When Zuan first heard the word "young lady," his first thought was of someone like Ren Yingying, or perhaps a young lady like Rin Tohsaka from anime, or at the very least, Sonoko Suzuki.
He even secretly warned himself that he had come to the demon world with an important mission and must not have any contact with the demons here.
Besides, he's currently entangled in a lot of romantic entanglements and has already let down too many women. He doesn't want to develop relationships with any new female characters.
All the way, I reminded myself never to be a brother-obsessed brother, spoiling my second brother in everything, and then flirting with him whenever I saw someone pretty.
When he saw the figure in the woods, he fell silent.
My worries seem a bit unnecessary...
The opponent appeared in human form and had previously fought against powerful demons who invaded the cultivation world. It seems that these high-level demons usually appear in human form, as humans are the most intelligent of all beings and can cultivate faster in this form.
This young lady has a well-proportioned figure and her fashion sense is quite good. Although her skin isn't exactly fair and jade-like, it's not like the Bloodthirsty Crocodile Ancestor, which has all sorts of pitted and uneven scales.
Add to that her status as a young lady from a wealthy family and the demeanor of a master, and even if she were of average appearance, she could still be considered a beauty overall.
Even if someone is not good-looking, you can still praise them for having good temperament.
But she just happens to have... a head that looks like a dinosaur—literally a dinosaur.
A dinosaur head with a human body would be absolutely terrifying in a cultivation world.
But in the world of demons, this is considered normal.
I've seen all sorts of strange monsters in the dungeon before when I passed by, so this is nothing compared to what I've seen before.
However, she is indeed far from the image of a young lady in my mind.
He was originally only 80% sure, but now he is 100% certain that the master Morgad spoke of is indeed the Lord of Slaughter.
Because this young lady's head is almost identical to that of the Lord of Slaughter!
"It doesn't seem very polite to stare at a lady like that," the young lady said, somewhat displeased.
Anger from Salami +110 +110 +110...
"Greetings, Miss." Zu An bowed, feeling somewhat apologetic, realizing he had been too judgmental of appearance.
Sensing the apology in his words, Salami's expression softened slightly: "I heard that the young patriarch of the True Demon Clan is handsome and dashing, but after seeing him today, he seems to be nothing special, looking weak and frail, not strong enough."
"Please excuse my poor appearance, Miss." Zu An thought to himself that the aesthetics of demons were truly bizarre and should not be judged by human standards.
Having slightly insulted him and regained the upper hand, Salami's earlier displeasure finally dissipated: "How's the matter that Uncle Mo asked you about last time going?"
Zuan had a vague guess in his mind, but with too little information, he could only cautiously reply, "Uh, not so smooth."
"What?!" Salami slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "We gave you so many resources, and you can't even handle a small matter in that weak world?"
Salami's anger level increased by 300 + 300 + 300...
Zu An thought to himself, "As expected," but replied somewhat awkwardly, "Young Miss, that world is actually quite powerful."
He had originally intended to say that the War Priest, the Shadow Demon King, the Bloodthirsty Crocodile Ancestor, and others had all perished, but upon further reflection, he swallowed those words. He was unsure of the depth of Donar's cooperation with the other side, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
“Of course I know he’s not weak!” Salami sneered. “Otherwise, how could the Demon Lord’s three-pronged army plan have failed? How could so many powerful figures have died in that world? I didn’t ask you to fight for power in that world, I just asked you to find out the whereabouts of the Shadow Demon King. What’s so difficult about that?”
Upon hearing this, Zuan was overjoyed, thankful that he hadn't gone into too much detail, or he would have been exposed: "The main problem is that the regent of that world is too powerful, and I have to avoid attracting his attention in everything I do. However, I have found out some information about the Shadow Demon King, and I'm afraid he's in grave danger."
"Then why did you just say you couldn't find anything?" Salami glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
“I only said it wasn’t going well, not that I couldn’t find anything,” Zuan thought to himself. He didn’t know what Donald had asked him to do, so he could only answer that way. But now that he understood the whole story, it was much easier to answer. “I only know that the Shadow Lord is probably dead, but I don’t have any concrete evidence.”
In fact, he witnessed the Shadow Demon King die at the hands of the Lord of Slaughter. Now that he thinks about it, the Shadow Demon King deserved to die for trying to sign a master-servant contract with the Lord of Slaughter.
"Nonsense, of course I know the Shadow Demon King is in grave danger, I just want to know the exact details!" Salami was quite dissatisfied with his answer.
"A great commotion occurred at the Sealed Land. Originally, the Shadow Demon King and his group were about to succeed, and the Demon Queen and her army were on the verge of death. However, the Regent arrived and turned the tide, annihilating the Shadow Demon King and his demon comrades. Because of the incident at the Sealed Land, the people of the cultivation world became vigilant, so they sent troops to seal off the area, forbidding anyone from approaching. Therefore, I do not have evidence for much of my information," Zu'an explained.
“I’ve heard so much about that regent over the past year. Although we’re on opposing sides, I admire him quite a bit. If we ever rule the cultivation world, I’ll definitely go and meet him. If we hit it off, I might even make him my son-in-law.” Salami’s eyes suddenly held a hint of longing.
Zuan secretly wiped away his sweat, thinking it best not to meet him.
Salami snapped out of her daze: "What about news about my father?"
Upon hearing this question, Zu'an was immediately stumped; how was he supposed to answer that?
Should I tell her that her father was wiped out by an indescribably powerful being, leaving not even a trace?
He coughed lightly and quickly said, "It is rumored that during the great battle in the sealed land, there were also unusual movements in the Great Snow Mountain region of the cultivation world. According to my investigation, your father may have been suppressed under one of the Great Snow Mountains."
“The Great Snow Mountain!” Salami exclaimed excitedly. “Yes, that must be it. According to the recollections of some of the guys who escaped back then, after my father was suppressed, it snowed heavily, and the surrounding area quickly became a frozen wasteland. That Great Snow Mountain may have been formed at that time.”
Salami paced back and forth, clearly very agitated: "How is my father now? Has he sent any message back?"
Zuan chuckled awkwardly: "The rest will take more time to investigate."
Salami took a deep breath: "Those few good-for-nothings, Shadow Demon King, it seems they didn't have time to rescue Father. Otherwise, with my father's strength, you couldn't have missed hearing about him."
Zuan thought that the Shadow Demon King was really wronged. He had already successfully rescued the Lord of Slaughter, but unfortunately he encountered that indescribable being.
Salami suddenly took a deep breath: "Find a way to send me to that world. I want to go and rescue my father myself!"
