NOVEL NEXT Ch. 110
Chapter 110 - This Young Lady Looks a Bit Familiar
“Hmm? Meizhi, so you found Lord Demon Sovereign before This King did.”
Lin Fan brought Longye back home. The moment they stepped through the door, Longye saw Meizhi sitting in the living room.
“It wasn't that I found Lord Demon Sovereign, but rather that Lord Demon Sovereign found me.”
Meizhi explained with an ashamed expression as he gently stroked the cockatiel in his hands.
As subordinates, not only did we fail to find Lord Demon Sovereign, but we made him come looking for us instead. Truly incompetent!
“So you're the same as This King, you were also found by Lord Demon Sovereign first.”
Learning that Meizhi, like himself, was the one who was found, Longye's heart instantly felt much more balanced. He then looked curiously at the cockatiel in Meizhi's hands.
“What's with that bird in your hands?”
“Longye, do not be rude! This is no ordinary bird!”
Hearing the contempt in Longye's tone, Meizhi's expression hardened. He held up the cockatiel in his hands and introduced it grandly:
“This is a bird raised by Lord Demon Sovereign!”
As if it understood Meizhi's flattering words, the cockatiel proudly stretched its neck and directed its usual quintessential curse at Longye:
“Dumbass.”
Longye: “…”
Longye was stunned for a moment, then a look of deep admiration spread across his face.
“Truly worthy of being a pet raised by Lord Demon Sovereign. Its very first word is so domineering!”
“Right?! I think so too!”
Meizhi nodded in approval, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
“That's enough, you two…”
Long Yue, who was standing at the side, couldn't watch any longer and had to interject.
This stupid bird is clearly just cursing at people. How is it that in their ears, it becomes a synonym for 'domineering' and 'mighty'...
Not only are they not angry after being cursed at, but they're actually quite proud!
I really can't understand it. Are all the people of the Demon Race this strange...?
“Hmm?”
Longye followed the voice and turned to look at Long Yue standing in the bedroom doorway. His brows furrowed slightly as he sized her up carefully.
“This young lady looks a bit familiar. Has This King seen you somewhere before…?”
Long Yue: “…”
Seeing that Longye didn't even recognize her, Long Yue was speechless. She took a deep breath and put on the arrogant demeanor and tone of her former Empress self.
“And now? Can you recognize This Empress?”
Longye: “…!!!”
Longye's expression changed in a flash of shock. His eyes instantly transformed into golden, slitted pupils, and layers of iridescent, dark green dragon scales appeared on his skin.
“Empress!!”
The moment he spoke, Lin Fan kicked him squarely in the butt from behind, interrupting his dragon transformation.
Thud.
Longye slid across the floor until he hit a wall. He turned his head and looked at Lin Fan with confusion.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, why did you stop me from attacking?”
“Hmph hmph~”
Meizhi let out two soft hums, walked to Long Yue's side, dropped to one knee, and grandly gestured to her with both hands, saying with the utmost respect:
“She who stands before you is no longer just the Empress of the Immortal Realm, but the beloved wife of Lord Demon Sovereign, the most noble Empress of our Demon Realm!”
His words made Long Yue's pretty face flush red.
A simple introduction would have been fine. Was it necessary to be so ceremonious...
The Empress of the Immortal Realm had become the Empress of his Demon Realm?!
After a moment of shock, Longye seemed to understand something. Just like Meizhi before him, a look of deep adoration appeared on his face.
“During the time we were away, Lord Demon Sovereign has already conquered the Empress!”
“I already said, This Empress was not conquered!”
Long Yue clenched her delicate fists and, with blushing cheeks, retorted angrily.
Why is it that whenever anyone hears that she and the Demon Sovereign are together, their first reaction is always that she was conquered by him!
Honestly!
“Longye, This One asks you, do you know where Yingnü and Mokui are?”
Lin Fan walked to Longye's side and asked.
He had learned from Meizhi that for this trip, all four of his Great Demon Generals had come.
Currently, besides Meizhi and Longye, two were still out there.
Meizhi and Longye alone had already nearly exposed them. If he couldn't find the other two in time, he wouldn't be surprised if some strange news started trending in the future...
“Apologies, Lord Demon Sovereign. The four of us were forced to separate while crossing the void tunnel.”
“When I landed in the mountain forests of this world, I was alone. I saw no sign of Yingnü or Mokui.”
Longye got up, shook his head in regret, and then added reassuringly:
“Lord Demon Sovereign need not worry. With Yingnü's and Mokui's strength, the mortals of this world can't do anything to them.”
“…That's not what This One is worried about.”
Lin Fan said helplessly.
Yingnü and Mokui were, after all, two of the Four Great Demon Generals of the Demon Realm. No matter what, he wasn't worried about them running into any trouble.
On the contrary, he was worried about whether any other people who ran into them would meet with some disaster…
“Regarding Yingnü and Mokui, This One will go out and look for them tomorrow. Let's leave it at that for tonight.”
“You two can sleep in the living room tonight.”
With that, Lin Fan went back into the bedroom, found some stored quilts, and tossed them to Meizhi and Longye.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, we only need to sit and meditate on the floor! How are we worthy of receiving the quilts you have so graciously bestowed upon us!”
Looking at the quilts in his arms, Meizhi declined in a stern voice.
In his eyes, he and Longye had already caused Lord Demon Sovereign a great deal of trouble. How could they still be qualified to receive his Lord's gracious gifts!
“Alright, alright. These are just some spare quilts. Just take them and use them.”
Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling that Meizhi didn't need to say any more.
Seeing this, Meizhi said no more, his face full of emotion and shame.
Even for an incompetent subordinate like him who was always causing trouble for Lord Demon Sovereign, his Lord never held back his gentleness…
Thinking of this, Meizhi held the quilts in his arms and couldn't help but bury his face deeply into them, taking a deep breath, an enraptured expression on his face.
“Haaa~ These quilts still have Lord Demon Sovereign's scent…”
Lin Fan: “…”
Long Yue: “…”
Looking at Meizhi acting like a total creep, Lin Fan instantly regretted his decision.
“Meizhi, how about… you just give the quilts back to This One. You can sleep on the floor tonight…”
“Eh?!”
Meizhi looked up at Lin Fan, startled and with a pitiful expression.
Did I just do something to make Lord Demon Sovereign angry or dissatisfied? Why would he suddenly want to take back the quilts he so graciously bestowed upon me…
