With a thought, Chen Xing spent some money from the online shopping interface. He purchased a massive weight of a thousand jin.

He intended to catch the demon boy off guard and crush him.

Judging from his appearance, he didn’t seem big, so a weight of a thousand jin should do the job!

However, he didn’t act immediately. He was concerned that there might be more than just this demon boy around.

There were likely other demons nearby!

If he didn’t make a move, he might be able to feign ignorance and slip through the situation. But once he made a move, if he attracted other demons, there would be no room for explanations.

So he had been waiting, trying to rely on his demon disguise and his silver tongue. He aimed to delay through the weak period as much as possible. Then no matter who came, they wouldn’t be able to stop him!

This was a gamble with his life.

The young demon boy stared silently at Chen Xing and Zero. He didn’t speak.

At this moment, a male demon’s voice came from behind the door: “Dou Bi’er! What are you doing! Come back here! How many times have I told you not to run outside!”

“Uh…” The young boy lowered his head for a moment, then looked back at Chen Xing and Zero lying before him. He loudly said: “Brother Walchen, there are two injured demons lying outside!”

“What!? Let me see!”

With that, Dou Bi’er crawled out from the door. He was only about 5 feet tall, even shorter than little Zero.

Then, a male demon over two meters tall emerged from the door. With a hint of confusion, he walked over.

“Who are you people?” Walchen asked.

Just at that moment, the hundreds of hidden demons emerged from the ground. They quickly bounded over to Chen Xing’s side.

Chen Xing and Zero were instantly surrounded by hundreds of demons.

The dozen or so at the forefront appeared to be relatively older demons. Their already ugly faces were adorned with numerous wrinkles!

“Who are these two? Does anyone recognize them?”

“Seems like there’s also a succubus?”

“So, the two of them are probably married, right?”

Chen Xing slowly began: “We escaped from the demon Main City.”

The leading few elderly demons, after hearing this, inquired: “Escaped from the Main City?”

“What exactly happened in the Main City?”

“I don’t know. I saw the situation and ran.”

Of course, Chen Xing wouldn’t tell them that he was the one who caused it. He still didn’t know the situation of these people. What if they were minions of succubi, stationed around here to keep watch?

Judging by their peculiar way of life, this entire mountain was clearly a lookout point. It could be a male demon’s outpost or even a succubus’s outpost. So Chen Xing dared not reveal his identity recklessly now.

The leading elderly demons studied Chen Xing and Zero carefully. They spoke slowly: “Tie them up.”

As the words fell,

“Roar!”

A sharp beastly cry sounded from the direction of the main city!

Mind you, this place was dozens of kilometers away from the main city. How could the sound carry so far!?

Everyone turned their gaze toward the direction of the main city. Although not very clear, they faintly saw a huge shadow within the smoke. The shadow resembled a monstrous tentacle creature. Eight tentacles danced wildly within the smoke.

“What is that thing?”

“A demonic beast!? Could there be a demonic beast this big?”

Chen Xing was also extremely curious, but he couldn’t see anything right now!

“Roar!”

Another roar sounded, resonating once again!

A massive soundwave brought forth a raging wind. It even traveled all the way to the mountain dozens of kilometers away.

The demons all stared in shock at the terrifying silhouette within the smoke. What in the world was that?

“What’s happening? San’er?” Chen Xing couldn’t see anything and could only ask San’er.

【 Monster…】

???

【 That succubus queen isn’t a demon, she’s a monster! She’s from the monster realm!】

【 But I don’t know what kind of monster she is. Her combat power is far beyond 4 million! It’s just weakened to 4 million during transformation! Her true strength might reach 6 million!】

!!!

Chen Xing’s eyes narrowed; were the combat power values of the monster realm this terrifying?

Fortunately, the appearance of the monster successfully diverted the attention of these demons.

Although they had bound Chen Xing and Zero together, they hadn’t done anything further. Instead, they were all looking toward the direction of the main city.

Several minutes passed.

Ten minutes had passed, and Chen Xing and Zero immediately regained their mobility!

However, these chains on them were clearly made of a special material. Chen Xing found it somewhat difficult to break free, but it wasn’t impossible. Yet, he was worried about causing discomfort to Zero.

Just as he was contemplating how to escape from the restraints, Zero suddenly emitted a flash of white light.

She partially spiritualized. The chains instantly penetrated her ethereal body, became loose, and released her from their constraints!

“Oh!?” Chen Xing looked at Zero with some surprise.

Seeing his astonished expression, Zero proudly displayed a triumphant look, her whole face conveying: Quickly praise me, Husband~!

“Impressive, my dear!”

Chen Xing swiftly stood up from the ground. He patted her little head.

Zero giggled and gently embraced him.

Demons around: ???

What are you two doing over there? We’re right here, give us some face, okay?

“Don’t move!” The leading elderly demon man instantly drew his sword from his waist.

The sword emitted a clear and sharp sound. From the sound alone, one could tell it was a good sword. And that elder was also a renowned grand swordsman in the demon realm!

