Chapter 651 Withdrawal of Troops
Chapter 651 Withdrawal of Troops
At this moment, the black-armored demon soldiers split into two rows, and two golden-armored generals stepped forward. They were none other than the Snow Wolf Clan Chief and the Black Bear Clan Chief!
The Snow Wolf Clan Chief's silver mane fluttered, and his emerald eyes were filled with coldness; the Black Bear Clan Chief was as burly as a small mountain, and with a muffled groan, the surrounding demon soldiers all bowed down.
The two arrived at the courtyard gate, placed their hands on their chests, and respectfully performed a grand salute befitting a demon.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the Demon Queen!"
The little snow wolf and little black bear hiding behind Jiang Li were immediately dumbfounded.
Her Highness the Demon Queen? Who is the Demon Queen?
Jiang Li coldly replied, "You two have come to the wrong place. I don't have any demon queens here."
The Snow Wolf Clan Chief said, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. His Majesty the Demon Emperor has summoned you. Please come with us immediately."
Jiang Li snorted: "You demons, can't you understand human language? I'll repeat myself, there is no demon queen here, you've come to the wrong place!"
Chief Xuanxiong's face contorted with rage, his voice booming like thunder: "If Your Highness disobeys the decree, do not blame us for being rude!"
Jiang Li chuckled: "You're Clan Chief Xuanxiong, right? You're so loud, it's not good if you scare the juniors."
She turned slightly to the side, and the dumbfounded little black bear and little snow wolf appeared before the demons.
When the Black Bear Clan Chief and the Snow Wolf Clan Chief suddenly saw their own cub, they were filled with shock and anger.
This future demon queen has managed to kidnap a child from their tribe without anyone noticing! How did she manage to do it?!
"Little Yao!"
"Little Eighteen!"
"Release my junior immediately!"
Jiang Li chuckled, her tone full of disdain: "I kindly invited the two young friends to my humble abode, but my good intentions have been met with ingratitude. The two clan leaders have come to my door in person, shouting and threatening to kill me."
The little snow wolf finally came to his senses. He looked at Jiang Li in shock and stammered, "You...you are Her Highness the Demon Queen?"
Isn't it the Colorful Feathered Spirit Phoenix?
Even a low-ranking noble can become a femme fatale?
Jiang Li smiled faintly: "I am not some demon queen, I have a Daoist partner."
As she spoke, she removed her elaborate disguise, "I'm sorry for deceiving you. I am actually a human, and I had no choice but to disguise myself as the Colorful Feather Spirit Phoenix."
After the demonic aura disappeared, it was replaced by the pure and flawless aura of the Immaculate Spirit.
This aura has a fatal attraction for the demon race!
The little black bear and the little snow wolf were stunned. The lady in front of them was so beautiful, they really wanted to touch her!
The two little ones' faces flushed bright red. The little black bear stammered, "Sister, you're so pretty. I...can we be friends?"
The little snow wolf was more direct. It let out a howl, rolled on the ground, revealing its snow-white belly, and rolled around at Jiang Li's feet, wanting her to touch its little belly.
The demons outside were dumbfounded. Separated by two layers of formations, they could not sense the power of the Immaculate Spirit Body. They could only think that the Demon Queen had used some kind of "sorcery" to bewitch the two little cubs.
The two clan leaders roared in unison.
"Little Yao!"
"Little Eighteen!"
The deafening roar made Huichun Teng's legs go weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Li, fearing something might happen to her, quickly said, "Xiao Teng, you go back first."
The rejuvenating vine stubbornly shook its head, "Little vine wants to stay with its master."
With so many ferocious demon soldiers outside, she couldn't let her master face them alone.
Jiang Li felt comforted and smiled, "Okay. But don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't take it anymore, go back right away."
"Yes, yes!" Rejuvenating Vine nodded vigorously.
She still has to go out and train with her master. If she can't even handle this little bit of pressure, how will she protect her master in the future?
The "Lion's Roar" of the Black Bear Clan Chief and the Snow Wolf Clan Chief failed to awaken the little Snow Wolf and the little Black Bear. The two little ones were still staring at Jiang Li with adoring expressions.
The two clan leaders were caught in a dilemma, hesitant to act for fear of inadvertently harming the innocent.
The Seven Star Demon-Slaying Formation emitted a faint glow, enveloping the entire courtyard within its array.
Although the faint light was not dazzling, it carried a chilling sword aura that made the surrounding demon soldiers shiver and instinctively take a half step back.
The two clan leaders had grim expressions, but they dared not step forward rashly. The other party had a hostage in hand. If they attacked by force, what would happen if she used her own little cub as a shield?
The two exchanged a glance and decided to use delaying tactics.
The Snow Wolf Clan Chief secretly ordered his confidant to report back to the Demon Emperor immediately, while he stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said in a somewhat earnest tone: "Your Highness, could you please make an exception? As long as you are willing to release my child, my Snow Wolf Clan will immediately withdraw its troops without any further questions."
Chief Xuanxiong stepped forward and echoed him in a deep, muffled voice, his meaning being exactly the same as that of Chief Xuelang.
Jiang Li Gege laughed and said, "It's easy. You two make a vow against your inner demons, and I will release them immediately."
Left with no other choice, the Snow Wolf Clan Chief and the Black Bear Clan Chief made a vow to the Demon God to swear an oath against their inner demons.
"...We swear to the demon god that if we do not retreat today, may we be struck by lightning, our souls scattered, and our bodies and souls extinguished!"
They played a trick, saying they would withdraw their troops today, but they didn't guarantee they wouldn't send troops to besiege them again in the future.
Jiang Li naturally understood, and she chuckled inwardly, for she was no different.
She released these two little brats today, but she can continue to abduct them tomorrow.
Once she's thoroughly explored the entire Demon Realm, she'll lure even more little ones away!
"We have sworn an oath to our inner demons, please, Your Highness, release my child."
The two clan leaders bowed in unison.
Jiang Li snorted: "I am not some kind of demon queen, please call me Fairy Jiang."
"Yes, please, Fairy Jiang, show mercy!"
Jiang Li smiled, squatted down, and said softly to the little snow wolf and the little black bear, "Your elders have arrived, so let's stop here for today. I'll see you out."
The little snow wolf and the little black bear looked at her expectantly, "Sister, can we come to your house again in the future?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Of course you can! I'll always welcome you!"
She whispered in their ears, "I'll come visit you guys again in a few days."
"Okay, pinky promise!"
The two little ones' eyes lit up. Regardless of whether this older sister was human or demon, they were determined to be her friend!
The three boys made a pinky promise together.
Jiang Li then turned to Hui Chun Teng: "Xiao Teng, send them both out."
"okay!"
The Rejuvenating Vine acted swiftly, its long vines wrapping around the little snow wolf and little black bear around their waists. With a sudden burst of strength, it tossed them high into the air like sandbags, throwing them over the wall.
The Snow Wolf Clan Chief and the Black Bear Clan Chief quickly leaped up and caught their cubs safely.
The two little ones were giggling with joy; flying high was so much fun!
The two clan leaders, their faces grim, tossed the two cubs to their personal guards and waved their hands, "Retreat!"
The demon soldiers retreated like a tide.
In the thick fog, only the crisp sound of armor clashing and the rustling of feet crushing gravel could be heard fading into the distance, and soon the courtyard returned to tranquility.
The vine's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Just as Xie Chang'an was about to leave the Dragon Palace, Jiang Li suddenly stood up. "Brother Chang'an, don't come out yet!"
She sensed that another uninvited guest had arrived!
