Long Haochen, Future Demon God Emperor

Ten days later, Demon Capital Heart City, Demon Emperor Palace.

Huang Shuo, commander of the Black Dragon Guard, led members of the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan as they waited respectfully outside the palace gates, for today was the day Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu returned.

A luxurious carriage drawn by nine fine steeds slowly entered the palace. The driver was a member of the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan. When the carriage stopped, he opened the door, stepped down, and respectfully bent low.

Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu stepped down from the carriage onto the driver's back. Huang Shuo and the others immediately knelt in unison and cried out, "Welcome Your Majesty home!"

Feng Xiu paid them no heed. Instead, he extended a hand toward the carriage door. A delicate, boneless hand rested in his, and then a breathtakingly beautiful woman carrying an infant stepped down from the carriage.

An orchid-like fragrance spread through the air with the woman's appearance, refreshing Huang Shuo and the others. They only knew that Demon God Emperor had brought back a woman, and nothing more.

Though they were curious what sort of woman could ride in the same carriage as Demon God Emperor, no one dared raise their heads to satisfy that curiosity.

Bai Lingxuan looked at the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan members kneeling all over the ground, feeling somewhat uneasy. Only now did she personally understand what kind of man her husband truly was.

Her husband was Demon God Emperor, ruler of the Demon Race, the Demon Race's totem and law, the symbol of invincibility on the Holy Demon Continent.

Warmth flowed from his palm, easing Bai Lingxuan's unease. Looking into Feng Xiu's gentle, affectionate eyes, all her reservations vanished.

So what if he was Demon God Emperor? As long as he truly loved me, that was enough.

Feng Xiu took Bai Lingxuan's hand and slowly entered the bedchamber. The travel-weary family of three finally settled down.

Before long, news that a stunning woman carrying an infant had returned with Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu in the same carriage spread throughout Demon Capital Heart City. The demons in the city all discussed it in private.

As the supreme ruler of the Demon Race, Demon God Emperor naturally had many wives and concubines. Even bringing back a woman from outside was perfectly normal.

Yet Demon God Emperor had never shared a carriage with any of his wives or concubines. Aside from Moon Demon God Agares and Vashak, no one had ever ridden together with Feng Xiu.

But this woman had not only done so, she had also been carrying an infant. These unusual developments immediately caused a massive uproar among the Demon Race.

Yet no amount of outside gossip could affect this harmonious family of three. Ever since Bai Lingxuan moved into the bedchamber with Bai Yue, Feng Xiu had tirelessly taken on the duties of a doting father, caring for mother and daughter in every possible way.

At the same time, Feng Xiu issued an imperial decree appointing Bai Lingxuan as empress, which undoubtedly stirred up another enormous wave among the Demon Race.

Demon Race Crown Prince A Bao finally could not hold back any longer and went to find Feng Xiu.

"Father, didn't you say humans are merely livestock we raise? Why, then, did you unite with a human woman and even have a daughter?" A Bao demanded.

Feng Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, two sharp gleams flashing in his eyes as he said coldly, "What? Do you intend to interfere in my private affairs?"

Feng Xiu naturally knew what A Bao feared. He was simply worried that Bai Yue would threaten his position as crown prince.

"I would not dare." Seeing that Demon God Emperor was already angered, A Bao did not dare act presumptuously any further.

Feng Xiu quietly looked at A Bao, who stood below with his hands clasped, and let out a soft sigh.

"You are my biological son, and you are indeed outstanding. But your greatest weakness is your impatience, and you are often stubborn and self-righteous. To become Demon God Emperor, you need not only strength capable of crushing all opposition, but also the ability to rule over all. Once you achieve those two things, you will be a true Demon God Emperor. Bao'er, do you understand?"

A Bao answered, "I understand."

Feng Xiu slowly walked before A Bao and said solemnly, "Yue'er will not become your rival, but that does not mean new rivals will not appear in the future. You truly are not the sole heir."

"What you should be doing now is not coming here to throw a tantrum at me, but cultivating diligently and correcting your flaws. Go. Think carefully about what I said today."

"Your son takes his leave!"

Feng Xiu watched A Bao's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

If Long Haochen could be born safely, Feng Xiu would never pass the position of Demon God Emperor to A Bao.

In the original storyline, A Bao was far inferior to Long Haochen in both strength and wisdom. He was defeated by Long Haochen time and again, and in the end, was even crippled because of him.

Not only was A Bao's cultivation talent inferior to Long Haochen's, but he also had far too many flaws in his character. He was not the most suitable heir to Demon God Emperor.

Feng Xiu had not told A Bao this cruel truth just now. First, he did not want A Bao to become dispirited because of it. Second, Long Haochen had not even been born yet. Feng Xiu could hardly tell A Bao that the son of his less-than-one-year-old sister, Bai Yue, would be his rival.

At the thought of his grandson Long Haochen, a meaningful smile appeared on Feng Xiu's face.

In his previous life, he had regretted more than once that he had not brought Long Haochen back to the Demon Race sooner to raise him. Otherwise, the Demon Race would not have been destroyed because of it.

This time, he would never allow Long Haochen to escape his control again. He would make sure to raise Long Haochen properly and have him willingly inherit the position of Demon God Emperor in the future.

The human Child of Light, Long Haochen, a Divine Knight who possessed the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal, becoming Demon God Emperor—Feng Xiu found the very thought immensely amusing.

Forests never stood still, rivers never ceased to flow, and eighteen years passed in a hurry.

Ever since he had Bai Lingxuan, Feng Xiu's heart could no longer hold any other woman. Thus, he dismissed all the concubines in the palace and devoted himself solely to Bai Lingxuan.

When Bai Yue was six, the diligent Feng Xiu and Bai Lingxuan conceived another fruit of their love. After ten months of pregnancy, a fair and plump baby girl was safely born.

To make up for his regrets, Feng Xiu named his second daughter Leng Xiao.

Over the years, Feng Xiu took Bai Lingxuan and Bai Yue to the Temple Alliance every year to ease Bai Lingxuan's homesickness, while also laying the groundwork for Bai Yue to remain in the Temple Alliance long-term.

When Bai Yue was twelve, Feng Xiu sent her through a merchant association to the Priest Temple in the Southeastern Fortress.

That year, Bai Yue took the Priest Temple's assessment under the identity of an orphan. With her remarkable strength and cultivation talent, she successfully became a member of the Priest Temple.

Later, Bai Yue successfully broke through to become a Sixth Tier High Priest at the age of seventeen. Her cultivation talent truly shocked the Priest Temple, and she was hailed as its foremost genius.

Bai Yue's stunning beauty and formidable cultivation attracted countless admirers, and one of them was Long Xingyu, the renowned genius of the Knight Temple.
