Liu Xinrong was not surprised at all by Yu Jinshuo's question. It would be strange if anyone didn't suspect anything if they saw Liu Xinya return to the demon realm at this time.
"After my sister returned, she never left the Liu residence, and she rarely even left the courtyard where she lived. It's like she's living in seclusion." Liu Xinrong didn't defend Liu Xinya, but instead explained Liu Xinya's situation at the Liu residence.
Yu Jinshuo looked at Liu Xinrong and smiled coldly: "You seem to know your sister's situation very well."
"Of course." Through this period of "training," Liu Xinrong no longer felt the same fear of Yu Jinshuo as before.
If you're no longer afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?
"Of course?" Yu Jinshuo was already unhappy, and seeing Liu Xinrong like this, how could he feel comfortable?
His eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing in them—a sign that he was about to unleash his fury.
“My sister is back, and at a time like this, I naturally have to be extra careful. Firstly, for my sister's sake, and secondly, for the sake of the Prince.” Liu Xinrong’s clear and logical words surprised Yu Jinshuo.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Yu Jinshuo didn't believe it at all. Could Liu Xinrong really come up with a reason?
The reason I asked that question was simply to find a topic to pass the time.
“My sister had no protection in the Demon Realm, so it’s only natural that she returned to the Monster Realm. Your Highness is the King of the Monster Realm, so it’s only right that we give him news about my sister.” Liu Xinrong’s understanding surprised Yu Jinshuo.
“You seem a little different.” Yu Jinshuo looked closely at Liu Xinrong and discovered another side of her that was different.
Liu Xinrong couldn't even manage a fake smile; she simply lowered her eyes, staring at the ground, and didn't look at Yu Jinshuo.
Yu Jinshuo was very uncomfortable with Liu Xinrong's behavior. He hadn't invited Liu Xinrong over to "discuss" the problem, but rather to vent his frustrations. He never expected that Liu Xinrong would be so weak and limp, like a pile of cotton.
The punch went completely wide.
"Forget it, you can go back." Yu Jinshuo waved his hand irritably, feeling very uncomfortable with Liu Xinrong in front of him.
Liu Xinrong bowed and left without any objection.
Yu Jinshuo was extremely frustrated, but for the Demon Realm, it was also an uncomfortable time.
The Demon Emperor simply gripped the letter in his hand, turning it into ashes.
Seeing that the Demon Emperor's expression was not quite right, King Luan asked nervously and worriedly, "Your Majesty, what important matter has come to the Immortal Realm?"
"News has come from the Immortal Realm: they are sending troops." The Demon Emperor said coldly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, yet it sent a chill down Luan Wang's spine.
The immortal realm is really going too far. What does that mean?
Is it an order?
By what right does the Celestial Realm have the authority to command the Demon Realm?
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm..." King Luan wanted to say something more, but the Demon Emperor waved his hand, stopping King Luan from speaking further, and directly ordered: "Send troops to attack the Demon Realm."
"What?" King Luan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He never expected the Demon Emperor to make such a decision.
The Demon Emperor's cold gaze swept over them like a sharp, unsheathed blade: "Didn't you understand?"
"Your subordinate dares not." How could the King of Luan dare to disobey the Demon Emperor's decision? He quickly bowed and withdrew, then gave the orders.
Soon, the demon army was fully prepared for battle.
When King Jing learned of the news, the demon army had already completed its preparations, and he hurriedly rushed to the Demon Palace.
"Your Majesty, this matter..." King Jing asked somewhat displeased. Why didn't you tell him before you went to attack the demon realm?
He was, after all, one of the three kings of the demon realm.
The Demon Emperor sat on his throne, coldly glancing sideways at King Jing: "Does the Demon Realm's decision need your approval?"
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare." Even if the King of Jing harbored ulterior motives, he could sense that the Demon Emperor's emotions were not quite right. What was wrong with him?
"Since you dare not, then set off with the demon army. You have two hours." Once the Demon Emperor's order was given, it could not be changed.
The King of Jing felt a chill run down his spine; something seemed amiss.
Despite his secret contemplation, King Jing dared not disobey the Demon Emperor's orders. He quickly retreated and gave orders to his men to immediately join the Demon Army.
Just as King Jing was preparing his troops, the Demon Emperor sent someone to summon King Qi.
The King of Jing had already received the news, and the King of Qi, being of equal status to the King of Jing, naturally also received it. However, unlike the King of Jing, even after learning the news, he remained in his own residence, unmoved.
It wasn't until the Demon Emperor summoned him to the Demon Palace that King Qi followed the messenger there.
"King Qi." Upon seeing King Qi approach, the Demon Emperor asked cryptically, "News has arrived from the Immortal Realm. They've begun to mobilize their troops, requesting our cooperation in launching a joint attack. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Your Majesty's decision is certainly not wrong," King Qi said, neither humble nor arrogant.
This attitude, just like his usual self, is inconspicuous and easily overlooked.
"Since that's the case, you can stay in the Demon Realm and wait for us to have a grand victory celebration." The Demon Emperor laughed loudly. A person who was always as cold as an ice block suddenly burst into laughter, which was as frightening as it could be.
Even the usually emotionless King Qi's brow twitched slightly.
No matter what, it was just a slight emotional fluctuation, a tiny fluctuation that wasn't even a ripple on the surface of a lake, and it subsided immediately.
The King of Qi nodded in agreement, simply saying, "Yes."
"Good." The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly, "The matter of the Three Realms is finally about to change."
King Qi lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the glint of shrewdness that flickered within them.
The Demon Emperor glanced at King Qi, then casually summoned his trusted confidant and instructed him, "Stay in the Demon Realm and help King Qi prepare a victory banquet."
