Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Duan Bo shook his head: "That's what you said to Ye Ye, but it's always unsettling without anyone following him. Unless Ye Ye's life is in danger, you don't need to take action."

"I know." The woman in black robes snorted. "But shouldn't you tell your emperor brother about this? After all, Ye Ye is his biological daughter."

"Of course I should mention it."

Duan Bo took a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"But I was just saying it."

……

……

I went to Du Fu Thatched Cottage, which is quite large, and then ate at a restaurant that's ranked number one on Meituan (a Chinese food delivery platform)...

Damn, I waited almost two hours for a meal... That's outrageous...

To be fair, life in Chengdu is indeed very comfortable; you can drink tea and eat snacks...

The people of Chengdu are also very hospitable.

I want to retire in Chengdu someday...

I'm never going to Tianfu Airport again...

Chapter 504 The King of the Southern Wilderness really knows how to joke!

The next morning, after packing his luggage, Ye Ye stood at the gate of the Southern Wilderness King's Mansion and happily said goodbye to his uncle.

For Duan Bo, this was Ye Ye's first long journey, and he hadn't gone with her. In fact, Duan Bo was already starting to have some regrets about not going with her.

But seeing how happy Ye Ye was, and since I had already promised Ye Ye, it was really hard to tell Ye Ye not to go.

Otherwise, going back on one's word would only make Ye Ye unhappy.

"Be careful on the road. Your uncle isn't with you, so be careful in everything you do. Remember, there are always more bad people than good people. No matter who it is, be wary, understand?"

Duan Bo affectionately tidied Ye Ye's hair, his expression full of worry as a father whose daughter was about to leave.

"Also, if you encounter any danger that you can't handle, then open the painting I gave you, Ye Ye. No matter where you are, I will rush to your side immediately."

By the way, be careful of men. In this world, apart from me, there aren't many good men. Many men like to deceive girls' feelings.

Even if you feel that a certain man is not bad, Ye Ye, you should keep your distance and tell your uncle when you get back.

Uncle will carefully oversee Ye Ye's selection process.

"Yes, Uncle, Ye Ye understands~ Don't worry, Uncle, Ye Ye is almost an adult, not a child anymore."

Ye Ye happily tiptoed.

Duan Bo wanted to say something more, but in the end, he gently closed his mouth.

Perhaps even Duan Bo felt he had been a bit long-winded.

"Okay, let's go."

Duan Bo gently rubbed Ye Ye's little head.

"Take a good look at this world."

"Okay, Uncle, Ye Ye is leaving now. Take good care of yourself, okay? Ye Ye will bring you a present!"

Ye Ye said happily, carrying her small backpack.

Duan Bo waved his hand, his eyes already slightly moist.

"Little Bai Ze, let's go."

"Lord Duan, we'll take our leave now."

Yinling and Xiaobai said goodbye and left with Ye Ye.

Watching Ye Ye walk away, Duan Bo felt a pang of melancholy.

For some reason, Duan Bo had a feeling.

As Ye Ye grows up, she will go further and further away, and I, an old man from the old era, will eventually be unable to keep up with her pace and can only watch her go.

"Ye will grow up eventually."

Suddenly, a man in black robes appeared beside Duan Bo. Looking at Ye Ye's back, the man in black robes was somewhat moved.

A man in black robes, and a woman in black robes.

They were Duan Bo's right-hand men.

"Even in the end, all we could do was watch them go," the man in black robes said, revealing his true feelings.

"Even if I can only watch her leave, I, Duan Bo, will handle everything behind the scenes for Ye Ye. No one should even think of holding Ye Ye back!"

Duan Bo spoke calmly.

"Let's go."

Once Ye Ye and the other two had completely disappeared from his sight, Duan Bo turned around.

"Come with me to the palace. I also need to tell my brother about his daughter's journey."

The man in black robes pinched the corner of his eye, sighed, and said in a rather helpless tone:

"Duan Bo, no matter what, Ye Ye is still the Demon Emperor's biological daughter. You, her uncle, are even closer to her than her biological father. He has already tolerated it."

Now, without his consent, you are essentially agreeing to let Ye Ye go on a long journey.

Aren't you afraid that your brother will eventually reach his breaking point?

"fed up?"

Duan Bo looked at the man in black robes and chuckled.

"Back then, he failed to protect her."

"Then now! He has no right to protect her daughter!"

"You..."

The man in the black robe was no longer willing to say anything.

