As soon as Lord Hongyan finished speaking, Qingcheng and Qiyou, the two children, turned to look at him at the same time and said in unison, "How dare we ask Lord Hongyan what these two letters mean?!"
Although the tacit understanding between Qingcheng and Qiyou made Hongyan Shenjun unhappy again, he still frowned slightly and pointed out the problem he had discovered. He held the thin letter and said, "There is a trace of demonic energy on both of these letters that is about to dissipate. Didn't you notice it?"
As soon as he spoke, Qingcheng immediately took the letter from his hand and examined it. Qiyou did the same. However, perhaps because their cultivation levels were not as high as Hongyan Divine Lord's, it took them some time to sense that in addition to some demonic energy and Qiyou's aura, there was indeed a very faint trace of demonic energy on the letter!
"There really is one. Tsk, this demonic aura is too weak. If the Divine Lord hadn't discovered it and reminded us, we probably wouldn't have been able to detect it."
Qi You examined the letter and said, "But whose demonic energy is this? It's neither mine nor yours. Could it be that the witch was just here to deliver the letter, and the person who wrote it is the owner of the demonic energy?"
Qingcheng couldn't understand what was going on. Why would the witch let Qiyou go and then send her letters, two completely incomprehensible doodle letters at that?
He said, "What exactly is this witch trying to do? Sending letters like these is completely incomprehensible. Or is there some kind of code in these letters that needs to be cracked to understand them?"
As he spoke, Qingcheng fiddled with the letter for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Finally, he turned to Qiyou and said, "Tell me, you've been in the Demon Realm for so long, have you encountered any other strange things? The only thing you encountered was being rescued and receiving a letter?"
Qi You thought for a moment and said, "No, back then Tanlang always wanted to kill me. I don't know how he joined the Demon Realm, got the Demon Lord to take charge of him, and even gave him a position to lead troops."
"Then I can't figure it out. This demonic aura is too weak, and I can't tell whose it is."
After thinking it over, Qingcheng decided to ignore it. After all, Qiyou, whom he was most worried about, had returned safely, so he couldn't be bothered with anything else.
He put the two letters away and then said to Qiyou, "Forget about it for now. Tanlang has already sided with the Demon Realm, so it seems we won't be able to catch him for the time being. You should come back and deal with those traitors from the Snake Clan first."
Upon hearing this, Qi You asked, somewhat puzzled, "So we're just going to ignore Tan Lang like this? Aren't we going to get the Phoenix Essence Blood back?"
"The Phoenix Essence Blood belongs to our clan. To obtain its power, one must possess the bloodline of the Phoenix God Clan to unlock it. Therefore, even if Greed Wolf obtains the Phoenix Essence Blood, without someone of our clan's bloodline to help him unlock it, he is merely holding a pretty stone."
Knowing that Qi You was concerned about the Phoenix Essence Blood, Lord Hong Yan kindly explained to him why he didn't care about the Phoenix Essence Blood anymore.
He said, "Anyway, they can't activate the Phoenix Blood Essence for the time being, so there's no rush to find the treasure."
Upon hearing this answer, Qi You suddenly realized, but was also somewhat speechless. He said, "Oh dear, no wonder you're not in a hurry to retrieve the Phoenix Essence Blood anymore. So that's the reason. Why didn't you tell me sooner? That way I wouldn't have had to chase after it, and I wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Qingcheng felt a pang of sympathy for Qiyou when she thought of his injury. After all, they had been childhood friends and she had come to regard him as family. Qingcheng said, "Sigh, I didn't know that back then either. The Divine Lord only told me about it recently."
Lord Hongyan, standing to the side, said with a hint of guilt, "Actually, I only recently remembered this matter."
After learning that the Phoenix Blood Essence was of little use to ordinary demons, Qi You began to hunt down the traitors of the Snake Clan. As he left the Demon King's palace, he pretended to complain to Qingcheng, "Demon King, I think there have been many rebellions lately. Is it because of our Demon King? Otherwise, why would they be thinking about rebellion every day?"
"What kind of ridiculous reason is this? I haven't done anything wrong, so why would they rebel?"
Qingcheng naturally denied this claim, adding, "Since I ascended the throne, I have introduced so many wonderful things from the human world, and I have done a very good job as a wise ruler."
Qi You laughed when she heard his rebuttal: "That makes sense, but I'm afraid some people might misunderstand and think that the King is doing all this just to have fun."
Qingcheng, who originally intended to use the human world's technology for her own amusement: "..."
