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

Chapter 56 Bai Haochen, you are not allowed to confront the Demon Emperor.
When she was in her twenties, Pastor Bai Lingxuan was already a sixth-rank archbishop.

Just when everyone was waiting for her to shine, she perished after returning from a demon-hunting mission.

More than 30 years have passed since then, and Cardinal Ruoshui sometimes thinks that if Bai Lingxuan were still alive, she would at least be an eighth-order cardinal bishop, and possibly even a ninth-order saint.

"Greetings, Senior Ruoshui."

"I do have a connection with the priest's temple."

"Now my aunt is also a priest at the temple."

Bai Haochen's polite greetings awakened Ruoshui.

She looked again at this junior who exuded the aura of an old friend and couldn't help but sigh.

"If only you were a priest in the temple."

Since they all share the same surname as Bai Lingxuan, they should be members of their priestly temple.

Bai Haochen could only smile politely, unsure how to respond.

But someone else chimed in.

"Cardinal Weak Water, are you determined to keep undermining my Knights' Temple?"

Upon hearing this voice, Cardinal Ruoshui broke out in a cold sweat. However, she still managed a polite and appropriate smile and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Lord Dragon, you flatter me."

"Weak Water is just a sigh."

Damn it, how did this guy get here?

When Ruoshui Cardinal saw Long Xingyu, she had a feeling that she had come at the wrong time. She hadn't even started trying to pry open the corner of the wall before being discovered—how embarrassing!

"dad."

The difference was that Bai Haochen felt a little surprised when he saw Long Xingyu.

"Haochen, where is Fengjing?"

Long Xingyu directly asked Feng Jing where he was.

"My aunt went to hunt demonic beasts to replenish her alchemy materials."

Without thinking much, Bai Haochen immediately answered.

"Did you hear that, Weak Water Cardinal?"

Long Xingyu's cold gaze swept over Ruoshui, his intention to get rid of her was all too clear.

With Feng Jing gone and this menacing figure arriving, Ruoshui didn't want to stay any longer and left immediately upon hearing this.

“Dad, I suddenly realized that it’s such a coincidence that you always come to see me. Auntie is never here when you come.”

After Ruoshui left, Bai Haochen looked at Long Xingyu, who had suddenly arrived, and casually asked him a question.

The coincidence he mentioned almost made Long Xingyu choke.

Would Long Xingyu say that he deliberately chose to meet Bai Haochen when Feng Jing wasn't around?
Of course not, he would only ask in return.

"What a coincidence."

"But you never told her anything I taught you, did you?"

The "she" that Long Xingyu was referring to was naturally Feng Jing.

"No."

Bai Haochen answered decisively.

For the past five years, Long Xingyu often visited Bai Haochen when Feng Jing was not home, taking the opportunity to teach Bai Haochen some things. However, he forbade Bai Haochen to mention any of these things to Feng Jing, and Bai Haochen always complied.

Because even if he didn't say it, Feng Jing knew that Long Xingyu had been there, but he was pretending not to know.

"That's good."

"You also participated in this Demon Hunter Team selection competition, that's great."

"However, you will have to go to the Demon Realm once in a while to complete the task of obtaining the pre-competition entry ticket. This is a necessary step for every participant from the branch hall."

When Long Xingyu mentioned the word "Demon Clan," Bai Haochen could feel the killing intent emanating from him.

He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong, Dad?"

"nothing."

"But the demons are too dangerous, and they are our enemies. We have a blood feud between us..."

"I just hope nothing bad happens to you in the Demon Realm..."

Long Xingyu was so worried about Bai Haochen that his sincere feelings touched Bai Haochen. "Dad, I'll be careful."

Every time Long Xingyu came, he would give Bai Haochen a lesson, and this time was no exception, but this time, the lessons would be mostly academic.

Even after Long Xingyu left, Bai Haochen was still reflecting on everything Long Xingyu had just said.

"Daddy hates demons so much..."

Bai Haochen sensed the extreme hatred that Long Xingyu harbored for the demon race, but he still felt something was off.

"Does Dad want me to hate the demon race like he does?"

Bai Haochen quickly discovered that the strange thing was coming from here.

Long Xingyu kept explaining to Bai Haochen how cruel and terrifying the demon race was, repeating it over and over. It really felt like he was inflicting pain and hatred on himself.

Bai Haochen understood, but still felt a little awkward.

Although he knew that humans and demons were enemies with a blood feud, he didn't like others imposing their emotions on him, and he felt that doing so was wrong.

Long Xingyu probably didn't expect that his brainwashing of Bai Haochen would also be ineffective.

Bai Haochen listened to his words, but refused to accept this affection; his feelings could not be instilled in him by anyone.

"But should we tell Auntie...?"

"My aunt is so good to me, and she knows it's her skill. It would seem wrong of me to keep it from her."

Bai Haochen muttered to himself, preparing to tell Feng Jing everything.

Feng Jing appeared at this moment, but his expression was not good, and he was staring at the direction where Long Xingyu left.

"Auntie..."

“He said things like, ‘You are the hope of humanity. As the Holy Son of Light, you will surely be able to slay the Demon Emperor and bring light to mankind.’”

Feng Jing did not look away, and asked in a deep voice.

"It's happened many times, almost ten times, I think."

Bai Haochen answered Feng Jing's question first before showing concern for Feng Jing.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"fine."

"I'm fine."

"I'm perfectly fine."

If Bai Haochen still doesn't know that Feng Jing is in trouble after hearing this three times, then he's wasted all this time by Feng Jing's side.

"If he hates the demon race so much and wants to kill the Demon God Emperor so badly, why doesn't he go up there himself? Why does he have to provoke a child like you?"

After enduring it several times, Feng Jing finally couldn't help but complain.

"Hmm... because the Demon Emperor is too strong?"

Bai Haochen answered after a serious moment of thought.

This earned him a glare from Feng Jing.

"He thinks he's strong, so instead of trying to work hard himself, he tries to provoke you?"

Feng Jing was so angry she laughed. It was one thing to brainwash her, but Long Xingyu was also trying to brainwash Bai Haochen in two ways.

"Bai Haochen, listen to me, you are not allowed to confront the Demon Emperor. You..."

Before Feng Jing could finish speaking, Bai Haochen had already solemnly agreed.

"Yes!"

"Auntie, I will definitely not go up against the Demon Emperor."

His quick and decisive agreement caught Feng Jing off guard.

Aren't you going to ask me why I said that?

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

All of the above are my own interpretations.

The original novel doesn't mention Bai Lingxuan's age, level, or talent, but since she's Bai Haochen's grandmother and our female lead's mother, it's understandable that they'd give her some credit.

As for the relationship between Ruoshui and the other person, that's just a personal addition based on that.
