[Second Senior Sister, you must hang in there!]

So that's how it is...

It seems they need to get to the royal city as soon as possible to rescue their second senior sister.

[Speaking of which, the old fox king and queen, tsk tsk...]

What's wrong?

Both of them pricked up their ears.

Wow, so many melons!

[Oh, I really want to go to the royal city to watch the drama unfold; it would be so exciting to see those two old guys fight!]

Wen Zhi and Fu Fengyuan intrigued. Did this mean the couple had conflicts? Could it be a classic case of "an elderly couple having marital problems and getting a divorce, but their five-hundred-year-old son is still his mother's precious treasure"?

Now I'm even more eager to get to the capital.

How could we miss out on this juicy gossip?!

Second Senior Sister, you absolutely must wait for them!

That night, Demon King City.

The turmoil at Demon Moon Mountain had just subsided, and demon servants could be seen patrolling everywhere in the palace. The Demon King, wearing two layers of heavy purple cloaks, was on Ye Xun, walking briskly toward a side hall.

"Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The guards all stopped and bowed.

Are people still behaving themselves?

"Since the king brought the people back, there has been no movement inside."

"I will go see her."

The guard hesitated, "Your Majesty, the Old Madam has given orders that the soul-seizing process is at a crucial moment, and no one is allowed to enter."

After hesitating for a moment, the Ye Xun took a step forward.

"Xun'er."

As the Ye Xun passed by, a graceful and elegant woman strode over. She looked very young, as if she were the same age as the Ye Xun, but her imposing presence was much greater.

Upon seeing her, the guards bowed and withdrew.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

"Xun'er, have you forgotten your mother's words?" Demon Race Dowager Zi Rong of the Demon Clan spoke gently to her son, "After tonight, once her soul is taken, she will become a puppet at our mercy. At that time, whatever you ask her to do, she will obey you without question."

"But..." Ye Xun said reluctantly, "She did save my son's life after all, and I don't want to repay kindness with enmity."

During the turmoil at Demon Moon Mountain, he nearly died and was hunted all the way to the edge of the Demon Realm. He was forced to revert to his original form and hide in the Human Realm. If it weren't for Xiao Tingyu saving him, he probably would have died from his injuries. Using Fox Clan charms to have her escort him to the Demon Realm already went against her wishes, not to mention...

"My son, for someone of her status to become the Demon Queen is an honor!" Zi Rong said. "Her children will inherit the Demon Race King's throne in the future. What more could she ask for?"

The Ye Xun fell silent.

"You need to think this through. It's her blessing to bear my son's child," the Empress Dowager said calmly. "I've heard she's the eldest daughter of the Xiao Household, the wealthiest Xiao Household in the Cultivation World."

"Yes."

After bringing the person back to the Demon Realm, the Ye Xun thoroughly investigated Xiao Tingyu's identity.

"After the wedding, contact the head of the Xiao Household and inform them that the Queen is seriously ill. Ask the Xiao Household to send more heavenly materials and earthly treasures," Zi Rong instructed. "Husband and wife are one; the Xiao Household's money is our money."

"Just bear with it tonight, and that stupid woman will be at your mercy."

"Mother is right."

Zi Rong and her son looked at the tightly closed door, as if they could already see the Xiao Household's magical Law Artifact flowing into the Demon Realm, and a satisfied smile appeared on their lips.

The Soul-Seizing Formation can seize a person's mind, turning them into a blank slate, and then implanting their own thoughts into them.

Don't blame her for being ruthless. Xiao Tingyu delivered herself to her doorstep, so she should obediently become her son's vassal and listen to him forever.

Inside the room, the array shone brightly.

The woman trapped in the formation had beads of sweat on her forehead. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyeballs rolled rapidly under her eyelids, as if she were experiencing a deep nightmare.

In her mind, she could feel that her past memories were fading away little by little.

She's almost forgotten who she is...

Master, eldest brother, third sister... familiar faces flashed before her eyes one by one, but the last one she remembered was her youngest sister's bright smile, her eyes crinkling as she called her "second sister."

Her mind was in turmoil, the Soul-Seizing Formation shone brightly, and everything had reached a critical juncture.

A soft creak came from the window frame.

Chapter 58 Counterattack

The Demon King City is located in the center of the Demon Realm, and its prosperity is no less than that of the Heavenly Secrets City. The streets are bustling with demons, shoulder to shoulder, and very lively.

Unlike Heavenly Secrets City, the people traveling on the road were Demon Race, not cultivators. They all had strange and unusual Demon Race features. Fish demons with fish heads and human tails were not uncommon, and monsters with three heads and four legs were also quite rare. They even saw a giant octopus demon with a small demon sitting on each of its tentacles. It wriggled more than a hundred tentacles and paraded through the city. The scene was truly spectacular.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that this was an octopus-shaped carriage unique to the Demon Race, just like the horse-drawn carriages of the Human Race, serving as a means of transportation.

But if the octopus monster gets hungry, it might just curl its tail and eat all the passengers on the bus.

Everyone:

This is truly risking one's life on a bus ride!

Is it fair to say they are indeed Demon Race?

There are too many demons on the street. If you're not careful, you'll get brushed against by their scales or trip over someone's tail. The sounds of cursing and swearing are endless.

"Damn it, get your tail out of the way, it's blocking the way!"

"My tail was born this long, are you jealous?"

"Jealous my foot! Mine is way bigger than yours!"

"Go ahead and pay if you dare!"

The demon actually pulled up his pants suddenly, Wen Zhi instinctively covered Qiaoqiao's eyes.

"Hmm, did he take it out?"

"..."

Wen Zhi slowly lowered her hand, and saw the demon pull out a large stick with a whoosh. Before it could strike, it was knocked down by a solid punch from the demon opposite.

"Trying to fool me? Dream on!"

With a flick of her tail, the banshee sent the troublemaker flying three miles into the air, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater before leisurely walking away.
