"Hua Keshu, your sister is here."
Halfway there, Yan Quan suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
"Where?! When did she arrive? How could this be? She was supposed to stay..."
After nervously putting down Yan Quan and looking around, Hua Keshu realized that she had been tricked by Yan Quan.
"Wait a minute, calm down. You've made enough of a scene, haven't you?"
As soon as he got up, he saw Hua Keshu blushing. In order to avoid being retaliated against by her, Yan Quan quickly reached out and patted her head.
"Um...don't think you can get away with this...ah...um..."
Stop! There are still people here... No... Ha, ha..."
For some reason, Hua Keshu's body went limp and she collapsed into Yan Quan's arms, struggling incessantly.
Yan Quan, however, followed his experience and, unlike the usual head pat, gently stroked the cat's ears. Generally, he didn't really want to do that.
This behavior seems to have some special meaning among the cat demons, but it works very well for Hua Keshu.
"I can stop, but you have to listen to what I'm saying..."
"Um...ha...okay, okay, I'll listen to you...there are too many people here, you, you shouldn't do this...ah..."
Hua Keshu felt a pang of distress, and her delicate body grew even hotter.
"Ahem, where are you ranked among the candidates for the throne now?"
Yan Quan stopped what he was doing, looked at Hua Keshu who was breathing heavily, and asked simply.
"Ugh... I won't tell you! All you do is bully me like this."
Hua Keshu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she turned her back to look out of the fairy ship.
"Don't throw a tantrum. I've come to the demon realm to find someone."
And you... still bear the expectations of your clan, so please don't mess around with me, okay?
Yan Quan said calmly, taking out a small wooden sword with the character "Shu" engraved on it.
"Ah, that's what you promised me back then!"
Hua Keshu happily accepted the wooden sword.
"Well, but don't misunderstand it as a token of love. Our human race doesn't have a tradition of giving such a thing as a gift to mean we're meant to be together..."
"Isn't it enough that we have it?"
"...Alright, just tell me already."
After all, from a long-term perspective, I still very much hope that you will become the Demon Emperor.
Yan Quan looked at the playful Hua Keshu and shook his head helplessly.
"Hmph, why are you doing this? You made me fall in love with you, but you won't marry me. What do you want? To make me your demon emperor's little lover?"
Hua Keshu squinted her beautiful eyes and chuckled. Seeing Yan Quan's extremely helpless expression, her mood finally improved a little.
"Take it what you want. You're not saying anything because Hu Yunxi's ranking is higher than yours right now, aren't you?"
Yan Quan retorted, "What do you mean by 'the Demon Emperor's little lover'?"
This makes me look like a real jerk...
"You!?... Hmph, so what if she is? I'll surpass her sooner or later."
What rank was she?
"Second... I think it should be fifty years, but I don't know if it has been approved yet."
I have some documents in my room; if you want to know these things, go look for them yourself.
Hua Keshu pouted and snorted unhappily, then picked up Yan Quan and walked towards her main room.
"I asked you what number you are... You wouldn't be tenth, would you?"
"Aren't there only ten candidates for Demon Emperor?"
Yan Quan entered Hua Keshu's main room and saw the messy documents on her desk. He smiled wryly.
"No, I'm not last place!"
"Second to last?"
Yan Quan spoke calmly, tidying up the documents on his desk, while Hua Keshu sat down next to him, looking at him resentfully.
"Hmm..."
"That's really true... It seems that it's because your strength is relatively weak that the other candidates for the throne dared to target you."
However, your act of secretly concealing your cultivation level... is commendable.
Yes, right!
I'm ninth not because I actually... didn't really want to..."
Hua Keshu spoke softly, and then gradually fell silent.
"I can't help it even if I don't want to, after all, I carry the hopes of the entire clan, and I also have such an outstanding older sister..."
Actually, you are very powerful. I think you have the ability to become a demon emperor.
The life you desire is not contradictory to becoming a demon emperor. Only by becoming powerful can you protect everything you cherish.
Otherwise, even the most beautiful things are in danger of being lost.
