82: Don't be afraid, sweetie.

"?"

Chen Qingxuan was stunned.

The next moment, he showed a smile as warm as a spring breeze, "Madam, I'm fine."

"You're talking nonsense."

Ji Li insisted on checking Chen Qingxuan's brain;

After all, three days ago, the scene of him being so red that he was smoking... was still fresh in her memory.

Like a duck just taken out of a steamer!

And Chen Qingxuan, who was being forcibly checked, felt an indescribable awkwardness.

Subsequently.

The two of them set off to return to the Demon Emperor Palace.

This trip out, Chen Qingxuan's harvest was quite significant. After all, he had been troubled by the impending reshaping of the world, and now he had the lotus of life as a fallback;

To be honest, he felt much more at ease.

But if possible, he still hoped such a thing wouldn't happen.

After all, he was no longer a man all alone; instead, he had a group of girls he cared about.

So he decided to continue with the plan he had previously formulated.

When they were almost at the Demon Emperor Palace.

Ji Li repeatedly exhorted: "You are not allowed to tell Qian You what happened... absolutely not... if I find out she heard anything... this Demon Lord won't be finished with you!"

"Mhm!"

Chen Qingxuan patted her lower back to show he understood.

"?"

Ji Li was instantly like a startled bird.

After slapping away Chen Qingxuan's hand, she lowered her voice in shame and anger, "What are you doing? I already said I gave it to you before just to help you, it's not like I intend to be your woman... as long as you have a bit of conscience, watch your boundaries in the future... I am the Demon Lord of the Demon Emperor Palace, after all."

"..."

Chen Qingxuan gave a bitter smile;

Before he could speak, Ji Li flew into the palace as if escaping.

"Tsk, saying it won't do... why did you stick out your tongue back then?"

...In the main hall.

Ji Li called Xuan Ling over and instructed: "Respond to the Demon Alliance. The Demon Emperor Palace agrees to cooperate in issuing an order to hunt down Chen Qingxuan, to protect the Western Region from being implicated."

Xuan Ling blinked her long eyelashes, "Demon Lord, are we really issuing a wanted order or just pretending to cooperate?"

"What do you think?"

"Alright!"

Xuan Ling was somewhat disappointed for some reason;

She wasn't a fool either; she naturally understood Ji Li's approach was just to give an account to the Demon Alliance and the Human Race.

After all, now, Chen Qingxuan had already returned to the Back Garden in a carefree manner.

When he met her just now, he even teased her for always having a long face... warning her she might not be able to get married in the future.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ling said angrily: "Demon Lord, although our strength is not as good as that Bitch's, we can drug him... and then break his legs."

"?"

Ji Li's beautiful face froze;

Meeting Xuan Ling's expectant gaze, she said solemnly: "Don't call him a Bitch in the future, and... why break his legs?"

"Ah?"

Xuan Ling thought she had misheard.

The next moment, she stated: "Breaking his legs... wasn't that what you said yourself, Demon Lord?"

"Me...?" Ji Li was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Forget it... considering he set up the Boundless Heaven and Earth Formation for our Demon Emperor Palace... I'll let him off for now."

"What?"

Xuan Ling looked like she was doubting her life.

Looking at the quite understanding Ji Li, she felt like she didn't recognize her anymore, "But Demon Lord... are you willing to let it go?"

"Xiao Ling, why do you hate him so much?"

"I don't... yes, I do dislike him a bit." Xuan Ling raised her pretty face and said urgently, "But I wouldn't say I hate him... I'm saying this because weren't you the one who was cheated by him... and hated him... I'm just following your lead!"

"Is that so?"

Ji Li thought about it and felt it was true.

Then, she said solemnly: "Xiao Ling, this Demon Lord doesn't hate him anymore... emm... after all, he is Qian You's Revered Master. Please change your attitude towards him as well!"

"Wait... what?"

Hearing this, Xuan Ling was dumbfounded.

The next moment, she suddenly thought of something, "Then Demon Lord, what was that plan you mentioned last time to deal with him?"

"Hmm?"

Ji Li was a bit confused upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Xuan Ling's brain buzzed, "You couldn't have forgotten, right? But you told me that personally... just a few days ago!"

A flash of guilt crossed Ji Li's eyes, "Well... Xiao Ling, go and execute the order first!"

"..."

Xuan Ling didn't leave; instead, she stepped forward a few paces, "Demon Lord, what is wrong with you? I feel like I don't recognize you anymore. Especially today when you came back with him from outside... what did you two do... why do I feel like your attitude towards him... seems to have become intimate?"

Intimate?

Ji Li's heart rate instantly climbed;

Already feeling guilty, being questioned like this made her mind go blank.

This feeling was like being caught in the act.

But at this point, she could only bite the bullet and deny it, "What nonsense are you talking... I think the strange one is you... actually saying something about me being intimate with him... haha... don't make such jokes in the future... it's not like you don't know me... this Demon Lord loathes the Human Race so much... such a guess of yours... is simply an insult to me!"

"I..."

Xuan Ling's lips parted slightly, but she also realized the recklessness in her words.

"I'm sorry, Demon Lord. I'm just afraid you'll be cheated by him again... and if you... if someone discovers you have a deep relationship with him... the entire Cangyun Continent would probably be shaken."

"I know that, of course... I definitely won't knowingly make such a mistake!"

"That's good... I should believe in the Demon Lord."

"Alright, you may leave... I won't hold it against you this time."

"Thank you, Demon Lord."

Xuan Ling always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it;

She could only leave for now.

Phew—

After she left, Ji Li slumped onto the Dragon throne, her legs weak.

"What should I do... I've already given it to him... it's too late to regret now!"

Ji Li thought about it back and forth and still couldn't feel at ease.

Finally, she decided to go find Chen Qingxuan and tell him to restrain himself a bit in front of Xuan Ling.

Just as Xuan Ling said, if her affair with Chen Qingxuan were really exposed... a massive earthquake would surely occur across the Cangyun Continent.

Not to mention that since ancient times, no one from the Human Race and the Yao Race had ever committed such a boundary-crossing act, let alone both of them... being renowned powerhouses.

It would probably go down in the history books.

On the other side.

In the room, Chen Qingxuan was holding his soft and delicate little disciple.

Ji Qianyou blinked her big eyes, "Revered Master, what did you and my mother do while you were out for so many days?"

"Don't talk yet, Revered Master will help you check your body."

"Hmm? Revered Master... I'm a bit scared."

"Be good~ it won't hurt much!"
