Chapter 1542 Chapter 1542: So you didn"t die
"It"s time you came home, Senior." The Demon Princess respectfully bowed before Long Chen.
As Long Chen could hear everything that was being told to the Demonic Emperor, he was somewhat surprised. The girl was the Princess of the Demon Realm. In other words, she was on the same level as Zhu Chang, if not higher. Her father was the current Demon King, who he had heard so much about.
"Fine. I will come with you to your realm." The Demonic Emperor accepted the invitation ultimately. For what he needed to do, he needed a force to make things comparatively easier for him. Moreover, he also wanted to see just how much his people had grown in his absence.
There was another reason that he accepted this invitation. He wanted Long Chen to come with him to the place that was going to be his home. He wanted to bring some goodwill inside Long Chen"s heart for his people so he could start considering them like family as well.
Even though the Demonic Emperor was sure that he was going to destroy the Heaven before he went away, leaving no threat for his people, he still wanted his descendants to stay close to Long Chen.
If it was anyone else, they might"ve selected their own descendant to give their strength, but he selected Long Chen, and that"s the decision he was going to stick to.
There was another thought in his mind. If possible, he wanted to make sure that after he left, Long Chen became a part of his own family. In other words, he wanted Long Chen to be married to the Demonic Princess, but he knew that forcing Long Chen wasn"t the solution. That"s why he decided to leave these things to Long Chen.
He decided to give Long Chen an opportunity to get to know the Demonic Princess. In any case, he wasn"t going to control the body most of the time, so that gave Long Chen plenty of time to get to know the Demon King and the young Princess.
"I will come, but I won"t be coming alone though." Some more words came out of Long Chen"s lips, but it wasn"t the Demon Emperor who was speaking this time.
Since Long Chen could speak as well, he took that privilege and placed his own side forward.
"I think I forgot to introduce you two..." The Demonic Emperor spoke, surprising the Demon Princess. What was he talking about?
"As you might know, this isn"t my own body. And I"ve been sharing it with someone else. The one you heard was Long Chen. He is the one who owns this body and also my disciple."
"So, in other words, Long Chen will be my heir, as I have decided. Most of the time, I won"t be controlling this body. It"ll be like I don"t even exist, so you"ll have to deal with that guy. I"ll only come out on important occasions."
The Demon Emperor explained.
Hearing the explanation, Aira wondered just why was her Ancestor going so far for a human? Why doesn"t he just destroy that person"s soul? Why does he want that person as his disciple?
She was also slightly jealous. She would"ve loved to be the disciple of her ancestor as well since it would"ve meant that her progress would be quite high, but he had already selected someone. Not only was that person not a demon, but he was also someone she had to deal with.
It was like her ancestor was pa.s.sing on the inheritance that belonged to her on a human, which made her somewhat uncomfortable, but she maintained her expression. She didn"t let it show on her face.
"If Ancestor want it, then it must be important," she stated. "May I ask who else your disciple wants to bring to our realm with us?"
Long Chen took the lead again. "I want to bring my family and my friends with me."
"I suppose that would be Zhu Chang and your family that stays at the Realm of the Black Tortoise?" The Demon Princess already knows about Long Chen"s family and quite a lot about his journey, thanks to his clone. In fact, she was also fooled into attempting to kidnap them, which she somewhat regretted.
"That"s right. Since I"ll be out on this long journey, I want my family to come with me, and I want them to be safe."
"Don"t worry. We will protect your family from every harm. You are a disciple of our ancestor. He has selected you, so of course you"re our guest as well." The young lady accepted. She couldn"t just say no after all. "Shall we go then? If we are done here?"
"Hmm?" Long Chen looked up, somewhat surprised. "It seems we might have to delay the plan a bit."
The entire world had started turning somewhat warm as a bright light came from the sky. Everyone looked up, noticing multiple b.a.l.l.s of fire coming closer. As the b.a.l.l.s of fire got closer, they all noticed that it wasn"t a ball of fire. Instead, each ball of fire had a person inside.
"The Phoenix Queen?" Black Tortoise Patriarch frowned. He was more curious about the woman with a rainbow flame around her, which made his Bloodline tremble a bit.
That Bloodline suppression made him realize who that woman was.
He went down on one knee, respectfully greeting the Rainbow Phoenix.
"Ancestral Beast?" Zhu Chang also went down on one knee respectfully. Even Snake Monarch felt his Bloodline Tremble.
Not long after, a Majestic Dragon also arrived there, covering a major part of the sky.
"The Dragon King?"
"The Ice Phoenix Queen?"
A snow white phoenix also arrived, making her surroundings a bit colder.
"Royal Qilin?"
One after another, more and more G.o.d Beast Kings and Queens arrived there, surprising the Black Tortoise King. "It looks like they also sensed something wrong here. The chaos was so powerful that it managed to draw them all here."
Instead of looking at the Black Tortoise King, who was on his knees, the Rainbow Phoenix glared at Long Chen.
"So you didn"t die…."
