Little Demon suddenly laughed, a smug expression spreading across his face. Watching him, I felt a surge of pride within myself.
Wang Niu took a deep breath, and at that moment, a blinding light rushed toward us, striking Little Demon.
Little Demon’s face turned pale as he fell to the ground, clearly in pain. Seeing his suffering made me anxious, and I hurriedly helped him up.
"Are you okay?" I asked urgently. Little Demon shook his head. Just as I was about to speak again, a disdainful voice reached our ears, causing Little Demon King to freeze. His gaze shifted forward to see an arrogant child approaching.
"Hmph, what are you holding with those injured hands?" The child's eyes suddenly landed on Little Demon, noticing what he held.
Little Demon King hesitated for a moment before quickly putting away the item. Seeing this, the child immediately reached out to snatch it from Little Demon’s grasp. The child was incredibly domineering, which struck Wang Niu as odd; wasn’t this the child of the Demon King? How could anyone bully him?
When the child realized he couldn’t take Little Demon’s item, he became furious and used a spell against him. In an instant, Little Demon was lifted high into the air.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and save me!" Little Demon King shouted desperately.
This snapped Wang Niu back to reality, and he rushed to rescue Little Demon King.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a deep cut appeared on Wang Niu's hand, leaving him bewildered.
"Heh heh, how dare you save him! Do you know who I am?" The child's arrogant voice echoed in Wang Niu's ears. He looked over to see the child glaring fiercely at him.
"Who are you?" Wang Niu asked, puzzled.
The child was full of pride when suddenly a cloud of black mist appeared before Wang Niu. Instinctively, he felt something was off.
Sure enough, as the mist cleared, Wang Niu saw the princess from before.
His heart sank as he recognized her, and she too spotted Wang Niu.
"Heh heh, I didn’t expect to see you here again."
Wang Niu's heart sank further as he looked at the woman and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's smile instantly froze on her face. She replied to Wang Niu, "Didn't that bitch Bai Yu tell you anything?"
Wang Niu's expression darkened at her words.
"Who are you really?"
At that moment, the Little Demon King beside Wang Niu quietly tugged at him, causing a jolt in Wang Niu's heart as if he had recalled something.
Could it be...
Wang Niu glanced at the child, who unexpectedly looked back at him and nodded. In that instant, Wang Niu understood completely.
His expression turned awkward.
He hadn't expected that in a world of monsters, things were similar to humans; even this Demon King had multiple wives. It quickly dawned on Wang Niu.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you," he said confidently to the Little Demon King.
The Little Demon King nodded in response. Then, a strange voice echoed in Wang Niu's heart. At the same time, he felt something and warned the child, "You need to be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce wind rushed toward the Little Demon King.
Seeing this, the Little Demon King immediately dodged and said to Wang Niu, "I'm leaving now; I'll leave this to you."
After the Little Demon King's words faded, Wang Niu felt a strange sensation rushing toward him. He turned to see that the woman had unleashed Dark Light at him.
Wang Niu's expression changed dramatically as he quickly dodged. To his shock, the Dark Light struck the lawn behind him. In that instant, he let out a deep breath of relief. However, it wasn't over yet. Just as Wang Niu was catching his breath, he sensed something amiss. The woman had somehow produced a sword in her hand, enveloped in dark energy. A wave of unease washed over Wang Niu; if that sword pierced him, he would be in serious trouble.
Wang Niu swiftly evaded the woman and secretly summoned his own energy. In a moment, he felt something shift and said to her, "How despicable."
Suddenly, several peculiar Small Insects appeared in Wang Niu's hand.
Despite their small size, these Small Insects were filled with Deadly Poison. Wang Niu's face turned pale as he took a deep breath. Suddenly, the things in his hand fell to the ground. He immediately crushed the Small Insects, while the woman looked on with a smug expression.
Now was the perfect time to strike back at her. In just a moment, Wang Niu unleashed a strange Gas toward the woman. This Gas slowly approached her and transformed into ropes that ensnared her hands and feet. Wang Niu felt a surge of excitement; the woman was completely unaware of what was happening behind her.
In an instant, she found herself bound by the ropes.
By the time she realized it, it was too late. Her expression darkened as she suddenly spat out Black Blood.
"What have you done to me?"
Her tone turned vicious.
Wang Niu smiled but remained silent. Meanwhile, a child standing beside the woman saw this and fled. Wang Niu's heart skipped a beat as he hurried after the child. Just as he was about to catch up, the child vanished without a trace.
This left Wang Niu shaken; he hadn't expected the child to be so fast.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Niu sensed something again. He abruptly glanced behind him and saw a strange figure emerging from the shadows.
His heart raced as he tried to escape but was caught by the figure.
"Come with us," the woman said to Wang Niu.
Wang Niu froze for a moment, unsure of what to do. Around him swirled black mist, and in an instant, he felt completely dazed.
The black mist surrounded him, creating a suffocating sensation.
He took another deep breath and shouted into the darkness, "Who are you people?"
