After grabbing Qin An's shoulder, Jia Qi whistled, and a huge bird-like magical beast flew out from not far away and landed in front of him.
Jiaqi grabbed Qin An and threw him onto the back of the magical beast.
Qin An was stunned. When the man touched his hand earlier, he didn't let him touch it. Later, when he saw the man grab his shoulder, he thought the man would teleport away with him, so he didn't resist.
I didn't expect they were going to ride magical beasts to the Demon Realm. I should have known better than to let him grab my shoulders. It's not like I can't sit on a magical beast. It's so embarrassing to be lifted up like this! Qin An was a little annoyed.
Gaqi, oblivious to Qin An's slightly annoyed expression, said, "This is my magical beast, named Gaber. He's never far from me, always at my beck and call." Then, he patted Gaber's back: "Gaber, to the Demon Realm!"
Gaber let out a long cry to the sky, then flapped its wings and headed towards the Demon Realm.
Along the way, the scenery on both sides rushed past, showing that Gaber was moving very fast.
Soon, they reached the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.
This border region is somewhat desolate, with sandstorms everywhere, and gusts of wind blowing from time to time, stirring up a lot of dust.
After crossing the border, they arrived in the Demon Realm.
The scenery of the Demon Realm was completely different from that of the cultivation world. The sky was gloomy, and the surrounding vegetation was dark, creating a depressing atmosphere.
Since Qin An and Jia Qi arrived in the Demon Realm at dusk, Qin An personally witnessed a blood moon in the sky above the Demon Realm. It was completely different from the pure white moon in the cultivation world, and it was filled with a strong aura of bloodlust, giving people an eerie feeling.
Jiaqi led Qin An all the way to the Demon Palace. When they arrived near the main gate of the Demon Palace, Jiaqi instructed Jiabo to land. Then, he led Qin An to the entrance of the Demon Palace.
Two demon soldiers were guarding the area. Upon seeing that it was Jiaqi, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Right Protector!"
"Hmm." Jiaqi nodded arrogantly, then led Qin An into the Demon Palace. Along the way, Jiaqi, relying on his status as the Right Protector, moved freely within the Demon Palace. All the demon servants and soldiers who encountered him on the road had to bow to him.
Soon, Jiaqi led Qin An to the Demon Lord's bedroom.
Upon arriving here, Qin An clearly sensed that Jia Qi had become much more respectful, and was somewhat apprehensive.
Jiaqi led Qin An into the Demon Lord's bedchamber, then knelt at the foot of the steps: "Reporting to the Lord, I have found the person you requested!"
"Oh!" The person reclining on the throne on the steps lazily turned over, his gaze falling on Qin An: "This is my child?"
Qin An stood ramrod straight to the side, raising his head to stare directly at the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord bore a striking resemblance to him, possessing a handsome face with a captivating and wicked charm unique to the demon race. He exuded the majesty of someone accustomed to high positions, and coupled with his languid expression, he gave off an aura of authority that commanded respect without a hint of anger.
"He does look somewhat like me." The Demon Lord sized up Qin An and nodded.
Qin An felt a great threat from the Demon Lord. His cultivation level far exceeded his own. If he could fight Jia Qi to a draw, he would be no match for the Demon Lord.
Under the Demon Lord's oppressive aura, Qin An broke out in a cold sweat. Is this the Demon Lord's true power? I will definitely surpass him in the future! Qin An silently made up his mind.
"Now that you're here, my subordinates must have already told you." After sizing up Qin An, the Demon Lord spoke: "You are of my bloodline, so I am your father, and you can call me Father."
After hearing the Demon Lord's words, Qin An remained silent.
"Hmm?" The Demon Lord was somewhat displeased, and his overwhelming pressure surged towards Qin An like a tidal wave.
Qin An straightened his back, determined not to bend over. The immense pressure made his bones creak, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Jiaqi, standing to the side, was sweating bullets for Qin An, looking at him with some worry. No one dared to oppose the Lord; this was the first time someone had gone against him.
"Master, why don't you call him?" Bloodthirst thought anxiously for Qin An.
"He's not qualified to be my father!" Qin An had no good feelings towards the Demon Lord, his irresponsible father. "Who abandoned me and my mother? Who let us be sold into slavery by human traffickers? When I was in dire straits, did he come to save me? No! The one who saved me was my master! It was my master who pulled me out of the mire. He is my only light!"
Qin An harbored deep resentment towards the Demon Lord and was unwilling to call him Father.
"But the situation is not favorable to you now. Your cultivation is far inferior to that of the Demon Lord, and you cannot resist him! Why don't you endure it for now and just call him Father? When your cultivation surpasses his, it will be no problem to trample him underfoot!" Shi Xue analyzed rationally for Qin An, fearing that Qin An might think too much and fight the Demon Lord to the death.
Finally, seemingly heeding Shi Xue's words, Qin An took a deep breath and reluctantly called out, "Father."
Instantly, the overwhelming pressure receded like a tide, and the entire bedchamber was no longer so oppressive.
"Hmm." The Demon Lord nodded in satisfaction. "From today onwards, you are the young master of the Demon Palace."
Then, the Demon Lord turned his gaze to Jiaqi: "Jiaqi, I'm entrusting the arrangements for the young master to you. In a few days, I will hold a banquet to announce to the entire Demon Realm that a young master will soon be born in the Demon Palace. You will be in charge of the banquet's related matters."
"Yes, Your Majesty! Your subordinate obeys!" Jiaqi kowtowed to the Demon Lord, then led Qin An away.
Jiaqi led Qin An through the Demon Palace, turning left and right, and then brought him to a side hall. "Young Master, this is your bedroom."
Qin An stepped into the side hall, which was quite spacious, but the furniture was made of black solid wood, and the entire side hall was decorated in a dark color, making it look somewhat gloomy.
Qin An didn't find it offensive, thanked Jia Qi, and then sent him away.
Qin An lay down on his bed in his bedroom, where the blankets were quite soft. He sank into the soft bed, his mind racing.
Qin An felt like he was dreaming today. First, he heard news about his master, then he prepared to return to the Star River Sect, then he met Jia Qi and realized that now was not the time to go to the Star River Sect. Then Jia Qi took him to the Demon Realm, where he met the Demon Lord, and now he had inexplicably become the young master of the Demon Palace.
All of this left Qin An's mind somewhat blank.
