“The Golden Crow royal family has a strong physical body and also possesses the heaven-defying skill of the Golden Crow Sacred Flame, which has a powerful regenerative ability,” the Little Demon Queen explained. “Although you blasted his lower body to pieces, he has the Golden Crow Sacred Flame, and with the help of the Demon Emperor’s divine sense, he has gradually recovered from his injuries. When I went to check on him just now, he was almost…almost regenerating his limbs.”
She hesitated for a moment before finding a suitable adjective.
Zuan's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment: "That thing can regenerate even after being smashed? Does that mean it's impossible to kill? Why doesn't it just fly to the heavens?"
The Little Demon Queen smiled and said, "Of course it's not an infinite recovery. There's definitely a limit. You almost reached his limit this time. Also, although he managed to regenerate his severed limbs with the help of the Demon Emperor, it's definitely not as good as before. At most, he's barely usable. He must hate you to death."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. That's more like it. If he had known that the Golden Crow Prince was acting like nothing had happened, he would have been furious.
"Let's go, it's dawn now. I'll see you out of the palace," the little demon queen said, rising to her feet.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "What if we get discovered? We won't have anywhere to run away from then on."
"The Golden Crow Guards searched the palace all night but couldn't find it. They're exhausted and most relaxed right now." As the Little Demon Queen spoke, a look of majesty and arrogance suddenly appeared on her face. "Besides, who would dare to really come and investigate my carriage?"
Zu An looked strange. "Yesterday, didn't those Golden Crow Guards come in to investigate your palace? They almost pulled off your blankets!"
However, since the other party was so confident, he chose to believe them. After all, the Demon Emperor was stationed in the palace, and it would be uneasy for him to stay here.
Then the Little Demon Queen found a carriage, which was the same one that Zuan had seen outside the city gate. She opened a mechanism on the seat, revealing a space inside that was big enough for someone to hide in.
It would have been difficult for two people to fit inside, but fortunately, Qiao Xueying was petite and slender, so she could barely squeeze in.
"You actually have such a space under your seat?" Zu An's expression was somewhat strange, and he hesitated to speak.
"Did you think I often brought wild men in and out of the palace with this? Hmph, do you think the Demon Emperor is just for show?" The little demon queen glared at him. "I was just doing this as a precaution, but I didn't expect it to actually come in handy now."
Seeing his silence, the little demon queen laughed and said, "What, do you think you're such a man that you don't want a woman like me to sit on top of you?"
Zuan had just heard Xue'er's voice transmission, reminding him to be careful. This little demon queen was known among the demon race for being as beautiful as a peach blossom but as ruthless as a snake. He was warned to be careful of what trap she might have set in the carriage.
So he was secretly checking this space for any traps or mechanisms, lest the other party lure him into a trap.
Fortunately, apart from some magic arrays that isolated auras, there was nothing else around the upper wall, so he laughed and said, "There are countless men in this world who wish to have the Empress sit on top of them..."
Upon hearing this, he suddenly froze. He was truly wronged; that wasn't what he meant, yet the way he said it had a hint of flirtation.
The meaning.
The little demon queen's cheeks also flushed slightly. Realizing that her words had also been ambiguous, she chuckled and said, "You brat, you really are audacious enough to take advantage of me."
Qiao Xueying pinched him secretly. This guy dared to flirt with this femme fatale. Wasn't he afraid that she would devour him until there wasn't even a bone left?
The little demon queen noticed her jealous behavior and was somewhat surprised. It seemed that the two of them had a better relationship than she had imagined.
Then the little demon queen led the two of them openly out of the palace, with the sounds of palace servants greeting and paying their respects coming from time to time. Sure enough, no one dared to investigate.
However, they were stopped at the palace gate, and a general asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"
Zu An's heart skipped a beat; this person's voice belonged to Ma Tian, the Left Guard General he had encountered when he entered the palace.
"Do I need to report to General Ma where I am going?" The little demon queen's voice was still charming, but her tone was full of coldness.
"This humble servant dares not." Ma Tian was also sweating profusely. It was all because of that idiot Niu Dao who insisted on barging into the Little Demon Queen's palace yesterday, making her so angry.
"If you dare not, then get out of the way!" the little demon queen said coldly.
“This…” Ma Tian hesitated. “Your Majesty, there has just been an assassination attempt in the palace. It may not be safe to leave the palace now.”

"My cultivation is more than enough to protect myself, and besides, this is in the royal court, and the Demon Emperor is still here. Who would dare to lay a hand on me?" The little demon queen said this with a strange sense of guilt. Last night, she was subdued by that guy and forced to eavesdrop all night, which made her feel sticky and uncomfortable. After seeing them off, she needs to go back and take a good bath.
Upon hearing this, Ma Tian inwardly scoffed. Yesterday, that assassin had even targeted the Crown Prince.
"What, General Ma, do you also want to search my carriage?" The little demon queen's voice was already filled with anger.
"This humble servant wouldn't dare. I was only worried about Your Majesty's safety." Ma Tian thought about how that fool Niu Dao had broken into the Little Demon Queen's palace yesterday and found nothing. Afterwards, not only would the Little Demon Queen retaliate, but even once the Demon Emperor finished his work, he wouldn't let him off the hook. How could he repeat the same mistake? As he spoke, he stepped aside, "Respectfully seeing Your Majesty off!"
The little demon queen snorted and waved her hand, signaling the caravan to continue its journey.
After leaving the palace, the Little Demon Queen found a secluded place and released Zu An and the other man: "Take good care of your lives during this time. I hope you won't be dead when I look for you again."