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with not a sound to be heard. The thick black mist enveloping Wang Niu made his heart skip a beat. Just then, the mist suddenly parted, revealing a woman before him, exuding an air of nobility.
Wang Niu's heart sank. This woman bore an uncanny resemblance to the consort of a demon lord. As soon as she spoke, he knew for certain.
"You are the one who scared my son away," the noblewoman said.
Wang Niu responded with a faint acknowledgment, but inside, he felt turmoil rising like a tidal wave.
"Yes, but who exactly are you?" he asked.
The noblewoman suddenly burst into laughter. "How could you not know who I am?"
"You are the Demon Lord's Consort," Wang Niu replied cautiously.
"Indeed, I am the Second Demon Consort. I have come today to propose a collaboration," she said, her gaze fixed on Wang Niu, her expression shifting to something more sinister.
Wang Niu was puzzled. Why would the Second Demon Consort seek his help for a collaboration?
His heart grew wary. After a moment, she spoke again, "Don't you want to know what I wish to discuss with you?"
Wang Niu shook his head in front of the Second Demon Consort, feeling no interest at all. It was clear what this second consort was after.
"I want you to help me kill Little Demon," she stated.
This revelation sent a jolt through Wang Niu. He suddenly understood why that child had dared to confront the Little Demon King; it turned out he was also the child of a demon lord.
The Little Demon King must have been without a mother, which explained the Second Demon Consort's intentions.
As Wang Niu pondered this, the Second Demon Consort had already approached him closely, causing him to instinctively recoil and maintain distance from her.
This woman before him was undoubtedly ruthless; otherwise, she wouldn't have treated him so coldly.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Niu looked at the Second Demon Consort and said firmly, "You might as well give up on that idea; I will not agree to your request."
Upon hearing Wang Niu's words, the Second Demon Consort burst into laughter and said to Wang Niu, "Do you really think that's possible?"
Wang Niu's heart skipped a beat as the Second Demon Consort's gaze remained fixed on him, taking note of every subtle change in his expression.
Seeing that Wang Niu did not respond, she continued, "I can offer you a deal."
"What kind of deal?"
The corners of the Second Demon Consort's mouth curled up slightly as she said, "Actually, I know you're not from this world."
Wang Niu shuddered, staring at the Second Demon Consort in disbelief. How could this woman know?
"Are you surprised?"
Wang Niu found himself nodding instinctively at her question, and the Second Demon Consort continued, "In fact, we are of the same kind. I know why you are here this time—it's for your friends, right?"
Wang Niu was taken aback by her words, staring at her in disbelief.
"Here's the deal: if you kill the Little Demon King, I will help you rescue your friends."
"What did you say?" Wang Niu's eyes widened in surprise.
The woman smiled and said to Wang Niu, "I won't lie to you because we are of the same kind. There is a contract binding us together."
Wang Niu was stunned upon hearing this and asked the woman, "Is this what you mean?"
After saying that, Wang Niu extended his hand toward the Second Demon Consort. Upon seeing the black line in Wang Niu's hand, she nodded in acknowledgment.
"About the thing in your hand."
Wang Niu's heart skipped a beat. Then, the Second Demon Consort revealed something to Wang Niu that sent a chill down his spine. He recognized it immediately; it was poison. If the Little Demon King ingested it, he would surely die.
This realization left Wang Niu momentarily stunned. In truth, his heart was not as cold as it seemed; he only wanted to rescue them and take them away from this place.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" The Second Demon Consort's tone grew heavier.
Wang Niu was pulled back to reality by her words. He stammered, "It's not that I'm unwilling; I just don't want to harm the innocent. He's just a child."
As soon as he said this, the Second Demon Consort burst into laughter. "You tell me he's just a child? Very well, let me show you what a child is."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wang Niu saw the child from earlier appear beside the Second Demon Consort.
The Second Demon Consort gave the child a knowing glance, and the child immediately understood, nodding at Wang Niu. In an instant, a sense of foreboding washed over him.
He watched as the child turned around and lifted his shirt. Wang Niu's heart trembled at what he saw—the child's back was covered in scars. He stood there in disbelief, staring at the child.
"What is this?" Confusion filled Wang Niu's mind.
The Second Demon Consort suddenly let out a mocking laugh. "This is what you just called a child."
Wang Niu's heart quaked at her words, disbelief etched on his face as he looked at the Second Demon Consort.
Her smile turned even more bitter.
"Do you know how the Great Demon Consort died?" Wang Niu froze, unsure of how to respond.
He knew nothing about the Great Demon Consort's story.
Taking advantage of Wang Niu's daze, the Second Demon Consort continued, "You probably didn't expect that when the Great Demon Consort was alive, none of these people around me had it easy. They were all tormented by her, including this child of mine. At that time, he was still very young. As the Great Demon King's health deteriorated, his consorts began to vie for power."
“At that time, I was not like this. I was just secretly leaving the palace with my child. But unexpectedly, the Great Demon Consort chased after us, wanting to kill my child.
I pleaded desperately, but the Great Demon Consort's heart remained cruel, intent on harming me and my child. This caused me immense pain; for a moment, I didn’t know what to do, and I had no energy left in me to confront the Great Demon Consort.”
