Morning Star

Chapter 277: A Kingly Aura

The Border Demon Forest is close to the space barrier leading into the Demon Realm. In order to prevent humans from accidentally passing through the space barrier and entering the Demon Realm, it is the most dangerous forest in the entire Demon Realm.

Naturally, he did not dare to relax at all, and even when Chujiu fell asleep at night, he was often awake.

Now that I can finally relax, my body naturally can't hold on any longer.

Mo Xinglan looked at the self-blame in her eyes, forced a smile, raised his somewhat weak hand and gently smoothed her frown: "I'm fine, just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

She held that hand and placed it on her cheek, rubbing it gently: "...Well, then you should have a good rest."

Is she so gullible? As if she has no eyes?

But what can she do?

"Okay, wake me up when you get there." He agreed readily.

"Ah."

The flying speed of the pterosaur is one of the best in the entire Demon Realm, and even in the entire human and demon worlds. It has both speed and combat power, making it suitable for combat and transportation.

Even so, they didn't arrive at the Demon Palace until the next morning.

Mo Xinglan hadn't woken up since he fell asleep last time. It was Chujiu who woke him up when he arrived.

Since Bai Yue'er's death, there has been no Demon Lord in the Demon Realm for nearly ten years.

At that time, Bai Yue'er knew that her time was up, so she handed over all the affairs of the Demon Realm to the Western Demon Lord Wu Li and her trusted right protector Fang Hao.

Fang Hao was the young man who looked to be in his twenties and had stood next to Wu Li before.

Now, after nearly ten years, the Little Demon Lord has returned. When the demons and soldiers in the Demon Realm knew about it, they were all full of energy as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

However, some people were very dissatisfied after learning that the Little Demon Lord was half-demon. It seemed that Mo Xinglan might not be able to convince the public.

Wu Li and Fang Hao had been in charge of all the affairs of the Demon Realm for the past ten years. Now that the Little Demon Lord was back, it was time to hand them over to him. Past affairs also needed to be reported to the Little Demon Lord. There were also matters related to the succession ceremony that needed to be prepared for the new Demon Lord to take over, so Mo Xinglan had a lot to deal with.

It was just after lunch. Mo Xinglan was sitting in the main seat of the Experience Hall in the Demon Palace's large study, with his elbows on the armrests of the couch and his palms supporting his forehead. He looked at Wu Li and Fang Hao in front of him expressionlessly.

In front of him was a long table with books recording all the events of the past years. Next to him stood Chujiu, the impulsive temporary maid, who was looking down and snapping her fingers.

The Experience Hall is an important place in the Demon Palace. Generally, you cannot come here without the permission of the Demon Lord. Wu Li and Fang Hao did not allow Chu Jiu to come with them, and they were also more concerned about the fact that Chu Jiu was a human. The two, especially Wu Li, were the most dissatisfied with Chu Jiu.

However, the little demon king was angry and insisted that the little human girl follow him. In addition, he was injured and needed someone to support him from time to time, but he didn't allow the two of them to touch him, only the little girl, so he had no choice but to let Chujiu follow him.

"Before the First Lord left, he entrusted all matters in the Demon Realm to my subordinates and the Right Protector. These on the table are records of everything that happened in the past ten years. Please take a look." Wu Li said in a serious tone.

Mo Xinglan glanced at the table.

Looking at the piles of books, pamphlets and bamboo scrolls on the table, Chujiu cursed in his heart: There are so many, will Xingxing be able to rest?

Wu Li looked at Mo Xinglan's pale face and sighed, "Your Majesty can just look at these when you have time, or the Right Protector can tell you. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing."

Chujiu raised his eyebrows: You still have some conscience.

Mo Xinglan just looked at him calmly without saying anything.

After a pause, Wu Li bowed his head and said, "According to the rules of the Demon Realm, a succession ceremony must be held when each Demon Lord takes over. Although your situation is special, the succession ceremony is the most important event in the Demon Realm. When do you think it will be held..."

What he meant was that he hoped Mo Xinglan could hold the succession ceremony as soon as possible.

Mo Xinglan sat up straight and leaned lazily against the back of the couch: "I will make the decision on this matter. Is there anything else?"

Wu Li nodded, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Since the Lord has returned, do you think you should change your self-proclaimed name?"

Before, when he was in Piaomiao Domain, he called himself "I" and he didn't say anything. But now that he has returned and is willing to succeed the position of Demon Lord, he can't keep saying "I, I, I" all day long.

"You call yourself that?" Mo Xinglan murmured.

Actually, he doesn't care about this.

Chujiu, on the other hand, smiled at him with interest, then raised his hand to clear his throat and said seriously, "Xingxing wants to call himself 'this deity'."

After hearing this, he looked at her sideways with a smile in his eyes: "Jiu'er cares about my self-proclaimed name?"

She lowered her head and touched the tip of her nose, then smiled and said, "No, it's just that I think it's so domineering for Xingxing to call himself 'the real one'. Hehe, he has a domineering aura."

"Bastard?" He frowned, suspecting that she was scolding him.

She coughed lightly and explained, "It's not the number eight, it's the domineering Ba. Don't misinterpret what I mean."

After a pause, afraid that he might not believe her, she added: "Xingxing, don't you know? You are not only beautiful... uh, you are also extremely beautiful."

Seeing his unhappy look, she immediately changed the subject and continued, "And your words and actions reveal nobility and elegance. You are definitely not an ordinary person. Your aura of a superior makes people want to submit to you. Hehe."

Wu Li and Fang Hao secretly agreed after hearing this. The little human girl was quite sensible.

Mo Xinglan smiled and said, "Why doesn't Jiuer just kneel down and surrender to me?"

"Forehead……"

She hadn't expected this either.

Her dark eyes rolled around, and she raised her head proudly: "I swore to get you, how can I surrender to you?"

He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then his heart warmed and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

There was a flash of displeasure in Wu Li and Fang Hao's eyes.

What a shameless statement.

Where did she get her confidence from? A mere human girl, how could she dream of getting their Lord at such a young age? Their first Lord was killed by humans, and she actually dared to say such a thing. If it weren't for the fact that the Lord protected her so much and she was wearing the hairpin of the first Lord on her head, she would have chopped her off long ago.

However, what they had not expected was that Chujiu had even more brazen words to say.

But she didn't say it out loud, instead she sent a message to Mo Xinglan: "Although I can't surrender to Xingxing, Xingxing can bow down at my feet. I'm happy to do that."

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a smile from Mo Xinglan that was not fully understood.

The feeling of smugness disappeared immediately, and then he said timidly: "Haha, what I mean is, pomegranate skirts and the like are nothing but clouds, what's important is your person."

"Yeah." The smile on his face gradually reached his eyes, and he replied softly.

Chujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Li and Fang Hao naturally did not hear the conversation between the two.
