God's Seal: A weak priest, but with explosive strength

Chapter 245 A Bao's Side Story 01
When I became the seventh Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu and the first monarch of the Heavenly Demon Empire, I was filled with trepidation.

What should I get? What should I own? I am utterly confused.

Fortunately, the pain of my childhood has long been forgotten, leaving me with a bright future.

I will be the last Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, but I will also be the first monarch of the Heavenly Demon Empire to be named after myself.

I abandon the names of my ancestors and live in my own name.

My name is Abao, not Fengbao.

This name means that someone loved me.

……

For young A Bao, his greatest pain was the sudden departure of his mother.

Although he was the crown prince of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, his father, who was busy with state affairs, did not pay much attention to his existence.

As his clansmen who trampled on his pride said, an unfavored prince was of no importance to His Majesty the Demon Emperor.

My pride was trampled underfoot, and I could only watch as they straddled me.

At that moment, I was extremely angry.

Until, a purple figure came toward me.

She witnessed my suffering and pain, becoming the earliest beginning of my childhood.

Through conversations with the demons around me, I learned her name.

She is the Moon Princess of the Moon Demon Clan, and also the half-human, half-demon daughter of the Moon Demon God Agares.

Her status in the Moon Demon Clan is not much different from mine in the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan.

For those who are not favored, even living is a sin. Because she was a half-human, half-demon, she suffered no less humiliation than I did.

Perhaps it was love at first sight, or perhaps it was a mutual understanding born from an unhappy childhood.

I fell in love with her.

This love did not fade with time; instead, it grew stronger.

As we spent more time together, we became very good friends. When she was seven, I gave her a bouquet of roses.

She didn't refuse; instead, she praised the beauty of the bouquet.

At that moment, my heart felt warm, and the world seemed to be filled with light.

At the age of six, I finally gained my father's approval. Under his stern gaze, I worked tirelessly to live up to my status as the crown prince of the heaven-defying demon dragon clan.

With my help, Moonlit Night successfully caught the eye of the Moon Demon God, Agares. After demonstrating her intelligence, she gained a position within the Moon Demon race.

When I was seven years old, my father brought home a human woman. In terms of status, she was my elder sister.

After encountering those similar figures, one large and one small, in the garden, I realized how wondrous blood ties truly are.

That subtle feeling made Abao's affection for Bai Yue rise sharply. Even though it was their first meeting, he instinctively wanted to get closer to her.

That feeling of familiarity made Abao genuinely feel strange.

Ah Bao never imagined that his life would one day be so turbulent.

Bai Yue is his elder sister, and Bai Nianxuan is her cousin. In terms of kinship, Bai Nianxuan and A Bao can be considered relatives to a certain extent.

This was the first time he had lived like a human being, and the first time he had acted outside the rules.

He was supposed to be a calm and composed prince, whose emotions would remain hidden from others, and who prioritized the interests of the demon race.

But his life changed after meeting a certain scoundrel.

From someone who follows the rules to someone who breaks them.

Mendi and he met when they were six years old and spent a year together. Mendi always stayed by his side.

Po also received the most unforgettable nickname of his life—Baby Dragon.

The name "Baby Dragon" completely transformed his image and demeanor.

Although Bai Nianxuan called him Bao Baolong, it did not affect their friendship.

Bai Nianxuan, A Bao, and Men Di form a trio.

So, led by a certain idiot, the three of them went together to the Moon Pool in the Moon Palace where the Moon God Agares resided.

I thought Moonlight Brew was unavailable because the Moon God Agares used magic to seal it away, preventing outsiders from stealing it.

However, this certain idiot has a very special constitution. He ignores all defensive magic and barriers and directly takes out the Moonlight Wine that was sealed in the Moon Pool.

That was the first time the three of them had done something bad.

Bai Nianxuan, that scoundrel, even encouraged them, leading them further and further down the path of doing bad things.

They took two-thirds of the Moonlight Wine from the Moon Pool of the Moon Demon God Agares.

The remaining third is less than a hundred cups. Running away after doing something bad is really exciting.

Regardless of what the Moon Demon God Agares says, their main point is that they know nothing.

After all, they were just a group of children under eight years old.

The six months that the three of them spent together were the most carefree six months for Abao and Mendi.

They don't need to worry too much; they just need to live happily.

