Chapter 1302

Miss Hongxiu directly addressed them by the Demon King's name, yet not a single person around showed any sign of displeasure.

The man hurriedly apologized to the group: "Everyone, I am truly sorry just now. I did not know you were friends of my lord Hong. Recently, some matters have arisen, and our place has become quite strict."

The speed of this man's change in attitude left Lin Yi utterly stunned.

"This is the Grand General of the Demon Realm, one of the Four Great Guards of Mi Hei, named Geng Zhong." Miss Hongxiu introduced Geng Zhong's identity to them.

Lin Yi was the type who judged matters, not people; he immediately went up the mountain and shook hands with Geng Zhong: "Hello, hello, my name is Lin Yi. Those two over there are Huo Jinglin and Xu Chenchen. That one is our leader, Brother Ning Chen. The one in his arms is his wife, also our group's favorite, Gu Yanqi. And this one is named Xiao Han; he has been here before."

Upon hearing the last name, Geng Zhong looked directly at Xiao Han, his face filled with disbelief: "Xiao Han? You are Xiao Han!"

At this moment, Xiao Han was wearing the mask Miss Hongxiu had just bought, so naturally, he was not recognized.

Xiao Han, exposed by Lin Yi, felt no displeasure. As long as he was in the Demon Realm, his identity would eventually be exposed; it was just that this was not a good place to speak.

"Let's talk elsewhere." Xiao Han did not remove his mask but spoke up.

Hearing this voice, Geng Zhong was one hundred percent certain the person before him was Xiao Han; he immediately guided the group toward the Demon Palace.

The entire Demon Palace was ridiculously large; the largest part was where the King lived, and the rest belonged to the four Great Guards.

Geng Zhong led the group to his residence. Upon entering, one felt an antique charm; inside were various colorful flowers and plants, and even many books within the room.

Looking at this room, which contrasted with Geng Zhong's own simple and honest demeanor, Lin Yi was somewhat amazed: "Whoa, did you arrange this place? It doesn't seem like you."

Soon, this doubt was explained. A woman dressed in purple walked in from outside. Seeing so many people had arrived, she was only slightly startled, then came to Geng Zhong's side.

"So many guests have arrived, and you didn't think to notify me."

Geng Zhong carefully helped the woman sit in a chair. At this point, the group realized the woman must be pregnant.

"It's been so long since we met, Gui Zhi, and you are actually pregnant?" Miss Hongxiu stepped out from the crowd with a smile.

"Sister Hong, you have come!" The woman named Gui Zhi, upon seeing Miss Hongxiu, had eyes full of joy. She was just about to rise, but Miss Hongxiu pressed her back down.

"Sit properly. Your body is weak. How many months pregnant are you?"

Gui Zhi showed a shy smile: "Already four months."

"Four months, huh? Half a year ago when I came, you weren't pregnant yet. I didn't expect you to conceive two months after I left. Looking at it this way, am I a lucky charm?" Miss Hongxiu teased Gui Zhi.
