Lan Ziye stared at the spirit stone in silence for a long moment before he slowly spoke, "Why? Isn't it good to be a free demon?"
The fish demon was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's too difficult. It's too difficult for demons to survive in human territory these days. Besides... I'm now a wanted criminal in Ten Thousand Demon City. I don't know when I'll be recaptured, so..."
"You're seeking refuge?" Lan Ziye raised an eyebrow and looked at the fish demon. "How do you know I can protect you? That's the City of Ten Thousand Demons!"
"If even the head of the Lan family can't protect me, I think no one in the entire Lanxuan Continent can protect me!" The fish demon said with certainty.
Lan Ziye laughed and said, "You flatter me too much!" He paused and continued, "The human race has its own rules. Since that lady has taken a life, you should report it to the authorities!"
"What's the difference between reporting her to the police and killing her directly?" said the fish demon sadly.
She couldn't do anything that would disappoint or make Youyou unhappy.
Lan Ziye glanced at Chu Xixuan, who remained unresponsive, and continued, "Actually, I'm not particularly interested in the past grudges you're talking about. Since you want to handle this matter on your own, I won't interfere." After a pause, he added, "I'll take the Essence Stone. Once you've dealt with your issues, come find me at Nanwang Street!"
"Really?" The fish demon was so excited that he was about to kneel down to Lan Ziye with tears in his eyes.
Over the years, she has been hiding from demon catchers and judges. It has been so hard, but her hard days are finally coming to an end.
Lan Ziye suddenly thought of something and asked, "You can transform into Youyou. Do you know the art of transformation?"
The fish demon nodded and said, "The magic I practice is the art of transformation!"
Lan Ziye smiled and said, "There aren't many monsters that practice the art of transformation!"
The fish demon smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master. I just got some opportunities."
Lan Ziye straightened up and said solemnly, "I can't explain to you why I appeared three thousand years later. But since you've decided to follow me, the very least and most important thing is that you be absolutely loyal to me. So, you must not mention the fact that I was the head of the Lan family three thousand years ago to anyone. This is a secret, understand?"
Seeing Lan Ziye so serious, the fish demon also took it seriously and nodded solemnly.
"My current identity is the eldest daughter of the Lan family, the fiancée of the eldest son of the Chu family, and the king of Nanwang Street!" Lan Ziye spoke again.
"The eldest son of the Chu family?" the fish demon exclaimed in astonishment. Just because she hadn't met the eldest son of the Chu family didn't mean she hadn't heard of him. She'd heard about him more than once from Jin Jun alone. In this era, within human society, the Chu family was the most powerful family on the Lanxuan Continent, much like the Lan family three thousand years ago. Their power absolutely crushed the other four great families. While the eldest son of the Chu family hadn't yet inherited the position of Patriarch, he was the true ruler of the Chu family and the undisputed successor to the title.
I didn’t expect that the fiancé of the head of the Lan family is actually the eldest son of the Chu family!
She asked who in the entire Lanxuan Continent could be worthy of being the head of the Lan family? Sure enough, only someone of the same status as the head of the Lan family could be worthy of the head of the Lan family.
The fish demon's eyes gradually changed from astonishment to understanding and taking it for granted.
Lan Ziye smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, he is the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Xixuan! You can just call him the eldest son from now on!"
