The girls not far away widened their eyes instantly.
Yu Yanluo opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Qiao Xueying next to her said, "Don't worry, although Azu is a bit of a flirt, he is actually a very reliable man. He won't be so easily bewitched by someone's beauty. I think the Little Demon Queen has something to talk to him about."
Yu Yanluo nodded politely to her, but she was a little annoyed. This elven princess kept implying that she had known Zuan longer, which was really irritating.
On the other side, Yun Jianyue glanced at Yan Xuehen, who was closest to her: "Ice Stone Woman, is this woman so thirsty? Pulling a man into the house in front of so many people?"
Yan Xuehen's cheeks flushed slightly: "Although that guy is a bit of a womanizer, he wouldn't be so unable to control himself. We should trust him."
Yun Jianyue looked suspicious: "Believe that guy can resist beauty? I'd rather believe that you, Ice Stone Woman, have fallen in love with him."
Yan Xuehen immediately became anxious: "What nonsense are you spouting, you witch?"
...
The two argued back and forth, leaving Minister Lei Xin and General Wu Cheng, who were being held hostage, speechless. Lei Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Although the Little Demon Queen is sometimes... somewhat alluring, we haven't heard of her doing anything outrageous over the years. Could it be that the two ladies have misunderstood something?"
Wu Cheng chimed in, "That's right. On the contrary, I'm more worried about your companion. The Little Demon Queen is seriously injured and powerless now. If your companion really wants to do something to her, she has no ability to resist at all."
"Nonsense!" the two women exclaimed in unison. "How could he be such a despicable and shameless person!"
Sensing the sudden burst of killing intent from the two women, both Lei Xin and Wu Cheng felt their hair stand on end and fell silent, no longer daring to utter a word.
The two main characters who were being discussed by the group have now entered the house. After closing the door, the Little Demon Queen stared intently at Zu An: "What exactly did you mean by what you just said?"
"What else could it mean? It means exactly what it says." Zuan smiled.
The little demon queen's breathing quickened, her chest heaving and trembling in beautiful arcs, but she was not overwhelmed by the moment. Instead, she immediately calmed down and said, "What makes you say that?"
The other party's cultivation level is not bad, but such a major event as the new Demon Emperor is probably beyond his control.
Seeing her suspicious expression, Zu An said calmly, "The Demon Emperor is dead."
"What?!" The little demon queen's face turned pale instantly. Her husband was dead?
That powerful being is dead?
Although he knew his lifespan was coming to an end, he did not expect that day to be so close.
She was not saddened to find her husband dead. After all, she had been snatched away by the Demon Emperor because of her beauty. Not long after, the Demon Emperor suffered from headaches and was nearing the onset of the Five Signs of Decay. The couple spent little time together and naturally had little affection for each other.
She was now filled with fear. For many years, she had been respected and admired by the demon race simply because she was the demon king's wife. Now that she had lost her backer, what should she and her son do next?
No wonder the Golden Crow Prince dared to kill; it turns out the Demon Emperor was already dead.
"How did he die?" The little demon queen wiped her eyes. She had thought she would at least shed some tears to mourn her husband, but she found that she couldn't touch a single tear between her fingers.
“You probably wouldn’t believe me even if I told you, so I can only tell you that he died in the secret realm,” Zu’an replied. After all, the other party was husband and wife of the Demon Emperor. Although it seemed that they didn’t have much affection for each other at the moment, it was still not a good feeling for her to know that he was the one who killed her husband.
"I see." The little demon queen didn't press for further details. Since the demon emperor was already dead, she was more concerned about what to do next. "How do you plan to help me?"
Now that the Demon Emperor is dead, only the brothers are left to fight over the throne. Even if the Crown Prince is overthrown, there will be no Demon Emperor to restore order.
Zaun himself is quite powerful, and he also has two Grandmasters as his henchmen: Queen Medusa of the Serpent Clan and the Elf Princess. He certainly has enough power to influence the succession struggle.
“No, no, no, you should be concerned about something else first,” Zaun shook his finger. “Why should I help you?”
The little demon queen was taken aback. She was no ordinary person either, and immediately said, "You have a grudge against the Golden Crow Crown Prince. Given the Crown Prince's magnanimity, he will certainly not tolerate you. In addition, you also have a grudge against the Second Prince. Although it is not a deep hatred, you are not close to him. Naturally, you are not as close to us as you are to us."
Zuan laughed: "So you think I have no choice but to choose you guys?"
Sensing the chill in his tone, the little demon queen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that she had been too clever for her own good: "Of course not, our friendship hasn't reached that level yet. You can choose other princes, or you can leave and not get involved in this mess. Anyway, you're not a demon."
Zu An sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed a smart person, but is this all you can say to me? If you want my help, you have to give me something in return."
The little demon queen bit her lip, her expression shifting between light and dark. However, thinking of the helplessness and despair she felt while holding her infant son in the face of being surrounded and attacked, her eyes suddenly hardened.
With a casual wave of her hand, as if activating some mechanism, a soundproof barrier was added to the room, preventing outsiders from overhearing their conversation.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue outside frowned. They were quietly observing the drama with their divine senses when the people inside overturned the stage.
Yun Jianyue was a little annoyed, so she decided to go in and find out what was going on.
But Yan Xuehen stopped him: "Let it go. They're probably going to talk about something confidential, so it's normal that they don't want us to listen."
