Yun Che had previously heard Yun Qinghong talk about what happened back then. He had heard him clearly mention that the Little Demon Emperor disappeared on the night he married the Little Demon Queen… At the time, he had found it strange. Even if the Little Demon Emperor was eager to save his father and was unwilling to give up, he could have died in a few days. Why did he have to run to the Profound Sky Continent to die at such an important moment?
Now he suddenly understood that his father's unknown life and death and his lack of interest in getting married was probably just an excuse, and the real reason was running away!
If I were to meet a woman who sounds scary like this, I would definitely run away!
Hmm? No! What kind of person is the Little Demon King? He is the successor of the Demon King and the Lord of the Illusionary Demon Realm. With such an identity, he can choose any woman in the entire Illusionary Demon Realm. What kind of woman can he find? Why did he choose such a scary woman who sounds like a ghost to be the Demon Queen... Could it be that this Little Demon Queen has an amazing family background? That doesn't make sense. In the Illusionary Demon Realm, what family background can suppress the Illusionary Demon Royal Family... What's more, the Little Demon King is the head of the Illusionary Demon Royal Family! No matter how you think about it, you shouldn't let yourself down in such a matter.
“Xiao Yun, what is the origin of this Little Demon Queen? Why did the Little Demon Emperor marry her as his queen?” Yun Che asked the question in his mind.
"Well, because the Little Demon King can only marry her."
Xiao Yun's answer made Yun Xiao stunned: "I can only marry her? How can you say that?"
"Brother, you didn't know... Oh!" Xiao Yun suddenly realized: "That's right! I subconsciously forgot again, brother, you are from the Tianxuan Continent. Hehe, in our Illusory Demon Realm, no one would ask such a question."
Xiao Yun began to explain, "The Demon Emperor can have multiple concubines, but the choice of the Demon Queen is fixed. Because the Demon Emperor's bloodline must maintain absolute integrity and perfection, the Demon Queen the Demon Emperor marries must also have the purest Demon Emperor bloodline. Their descendants will continue to have the most complete Demon Emperor bloodline and thus succeed the Demon Emperor. This is a basic principle that the Demon Emperor's bloodline must never violate."
"As for the children born with other concubines, they will be given the title of king and can marry outsiders, but they can never inherit the throne. However, I heard from my father that the lineage of the Demon King has always been consciously unwilling to let the blood flow out, so in the past few thousand years, the former Demon Kings rarely married concubines other than the Demon Queen. Even if they did, they deliberately did not give birth to children with them. So now, the Illusion Demon Royal Family has no princes. The Prince of Huiye and his father, the Prince of Huai, who we met today, are the closest to the lineage of the Demon King. The blood of the Demon King in their blood is actually very weak."
Xiao Yun’s explanation was clear enough, but it made Yun Che stare in amazement. He tentatively said, “If what I know is correct, there seems to be only one lineage of the Demon King’s bloodline. This lineage must maintain the purest Demon King’s bloodline for generations, and the Demon Queen must also have the pure Demon King’s bloodline. Could it be that… the Little Demon King and the Little Demon Queen are… are…”
"Oh, the Little Demon Queen is the Little Demon Emperor's sister." Xiao Yun said casually.
Yun Che: “!@#￥%…”
“Eh? Big Brother, what’s wrong with you? Your face… suddenly became so strange?” Xiao Yun looked at Yun Che’s twitching expression in confusion.
“…The lineage of the Demon King… has always been like this?” As Yun Che spoke, some air leaked from between his teeth.
"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, with an expression that was as if it was a matter of course and could not be more normal: "Each generation of the Demon King and Demon Queen will give birth to a son and a daughter, and then this son and daughter will be the next generation of the Demon King and Demon Queen. There are many families like this, especially families with bloodline power that can be inherited. In order to prevent the unique bloodline power from leaking out, they are not allowed to intermarry with outsiders. The bloodline of the descendants of the head of the family cannot be mixed. That is the biggest taboo of the family... Our Yun family is okay. The Xuan Gang power can be passed on to the next generation by men, but not by women. So the women of our Yun family can marry outside the family, but men cannot leave the Yun family and marry into another family."