Named Gurtoto.

“Swish!”

A flash of white light, and the demon blade was in hand. Chen Xing raised the blade, pointing it at the leader, Gurtoto.

He said calmly: “Do you dare to swing your sword?”

The tip of the blade was only ten centimeters away from Gurtoto!

“Buzz!”

A burst of sword resonance rang out simultaneously. The people around had all unsheathed their swords. Pointing them at Chen Xing and Zero.

“Don’t move!” Gurtoto shouted loudly, not daring to move himself.

As a grand swordsman, he instantly realized that the person before him wasn’t someone he could defeat! His instincts told him that if he made a move, this demon blade would chop off his head!

“Um…” Seeing the sword blades around her, pointing at her and Chen Xing, Zero grabbed his arm with some fear and said: “We’re good people… you don’t need to be like this…”

“People will die…”

Cute and adorable, these words softened the hearts of the demons around.

However, the hands holding the swords didn’t lower them. Indeed, someone would die, but it wouldn’t be them.

At this moment, beneath the sturdy tree trunk, an elderly figure appeared, clad in a long robe, walking slowly. The brim of the robe’s hood hung very low, like that of a sorcerer.

Such appearances were rare in the demon realm. After all, the demons in this realm tended to be a bit exhibitionistic. Demon armors which are more and more revealing.

“Who’s there?” The sentry on the edge noticed the unfamiliar figure and immediately sounded a cautious alert.

“It’s me… Lifia.” The voice was neither distinctly male nor female, somewhat sharp.

“Lifia, my lord!?” The person exclaimed in surprise.

The demons on the tree trunk above said in astonishment: “Why is Lifia Star Demon here?”

Then, Lifia spoke again: “Is there someone who can help an old person like me up?”

“Here!” The demon at the edge jumped down after speaking.

He then helped Lifia Star Demon up.

“Lifia Star Demon, take your time.”

“Lifia, my lord! Why have you come?”

The other demons also showed deep respect upon seeing him.

Chen Xing looked at the Star Demon in the robe. He remembered that during the demon’s invasion in the Minghua Forbidden Zone, a demon had mentioned Lifia.

Lifia was the one who prophesied that Zero was a familiar!

The Star Demon kept his head down, his hood pressed low, making his eyes barely visible. He walked through the crowd of hundreds and approached Chen Xing and Zero.

Finally, he raised his head.

Chen Xing immediately noticed that this demon was blind. Both of his eyes were empty, devoid of anything.

Completely pitch-black!

Lifia, raising his head, spoke slowly: “May I ask where you two come from?”

Chen Xing was about to speak.

Demon King Moran’s voice suddenly sounded: “Old man, you’re not dead yet?”

???

Upon hearing this voice, Lifia’s figure abruptly paused.

His voice even trembled a bit: “You’re… Lord Demon King Moran!?”

“Do you know each other?” Chen Xing looked at the demon blade in his hand.

The Abyssal Eye on the blade blinked lightly: “Old friend!”

Then, his form changed, and the form of the demon’s ethereal body appeared among them again.

Everyone was shaken by this!

This appearance, they couldn’t be more familiar with it.

The previous Demon King! The figure they revered like a deity! The Demon King Moran who had saved countless demons from dire straits!

After he stepped down, the demons had even erected a statue in his honor to commemorate him! Not only the previous generation, but the current one also remembered his imposing figure.

However, later on, that statue would be dismantled by Chen Xing and replaced with a statue of Zero (lol).

“Lord Demon King!”

The older generation of demons who had followed Demon King Moran to battle in all directions immediately knelt down. Tears of excitement flowed freely!

Seeing this, the younger demons also quickly knelt down.

Demon King Moran shook his head: “I am no longer the Demon King; the one behind me is your new Demon King.”

???

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads. Their gazes turned towards Chen Xing and Zero.

“Um…” Whenever Zero was scrutinized by many people, she would instinctively draw closer to Chen Xing’s side.

Seeing her like this, Chen Xing put away his demon blade, gently lifting her up.

“Um… What are you doing?”

Chen Xing smiled and said: “Let’s show you off a bit, so they can get to know their sister-in-law properly.”

“Um…” Zero blushed, biting her lip, “Why?”

Chen Xing laughed and said: “Just say something.”

“Why? What should I say?”

“Anything.”

With her face reddening, Zero looked at the demons kneeling before her, feeling extremely nervous. Being in front of so many people and introducing herself, especially to demons with fierce appearances, was a first-time experience for her.

She hesitated and stammered: “Um… hello… I… am…”

“Your sister-in-law.” Chen Xing interjected directly.

Zero instinctively continued: “Yes…”

“Um…?” In her nervousness, she misspoke! She hadn’t intended to say that.

In a hurry, she raised her small hand and gestured repeatedly: “Oh no! That’s not right… I’m Zero… I’m not your sister-in-law! I misspoke!”

Then she felt that what she said wasn’t appropriate either… So she added: “Not yet, at least…”

“Hahaha…” Chen Xing burst into laughter.
