The ritual implement flew in the sky for about two days.

Along the way, it was just Pei Zhi and Gao Shijie who kept joking around.

Pei Zhi was truly glad she brought Gao Shijie along; otherwise, she would have been too bored by herself.

Sikong Ren was in his room, cultivating in seclusion.

Upon returning to the demon realm, Sikong Ren immediately went to make offerings to the ancient tree.

The magical artifact passed through a barrier and arrived in the territory of the demon realm.

Gao Shijie excitedly lay down to look down, but was then greatly disappointed.

It seems to be no different from the world of cultivation.

On the street, many vendors were setting up stalls to do business.

Gao Shijie exclaimed, "So, people in the demon realm also wear white and light-colored clothes?"

Pei Zhi retorted, "Are light-colored clothes exclusive to our cultivation world?"

Gao Shijie shook his head. "I just read in a storybook that demons in the demon realm all wear animal skins. Now it seems they're not much different from us."

Pei Zhi was too lazy to answer Gao Shijie's idiotic question.

After the spaceship flew in the sky for about half a day, Gao Shijie saw a very magnificent palace.

It is magnificent and looks very impressive from a distance.

Gao Shijie pointed and asked, "Is this the royal palace of the demon realm? It's so beautiful."

“Yes, that’s the ancient tree.” Pei Zhi pointed to the towering tree behind the palace.

"This is the supreme treasure of the demon realm, the Ancient Tree that reaches the heavens?"

It was Gao Shijie's first time seeing this, and everything was incredibly new and fascinating.

The spaceship landed directly above the palace and then stopped.

Sikong Ren also came out of the house. He reached out his hand to Pei Zhi, gesturing for her to give him her hand.

Sikong Ren appeared, leading Pei Zhi by the hand, followed by a thunderous voice: "Welcome Your Majesty, the Queen is returning to the palace."

"Welcome Your Majesty, Queen back to the palace."

"Welcome Your Majesty, Queen back to the palace."

Pei Zhi looked at the large group of demons kneeling on the ground in front of her, then looked at Sikong Ren beside her.

Sikong Ren smiled and said, "Marry me, and I will make you the happiest woman."

I have to say, this sounds a bit corny.

But rights are truly a wonderful thing.

This grand display greatly satisfied a woman's vanity.

Even Pei Zhi, who takes everything lightly, was pleased.

Gao Shijie followed beside the Left Protector, saying, "Goodness, my childhood friend is in big trouble now."

The Left Protector glanced at Gao Shijie, "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Gao Shijie was taken aback. Something didn't seem right about what he was saying.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it.

Gao Shijie stared at the Left Protector, who had a stern face, and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

The Left Protector remained silent, simply watching Gao Shijie quietly.

Gao Shijie shrank his neck, feeling a strange chill.

Gao Shijie followed Pei Zhi and the others into the palace.

Sikong Ren pulled Pei Zhi to sit on the high seat, and everyone bowed in reverence once again.

Fortunately, Sikong Ren quickly dealt with the group, knowing that Pei Zhi was impatient with dealing with them.

"You guys go ahead and have fun, I need to go to the ancient tree."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi didn't say much and took Gao Shijie out for a stroll.

Sikong Ren led the Left Protector to the ancient tree, where the Left Protector was astonished to see the fruit growing beneath it.

The Left Protector exclaimed in surprise, "Your Excellency... how could these fruits ripen so quickly?"

The fruit that grows on the ancient tree will become the next Demon Lord.

Normally, it takes hundreds of years for a result to be born.

It's normal for things to happen slowly, taking thousands of years.

But this fruit is growing too fast; its growth rate is clearly abnormal.

Sikong Ren stared intently at the ancient tree and sneered, "It seems the ancient tree is very dissatisfied with me."

The Left Protector hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, there must be something wrong with this."

Sikong Ren remained silent, closed his eyes, and cast a spell on the ancient tree.

The ancient tree greedily absorbed Sikong Ren's cultivation, but in just a moment, after releasing its grip, Sikong Ren almost lost his balance.

The Left Protector quickly helped Sikong Ren up, "Your Excellency, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Sikong Ren looked at the fruit under the ancient tree with a fierce glint in his eyes.

It seems the ancient tree really wants him to die quickly.

With a pale face, Sikong Ren instructed, "I need to go into seclusion for a while. Keep an eye on Pei Zhi and make sure no one bullies her."

"Yes," the Left Protector replied, bowing his head.

Pei Zhi was helping Gao Shijie choose the palace he wanted to stay in.

Gao Shijie watched as Pei Zhi acted as if she knew everything perfectly well, as if she were completely familiar with everything.

"You've been to the demon realm before?"

"Huh?" Pei Zhi realized what had happened and almost gave herself away.

She previously claimed she was going out to gain experience, but in reality, she stayed in the demon realm to flirt with Sikong Ren.

No one in the cultivation world knows about this.

Pei Zhi replied perfunctorily, "No, Sikong Ren mentioned it to me in general terms before, and I remembered it."

Gao Shijie scratched his head. "Really? Your memory is that good?"

"What kind of girl do I like? Let me introduce you to someone?" Pei Zhi changed the subject.

"Do you prefer someone with a hot body, a cute face, or an innocent look? Do you like someone reserved or someone outgoing?"

Pei Zhi encouraged Gao Shijie to boldly express his thoughts, saying, "As long as you can speak up, I can arrange it for you."

"Oh dear!" Gao Shijie exclaimed, as if his backside was on fire. "Why are you acting like a pimp? If my dad finds out, he'll definitely beat me up."

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. "In that case, pretend I didn't say anything."

Gao Shijie panicked: "No, sis, sister Pei, I was just kidding."

"Come on, change your clothes, I'll take you out to play."
