Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 347 : Just an Attendant by the Lord’s Side

Chapter 347 - Just an Attendant by the Lord's Side

Learning that Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying before them were the supreme ruler and madam of the Demon Realm, the members of the Fox Demon Clan were prostrated on the ground, petrified into silence, cold sweat streaming down.

Hu Tutu finally understood that she had actually brought the Demon Lord to the Fox Demon Clan…

Just from the appearance and bearing of Ning Yechen's group, and with Luo Ruying's transcendent celestial aura, she never would have thought the people before her were from the demon clan…

Hu Shan knelt on the ground, not daring to utter half a word.

Ning Yechen slowly walked before Hu Shan and, looking down, asked:

"Are you the chief of the Fox Demon Clan?"

"Replying to the Demon Lord, it is indeed this old man…"

"On behalf of the Fox Demon Clan, this old man is eternally grateful to you, Demon Lord, for saving our clan!"

Hu Shan kowtowed and solemnly thanked Ning Yechen.

"The Pig Demon Clan had already offended this Lord; I had no intention of letting them go in the first place."

"If you want to thank someone, thank your granddaughter."

"It was she who, at the cost of herself, begged this Lord to act."

"From now on, she is this Lord's daughter's handmaiden." Ning Yechen said calmly.

Hearing this, Hu Shan was instantly shocked and hurriedly turned to look at Hu Tutu beside him.

Hu Tutu's eyes were filled with tears as she nodded lightly.

"Grandpa, Tutu has already promised to dedicate myself to the Demon Lord."

"From now on, I will serve by the Little Princess's side…"

"Tutu, you… sigh…"

Receiving Hu Tutu's affirmative answer, Hu Shan's face was filled with sorrow and grief.

It was all his fault for being useless; now, the Fox Demon Clan had to rely on his own granddaughter selling herself to save the clan…

In the future, by the Demon Lord's side, he didn't know what hardships and torture she would suffer…

Thinking of this, Hu Shan couldn't help but hug Hu Tutu, old tears streaming from his aged eyes. Hu Tutu had lost her parents when she was young, and he had raised her all by himself. Now, he couldn't even protect his own little granddaughter…

Ning Yechen stood at the side, his brows furrowed slightly, a speechless look on his face.

The way Hu Shan and Hu Tutu were acting, as if this were a life-and-death parting, as if staying by his side would be so tragic…

"Clan Chief, you need not worry. Hu Tutu will not be wronged by my daughter's side."

Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, walked forward and said with a faint smile.

Hu Shan looked up at Luo Ruying. Seeing her exquisitely beautiful face and her ineffable celestial aura, he was greatly shocked.

From the start, he had sensed Luo Ruying's extraordinary bearing and temperament, but seeing her up close now, it was simply a breathtaking sight!

This temperament and immortal bearing were not at all like those of the demon clan, but more like the immortal clan!

Hu Shan stared blankly and couldn't help but blurt out:

"May I ask if you are from the Immortal Clan…?"

"That's right. I am from the Heavenly Realm's Luo Shen Palace.”

Luo Ruying introduced with a smile.

Hearing this, Hu Shan was once again shocked.

A woman from the Immortal Clan became the Madam of the Demon Realm…?!

This was simply too incredible…

He had lived for half his life, with one foot in the grave, and had never heard of such a thing!

And they even had a child…

"Clan Chief, my husband and I have come to the Beast Realm to investigate an important matter and need to ask you a few things."

Luo Ruying got straight to the point.

"Then please, you and the Demon Lord, follow this old man."

Hu Shan recovered from his shock, slowly stood up, and spoke with respectful courtesy.

After ordering someone to find a still-intact room and clean it, he invited Ning Yechen's group inside.

"This humble abode is simple and crude. I hope the Demon Lord will be magnanimous and forgive its shortcomings."

After Ning Yechen's group was seated, only then did Hu Shan slowly sit down before them.

Hu Tutu, very well-behaved and sensible, served tea and placed it before Ning Yechen's group.

