zi Qi: “…”
He suddenly felt that having Xiaoba in the egg was quite nice.
If Xiaoba turned out to be like this one, he might have a shorter life!
“Father?” Little Shiqi used the horn on his head to gently bump the back of his hand, leaving a faint trace of blood.
Zi Qi gently wiped it away, and the blood mark disappeared, then he stroked Little Shiqi’s head, “Your mother is busy with something; she will come to see you once she’s done.”
“Father, I really miss mother.” Little Shiqi’s small tongue licked Zi Qi’s palm.
“…” He had so many children, but he guessed this one was the most attached to Sally.
A thousand years of wandering bred affection that couldn’t just be severed at birth.
“Father, will you help Little Shiqi find mother?”
“…” Zi Qi was at a loss for words, “Right now, she should be in the Dark Continent. Father cannot easily set foot there unless the two worlds are at odds.”
Little Shiqi’s amethyst eyes swirled as he asked, “What could spark a conflict between the two worlds?”
Not only was Zi Qi left speechless, but Yu Yan also felt a cold sweat break out…
