Chapter 302 Is This Really the Demonic Realm?

Hearing these two long-lost words, she felt even more aggrieved. She turned around, pursed her lips and sobbed, and crawled into his arms.

She held onto his shirt, crying silently.

Realizing that she was still crying, Mo Xinglan stretched out his left hand and grabbed her right wrist which was holding his clothes, put it on his waist, and then hugged her with both hands.

He stroked her head and said, "Hug her and she won't cry anymore, okay?"

He had discovered long ago that she particularly liked to hug his waist.

Give her a hug now, as long as she doesn't cry.

"Yeah." Chujiu replied in a crying voice.

The hand on his waist tightened slightly.

She nuzzled his neck and said in a muffled voice, "Xingxing, can you hum a tune? Just think of it as... a birthday song for me."

He was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked her head: "...Okay."

So he hummed the song that he remembered his mother humming to put him to sleep when he was a child.

A melodious tune rang in my ears, and his sweet fragrance wafted into my nose.

In a trance, my upper eyelid touched my lower eyelid.

In sleepy eyes, he murmured: "Stars... stars..."

"Hmm?" He stopped humming and responded to her.

"...Xingxing needs to...get better...soon, get better..."

After the words were spoken, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

"……it is good."

……

In the next few days, under Mo Xinglan's instructions, Fang Hao was extremely busy preparing for the succession ceremony.

Chi Feng had been thrown to Fang Hao by Mo Xinglan a long time ago, so it was also there when Fang Hao was dealing with things. But the two of them miraculously stopped quarreling. Or maybe Fang Hao didn't have time to quarrel with Chi Feng, and Chi Feng wasn't a bird that would make trouble for no reason.

Originally, these tasks should have been accomplished by the left and right guardians and the four demon lords, but after the great war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago, although the Demon Realm won, it suffered heavy losses. The four demon lords and the left and right guardians were also seriously injured and died one by one over the long years.

Although several generations of demon kings and guardians have been replaced during this period, the strength of the Demon Realm has gradually declined. After the death of the former Demon King of the Southern Demon Realm, Yu You, the position of the Southern Demon King has been vacant, and the positions of the East and North have been vacant since the death of the previous generation of demon kings. The original Left Guardian Jinxi also died seventeen years ago.

Now only the Western Demon Lord Wu Li is left, but Wu Li is still in the tower.

So the load that was originally supposed to be for six people fell on Fang Hao, the right guardian. Fang Hao was in great pain.

Moreover, this was the first time he had dealt with such a serious matter, and the worst thing was that there was no one around to guide him.

Mo Xinglan also took this into consideration and reminded him that there was no need to be so grand and to skip all the necessary etiquette.

But although Mo Xinglan said so, it was the first time that Fang Hao had to deal with such an important matter, and perhaps it would only happen once in his life, so there was no way he was willing to lighten his workload.

It was a busy job day and night, but fortunately Chi Feng was there to help.

Mo Xinglan shouldn't worry about these things, and he had already dealt with the things in Caolian Valley a few days ago. Therefore, he was free all of a sudden, and he could finally have a good rest.

Although it was a rest, he didn't really rest.

He is currently refining pills in the alchemy room.

Refining elixirs is a very mentally taxing task. If you get distracted for even a moment, the elixir will easily be ruined.

As an alchemist, these are common things. There are even cases where the alchemy furnace explodes while refining the elixir. You can't be careless.

While Mo Xinglan was refining the elixir, Chujiu lay on the couch beside him with his eyes closed to rest, and from time to time he would receive the elixir thrown to him by Mo Xinglan.

She was already proficient in this operation, and she knew that he was recuperating her body again.

In fact, she felt that her health had improved a lot recently and she no longer got tired after playing for a while like before.

It seemed like she had been in the Demon Realm for a while, but she had never left the palace to go shopping, and she felt itchy.

She really wanted to know what the streets in the legendary Demon Realm looked like.

But if she proposed to leave the palace, Xingxing would definitely not agree, but she didn't dare to go out secretly.

She quietly opened her eyes and looked at the handsome profile of the boy in front of her.

He was particularly focused when he was refining the elixir, and his serious look was particularly attractive. But she was thinking about how to leave the palace and had no time to think about these things.

She thought for a while, and saw that he had just finished refining one, and stopped to prepare another one. She took the opportunity to ask: "Xingxing, how long are you going to practice?"

Judging from the time he spent refining the elixir before, it was still early, but she still asked.

"Feeling bored and want to go out?" Mo Xinglan paused and glanced sideways.

"Uh... hehe." She felt embarrassed when her little thought was exposed.

If he hadn't been so direct, she would have asked him not to give her any more pills, and then she could go out and play while he was concentrating on refining the pills, and then come back at the right time.

In that case, he shouldn't be able to notice that she went out, right?

Unfortunately, Mo Xinglan saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

He looked back at the one he was working on and sighed, "Will I go out with you after I finish refining this?"

Her eyes lit up: "Yeah."

So she stopped having any little thoughts and just waited obediently.

……

When the two of them went out, Chujiu saw Mo Xinglan's beautiful face. She was afraid that it would attract too much attention and affect her mood for shopping, so she suggested having a face change.

When Mo Xinglan heard her say this, he looked at her equally stunning face and thought it was feasible.

He just wanted to let them all know that he had a human woman he loved, and he always kept her by his side, but he didn't want them to see what she looked like.

If he could, he really wanted to lock her up and watch it alone, but she would be angry if he did that.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, no, it’s demons coming and going, it’s extremely lively.

The wide main street is lined with various stalls, with shouts, bargaining and inquiries mixed together.

The scenes before her were completely different from her impression of the Demon Realm streets.

Everywhere his eyes passed was so harmonious, as if this was not the devil's domain but an ordinary human market.

But many places are different from the streets in Hualing.

The things they buy vary greatly, and the things they wear vary greatly as well.

On a street in Hualing, most restaurants, taverns, weapons, and elixirs are covered.

But the Demon Realm is different.

Demon Realm is a street for weapons and equipment, another street for elixirs, and another street for food, drink and entertainment. And what everyone sells is mostly different, and each has its own unique features.

There are many streets in Demon Realm, but each has its own unique features.

Since entering the Demon Palace, her previous worldview has been shattered time and time again.

Before arriving at the Demon Realm, she thought that the Demon Realm should be filled with demonic energy, with dim vision and a very depressing feeling.

But the reality is completely opposite.

Previously, she had thought that there would not be any food, drink and entertainment shops on the streets of Demon Realm, but she did not expect that so far, the most common shops she had seen were food, drink and entertainment shops.

What's wrong with this world?

Is this really the Demon Realm?

I’m afraid it’s a fake!
