Mingmei has very few memories of coming to the Demon Realm as a child, but the feeling she gets here isn't too bad.
In the far north, there is a defensive formation specially set up by the demon race, which isolates the inside from the outside world. Once you enter the formation, the colors of the sky and earth change.
The lush plants growing around her were all things she didn't recognize.
As Mingmei looked at everything before her, a sense of familiarity gradually welled up in her heart.
Mei Shi's arrival was a grand event for the demon race. Even demons who had been traveling abroad for many years rushed back, some of whom brought along friends they had met while traveling.
Walking along the central avenue of the far north city, Mingmei watched the bustling crowd of demons lining both sides of the street. Seeing them all looking at her—oh, at the person embracing her—Mingmei felt a surge of pride and excitement.
These people witnessed the glory days of their parents.
Mingmei couldn't help but recall the magnificent scene when her brother reappeared in the empire; they were creating their own miracles in different eras.
When her heart was filled with emotions, Mingmei spotted an unexpected figure in the crowd!
Wearing a light blue robe and a black cloak, Xie Chenming could only see half of the other person's face, but even that half-face was enough to make her nervous!
Why is this person here?
Mingmei's expression darkened as she looked at Xie Chen, who was wearing a black cloak on the outside of the crowd.
"That's because of love, of course!"
Gui Gui was also very excited to see Xie Chen. She didn't sense anything unusual about her host. Instead, she actively promoted the touching story of her and Mu Chen over the past six months.
As a result, after talking for a long time, Gui Gui did not show the emotion that Ming Mei had imagined. Instead, her face was ashen, as if she was suffering from some great trouble.
You mean, this person is Mu Chen?
Mingmei frowned, being held by her mother. She even rubbed her eyes with her hand, then looked at the place where the figure had disappeared into the crowd, and was momentarily stunned.
But I don't think that person is Mu Chen.
Mingmei instinctively rejected the conclusion. Even if she forgot her reunion with Mu Chen time and time again because of the game's settings, she would not say that her terrible memory prevented her from recognizing Mu Chen when he stood in front of her.
[He gave me a strange feeling; he wasn't A-Chen.]
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the more Mingmei thought about it, the more she felt that what she had just seen was not Mu Chen.
"Do you think his body might be taken away by Xie Chen again?" Gui Gui's heart skipped a beat as she voiced a bold idea.
It had never considered this possibility before. In addition, every time Mu Chen and Ming Mei reunited and recognized each other, the other party never expressed any indication that he was not from this world, nor did he reveal the true relationship between Ming Mei and him!
Could it be that there really is something inside Mu Chen's body that's been watching him all along, and that it might come out at any moment?
[Perhaps you're mistaken, host? How could he be in Demon Realm when he was perfectly fine at the Butian Sect? The Butian Sect Master wouldn't agree to that, would he?]
[If I was wrong, then Gui Gui, were you wrong too?]
Now that she was being asked the question, Gui Gui didn't know what to say.
The host saw it, and it saw it too; it wouldn't mistake that familiar face under the cloak.
However, thinking about it now, her overall demeanor was completely different from Mu Chen's.
If this really isn't Mu Chen himself, then the person controlling this body appearing here is probably up to no good.
100%!
Gui Gui and Ming Mei discussed it for a moment, their vigilance rising. Ming Mei then looked around at the crowd, hoping to find that person again, but she couldn't find him anymore.
However, during this process, Mingmei did not expect to see several unexpected people.
Lu Xiaoyao, Julian, and several other players stood in the crowd on one side of the street, while on the other side, Mingmei saw Lou Jia and Lu Gui dressed in demonic cultivator attire.
"Oh my god... that's not..."
Lu Xiaoyao, who was watching Mingmei's family leave from the crowd, spotted Lu Gui in the opposite crowd at a glance.
Lu Gui naturally spotted Lu Xiaoyao at a glance. Before Lu Xiaoyao could react with surprise at seeing him standing there, he had already quickly turned around and left.
Lu Xiaoyao almost burst into tears in front of so many people because of her guilty conscience, but Julian noticed in time and pulled her back.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Upon receiving Lu Xiaoyao's message, Julian and other players from Linjing City also heard the news and were planning to come here.
When Lu Xiaoyao found out, she joined in, but Zhen Po was not among them.
Julian was just marveling at how different the environment of the demons' lives was from the outside world when he suddenly sensed movement from Lu Xiaoyao behind him. He turned around and caught Lu Xiaoyao, who was about to call for help with her mouth wide open.
"I just...saw my brother." Lu Xiaoyao blinked, making sure she wasn't mistaken, and stared at Julian as if talking to herself, saying, "Do you think my brother is a good person or a bad person?"
"I don't know." Julian glanced at Lu Xiaoyao and the black nameplate hanging from his waist, then lowered his voice and said, "In any case, we didn't get in through any legitimate means. Don't expose yourself unless absolutely necessary."
"I know."
And Lu, who was trying to avoid Lu Xiaoyao, was soon found by Lou Jia, who had just gotten separated from him.
What are you doing? Why are you wandering around as soon as you come in?
Lou Jia had informed Lu Gui about this matter in advance. Given his status in the Hehuan Palace, he naturally possessed insightful knowledge. He also shared the information they had discovered about the Zerg with Lu Gui.
This Zerg player seems to have acquired some kind of identity in the game, and appears to be connected to the Demon race.
Lou Jia and the disciples of Hehuan Palace had captured the insect-shaped evil spirit alive before. However, due to a moment of carelessness, the crazed evil spirit rampaged through Hehuan Palace and ended up in the hands of Palace Master Qingmian.
Qingmian naturally noticed that something was wrong.
It was then that Lou Jia learned that the methods used to modify these evil spirits were related to forbidden techniques that the demon race had long abandoned.
As Lou Jia had expected, Lu Gui also came after the news reached them.
So, Lou Jia helped Lu Gui get the identity of a disciple of the Hehuan Palace and enter the palace. But as soon as he entered, he lost his identity. Luckily, Qing Mian was not there. If he were, he would have discovered Lu Gui's imposter immediately!
He'll inevitably suffer the consequences.
Just moments ago, when he couldn't find Lu Gui, Lou Jia had already planned how he would shift the blame and escape if Lu Gui were discovered.
