Song Xiwei simply couldn't do anything about Aoqian's aggrieved "little wife" look.
"Okay, okay, I won't look for that dog anymore. Let's just pretend this never happened. Is that alright?"
Song Xiwei just wanted Aoqian to stop being stubborn; she didn't care about anything else.
When Aoqian heard that she wouldn't pursue the matter, his tightly pursed lips sank slightly, and his mood remained low.
Song Xiwei had been sleeping well for the past three days and was in a pretty good mood, so she was unusually tolerant of Aoqian and coaxed him without any impatience, "Have you been very busy these past few days?"
Ao felt a lump in his throat.
He felt guilty about what he had done secretly after Song Xiwei fell asleep and didn't want to be caught, but now that Song Xiwei had let it go, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He even wondered if she wouldn't have pursued the matter if someone else had treated her the same way.
How can that be?
This behavior must be investigated!
Ao was seething with anger inside, but had no way to vent it.
Song Xiwei continued to coax him gently: "Have you run into any trouble? Why don't you tell me? Look, I've come all the way to Chidu with you. As your capable subordinate, it's too easy for me to just lie around all day. If you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask!"
Ao Qian rolled his eyes at Song Xiwei with a resentful look, "Besides these, don't you have anything else to ask me?"
There was nothing major happening in Chidu originally, but Aoqian, as a direct descendant, had already quelled all the turmoil with his return.
He hasn't thought about succeeding to the position of Demon Lord yet, because if he were to officially succeed to the throne, these old stubborn demons would probably keep pestering him to appoint a Demon Queen to carry on the family line.
Since it concerns the continuation of the demon bloodline, those old fogies will definitely annoy him to death.
These leisurely days are numbered, and he wants to use them to cultivate his relationship with Song Xiwei as much as possible. In addition, he wants to solidify his position so that if he can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and be with Song Xiwei in the future, he will never let her suffer any grievances.
Song Xiwei thought about it seriously for a moment and asked Aoqian, "Then, let's not talk about this anymore. Young Master, would you like to go for a walk with me?"
Aoqian's expression finally softened considerably.
He nodded to her and said, "Let's go then."
Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief; this guy was much harder to coax than before.
If he continues like this every day, I don't know how long I can keep it up.
Never mind, let's just consider it a different kind of spiritual practice.
Since it was my own choice to walk this path, no matter how much trouble Aoqian causes, I have to keep going.
Chidu was larger than expected. Song Xiwei had previously wandered around the outer perimeter but had not entered the inner city of Chidu.
Because of the previous strategy employed by the split-person Ze Lin, many buildings in this inner city have been renovated.
Aoqian has just returned, and everything is in a state of disarray and still being improved.
Of course, there are many natural beauties in Chidu, such as the Blue Lake in Chidu. It is dusk now, and before sunset, the surface of the Blue Lake is covered with golden ripples, layer upon layer, which is breathtaking.
Beside Blue Lake stands a stone tablet bearing the signatures of powerful demons throughout history, a landmark of Crimson City.
Song Xiwei stared at the stone tablet for a while, lingering on one of the runes for a moment before pointing at it.
He asked Aoqian, "What is that rune?"
Aoqian said seriously, "It is the name of the first Demon Lord. However, no one can decipher his real name. Even my father didn't know much about him, so I know even less. The only thing that is certain is that the power of inheritance is related to him. It is probably a test he left for his descendants. The harsh conditions for passing this test and obtaining the power of inheritance should also come from him."