Yun Che stared at Xiao Yun for a long while before he slowly said, "In the Profound Sky Continent, close relatives cannot get married."
"Why?" Xiao Yun's eyes widened. "Marrying someone with the closest bloodline to you can make the bloodline of your offspring the purest. The Profound Sky Continent also... it's too weird!"
From the perspective of the people in the Profound Sky Continent, you are the ones who are weird... Yun Che thought with his teeth bared. This is called cultural differences. That's right, naked cultural differences!
No wonder the Little Demon Emperor would marry the scary-sounding Little Demon Queen; it turns out he had no other choice!
It seems that being the king of phantom demons is not easy.
“Now that the Little Demon Emperor is dead, the only one with pure bloodline in the entire Illusory Demon Realm is the Little Demon Queen. It is impossible for the Little Demon Queen to give birth to offspring alone… In other words, starting from the next generation of the Little Demon Queen, there will no longer be pure Demon Emperor bloodline.” Yun Che pondered and said, “Add to that the Little Demon Queen’s identity as a woman, so it’s no wonder that those kings have become disloyal, and even some guardian families have begun to waver.”
"Yes, that's it." Xiao Yunshen nodded in agreement: "Dad said that this is the biggest crisis the Demon King clan has faced in ten thousand years."
"This little Demon King is really too impulsive. His eagerness to save his father and take back the Demon King Seal is understandable, but he should also know that his life and safety are related to the inheritance and future of the entire Demon King clan! If he dies, the Illusory Demon Realm will no longer have pure Demon King blood. The Demon King died in the Profound Sky Continent, and my grandfather and the ten most powerful men of the Yun Family were also buried there. He must be aware that going to the Profound Sky Continent alone is basically sending himself to death... Even if he really wanted to die, he should at least wait until he and the Little Demon Queen had a pair of children... Rather than being impulsive, it's better to say... it's really a bit stupid!"
Speaking of this, Yun Che’s eyebrows suddenly raised sharply.
etc! !
I, who had just arrived in the Illusory Demon Realm, could have so casually wished for such extremely serious and absolutely irreversible consequences. How could the Little Demon King not have thought of this? Moreover, as the heir of the Demon King's bloodline, the Little Demon King naturally valued his bloodline's inheritance more than anyone else... It was something that was a million times more important than his own life and that of his father...
Then why did he go and die foolishly?
A possibility instantly flashed through Yun Che’s mind… Could it be that the Little Demon Emperor went to the Profound Sky Continent for some other hidden reason?
Or... he didn't die in the Profound Sky Continent at all!? Everything that was known to the Illusory Demon Realm was just a lie created by someone to conceal the truth?
After all, the Little Demon Emperor "disappeared" on his wedding night and left a text message informing him that he had gone to the Profound Sky Continent. However, no one witnessed the scene when he went to the Profound Sky Continent, and no one even witnessed whether he went there in the end... If the Little Demon Emperor is not a complete idiot, then there is most likely some hidden story... or conspiracy.
Yun Che frowned, and his memory went back to the time when he was at Tianjian Villa. At that time, Ling Kun seemed to have mentioned the Little Demon King in order to provoke his grandfather Yun Canghai with words...
Yun Che closed his eyes and concentrated on recalling what Ling Kun had said at that time...
“…I might as well tell you once more, your Demon King has long been dead, killed by the Sword Master of my Heavenly Mighty Sword Region and the Heavenly Sovereign of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace…Your pitiful little Demon King has just succeeded to the throne, but he is already overestimating his own capabilities and wants to avenge his father. Tsk tsk…He died in a very miserable way. Now the entire Illusory Demon Realm relies on a little Demon Queen to support the situation…”
Yun Che: “…”
Yun Che had an extremely strong memory. When he tried his best to recall the past, he could make sure that he would not miss any word in the voice… Ling Kun mentioned that the little demon emperor had died tragically… but he did not mention where he died, or how he died… at least he did not say that he died in the Profound Sky Continent.
