The smile on the Qing Qiu Lady Sovereign’s face froze.
The Qing Qiu Clan had always been renowned for their unparalleled beauty, with the Charming Fox Tribe being the most captivating among them. Throughout history, many mortal emperors had forsaken their thrones in pursuit of these enchanting beings.
The Charming Foxes were long regarded as bewitching protectresses of nations.
Though the Qing Qiu Clan found this reputation unflattering, they had no means to change it.
But now, that long-standing image was about to be shattered.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the audience, the Charming Fox, who should have been dazzling the Demon King, seducing him with a single glance, instead—
“Waaaah…” she wailed aloud, covering her face as she bolted from the hall in despair.
This was not the fame she had dreamed of achieving across the Three Realms!
“This is the famed beauty that Qing Qiu has offered, renowned across the Three Realms… Indeed…” A great demon tried and failed to suppress a grin.
“So this is the refined taste of Qing Qiu.”
Seeing the Lady Sovereign’s darkened expression, the demons present had no choice but to force themselves to sing praises in her honor.
The Demon King, who had been lounging lazily on his throne, suddenly sat up straight as his sharp eyes caught sight of a figure clad in brilliant red.
His right eye twitched uncontrollably, and an ominous sense of dread filled him to the brim.
The mist that shrouded the hall began to dissipate, and his unease peaked. Abruptly, he shot to his feet.
He had to leave! Now!
However, the moment he rose, before he could take a step—
A Green Fox Demon beamed at him, stepping forward just in time to block his path. “Your Majesty, this humble one has come bearing a treasure.” He even flashed a smug look at the Heavenly Wolf Demon.
“Your Majesty, a single Essence-Stabilizing Pill grants ten years of cultivation.”
“One Immortal Pill can grant a hundred years of cultivation.”
“Yet both require long periods of refinement before their effects take hold.”
“But have you ever heard of the Innate Holy Spirit Body? A rarity unseen for a millennium, a favored child of Heaven’s Will. Such a physique is fiercely sought after by every major sect, guarded as their most prized treasure.”
“You must have heard of Sword Sovereign Sunshine, haven’t you?”
At the mention of that name, the Demon King’s heart clenched violently.
“Sword Sovereign Sunshine possessed an Innate Holy Spirit Body—a peerless powerhouse!”
“Since her time, the Three Realms have not seen another like her.”
“You must know, our demon kind are not favored by Heaven’s Will, making cultivation a challenge. But if one were to consume an Innate Holy Spirit Body…” The Green Fox Demon’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
A skeptical great demon scoffed, “Such a divine being would be an unparalleled treasure even in the Celestial Realm. How could you possibly acquire one?”
The Green Fox Demon lifted his brow proudly. “Why not?”
“In celebration of our Demon King’s triumphant return, I scoured the Three Realms and finally found such a treasure!”
“This Holy Spirit Body is still a child—only four years old!”
The Demon King’s pupils dilated.
A Holy Spirit Body? Four years old?
A tiny figure surfaced in his mind.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
With a flick of his wrist, he pointed toward the Lotus Platform, where two figures emerged from the thinning mist.
There stood Lu Chao Chao, her unruly twin pigtails bouncing as she rubbed her drowsy eyes with chubby fists.
“Your Majesty, are you surprised? Is it beyond your expectations?”
The Demon King’s heart plummeted into an abyss.
He gritted his teeth and spat out each word, “I. Thank. Your. Entire. Family!!”
Curse you all, just you wait!
Seeing the moisture welling up in the Demon King’s eyes, the Green Fox Demon flushed with excitement.
“Your Majesty, you are too kind! Even thanking my entire family… I vow to serve you with unwavering loyalty, even unto death! You cannot imagine the dangers I braved, crossing the mortal barrier to abduct this prize.”
“I traveled thousands of miles just to bring this grand surprise to you.”
The moment the Demon King laid eyes on Lu Chao Chao, his blood froze, his body stiffened, and he dared not meet her gaze.
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. They had delivered a harbinger of disaster right to his doorstep.
He wanted to slaughter them all.
Yet the Green Fox Demon, mistaking the Demon King’s unwavering stare for gratitude, nodded in self-satisfaction.
The Demon King’s thoughts: Kill him. Drag him out and execute him!
The Green Fox Demon’s thoughts: His Majesty is grateful to me. My position as Great Guardian is secure!
Meanwhile, Lu Chao Chao tilted her head, scrutinizing the Demon King.
That fiery red hair, those braids—
They looked just like her Windchaser.
Under her inquisitive gaze, the Demon King shrank, unable to lift his head.
Feigning indifference, he barked, “What Innate Holy Spirit Body! I have no need for such methods! Send her back at once!”
“Though I am a demon, I have principles!”
“The Demon Realm shall never resort to such vile acts!” He spoke righteously, fearing Lu Chao Chao might misunderstand.
The crowd: Are you insane?!
The Green Fox Demon, utterly baffled, stared at him. “Your Majesty, have you been possessed?”
Ignoring him, the Demon King suddenly noticed a glint of silver at his throat.
Lu Chao Chao bellowed, “Why is Windchaser’s collar around your neck?!”
“Windchaser was my beloved dog! I raised him for three years—he is family to me!”
The Demon King trembled violently.
It’s over. It’s all over.
She had recognized him!
As Lu Chao Chao advanced, he found himself frozen in place, paralyzed with fear.
Then—
Tears welled in Lu Chao Chao’s eyes as she wailed, “You ate my Windchaser, and you even stole his collar! You heartless monster!”
Her devastated cries filled the hall.
The Green Fox Demon jumped up in outrage. “How dare you insult His Majesty?!”
But Lu Chao Chao collapsed onto the floor, sobbing bitterly.
She had underestimated the Demon King. He had devoured Windchaser, stolen his collar, and she hadn’t even noticed!
She glared at him, cheeks flushed with fury, muttering an incantation.
Instantly, the Demon King’s throat tightened, his air cut off as the collar constricted.
His face turned blue, then purple. He clawed at it with demonic energy, but the collar would not budge.
With a heavy thud, the Demon King collapsed.
Before the stunned eyes of the Demon Realm, his body hit the ground and—
A massive, fluffy, red-furred hound emerged.
Twin braids upon his head made Lu Chao Chao freeze in place.
She blinked in disbelief, then gasped, “It ate my dog… and transformed into Windchaser! This is outrageous!”
From the sidelines, Xie Yu Zhou quietly tugged at her sleeve, whispering, “Have you considered… maybe he is Windchaser?”
Lu Chao Chao: ???????
