Hard to Escape Blame

"Your command shall be obeyed, Your Majesty!" Dream Demon immediately nodded obediently.

Having followed the Lord of the Prison of Suppression for so long, he understood very well what he should do in many situations.

At the very least, now that His Majesty the Lord of the Prison was in a bad mood, he absolutely had to comply with all his arrangements, without talking back or showing any defiance.

And he had to display utmost loyalty. Of course, Dream Demon was sincerely loyal to begin with—even in his thoughts, he had to be the sort of loyal devotee who prostrated himself completely.

Otherwise, who knew whether His Majesty the Lord of the Prison could read minds? What if he heard that the devotion in my heart was insufficient?

Your Majesty, Lord of the Prison, if you can hear my thoughts, please rest assured. My loyalty to you was innate, without the slightest stray thought. This is only natural...

As Dream Demon thought to himself, he transformed into a mass of warped light and shadow and burrowed into Gao Quan's body.

At once, Gao Quan's heart, which had been still for some time, began beating again. He abruptly opened his eyes, rose to his feet, and knelt before Li Fan in salute. "I have not failed your command, Your Majesty. This human is still usable."

Gao Quan's body had previously been used by Much-Heard Heavenly King, and his brain still retained a degree of activity, allowing a great deal of information to be extracted from it.

While uneasy, Dream Demon also felt a faint thrill in his heart.

His Majesty the Lord of the Prison had asked him to remain in reality and control this human body. Clearly, he intended for him to assist His Majesty's incarnation in the real world.
