AWB Chapter 218 Extra·Qi Yuan
Chapter 218 Extra·Qi Yuan
As a demon king, how can she not have a few men, nor can she be without an heir?
When the Demon Queen was young, her ministers carefully selected several suitable husbands for her.
The Demon King at that time was young and impetuous, and unwilling to accept their arrangement, she found a husband for herself, her childhood sweetheart, Hu Ruifeng of the fox clan.
The two were very much in love, and the Demon King doted on him.
However, Hu Ruifeng's demands were too high; he wanted the Demon King to be with him for life, and forbade him to have any other husbands or servants.
The Demon King did not agree.
Pamper her as you may, love her as you may, but don't joke around with her throne.
After living as husband and wife with Hu Ruifeng for more than ten years, the Demon King had never gotten pregnant. Doctors had checked and found that it was not a problem with the Demon King.
In order to find an heir, the Demon King selected several servants to serve him in the Demon King's palace, but Hu Ruifeng refused.
They cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang themselves, forcing the Demon King to kick them out, or else they would leave the Demon King's palace.
How could the Demon King be controlled by him? Besides, she had never promised to be with him for life, and she had no guilty conscience at that time.
What did she say again?
Oh, right, she said, "Stop messing around, I need an heir."
In short, Hu Ruifeng was heartbroken and turned to the dark side; he decided to take revenge on the Demon King.
He left the Demon King's palace by faking his death, thinking that the Demon King would be heartbroken and die for him, or lose his beloved, dismiss the harem, and spend the rest of his life in memories.
But the Demon King did not. She was only sad for a while before she put her mind back on politics.
This made Hu Ruifeng even more resentful. He plotted for a long time to replace the demon king's newborn daughter with a baby girl.
The child was born to the Demon King, and because the Demon King's bloodline power was stronger, the child's true form was also a wolf. The Demon King erased the bloodline power of the child's father, making it impossible for the servants to detect who the child was with the Demon King.
Therefore, they regarded that child as their own.
The Demon King was very pleased with this, and after his daughter was born, he made her his heir.
With an heir, she no longer needs to waste time in the harem and can have more time to handle government affairs and govern the northern demon realm.
Hu Ruifeng had been in the Demon King's Palace for so long and had his own power. He secretly used a raccoon dog to replace the crown prince and then threw the child off a cliff.
The fact that no remains were the way Hu Ruifeng chose to kill this child, since she was born to his beloved and another man.
Hu Ruifeng used a secret method to maintain the fake princess's bloodline, and the demon king did not notice anything amiss. After the fake princess became aware of things, Hu Ruifeng recognized her.
He claimed to be the fake princess's biological father and asked her to help him seize the throne of the demon king.
The fake princess agreed.
All her current wealth and glory are like bubbles that can burst at any moment. Only when her biological father becomes the Demon King will she be the true heir to the Demon King title.
Therefore, the fake princess revealed the demon king's whereabouts, leading to her capture by Hu Ruifeng.
"Qi Lingyi, you never expected that one day you would fall into my hands."
Hu Ruifeng pinched her chin, watching her kneel on the ground in a disheveled state, and asked, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret what?"
The Demon King's gaze remained calm throughout, only showing a slight ripple when he looked at the fake princess.
Hu Ruifeng was furious. "You still want to ask me? Of course, it's whether you regret betraying me. Now that you're a prisoner, just say you were wrong and I'll release you. How about that?"
The Demon King sneered, "What wrong have I done? If I have any fault, it's that I didn't notice you approaching my son!"
She thought Hu Ruifeng was deliberately getting close to the fake princess, or that he had obtained some leverage over her to threaten her.
Seeing that she was stubborn and valued the fake princess more than him, even disregarding him, Hu Ruifeng coldly revealed his scheme of replacing the prince with a cat.
Only then did I see the Demon King's expression crack, and I saw that she was showing other emotions towards me...
"Clang--"
A heavy thud sounded, startling the Demon King awake. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in bed.
Wasn't she fleeing from pursuers and running into a small courtyard in a panic?
Could it be that her owner saved her?
The demon king belatedly realized that her wounds had been bandaged, and some of the smaller wounds had already healed.
The sound of heavy objects falling came from outside. The Demon King, supporting himself against the wall, slowly walked out and saw an old woman and a young woman moving things in the courtyard.
They're moving... corpses?
The young woman complained, "Grandma, they come far too often! I'm exhausted."
In the past few days, several groups of people have come to secretly search their courtyard. Qi Yuan has gone from being afraid of killing people to now being able to carry a corpse in each hand and bury it under a tree to make fertilizer.
The Demon King looked at the young woman. Although she was plain-looking, her eyes shone like stars, and she felt a sense of familiarity with her.
"This is the last time; they won't come again."
When the Demon King came out, Granny Nightmare noticed her. "You're awake? If you're awake, then leave."
The old woman told her to leave.
The demon king, leaning against the doorframe, thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much. I will repay you handsomely in the future."
Granny Nightmare waved her hand, "I cannot accept your thanks, Demon King. My daughter and I will be leaving here soon. Demon King, you should also leave. Many people have perished here, and it will attract attention sooner or later."
The Demon King nodded, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Qi Yuan.
She felt a sense of familiarity with the girl and couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
really weird.
Granny Nightmare watched coldly, not worried that the Demon King would see through the disguise she had made on Qi Yuan's face.
Qi Yuan is very beautiful; she's the kind of person who would easily attract attention in a crowd. But without sufficient strength, beauty is a burden.
So, Granny Nightmare used a secret technique to disguise Qi Yuan, making her appearance ordinary.
Qi Yuan doesn't look in the mirror often, and with the disguise on her face, she's not familiar with her original appearance.
Only Granny Nightmare knew that Qi Yuan's face bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the Demon King.
Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that they are mother and daughter.
Granny Nightmare didn't want Qi Yuan to get involved in those things. She didn't have enough strength, and she was afraid that once she recognized the Demon King, she would become a target in the eyes of some people.
Therefore, she concealed Qi Yuan's bloodline power, so the Demon King wouldn't discover it for the time being...
Weird.
Although the Demon King is composed, he was quite the troublemaker in his childhood, doing everything he should and shouldn't know, and everything he should and shouldn't learn.
Unfortunately, she had learned the disguise techniques and methods for concealing bloodline power used by Granny Nightmare.
"She is...my child."
"Is it right?"
Granny Nightmare: "???"
No, how did you figure that out?
Her secret technique didn't fail!
For the first time, Granny Nightmare lost her composure.
The Demon King smiled and said, "Although the secret techniques you use are ancient and have been lost to the common people, they can still be found in the royal library."
"Unfortunately, I've already read all the books in the library."
The Demon King said modestly.
Granny Nightmare: "..."
How careless of her! How could she not have considered this aspect!
