"A few years ago, chaos suddenly broke out in the Demon Realm. The Demon Lord was injured and fell to the lower realm, causing chaos throughout the Demon Realm. Alien races were eager to make their move. It is said that the God Lord also came to the human realm from the God Realm. It seems that the prosperity of the human realm for ten thousand years is about to be broken again."
"Until recently, when our Lord contacted us and our master in the Demon Realm also reached out to us, we knew that it was time for us to make a decision."
Dongfang Mian: "What decision?"
The Grand Elder glanced at Yan Lin and said, "Determine whether to pledge allegiance to the Lord or the Demon Lord."
Dongfang Mian looked at Yan Lin: "You betrayed the Demon Lord?"
Yan Lin shook his head.
Dongfang Mian: "I knew you were doing a good job as commander, why did you have to rebel?"
The Grand Elder was utterly speechless. After all that talking, he still hadn't figured out the basics of the whole thing.
Grand Elder: "Don't you know the Lord's identity?"
Dongfang Mian: "What is your identity? Aren't you a commander? Aju used to always call me 'Rin-sama'."
Grand Elder: "...Our lord is the Demon Lord."
Dongfang Mian looked at Aju, both of them with equally bewildered expressions: "You are the Demon Lord!"
Yan Lin smiled and nodded.
Holy crap, that's a real powerhouse.
Judging from Dongfang Mian's expression, even the Grand Elder doubted whether he should continue speaking.
He continued only after Yan Lin's prompting:
"Our lord was ambushed and his strength was greatly diminished. The new Demon Lord seized the opportunity to ascend to the throne and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Demon Realm to wipe out these forces. The Qi family... ultimately decided to submit to the new Demon Lord."
"Pah!" The Seventh Elder spat into the air.
"Back then, our lord left behind some loyal forces and a crucial artifact in the nine domains of the human realm. Right now, the most important things are: our lord to restore his strength, reorganize these forces, and retrieve the artifact."
"However, the divine artifacts were shattered and scattered across the nine continents during the First World War, and retrieving them is not something that can be done in a short time."
"Regarding helping our lord restore his strength, the three of us brothers have found a void barrier sufficient for his recovery, but the problem is that our lord is unwilling to go there."
Dongfang Mian: "You don't want to go? Why?"
Yan Lin: "I can't bear to be separated from you again."
Dongfang Mian's face visibly flushed under Yan Lin's affectionate gaze.
Dongfang Mian: "Go into seclusion and cultivate in peace. I can help you find the fragments of the divine artifact."
Yan Lin: "No, it's too dangerous."
Dongfang Mian's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Are you looking down on me? Do you think my strength is not good enough for you? If you think I'm in your way, I'll leave right now."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Yan Lin quickly stopped her and said without any temper, "I'll do whatever you say. You're the best in my heart."
The Grand Elder was speechless. Was this still his ruthless and decisive master?
"My disciple is naturally the most powerful. Do you think the Supreme Bloodline is just a joke?" the Seventh Elder said irritably.
The Grand Elder and the Sect Master were both shocked: a Supreme Bloodline!
"Good, good, good. With the Supreme Bloodline assisting our Lord, we feel much more at ease," the Sect Master said with a rare smile.
Yan Lin frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Mian'er is my wife, the future Demon Queen."
"But the future Demon Queen hasn't passed the Yan family's test yet, has she?" the sect leader reminded him.
"You have to take an exam to become your wife?" Dongfang Mian was speechless.
"The Yan family has ruled the Demon Realm for tens of thousands of years. Even this internal strife is nothing more than a conflict within the family," the sect leader said.
"Your house is such a mess," Dongfang Mian exclaimed.
"With such a large family and business, there's nothing we can do about it," Yan Lin sighed.
