Chapter 79: Golden Serpent Demon King x Fierce Beast Qiongqi 13

Demon King’s Palace.

Su Yan leaned on his hand, his brow slightly furrowed, showing a look of mild frustration.

Not long ago, he had sent his second disciple, Hou Yuan, to the human realm to find his little disciple, who had become infatuated with the mortal world. But Hou Yuan returned saying he too wanted to leave.

What kind of disciples had he taken in?

Two of his disciples had fallen in love with mortals in quick succession. What kind of extraordinary women existed in the human realm that could captivate his disciples like this?

Qiongqi stood behind Su Yan, silently massaging his forehead. “Don’t get upset over them. If they want to leave, let them go. There are plenty of demons in the demon realm. We’re not short on manpower. Without Hou Yuan and Luo Chen, there are still plenty of young demons willing to serve you.”

Su Yan glanced up at Qiongqi beside him and asked earnestly, “Do you think I missed something in raising my disciples? How else could they have fallen in love with mortals, one after the other?”

Qiongqi raised an eyebrow. “Different people are drawn to different things. Perhaps your disciples simply have a preference for human women. This isn’t your fault. Your eldest disciple, for instance, likes female demons. Not all of your disciples are enamored with human women. It might just be a coincidence.”

Su Yan gradually found himself convinced and turned his gaze back to his two kneeling disciples.

He spoke gently, “Hou Yuan, Luo Chen, your master isn’t an inflexible old fool. Do the women you love know your true identities? Can they accept a relationship between a human and a demon? Don’t hide it from them. If they find out later and get scared to death, it would be disastrous.”

After all, his second disciple was a monkey demon, and his third disciple was a scorpion demon. If they reverted to their true forms, it could be quite terrifying to the soul.

Hou Yuan and Luo Chen replied in unison, “We have already revealed our identities to our wives, and they have accepted us. We humbly ask for your permission to leave.”

Su Yan nodded slightly. “Very well, if you wish to go, then go.”

Ah, his disciples had grown up and wanted to start families.

Hou Yuan and Luo Chen left joyfully, their hearts filled with thoughts of their beloved in the human realm.

Qiongqi stroked his chin. “A-Yang, why don’t we also go for a stroll in the human realm?”

Su Yan looked at him strangely. “The human realm? What are you up to now?”

Qiongqi smiled. “We’ve been in the demon realm for so many years. Why not take a break and visit the human realm to relax? We might even get to enjoy some wedding wine. Besides, your eldest disciple is capable enough to handle things here. Our little trip won’t disrupt the grand scheme of things.”

Su Yan clicked his tongue. “Are you just trying to take me away?”

Qiongqi held Su Yan’s arm, looking at the beautiful man before him with an innocent expression. “Just a little trip to the human realm, where we can enjoy some undisturbed time together.”

It had been so many years since Su Yan had taken a break. During this time, Qiongqi hadn’t had a chance to spend quality time alone with him. It was almost worse than when they were in the wilderness.

Su Yan blinked, his long lashes fluttering like a fan. “Fine. Since there’s nothing major happening in the demon realm lately, I’ll accompany you for a walk.”

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi immediately hugged Su Yan. “I knew A-Yang would agree!”

He urged eagerly, “A-Yang, quickly summon your eldest disciple. Give him your instructions, and then we can set off.”

He had to take Su Yan away as soon as possible. If some demon showed up with a matter to discuss, his plan would be ruined.

Su Yan: You don’t have to be so hasty.

Before he could even speak, Qiongqi had already called for his eldest disciple.

Su Yan and his eldest disciple exchanged glances, and eventually, Su Yan had to seriously hand over his duties.

“Fang Yi, I’ll be leaving the demon realm for a while. During this time, I’ll need you to take care of things here. I’ll notify the various demon clans, and they will assist you wholeheartedly.”

Fang Yi, from the eagle clan, replied solemnly, “Master, rest assured. I will oversee the demon realm and ensure there is no internal turmoil.”

Su Yan looked at his loyal and trustworthy eldest disciple, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. “That’s good.”

If Fang Yi could manage the demon realm well, perhaps he could be the next Demon King, and Su Yan could step down and pass the throne to him.

The immortal realm had already appointed a crown prince, and the demon realm should follow suit soon.

Fang Yi and Su Yan chatted for a while longer before ending their conversation. Qiongqi, who had been waiting nearby, immediately took Su Yan away, heading straight for the human realm, afraid that some demon might catch up.

“!!!???” Qiongqi’s swift actions left Fang Yi dumbfounded.

“Is my master’s husband in such a hurry?!”

After his initial shock, Fang Yi sighed. “Master, you’re on your own.”

It seemed it would be a long time before he saw his master again.