Xiao Yun did not notice the sudden change in Yun Che’s expression. He nodded and said, “The Little Demon Emperor was indeed too impulsive. It is said that he drank a lot of wine on his wedding day, and he did not use his profound energy to neutralize the alcohol. Therefore, he lost his mind after drinking and did such an impulsive thing… Or maybe, hehe, he didn’t know how to face the Little Demon Queen on his wedding night. I heard from my father that the Little Demon Emperor is very afraid of the Little Demon Queen.”
"Afraid?"
"To be precise, it's respect and fear." Xiao Yun said, "I heard from my father that the Little Demon Emperor is a very arrogant and true-hearted person. He was born fearless. Even the former Demon Emperor couldn't control him, but he was only afraid of his sister... Oh, that is, the Little Demon Queen. The Little Demon Queen's profound strength has always been higher than his, and she has been a very strong person since she was a child. Every time the Little Demon Emperor disobeyed, she would beat him up and beat him into submission. The Little Demon Emperor was always arrogant when he saw the former Demon Emperor, but he was always submissive when he saw the Little Demon Queen, not daring to breathe. Including our father, he was always honest in front of the Little Demon Queen... I once heard from my mother that in those days, my father and the Little Demon Emperor went to the northern frontier on a whim, and there was no news for a month. After returning, the Little Demon Emperor was beaten up by the Little Demon Queen... and she also beat my father up severely, breaking more than 30 bones, and he lay in bed for half a month..."
“…So… cruel!” Yun Che’s heart skipped a beat as he listened.
"However, although the Little Demon Queen has always been very strong, her personality is not extreme, and she is a person that people cannot help but respect and admire. When she was in her twenties, she began to take over the major affairs of the Illusory Demon Clan, and she handled almost everything perfectly. Even the heads of the twelve guardian families respected her very much... It was not until the news of the death of the previous Demon Emperor came and the passing of the Little Demon Emperor that her temperament changed drastically. Her aura, eyes, and methods all became very terrifying. Whenever she appeared, everyone was silent, and it seemed that she had never smiled again in the past hundred years."
Her father just died, and her brother is dead too... well, her husband too, it would be strange if she didn't feel resentment and hatred! Yun Che thought about it and said, "No wonder. Her relatives are afraid of death, and she is the only one with the pure blood of the Demon King. Not only does she have to bear the pain of losing her relatives, but all the burdens are on her alone. At the same time, she is a woman, and she has to inherit the throne, suppress countless oppositions, and bear countless pressures from public opinion... It is indeed too difficult. Under such circumstances, if she is not strong, ruthless, or even vicious, she can't hold on for ten years, let alone a hundred years."
“Yeah!” Xiao Yun nodded: “Dad said that too! Dad rarely praises people, but over the years, Dad has praised the Little Demon Queen many times. At the same time, he has also worried about the future of the Demon King family many times. After all, after the Little Demon Queen, there will no longer be pure Demon King bloodline…”
“Never mind him, that’s the Little Demon Queen’s business. Let’s not talk about the future for now. I’m afraid it’s uncertain whether she will still be the Little Demon Queen in a month. That Huai Wang dares to be so arrogant, and he doesn’t seem to be afraid of being found out by the Little Demon Queen. It seems that he not only has great ambitions, but also has a lot of confidence.” Yun Che curled his lips.
I should be able to see the legendary little demon queen at the Demon Queen Ceremony in a month... Yun Che lowered his brows and pondered... Your attitude will determine whether I return that thing to you... Otherwise, even if this is my grandfather's last wish, I will go against it! I hope... you won't let me down!
The "big secret" that grandpa wants me to tell you in person also depends on whether you have the ability to make me tell it willingly!
As for the Samsara Mirror... Sorry, I will not return it to your Demon King clan, because it already belongs to me!
