The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Gambling on control of the entire demon race?!

When Mingye and a group of opponents of Chi Miao heard this, their eyes lit up and their hearts began to pound.

This was something he had been longing for day and night, and Chi Miao actually wanted to gamble with him?!

He thought... that Chi Miao had become the Demon Mother, and he had no chance at all.

I can't believe this idiot would gamble with something so important!

"Alright! Tell me, how do you want to bet?"

Chi Miao looked at Xing Qi, a hint of something intriguing in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Xing Qi, don't you demons have a prophecy? The day the Demon Mother returns will be the day the calamity ends?"

Xingqi was taken aback and nodded: "There is indeed such a prophecy. Could it be that you intend to...?"

"Yes." Without him saying it aloud, Chi Miao directly confirmed his thoughts, then turned to face Ming Ye:

"Since there's such a prophecy, and Xingqi also said that the demon race has suffered from this famine for a long time, why don't we... use it as a bet!"

"My birthday is in seven days. If I can find a way to avert the demon calamity before then, I'm sure... you'll all be convinced of my identity as the Demon Mother, right?"

The moment Chi Miao finished speaking, almost all the demons present held their breath, unable to believe it.

are you crazy?

They actually used this as a bet!

You must understand that prophecy is prophecy, and not all prophecies can be fulfilled; the key lies in the devil's will!

Even Xingqi, who had issued the prophecy, stepped forward: "Mother, you three..."

Before he could pronounce the word "思" (si), the Heavenly Fox King stopped him.

Originally, the Heavenly Fox King was worried that Chi Miao would overdo it, but now... he was no longer worried. Instead, he felt confident of victory and thought Chi Miao was brilliant!

If Chi Miao uses her Demon Mother bloodline and identity to suppress Ming Ye and the others now, the Demon Clan will inevitably face a split, its combat power will be greatly reduced, and it will become a hidden danger.

However, if the prophecy is used to solve the famine that the demons care about most, then all the demons will surely be convinced.

After all—besides the Demon Mother, who else could change the structure of the demon race?

The Heavenly Fox King chuckled wickedly, "Just trust her. She's determined to win."

At this moment, the Heavenly Fox King looked at Chi Miao, who was suspended in the center of all the demons, and curled her lips. Everything was under her control.

Overjoyed, Mingye quickly agreed, "Great! That's wonderful! I agree to this bet! If you cannot deliver results within seven days and cannot avert the famine in the Demon Realm, then... please keep your promise and relinquish control of the Demon Realm!"

"Heaven is above! It will witness all of this!"

The smile in Chi Miao's eyes grew increasingly obscure. He nodded and said, "Alright, Heaven is above, and it will witness all of this."

"If I succeed, I hope you will understand what you should do from now on."

Mingye squinted at Chi Miao: "If you succeed, I will be doomed forever."

He made a casual oath, little did he know that he would regret it deeply in the near future.

He was able to make such a solemn oath simply because he believed from the bottom of his heart that, apart from invading the human race, the only solution to the famine was to domesticate humans again.

Chi Miao is human, and it is pleased that Chi Miao wants to harm humans.

Besides... if Chi Miao could accomplish all this in just seven days, then the demon race wouldn't have been troubled for so long!

The "circle" set up by the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal is not so easy to solve!

Mingye chuckled coldly several times, his anticipation for Chi Miao's final outcome growing ever stronger.

"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now. We look forward to your results in seven days, hehehehehe!!!"

He intended to transform into dense demonic energy and fly away, but after spinning around twice, he discovered that his cultivation had been sealed.

Chi Miao: "Pfft."

"I'm not in a hurry to know what the outcome will be in seven days, but right now... you should be more concerned about how to get back, shouldn't you?"

The Heavenly Fox King couldn't help but laugh: "What a disgrace, Mingye."

Mingye's skin was already dark red, but now it was truly flushed red with anger.

He thought he was being teleported, but it turned out he had no cultivation level and was just spinning around.

Oh shit.

He couldn't even bear to think about that scene.

He has to leave now, otherwise staying here will only make him look even more pathetic. But how is he supposed to leave? Is he really going to walk back for days and nights on foot?

Let's just kill him then.

Just then, Chi Miao said, "I can have someone take you back."

Mingye squinted: "You'd be that kind?"

Chi Miao: "Of course, I'm your mother, how could I be unkind?"

"Come, call me 'Mom,' and say, 'Dear Mom, please let me go back.'"

Mingye's face flushed even redder with anger: "You're dreaming!"

Isn't this blatantly humiliating him?!

Chi Miao: "Then you should walk back."

Her simple words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, leaving them speechless and their blushes failing to rise even halfway through.

"Think about it, you can walk, but your brothers and sisters might not. Are you going to let them suffer just to save face? Sigh! They really are unreliable!"

Night is about to explode, take a deep breath.

The demons behind him whispered amongst themselves.

"I think Chi Miao is indeed the Demon Mother. Why don't we betray her now?"

"I think that's fine, I just don't want to walk back."

Oh shit!

Mingye broke down again, feeling so much pressure she could hardly breathe. She had no choice but to abandon her pride and shout, "Fine! Fine, fine, fine!"

"Dear... dear mother, please let us go back?" Mingye said these words through gritted teeth, using all her strength.

Chi Miao: "Speak louder, haven't you eaten? I can't hear you. Oh... I forgot, you haven't eaten in a long time."

Mingye: "I—"

Before he could continue speaking, he was teleported away.

Chi Miao: "I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just talking nonsense."

The remaining demons all looked at Chi Miao with expressions of shock and bewilderment.

No... this Demon Mother?

This is so infuriating!

If it's nighttime, they'd rather smash their head against a block of tofu and die.

Chi Miao looked at everyone: "What's wrong? Why the long face? Are you stunned by my beauty?"

The demons: "emmmmm."

This mother doesn't seem like someone to be easily judged.

What a complicated demon.

Xingqi was still a little nervous as he slowly walked to Chi Miao's side.

"Mother...you didn't need to make a betting agreement with him at all. You are the Demon Mother...the demons worship you."

Chi Miao looked at Xing Qi and retorted, "If I don't have enough strength and achievements to prove myself, I'm just a puppet. Besides a stubborn fool like you, who would be truly convinced by me?"

Star, the Stubborn Fool, Qi: "?"

I tried to offer a friendly reminder but got yelled at. I'm so upset!

The Heavenly Fox King, who was standing to the side, also smiled.

"Chi Miao, stop teasing him and just tell him."

Xingqi belatedly realized: "You...have a secret?"

Chi Miao: "Yes, it's a big secret."

Xingqi: "How big?"

Chi Miao: "We have solved the famine problem."

Xingqi: "?????????"

What?!
