After Luo Ruying and others left, Long Yao fixed his gaze on the ointment left in front of him.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand, but stopped just before touching the ointment.

After hesitating for a moment, Long Yao's expression turned ruthless. He gritted his teeth and overturned all the ointments in front of him.

She doesn't need these things!

As long as mom is there, it’s enough!

Long Yao endured the severe pain from the broken bones and struggled to slowly get up from the ground, dragging his seriously injured body slowly towards the Demon Emperor Capital.

Unable to fly, nor able to walk normally, he could only move forward bit by bit.

After falling down, he would get up again, and the same pattern would repeat over and over again.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky was covered in darkness and heavy rain poured down.

Long Yao struggled to walk in the heavy rain. Her whole body was already soaked by the rain. The raindrops hit the wounds on her body, making her feel even more painful.

His feet slipped on the muddy road and he fell to the ground.

A fairy fruit fell from his arms and rolled to the ground.

That was one of the ones Luo Hongye gave her to eat before...

"Mother…"

Long Yao lay in the mud, not knowing whether it was rain or tears flowing down her cheeks, and she murmured softly.

After resting in the mud for a while, Long Yao looked up at the fairy fruit that had fallen in front of him, slowly reached out his hand and grabbed it, then struggled to climb out of the mud.

Now the only thing that keeps her going and forgetting all the pain in her body is the belief that she will see her mother again...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Long Yao successfully dragged his body back to the gate of the Demon Emperor's Capital.

At this time, the gates of the Emperor Demon City, which should have been on wartime alert, were wide open, and no one could be seen outside the city walls or the city gates.

Long Yao walked into the Imperial Demon City. The huge Imperial Demon City was empty, silent, and desolate...

Humph, they all ran away...

They all betrayed her!

Long Yao showed a self-deprecating smile on his muddy face, and continued to drag his body towards the Demon Emperor's Palace.

When climbing up the stairs leading to the palace, a tall figure wearing dragon armor stood tall at the palace entrance waiting.

Seeing that Long Yao was seriously injured and in such a miserable state, Long Chen was shocked and hurriedly walked down the stairs and came to Long Yao's side.

"Lord Dragon Emperor, what's wrong with you?"

Long Chen stretched out his hand, wanting to support Long Yao, but was pushed away by Long Yao with a strong palm.

“Don’t come near me!”

"It's just some minor injuries on my body..."

"What about the people in the city...?"

Long Yao stared firmly at the palace on the steps in front of her and asked coldly to Long Chen beside her.

Long Chen is the chief leader of the dragon demon clan and the only capable subordinate left among her five major clans.

"Everyone in the city learned that the southern clan was about to attack, and they all fled the city."

Long Chen followed beside Long Yao and replied.

"Hmph... If I had known it would be like this..."

"What an unreliable bunch!"

Long Yao showed a disdainful expression as if he had known this would happen, and with a cold expression, he warned in a cold voice:

"Pass on my order, let everyone in the tribe assemble!"

"I won't give up so easily!"

She still has her mother, and her mother is very strong!

We will definitely be able to kill the Demon Lord and all the people from the Southern Clan!

Long Chen looked thoughtful, then said calmly:

"Lord Dragon Emperor, all the members of the Dragon Demon Clan have already left..."

Hearing this, Long Yao paused and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Even her clansmen all betrayed her...!

"Ha ha ha ha…!"

"Then why are you still here? Get out of here!"

"You're going to leave sooner or later anyway!"

Long Yao suddenly laughed out loud, with a hint of ruthlessness on her face, and pushed Long Chen away.

She figured it out, she didn't need anyone!

Those people will betray her in the end anyway!

All she needs is her mother!

"I swear to be loyal to you forever and will stay by your side till the end, Lord Dragon Emperor!"

Long Chen looked at Long Yao's lonely and embarrassed back as he disappeared into the palace. He stood at the gate of the palace and bowed slightly before speaking.

He had followed Long Yao for more than two hundred years and witnessed how she killed countless people and became the leader of the dragon demon clan.

Witnessed how she killed the previous Demon Emperor and ascended the throne of Demon Emperor step by step.

We also witnessed her tyranny and cruelty after she became the Demon Emperor, causing chaos in the demon world...

He knew that he couldn't convince Long Yao, and he didn't know how to correct her mistakes. He could only stay by her side silently until the end...

Even though he already knew the inevitable end he would face...

…

“Mom…Mom…!”

In the dark and silent palace, Long Yao shouted eagerly with full of expectation.

Now her only hope is her mother.

After shouting hysterically for several times without any response, Long Yao's face showed anxiety and despair.

Did even her mother leave her?

Fortunately, at this moment, the voice that Long Yao had been waiting for for a long time sounded from the darkness.

"Long Yao, you're back?"

"Mom! I'm back!"

Regardless of his injuries, Long Yao couldn't wait to come to the woman in the dark.

However, there was no concern or greeting that Long Yao expected, only a cold question:

"Where are the children?"

"Mom, I, I couldn't bring that child back..."

Long Yao lowered his head and said with a look of self-blame and shame.

From the very beginning, the Demon Lord had discovered her identity. Whether she was willing or not, it was destined that she could not take Luo Hongye away.

The woman in the dark heard this, sighed in disappointment, and then swung her palm!

“Bang!”

Long Yao was slapped away, the fairy fruit in her hand rolled to the ground, and she fell heavily to the ground, covering her face with an expression of disbelief.

This was the first time her mother hit her...

Compared to the pain in my body, I feel even more distressed in my heart...

The woman slowly walked out of the darkness, revealing a charming face covered with various colored demonic patterns and the characteristics of various demonic beast clans.

The woman had six different demonic eyes, a sharp dragon horn on her forehead, fish scales and dragon scales on her face, long pointed ears, and a few wisps of white feathers standing behind her ears, like a combination of countless clans.

Yaohuo crushed the fairy fruit in front of Long Yao with one foot, and stared at Long Yao with disappointment on his face.

"Long Yao, Mom is so disappointed in you!"

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

Long Yao lowered his head and apologized self-reproachfully.

Looking at the crushed fairy fruit, a trace of pity flashed through Long Yao's heart.

That was what Luo Hongye gave her, and she was reluctant to eat it...

Yao Huo sighed lightly, slowly squatted down, spit out a black pill from his mouth and handed it to Long Yao, and said gently:

"But I can't blame you. After all, the Demon Lord is too powerful. I don't blame you for not being able to bring the child back~"

"You must be in pain right now, right~?"

"Come, take this pill and I'll lend you my strength~"

"Soon, you won't feel any pain anymore~"

“Thank you, Mom…!”

Long Yao showed gratitude and joy on his face, and swallowed the black pill without any hesitation.

Sure enough, my mother still cares about her...
