Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 10: Running Away from Home with Abao

"Go, brother! Dig faster, brother!"

"Faster!!"

Inside the underground mausoleum, two figures, one large and one small, were moving about.

The bigger one was digging away with a sword, while the smaller one stood by, waving his arms and cheering him on.

The younger one was Feng Jing, who had run away from home again.

The larger one is Prince Abao, who disappeared from the Demon Emperor's Palace and was unlucky enough to be kidnapped by Feng Jing and run away from home together.

As Ah Bao pried open the tomb chamber, he questioned the meaning of life.

"who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I doing?"

Why don't I reject her?

Ah Bao's head was filled with question marks. He himself didn't understand what had possessed him to be so obedient to others.

She was just a little girl I'd only met once.

Is it just because this little girl looks a lot like her father and son?
Could it be because this little girl sweetly calls him "brother" the moment she sees him?

Abao didn't understand.

He felt that it was beneath him, as the son of the Demon God Emperor and the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, to listen to a little girl and do such a thing.

Several times I wanted to quit, but as soon as I turned around and met those pitiful eyes, I immediately and shamefully softened.

"Make sure no one finds out."

"That would be too disgraceful for the dragon."

After realizing he couldn't refuse, Abao could only think this helplessly.

In order to avoid being discovered by anyone, Ah Bao sped up his pace while trying to pry open someone else's tomb.

Soon, the two pried open a white jade coffin.

But when they saw what was inside the coffin, they were both dumbfounded.

You want me to dig up an empty grave?

"Huh? How come it's empty?"

Abao and Fengjing spoke almost simultaneously, their similar faces displaying the same expression of shock.

"Did my sister lie to me?"

"Or have we come to the wrong place again?"

"When I came in this time, I didn't make a mistake, did I?"

Feng Jing was completely baffled.

She was quite certain that she had found the place Bai Yue had mentioned, and her mother's name was written on the outside of the mausoleum.

She just couldn't understand why it was empty.

"Perhaps there's a problem with the source of your information."

The anger of being fooled that Abao felt only lasted for a moment, and at that moment he actually comforted Feng Jing.

"Where are we going now?"

Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?

This was the first time Ah Bao had ever left the Demon Clan's territory, and he really didn't know where to go, so he asked Feng Jing for directions.

Perhaps it was because of his youthful nature to yearn for freedom that he didn't want to return to the Demon Realm anytime soon and wanted to wander around outside more.

"Nothing."

Feng Jing shook her head. Before she could make up her mind, she felt a penetrating gaze sweep over her.

"father!"

"Dad came out of seclusion so quickly?"

This thought suddenly came to Feng Jing's mind.

"We have to go home first, brother, otherwise Dad will come and get us."

Without giving A Bao a chance to speak, Feng Jing grabbed A Bao's hand and walked towards the door that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

When they passed through the gate of light, the scene before them had changed; they were no longer in the mausoleum.

"Kid, where have you brought me this time?"

Over the past month, Abao has walked through this door countless times, and while he's gotten used to it, he's not entirely used to it yet.

"Demons!"

Feng Jing answered without hesitation.

"However, it seems my perception of space is a bit off again, and I haven't been able to teleport us back to the Demon Emperor's Palace in one step."

"And I don't even know where this is."

As Feng Jing spoke, she nervously fiddled with her fingers. She really didn't mean it!
She's just not familiar with the map of this continent. Once she's familiar with it, she definitely won't make this mistake again.

She promised.

"Let me see."

Abao felt he still needed to rely on himself; he was much more reliable.

"This seems to be the Yak Province? If so, then we're not too far from the Demon Emperor's Palace."

Ah Bao was incredibly reliable. He had mentally reconstructed the route several times and, after confirming it was correct, planned to take Feng Jing back to the Demon Emperor's Palace.

But Feng Jing didn't leave.

"Why don't we just wait here for Dad to pick us up and take us home..."

"We're both a bit bad with directions, and I'm afraid we'll get lost again."

"Stop, stop, stop! You're terrible with directions, don't drag me along!"

Ah Bao wouldn't admit that he had no sense of direction; he was just traveling far from home for the first time and was unfamiliar with the area.

"Okay, okay, I'm terrible with directions."

Feng Jing didn't make a fuss; she remained remarkably calm.

"But I'm serious, we can just wait for someone to come and pick us up."

Feng Jing said that she would never walk back; she was too lazy.

"Who will come—"

Abao's voice stopped abruptly, because at that moment he could feel that familiar bloodline approaching.

The person he held in the highest esteem was approaching.

Ah Bao's mind went completely blank; he had no idea what to say or do.

"Yeah, here it comes."

Sensing Fengxiu approaching, Fengjing grabbed Abao's hand and tried to run towards Fengxiu, but couldn't move her.

"elder brother?"

She turned back to look at Abao with some confusion.

But Abao didn't respond to her; he just lowered his head.

"You guys are pretty fast. One second you were in Zhennanguan, and now you're in Yake Province."

Fengxiu's appearance exuded an aura of power, causing Abao's head to droop even lower.

"Hey hey hey."

Caught red-handed, Feng Jing tried to get away with being cute.

But Fengxiu turned a blind eye and refused to fall for it.

"Tell me, whose idea was it? Who led the sneaking out?"

Feng Jing took responsibility and admitted to it himself.

"Of course it's me!"

"You know how well-behaved your brother is."

"I brought him out with me so he could relax."

Feng Jing will take responsibility for her own mistakes; she won't shirk her duties.

"Relax?"

Fengxiu was somewhat surprised.

I was not only surprised that the two of them had recognized each other at some point, and that their relationship seemed quite good, but also surprised that Abao was in such a bad mood that he needed to clear his head.

"Are you not happy?"

Feng Xiu frowned as she looked at A Bao. Could it be that there was someone in the Demon Emperor's Palace who dared to make his son suffer?

A Bao, who was still wondering what Feng Jing's true identity was, was stunned when she heard this question.

"I……"

But Abao really didn't know how to bring it up. He couldn't very well say that he was unhappy because of Fengxiu.

His behavior only made him look more pitiful.

“My brother is too embarrassed to say it, so I'll say it for him.”

"When I saw him, he looked like he was about to cry; he must have been in a bad mood..."

Before Feng Jing could finish speaking, A Bao covered his mouth.

Stop talking. Stop talking.

But despite her small size, Feng Jing was surprisingly difficult to hold down, and she easily broke free.

"Dad, you need to investigate thoroughly and find out who bullied my brother."

Abao froze, completely forgetting to stop Feng Jing.
