Chapter 79: Playfulness on a Moonlit Night, A Family Reunion, A Powerful Demon God!
"There is likely a true Demon God present here."
Ye Ling said coldly.
Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned and asked in surprise, "What? A Demon God? That's impossible, right?"
"That is a Demon God, one of only seventy-two, a peak powerhouse of the Demon Race who wields a Demon God Pillar. Never mind Odin Town; even Haoyue City likely holds no value to them."
"What if this Demon God is a newly ascended one, looking for a place to earn merit and practice?" Ye Ling countered.
This situation had occurred countless times over the past six thousand years; Li Xin knew of more than ten such instances herself.
Thinking of this, Li Xin did not reach out her hand; a rose-colored magic array appeared beneath her, and a moment later, a magnificent pink steed slowly stepped out.
Its eyes were rose-colored, the small wings on its back were constantly flapping, and the small pink horn on its head was not particularly sharp yet, but it had already taken shape.
That was Li Xin's Magic Beast, the Rose Unicorn.
After Rose appeared, she looked around, feeling a bit strange, but then turned to the peculiar atmosphere between her master and the young man beside her.
Her little Magic Beast brain seemed to understand something, yet also didn't quite understand.
But she was very familiar with this young man's aura. She obediently stretched out her head and rubbed it against Ye Ling's face. Ye Ling only felt the scent of roses rushing toward him, and his face felt a bit damp, carrying a faint rose fragrance; this was clearly a sign of affection from the Rose Unicorn.
This was normal, however; what a Magic Beast recognizes, aside from a contract, is the origin of an aura. Although many things had happened over the past two years, Ye Ling's aura origin had not changed at all, other than perhaps becoming a bit more radiant.
After Li Xin and she completed their contract previously, Rose had always been very affectionate toward Ye Ling.
Moreover, she understood the relationship between Ye Ling and her master Li Xin very well; having not seen him for two years, it was normal for her to care about Ye Ling first.
It was just that Li Xin, watching all this from the side, felt somewhat helpless.
"The world is turned upside down, truly turned upside down. I finally understand how Star Universe Hall Master felt just now. Is this my Magic Beast partner or yours?" Li Xin looked at Ye Ling unexpectedly and complained.
Ye Ling swung onto the horse; Rose did not resist at all, standing steady and firm.
This left Li Xin speechless.
She mounted the horse herself, landing in front of Ye Ling, and went to control Rose to leave.
"Let's go, Rose," Li Xin called out.
Instantly, Rose galloped away. She could sense her master's anxiety and did not hesitate for a moment, leaving at her fastest speed.
Smelling the rose fragrance on Sister Xin'er, Ye Ling fell into thought.
After they left, a moon-purple light descended; it was the young girl in the purple dress, Yue Ye.
She flew out slowly at this moment, her fantastical Spiritual Power constantly flashing, carrying illusions.
"This young man is truly worthy of being able to defeat Xiaoxiao."
"This strength is indeed extraordinary. Even those powerful members of the Demon Race who have been enhanced by the Demon God Pillar and are stronger than him can be wiped out by him in just a few rounds."
"Although he is a Punishment Knight, he is not some mindless brute; he uses his brain to make decisions. If the Temple Alliance can have such a genius, perhaps they really might be able to fight the Demon Race in the future."
Yue Ye thought to herself quite frankly. For the proud her to say such things, one could imagine the evaluation Ye Ling held in her heart.
However, she still intended to observe Ye Ling's situation further.
With a smile on her lips, she accelerated. As the daughter of the Moon Demon God and the youngest genius of the Moon Demon Clan, she had been granted partial authority by her father, the Moon Demon God Agares. Although she could not wield its full power, she could use it to scout the range of the surrounding Demon Gods.
Soon, she headed toward a certain location.
It was a strange cave, nearly ten thousand meters deep from outside to inside, dropping directly from the towering Aoding Mountain to the endless depths below.
Inside, there was a massive, towering pillar nearly a hundred meters tall. The pillar was engraved with a moon and a silver wolf howling below. It flashed with a pure, powerful aura, and that majestic radiance instantly guided every existence present.
Below, aside from a snow-white Wolf Demon sitting on the throne,
all the other Wolf Demons were kneeling below, shouting, "Long live the Wolf Demon God!!!"
However, the Wolf Demon God did not care about them; instead, he frowned and looked toward the outside: "A human actually stepped into the airspace above this Aoding Mountain?"
"And, they killed one of my Fourth Rank demons?"
The Wolf Demon God roared internally, his eyes filled with immense killing intent: "Fine. Thanks to the grace of Lord Moon Demon God Agares, I have been the Wolf Demon God for three years, always preparing for the hunt here."
