As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
The boy, who had been grinning at the two of them, immediately shook his head upon hearing this: "No way, I don't want to be the clan leader. Being the clan leader is too much trouble. It's better if you, eldest brother, can be the one. I was wrong, eldest brother, second sister. I won't sit there anymore. Please don't mention this to Father."
"Haha~ Serves you right, for liking to sit in the eldest brother's seat so much." The woman laughed heartily when she saw her younger brother acting so cowardly.
These three people are the Phoenix God Lords of the Phoenix God Clan. The young man, whom the boy calls "Big Brother," is none other than the current clan leader, Hongyan God Lord. The boy and the woman are the clan leader's younger brother and sister.
After Hongyan Shenjun sat on his own clan leader's throne, he said to his third brother, "By the way, third brother, you haven't said who you were going to find earlier."
Upon hearing his elder brother's question, the boy, who had almost forgotten about the letter of distress, immediately replied, "It's like this, someone sent a letter of distress to the God Realm, requesting our Phoenix God Clan to find the Demon King of the Demon Realm who has gone missing in the Human Realm."
"The Demon King of the Demon Realm has disappeared? Is the current Demon King still Xiao Qingcheng of the Light and Elegant Peacock Clan?"
Upon hearing this news, Lord Hongyan immediately became a little nervous. He saw a colorful feather on the table, picked it up, and said, "Is this the distress signal?"
Upon hearing this, the guards on the side immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Yes, Chieftain, this is the letter pleading for help."
Upon hearing this, Hongyan immediately said with a worried expression, "I will personally descend to the mortal realm to find the Demon King right away. You should also quickly send a team down to help!"
After finishing his speech, Lord Hongyan strode out of the main hall, looking extremely anxious and impatient as he prepared to descend to the mortal realm to find the Demon King of the Demon Realm.
The guards on the side immediately bowed their heads and obeyed, saying, "Yes, sir!"
The boy found it strange when he saw his older brother's expression, because in his memory, his older brother was always calm and composed, and rarely seemed so flustered.
He turned to his second sister with a puzzled look and asked, "Second sister, what's wrong with our eldest brother? Why is he even more anxious than I was just now?"
The boy's second sister was named Hongyu. Hongyu didn't really understand what was going on, but when she heard the name Qingcheng just now, she felt that it was strangely familiar. She said, "I don't know what's wrong with my eldest brother, but why does the name Demon King Qingcheng sound so familiar to me?"
After thinking it over and over, Hongyu finally remembered. She said excitedly, "Ah~ I remember now, it was him! No wonder my brother was so anxious."
The boy, unaware of what his second sister was thinking, pressed for an answer, "Second sister, who are you talking about? Is it the Demon King Qingcheng? Tell me quickly!"
Hongyu said excitedly, "Oh dear, that's a long story. In short, all you need to know is that this Demon King Qingcheng is our future sister-in-law!"
"What?! Future sister-in-law? What's going on, second sister? Stop teasing me, tell me quickly!"
The boy looked extremely surprised, then tugged at his second sister's clothes, pressing her for the truth. Hongyu, annoyed to no end by her younger brother, finally gave up and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
Hongyu said, "Actually, Qingcheng was engaged to our eldest brother when he was very young."
"Wow~ I never imagined that Big Brother would be engaged to someone from the demon realm? Sister, please tell me more, what exactly happened?"
“Well, this goes back a long time,” Hongyu began to tell the story. “I remember I was very young back then, and my older brother was about the same age as you are now. You were still a phoenix egg back then, not yet born.”
Then one day, the former Demon King of the Demon Realm brought his child, Qingcheng, to visit our Phoenix Clan in the God Realm. As you know, our Phoenix Clan has always been on good terms with the Light and Spirited Peacock Clan, so while my father was talking with the former Demon King, he entrusted Qingcheng to my elder brother and me to take care of.”
Hongyu paused here, then said excitedly, "Third brother, let me tell you, Qingcheng was so beautiful when she was little! She was such a delicate little girl, absolutely gorgeous! She loved playing with us, especially with our eldest brother. And at such a young age, she dared to propose to him, saying she wanted to marry him when she grew up, hahaha~"
Hongyu couldn't help but burst into laughter at this point, and the young man couldn't help but smile as well. He laughed and said, "Wow~ that Qingcheng is really amazing! How old was she back then? But I really want to know what kind of expression Big Brother had at that time. Was Big Brother very surprised when he was proposed to?"
"Hahaha~ You'd never guess this! My brother actually agreed, and he even presented the betrothal gifts on the spot! Hahahaha~"
