Darkness will always lead to more darkness, a thought Hua Baixian had already considered when she arrived in the demon realm.

"Let's raise a glass to welcome the Flower Goddess!" Cang Mu, who was in the upper seat, said with a smile.

Hua Baixian downed her wine in one gulp without any hesitation, but the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Before anyone could speak, a maidservant hurriedly entered from outside the door:

"Clan Chief, the Moon Saintess, she..."

“The Moon Saintess is burdened with heavy responsibilities and must be exhausted from the battle, so she doesn’t have the energy to attend this victory celebration banquet. That’s understandable,” Mo Chen interrupted the maid.

Upon hearing Mo Chen speak, the maid dared not say another word and hurriedly retreated.

At that moment, Hua Baixian glared coldly at Mo Chen, then stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Clan Chief. I am not quite comfortable with the environment of the Demon Clan and would like to go and rest first."

After saying that, he turned and left without paying any attention to Cangmu's reaction.

Seeing this, Cang Mu smiled nonchalantly and continued to savor the wine in his cup.

However, the demon generals in the audience were quite dissatisfied.

"Chief, are we really going to cooperate with this Celestial Clan woman?"

"This woman played absolutely no role in the battle. I think we should just kill her to prevent her from becoming a future menace!"

Seeing the angry and dissatisfied expressions of his clansmen, Bu Yunrui, a young man in blue sitting at the head of the table, spoke up, "Please calm down, everyone. With a great battle imminent, why worry about a woman? We should take this opportunity to recuperate and prepare for the next battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man covered in scars stood up and said with a dissatisfied look, "Clan Chief, our army was able to win this battle by sheer force. If the strategist hadn't retreated in advance, we would have already conquered the Celestial Clan and completed our great undertaking! I think the strategist has become cowardly and is no longer fit to lead the army! I beg the Holy Son to personally lead our army to conquer the Celestial Clan!"

"Please, Holy Son, lead our army!"

"Please, Holy Son, lead our army..."

Looking at most of the demon generals who had stepped forward, Mo Chen smiled, put down his paper fan, glanced around with a smile, and then quietly continued drinking his wine.

Sitting to one side, Bu Yunrui looked at Mo Chen with a smug expression, but found that the other party was unmoved and lost interest for a moment.

"Alright! I said that Mo Chen would lead the Demon Clan's military power, and that will not change. I also agree to this retreat to consolidate our strength. If you are dissatisfied and want to make a name for yourselves, go and cut off the heads of the eight Great God Kings, so that the Celestial Clan will know the might of my Demon Clan!"

Cang Mu coldly surveyed the crowd before finally fixing his gaze on Bu Yunrui. "Yunrui, you should rest and recuperate for a few days before returning to the battlefield to earn merit!"

Bu Yunrui glanced at Mo Chen with a gloomy expression, but he couldn't disobey Cang Mu's orders, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

——

After the banquet ended, Mo Chen leisurely fanned himself as he walked side by side with Bu Yunrui on the way back. To be precise, Bu Yunrui followed him all the way out.

Bu Yunrui spoke first, "Although I don't know your background, I will not let your conspiracy succeed!"

"Why do you say such a thing, Holy Son?" Mo Chen smiled, neither humble nor arrogant.

“When you led your army to fight against the Celestial Clan, I checked all the family genealogies, and among the many branches of the Demon Clan, there was no name for you, Mo Chen!” Bu Yunrui said coldly.

Mo Chen chuckled, closed his paper fan, and said, "Is that so? It must have been hard for the Holy Son to consult the family genealogy! I, Mo Chen, am indeed not a member of the Demon Clan, but so what? I don't think the Clan Chief will doubt me, after all..."

Mo Chen leaned close to Bu Yunrui's ear and said, "I know your demon race's weaknesses inside and out. Do you think you need to create another enemy like me?"

Bu Yunrui's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Mo Chen with even greater vigilance.

Mo Chen stepped back and couldn't help but smile. "It's better to stop playing childish tricks. If you anger me, you might have to stay home and recuperate for the rest of your life!"

Bu Yunrui gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill the person in front of him right now, but in the end he held back and turned his head away, ignoring Mo Chen.

Seeing Bu Yunrui leave, Mo Chen couldn't help but sneer, and then went directly to Hua Baixian's room and knocked on the door.

Hua Baixian opened the door and was not surprised to see Mo Chen. Instead, she stepped aside to let him in.

As soon as he entered the room, Mo Chen greeted him with a smile, "Are you settling in well here?"

"You're asking a question you already know the answer to!" Hua Baixian said coldly, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"I know you're upset about being separated from the fox, but there's nothing we can do about it." Mo Chen smiled as he sat down in his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

Before she could even drink it, Hua Baixian snatched it away and threw it on the ground, angrily saying, "You said you would help me, but all you do is suppress the death energy in my body and then break us up? That's not the same as the agreement we made!"

Hua Baixian was emotionally disturbed by Mo Chen's destruction of Licheng and was surrounded by death energy. However, Mo Chen did not take advantage of her vulnerability. Instead, he helped her suppress some of the death energy and stabilize her mind.

Afterwards, an agreement was reached with Hua Baixian...

Mo Chen smiled wryly, looking at the spilled tea, and helplessly revealed the truth: "The death energy in your body and the life energy in the fox's body are inherently incompatible. It's a good thing that you two aren't allowed to be together!"

"What? You, you lied to me!" Hua Baixian was furious and immediately attacked Mo Chen!

Mo Chen moved nimbly, dodging Hua Baixian's attacks while saying, "Girl, I said I'd make sure you two are together, and I'll find a way to do that!"

"How dare you utter such contradictory words? Take this punch!" Hua Baixian unleashed a fierce punch, striking Mo Chen directly in the abdomen.

Mo Chen hurriedly stepped back with a strange smile on his lips.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Hua Baixian couldn't help but sneer, "You're nothing special after all!"
