The Myriad Demon King's Arrival

Yuanen Huihui stared at the grilled fish with sparkling eyes. Although elves liked eating fruit, that did not mean they did not like eating fish!

As Lin Yuan grilled the fish, he handed one that was done to Yuanen Huihui, then took one himself and began eating heartily.

Yuanen Huihui kept crying out that it was hot while carefully taking small bites. From time to time, he looked at the methodical Lin Yuan, especially when Lin Yuan pointed with his finger at the washed wild fruit beside them. Yuanen Huihui's eyes shone brightly, and a feeling called satisfaction instantly filled his entire body.

Although the seasonings were simple and the technique was simple, after passing through Lin Yuan's hands, the grilled fish seemed to have become a delicacy of the mortal world. Even Yuanen Huihui, who liked eating fruit, ate several of them for the first time ever.

After eating his fill, Yuanen Huihui sat off to one side hugging his knees and said, "It was so delicious, big brother. I still haven't asked you—what's your name?"

"Lin Yuan."

"Hello, Big Brother Lin Yuan. My name is Yuanen Huihui. From now on, Big Brother Lin Yuan, you can just call me Huihui."

"Mm." Lin Yuan was not surprised by this. He stood up, picked up his thermos again, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the moon in the sky.

"Big brother, do you have any hobbies?" Yuanen Huihui seemed especially fascinated by someone his own age and kept trying hard to find topics to talk about.

"Hobbies? Does liking women count?" Lin Yuan said lazily.

"Huh?" Yuanen Huihui blinked, his face blank.

Looking at Yuanen Huihui's dazed expression, Lin Yuan sighed. What a pity. In this world, not a single person could get his jokes.

"Just kidding. My hobby is sleeping." Lin Yuan pillowed his hands behind his head, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "After resting briefly tonight, we'll leave tomorrow. You shouldn't have anything else you need to do, right?"

"No, big brother."

Yuanen Huihui immediately snapped back to his senses and shook his head. Originally, he had wanted to find a Soul Beast in advance to make into a Soul Spirit, but the forest was too dangerous. He would wait until his martial soul awakened in the future.

After asking the Millennium Tree Demon to keep a slight watch and not let any Soul Beasts passing nearby trample him to death, Lin Yuan pillowed his head on his hands, gazed at the stars in the night sky, and gradually closed his eyes.

Although Yuanen Huihui had already slept for a full day and night, the mental trauma last night had left him still shaken. Sensing Lin Yuan beside him, Yuanen Huihui relaxed slightly. So this is what it feels like to have someone with me. It really is reassuring.

Soon, Yuanen Huihui fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Lin Yuan followed the path he had taken before and began hurrying back, while Yuanen Huihui naturally traveled together with him.

During the day, a small incident even happened.

That was, Yuanen Huihui's secret of being male during the day and female at night was seen through by Lin Yuan. Yuanen Huihui looked at Lin Yuan extremely nervously, but Lin Yuan, who had read the original work, naturally knew about it. He did not even raise an eyelid and only said, "Oh, that's pretty good."

Yuanen Huihui, who had always been mocked by others his age, seemed to find an outlet for his emotions and hugged Lin Yuan while bawling for half an hour.

They walked all the way until dusk the next day before Lin Yuan finally arrived at the camp.

The moment he arrived at the camp, Lin Yuan saw Yan Ruoting pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Mm, Xiao Lin, you're back!" Yan Ruoting looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and joy, but when she saw his clothes covered in bloodstains, she immediately grew anxious.

"What happened to all your injuries?"

"There was a small accident. It's fine." Lin Yuan shook his head, then looked at the place that was clearly missing many people and asked, "What happened here?"

Just as Yan Ruoting was about to speak, a shrill voice suddenly rang out.

"Huihui!"

Yun Liao walked out from the camp.

"Mom!" Seeing that beautiful woman, Yuanen Huihui instantly threw himself into her arms like a fledgling returning to the nest, hugging the woman's waist as he began to cry.

Yun Liao stroked Yuanen Huihui's head, her voice trembling. "Huihui, it's all Mom's fault. Before you turn eight, Mom will never take you to the mother planet again. You'll never run into your sister again..."

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Big Brother Lin Yuan. Big Brother Lin Yuan is amazing. He was the one who brought me back." Yuanen Huihui introduced Lin Yuan to Yun Liao with great excitement.

"Oh, Mom understands. Xiao Lin, please allow me to call you that. From now on, you are a friend of our elf race." Yun Liao nodded and looked at Lin Yuan gratefully.

"Mom, Big Brother Lin Yuan is really amazing. He defeated a really, really powerful Soul Beast..."

At first, Yun Liao listened with a face full of affection, and Yan Ruoting also asked about it with great interest. But the further they listened, the more shocked their expressions became. Especially when they heard that Lin Yuan, with the help of other Soul Beasts, had defeated a mutated Soul Beast that was almost ten thousand years old, both of them froze where they stood.

No, even if it was with the help of Soul Beasts, you defeated a Soul Beast that was nearly ten thousand years old and even signed a contract with that Soul Beast to take it in as a Soul Spirit?

Had this world gone crazy, or could I just not keep up with the times anymore?

But when Lin Yuan revealed that Void Soul Ring, Yan Ruoting's entire body went numb.

"Xiao Lin... how many points is your spiritual power?"

Yan Ruoting swallowed. She did not even notice how badly her voice trembled when she said that.

Lin Yuan withdrew his soul ring, held his cup, and said calmly, "320 points."

Yun Liao: "..."

Yan Ruoting: "..."

Yan Ruoting held her forehead as her body swayed a few times.

"Don't hold me up. I want some peace and quiet. I remember that a normal six-ring Soul Emperor's spiritual power is only around 600 points at the Spirit Sea Realm. Xiao Lin, you're only six years old and you already have 320 points... How are the rest of us supposed to live? Is this the world of geniuses? No wonder my teacher at the advanced academy said that the gap between geniuses is even greater than the gap between ordinary people and geniuses."

Yan Ruoting shook her head with a bitter smile.

Moreover, with Lin Yuan's family background, the Federation military would absolutely not allow any force to lay a finger on him or harm him. They would only respect his wishes and determine the course of his life. There was no other reason—the contributions Lin Yuan's parents had made to the Federation were simply far too great.

And the shocking events were not over yet.

All of a sudden, everything outside the camp fell silent. The birdsong and insect cries nearby seemed to have been cut off by something.

Yan Ruoting looked up, her pupils shrinking sharply. She saw a young man walking toward them, wearing a brown cloak made from the pelt of some unknown creature, with a black single-layer garment underneath.

His face was extremely pale, but deep within his eyes seemed to be countless pupils, devouring the light in the air.

"The Myriad Demon King? Why is he here?" Yan Ruoting stared in shock at the Myriad Demon King walking toward them, then instinctively looked at Lin Yuan. Her subconscious was telling her that this definitely had something to do with Lin Yuan.

"You must be Lin Yuan, right?" The Myriad Demon King seemed to know Lin Yuan. A faint smile appeared on his pale face.

"The Millennium Tree Demon in the forest's mixed zone has already told me everything. What's truly rare is that not only do you possess extraordinary talent, you also have a heart that even we Soul Beasts admire. You are simply like the Golden Dragon from ten thousand years ago..."