"May I ask, are these three from our Beast Realm…?"

After taking his seat, Hu Shan looked at Cai Se and the other two standing respectfully behind Ning Yechen and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Although he couldn't see through the cultivation of Cai Se and the other two, they were not deliberately concealing the beastly aura on their bodies. It was a rich and rampant beastly aura, very unique!

"Clan Chief, you guessed correctly. We are indeed people of the Beast Clan."

"Now, we are merely attendants by the Master's side."

"Perhaps you no longer remember, but I once had the good fortune of seeing you in the Beast Emperor's Imperial Palace."

After seeking Ning Yechen's permission, Cai Se stepped forward with a smile to greet Hu Shan.

"Oh…? My deepest apologies. This old man is getting on in years, and my memory may not be what it used to be."

"Have I seen you in the Beast Emperor's Imperial Palace before…?"

Hearing that the other party had seen him in the Beast Emperor's Imperial Palace, Hu Shan furrowed his brows and began to recall carefully.

The Beast Clan can generally rely on their sense of smell to distinguish a person by their scent. In his memory, he did not sense a familiar scent or aura from Cai Se. If there had been a woman with such cultivation in the Beast Emperor's Imperial Palace, he should have had some impression of her…

Now, Cai Se's cultivation and aura had undergone a huge change, so it was normal that Hu Shan didn't recognize her.

Cai Se smiled faintly and replied:

"At that time, I was just a small, nameless handmaiden by the Lord Beast Emperor's side. It's very normal that you don't remember me, Clan Chief."

"A handmaiden by the Lord Beast Emperor's side…"

"Ooh! This old man has some impression now!"

"You are the little handmaiden the Lord Beast Emperor took in, the little girl who possessed a trace of the ancient Heaven-Swallowing Divine Python bloodline!"

Hearing Cai Se say this, Hu Shan instantly remembered her.

When he had seen Cai Se back then, she had only been a young girl of fourteen or fifteen. He never thought that after such a long time, meeting again, the change would be so great that she already possessed a cultivation he could not see through…

Seeing that Hu Shan had recognized her, Cai Se revealed a smile, which then turned serious as she took the opportunity to ask:

"To be honest with you, Clan Chief, Master has come this time to understand how the former Lord Beast Emperor perished back then?!"

"And why has the Beast Realm of today become like this…!"

Hu Shan looked at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying with a surprised expression. He truly couldn't figure out why the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm and a woman from the Immortal Clan would suddenly come to the Beast Realm to investigate this matter…

Seeing that Ning Yechen had saved the Fox Demon Clan, and that Luo Ruying didn't seem like a bad person, Hu Shan pondered for a moment, let out a long sigh, and spoke with a sorrowful expression:

"That night, the Lord Beast Emperor seemed to have suddenly received some news, her expression was very solemn…"

"She even summoned this old man late at night and ordered me to handle the affairs of the Beast Realm for her until she returned…"

"However, after that night, the Lord Beast Emperor never returned…"

"It wasn't until several months later that the Lord Beast Emperor's head was thrown into the great hall by the current new Beast Emperor…!"

The former Lord Beast Emperor was a wise and virtuous ruler, a rare sight in the Beast Realm for a long time. She was dedicated to her rule and treated people kindly. Under her rule, the Beast Realm was orderly, a picture of peace and tranquility. Yet such a gentle Lord Beast Emperor had unfortunately perished just like that…

"After the Lord Beast Emperor perished, the Beast Realm fell under the control of the current Dragon Emperor…"

"The Dragon Emperor is cruel and inhumane, a fatuous and tyrannical ruler. Any who do not please her, their entire clan will be cruelly annihilated!"

"The clans that have submitted to her also commit every evil, indulging in wanton burning, killing, and pillaging!"

"Now, all over the Beast Realm, clans both large and small are embroiled in war and conflict!"

"The Beast Realm calls her the Bloodthirsty Dragon Emperor!”
