"The first reason is a statement made by the Blood Devil Emperor before he left, which is regarded by the people of the Devil Realm as a prophecy left by the Blood Devil Emperor!" Alice said.
" The Blood Devil Emperor once said that his successor would return to the Devil Realm in the future, reclaim everything that once belonged to him, and usher in a new era for the Devil Realm. Now it seems that the person the Blood Devil Emperor was referring to is you."
Qi Ling was immediately startled. How come the Blood Devil Demon had never told her that he had left behind such a prophecy? Wasn't this clearly putting her in a very dangerous position?
No wonder that even though his skills weren't particularly outstanding, he was still considered the strongest competitor by everyone when he participated in the competition. With such a prediction, it would be difficult for them not to pay attention to him.
Before one's wings are fully grown, it's best to keep a low profile and develop stealthily. Besides, one knows absolutely nothing about this world, and then suddenly becomes a public enemy—the pressure of that is no joke.
Seeing the melancholy look in Qi Ling's eyes, Alice clearly knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile and comfort Qi Ling, "Oh, Qi Ling, don't be so melancholy. Perhaps Blood Devil Demon only did this to give you more experience, which shows that he trusts your strength."
"Sigh, forget it. I know him too well. He's just doing this to see me make a fool of myself," Qi Ling said. "So, what's the second thing you're doing?"
"The second thing is about my second sister, Bai Qian," Alice said with a smile. "Hehe, Qi Ling, you should have already had some contact with her, right? Perhaps you know that their clan is most skilled in divination and astrology, and my second sister is one of the best in it. In the Devil Realm, there are very few who can compare to her."
"My second sister performed a divination on you, and the conclusion was that you are a friend, not an enemy! So she finally persuaded my eldest sister, and the approach she took towards you has become what it is now. You should thank your second sister properly!"
Qi Ling hadn't expected such a thing to happen. Whatever Bai Qian had divined, it was extremely important to her. Having an ally was better than having enemies all around.
"Indeed, Alice, I must say, you were right about me," Qi Ling said. "If you were to ask me to join your side in a condescending manner, I would absolutely refuse, no matter the cost."
"But now, I owe you a favor, and I am very grateful for your help at this time. I am even more grateful to you for being so kind to Luna."
Alice laughed and said, "Hehe, not at all. Actually, we should thank you for taking care of Luna. Luna's a very important person to us, so thank you for always looking after Luna."
Upon hearing Alice's words, Xiluo immediately hugged Luna and said, "Ah, yes, yes, I also want to thank you, Qi Ling. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to see Luna."
Seeing Qi Ling's rather puzzled look, Alice couldn't help but smile and say, "You must be wondering why we would say that, right? Qi Ling, there's a reason for it."
"Our cat demon clan, regardless of breed, can never develop into a large family, nor can it form a large family like our eldest sister and second sister."
"All cat demons awaken their powers later in life, which means that once we reach this stage, we can only be alone. Therefore, for us, any other groupmates are like family, our closest people."
"So, Xiluo, and Luna!" Alice smiled and patted their heads, though it seemed a little awkward for her petite frame. "They're my sisters, my closest people!"
Both Xiluo and Luna were deeply moved by Alice's words. Xiluo even picked them both up and said, " Alice, Luna, I will definitely become stronger and protect you both!"
After that, Alice and Xiluo, being non-contestants, naturally couldn't stay long and left soon after. What they said left Qi Ling pondering for a long time.
The situation in the Devil Realm is far more unfavorable to him than he imagined. He is surrounded by enemies, and even with the Demon Alliance, he cannot rely on them too much, otherwise they will not only look down on him, but he will also lose the initiative.
According to Alice, after the Demon God Contention Battle ends and she re-enters the Devil Realm, that will be the time when she truly has to face everything. She will have to face enemies she could never have imagined before, and more importantly, everything will be unknown. Everything she is familiar with will no longer be usable.
What's even more tragic is that even if he didn't come to the Devil Realm and went to the Divine Realm instead, the situation would be the same, or even worse! According to what he learned from the Dragon Maiden, his treatment in the Divine Realm would definitely not be much better; he would also be a VIP, a public enemy.
After all, there is an irreconcilable deep-seated hatred between the gods and Divine Beast in the Divine Realm, and as the reincarnation of the Dragon God, whether he likes it or not, he already represents the interests of all the Divine Beast.
Because of this consideration, Qi Ling had been thinking for a while that after Tang San and the others went to the Divine Realm, it would be best if she didn't go with them and instead cultivated in the Devil Realm.
It's not too late to go to the Divine Realm when you have enough power to protect yourself, or even to solve all problems. With the help of Xiao San and the others, you can work together from the inside and outside and achieve twice the result with half the effort!
However, to Qi Ling's surprise, her plan to secretly develop and grow in a stealthy manner was thwarted by the Blood Devil before it could even be implemented. The enemy she was about to face was one that she was not capable of handling in her current state.
"Sigh, there's really no other way. Rather than pursuing grand ambitions, I should think about how to survive!" Qi Ling said helplessly as she lay down on the recliner.
Luna, standing nearby, quickly and firmly said, "Mr. Qi Ling, I will definitely protect you! Don't worry!"
Qi Ling patted Luna's head helplessly and smiled, "Thank you, Luna, but you should take good care of yourself first. It seems that the people from the Demon Alliance are truly sincere towards you. Do you like them?"
"Yes, I like them. Xiluo and Alice are both very kind to me, as are the others," Luna said. "Of course, my favorite is Mr. Qi Ling!"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "I know, Luna, thank you."
