"An elixir of immortality?" The entire audience gasped in surprise. Hearing about this legendary divine object, everyone was excited, never expecting that it actually existed.

This makes sense; there's no way the Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince could have a conflict—unless the Demon Emperor has the elixir of immortality and can remain the Demon Emperor indefinitely. In that case, the Crown Prince would naturally be unwilling and would be more likely to take a risk.

Hearing the buzzing of the crowd, Zu'an pressed on, saying, "Before his death, the old Demon Emperor passed the throne to the young prince. Considering the young prince's age, he allowed the young Demon Empress to rule from behind the curtain and assist the young prince into adulthood."

"Ruling from behind the curtain?" The little demon queen's heart stirred, finding it extremely novel and wondering how this guy came up with such a brilliant idea.

In this way, she can rule legally. He's really thoughtful; he even considered things so carefully for me.

When the Little Demon Queen looked at Zu An, her brows were full of joy and gratitude.

All of this seemed so reasonable that even many of the Second Prince's men believed it.

But the second prince refused to accept his fate: "Nonsense! Even if Father wanted to depose the crown prince, he should have passed the throne to me, not to my young fifth brother. Wouldn't that put the entire demon race in danger?"

Zuan said calmly, "Don't you have any self-awareness about why it wasn't passed on to you? What right do you, a son of a concubine, have to inherit?"

Second Prince: "..."

That's heartbreaking!

He quickly became furious: "I've never heard of a child becoming a demon emperor. The demon emperor is always the one who is strong. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for not showing any brotherly affection."

The Second Prince's anger level increased by 444...

"Brotherly affection?" Zuan pointed to the cross beside him. "Do you mean by brotherly affection that you killed your own brother and paraded his body across the streets?"

The second prince's face was gloomy. At this moment, Xue Han, the eunuch next to him, stepped forward and shouted in a shrill voice, "When did it become your place to interfere in the affairs of our demon race?"

Having performed poorly with Attendant Ufa, he naturally wanted to make a good impression on his master and earn back some points.

Just then, a tiger's roar came, and a yellow and black figure rushed in front of Xue Han, grabbed his throat and twisted it. With a snap, Xue Han slumped in his hand like a dead dog.

At this moment, Hu Qianxiao burst into laughter: "When did it become a eunuch's place to interfere in the affairs of the demon race?"

Just then, a black ripple appeared above the palace gate, and a slender sword slashed towards the Little Demon Queen and the Little Prince.
