Chapter 45: Does Lord Demon Lord
recognize the little girl?
"Oh? I didn't expect the Young Master to know about that too!" Yan Kui smiled and said,
"Since it's a request from the Young Master, I'm naturally willing to oblige. It's just a sub-
fire; it has no use for me."
Indeed, the sub-fire had no effect on his current strength. He had planned to collect more sub-
fires before, but now that Ling Xue asked for it, he was happy to give it away.
Yan Kui flicked his finger, and a cluster of snow-white flames floated gently towards Ling
Xue. Ling Xue received the sub-fire.
In the future, having this as a bargaining chip might come in handy when negotiating with
Yun Luo Xi. Since that woman was connected to the Supreme Realm, she would undoubtedly
have a remarkable future.
"Lord Demon Lord, the Qian Ling Ancient Clan's patriarch has requested an audience!"
Suddenly, a voice transmission from Xiaoxiang Yu came from Cangyun Heavenly Mountain.
"The Qian Ling Ancient Clan?"
Upon hearing this message, Yan Kui's expression changed, "Hmph! They tried to harm the
Young Master before, and now they dare to come to our doorstep? I'll crush him into
mincemeat!"
"No need to act impulsively, Old Yan. I will handle these matters myself!" Ling Xue said
calmly.
Yan Kui looked at Ling Xue and nodded. This Demon Sect inheritor was young but
formidable. Since Ling Xue had spoken, he would undoubtedly comply. He would let Ling
Xue handle it himself.
Following that, Yan Kui flicked his finger.
Buzz!
A massive spatial rift appeared in front of them. The symbol of the Extreme Martial Realm
was the ability to tear through space and teleport over long distances. Thousands of miles
could be covered in an instant.
Afterward, Ling Xue, accompanied by Xiaoxiao, and Yan Kui, entered the spatial rift
together.
Back to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain…
Cangyun Heavenly Mountain was now the new headquarters of the Demon Sect.
In a newly constructed hall, Qian Chen and Qian Xue were waiting. No one from the Qian
Ling Ancient Clan had come. They were here to discuss about cooperation.
On their way here, Qian Chen had already expressed his true intentions to Qian Xue. He
planned to use Qian Xue and the Spirit Pearl of the Qian Ling Ancient Clan as gifts, pleading
with Ling Xue to spare the Qian Ling Ancient Clan.
"Xue'er, I'm sorry," Qian Chen looked at Qian Xue with regret in his eyes, "For the sake of
the entire clan's lives, I had to make this decision."
Qian Xue didn't blame her father. She smiled gently and said, "Dad, I understand. If my
actions can secure the peace of the entire Qian Ling Ancient Clan, it's worth it."
As the daughter of the clan's leader, she understood the immense pressure that rested on one
person for the fate of the whole tribe. Thus, she was willing to do whatever was necessary.
Even though she had never met Ling Xue and knew nothing about his character, she was
willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her people. Regardless of whether he was a
handsome and good-natured individual or an ugly and sinister monster, she had no
complaints as long as it benefited her clan.
Qian Chen smiled bitterly and patted his daughter's fragrant shoulder.
"Look on the bright side; if he agrees and you become the Demon Lord's lady, your future
and the future of the entire Qian Ling Ancient Clan will be bright."
Qian Xue smiled bitterly as well, hoping that good fortune awaited her. If the Demon Lord
treated her sincerely, nothing would put her more at ease.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a sound came from the entrance of the hall, and a spatial rift slowly formed. Then,
Ling Xue walked out from it, accompanied by Xiaoxiao and Yan Kui.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qian Chen's expression changed slightly.
Spatial teleportation?
As rumored, the Demon Sect indeed had a presence in the Extreme Martial Realm. It seemed
that provoking the Demon Sect was an erroneous decision. The Tai Xuan Empire was
undoubtedly doomed.
"Greetings, Demon Lord!"
Qian Chen immediately saluted Ling Xue with clasped fists and a humble attitude.
Beside him, Qian Xue also lowered her head in respect. However, she couldn't help but sneak
a few more glances at Ling Xue.
Is he the Demon Lord? So young? And unexpectedly, so handsome?
At least on the surface, he was undeniably pleasing to the eye. His stunning appearance and
noble demeanor would not be repulsive to any woman. But as for his true nature… she had
no way of knowing.
Ling Xue arrived, glancing briefly at Qian Chen and Qian Xue. He naturally knew why Qian
Chen had brought his daughter here. Without any further delay, Ling Xue walked past them
and sat on the main seat.
Xiaoxiao followed by his side, while Yan Kui stood in the center of the hall, hands behind his
back, gazing coldly at Qian Chen and Qian Xue.
Yan Kui used to work with Ling Xue's father and had a similarly fiery temper. If Ling Xue
hadn't said he would handle it himself, Yan Kui would have probably killed them on the spot.
How dare the insignificant Qian Ling Ancient Clan provoke the newly appointed Demon
Lord of the Demon Sect? They were simply courting death!
"Qian Xue, or should I call you Qian Xue'er?" Ling Xue spoke first, calling out Qian Xue's
name.
"Either is fine. It's up to the Demon Lord!"
Qian Xue and Qian Chen turned around and bowed respectfully.
Qian Xue indeed had two names: Qian Xue and Qian Xue'er.
Qian Xue was given by her mother, while Qian Xue'er was given by her father.
"Master Demon Lord recognizes the little girl?"
Qian Chen turned around and respectfully bowed to Ling Xue. They had never met before,
yet Ling Xue knew his daughter's name. Did this mean there was a chance?
Could it be that Ling Xue had secretly been paying attention to his daughter?
Ling Xue merely smiled faintly and did not explain. Of course, he did not know her. He only
read about her in the original work. This girl… or rather, her missing mother, came from…
the foreign evil race.
