Chapter 121 You look disappointed?

If the past prosperity of the Demon Realm was credited to Xu Ruo's governance,

Then the current prosperity of the Demon Realm is instead the calm before the storm.

It is a violent storm that could break out at any moment!

Xia Xier did not want any hidden dangers remaining within the Demon Realm before an external enemy attacked.

At the same time...

It was also for the sake of her future plans that Xia Xier chose to voice all of these concerns.

After listening to Xia Xier's analysis, Chocolate also fell silent.

Her pair of amber eyes became more serious than ever before.

Perhaps she had felt some resistance toward Xia Xier earlier.

But at this moment, Chocolate finally understood why the King trusted this woman so much.

This human was indeed not simple!

And everything she did seemed to be for Xu Ruo's sake.

Seeing the little black cat's thoughtful expression, Xia Xier struck while the iron was hot:

"I also don't want..."

"His people to be harmed because of me, so..."

"I need you to do me a favor. An understanding and cute cat-girl like you, who thinks of him with all your heart..."

"Should agree to my request, right?"

Xia Xier spoke softly, her eyes full of sincerity as she looked at Chocolate.

Chocolate was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Go ahead. As long as it helps the King..."

"No matter what the favor is, I am willing to help!"

Hearing Chocolate's response, Xia Xier smiled slightly and said:

"It's simple. You just need to spread a rumor in the Demon Realm..."

"That the Demon King isn't dead, but has merely gone missing..."

"It's that simple."

Hearing Xia Xier's request, Chocolate found herself in a bit of a predicament:

"But..."

"Won't that expose him?"

"When the King resurrected me, he told me never to say anything to the people of the Demon Realm to prevent exposing his situation..."

"He said he didn't... didn't want the people of the Demon Realm to know he was still alive yet."

To Chocolate, Xu Ruo's words were like an imperial decree!

If Xia Xier's words contradicted Xu Ruo's instructions, Chocolate would definitely follow Xu Ruo's previous orders as her top priority.

Just as Chocolate was about to refuse, Xia Xier nodded as if she had expected this:

"I know what you're thinking, but... you only need to let this 'rumor' spread to a certain extent within the Demon Realm."

"Besides, everyone in the Demon Realm knows that if there's a secret, you're always the first one who can't keep it in."

"This way... the 'rumor' coming from your mouth will definitely have a higher level of credibility."

Hearing Xia Xier's explanation, Chocolate fell silent.

Those amber eyes sized Xia Xier up and down—

"You mean... just spread this as a 'rumor'..."

"Thereby creating the illusion... that the King is still alive?"

"No, wait, the King is actually alive..."

Although her words were a bit muddled for a moment, Chocolate roughly understood Xia Xier's meaning.

"Exactly. You just need to let them know that their King is still alive and is currently living somewhere outside the Demon Realm..."

"That will be enough."

Chocolate still seemed somewhat hesitant regarding Xia Xier's request—

"Will this... really prevent trouble before it happens, like you said?"

"Definitely!"

Xia Xier maintained an unwavering confidence in her own judgment.

Only she knew how to push the situation in the best direction in the shortest amount of time.

What to do...

...to completely eliminate any factors that could potentially threaten their happy future!

In the end, perhaps infected by the determination in Xia Xier's eyes,

Chocolate nodded:

"Fine! Since it can help the King..."

"Then I'll listen to you!"

"Thank you, Chocolate."

Xia Xier beamed a smile at Chocolate's unconditional trust.

At the same time, the hand holding Chocolate's small paw tightened slightly.

Feeling Xia Xier's warmth and strength,

The last trace of hesitation in Chocolate's eyes finally vanished.

"No need for thanks."

"Because I remember now, the King said..."

"...to trust you unconditionally."

The two smiled at each other, reaching a silent understanding in that moment.

"When do you plan on going back?"

With the business concluded, Xia Xier asked Chocolate in a gentle voice.

"I'll wait until I say goodbye to the King. I have to at least make sure he's safe and sound before I leave..."

As she spoke, perhaps afraid that Xia Xier would rush her, the little black cat looked up guiltily and stole a glance at Xia Xier.

She seemed to be checking if she would be refused—

"Is... is that okay?"

"Of course it is..." Patting Chocolate's little cat head, Xia Xier stood up: "Let's leave it at that then. Next time we meet, I'll give you a gift..."

Hearing that Xia Xier had a gift for her, Chocolate immediately grinned, her face full of anticipation:

"What gift?"

Xia Xier smiled beautifully, her flowing golden hair fluttering in the breeze:

"It's a secret!"

...

Late that night.

As cracks slowly spread across the giant red egg in the special space...

On the surface—

The group still resting in the Imperial Capital of Frant was unsettled by wave after wave of faint tremors.

Everyone stood up as if by common consent and went to an open area.

The originally peaceful night was now shrouded in a slightly eerie atmosphere.

Someone called out, and they all looked up together, finally discovering the culprit behind the eerie night—

A blood-red full moon that had risen at some unknown point!

That blood moon hung in the night sky, painting the once-quiet moonlit night with a strange and ghostly hue!

An unknown oppression gradually spread through the air.

Gazing at the eerie blood-red full moon, Aila's expression became unusually solemn.

"It looks like the Bishop knows some inside information?"

Not far away, Xia Xier slowly approached from behind Aila.

Under the glow of the blood-red moonlight, Xia Xier's voice no longer sounded holy, but instead carried a hint of wickedness.

Aila nodded, her tone heavy:

"When the bright moon hangs high and turns to blood, the heavens and earth change, and the Vampire King Descends..."

"A blood moon in the sky, a transformation of heaven and earth..."

"As far as I know, this phenomenon only occurs when a Vampire with an extremely pure bloodline descends upon the world."

"But..."

"In today's world, there shouldn't be any Vampire with such a pure bloodline."

In fact, Aila was still wrong.

The only ones who could truly trigger the blood moon phenomenon were Vampires who possessed the power of a True Ancestor.

In other words, besides Lilia and Lilith...

No one should have been able to cause such a celestial phenomenon.

Yet now, this blood moon phenomenon hung so realistically in the night sky.

All these signs indicated—

"Could it be... that she has been resurrected?"

Aila gazed at the blood moon in the sky, muttering blankly to herself.

But...

Lilia had already been reincarnated as Mira...

How could she be resurrected again?

Xia Xier stood silently behind Aila, not speaking to interrupt her musings.

Instead, she also quietly gazed at the blood moon in the sky—

She knew...

This was the celestial phenomenon triggered by Mira gaining her former... or perhaps even surpassing her former power.

After an unknown amount of time, the blood-red color covering the full moon gradually faded.

The tremors of the earthquake also gradually returned to peace.

It was only now that Luna and Bai Ye arrived late—

"Xier, what's happening?"

"No, it's nothing. But... Mira should be coming back soon..."

Meanwhile, in the special space—

Mira, who had just obtained her new power, easily tore through the space before her using nothing but raw strength.

And with a thought, the freshly torn space instantly restored itself.

Looking at the restored space, and then at Xu Ruo, who was sighing while covering his face beside her, Mira couldn't help but cry out in pleasant surprise—

"This... this is actually pretty fun!"

"I can tear open space directly without even using magic..."

"By the way, why are you sighing? You look quite disappointed!"
