Seeing Yun Jianyue's embarrassed and annoyed expression, Zu An couldn't help but laugh. Her reaction was the best compliment a man could receive.

With a reluctant farewell to Yun Jianyue, he returned to the palace and began to readjust to the new system within his body.

In the following days, it was inconvenient for him to stay in the palace, so he temporarily arranged a house near the palace.

Officials at all levels in the royal court came to pay their respects and congratulate the new regent. After all, what happened that night was too astonishing, and everyone knew that the young prince was able to become the Demon Emperor almost entirely by his own efforts.

Moreover, the little demon empress doted on him, and there were even some romantic rumors about him.

After all, one is a young widow and the other is handsome and dashing; it's hard not to make connections.

However, this kind of thing is normal among the demon race and is not a big deal. Moreover, no one really has any evidence, so it is just something to talk about over tea. Many men even envy Zu'an for his good fortune with women.

Of course, many young women who had seen Zuan's heroic figure that night were jealous of the Little Demon Queen. They felt that she, a married woman with children, was hogging such a handsome young hero, which was simply an old cow eating young grass.

However, the people from each faction were all elites. Although they were impressed that the regent seemed even more handsome than in the legends, they were more curious about something else: how come the regent had no energy fluctuations at all, as if he were an ordinary person who had not cultivated?

Of course, although they were curious, no one suspected anything. After all, he had just displayed his power and killed several grandmaster-level beings not long ago. Everyone just thought that his cultivation had reached the point of returning to simplicity and that their own cultivation was too low to see it. So everyone maintained their politeness and courtesy, and no unpleasant things happened.

Zuan received them patiently as well. After all, he had no foundation among the demon race, and it was better to make friends with all sides than to make enemies everywhere.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that these visiting envoys all brought generous gifts, so how could Zu'an refuse them entry?

The gifts of gold and silver were the most basic. In order to highlight their creativity, various forces also carefully selected some rare and precious treasures to send over. Many of them were not only helpful for cultivation, healing, and health preservation, but also precious materials needed for alchemy and forging. How could he not be happy?

After taking stock of all these rare treasures and receiving the Glazed Pearl, Zu'an couldn't stop smiling. Having power really brought in money quickly. The wealth he had painstakingly accumulated before was not even comparable to what he had gained in just a few days.

"What's making you laugh so happily?" A soft laugh came from afar. Zu'an looked up and saw a beautiful figure in a blue scale dress standing not far away.

"Sister Shang!" Zu An was overjoyed. The beautiful figure in front of him was naturally Shang Liuyu. Today, she was not wearing the gorgeous princess dress that night, but rather a scale-like dress that was often seen in nightclubs in his previous life. This kind of dress was obviously very alluring, but it looked exceptionally elegant on her. He didn't know how she did it.

A simple coral hair accessory adds a touch of fiery red to the already beautiful hair.

However, what is even more eye-catching are those flawless bare feet. As they step on the ground, ripples appear in circles centered on their toes, faintly forming a lotus pattern, isolating them from the dust of the world.

Shang Liuyu was also somewhat dazed, blinking as she sized up the man before her. She knew he was always handsome, but she wasn't one to be superficially concerned with looks, so she wasn't particularly bothered. But today, he was far too handsome…

Compared to usual, he seemed to be surrounded by a faint holy light, his whole being ethereal and otherworldly. Seeing him conjured up images of a vast blue sea, drifting white clouds, and a gentle breeze in my mind...

In short, it's a kind of charm that makes people inexplicably like you.

However, her expression quickly changed: "What happened to your cultivation?"

More than his change in appearance, she cared about this matter. The demon race was a place where strength was paramount, and there were countless ambitious people in the royal court eyeing him covetously. If he lost his cultivation, wouldn't he be devoured to the bone?

"Really?" A surprised voice rang out from the side, followed by the appearance of a strange, large mouth—none other than Chiwen.

He looked excited, as if he had heard some incredibly good news.

Back then, as the ninth prince of the Dragon King, he was so full of vigor and ambition. But after encountering this guy, he suffered setbacks at every turn. A few days ago, the opponent's record was so strong that he was in despair.

Now that he hears that he has become an ordinary person, he immediately feels like a serf who has been liberated and is now singing a song of liberation.

"Oh, you're here too?" Zuan said in surprise.

Chiwen was speechless: "You only have eyes for my aunt, of course you can't see me."

Shang Liuyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at her nephew: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Then he looked at Zuan with concern.

Zuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy, even better than before."

As if afraid the other party wouldn't believe him, he reached out and unleashed a wisp of sword energy, instantly punching a round hole in a vase not far away. The cut was perfectly smooth, yet the vase remained undamaged, demonstrating his masterful control.

Seeing this, Shang Liuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chiwen, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed. "Tch, I thought I could turn things around, but it's still the same."

This made his already depressed mood even worse.

Before that, he even found a magnificent set of clothes from the Dragon Palace and dressed himself up to look exceptionally handsome before going to the Demon Clan's territory to find Princess Soren.

As for Yun Jianyue, Yan Xuehen, and Queen Medusa, although the elf princesses are all incredibly beautiful, they have close ties with Zaun. Considering his own safety, he still dared not make a move on them.
