Chapter 219 Extra·Qi Yuan
Granny Nightmare quickly composed herself and said calmly, "And then? Does the Demon King want A-Yuan to get involved in that mess?"
“Ah Yuan…”
The Demon King repeated the name to himself several times, his gaze suddenly softening. "She is my child, and the Northern Demon Realm rightfully belongs to her."
Granny Nightmare said coldly, "But the Northern Demon Realm is a mess right now. I don't care what you think, I will take A-Yuan away from here."
"She has no way to protect herself. You know what she'll face once her identity is exposed, don't you?"
“I don’t know what happened in the past, but you lost A Yuan, causing her to lose more than ten years of her life. Now that the Northern Region is in turmoil, she can’t stay and clean up the mess.”
"Don't worry, I will handle everything. No one can take away what belongs to A-Yuan."
The Demon King looked at Qi Yuan and murmured, "She is my child, and everything I have will belong to her."
Granny Nightmare felt there was something hidden in her words, but she couldn't figure out what she meant.
The Demon King smiled faintly and said, "May I acknowledge A-Yuan as my relative?"
Are you asking for my consent?
Granny Nightmare was taken aback. She thought that, given the Demon King's personality, he would tell Qi Yuan about her background directly.
The Demon King nodded, "You must have put in a lot of effort to ensure that A-Yuan could grow up safely and be raised so well."
“To A Yuan, I am just a stranger. You are her closest elder, so of course we need to ask for your opinion.”
Instead of answering her question, the old woman asked, "What if I disagree?"
"Then I will resolve the troubles in the Northern Demon Realm and safely send A-Yuan to the throne of the Demon King."
“However,” the Demon King coughed twice, covering his mouth, “if she could be with me, there would be less resistance after she ascends to the throne.”
Granny Nightmare fell into deep thought.
The Demon King will definitely pass the position to Qi Yuan. Although Qi Yuan is her only bloodline, she has been living among the common people for more than ten years. Those people acknowledge her on the surface, but they can't help but look down on her behind her back.
She slowly said, "Ask A-Yuan what she thinks. If she's willing to go back with you, I won't stop her. If she's not, no one can take her away by force."
No matter what they say, the final decision rests with Qi Yuan herself.
Others can only offer her advice, not force her to do anything.
Granny Nightmare watched Qi Yuan grow up and knew that although she was young, she was a person with her own opinions.
She thought Qi Yuan would refuse the Demon King, after all, this child was lazy, she would never stand if she could sit, and would never sit if she could lie down.
To her surprise, Qi Yuan was very excited.
"Oh my god, so I was playing the role of a real or fake heiress. I knew it! I've traveled through time, so it's impossible for me to be ordinary."
Qi Yuan muttered a few words in a low voice. Granny Nightmare and the Demon King did not hear what she said. They only knew that she gladly expressed that she would work with the Demon King to defeat the rebels and restore peace to the Northern Demon Realm!
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
Granny Nightmare was speechless: "Not lazy now?"
Qi Yuan clung to her arm, acting coquettishly and playfully: "Grandma, when have I ever been lazy? I'm very diligent in my cultivation!"
Granny Nightmare glanced at her; she was lazy about everything except cultivation.
Given Qi Yuan's current cultivation level, going there would only be like delivering food to someone else, so what she needs to do now is cultivate.
Granny Nightmare and the Demon King devised a high-intensity training plan for her. They thought Qi Yuan would complain about the hardship and fatigue, or even give up halfway, but she didn't utter a single word.
Just kidding, she's a senior in high school who went through the college entrance exam!
This level of intensity is nothing! Keep increasing it...
Cough cough, she was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously.
Days passed by in such intense training. Although the rebels were powerful, the Demon King was no pushover either.
She secretly directed her subordinates to resist the rebels, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time.
It wasn't until Qi Yuan reached the Nascent Soul stage that the Demon King brought her out and led his army to formally declare war on the rebels.
On the battlefield, the Demon King publicly announced Qi Yuan's identity and spread the word that she had been stolen by Hu Ruifeng and replaced with a fake prince.
When the news reached Hu Ruifeng's ears, he nearly crushed the cup in his hand.
"how come!"
Didn't he throw that little bastard off the cliff? How is he still alive?
The fake princess asked anxiously, "Father, the Demon King isn't dead! What should we do?"
"What's the rush?" Hu Ruifeng finished his drink and said sullenly, "If I can catch her once, I can catch her a second time."
The fake princess said weakly, "But last time it was because..."
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. "Father, I have a plan that might be able to get rid of the Demon King!"
Hu Ruifeng paused, "Eliminate... the Demon King?"
“Yes,” the fake princess said excitedly, “My daughter has a weakness in the hands of the Demon King’s confidant. If that weakness is exposed, his position will be in jeopardy.”
"Perhaps we can use this to force him to attack the Demon King, then we can coordinate an attack from within..."
The fake princess was so engrossed in her speech that she didn't notice Hu Ruifeng's increasingly gloomy gaze.
"Not bad, she's worthy of being my daughter."
Hu Ruifeng smiled and gestured for the fake princess to step forward, "Come, let's discuss the specifics."
The fake princess walked towards Hu Ruifeng, only to be met with a dagger.
A dagger plunged into her heart. The fake princess cried out in disbelief, "Father, why..."
"Don't call me father," Hu Ruifeng said with disgust. "Does some wild brat who came from who-knows-where deserve to be my daughter?"
The fake princess's face turned deathly pale instantly. "Father, what are you saying? I'm your daughter! You admitted it yourself!"
Hu Ruifeng coldly replied, "I am infertile, so where would I get a daughter?"
“I just picked you up from the roadside. I was going to spare your life, but you tried to hurt her.”
A wolf cub that can't be tamed should be killed.
The fake princess could never have imagined that she was merely offering advice to Hu Ruifeng and sharing his burdens, yet Hu Ruifeng, even after establishing a rebel army and declaring war on the Demon King, still protected her.
It's just a suggestion, it hasn't been implemented yet.
The fake princess voiced her question, and Hu Ruifeng replied calmly, "What do you know? I love her, and my struggle for the Demon King's throne is nothing more than an attempt to win her back."
Imprison her in a golden cage, leaving her all to herself...
Hu Ruifeng had hated himself countless times for not being able to have children; otherwise, he would be the one by the Demon King's side now, sharing a loving relationship with him.
He would not give those vile people even the slightest chance to get close to the Demon King!
Looking at the fake princess's corpse, Hu Ruifeng waved his hand, ordering his men to carry it out; he needed to prepare for battle.
A great battle was about to break out. The Demon King ordered Qi Yuan to lead a team to clear the way and boost the morale of the other soldiers.
Inside the Demon King's tent, Qi Yuan scratched his head, "Me? I'm not good enough, am I? The first battle is very important, what if I mess it up..."
She doesn't know anything about fighting!
The Demon King comforted her, "Ah Yuan, just think of it as going to kill someone. As long as the first head of the other party falls into your hands, you've accomplished your mission."
Qi Yuan was still somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this, Granny Nightmare unleashed her ultimate attack—
