The moment this thought arose, Zu An subconsciously glanced at the Little Demon Queen. In a sense, the Second Prince also had to address the Little Demon Queen as "Mother," so he had spoken the truth.
The little demon queen looked at him with suspicion, feeling that there was something strange about the way he was looking at her, but she was too embarrassed to ask in front of so many people.
Zuan quickly gathered his thoughts: "By the way, where is that seal?"
“It should be deeper than Monte City, but we don’t know exactly where it is.” Little Demon Queen seemed to think this was a bit far-fetched, and hurriedly added an explanation, “After entering the Sealed Land, we were led into a deadly place by the Second Prince’s people, and then betrayed by Little Golden Roc King and others. We have been running around non-stop and have not had a chance to investigate these things.”
Zuan expressed his understanding, saying that she had indeed done her best to lead everyone out of various traps and preserve most of the fresh troops.
The group then engaged in a lively discussion, compiling records from various ancient texts about the sealed location. Connecting this with what they had seen and heard over the past few days, they identified three most likely locations: one north of Monte City, one northwest of Monte City, and one west of Monte City. All of these were large, vague areas that could only be investigated on-site.
Zuan originally wanted Little Demon Queen to lead everyone away from the sealed land, while he went alone to investigate. After all, after many days of fierce fighting, almost everyone in Monte City was injured, many of them seriously. Everyone hadn't slept for a long time and had reached their physical limits. They urgently needed rest to recover their fighting strength.
However, the Little Demon Queen and the leaders of various races disagreed with this plan. They knew that this was the sealed land of the demon race, and Zu'an was, after all, a human. He had saved everyone's lives before, and they were already very grateful. How could they have the face to let Zu'an face all the dangers alone?
After much discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement: the most seriously injured would be taken away from the sealed land first, while the rest would remain in Monte City to rest and prepare to provide support to Zaun at any time.
Zuan also understood that individual strength has its limits, and that collective wisdom and effort are often needed, so he did not insist.
He was originally preparing to set off immediately to investigate in several directions, but was persuaded to stay by the Little Demon Queen, who said that he had just gone through a bloody battle and also needed to rest.
Zuan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the other party's concerned eyes, he agreed.
Although the energy consumed in the previous battle could be replenished by killing enemies, the psychological fatigue and tension were very real, especially after suddenly slaughtering so many lives.
Fortunately, they were all ferocious demons acting on instinct, otherwise he himself might have wavered in his resolve.
He was quickly arranged to rest in the best room in the city, which had a formation set up with top-grade spirit stones to help the person inside recover from injuries and regain energy as quickly as possible.
After seeing everyone else off, the Little Demon Queen stayed behind, saying she had something to discuss with Zu'an.
"Is there something you can't tell those people?" Zuan asked with a serious expression. Could it be that there was a traitor among the remaining guys?
The little demon queen's eyes were brimming with tears. With her back to the door, she gently stepped back and closed the door behind her: "It is indeed a little inconvenient for those people to know."
After saying that, she rushed into his arms with a fragrant breeze, gently stroking his face, neck, and shoulders: "You are too tense, your whole body is so tense. Facing unknown dangers is not a good thing."
Zuan gave a wry smile: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just that I've just killed so many demons and monsters, and I'm not used to this kind of killing."
“Because you are a gentle and kind person at heart,” the little demon queen looked up at him, her eyes shining. “Your personality is like that of someone who didn’t grow up in this cruel world of cultivation. But that’s what makes you special, and that’s why I dare to trust you so completely.”
In fact, there have been regents in the history of the demon race, but they were often powerful ministers who could control everything. It was usually necessary for the empress dowager and the young emperor to work together to scheme against them in order to ensure the smooth continuation of the imperial power.
But this regent, Zuan, was like an anomaly, completely disregarding such power.
At first, the little demon queen, who had been in the palace for a long time, actually had some precautions in secret, but after getting to know her, she realized that she was worrying too much.
From that moment on, she found herself completely captivated.
What I initially thought was just a political transaction turned out to be a taste of love.
On the surface, she seemed to have won everything, with such a simple yet powerful regent wholeheartedly protecting her and her child. But she knew very well that she had lost miserably in this contest and had completely ruined herself.
Thinking of this, her eyes softened even more, and she gently brushed her fingers across his lips, saying in a sweet voice, "I stayed to dispel your anger, to let you vent all your negative emotions. I don't want your personality to be affected by these negative emotions..."
Everyone in the demon race agrees that the most beautiful woman in the entire demon race has been debated since Queen Medusa arrived, but the most charming and alluring is definitely the Little Demon Queen.
Even Tu Shanyu, the ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom, who is famous for her seductive charm, is slightly inferior in this aspect.
Back then, every time they saw the old demon emperor and the young and beautiful demon queen sitting together in the palace, almost every man would have the same thought: Is the old demon emperor still capable?
They all wished they could take her place, and after each pilgrimage to the Little Demon Queen, many would even dream of her...
This was just the effect of seeing her from afar; it was nothing compared to having her warm, fragrant, and soft in my arms, listening to her tender whispers.
