Xu Lang led Red Butterfly back to Demon King Castle, looking for all the world like a parent bringing a troublesome child home.
Red Butterfly did not see it that way.
As far as she was concerned, she had been through plenty on this trip, grown as a person, and somehow inherited the Queen's Residence. Surely she had earned the right to brag a little.
"Hahaha! Tong Qi, do you know what happened while I was out?"
The moment Red Butterfly stepped out of the Black Vortex Gate at Demon King Castle, she started shouting before she had even spotted Tong Qi.
Xu Lang had given everyone a heads-up, so the women did not give her the cold shoulder.
After all, Red Butterfly really had done something worthwhile this time.
In Xu Lang's view, the players' exploration of Dusk Veil had made no real progress. Red Butterfly, on the other hand, had stumbled straight into a windfall.
Under normal circumstances, the residence in Dusk Veil would have remained asleep for some time. The Blood Mist Creature's attack on the building had caused it to wake briefly ahead of schedule. Red Butterfly had gone inside during that brief window and perfectly met the conditions to inherit the Queen's Residence...
The coincidences piled up so high that Xu Lang almost suspected the Mad King Building was pulling strings behind the scenes.

"Nope!
