Chapter 1811: Mother, Just Accept Him!

"So this Nether Phoenix Venerable... is actually the Blood Demon Palace Master?"

Xu Jingming pondered silently.

No wonder Elise, as a Blood Demon Palace prodigy, was so familiar with the True Devil Canon.

But judging by the other party's tone, she didn't seem to have much interest in him.

"This is troublesome..."

Xu Jingming's heart sank.

There were five Realm Venerable powerhouses here, yet only one had cultivated the True Devil Canon.

This alone showed how terrifyingly difficult this bloodline secret art was to cultivate.

And the only devil who mastered it actually didn't want to teach him.

Then what should he do?

If he missed this chance, he could only go back and have Teacher Frostcrown think of something.

But Teacher Frostcrown was human after all.

Her understanding of the devil race's ultimate arts was limited; whether she could guide him was still unknown.

Just as Xu Jingming's thoughts raced—

"Whoosh!"

A streak of dark red light shot up from below, landing lightly beside him.

The light dispersed, revealing Elise's graceful and moving figure.

"Elise flew up!"

"What's she doing? Surely not pleading for Blood Abyss?"

"No way? Isn't that courting death? Realm Venerables are discussing matters, and she, a mere Eternal stage, dares to interrupt?"

"..."

On the floating land, countless demons widened their eyes.

Just now.

They had all seen Xu Jingming and Elise appearing together in pairs, so they naturally understood the relationship between the two demons was extraordinary.

But no matter how close the relationship, to actually dare barge into this kind of occasion — this was indeed courting death!

The majesty of a Realm Venerable, how could it be profaned?

Xu Jingming's heart also skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said in a low voice:

"Elise, it's not your turn to come up yet, quickly go down."

Although Elise was a Blood Demon Palace prodigy.

Facing a Realm Venerable, the status gap was still like a heavenly moat.

"Don't rush, I'm here to help you."

Elise smiled sweetly instead, her purple eyes swirling with cunning and confidence.

She gently squeezed Xu Jingming's hand, signaling him to be at ease.

Xu Jingming originally thought these Realm Venerable powerhouses would feel Elise was slighting them, and might even fly into a rage on the spot.

But unexpectedly—

"Elise, you're here."

Realm Venerable Salong laughed heartily, his voice carrying obvious familiarity.

"Haha, you only got second place this time, how does it feel to lose to someone else?"

Another Realm Venerable, Mofei, who had three pairs of bone wings, likewise spoke up to tease.

"Little Elise, tasted the flavor of failure this time, have you?

Want to come under my tutelage? I'll help you win back face."

That bewitching female Realm Venerable also spoke with a smile.

The tone was relaxed, as if treating a junior of their own family.

Hm?

Lei Guang flickered faintly in Xu Jingming's purplish-red pupils, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

These Realm Venerables' attitude toward Elise was far too friendly.

Even if she was a Blood Demon Palace prodigy, it shouldn't be to the point where all Realm Venerables were this familiar, right?

Just then, Elise first paid respectful greetings to each Realm Venerable:

"Uncle Salong, Uncle Mofei, Aunt Youan..."

Her voice was clear and crisp, her conduct proper.

The very picture of a junior paying respects to elders.

The several Realm Venerables all nodded with smiles, the atmosphere harmonious.

Finally, Elise turned her gaze toward that mass of swirling blood mist.

A trace of coquettish amusement flashed in her purple eyes:

"Mother, my lord."

She called out softly.

But Xu Jingming trembled all over!

Mother, my lord?!

This Nether Phoenix Venerable... is actually Elise's mother?!

On the floating land, all demons instantly petrified.

One by one, they widened their eyes and gaped.

"Wh-what? The Nether Phoenix Venerable is Elise's mother?"

"My heavens! No wonder Elise's talent is so terrifying!"

"The Blood Demon Palace Master's daughter... this background is too frightening!"

"It's over, I was just gloating a moment ago."

"..."

Those demons who had mocked Xu Jingming earlier now had faces turned green, wishing they could slap themselves several times.

In midair, Elise linked her arm through Xu Jingming's.

Looking at the Nether Phoenix Venerable in the blood mist, she coquettished in a soft, sweet voice:

"Mother, just accept Xue Yuan."

"Elise, who is he, that you would plead for him like this?"

The Nether Phoenix Venerable's icy voice rang out.

The swirling blood mist enveloping her form suddenly dispersed, revealing her true appearance.

In an instant, the entire floating land fell utterly silent.

All demons widened their eyes, unconsciously holding their breath.

Only to see the blood mist disperse, revealing a woman clad in a blood-colored long robe.

Her figure was tall and slender, half a head taller than Elise, her curves heart-stopping.

The blood-colored long robe was tailored fittingly, a wide belt with dark gold patterns cinched at her waist.

Outlining her slender waist and suddenly ample chest and hip curves to perfection.

Especially the arc of her chest, full and pert.

Almost bursting through her lapels, even more astonishing than Elise by several degrees!

Her features were even more stunningly beautiful, skin snow-white like jade, features exquisite as if carved by heaven.

A pair of black eyes deep as the starry sky, swirling with the stately grace and majesty precipitated by the years.

Surprisingly, she bore not the slightest trace of the demon race's characteristics.

No scales, no bone spurs, no tail.

But this was normal too; at the Realm Venerable level.

They had long since returned to simplicity and authenticity; demon characteristics could be freely restrained.

The Nether Phoenix Venerable at this moment was like a ripe peach.

Her whole body exuded the unique charm of a mature woman and the oppressive pressure of a superior.

"Hiss... th-this is the Blood Demon Palace Master?"

"She's actually a female demon! And this beautiful!"

"My heavens, Lord Elise is actually the Palace Master's daughter!"

"No wonder her talent is so heaven-defying!"

"..."

On the floating land, countless demons sucked in cold breaths, shaken to the core.

Among them, quite a few demons were learning this for the first time.

The Blood Demon Palace Master who shook the demon race's territories turned out to be such a peerless female Realm Venerable.

Xu Jingming likewise felt his heart shake.

He finally knew who Elise's heart-stopping figure was inherited from......

This mother and daughter standing together were simply a scenery line that made one's blood spurt.

"Mother, he is my partner."

Elise smiled as she linked Xu Jingming's arm, saying in a clear voice.

"Partner?"

The Nether Phoenix Venerable raised her willow brows, her purple pupils instantly turning toward Xu Jingming.

Her gaze like ice and lightning, carrying scrutiny and a faint, barely-there hostility.

Xu Jingming instantly felt a chill run down his spine, as if targeted by some primordial ferocious beast.

That look was clearly the displeasure of a tender white cabbage raised for many years at home being rooted by a pig!

"Mother, don't bully Xue Yuan."

Elise's figure moved, flying over lightly.

Both hands linking her arm, gently shaking it coquettishly:

"He's really amazing!

Ranked first on the points leaderboard! Just accept him as a disciple, okay?"

Her voice soft and sweet, purple eyes shimmering with moisture.

Her peach-heart tail also unconsciously swaying lightly, the very picture of a little girl's attitude.

The Nether Phoenix Venerable's stunningly beautiful face thawed slightly, yet she still kept a straight face:

"You know, I have countless heaven's chosen of the Blood Demon Palace serving me; I don't need to accept another disciple."

"Xue Yuan is different."

Elise giggled, leaning close to her ear and whispering:

"Mother, just accept him.

He really wants to learn the 'True Demon Canon', and his talent is very high; he won't embarrass you!"
