Chapter 396: Maternal Grandma!
Demon King's Palace.
This is the most mysterious place in the entire Demon Abyss. Even among the Demon Clan, only the high-ranking members can enter. Other members of the Demon Clan cannot enter here without the Demon King's permission.
This is both the Demon King's sleeping quarters and a symbol of the Demon Clan's standing in the World.
Following behind the Demon Race High Priest, Li Xiang arrived in front of a massive door.
The Demon Race High Priest bowed towards the door, saying, "Demon King."
The large door opened.
It was a large hall.
Li Xiang's gaze immediately fell upon the Demon Clan member seated on the throne...
Upon seeing the Demon King, Li Xiang was stunned for a moment.
The Demon King's appearance was somewhat different from what he had imagined. He had expected a terrifying existence of immense height with three heads and six arms.
Yet, it was a little loli...
To be precise, her appearance was very much like a little loli among Humans. If you removed the purple eyes and horns, she would resemble one even more.
Li Xiang walked to the front of the throne, saying, "City Lord of Zhushen City - Qu Ming, requests an audience with the Demon King!"
The Demon King stared at Li Xiang for a moment, then said, "Pusiruide, come out."
Pusiruide flew out from Li Xiang's body. After staring at the Demon King for a moment, he spoke, "Oh! Long time no see, Listi. You've changed into a little loli's body this time, I didn't recognize you at first."
Changed into?
Demon King Listi stared at Pusiruide for a few moments before looking away, saying, "Pusiruide, your strength has fallen to this extent... I should be able to easily crush you."
Pusiruide laughed heartily, "Of course! However, I didn't come here to fight with you."
Demon King Listi's gaze shifted to Li Xiang, "You want to see Chen Sisi, right?"
Li Xiang nodded.
"Ereima, take him to the Demon Cave."
The Demon Race High Priest hesitated for a moment, "Demon King... he is just a Human... if he goes to the Demon Cave, he will surely die."
Demon King Listi's lips curled into a smile. Her voice did not match her appearance, filled with disdain for this World.
"You heard it too. If you want to see Chen Sisi, you must go to the Demon Cave. Once you are in the Demon Cave, you will surely die. Choose for yourself."
Pusiruide stared at Listi, "Give me some face, bring Chen Sisi out of the Demon Cave, and let the two of them meet."
Demon King Listi stood up. A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire hall, "Pusiruide, if you were at your peak, your face might be somewhat useful, but now... you are not worthy."
Pusiruide's expression changed. He was the Arrogant Demon!
Now that he had abandoned his arrogance, the Demon King showed him no mercy at all.
Li Xiang spoke up, "Pusiruide, thank you."
After speaking, his gaze turned to Demon King Listi, "I will go to the Demon Cave. Thank you, Demon King!"
"Alright, Ereima, take him."
Ereima was silent for a moment, "Demon King, how about we follow the Arrogant Demon's suggestion and let Chen Sisi come out?"
Boom!!!
An incredibly terrifying aura instantly solidified, hanging like a sharp knife above Ereima's head.
"I don't want to say it a second time."
Ereima bowed tremblingly, "Yes, Demon King!"
She looked at Li Xiang, "Come with me."
Seeing this, Pusiruide prepared to enter Li Xiang's body.
"Pusiruide, it's been a long time. Won't you stay and reminisce with me?"
Upon hearing this, Pusiruide looked at Li Xiang, "You go by yourself, I'll stay here."
Li Xiang nodded and looked at Ereima, "Thank you for your trouble, High Priest."
...
Following behind Ereima, he headed towards the Demon Cave.
"High Priest, can you explain what happened now?"
Ereima nodded slightly, "The Emotional Lock you established with Chen Sisi is the reason she was sent into the Demon Cave.
You killed Latu Deng, so you should know about the Descent War."
Li Xiang nodded.
"Although the Descent War will terminate all relationships between you outsiders and us, the relationship between the two parties bound by the Emotional Lock will not terminate.
Do you know what this means?"
Li Xiang looked at her blankly, feeling somewhat shocked at the same time.
In other words, even if the Descent War breaks out, Chen Sisi will not become his enemy.
This is good news!
"Don't be too happy too soon. After the Descent War begins, one of you must become a member of the other party's faction. Because you will be in the same camp, you won't become enemies."
Li Xiang was stunned.
"That is to say, either you join our Demon Clan, or Chen Sisi joins your Human side."
"What will happen if we don't do that?"
"You will die... both of you will be executed by the Source of the Universe."
Li Xiang's body stiffened.
"The World where the Source of the Universe descends is not just this one World of yours. Once, the Source of the Universe descended upon another World, and that World also had Humans.
Chen Sisi's mother, our Demon Race Saintess, fell in love with a Human Clan man in that World. Later, the Descent War broke out, and the Saintess, not wanting to make things difficult for the man she loved, abandoned her Demon Clan identity and became a Human Clan member.
But... the Human Clan did not recognize her existence and executed her to deter our Demon Clan.
Laughably, that Human Clan man not only failed to protect the Saintess but also became one of the Emperors of the Human's Ten Great Empires by taking credit for executing the Demon Race Saintess.
If I remember correctly... the Emperor of the Dragon Flame Empire you belong to is that Human Clan man.
In that war, the Source of the Universe, which is us, was victorious. The entire World was incorporated into this World, which is why you outsiders are now in the Ten Great Empires."
"Regarding you... I've also investigated a bit. You can't give Chen Sisi happiness. Let go of Chen Sisi, and let go of yourself. I will find a way to break the Emotional Lock. Leave this place."
After Ereima finished speaking, she looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang knew that the best answer for him now was to agree and leave.
But...
His past moments with Chen Sisi kept surfacing in his mind at this time.
She had helped him too much...
And he, not only couldn't help her at all, but also caused her to fall into difficulty.
"Could you let me see Chen Sisi one last time..."
Ereima sighed and took out a black bead, "Take this. After entering the Demon Cave, it will protect you from the invasion of the power inside the Demon Cave, but the time is limited, only one hour."
"High Priest... thank you!" Li Xiang bowed deeply.
Ereima shook her head, "Using your Human Clan's term, Chen Sisi is my niece... I am not helping you..."
Li Xiang looked at Ereima in shock.
In other words, the deceased Saintess was the daughter of the High Priest in front of him!
"The Demon Cave is just ahead. Go on. Remember, one hour."
Li Xiang walked two steps forward, then turned back, "High Priest, is there a way to bring Chen Sisi out of the Demon Cave?"
The High Priest shook her head, then nodded, "Other than the Demon King, no member of the Demon Clan can bring someone out from inside. The Lord of the Devil's Cave only recognizes the Demon King and no other living beings."
Lord of the Devil's Cave?
"That is to say, as long as I defeat the Lord of the Devil's Cave, I can bring Chen Sisi out!"
Ereima looked at Li Xiang, and after hesitating for a moment, said, "That's right."
"High Priest... if I rescue Chen Sisi, please allow me to call you 'Maternal Grandma'!"
After speaking, Li Xiang directly entered the Demon Cave!
...
Behind him, Ereima stood frozen in place.
"Maternal Grandma..."
