Perhaps a hundred years is a short time for Lu Yan and others, but she has only lived less than thirty years in her past and present lives combined, so the next hundred years will not be easy for her.
However, An Ge quickly cheered up. She still had many things to do in the next hundred years, and as long as she was busy, time would pass quickly.
Soon, news spread among the demons that Lu Yan, the grandson of the emperor who had once left the demon realm, had returned, his strength reaching the level of a demon king, and that he had a good relationship with the Holy Maiden. Some demons who had bullied him in the past were on edge, fearing retaliation.
Knowing he was a half-demon, Lu Yan was prepared to face all the doubts and accusations. Then he discovered that most demons didn't care at all whether he was a pure-blooded demon or not, but rather discussed whether he could become a qualified successor.
If he hadn't seen the guilty expressions on the faces of the demons who had bullied him, he would have thought that he was just like any other member of the royal family, and that his departure was just a long trip.
Lu Yan looked at An Ge in surprise. He knew that An Ge was respected by the demons, but now it seemed that it was more than just respect; she was practically their absolute authority.
However, Lu Yan showed no mercy to those enemies who had bullied him in the past. He even went so far as to storm their residences and turn the entire royal family upside down.
The royal family, suffering retribution, sought help from An Ge, only to be dismissed with a nonchalant, "Don't bother me with such trivial royal grudges." In the end, the demons had no choice but to continue trying to appease Lu Yan.
It was thought that the capital would be engulfed in bloodshed, but unexpectedly, Lu Yan only took revenge on a few demons before gradually withdrawing his forces.
"When did you become so generous?"
Lu Yan shrugged. "Those are all insignificant demons, and I've had my revenge. The ones who really bullied me are the Second Prince and his cronies, but they're not in the capital right now, so there's no use in me taking action."
"Now that you're back, the Second Prince's faction shouldn't be sitting still, right?"
Lu Yan gave a cold laugh, "I'd like to see what progress this good second uncle has made since he sided with the evil god?"
The day before Lu Yan was to take the Demon God Power Test, Hu Jiu finally arrived in the Demon Realm. Looking at An Ge, who was completely different from before, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.
An Ge smiled and said to Hu Jiu, "My lord, are you tempted by such a beautiful witch like me? Would you like to come back to the Holy Maiden Palace with me?"
Hu Jiu smiled indulgently, "I'm willing to rid myself of the mortal realm for you!"
Having become an immortal, Hu Jiu exuded an ethereal aura. When he smiled, everything around him paled in comparison. An Ge's heart pounded uncontrollably. "You're so beautiful, I suddenly feel reluctant to let you go to the Divine Realm first. If some fairy were to steal you away, I would suffer a great loss."
"Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river." Hu Jiu himself couldn't say when he decided on An Ge. Maybe it was a connection from their childhood, or maybe it was her seemingly indifferent attitude towards everything, but her soft and gentle heart attracted him.
But once a nine-tailed fox has chosen someone, it's for life, as steadfast as a rock. Apart from An Ge, no woman, no matter how beautiful, can catch his eye.
An Ge was quite reassured about Hu Jiu's male virtues. Just as she was about to offer some praise, she heard Hu Jiu say quietly, "I'm a little worried that another Feng Jinghan or Chi Mu will come along."
"Heh, that's ancient history, you really like to bring up old grievances! I'm currently shouldering the heavy responsibility of building up the Demon Clan, I'm too busy to think about anything else."
"Um?"
"No, no, even if I had the time, I wouldn't think about anything else. 'Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a mere stream!'" An Ge said earnestly, almost as if she were swearing an oath to the heavens. Seeing the smile in Hu Jiu's eyes, she felt somewhat deflated.
He clearly intended to make a few sarcastic remarks about Hu Jiu, but ended up digging a hole for himself and falling into it.
A figure resembling an immortal suddenly appeared in the Saintess Palace, and his seemingly close relationship with the Saintess naturally attracted the attention of the Demon Clan. Just as Hu Jiu was worried that An Ge's identity would be exposed, he overheard the Demon Clan discussing this.
"So this is the kind of man Her Highness likes. He doesn't seem to be a demon, does he? It's surprising that no demon became Her Highness's first love interest. Those demons who consider themselves beautiful are really pathetic."
“I think you’re just jealous. Young Master Hu is so handsome. Your Highness has such good taste,” a witch said.
"You witches actually like these pretty boys?"
"Are you questioning Her Highness's taste?"
"No, no, no, I'm not! Don't talk nonsense! Actually, that young master, that Bai, really does look quite good. Your Highness has good taste."
Hearing the discussion, An Ge laughed so hard she almost fell over. Hu Jiu looked at her helplessly, accepting his sudden role as the Holy Maiden's gigolo quite well.
"They said something wrong. What do you mean by 'first male concubine'? It should be 'only male concubine'."
Hearing Hu Jiu's words, An Ge laughed even louder.
Lu Yan's bloodline test was highly anticipated. Although his return did not initially attract much attention from the demons, the strength he displayed when taking revenge on the royal family surprised the entire demon race.
Although there had been rumors for a long time, everyone was still very excited to see the birth of the Demon King. Their demon race had finally seen another Demon King after ten thousand years!
The difference between a Demon Lord and a Demon King is vast, though seemingly minor. Advancing from Demon Lord to Demon King requires not only time but also the power of one's bloodline. In other words, the highest achievement for an ordinary demon is that of a Demon Lord, while only royal demons have the potential to reach that level.
This is why, despite the demon race's emphasis on strength, there is still the concept of a royal family.
Under the watchful eyes of all demons, An Ge mobilized the power of the demon god and bestowed it upon Lu Yan.
The moment he received the power of the demon god, Lu Yan felt his blood boiling. The immense power made him roar to the sky. With a roar, the world changed color. The last time he saw such a scene was when the demon god descended.
The demons trembled with fear. After waiting for a long time without seeing the demon god descend, they were just about to breathe a sigh of relief when they felt a powerful pressure coming from the altar.
Under the influence of the Demon God's power, Lu Yan directly advanced from a second-tier Demon King to a seventh-tier Demon King. Don't underestimate this seemingly minor advancement; at his level, advancing even a small tier might take hundreds of years.
The old demon king, seeing the increasingly striking resemblance in appearance to his third son and his extraordinary talent, was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
"Feng'er, your son has become so outstanding. I'm so sorry!" If he hadn't strongly opposed Lu Qingfeng being with that human, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
After Lu Yan returned to the Demon Clan, he did not come to see him. Even when he took the initiative to see him, he was turned away. He knew that Lu Yan was angry.
However, the fact that the Demon Clan can be handed over to Lu Yan in the future is a good thing for Feng'er.
Just then, Lu Yan's appearance changed. His originally red hair turned purple, and his eyes changed from red to purple, making him look noble and mysterious.
