"I can't help it, she's just too charming," Zuan replied casually. Sensing the hidden anger in the three women's eyes, he quickly changed his words, "She saved my life before, so of course I have to save her too."
"A life-saving grace?" Yun Jianyue looked suspicious, unable to connect the elven princess with Zuan.
“Actually, Sister Yan should know this Snow Princess,” Zu An explained.
"I know him?" Yan Xuehen was taken aback, her face full of confusion.
"She used to be a maid in Chu Yan's household in Mingyue City. She was a spy sent by the Shi family in the capital to infiltrate..." Zu An recounted the events of that time.
The First Clan
"So it was her." Yan Xuehen nodded slightly, having heard her disciple mention her before.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jianyue exclaimed in admiration, "This little girl is truly intelligent and brave. At such a young age, she endured humiliation and hardship among the human race and finally succeeded in rescuing her people. If I had met her earlier, I would have taken her as my disciple."
"You were hiding in the palace all night? With the Demon Emperor in charge, how come you weren't discovered?" Yu Yanluo was more concerned about this matter.
"Speaking of which, we owe it all to the Little Demon Queen. Our judgment of her was correct; she was indeed not on the same side as the Crown Prince..." Zu An recounted how the Little Demon Queen saved them.
"You stayed in the Little Demon Queen's palace for one night?" The three goddesses looked at each other strangely. This guy really attracts all sorts of suitors from head to toe.
"Ahem, she just wanted to deal with the Crown Prince," Zu'an had no choice but to explain.
The three women, considering the Little Demon Queen's identity, didn't think much of it and quickly started talking about what had just happened. Yu Yanluo said, "I'm so grateful for your friends' help just now, otherwise I might have been arrested and interrogated."
“I just told you I have good interpersonal relationships, but you didn’t believe me,” Zuan laughed twice, and then said, “Now that all the tribes in the royal court have gathered, and with the Great Golden Roc King, the Elf King, and the Peacock King all having accidents one after another, everyone in the tribe is in danger, and the situation is very tense. The Crown Prince’s side does not dare to make any rash moves.”
“This royal court may seem calm, but beneath lies a turbulent undercurrent,” Yu Yanluo said solemnly. “By the way, before you returned, our various races were actually discussing the All-Race Conference three days from now.”
"The Grand Assembly of All Races?" Zu'an was taken aback.
Yu Yanluo explained, "The demon race has many races under its command. This time, it's unprecedented that all races have been invited. There will definitely be a meeting. Apart from some formalities, the most practical thing is that the representative seats of each race will be decided at the meeting."
"Representative seats?" Yan Xuehen asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yun Jianyue was quite clear about these things: "Although the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race has supreme power, he does not manage everything. Daily affairs and policies between races are often proposed and voted on by representatives of each race. Powerful races have more representative seats, while weak races often only have one representative seat. Winning over representatives of each race is often a very important thing. Just like when Yu Yanluo invited people from those small and medium-sized races to come and discuss, it was actually part of the process of winning them over."
Yu Yanluo nodded: "That's right. Each race's chieftain comes with one representative seat, and the other seats need to be earned. At most, there can be three more seats. At its peak, the snake race had three seats, but unfortunately, after my mother's accident, the snake race declined and now only retains one seat in name. Therefore, they have basically no say in the internal affairs of the demon race."
"How do you fight for it yourself?" Zuan asked curiously.
"In the demon race, the strong are naturally respected. Every time the demon emperor is replaced, there is a new competition for the representative positions. Those who are confident in their ability to compete for a position can sign up. Many weaker races know they have no chance, so they simply don't register."
Participation is possible, though the occasional genius might emerge. However, in most cases, the competition for representative spots is a game between the most powerful races.
Zu An's expression was strange: "Since it's such a coincidence, then help me register too, and I'll help you get a spot later."
Yu Yanluo said with some worry, "These are turbulent times, and the Golden Crow Guard is looking for you everywhere. It's better not to."
“Precisely because I’m wanted by the whole world, I’m going to do the opposite. No one will expect me to show up so openly, and my identity as Yanzu will be confirmed,” Zu’an replied.
“That’s a brilliant plan,” Yun Jianyue clapped her hands and laughed. “Then help me register too, and I’ll help you get a representative seat. Oh, and register Ice Stone Girl too.”
Yan Xuehen was somewhat taken aback: "Aren't you afraid of lowering your status by participating in this kind of competition?"
“Our Holy Church values practical benefits and doesn’t care about formalities,” Yun Jianyue snorted. “I’ve been grateful for Sister Yu’s care during this time. I’m a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and never owes anyone a favor, so I’ll use this to repay her.”
Zuan, who was standing to the side, said quietly, "It seems that my sister still owes me quite a few favors."
"Get away from me..." Yun Jianyue pushed him aside. What was originally a normal interaction suddenly made her cheeks burn as she thought of the time he saw her most secret side.
Yan Xuehen was the only one who knew the truth. He thought to himself that this witch had finally met her end. He remembered how badly she had harmed him back then, and how he hadn't been able to sleep for days.
“What you said makes sense, witch. Count me in then. I can also take this opportunity to experience the prowess of these experts from the demon race.”
Yu Yanluo naturally declined, but she couldn't resist their enthusiasm and had to agree. She was a little dizzy for a moment. Two Grandmasters and a Grandmaster with explosive combat power were helping her to win a representative seat. Thinking about it, she felt sorry for their opponents.
Meanwhile, the Elf King's Palace was also in an uproar because Snow Princess had returned!
The elders immediately convened a secret meeting in the council hall. Except for Qiao Wei, who was away, all seven other elders were present, and all unauthorized personnel were strictly prohibited from approaching.
