Enjoy~
The royal demon and child faced off each other.
“Mister that was mean, mommy said that hurting others is bad”
“Oh~ I’m very curious to meet your mother”
“You would love to meet her. However, mommy has passed away”
“I am sorry for that”
“No need for sorry mister”
“Why is that?”
“Because, soon enough you will meet her”
Kueng Ning rushed towards the royal demon with his hands aiming for his neck. However, it was easily caught by the royal demon. As the child was struggling to get out of the grasp, the demon, on his other hand appeared a circular symbol, which he touch the child’s elbows and knees, then let him go.
“Young master, stay put for a while. ”
Suddenly, the circular symbols that are on the elbow and knees of the child started glowing, and black chains started wrapping around his whole body leaving only sixty-four openings around his body.
“Woman, hurry up. Insert the white medicinal balls on his left side, while on his right the black ones, then insert the golden one first on his chest then, head”
May, did not linger or ask any questions further and began inserting the medicinal balls on the openings on his body. However, it wasn’t as easy as it would seem, as she got closer the pressure also increases, even she had a hard time of breathing.
Because of this, it took over half an hour to complete the job. After she had placed the last golden ball on his forehead, she immediately felt being lifted and now looking down on the chained covered child.
“What are you doing” she said with a blushed face.
“Saving you from death” the royal demon answered.
“Death? What do you mean?”
“Those medicinal balls, what do you think they are?”
“Body strengthening, Vein purifier’s, Blood purifiers. Am I right?”

“No, you are completely wrong. Those medicinal balls are for reinforcing the seal on his more dangerous memories, but more importantly it is used to break the sealing formations on his meridians”
“WHAT?! You mean to say all this time he had no Qi?!”
“Yes”
“Then, when he grabbed my neck, all my Qi was gone? Isn’t that your young master’s doing?!”
“It is, but that was more of his innate talent to absorb all essence”
“Why are you answering my questions so nonchalantly? What’s your plan demon!?”
“My plan? Aren’t I keep my end of the bargain woman? I told you, Demons do not tell lies”
“You are a very strange demon”
“I could say the same thing to you. A woman from one of the prestigious clans having a normal conversation with a demon, without a single thread of killing intent”
“Truthfully, I could care less about what you demons or beast do in this war. I just want to finish my research”
“Oh. Then, are you interested in a proposition?”
“Depends on what that proposition is”
“Simple, I want you to take care of my young master”
“That’s a pretty big proposition, what do I get out of it? And aren’t you afraid that I would just take him to my clan and use him as a slaughtering machine for your kin and the beasts”
“AHAHAHA, you’re pretty funny woman. Of course, I would give you something for taking care of my master. As for you taking him back to your clan would be impossible”
“And why is that?”
“Because, you would not do that. In your words, it would sharing an interesting test subject”
“Oh~ you don’t mind if I played and tested the boy?”
“Even if you wanted to, you won’t be able to”
“I see, then what’s this something you are giving me?”
“Once I give it to you, you swear to protect and take care of my master”
“I promise”
“I trust you on this woman that is why I am not making you swear to the heavens or tamper with your soul”

“Here” suddenly, a simple black ring appeared on the hand of the woman, as she saw the ring she blushed, because the ring was placed on her ring finger.
She bit her lip to let blood flow and let it dropped to the ring, which it shone in bright light to signify ownership. After that she looked into the contents and her eyes widen, and from the shock, looked between the ring and the royal demon.
“Isn’t this too much?”
“For my master, I would spare no expense”
“I still can’t believe what I’m seeing”
“You’ll get used to it”
Silence followed after. They continued to watch the boy who was completely wrapped in chains, but struggling movements could be clearly scene. However, the silence was stopped when multiple helicopters we’re heard by the royal demon and May.
“Tch. Fucking Phoenix Clan”
“Hey! Don’t bad-mouth my family”
“I will say this once. Your family will ruin everything once they enter a five hundred meter radius around my master. You do not want that to happen”
“Then take me as hostage”
“Betraying, your own family already?”
“I have my reasons demon”
“My interest continues to grow on you, human May”
“So does my interest in you. Now, let’s put on a good act, shall we?”
“Here’s the plan….”
When the helicopters we’re six hundred meters away from the island, the royal demon appeared in front of them, and beside him was May, trapped in a transparent symbol formation, where the only things visible are the three circular symbols placed at the top, bottom, and at the middle.
Immediately, the door of the helicopter in front suddenly busted open, and a man having black hair, black eyes, and a rough face, wearing a red robe, appeared in front of the royal demon.
“LET GO OF MY WIFE DEMON!” the man shouted in anger.
“You’re married?” the royal demon sent a mental message to May.
“Nope, my parents arrange me to marry him, but I do not want to” May replied.
“So that’s why you we’re so willingly”
“I help you and you help me, right?”
“True enough”
“Phoenix Clan, I would suggest you leave this place immediately”
“In what rights do you dare order us demon?!”
“By these rights”
With a snap of his fingers ten full black clothed demons appeared behind him in a straight line, all exuding powerful auras. Immediately, when they appeared, they quickly destroyed all fifteen helicopters, making the people fall to the sea, only to fly in the sky to return to the side of the man.
“What do we have to do for you to let my wife go demon?” the man said in a respectful tone.
“Being polite now are we? It’s easy, destroy your cultivation”
“Demon, that’s a very unreasonable request”
“Don’t you humans have a saying that if you really love each other, you would do anything? Then if you truly love her, destroy your cultivation, before I do it myself. So what would it be?”
“I will not, demon. I am sorry May, I cannot destroy my cultivation” the man looked at May with a sad look, while she returned of an angry gaze of her own.
“As I thought, then I shall do it for you”
However, before he could strike at the man, multiple colored pillars accompanied by a terrifying roar suddenly appeared and was heard. It caught the attention of every living being in the world. The Royal Demon and every demon under him recognized those pillars and roar, they cried, they cheered, and they laughed.
While, the humans, beasts, and demons not affiliated with the royal demon, shuddered and feared this terrifying force.
