Demon Emperor!
Lu Lin's heart jolted, and he understood at once.
No wonder Xiao Chengdao had called Kong Xi the Peacock Princess and shown such obvious wariness toward her.
Perhaps I can rely on this towering tree for now and safely weather this period. Once my strength improves, I can decide what to do next.
Lu Lin's thoughts raced, and he quickly made up his mind.
"Very well. I'm willing to return to the Demon Domain with the princess!"
He immediately nodded in agreement, naturally changing how he addressed her as well.
Since he had decided to temporarily rely on the Peacock Emperor's faction, it was only right to show a little more respect toward Kong Xi, the princess.
A few pleasant words and a more respectful form of address wouldn't cost him anything.
"Good!" Kong Xi replied, delight plain in her eyes. "With your martial talent and the strength you've shown, once we return to the Demon Domain, my mother will surely value you and give you special training."
"Princess, please wait a moment."
At that, Lu Lin took out an Induction Talisman and infused it with True Aura.
He was trying to contact Luo Siqing.
However, after waiting for a long while, the Induction Talisman remained silent as a stone, showing no response at all.
The only possibility was that Luo Siqing and the others were too far away.
His Induction Talisman was of a high grade; it could sense others within ten thousand li. Since it showed no response now, Luo Siqing's group had to be more than ten thousand li away from him.
"Princess, my friends headed south to escape earlier. Could we go south for a while and look for them?" Lu Lin clasped his hands and asked.
"Of course. Just don't delay too long.