“Just at that critical moment, something happened to the Demon King. He suddenly recovered and sent someone to rescue us.”
“After the Demon King saved us, the Great Demon Consort became even more wary of us. Once we returned to the palace, the Great Demon Consort kept looking for opportunities to deal with us. Do you know how we have managed to survive all these years?”
Wang Niu listened to the Demon Consort's words, waves of emotion rising within him as he shook his head at the Great Demon Consort.
The child's expression suddenly turned agitated as he shouted at Wang Niu, “Get lost! You’re a bad person!”
With that, the child grabbed something and threw it at Wang Niu, causing him to feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, the Second Demon Consort immediately ordered the child to stop.
The child glared defiantly at the Second Demon Consort.
The Second Demon Consort looked helpless, seemingly unwilling to continue speaking.
She turned to Wang Niu and said, “You don’t understand. Whether you want to or not, if you help us, I think you can already guess the outcome of what’s to come. Little Demon’s mother has already been dealt with by us, but that was her own doing. We never intended to harm anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Niu felt a sense of wavering in his heart and replied to the Second Demon Consort, “Let me think about it.”
The Second Demon Consort smiled at Wang Niu without saying anything further but placed something into his hands. Then she vanished with the child before Wang Niu’s eyes.
Wang Niu sighed deeply, his gaze filled with helplessness.
He had no choice but to set aside what he held in his hands. After a while, Little Demon suddenly approached him and asked, “What are you doing?”
"Wang Niu" immediately explained, "No, I was just thinking."
"Thinking?" "Little Demon" looked at "Wang Niu" with a puzzled expression.
"Wang Niu" paused for a moment and then said to "Little Demon," "Yes, just thinking. By the way, did you give the things I gave you to your master?"
"Little Demon" hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I gave them to my master. He praised me, and he also asked me to come by tonight. I don't know what for."
"Wang Niu" felt a jolt at her words and asked, "Can you take me with you?"
Upon hearing "Wang Niu's" request, "Little Demon" took a deep breath and said, "I can take you, but you have to tell me if you met with 'Second Demon Consort' just now."
"Wang Niu" was taken aback, looking at "Little Demon King" in disbelief; it seemed that "Little Demon King" knew something.
"You speak."
"Wang Niu" nodded. The expression on "Little Demon King's" face suddenly became cautious. "What did he say to you?"
"Wang Niu" shook his head at "Little Demon," indicating that he hadn't said a word. "Little Demon" didn't believe him and insisted, "I don't believe you. If you're not telling the truth, I'll tell my father about this."
The words from "Little Demon" made "Wang Niu" shudder; if "Little Demon" did that, he would be in danger.
"Wang Niu's" brows furrowed as he shook his head at "Little Demon." "I'll tell you this: she wants to deal with you."
Upon hearing this, "Little Demon"'s expression turned serious. He seemed to be contemplating something before asking, "Do you think she can handle me?"
"No, I think you're amazing," "Wang Niu" immediately flattered "Little Demon."
"Little Demon" shot a glance at "Wang Niu."
At that moment, "Bai Yu" suddenly appeared before them.
As soon as "Little Demon" saw "Bai Yu," he froze. "Sister Bai Yu, what brings you here?"
Bai Yu's expression was somewhat grave. He did not respond directly to Little Demon but looked at him as if he had thought of something. Then, Bai Yu pulled Wang Niu over. "Tell me, how do you have the aura of the Second Demon Consort on you?"
Wang Niu's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Bai Yu in disbelief. How did Bai Yu know about this?
Could it be that Bai Yu sensed the strange aura on him?
Seeing that Wang Niu remained silent, Bai Yu's face grew anxious. "Speak up!"
Wang Niu was taken aback for a moment before replying to Bai Yu, "You're right; the Second Demon Consort did come to find me, but I didn't agree to anything."
Bai Yu immediately became unsettled and asked Wang Niu, "What exactly did the Second Demon Consort say to you?"
For some reason, at that moment, Wang Niu felt very strange inside. He took out a bottle and handed it to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu was momentarily stunned and asked Wang Niu, "What is this?"
"This is poison. The Second Demon Consort told me to give it to Little Demon King."
Bai Yu's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Wang Niu. "Are you saying that the Second Demon Consort is planning to harm Little Demon King?"
Wang Niu nodded, and Bai Yu's expression turned tense, which puzzled Wang Niu. "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Yu sighed and said, "I should stop the Second Demon Consort because the Great Demon Consort has done me a favor."
"You know about the Great Demon Consort?"
Wang Niu seemed to understand something and asked Bai Yu.
Bai Yu paused for a moment before nodding. "I suppose I know a bit, but I can't tell you."
Wang Niu felt a bit disappointed. At that moment, the Little Demon King walked over to them, looking at Bai Yu with confusion. "What are you talking about?"
Bai Yu smiled awkwardly and shook his head at the Little Demon King. "Nothing much. By the way, how was your day today? Did the Master say anything to you?"
