Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 183

Chapter 183 - How Did You Know I Liked Tough Meat

After Gu Ying left, the last of the thirteen seated Demon Gods also made his entrance.

Following the sound of soft bells ringing in the great hall, an old man with a stooped body, his face wrapped in bandages, and holding a cane, walked slowly—step by step—to the area below the dais.

Bells were tied to the old man’s cane, and with every step he took, the bells would ring.

"This old man is Shi Guitian, the Thirteenth-ranked Demon God. Greetings, Madam and Little Princess."

Shi Guitian bowed slightly to Luo Ruying, his voice deep and aged.

Just standing before him, Luo Ruying could sense the thick corpse energy and miasma from Shi Guitian’s body.

However, having already seen so many strange people before, upon seeing Shi Guitian now, Luo Ruying didn’t feel much of a stir in her heart.

"Hello, Elder Shi."

Luo Ruying greeted him very politely.

"Madam need not be so polite."

Shi Guitian nodded lightly, his gaze turning to Luo Hongye, who was sitting between Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, staring at him curiously with her big, wide eyes. Even though a thick, gloomy corpse energy emanated from his body, her little face showed no signs of discomfort or repulsion.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Guitian retracted his aura, stepped onto the dais, and extended his old, withered hand towards Luo Hongye.

Luo Ruying was startled, but fortunately, she held back and did not act rashly.

Because she noticed that Ning Yechen had no intention of stopping Shi Guitian.

Shi Guitian’s hand stopped in front of Luo Hongye’s face. His palm opened, revealing a few pieces of candy.

The candies were wrapped in a transparent immortal pouch to prevent them from being affected by the corpse energy from his body. One could say he was very meticulous.

"Grandpa, are these for Ye Ye?"

Luo Hongye lifted her little head and asked.

Shi Guitian nodded lightly.

"Thank you, Grandpa~"

Luo Hongye smiled sweetly and said her thanks, took the candies from Shi Guitian’s hand, and impatiently took one out, offering it first to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying.

"Daddy, Mommy, have some candy~"

Ning Yechen smiled and dotingly stroked Luo Hongye’s little head.

Only then did Luo Hongye happily pop the candy into her mouth and suck on it.

Shi Guitian stared dazedly at the brilliantly smiling Luo Hongye for a moment, his expression involuntarily becoming lost in thought.

When he returned to his senses, a trace of a kind smile appeared in his aged eyes, and he slowly turned to leave with his cane.

The crowd watched Shi Guitian and couldn’t help but jest:

"Elder Shi actually gave the Little Princess candy, incredible!"

"Indeed! I thought he would give her a corpse puppet or something!"

"I think Elder Shi is treating the Little Princess like his granddaughter."

"Otherwise, look, Elder Shi is walking much more briskly with his cane, hahaha."

Luo Ruying also silently watched Shi Guitian’s departing figure.

This person looked very frightening, and his name sounded very scary, but in his heart, he was actually a very gentle and kind person.

Having now met all thirteen seated Demon God Generals, Luo Ruying felt much more relaxed in her heart.

She had originally thought that Ye Tianshen and the others she met in Nanli City were already quite strange, but she hadn’t expected the other few Demon Gods to be even more bizarre.

It seemed she still didn’t understand enough about the Demon Realm.

She didn’t know if she would be able to adapt.

Luo Ruying couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.

Just as she thought she could finally relax a little, the other various leaders and clan representatives from all lands in the hall also began to take turns coming forward to offer her a toast.

Looking at the several thousand people in the hall, Luo Ruying suddenly felt immense pressure.

She was already faintly feeling a trace of drunkenness. With so many people toasting her in turn, she didn’t know if she could hold up.

If only I hadn’t boasted so soon.

While everyone in the great hall was enthusiastically taking turns greeting Luo Ruying, there were three people sitting alone at a long table, cautiously drinking fine wine and eating delicacies they had never tasted before from beginning to end.

These three people were none other than Meng Niu and the other two who had followed them to the Demon Realm.

Among the several thousand people in the entire great hall, as far as the eye could see, they were either Immortal Emperors or Immortal Venerables. The three of them, at the Heavenly Immortal realm, felt extremely insignificant here.

Meng Niu and the other two assumed a dignified, proper sitting posture, appearing very well-behaved and reserved in the corner of the great hall.

Only when no one was paying attention to them would they secretly drink a little wine and eat a little something, afraid of attracting anyone’s notice.

However, even though they were being so cautious, they were still noticed by a portion of the people in the great hall.

Several burly and imposing men surrounded Meng Niu and the other two in the corner, staring at them with curiosity on their faces.

"Hmm? How did three little animals sneak into the Demon God’s main hall?"

"I don’t know, never seen them before."

"Ooh~ A Sky-Swallowing Divine Python, a Chaos Demonic Bull, a Titan Giant Ape."

"And they all have ancient beast clan bloodlines! What fine goods!"

"It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten the flesh and blood of the ancient beast clan. Is this tonight’s late-night snack?"

Meng Niu: “...”

Bai Yuan: “...”

Cai Se: “...”

Cai Se and the other two were so scared they huddled together, trembling, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Mmm, I don’t like to eat snake meat or monkey meat."

"This bull, on the other hand, looks like it would be very delicious!"

"Its muscles are also very full! Very good!"

One of the burly men brought his face close to Meng Niu’s and stared for a moment, then reached out to feel Meng Niu’s body and nodded with satisfaction. frёeωebɳovel.com

Meng Niu almost burst into tears from fright. With a mournful face, he said:

"M-My meat is tough, it doesn’t taste good."

"That’s even better! How did you know I liked tough meat~!"

"Tough meat is good, it’s chewy~ slurp slurp~" The burly man excitedly licked his eighteen-centimeter-long tongue, a look of impatience on his face.

For a moment, Meng Niu and the other two didn’t know who the real beast was, them or the other party. To think they hadn’t died at the Master’s hands, only to be eaten as a late-night snack tonight.

Just as the few burly men were about to reach for Meng Niu and the other two, a serene and cold voice sounded from behind them.

"’You are not to make a move on them.’"

The few burly men instantly felt a chill down their spines and hurriedly turned around, bowing to greet her.

"Lord Left Guardian!"

Yue Qingyou gazed at the group indifferently and said calmly,

"These three are pets adopted by Demon Lord."

"Without Demon Lord’s permission, no one is to make a move on them!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The few burly men straightened their postures and replied respectfully, then hurriedly departed from Yue Qingyou’s presence.

They couldn’t help but feel relieved in their hearts.

They hadn’t attacked yet.

So these three were pets brought back by Demon Lord.

After the few burly men left, Meng Niu and the other two were so moved that they flew directly to Yue Qingyou’s feet, hugging her thighs and weeping profusely.

"Lady Yue!!"

For the first time, they felt that being by Yue Qingyou’s side was so safe and reliable.

Yue Qingyou looked down at Meng Niu and the other two at her feet and said calmly:

"Since you are Demon Lord’s pets, you cannot bring shame to Demon Lord."

"Starting tomorrow, I will send you to a place."

"G-Go where?"

Meng Niu and the other two suddenly felt a chill all over. They silently released Yue Qingyou’s legs, a bad premonition in their hearts.
