As the daughter of the Demon King, she was clearly qualified to inherit the throne, but because she was a princess, the royal family preferred to consider Lu Yan rather than her. Over time, she vented her resentment on Lu Yan.
Unfortunately, that kid was lucky; he failed to kill her despite several attempts.
Lu Qinghe felt things were getting out of control. He had initially thought the Holy Maiden was insignificant, but now she was becoming increasingly formidable, especially since she was involved with ascended beings. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. "I will personally meet with this Holy Maiden."
Since Hu Jiu and Lu Yan arrived, An Ge has felt much more relaxed, but she doesn't dare to be a hands-off manager like before, since Hu Jiu will be going to the Divine Realm in the future.
Seeing An Ge's exhausted appearance, Hu Jiu said with concern, "Shall we summon all the divine servants?"
An Ge shook her head. "It's not the right time yet. Let's wait another two years or so. I'll move the headquarters here then. By the way, what about Lu Yan? He didn't go to the Holy Tower again, did he?"
Hu Jiu smiled mysteriously and said righteously, "He doesn't have time now. The Demon Clan is ultimately his, and he can't just be a hands-off manager. You should entrust him with all the less important things. After all, he's going to be king, and he needs to gain some experience."
Ever since Hu Jiu discovered that An Ge couldn't stay idle, he couldn't let Lu Yan have any free time. In his words, "Little Ge'er, an outsider, is working hard for the Demon Clan every day, and you, a Demon King, still have the nerve to play around?" It can be said that the more Hu Jiu felt sorry for An Ge, the more he exploited Lu Yan.
"Lu Yan is truly blessed to have a friend like you. But you're right, Lu Yan is still too inexperienced; I should give him more opportunities."
“I also think that we can leave these things to him. I will accompany you to tour the Demon Capital.”
The two unscrupulous guys were laughing in a particularly lewd way!
Lu Yan had just finished dealing with something and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Hu Jiu and An Ge appeared carrying a large number of official documents, ostensibly to give him a chance to gain experience.
He now deeply missed the leisurely days at the inn, but he also knew that he would bear the heavy responsibility of the demon race in the future. He could only accept it with tears in his eyes, his once adorable baby face contorted into a grimace. If outsiders were to see this, his noble image as a demon king would be utterly ruined.
In the capital city, An Ge and Hu Jiu, having made simple disguises, strolled slowly through the streets. Although they were supposed to be visiting the capital, the Demon Realm really didn't offer much to see. The decrees had only just begun to be implemented, and it would take at least a year or two to see results.
Hu Jiu didn't think so. When he came to the Demon Realm before, he could see several demons fighting every now and then, and bullying men and women was commonplace. Where was such a harmonious scene?
An Ge stated that this was achieved through forceful means. Dealing with demons requires more than just trickery and reasoning; in crucial moments, strength is what matters.
The two were about to find a small stall to rest when they suddenly felt a strong gaze upon them. The person, clearly not expecting to be caught peeping, smiled awkwardly, "I... I just thought you two had an extraordinary aura, so I glanced at you a few more times. I meant no harm."
An Ge's expression changed slightly, then she smiled. "You can see through our disguise?"
The other person nodded somewhat timidly, "I don't see through everything, but I can see things that others can't."
Hu Jiu laughed and said, "That's still very impressive."
"My name is He Qing. Both of you possess extraordinary bearing; I have never seen such figures in the capital."
Hu Jiu and An Ge just smiled and didn't answer him. He Qing felt a little awkward and finally made an excuse to leave.
As soon as He Qing left, An Ge's smile vanished. "He Qing, Qing He, this Second Prince doesn't even bother with pretense. He's just as good as the leader of Hope Base."
Hu Jiu had only felt that this person's aura was unsettling, but he hadn't expected that the other party was the second prince of the Demon Clan. "Is he Lu Qinghe?"
An Ge nodded. "He has an aura of death about him, and it's very strong. With that kind of power, plus his half-hearted use of a fake name, I can't think of anyone else but the Second Prince."
Just then, Xiao Qi suddenly cried out in her mind, "Master, that was a Chosen One. He used his divine spark to probe you as soon as he got close, so I didn't dare to make a sound."
An Ge's eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't it said that only one new Chosen One can descend upon a plane? He's much older than Yu Xinghe. If he's the Chosen One, how could Yu Xinghe possibly appear?"
"But I did sense the power of a god within him, though that power was strange, a mixture of resistance and obedience." Gods can sense each other, especially those who have cultivated to his level, he can sense the emotions of gods of lower rank to a certain extent.
"You'd better not show up while you're in the Demon Realm. If they find out, we'll lose the initiative."
"Sigh, this is the only way." He had finally waited for An Ge's spiritual power to stabilize and was preparing to find an opportunity to transform into human form when this happened.
After An Ge and Xiao Qi finished their conversation, Hu Jiu asked, "Is there something wrong with this Second Prince?"
"Hmm." An Ge told Hu Jiu about Lu Qinghe's identity, and then added somewhat dejectedly, "I'd rather the other party be a high-level demon king than face a chosen one. Could it be that this guy went to another plane before, which led to the arrival of Yu Xinghe, the chosen one?"
“It’s not impossible, but from your description, Lu Qinghe’s divine status seems more like it was forcibly implanted.”
An Ge gasped. "You mean the evil god organization is creating gods?"
"It's just suspicion, but we have to be careful. What I'm worried about is that the other party knows your identity, not only as a cultivator, but also as a chosen one of the gods." Hu Jiu frowned. He would never go to the God Realm unless the danger was eliminated.
"What's there to be afraid of? No matter what, the other party can't possibly exceed the limits of this Heavenly Dao. This is a higher plane, and Little Tiantian isn't as unreliable as that Heavenly Dao in the apocalyptic plane, right, Little Tiantian?"
With a "buzz," an electric current sound rang out in the sky.
An Ge smiled brightly, "Well done, little Tiantian."
Hu Jiu smiled helplessly. Xiao Ge'er is no longer the shop owner who only has him to rely on. If the evil god really causes trouble, she will have a bunch of helpers by her side.
While feeling disappointed, Hu Jiu also felt a sense of pride. Xiao Ge'er was becoming more and more amazing, and he couldn't fall behind.
Inside the Second Prince's residence, Lu Qinghe sneered, "This Holy Maiden is just an ordinary person, nothing to fear. Don't provoke her in the future, and there's no need to curry favor with her. It's not too late to deal with her after my great cause is accomplished."
Lu Sha's eyes lit up. "Second Brother, are you sure?"
"You don't trust me?"
"No, no, it's just that this Holy Maiden's talent in the cultivation world is too terrifying. I heard that she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the young age of twenty, which is why I have my doubts."
A flicker of jealousy flashed in the second prince's eyes. In this life, he hated those with exceptional talent more than anything. Fortunately, he was no longer the same person he once was!
But no matter how talented she is, it's useless. Sooner or later, he will take away the saintess's talent.
