The Devil Emperor Returns After a Thousand Years Away

Now, he had only his two daughters. If they wanted the stars, he would pluck them from the sky. If they wanted the moon, he would knock it down for them!

There was nothing they weren't worthy of; there were only things that weren't worthy of them!

Lu Zixuan watched her father suddenly speak with such seriousness, a stark contrast to the kind and gentle father she remembered, and couldn't help bursting into laughter again.

"Dad, you sound really cool when you talk like that, but why do I still find it a little funny?"

Lu Qing'an wasn't angry at his daughter's reaction. Instead, he smiled dotingly.

"Then you'd better get used to it. Now that we're in the Demon Domain, your dad may have to change his image a little and show you a side of me you haven't seen before. Things are crueler here, and strength is valued above all else."

Over in the Immortal Ruins, people still observed the ways of social relations.

Here, whoever had the biggest fists was heaven.

He had been away from the Demon Domain for quite a long time, and he had made some contingency plans for his departure. But he had never contacted anyone here in all the years since, so presumably some people had disrupted the rules he had established in the past.

Or, having been away for so long, it was possible that some powerful members of the new generation didn't know his strength and would jump around merrily in front of him.

So he would very likely have to show his tough side to regain his footing in the Demon Domain.

"Also, your dad has quite a few enemies here. I beat them all into submission before, but I've been gone a long time now, and they may think they can take me on again. Those scheming fellows might use you to keep me in check, so I need to give you some things."

Lu Qing'an no longer let his daughter refuse and directly handed the divine weapon to his eldest daughter.

"Dad, is this really all right...?"

"If your younger brother has one, you should have one too. Didn't you say you could become a Great Emperor Realm expert as well? You said that in front of so many people not long ago, so you'd better work hard. We'll see whether you or your younger brother breaks through to the Great Emperor Realm first."

Hearing this, Lu Zixuan felt her drive surge once more. She looked at the divine weapon in his hand, gritted her teeth, and accepted it.

"Thank you, Dad!"

"No need to be polite with me."

Lu Qing'an reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, then looked at his youngest daughter, Lu Miaomiao, who was still in his arms.

"Miaomiao, Daddy has something good for you too!"

Lu Qing'an glanced at the armor and gave it a look.

The armor suddenly began to shrink rapidly.

In the end, it became just about the right size for Lu Miaomiao.

"Daddy, is this for Miaomiao? It looks so ugly..."

The armor already had a spirit of its own. When it heard Lu Miaomiao call it ugly, it immediately trembled.

Lu Qing'an couldn't help laughing.

"Blood Slaughter Battle Gear, did you hear that? My daughter doesn't like how you look right now. Change yourself into something a child would like!"

The Blood Slaughter Battle Gear, which was emitting black Qi all over, had no choice but to transform itself.

The black Qi suddenly changed into pink bubbles.

Its overall color scheme also changed from black and red to pink.

And to win the child's favor, it added little hearts and such in various places on the armor.

Those little decorations even glowed.

"Wow!!!"

Seeing the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear suddenly become so cute, with many parts of it even glowing, Lu Miaomiao was instantly captivated.

Seeing that his youngest daughter liked it, Lu Qing'an gave the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear a thumbs-up.

This fellow really does understand little girls!

"Miaomiao, do you like it now?"

"I do! I do! I really, really like it!!"

Lu Qing'an smiled and gave the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear another look.

The Blood Slaughter Battle Gear turned into a flash of light and flew onto Lu Miaomiao. When the light faded, Lu Miaomiao was wearing the suit of armor.

His youngest daughter's safety was what worried him most.

Grass Grieves on Sight could also protect his eldest daughter, but its defensive abilities naturally couldn't compare to those of his Blood Slaughter Battle Gear.

The Blood Slaughter Battle Gear could withstand even attacks from Peak Great Emperor Realm experts.

Wearing the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear, his daughter could stand still and let the very strongest Peak Great Emperor Realm experts in the world attack her for a long time without getting hurt.

"Miaomiao, why don't you give the gift Daddy gave you a new name? From now on, you can talk to it and have it turn any color you want. You can also make it invisible, or make it bigger or smaller."

It could also serve as a toy he had given his daughter.

"Wow! It's that much fun? Then let me think of a name!"

Lu Miaomiao loved the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear so much that stars shone in her big eyes.

She bit her finger and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "I've got it! Let's call it Doughnut!"

"Uh... Isn't that name a little hasty?"

Lu Zixuan smiled as she asked about the name her younger sister had chosen.

"It's not hasty! Look, big sis, doesn't it wrap around me? That makes it a ring. And it's so cute, so isn't it nice to call it sweet?"

Lu Miaomiao explained earnestly.

Lu Qing'an dotingly tapped the little one's nose. "All right, we'll go with what Miaomiao said. And it seems to like the name too."

"Really? It likes it too?!"

Lu Qing'an glanced at the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear, which was completely motionless, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.

The next moment, the Blood Slaughter Battle Gear shook rapidly.

"See? Isn't it acting very excited?"

Lu Qing'an looked back at his daughter with a gentle smile on his face.

"I think it is!" Lu Miaomiao said happily.

Lu Zixuan: "..."

Blood Slaughter Battle Gear: "..."

After giving his two daughters their gifts, Lu Qing'an also took some things out of the magma.

One of them was a spatial storage treasure of his.

Inside were all kinds of devil crystals that could be used for cultivation.

As well as all sorts of other things.

"That Little Blackie doesn't even listen to its master's orders. I told it to stand guard here, but who knows where it's run off to! When I find it, I'll skin it alive!"

He had originally intended to have his contract beast help him keep a close watch over his two daughters.

To his surprise, when he arrived, the contract beast was nowhere to be found.

It seemed it couldn't stand the loneliness and had run off to play!

His contract beast was a devil dragon, and it too had the strength of the Great Emperor Realm.

When he left, the black dragon's cultivation had been at the late Great Emperor Realm. Now that a thousand years had passed, he didn't know whether it had reached the peak Great Emperor Realm.

"All right, Daddy will take you both on a good look around the Demon Domain. Let's go."

After putting everything away, he flew upward and soon returned to the surface.

He picked a direction and once again flew off like a shooting star.

He was heading toward the nearest major city in the Demon Domain, a place called Demon Descent City.

It was one of the ten most prosperous cities in the Demon Domain.

If he wasn't mistaken, the black dragon should have gone to that city to play.

The city lord was one of his old rivals, whom he had beaten into submission. After he became the Devil Emperor, he had put this old rival in charge of the city.

"That old fellow's Devil Cultivation Method is quite good, and it seems suited to my daughter's constitution too. I'll get it from him and let her cultivate it to see if it's a good fit. It's just that the fellow is a bit of a blabbermouth. I'm afraid word of my return will spread throughout the Demon Domain soon after I see him. But that's a good thing too. Now that I'm back, I won't be leaving again anyway."
