Chapter 564 Selfless Devotion



Hearing her affectionate words, Zu'an could no longer hold back. He hugged her tightly, letting out his burning passion.

The little demon queen hugged her beloved man tightly, and at that moment it was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

An hour later, Zu'an left the room, feeling refreshed and no longer affected by the previous battle with the demons. His spirit had completely returned to its peak state.

When Zu An went out, he saw Aunt Xiao's astonished look and thought she was shocked by his strength in annihilating a million demons. He was also a little surprised that she was still so shocked after so much time had passed.

Of course, it wasn't appropriate to ask about such things in detail. He nodded slightly to the other party and then soared into the sky to investigate several possible locations.

Aunt Xiao went into the room and saw the little demon queen wrapped in a blanket, smiling foolishly as if she had thought of something. She rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Oh my, luckily no one else saw her. She looks like she's been played with to death."

The little demon queen's eyes sparkled. The two had a good relationship to begin with, so she wasn't angry: "Aunt Xiao, you know how rare it is for me to be played with so much. How could I not be happy?"

Aunt Xiao: "..."

You win; shamelessness makes a person invincible.

However, she still couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't your special constitution...didn't it affect him?"

The little demon queen seemed to have thought of something, her cheeks flushed: "His constitution must be special too. He's the only one who can affect me. How could I possibly have the chance to affect him?"

Aunt Xiao was stunned and could only sigh, "The Regent is indeed invincible."

"Truly invincible." The little demon queen's eyes seemed to be about to overflow with tears.

...

Meanwhile, outside the sealed land, in Tieyuan City, Kong Nanwu asked Peacock King with some worry, "Father, do you think the Little Demon Queen and the others will come out safely?"

Peacock King laughed heartily: "You probably want to ask if the Regent can come out safely, right?"

"Father~" Kong Nanwu said coquettishly, pinching her father's arm in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, Father, stop talking nonsense." A smile still lingered in the eyes of the Peacock King.

Kong Nanwu blushed and said, "That's right, I do have some feelings for the Regent, but it's far from being love. He has many female confidantes around him, so Father, please don't play matchmaker."

"So you were worried that he had too many female companions," the Peacock King said solemnly. "You are a princess of our Peacock Clan, of noble status, and your appearance is no less than anyone else's. You are also intelligent and witty. How could ordinary women compete with you?"

Kong Nanwu: "..."

My focus is on the first half of the sentence, so why did my father only hear the second half?

Just as the father and daughter were playing around, a sudden, urgent bell rang out from outside.

The Peacock King's smile vanished instantly, and he flew away in a flash.

Kong Nanwu also straightened up and followed.

This is the sound of a sentry alerting the enemy attack. Could it be that demons have emerged from the sealed land?

Wouldn't that mean that Brother Zu is in grave danger?

Thinking of this, her heart sank, and she quickened her pace.

She quickly arrived at the city wall and saw an army outside. They didn't look like demons, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be that Brother Zu's men who rescued Little Demon Queen have returned?

Kong Nanwu hurriedly craned her neck to look, but this army was somewhat unfamiliar to her. Everyone was wounded, and blood seeped through the bandages. Those who could stand were still okay, but many were missing limbs, and many were still lying on stretchers, their fate unknown.

This is clearly a battle-hardened army, and it looks like it's on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, a figure arrived at the front of the formation and shouted in this direction, "I am the Second Prince. Quickly open the city gate and let us in to rest."

"The Second Prince?" Everyone on the city wall was startled and quickly looked closely. Sure enough, it was the Second Prince!

At this moment, he was no longer the imposing figure he once was; his cloak was tattered and torn, as if he were only wearing a few strips of cloth.

The helmet was nowhere to be found, and the hair was completely disheveled, with loose hair mixed with blood, much of it sticking tightly to the face.

He had a huge wound on his chest, and his armor looked as if it had been almost cleaved in two by the blow.

He stood there swaying precariously, clearly seriously injured.

"Second Prince, is it really you?" King Peacock was both surprised and delighted. Everyone had come to help rescue the Second Prince, and they hadn't heard from him for so long. They never expected him to appear here.

"So it's the Peacock King, no doubt about it, it really is me." Upon seeing him, the Second Prince showed a look of surprise and joy, as if he had seen a familiar face who had been saved.

"Your Majesty, please let us in!" At this moment, many soldiers behind the Second Prince shouted excitedly.

Kong Nanwu hurriedly whispered a warning to her father: "Father, be careful, it might be a trap!"

Peacock King nodded slightly, and under the cover of the arrow stalks, made a gesture to his men. Soon, a soldier nodded secretly and went down to relay the message to everyone to prepare.

He then looked outside the city: "Second Prince, what are you doing here? Where are the Little Demon Queen and the armies of the other tribes?"

"Don't even mention it. We were ambushed by demons in the sealed land. Everyone fought desperately, but unfortunately, there were just too many enemies. The various units quickly scattered, and we suffered nearly half casualties before barely managing to break through. This time, we are here to ask the King of Light for help. Please lead your army to rescue the Little Demon Queen." As the Second Prince spoke, he took out his sword and slashed it on the snow beside him, cursing the damned demons fiercely.

Peacock King frowned slightly: "However, my orders are to hold Tieyuan City no matter what, to make it the last line of defense for the demon race, and not to let any demons enter the heartland."
