"I’ve never liked being threatened since I was a kid, especially when it cos to my family. Little Liu, you really didn’t need to threaten with my sister, because I had to go to Eternal Night."
"Why?"
"I don’t want to say why, and I can’t be bothered to explain. You just need to agree."
"And if I don’t agree..."
"There are no ifs!"
The Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes then radiated a light that made Zhou Zelin feel like his demon soul was being scorched!
Zhou Zelin’s whole body shook. He knew he had no leverage to negotiate with you. He bowed his head slightly and said softly, "Actually, our Demon Clan is quite united, and we don’t have much hostility towards humans. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn’t hurt an innocent person, especially since she, like , is a demon."
You were about to speak when your phone rang again.
"Little Yan has been found; they dropped her off right at our doorstep."
"Mm, I’ll be right back, we’ll talk then."
Zhou Zelin gazed steadily at you. "Chairman Li, as I said before, our Demon Clan is very trustworthy, and once we commit to sothing, we do it without turning back. I hope you won’t disappoint us."
"Don’t worry, I’ll co find you tomorrow."
"No, let co to you instead. I don’t want the Saintess to know about this."
You shrugged your shoulders.
Zhou Zelin left quickly. Indeed, the Demon Clan is a very peculiar species.
As a Shadow Demon, Zhou Zelin’s body could alternate between tangible and intangible at will, making it impossible for ordinary people to capture him.
After things cald down underground, receiving your call, Zai Juejue and the four mbers imdiately cooperated with the fully ard Special Police to slaughter the mutated monsters in the tunnel, while Chro – led by mbers of the Chu Sect – entered the cave.
You didn’t explain much to the Chu Sect mbers. After all, the impression the Chu Sect had left you from the beginning was not favorable. The larger the organization, the more scum it tends to contain.
After a brief explanation of the Seal, Chro contacted the relevant departnts to close off the cave and all nearby tunnels with concrete, completely filling them in to prevent anyone from entering and damaging the Seal in the future.
Back at No. 37, you found Little Qinniang sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi, while your mother was quietly talking with your father on the side.
Seeing you enter alone, your mother couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s Qian-Qian?"
You shrugged your shoulders, "She’s a busy person, with such a big incident happening there, she surely can’t leave in a short ti."
"Ah, that child, just too stubborn. With so many other jobs out there, she insisted on being a Criminal Police, and even the head of them, barely spending any ti at ho."
"Mom, we should respect her decision. After all, if a person abandons their dreams, they’re no different from a walking corpse."
Saying that, you took a seat next to Zhao’er and the others and asked Little Qinniang, "Little Yan, who are all these people?"
Little Qinniang didn’t imdiately answer your question but instead asked, "Brother, they say I’m a demon... am I really?"
You smiled wryly, "I’m a demon too."
Little Qinniang was taken aback.
You looked around the room and said with a smile, "Look at our family; does anyone here look normal? Brother and Zhao’er’s bodies were ford from the Original True Qi, Little Yun was transford through the Original True Qi, and as for Dad, in the Underworld, he’s well-known as the Seven Killers of the Underworld."
Your mother chid in, "You little rascal, isn’t your mom normal?"
Hearing that, you and Little Qinniang said in unison, "How do you resemble a normal person?"
As a result, the shaless mother sniffled and threw herself into your father’s arms, "Wuu—Dear, I’m being rejected by the kids."
"Yi～～"
Wu Qiyi hugged Little Qinniang into her arms, "Little Yan, when your brother says this, he wants to tell you that no matter who you are or what your status is, in my eyes, you’ll always be a part of our family."
"Mhm!"
Little Qinniang earnestly nodded her head.
"Yun, the ones who took Little Qinniang are likely from the Demon Clan associated with the Mo family. Mom ntioned earlier that these demons have always hidden behind the aristocratic families, seldom making an appearance. This ti, they must have a purpose for their actions."
Holding Zhao’er’s tender little hand, you nodded and said, "I’ve already asked clearly, their goal is to have enter Eternal Night to seek the Demon Emperor."
Father, who hadn’t spoken much, was taken aback and turned to ask, "Did you agree?"
"Mhm, I had to agree because I, too, want to enter Eternal Night."
Finally, your mother raised her head, her expression solemn, "Eternal Night is not a playground you can just enter whenever you feel like it, and its uncertainty is far too great. Before you go in, you must make sure you are fully prepared."
As a mother, she knew her son’s temperant all too well, understanding that she couldn’t persuade you not to venture into Eternal Night, but still, she continued to warn you repeatedly.
You nodded, "Mom, can you tell now about the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Fox Demon Clan?"
She shrugged, imitating your gesture, "To be honest, I’m not very clear about it either. Although many people know that the Demon Clan hides behind the aristocratic families, it’s just that nobody discusses it openly. But as far as I know, the Xiao Family hasn’t had any dealings with the Demon Clan since an incident over four hundred years ago. As for how i Yu ca about and why, I’m also unclear."
At that mont, Wu Qiyi and Zhao’er exchanged glances, and both won said at the sa ti, "It’s been almost ten months, hasn’t it?"
"Huh?"
Your mother was taken aback and asked, "Girls, what ten months?"
Wu Qiyi pursed her lips and smiled, choosing to remain silent.
Zhao’er slightly tilted her head to glance at you, and just that one look made you involuntarily lift your head to stare at the ceiling.
Feeling guilty!
Your mother is shrewd, and also experienced, the mont she heard ten months, she jumped to her feet and rushed over to you, grabbing your ear!
"Ow! Mom, Mom! Gentle, gentle!"
"Spill it, which girl have you wronged now? I don’t want a child of several years old to co up to a few years from now, calling grandmother! Mom wants to hold a grandson now!"
"There’s no, no exaggeration like you’re imagining, it’s just... just..."
"What’s with the stamring, spit it out clearly!"
With mother angry, you completely wilted.
"Eh? What’s going on here?"
Just then, Xian Qianling was the first to walk in, and behind her, Xi Yu and Lin Panxia were each carrying two large supermarket plastic bags, and from the volu of those bags, it was clear that everything inside was Lin Panxia’s favorite snacks.
Great, now everyone was here.
You scratched your head and recounted everything that happened at Dragon King Lake that day to everyone.
After listening, all the won stared at you together—that look in their eyes—sothing wasn’t quite right.