"I originally planned to wait a few more years, but I didn't expect a human to dare come here to throw their life away?"
Having said that, he stood up, releasing his massive Spiritual Power: "Then, let this hunt begin today! I will use this as the first report I give to Lord Moon Demon God!"
The Wolf Demon God's voice was not quiet, and it spread throughout the entire mine. All the Wolf Demons became excited, a bloodthirsty light appearing in their eyes.
Clearly, they all wanted to.
But just then, an uninvited voice came from the side: "If you really think about going out to hunt now, I can guarantee that you will die a miserable death."
The voice was cold, but the words spoken made all the Wolf Demons present extremely displeased, and they turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
The Wolf Demon God even shouted angrily: "Anyone can talk big, but talking big in front of a noble Demon God, do you not want to live?"
"Want to die?" The figure appeared. That beautiful figure was none other than Yue Ye. She looked at the Wolf Demon God with proud, beautiful eyes, showing no fear, and said with disdain while looking down at him: "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who I am!"
Sensing the aura belonging to the Moon Demon God on Yue Ye, the Wolf Demon God was instantly stunned, stammering as he called out: "Y-y-you are?"
"Yue Ye," Yue Ye said indifferently.
"Yue Ye!" The Wolf Demon God was dumbfounded. As a Demon God summoned by the Moon Demon God Agares, he naturally knew what the name Yue Ye represented. He immediately knelt on one knee and shouted: "Greetings to the Moon Demon Clan Princess, the Moon Demon Witch!"
If he were an ordinary member of the Demon Race, he wouldn't care, but he was a Demon God; one word from Yue Ye could decide his position as a Demon God.
Do not overestimate low-level Demon Gods like them, and do not underestimate Demon God descendants like Yue Ye who are truly ranked as princesses within the Demon Race; she was the only one in the Moon Demon Clan! "May I ask, Moon Demon Witch, what did you mean by that earlier?" After a long while, the Wolf Demon God finally dared to look up and ask, staring at Yue Ye's face. As a "sycophant" of the Moon Demon God, he did not dare to provoke Yue Ye.
"That Knight brought a powerful Ninth Rank Knight to descend upon Odin Town. I don't know when they will leave. If you dare to make a move, then what awaits you is death!" Yue Ye replied.
"A mere Ninth Rank Knight, although extremely strong, if enhanced by the Demon God Pillar, they might not necessarily be my match!" The Wolf Demon God gritted his teeth and said firmly.
"I just saw it and told you about it. If you don't believe it, you can try it," Yue Ye smiled slightly and turned to leave directly.
Whether the Wolf Demon God lived or died did not matter to her or the Moon Demon God; anyway, a Demon God of this level could be replaced at any time. She came out to stir up trouble simply because it was fun... and she wanted to test how Ye Ling would decide after failing to find the Wolf Demon God later—would he leave directly, or would he insist on searching for something?
Or perhaps, could there be other operations? Yue Ye just wanted to see this possibility. If she could be satisfied, then Yue Ye would choose to try and interact with him.
Such a heaven-defying genius, if he could grow up, would definitely be useful in the future.
The Aoding Mountain was not too far from the small wooden house where Bai Yue and the others were, at least not a long journey for a Fourth Rank Rose Unicorn.
They soon arrived within a hundred meters of the small wooden house and stopped, dismounting to avoid disturbing the residents of this place.
It is currently noon, and most people have gone to farm or do other things; Li Xin specifically avoided them, so few saw them appear.
As for meeting elders, dismounting is the most basic etiquette; as Knights, they would not be unaware of this.
After dismounting, Li Xin also used the contract to let Rose return to the Contract Space, and at that moment, Li Xin could see her Magic Beast partner reveal an extremely human-like eye-roll after disappearing, and it was aimed right at her.
It is unknown what she was thinking.
"Sister, you really need to cultivate a bond with Rose; it seems you don't call her out often," Ye Ling said while heading toward Bai Yue.
"That's not true. If it weren't for the fact that Rose's body isn't suitable and I can't enter the Contract Space, I would probably sleep with her every day," Li Xin said indignantly.
However, she remembered something: "But little brother, you haven't headed to the Knight Sacred Mountain to find your own Magic Beast yet?"
"A peak Knight at only thirteen years old, you are probably only one step away from being a Great Knight, so why haven't you gone to the Knight Sacred Mountain to pick a Magic Beast? It isn't very far from Yulong Pass, and with Star Universe Hall Master there, it probably wouldn't even take a quarter of an hour, right?"
"I have the intention, but I'm not in a rush for now; it will be easier to talk about it once my strength improves a bit more," Ye Ling explained.
As a Child of Light, Ye Ling didn't need to choose to go to the Knight Sacred Mountain to find a mount at all.