The most absurd thing Bai Nianxuan did with the two of them in the past six months was to leave the city of Shanghai and admire the moon outside the desolate city.

The three kids shouldn't have been able to leave the heavily guarded Demon Emperor's Palace. But with A Bao there, it was easy for him.

The three of them sat on a sand dune, drinking moonlight wine while gazing at the bright purple moon.

"I'm curious."

Bai Nianxuan spoke up, "Didn't you all say you wouldn't drink? Why are you all drinking with me?"

Looking at Abao and Mendi's youthful faces, Bai Nianxuan's eyes were filled with suspicion.

They drank even faster than she did.

This is simply unreasonable.

You promised you wouldn't drink!

"Moonlight Brew isn't wine," Abao began to spout nonsense with a straight face. "In my opinion, Moonlight Brew is a tonic. Drinking too much can make the body stronger and make our physical cultivation speed faster. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have been able to get so much Moonlight Brew."

Moonlight Wine is the treasure of the Moon Demon God Agares.

If Bai Nianxuan hadn't ignored the defensive magic he had set up, they really wouldn't have been able to see it. This was also why the Moon Demon God Agares dared to let the three of them into the Moon Pool to play, but he didn't expect that he would still miscalculate.

"hehe."

Hearing A Bao's words, Bai Nianxuan snorted, "To put it bluntly, you're just craving Moonlight Wine. You're the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, what good things haven't you seen? Why would you crave this?"

Bai Nianxuan stared straight at him, her eyes filled with deep confusion.

"It's not that I'm craving it, it's just that it really tastes good."

Ah Bao said with a serious face, "It tastes good and can also make you feel happy."

"Look, even the door whistle is craving it."

He didn't want to talk about what happened in his childhood.

"Hmm."

Mendi nodded, her fair face showing a serious expression.

“That’s right.” Mendi picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. “Uncle Agares is really stingy.”

"We took so much Moonlight Wine from him this time, he'll definitely strengthen the defenses inside the Moon Pool. What a pity, we can't get into the Moon Pool."

Ah Bao shook his head helplessly, "But it's okay. We can finish all this Moonlight Wine."

"We'll figure out how to get it done after we finish drinking it."

Ever since he tasted Moonlight Brew, Abao has been unable to forget its flavor.

"It's probably hopeless."

Bai Nianxuan spoke slowly, feeling that after this incident, the Moon Demon God Agares would definitely hide the Moonlight Brew very well.

"It's okay if we can't get it."

"Just finish these first."

Ah Bao had a calm expression on his face; he didn't think he couldn't get his hands on some new Moonlight Brew.

To put it bluntly, they've got their eyes on all of Agares's fine wines.

"Ah."

Bai Nianxuan rarely agreed with A Bao's words, "Let's drink first, there's still plenty of time, take your time."

Bai Nianxuan believed half of what A Bao said.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to offend the Moon Demon God Agares. Those fine wines were very precious to Agares.

"I heard you're leaving the Demon Emperor's Palace."

Ah Bao lowered his voice and said, "You and your sister need to go back to the Holy Temple Alliance."

Is the Temple Alliance really that great?

Abao asked, puzzled. He had never seen the outside world before, so he was naturally curious about the Temple Alliance where humans lived.

Heart City was built by the Demon Clan using a thousand years of wisdom and resources. In A Bao's eyes, this city was the most magnificent city in the Demon Clan's history, and also the most beautiful place he had ever seen.

This place is so beautiful, why did they choose to leave the Demon City?
In A Bao's mind, the demon race is powerful and the human race is weak; the human race is not even half as strong as the demon race. If he really had to choose between the human race and the demon race, A Bao would definitely choose the demon race without hesitation.

Humans are too weak.

On the Holy Demon Continent, weakness is a sin.

"How wonderful."

"Didn't I tell you before? The Priest's Temple has the most beautiful place—Mount Life. Unfortunately, the teleportation array for Mount Life has long since disappeared, and Mount Life can only be glimpsed in detail from the scrolls left by our ancestors. In the records of the human race, Mount Life is the most beautiful place in Zhennan Pass."

"It is said that the Holy Mountain of Life is the place where the Goddess of Life left behind her legacy, and it is the most beautiful place for life. Unlike the dark city of the Demon Capital, where there is no light at all. On the side of the Temple Alliance, the moon is white, unlike the purple moon on the side of the Demon Clan, which is too oppressive and makes people feel restless and other emotions."

