Protect Our Clan Leader

"Sigh~"

After a long while, the Red Hell Demon Emperor finally let out a long breath and gazed at the tea cup in his hand with countless feelings: "Good tea!"

"No idea where that little girl Wang Ruobing got it from, but it's certainly not worse than the Wu Dao Tea and Laurel Dao Tea I scraped from that horrid woman Yun Tiange back in the day. Although it slightly lacks in richness, just in terms of flavor, it even surpasses them a bit, and seems to have slight benefits to the dark injuries inside the body."

He kept mumbling as he drank, with a rarely seen relaxed and content expression on his face.

The Demonic Dynasty also has advanced spirit plants, like within the Shentu Royal Family, where they cultivate a Peak Level Twelve Town Planting Spirit Tree—[Departure Fire Dao Tree], a pure fire-type Dao spirit plant, matching partially with the Shentu Clan bloodline, though partially incongruent.

Meanwhile, at the Real Demon Palace, there's a Nether Tree, an exotic demon plant.

The Demon Emperor can't drink Nether Demon Tea, and has grown weary of Departure Fire Dao Tea, yet he's very interested in the Wu Dao Tea of the Immortal Dynasty.

The profound martial cultivator practicing demon arts, especially at the level of Demon Emperor, needs to balance yin and yang, stabilize the mind. Hence, in the Demonic Dynasty, Dao tea from the Immortal Dynasty is far rarer than that from the Demonic Dynasty.

Even as a Demon Emperor, he can't always drink it.

The Dao Tea he drinks is either acquired through resources traded from Immortal Emperor Muyun and Ling Xuan Immortal Supreme, or painstakingly bought from the black market on Tianji Continent, each bit extremely precious.

As he was drinking, suddenly a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience."

"Not seeing him."

The Red Hell Demon Emperor decisively refused.

That kid surely couldn't complete the task and came to complain to him.

However, the eunuch outside didn't leave as expected but continued: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince says he has completed the task you assigned him. He has come specially to report back."

What? So soon?

The Demon Emperor was taken aback, immediately sat up straight: "Let him in."

Meanwhile, he couldn't help but wonder internally.

Could this kid be lying just to get in and see him? It's not as if the kid hasn't pulled such stunts before.

"Old Ancestor."

Within moments, the Third Prince Shentu Jingming was led into the inner hall by the eunuch, offering a formal salute to the Red Hell Demon Emperor.

"Old Ancestor, are you drinking the Immortal Tea I brought you?" Smelling the tea aroma in the air, his eyes lit up instantly, his gaze fixed straight on the small tea stove, gulping audibly, "Is it good?"

"Immortal Tea" is just a term of endearment, like calling someone "beauty" or "handsome". Prominent families encountering some fine spiritual tea often grant it the title of Immortal Tea.

However, at the level of Demon Emperor and Immortal Emperor, only "Dao Tea" can be called "Immortal Tea." The real "Immortal Tea" indeed only appears when Wang Lixian is promoted to Level Thirteen.

The Red Hell Demon Emperor disdainfully moved the tea cup a bit further away: "The Immortal Tea you gave me, why do you look like you've never tasted it before, drooling like this?"

He was also quite frustrated internally, unable to understand why every time he had something good, this kid could always sniff it out and come running?

Knowing that to have the Immortal Tea all to himself, he even made up an excuse to send the teacher-named fellow away, yet somehow, this kid managed to arrive right on time.

"Old Ancestor, people should be reasonable." The Third Prince had a resentful expression, "Ruobing Goddess only shared a tiny bit with me. I dedicated it all to you. I haven't even tasted it myself yet~"

"I'd be crazy to believe you," said the Red Hell Demon Emperor incredulously, "When have you not said that? But what's the result? How often have you kept the main portion for yourself, sparing me only a little bit?"

"But this time it's different~" The Third Prince argued confidently, "This is Immortal Tea, how rare! She only had a bit herself. If it wasn't for me taking her to explore relics, she might not even have spared this much for me."

The Red Hell Demon Emperor looked skeptical: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. More genuine than solid gold!" The Third Prince swore, then greedily eyed the tea stove in front of the Red Hell Demon Emperor, salivating, "I managed to get it, at least share a bit with me~"

"...Alright, just half a cup, no more."

The Red Hell Demon Emperor hesitated for a long time, finally restraining his distress to pour him half a cup of Immortal Tea.

Even though this kid always speaks nonsense, he can't be trusted, he wasn't entirely wrong. Immortal Tea is rare, even if he kept some for himself, it likely isn't much, he himself might not be willing to drink it.

Forget it, forget it~ After all, it's family, seeing him this eager, might as well share a bit with him~

"Old Ancestor, I knew you cared for me the most." The Third Prince Shentu Jingming was overjoyed, immediately holding the Immortal Tea, drinking with delight, and words of praise flowed endlessly from his mouth.

"Alright, you don't need to flatter me," The Red Hell Demon Emperor waved speechlessly, "Tell me, how did you resolve the matter of [Huayong Island]? If I find out you muddled through, don't blame me for punishing you."

The Third Prince nodded, sipping tea while speaking: "Actually, solving the problems on Huayong Island wasn't hard."

Not hard to solve?

The Red Hell Demon Emperor glanced sideways.

For this island, the Youguo and Qi Country have quarreled for thousands of years, how could it be resolved so easily?
