This novel is translated and hosted on Bcatranslation
“So, in that case, Qing Qiu is indeed better than our Demon Realm!”
“The more tails you cultivate, the more scarves you get…” The Demon King, who had been hanging his head, suddenly perked up in arrogance.
Hahaha! Lu Chao Chao suffered miserably, but watching her torment others was truly satisfying.
Even Windchaser wagged his tail in excitement.
The Green Fox Demon had initially expected a reward, but upon seeing the sudden shift in the situation—watching as the Demon King, who was just moments ago full of fury, now obediently nestled beside her—the Green Fox Demon realized…
He was doomed. Dead for sure.
Trembling, he retreated to a corner. Was it too late to escape now?
As he took a step back, someone blocked his path.
Turning around, he was met with the smirking gaze of the Flying Snake. “His Majesty said he wants to grant your entire family a favor. You mustn’t leave!”
Just moments ago, the Flying Snake had been grinding his teeth in hatred, enraged that the Green Fox Demon had stolen credit for his work.
But now, he clasped the Green Fox Demon’s hands in feigned sincerity. “Thank you for saving my life. I will forever remember your kindness and burn offerings for you every year on this day.”
“I will plead for mercy on your behalf so your family is spared. Rest assured, I’ll take good care of your loved ones…”
“Your mother will remain your mother, but as for your wife… I shall treat her as my own.” He gripped the Green Fox Demon’s hands tightly.
The Green Fox Demon’s wife was renowned for her beauty. He cherished her deeply and kept her hidden away.
Now, rage and despair contorted his face into something terrifying. Unbeknownst to him, he had already been surrounded by guards.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon exuded an aura of killing intent.
Meanwhile, Qing Yan’s eyes locked onto Lu Chao Chao’s fur, glowing red and radiant.
She recognized it immediately—it was her sister’s!
The former Fox Queen of Qing Qiu, the one with the highest potential in thousands of years to achieve the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox form!
Qing Qiu had searched for her remains for years, to no avail.
Yet now, their greatest pride was draped around Lu Chao Chao’s shoulders!
No one could understand how devastating this sight was for them.
All of Qing Qiu recognized that attire.
Their dignity… shattered.
Qing Yan almost lost her footing as she stumbled forward. Windchaser, with his massive form, leaped in front of her.
His heart rejected the thought, but his body reacted instinctively.
Even he didn’t realize how quickly he had moved.
The denizens of the Demon Realm remained in stunned silence, unable to process the fact that their King had become Lu Chao Chao’s spiritual pet.
Windchaser: I didn’t want this, but my body reacted before my mind.
Qing Yan took a deep breath. She could see that Lu Chao Chao was only about four years old and hadn’t even considered the possibility that this child was responsible for Shi Yun’s death.
“The fur on her…” She couldn’t bring herself to say the words.
“Shi Yun was the pride of our Fox Clan. We’ve searched for her remains for years.”
“I have no intention of harming this child; I merely wish to ask a few questions.” Gone was the haughtiness she had displayed before the Demon King. Now, there was only humility.
Shi Yun had been the backbone of Qing Qiu. Now, all they had was an empty tomb.
The Demon King eyed her warily, his battle intent evident.
Lu Chao Chao gently tugged on Windchaser’s thick, fluffy tail and peeked out from behind it. “What do you want to ask?”
Qing Yan dared not look at her directly, as if the sight of that red fur would blind her.
“Little girl, where did you find it? Did you see any other relics?”
Lu Chao Chao tilted her head slightly. “Pretty Sister, I picked it up. It seemed impervious to blades and flames, so I had it made into a scarf.”
Qing Yan’s tears fell. “That’s right. My sister had endured eight tribulations. She was already impervious to harm.”
“Damn that Sword Sovereign Sunshine! This grudge must be avenged!”
The Fox Clan erupted with fury, vowing revenge.
Qing Yan wiped her tears. “Little girl, this is a relic of our Fox Queen. Would you be willing to exchange it for a treasure?”
“Qing Qiu wishes to lay her to rest properly. She must return to her homeland.”
Lu Chao Chao’s little head nodded vigorously. “Then you have to offer something of equal value!”
Qing Yan hesitated. She had assumed the child would be easy to deceive, but this little one was far from naive.
Xie Yu Zhou, smiling like a fox, negotiated at length and ultimately extracted half of Qing Qiu’s treasure vault.
When the Fox Clan departed, their faces were ashen.
Mocking the Demon King for becoming a pet to a four-year-old was one thing…
But their greatest pride becoming someone else’s scarf? There was no laughter left. None at all.
They practically slunk out of the Demon Realm.
Lu Chao Chao pinched the Demon King’s ears and then spread her hands toward Windchaser. “Windchaser, I’m tired…”
Windchaser obediently lay down.
The little girl clung to his soft fur and climbed onto his back.
The once-proud Demon King now served as her mount, carrying her into the inner palace.
His head drooped low as Xie Yu Zhou circled him in excitement.
“Wow… wow… WOW! Windchaser, you’re actually the Demon King?!”
“Imperial Uncle completely misjudged you—he always thought you were just a dog!” Xie Yu Zhou chirped endlessly, his curiosity boundless.
Windchaser, devoid of the will to live, lay on the ground, eyes dim.
“Windchaser, I have a question. Can you answer it? I’m really curious…” Xie Yu Zhou’s curiosity was relentless.
Windchaser finally let out a cold growl, “Ask.”
He already expected the usual inquiries—what’s your true form? Why did you shapeshift into a dog? Why didn’t you reveal your identity?
“When you’re in human form, you eat and drink normally.”
“But when you’re a dog, how do you… wipe after using the restroom? Do you just not?”
“I’ve seen dogs lift their legs to pee. When you turn human again, do you still lift your leg?” Xie Yu Zhou blinked innocently at him, full of genuine curiosity.
Ever since he discovered Windchaser’s identity, this question had plagued his mind.
Now, at last, he had the chance to ask.
Windchaser: ??
Windchaser bared his teeth, eyes burning red with rage, looking utterly rabid.
Sometimes, life was just too much!
“Hey, hey, hey! I was just asking a question! Why are you biting me?!”
“Chao Chao, Chao Chao, help! It’s gone rabid! Aahhh—stop biting my butt!” Xie Yu Zhou wailed as Windchaser tore through his pants, leaving his backside exposed.
“I was just curious! I was just curious!”
“You’re such a sore loser!” Xie Yu Zhou clutched his rear in horror.
Just then, the grand doors burst open with a loud bang.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty! This old servant has finally calculated it!”
“I observed the celestial signs last night and finally determined the truth!”
“Your calamity is tied to a four-year-old child! You must avoid her at all costs, or risk being suppressed for life. She is your millennial tribulation—your ultimate nemesis!” The aged priest, his hair and beard white, rushed in excitedly.
Behind him trailed several of the Demon Realm’s guardians.
Xie Yu Zhou, flustered, didn’t know whether to cover his front or his back.
After a moment’s struggle, he gave up and covered his face.
The Demon King shot a cold glance at the priest. “You calculated well. Don’t calculate again.”
The priest fell silent upon seeing the Demon King lying flat, with a little girl perched on his back, braiding his fur.
“Your Majesty, I’m serious. Also, who is this?”
He looked at Lu Chao Chao in confusion.
Lu Chao Chao beamed. “I’m the four-year-old who’s suppressing him forever!”