The Demon City is indeed bustling. This city is larger than the three cities of the Human Temple Alliance. This place gathers the wisdom of the Demon race over thousands of years, which makes people marvel.

Human cities are incomparable to Demon Heart City.

"But beautiful things are not worth pursuing. Being strong is the most important thing."

Ah Bao spoke slowly, his dark eyes filled with confusion, "Staying in the Demon Clan will bring you more benefits. Your elder sister is a princess of the Demon Clan, with the bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Royal Family flowing through her veins. Staying in the Demon Clan will allow you to enjoy superior treatment. Staying in the Human Clan, you will have to put in many times, even thousands of times, more effort to achieve the same result."

To be honest, the conditions for humans are really inferior to those for demons.

Given the vastly different circumstances, their decision to return to the human race rather than stay in the demon realm was quite surprising to A Bao.

"The human race is our home."

Bai Nianxuan remained calm and said indifferently, "I am a pure human. Bai Yue is my cousin. My aunt fell in love with the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, which led to this relationship. But I am different from my cousin. I will eventually return to the human race."

The people of the Priest Temple are all of the Light element. This also leads to their innate aversion to the Dark element.

Staying in a place filled with dark spiritual energy is very unfriendly to Bai Nianxuan, who has the light attribute.

Even though she hasn't undergone divine awakening yet, she does possess some spiritual power.

"alright."

A Bao's face showed a complicated expression. "Then won't you forget about us after you return to the human race?"

"Although I hate it when you call me Baby Dragon, you and Mendi are both my partners."

However, no companion is as good as one's lover. At this moment, A Bao thought of his lover—Moonlight.

"No, it's just that we'll see each other very rarely."

Bai Nianxuan said calmly, "After I return to the human race, I will most likely be cultivating diligently there. This separation will last at least ten years, or even longer."

"Of course, as the war between humans and demons changes, we are very likely to become enemies."

"Become enemies? What if they don't let you go back?"

Young Abao spoke his mind.

"impossible."

Bai Nianxuan raised his head firmly, "I am a human, and it is impossible for me to stay in the territory of the demon race."

"Fine, I don't want to be your enemy."

Ah Bao's voice was tinged with complex emotions, "Once we become enemies, we can no longer be friends. My only friends are you and Mendi."

I don't want to lose any of my friends.

Ah Bao is overly lacking in love and cares deeply about his friends.

“But we are not of the same race, and that is something that is unavoidable.”

Bai Nianxuan's expression remained unchanged. She picked up a cup of Moonlight Brew and drank it in one gulp. "When we get to the battlefield, we can only be enemies. No matter how good our feelings are for each other, it won't change our stance."

"Actually, you don't have to leave."

Mendi suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "Wouldn't it be better to stay in the demon realm and cause trouble for Uncle Agares? The human realm isn't fun."

Upon hearing this, Bai Nianxuan scoffed, "Aren't you afraid Agares will beat you up?"

"You all want me to stay in the Demon Realm, but I don't want to."

Bai Nianxuan refused their request, saying, "When that moment comes, don't hesitate."

"Let's draw our swords and meet."

Bai Nianxuan ultimately left the Demon Clan, ignoring A Bao and Men Di's attempts to persuade him to stay.

Looking at the empty palace, Abao and Mendi felt a sense of desolation for the first time.

On this day, Abao received a laurel sapling delivered by the moonlit night. He carefully nurtured it in the palace, waiting for it to grow slowly.

Abao and Mendi were saddened by the departure of their childhood playmate.

However, A Bao's sadness was soothed by the moonlight.

This separation lasted for more than ten years.

We met again on the eve of the Dream Paradise.

Abao and Mendi were ordered by the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu to retrieve a special spirit furnace from Dream Paradise, which is the divine essence of the Goddess of Nature.

Their goals differed, naturally leading to a conflict. However, Abao wanted to conspire with Mendi to scheme against Bai Nianxuan.

None of them wanted to relinquish their divine status, so naturally they wanted to imprison Bai Nianxuan and prevent her from taking action.

More than ten years have passed since they last met, and Bai Nianxuan's cultivation level has changed a lot.

Of course, A Bao also met his nephew, Bai Haochen.