If what he said had any effect, then the man before him wouldn't be the Southern Wilderness King, whom the entire Demon Kingdom feared.

"Oh, right, there are a few more things. In a few days, please pass on the order to compile a list of all our forces, both overt and covert, and then give me a list of the commanders of a thousand men and officials with a capacity of one thousand dan or more," Duan Bo instructed.

The man in black robes frowned slightly: "Do you really want to...?"

“Just in case,” Duan Bo shook his head. “If Ye Ye wants to compete for the throne, then I can mobilize all my forces in an instant.”

"Yes."

The man in black robes bowed deeply.

On the third day after Ye Ye left the Southern Wilderness King's Palace, Duan Bo appeared in the Imperial Palace.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

In the imperial study, Duan Bo bowed to the Demon Emperor.

"No need for such formalities."

The Demon Emperor smiled and helped Duan Bo up.

"Is Ye Ye back? The Lu Shu Kingdom just presented a nice little gift; Ye Ye will definitely like it."

"Your Majesty, Ye Ye has gone on a long journey," Duan Bo said with a smile.

As soon as Duan Bo finished speaking, the Imperial Study fell into a deathly silence.

The maidservant standing to the side was already sweating profusely.

They wanted to kneel down, but they didn't dare to move at all.

Their intuition told them that if they made even the slightest movement, they would be utterly destroyed.

The Demon Emperor looked coldly at Duan Bo, while Duan Bo smiled calmly.

"Wandered far away?" the Demon Emperor repeated.

"Yes, Ye Ye has made some friends. I have already learned about their backgrounds, so you can rest assured. Ye Ye went out for a trip with them and just set off the day before yesterday," Duan Bo explained simply.

The Demon Emperor's voice had turned somewhat cold: "As Ye Ye's biological father, I never imagined I wouldn't even know my daughter was traveling far away."

"Your Majesty is preoccupied with state affairs, how could I, your younger brother, waste your time? As for Ye Ye's matter, I will make the decision."

A terrible silence fell between them once again.

"Thank you for your trouble, Ye Ye." Finally, the Demon Emperor smiled and patted Duan Bo on the shoulder.

"Of course."

Duan Bo smiled as well, and they looked extremely friendly and respectful to each other.

"Now that I have no son, I sometimes think that if I had a daughter, that would be a wonderful thing."

Duan Bo's unspoken message was, "Your daughter is quite good. I need a daughter, so why don't you give Ye Ye to me as an adopted daughter?"

But how could the Demon Emperor agree?

"The King of the Southern Wilderness really knows how to joke."

The Demon Emperor chuckled and turned to sit back on the dragon throne.

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty? If not, I shall now review the memorials."

"Your Majesty, I have nothing more to say. I shall take my leave."

The King of the Southern Wilderness bowed and turned to leave.

Just as the King of the Southern Wilderness stepped out of the imperial study, the sound of a cup crashing heavily to the ground echoed from within.

Chapter 505 She made a condition with me

Inside a palace, a young and handsome man sat high above.

The man had horns on his forehead.

However, these horns don't look out of place at all; in fact, they even look somewhat heroic.

These horns are the symbol of the Oni race.

The Oni race is also a branch of the human race.

However, compared to ordinary humans, the Oni race is stronger.

Moreover, unlike ordinary humans, the Oni race is born with the ability to use spiritual power.

However, compared to humans, the fertility rate of the Oni race is actually relatively low.

Therefore, the Oni clan does not have much of a numerical advantage.

Now, in this war of all races, the Oni race has fallen into an extremely disadvantageous position.

The three races, along with four sects, are about to besiege the Oni race.

Originally, the Oni clan could have received support from the humans.

However, the Oni race refused the Human Emperor's invitation and did not want to join the human race.

The Oni race believes they can protect their homeland and do not need to form alliances with others.

The war between all races has now entered its most critical phase.

The human alliance naturally prioritizes protecting its own allies and has no way of sending troops to rescue the non-ally, the Oni race.

The bravery of the Oni race is indeed recognized by all races.

However, in this world, if you don't form alliances, you will only be attacked by others.

During the last great war, the king of the Oni tribe had already died, and now only the crown prince of the Oni tribe remains.

"Your Highness! Your Highness is of inestimable worth! We beg Your Highness to seek refuge in the human capital!"

A minister submitted a memorial to the emperor.

"The imperial city has a million inhabitants! If I leave, the entire Oni race will be slaughtered!" The Oni race's crown prince directly rejected the minister's proposal.
