They entered the hall unimpeded. Although the demons were fiendish, they did not dare to show any disrespect in front of Bai Yunfei. Even when they saw Ye Qiu and Master Crocodile, they didnât dare to show any disrespect.
Especially Master Crocodile. In terms of baleful aura, the entire demon race, including Bai Yunfei, probably did not have as much baleful aura as him. He was truly a god of death.
âMaster! The Demon Emperor has been waiting for a long time.â As soon as he entered the hall, a demon priest walked up and said respectfully to Bai Yunfei.
Although Mengli had taken over the position of Demon Emperor, she was too young, and the current headquarters of the Demon Race were all people from the Demon Lord Bai Yunfeiâs lineage. Therefore, Bai Yunfei was still in charge of everything in the entire Demon Race.
âMm, you may leave.â Bai Yunfei replied coldly. After returning to the demon hall, he returned to his previous superior attitude and a cold and arrogant aura appeared. The demon priest didnât dare to say anything else and quickly retreated.
Ye Qiu discovered that this priest was actually an expert above the Dao Sacrificial Realm. He could not help but be secretly shocked. No wonder the demons could occupy such an advanced position in the foreign battlefield. Their foundation was very strong.
Just Bai Yunfei, an invincible Immortal King and the true number one person below the Immortal Emperor Realm, was enough for them to do whatever they wanted. Even Immortal Emperors did not dare to enter the territory of the demons as long as Bai Yunfei was still alive.
Along the way, Ye Qiu kept sizing up the entire demon hall, feeling extremely surprised.
Master Crocodile said excitedly, âHehe, this demon hall is quite domineering. Itâs comparable to my temple back then. Unfortunately, my temple has been destroyed. Iâm only a homeless person now.â At this point, his eyes could not help but dim. He was a failure! If Ye Qiu hadnât saved him, he would still be locked in that cage.
âOld senior, itâs just a temple. WItâs just a matter of time before you rebuild it.â
Bai Yunfei smiled evilly. After walking into the hall, he gestured for Ye Qiu and Master Crocodile to take a seat. He showed his hospitality as a host and did not show any signs of neglect. They were the guests of the Demon Emperor. He still had to give them the respect they deserved.
âThe Demon Emperor has arrived!â
Ye Qiu and the other two had just sat down when they heard a report. They looked over curiously. In the image, the Distortion Door trembled, and a stunning woman in a red robe slowly walked out. It was the appearance in his memory. Ye Qiu couldnât help but be secretly shocked. Although Mengli had already completely grown up, her appearance did not change much. She still looked a little like when she was young.
âGrandmaster! â The girl who entered the demon hall immediately saw Ye Qiu sitting in the hall. Her eyes instantly became excited. Although she had already become the Demon Emperor, in her heart, she was still the youngest disciple of the Violet Cloud lineage.
Especially in this cold demon hall, there was not even a single person who could speak. The moment she saw Ye Qiu, tears couldnât help but well up in her eyes. Excitement was evident.
Bai Yunfei shook his head. He did not stop Mengliâs actions. He only sighed and did not say anything.
âUncle, did you really invite Grandmaster?â Mengli still did not dare to believe her eyes and asked excitedly.
Bai Yunfei smiled bitterly and said, âSince youâve already begged me like this, how can I not invite him? I went personally.â
âI knew it. Uncle is the best.â Mengli said happily. This sentence hit Bai Yunfeiâs heart. He had seen the cruelest and fiercest things in the world, but none of them could move him. Only the girlâs smile touched him. Even if she could not bear the responsibility of the Demon Race, under his protection, she would be able to grow smoothly. He would not be letting down the Demon Emperorâs kindness.
âHehe, little girl! I havenât seen you for so many years. Youâve grown up.â
Seeing Mengli walk out excitedly, Ye Qiu slowly stood up and greeted her. Although she had already become the Demon Emperor, in Ye Qiuâs impression, she was still the little Ioli who liked to play with Linglong, but she was always beaten up by Linglong.
âGrandmaster, youâve been gone for a hundred years. Why didnât you come back to see Martial Uncle Wanâer and me? Mengli misses you and Master.â
Speaking of her master, Mengli was even more depressed. She had not seen Lin Qingzhu for many years. It would be a lie to say that she didnât miss her. Every scene of Lin Qingzhu teaching her was still vivid in her mind.
Ye Qiu didnât know how to answer this question and could only remain silent.
âIs Master alright now? Why didnât she come with you?â Mengli asked curiously.
âSheâs⦠quite good! Sheâs in the lower realm with your Martial Uncle Wanâer.
She didnât follow me up.â
Mengli could not help but shake her head in disappointment. Then, she looked at Bai Yunfei. She asked tentatively, âUncle, can I go to the lower realm to play? I havenât seen my master for a long time. I miss her so much⦠Pleaseâ¦â
The girl acted cute, and Bai Yunfei was instantly numb. He was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. Even in the face of the pressure of an Immortal Emperor, he did not retreat at all. The only thing he could not stand was Mengliâs plea. It was too torturous.
âYour Majesty! This isnât good, right? Opening the passageway to the lower realm is very tiring. Moreover⦠The situation is so chaotic now. If anything happens to you, how will I explain it to everyone?â
Bai Yunfei was also very conflicted. He did not want to disappoint Mengli, but he was also afraid that something would go wrong with her. In order to find her, Bai Yunfei had experienced countless hardships and finally succeeded when Ye Qiu wasnât paying attention.
Was he going to send her back again? This was worse than killing him. He was not afraid of the threats from the outside world. The main reason was that he was afraid that once Mengli was unwilling to leave, the problem would be huge.
âUncle, youâre the best. Just let me meet my master once. I promise I wonât stay long. At most⦠Iâll play for a hundred years?â Mengli probed.
Bai Yunfeiâs mouth twitched. A hundred years? It was indeed not long, but how many years would it take for him to make Mengliâs experience in the past hundred years fade?
âAiya, what a mess! Since when did you, Bai Yunfei, dawdle so much? Isnât it just a hundred years? Itâs just a matter of closing your eyes. Iâll open a path for you! Go ahead. Their master-disciple rela tionship hasnât ended yet. Whatâs wrong with letting them catch up?â
Master Crocodile couldnât stand it anymore. Hearing this, Bai Yunfei felt a headache coming on. None of them knew how difficult it was to be the head of a household. Ye Qiu held back his laughter, but he didnât show it, nor did he stop her. It was mainly because Bai Yunfeiâs theft this time made him very unhappy, so⦠he had to make him suffer. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable.
âAlright! But this time, Iâll go with you. Iâll treat it as playing with you, but you have to promise me. After you return, you have to cultivate diligently. Take on the heavy responsibility of the demon race and accept the baptism of our demon raceâs inheritance.â
In the end, Bai Yunfei gave in.
âYay, Uncle is the best! I promise you, when I come back, Iâll definitely cultivate well.â Seeing that Bai Yunfei finally agreed, Mengli immediately revealed a smug smile. She had finally discovered that her aloof uncle could not stand her wheedling. As long as she wheedled, he would definitely compromise.
This was probably his biggest weakness..
