"Mother…?!"

Upon hearing the voice, Long Yao was immediately overjoyed and quickly turned around to follow the sound.

A vague female figure emerged from the dark shadow in the corner behind him.

"Mom, you finally came to see me!"

Long Yao couldn't wait to run to the black shadow and said with joy.

At this moment, the cruel Dragon Emperor who was feared by countless people in the demon world was as happy as a little girl who had seen her parents after a long time.

"Mom, look~!"

"This is what I drew for you, what do you think...?"

Long Yao turned around and pointed at a portrait of a woman painted in blood behind the Demon Emperor's throne.

The woman in the picture has a dignified posture and a gentle and kind temperament, just like a mother of the country.

However, the blood on the woman's body, which had not yet dried, slowly slid down the wall, and her eyes and mouth seemed to be flowing with blood, which looked extremely weird and terrifying...

“Hmm~!”

“The painting is very good~!”

"Mom, I love it!"

The woman hidden in the shadows looked up, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth in the darkness, and she stretched out her pale white hand to gently stroke Long Yao's head.

Long Yao squinted her eyes happily like a little girl, stretching her neck to enjoy the woman's touch.

"Long Yao, how is the matter that mom asked you to do going?"

The woman in the darkness asked gently.

Hearing this, Long Yao's expression instantly became panic-stricken, and he repeatedly assured:

"Mom, I will finish what you told me to do very quickly...!"

"Now, the only remaining demons in the demon world are those damned guys in the south who are still resisting!"

"I will kill them all soon and unify the demon world!"

"Then, according to your wishes, mother, let my demon race descend upon other realms and flatten the six realms!"

"Let's create a beautiful world with only monsters together with you, mom!"

As he spoke, Long Yao opened his arms, his face full of excitement and expectation, full of longing for the future.

However, the woman in the darkness frowned, changed her gentle and kind tone, and asked with a little dissatisfaction:

"So... you haven't completed what I asked you to do...?"

Hearing the woman's cold and blaming tone, Long Yao's expression suddenly became more panicked, even terrified.

"Mom, yes, I'm sorry...!"

"It's all the fault of that useless pig demon clan!"

"I will personally kill all those who disobey me right away!"

"Complete what you told me to do right away, mom!"

"Mom, please don't hate Long Yao!"

Long Yao knelt on the ground, holding the woman's hands tightly with both hands, and pleaded pitifully.

"Silly child, how could mom blame you~"

"You are my mother's child~"

The woman gently stroked Long Yao's face, and her tone turned gentle and kind again.

"Mother…"

Long Yao's eyes were filled with tears and he happily leaned against the woman.

Sure enough, her mother is the best person in the world...

"Long Yao, Mom heard what the guard said just now."

"There's a demon king coming from the south, right?"

"Yes... that's what he just said."

When Long Yao turned around to find the guard who delivered the message to confirm, she found that the man was only a pile of minced meat left on the ground...

She was so angry just now that she accidentally killed someone again...

"Don't worry, mom!"

"I will personally kill the demon king in a moment! Kill all those who disobey me!"

Long Yao turned around and spoke to the woman confidently.

As long as it's for her mother, she can do anything!

"So good~"

"Mom, it's great to have Long Yao here~"

The woman smiled slightly and praised Long Yao softly again.

"Long Yao is also very happy to have her mother around!"

Long Yao couldn't wait to reply happily.

"Long Yao, you have this kind heart. Mom is very happy~"

"But Long Yao, you are no match for that Demon Lord..."

The woman stroked Long Yao gently and said with a look of regret on her face.

"No!"

"Long Yao is the strongest!"

"For my mother, Long Yao will definitely be able to kill that demon king!"

When Long Yao heard this, she became unhappy and made a promise to the woman anxiously.

"Of course Mom knows that Long Yao is very strong."

"But mom doesn't want you to take any risks, Long Yao~"

The woman in the darkness leaned over and spoke gently to Long Yao's face.

"Mother…"

Long Yao was so moved that she vowed to kill the Demon Lord for her mother!

It is also to prove her strength to her mother!

"Long Yao, Mommy has something more important to ask of you, okay~?"

The woman asked Long Yao softly.

"Just say it, Mom!"

"Long Yao will definitely do it!"

Long Yao responded happily without hesitation.

As long as I do things for my mother, she will be very happy!

Because this will make her appear useful to her mother and she can also get her mother's reward of caress!

The woman in the darkness raised her lips slightly and said softly:

"Long Yao, the demon lord has a two-year-old girl. Can you bring her here for her mother?"

"If it were you, you should be able to complete it for mom, right~?"

"Little girl...?"

In the past, whenever a woman asked him to do something, Long Yao would happily agree without hesitation and complete it as quickly as possible.

But this time, Long Yao rarely agreed immediately, but said hesitantly:

"Mom, you already have Long Yao by your side..."

"Why do you want to bring that little girl back...?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"I just asked you to bring the little girl back, but I didn't allow you to talk too much!"

"If you don't like it, forget it!"

"Mom, I'm so disappointed in you!"

The woman in the darkness stared at Long Yao at her feet with an unhappy look on her face. As she spoke, she turned around and left into the darkness. Her cold words did not have any of the gentleness she had just had.

"No, don't go mom!"

"Long Yao is wrong! Long Yao is wrong!"

"Long Yao won't ask anymore!"

"Long Yao will bring that little girl to her mother right away!"

Seeing that the woman was about to leave angrily, Long Yao became anxious and quickly grabbed the woman's arm and begged.

She only has her mother by her side...

She can't lose her mother...!

Looking at Long Yao's panicked and anxious appearance, the woman's mouth corners curled up secretly, squatted down and said gently:

"Long Yao, what mom said just now was just angry words~"

"Don't blame mom."

"Mom loves you the most, Long Yao~"

"Yes! Long Yao knows!"

"Long Yao will definitely not let her mother down!"

Long Yao nodded happily in response.

"Mom, my body has been aching more and more lately..."

"Can you stay with Long Yao tonight and accompany her...?"

Long Yao raised his head, looked at the woman expectantly and asked.

"Long Yao, Mommy has other things to do and cannot be with you."

"But when you, Long Yao, bring that little girl here, Mom will always be with you, Long Yao~"

The woman touched Long Yao's head for the last time, left a few words, and gradually disappeared into the darkness...

Long Yao sat alone on the ground, looking forlornly into the darkness, revealing his hideous arms covered in black spots and bleeding, and murmured pitifully:

"But mom, Long Yao is in so much pain..."

"Just want to be by your side..."
