Chapter 528: The Qiongqi Demon Emperor!

Ling Feng squinted, scrutinizing the Lin Demon Princess before him. It seemed the female demon had already assumed he was a demon race member hidden amongst the humans from their last encounter.

After all, how else could a mere Pulse Formation Realm martial artist command a near half-step demon emperor level divine donkey?

"Lin Demon Princess, you already knew my identity from last time?"

Ling Feng put on a mysterious expression, speaking with a calm demeanor.

"To be protected by Lord Divine Donkey, even someone as foolish as I would have figured it out," Hai Lingxiang said, biting her lip while looking at Ling Feng. "Thank you, my lord, and Lord Divine Donkey as well, for sparing my life last time."

"Don't mention it."

Ling Feng calmly nodded, acting as if he truly were a high-ranking member of the demon race.

The other Lin Demon Race female demons behind the Lin Demon Princess quickly stepped forward to salute Ling Feng.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

Though Ling Feng's aura didn't seem strong, the fact that the Lin Demon Princess was so fearful of him indicated that he was likely a demon race member with a noble bloodline.

Ling Feng waved his hand, signaling the beautiful female demons not to be so formal. He noticed the tiger-headed guard still kneeling and kowtowing incessantly. With a slight nod, he said, "You may rise!"

The tiger-headed guard, feeling greatly relieved, stood up shakily, still unsteady from his fervent kowtowing. Leaning on his weapon for support, he repeatedly thanked Ling Feng. "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

Ignoring the tiger-headed guard, Ling Feng turned to Hai Lingxiang and said, "Lin Demon Princess, I need to meet with the demon emperor! Please lead the way!"

"The lord wishes to see the demon emperor?"

Hai Lingxiang was taken aback. As a high-ranking member of the demon race, he did not command her but used the word "please." Ling Feng's mannerisms seemed overly refined compared to a traditional demon race member. However, it could be attributed to his long-term infiltration of the human kingdom.

This refinement made the Lin Demon Princess perceive Ling Feng as more noble than other crude demon race members.

Hai Lingxiang softly said, "My lord, please follow me."

"Sir Demon Emperor, I retrieved this king beast egg from the human kingdom. Naturally, the offspring of our demon race's royal family cannot be tainted by vile humans."

Ling Feng feigned righteous indignation and declared passionately, "I have already killed all the humans who stole the king beast egg!"

Holding the king beast egg, tears seemed to glisten in the demon emperor's eyes.

The demon race, like any other, had its share of rebellion and power struggles. His demon queen had been gravely injured in a rebellion, fled in panic, and ultimately died in childbirth.

Later, when the Qiongqi Demon Emperor quelled the internal rebellion and went to search for his wife and child, he only found the mutilated corpse of his wife. The king beast egg she carried had disappeared.

Enraged, the demon emperor mobilized his demon soldiers and generals to search for the king beast egg. He was absolutely ready to go to war with the humans to retrieve his child at any cost.

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor never expected that the king beast egg, which countless demons and demonic beasts had failed to find, would be returned to him now. How could he not be emotional?

"Which clan are you from, young one?"

After a long while, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor calmed down slightly and stared at Ling Feng. "I will reward you generously!"

"Uh..." Ling Feng was at a loss. He didn't even know which clan he belonged to!

"Can't say?" The Qiongqi Demon Emperor squinted disdainfully. "Aren't you from the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan? Is there any need to hide it? Your clan always likes to be mysterious!"

He snorted lightly and, seeing Ling Feng's bewildered expression, explained, "Did you think your bloodline mark on your chest could escape my eyes?"

"Mark?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched as he recalled that the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl had left a strange mark on his chest. Unexpectedly, it was the bloodline mark of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan!

What a coincidence!

The Lin Demon Princess must have mistaken me for a high-ranking demon race because of this mark!

Ling Feng smiled knowingly and followed the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's words. "Apologies for my laughable behavior. I am indeed a descendant of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan, Sir Demon Emperor."

Qilin is a legendary hooved chimerical creature that appears in Chinese mythology. ☜
