The cold words instantly woke Gu Cheng and Kong Zhaoling up.

Yes, if the two of them could think of the problem, how could the Demon King, who has lived for who knows how long, not think of it?

But even so, the Demon King Kong Xuan still insisted on cooperating with the Dragon Clan. What exactly was the intention behind this? I'm afraid no one except himself could know.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, knowing that under this situation, no one could change the Demon King's decision.

Seeing that his daughter seemed to have finally reacted, Kong Xuan didn't say anything more at this time, and shook his head and said: "Okay, I have my own plan for this matter, and you two don't need to get involved."

After taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, Kong Xuan came to Gu Cheng and his daughter and said earnestly, "Since things have come to this point and you have made your choice, I will not say anything more. Similarly, since this is related to the demon clan's plan, I hope you will not interfere with my plan."

"Father..."

Kong Zhaoling wanted to say something more after hearing this, but the Demon King had already turned his back, unwilling to listen to his daughter's words, and just said in a deep voice:
"From today on, put down your responsibilities and live happily with the one you love. Everything about the demon race has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Neither Gu Cheng nor Kong Zhaoling had expected things to turn out like this.

Kong Zhaoling looked at her father who refused to listen to any advice and insisted on uniting with the dragon clan. As a daughter, she knew that once her father made up his mind, no one could change his will.

After looking at the person next to him and hesitating for a while, Kong Zhaoling finally made up his mind.

Taking a few steps forward, Kong Zhaoling knelt on both knees and kowtowed to her father who had turned away and was unwilling to look at her again, saying: "Since father did not listen to my daughter's advice and insisted on dragging the entire demon race into an irretrievable place, please forgive me for being unfilial and not being able to accompany you all the way."

Seeing the Demon King's body tremble slightly, but still without any reaction, Gu Cheng frowned.

He had not expected that things would come to this point. The Demon King's stubbornness far exceeded his expectations, and even his own daughter Kong Zhaoling could not dissuade him.

After taking another look at the Demon King who showed no reaction, Gu Cheng stepped forward and pulled Kong Zhaoling up, then said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, no matter what your plan is, I can only remind you that the Dragon Clan, as the rulers of the ancient times, will never cooperate with others sincerely."

"You don't need to remind me of this!" The Demon King Kong Xuan, who had originally had no reaction, finally turned around after hearing Gu Cheng's words.

The two looked at each other, and Demon King Kong Xuan said coldly: "Take good care of my daughter. If you dare to make Ling'er sad again, I will never forgive you no matter where you are!"

When he spoke to the end, Kong Xuan's aura suddenly changed, and the domineering aura of a generation of demon king was too much to look at.

Even Gu Cheng, who had mastered his magical powers at this time, was secretly surprised.

Glancing at Kong Zhaoling, whose eyes were slightly red at the moment, Gu Cheng sighed inwardly and replied, "Your Majesty the Demon King, rest assured. Ling'er loves me deeply, and Gu Cheng will never let her down in this life."

Kong Xuan looked at his daughter deeply. At this moment, all the arrogance of the Demon King disappeared, leaving only the deep love of a father for his daughter.

"Ling'er, you've grown up. From now on, you have to walk the road alone."

At this point, Kong Xuan's gaze shifted from his daughter's face to Gu Cheng's face, and he said with a smile: "I hope your choice is not wrong this time!"

At this moment, even though Kong Zhaoling had already made up her mind, she still felt very reluctant when she saw her father's expression.

Kong Xuan shook his head slightly, and with a complicated look on his face, he glanced at his daughter and said, "Okay, you can go now. The affairs of the demon clan will no longer have anything to do with you two!"

Seeing that things had come to this, Gu Cheng knew that it was too late. After thinking for a while, he finally said to the Demon King Kong Xuan: "Your Majesty, an old friend of mine has been imprisoned in the demon tribe. Can you give this old friend to me for my sake?"

"Old friend?"

“Yes, the former leader of the Tianjian Sect, Chen Rongyue!”

Kong Xuan frowned slightly, thinking of the human woman who was forced by him to join the demon clan ten years ago but had never done even a small thing for the demon clan.

Even on some things, this woman repeatedly obstructed her own decisions.

Therefore, he simply imprisoned the woman.

As time went by, and the demon clan was busy with their affairs, they forgot about this woman.

When Kong Xuan heard Gu Cheng mention this human woman, he finally remembered.

Glancing at his daughter beside him, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "That woman is now a great saint of my demon race. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to take her away with just one sentence, right?"

Gu Cheng glanced at the Demon King meaningfully and naturally heard the hidden meaning in his words.

Gu Cheng also glanced at Kong Zhaoling, who was a little confused at the moment, and patted her shoulder gently and said, "Ling'er, I still have some things to discuss with His Majesty the Demon King. Can you wait for me outside first?"

Faced with Gu Cheng's request, Kong Zhaoling naturally would not refuse, and smiled slightly and said: "Well, I'll wait for you outside."

After finishing speaking, Kong Zhaoling bowed respectfully to her father again: "Father, take care. I am leaving now."

Under the gazes of Gu Cheng and Kong Xuan, Kong Zhaoling walked out of the Demon King's Palace, looking back every few steps.

And when her back disappeared at the entrance of the hall, the entire hall fell silent again.

I don’t know how long it took, but with Gu Cheng’s voice, the conversation between the father-in-law and son-in-law finally officially began.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, may I ask what conditions will allow you to agree to release Sect Master Shen?"

"I don't ask for much. If you want me to release Chen Rongyue, you have to promise me two things."

"But I don't know which two things they are. Your Majesty, please tell me clearly."

"First, Ling'er is the apple of my eye. Protect her well and don't let her get hurt even a little bit."

"Of course. Ling'er treats me sincerely, and I will never let her down. Your Majesty the Demon King is worrying too much."

"Second, Ling'er is of the Jade Phoenix bloodline. The first child you will give birth to in the future..."

Inside the Demon King Palace, the voices of the two people talking became lower and lower until they finally reached an agreement.

Outside the Demon King's Palace, the girl gazed into the distance, occasionally looking back behind her, feeling curious and confused about the upcoming life. (End of this chapter)
