However, with his mind now resolute, he quickly regained his senses and came to the bedside to gently wipe the fine sweat from Qiao Xueying's forehead.
Seemingly sensing his connection, Qiao Xueying slowly opened her eyes, a hint of shyness flashing in them: "Grandpa~"
"You're awake?" Zuan helped her tidy her messy hair. "Go back to sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep," Qiao Xueying shook her head, her bright eyes looking around. She was surprised when she saw the layout. "Is this really the Little Demon Queen's palace?"
Just now, she was still somewhat conscious, but she felt it was too unbelievable to be on the Little Demon Queen's bed, so she thought it was just a hallucination. But now that she saw the surrounding situation clearly, she was shocked to find that what she remembered seemed to be real.
Zuan nodded: "That's right, this is indeed the Little Demon Queen's place..."
Then he gave a brief account of how the Little Demon Queen saved them.
"Ah?" Qiao Xueying exclaimed in surprise, "Then doesn't that mean she saw everything we just did...?"
“She couldn’t see it. I sealed it with a magic spell and threw it under the bed at that time,” Zuan explained.
"What difference does it make!" Qiao Xueying groaned, shrinking into the blankets and refusing to come out, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.
The Gene Era
"Don't worry, she's the only one who knows about this. We're all in the same boat now, she won't tell anyone," Zu'an reassured him.
"But the thought of others seeing this shameful side of me is so embarrassing, it's enough to make me die of embarrassment," Qiao Xueying's muffled voice came from behind.
Zuan smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to be embarrassed. Even the Little Demon Queen has had embarrassing moments that you've caught her in."
"What?" Qiao Xueying poked half her head out from under the covers, her eyes blinking.
“You just pinched her…” Zuan whispered in her ear.
Qiao Xueying's face instantly turned bright red: "Ahhh, it's all your fault, I'm so embarrassed!"
Zuan tried his best to comfort her but failed. However, when the Little Demon Queen returned, she calmed down.
The little demon queen gave her a strange look: "Princess Snow is awake."
This little girl is slender, yet she was so wild and powerful just now.
Qiao Xueying had just finished dressing and, blushing, bowed to her, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Little Demon Queen."
They could only tacitly avoid mentioning what had just happened, pretending it had never occurred.
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was mainly him." The Little Demon Queen looked at Zu An with a half-smile.
Zu An coughed lightly, worried that Qiao Xueying would be embarrassed, and changed the subject, asking, "How is the Golden Crow Prince? Is he dead?"
"He's not dead, but he's half dead," the Little Demon Queen said with a strange expression. "You're ruthless. You actually smashed his lower body, trying to make him childless."
"That guy deserved it," Qiao Xueying said bitterly. The thought of almost being violated by him made her want to stab him herself.
Zu An said, "Then Your Majesty should thank me. The Demon Emperor will not pass the throne to a crown prince who is destined to have no heir. Among the remaining sons, the youngest prince is the legitimate son and is the most likely to inherit the throne."
The Little Demon Queen sighed: "It's not that simple. If you had really killed the Crown Prince just now, the young prince might have had a chance to succeed to the throne. But in the current situation, the throne still belongs to the Crown Prince."
"Why?" Zu'an asked in surprise. "Isn't he unmarried and childless?"