The original Long Haochen found one, but it was nothing.
That was why he chose to draw randomly and ended up with Haoyue.
Ye Ling did not feel that those naturally kind light-attribute Magic Beasts would cheat him.
However, he wasn't afraid; as a Child of Light, would he be afraid of having no mount? There would be a whole bunch rushing to him.
Moreover, in the dark, Ye Ling also had a certain feeling.
His own Magic Beast partner would appear very soon.
In a dream in the past, he had once seen a mass of mixed black and white descend into the world; the black light landed on another person, while the white light fell upon himself.
He did not know what that was, but in the dark, his Magic Beast contract stirred.
Perhaps that was his Magic Beast partner? As a Child of Light, Ye Ling's intuition was very accurate, and he was not worried that it was fake.
An illusion could be fake, but the throbbing coming from his own body could not be fake.
It was merely that the time had not yet come, but that day was coming soon. Li Xin did not understand Ye Ling's statement.
But with the two's foot speed, this hundred-meter gap had long since been covered.
With one glance, one could see a young woman wearing a faded white long dress, stretching out her arms there, embracing Long Xingyu and Long Lingxi, tears dripping from her eyes, muttering to herself, seemingly recounting something.
However, Bai Yue was worthy of being the daughter of the Demon Emperor; although she did not cultivate herself, her reaction speed was extremely terrifying, and she stood up instantly, looking at the two with a somewhat horrified pretty face.
But after seeing the arrivals, she stopped instantly.
"Xiao Xin? It's you, and this is?" Bai Yue recognized Li Xin, but did not recognize Ye Ling.
Ye Ling stepped forward, performed a teacher-student salute, and called out: "Knight Ye Ling, greetings to the Master's wife." After a long while, he added: "I am Teacher Xingyu's personal disciple."
On the side, Long Xingyu also smiled bitterly: "If not for this child, I estimate I wouldn't have the courage to come find you two to acknowledge each other."
"On the path of the Knight, he has definitely gone further than I have."
Hearing this, Bai Yue looked at Ye Ling in surprise, curiosity flashing in her heart; she knew her husband very well, he was very proud, and even that Alliance Leader Yang Haohan, he might not be completely convinced in private matters.
But Ye Ling could actually make him like this? It was indeed terrifying, and Bai Yue could also see that although her husband's temperament was still the same, it had improved quite a bit in terms of being extreme, which was what made Bai Yue the happiest.
Although she still dared not say directly that she was the daughter of the Demon Emperor, as long as she did not go to see her father, then all of this would definitely not be exposed, and her husband would definitely not become a laughingstock. Thinking of this, Bai Yue was very happy.
Looking at Ye Ling, she smiled: "Good child, thank you."
"This is what a disciple should do, Master's wife need not be like this." Ye Ling saluted a second time, then turned to look at Long Xingyu and said: "Teacher Xingyu, there is something I need to tell you."
After speaking, he took Li Xin's hand, and the two walked toward the distance.
Long Xingyu was stunned, turned to look at Bai Yue, and after receiving her consent, only then did he go over together.
"What is the relationship between this little Ye and Xiao Xin?" Bai Yue asked; she saw that Ye Ling and Li Xin were still very intimate.
"Sister Li Xin and Brother Ye Ling are sworn siblings," Long Lingxi answered obediently.
Bai Yue nodded: "Good children, they are all good children." She had no cultivation, but she was very sharp; how could she not see that Ye Ling was drawing Long Xingyu away so that this news would not hurt her.
On the side.
The three had already walked a hundred meters away and used an ordinary Holy Light Shield to block all surrounding sounds.
Released by Long Xingyu, even a Ninth Rank would find it difficult to eavesdrop by force.
"What happened?" Long Xingyu asked; he knew that with his disciple's character, if he could solve it himself, he definitely wouldn't come to him; it was likely that something had happened.
"Take a look." Ye Ling took out that Fourth Rank Wolf Demon Magic Crystal and handed it to Long Xingyu.
"Fourth Rank Wolf Demon Magic Crystal? Your harvest this time? But fighting across ranks is not a difficulty for you; what is the specific situation?" Long Xingyu was puzzled.
"You look closely at this Magic Crystal," Ye Ling said.
Long Xingyu looked closely; even though the Spiritual Power within it had dissipated a bit, as a Divine Seal Knight, his sensory ability was not something to be trifled with.
Under careful inspection, he saw that towering pagoda within it and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a Wolf Demon Magic Crystal that has been amplified by the seventy-first Demon God Pillar? What is the situation? Is the Wolf Demon God nearby?"
"Yes." Ye Ling nodded: "If I haven't calculated wrong, that Wolf Demon God is likely in the Aoding Mountain right now."
Long Xingyu: "What did you say!!!"
