The priest hesitated for a moment…
His gaze swept over Lu Chao Chao, then to the Demon King, who lay beside her with his head drooped low.
Ah, so he had already faced his tribulation.
The priest stroked his beard and sighed. “I have arrived late… this old minister has arrived too late.”
Then, after a brief pause, he added, “Your Majesty, do not lose heart. The celestial signs reveal that if you cannot escape this calamity, there may yet be another opportunity waiting for you.”
With that, he flung his staff aside and fled the grand hall at an astonishing speed.
“I was wrong! Your Majesty, I was wrong… Please spare my life!”
The Green Fox Demon, his cultivation already crippled, knelt in wretched form, his head knocking against the ground as he begged for mercy.
The Demon King cast a glance at Lu Chao Chao and spoke in a mild tone, “You helped this king find my little master. How could I blame you? You should be rewarded instead.”
Then, he turned to Heavenly Wolf. “Bring Green Fox’s entire family to the Royal City to enjoy prosperity.”
“Not a single one shall be left behind. Even the chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs in their household must come and share in their good fortune.”
A cold sweat ran down Heavenly Wolf’s back as he stiffened. “…Yes, my lord.”
The Demon King wore a smile that did not reach his eyes. Before Lu Chao Chao, he dared not reveal even the slightest trace of bloodthirsty violence.
If he led the little one astray, that ghostly youth would surely skin him alive.
The Green Fox Demon, drained of strength, was dragged away. Only after that did Lu Chao Chao throw herself onto the Demon King, wailing loudly. “Stinky Windchaser, you got caught by Heavenly Wolf, and I worried about you for so long! I thought they had skinned you and eaten your flesh… Turns out, you just went home?”
She blinked and gasped in admiration. “Windchaser, you’re really amazing!”
Then she pouted and grumbled, “Why didn’t you send a message? I worried for nothing!”
She hugged Windchaser’s neck, mumbling into his fur. Xie Yu Zhou, standing nearby, had an expression of understanding.
Serving as a dog for her, compared to being the Demon King, was nowhere near as enjoyable.
The Demon King commanded the winds and the rain, yet when serving as a dog, he was constantly blamed and rarely fed.
“Well, I guess after a thousand years away, you must’ve been really busy,” Lu Chao Chao nodded to herself. Her small ponytail swayed, making her look even cuter.
Suddenly, her delicate ears twitched.
A burst of soft, feminine laughter echoed from deep within the hall.
The Demon King’s expression changed drastically.
“Windchaser, is there someone in your palace? I’ll go check!” The little girl let go of him and ran towards the inner chamber in quick, light steps.
A gentle breeze stirred the silk curtains, carrying a faint fragrance.
The Demon King turned pale, his legs trembling, and he sprinted forward at full speed.
Yet, he was still a step too late.
As Lu Chao Chao lifted the veil, several alluring and graceful beauties were revealed, reclining or sitting in the chamber. The moment the curtain parted…
One of the beauties extended her alabaster arm and curled a finger toward the doorway, her voice soft and teasing. “My king… come join us…”
Her voice was so sweet and enchanting that it made one’s ears tingle.
Then, she saw the small figure before her—barely reaching her waist.
The beauty froze.
Lu Chao Chao’s eyes widened into round saucers.
The Demon King, rushing in behind her, broke into a cold sweat and swiftly shifted into his grand and imposing form, blocking her view entirely.
He even stammered slightly. “They… they…”
How was he supposed to explain why there were women lying in his bed?!
At that moment, he could feel an ominous gaze piercing through the void, locking onto him.
“Windchaser, the Demon Realm must be really poor…”
“The young ladies here can’t even afford clothes. These sisters are running around in just their belly wraps…”
The little girl marched forward, pulling the slipping garments back onto the shoulders of the beauties. “My mother says girls shouldn’t let boys see them like this.”
Under her innocent and naïve gaze, the once seductive and composed beauties fell silent, quietly pulling their robes tighter.
“Windchaser, is this your sleeping chamber?”
The Demon King’s cold sweat dripped like rain.
[I don’t want to be a castrated dog!]
[That boy will have me gelded!]
He had no words.
One of the beauties, reclining on the bed, spoke softly, “I heard that His Majesty’s chamber held a great collection of books, so we came to borrow some for reading. We merely dozed off in the afternoon. We ask for Your Majesty’s pardon.”
The Demon King sent her a grateful look.
“Very well, you may all leave now. Tomorrow, have Heavenly Wolf move the books to the outer hall for borrowing.”
The beauties bowed with downcast eyes, shielding their exposed skin, and replied in unison, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Then, they quietly exited the sleeping chamber.
Lu Chao Chao narrowed her eyes at him, skeptical. “Really? I don’t believe you.”
The Demon King…
[Can’t you just believe me? I’ll die otherwise!]
That afternoon, Lu Chao Chao had lunch in the Royal Hall. All the demons present bore witness as their almighty lord fawned over her, offering her smiles, catering to her every whim, and even shifting into his beast form just to amuse her.
That night.
After coaxing Lu Chao Chao to sleep, Windchaser quietly stepped outside. Beyond the door, the Elders of the Demon Realm knelt, along with the imprisoned Green Fox Demon.
Stripped of his cultivation, Green Fox was reduced to a pitiful sight, kneeling in fear and hoarsely begging, “Your Majesty, please spare my life.”
“It was all Flying Snake’s idea! My only crime was falsely claiming credit. I am innocent, Your Majesty, please believe me!”
The Demon King raised a hand to silence him.
“If you stole the credit, then you bear the punishment.” His gaze was icy.
“Green Fox, do you know what your crime is?”
Green Fox dared not argue further and knocked his forehead against the ground repeatedly. “I am guilty! I was only trying to help Your Majesty improve his cultivation! I never meant to harm you. My greatest crime was meddling with the one tied to Your Majesty’s fate… It was all my fault.”
The Demon King’s gaze darkened.
“One, you should not have touched Lu Chao Chao.”
“Two, I have long forbidden demons from harming mortals, let alone using them for sacrificial rituals.”
The Green Fox Demon clenched his fists, remaining silent.
“The God Realm is untouchable.
The Spirit Realm’s cultivators, if provoked, would tear us apart.
Only mortals are left as the weakest beings in their world. The demons have long used them as sacrificial fodder to increase cultivation.”
He sighed.
“But now, the truth is out. Lu Chao Chao was kidnapped, and that alone is enough for the Demon Realm to suffer grave consequences.”
“Strip his fox pelt. Grind his soul into dust. Exterminate his bloodline without exception!”
“Investigate thoroughly! Any demon who has used mortals for rituals—kill them all!”
