--- Chapter 266 ---

Upon Huan Caiyi's arrival in the Hidden City, many people halted their steps and greeted her.

"Your Majesty!" 

Coming from different races, each has the same reverence toward Huan Caiyi, the Little Demon Empress. 

Interestingly, they should erase the 'Little' in her title now because Huan Caiyi has obtained the Demon Emperor Seal and has the right to become the Demon Empress.

Huan Caiyi nodded and waved her hand at them, "Go, don't mind me." 

Only after that did they move and continue doing their work.

Yu Long, Chu Yuechan, and Tempest looked at how calmly Huan Caiyi conducted herself. Her bearing as an empress sure is impressive.

He looked around and said, "This hidden city is 'faintly' surrounded by space-time enhancement. It seems you're expecting invasion before it begins." 

Huan Caiyi looked troubled and replied, "I will tell you about it later." 

"For now, let's meet the Patriarchs under me." 

"Sure." Yu Long shrugged casually. 

To him, Huan Caiyi's method of avoiding danger is half-cooked. If Huan Caiyi really wanted to protect her people and herself, a mere 1st level enhancement isn't enough to hold people like Ares and Poseidon. 

She has talent as a witch, but that doesn't make her omnipotent. 

After all, she has yet to mature in this field. 

'Well, let's see what she had in this place.' Yu Long thought to himself.

Huan Caiyi brought them to a bustling restaurant and stepped onto the second floor after giving the owner a few words. Opening the ordinary-looking wooden door, she revealed a simple room with a circular table.

Around the table are twelve Sovereign-level Experts, chatting until Huan Caiyi's arrival. They are none other than the Patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families under the Imperial Demon Family.

"Empress." The patriarchs hurriedly stood from their seats and bowed to Huan Caiyi.

Huan Caiyi stared at them calmly, "Get up." 

"I've returned from the Demonic Star Secret Realm and have bad and good news for you." 

"First, the Illusory Demon Realm will get invaded soon. Our enemies are those at the Profound God Realm." 

"They are Gods from another world..." 

The patriarchs were shocked by this revelation. 

"This... Empress, what should we do?" Asked a middle-aged man with elven traits. He has blonde hair, bright blue eyes, longer ears, and transparent butterfly wings.

Huan Caiyi glanced at the elven man and replied, "You guys don't have to panic. We have the solution on our side." 

"Yu Long, if you may step up. I'll introduce you to the patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families."

Yu Long stepped forward calmly, observing the so-called patriarchs of the Twelve Guardian Family with a keen gaze. He could see their unique origins, mostly demons or profound beasts.

Well, half of them were demons. The other half were humans with unique bloodlines.

Oh, yeah. The middle-aged man who asked Huan Caiyi earlier is surprisingly an Elf.

Not to the Elf Yu Long knew, but possesses some similarities.

What makes Yu Long interested in them isn't their physical appearance, though. 

It's their physique and bloodline.

Unlike those experts in the Profound Sky Continent, these patriarchs' physiques and bloodlines refined to a certain level. They didn't 'blindly' train themselves and put their best qualities on a pedestal. 

'Is he Yun Che's father?' Yu Long's gaze stopped on a sick-looking man wearing a yellow robe. He could feel the Yun Family's bloodline in him. 

'Well, the situation is much different than I originally thought.' 

'I thought Caiyi's situation would end up like the original, but it seems my appearance caused a butterfly effect, and all the Twelve Guardian Families were loyal to her.'

He closed his eyes and concluded, 'Of course, there are some rats. Well, they better behave.' 

Huan Caiyi didn't notice Yu Long's prying eyes and said, "Okay, let me introduce you to Yu Long." 

"He's the Leader of Heavenly Demon Cult." 

"And my fiance!" 

The patriarchs were shocked once again.

For some reason, this was more shocking than the invasion news earlier.

Who doesn't know the Little Demon Empress? 

She was the ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm. She possessed immense power and beauty that made one kneel in reverence. 

However, it was a public secret that Huan Caiyi's relationship was shrouded in misery.

On the happy day of Huan Caiyi's wedding, her soon-to-be husband disappeared mysteriously and never appeared again. Many people made bold assumptions, but most believed that she killed him herself.

After that, hundreds of years passed, and Huan Caiyi became distant and cold, making her feared among the people. It was the beginning of her Tyranny, or so people thought.

However, they didn't dare to say it out loud. 

But here, Huan Caiyi suddenly announced this random young man was her fiance. Yes, Yu Long looks handsome, but his appearance means nothing in this cursed world.

Yu Long rubbed his nose and said, "Don't look at me intensely like that. I am not interested in a bunch of old guys..." 

"..." The patriarchs. Their mouths twitched simultaneously. 

Huan Caiyi shook her head helplessly, "Don't look down on Yu Long just because he was young. He can kill all of you in a breath." 

"And no. I'm not joking." 

"Yu Long has killed half of the Heavenly Kings and took over the Demonic Star Secret Realm."

"On top of that, he also has a way to protect us from the invasion." 

Yu Long smiled at Huan Caiyi's introduction, "You're over-praising me, Caiyi." 

"No, it's more like I'm underappreciating you." Huan Caiyi sighed. Words aren't enough to describe Yu Long. 

"I've never heard of Heavenly Demon Cult before. Isn't the name a bit pretentious..." An elder with snake-like traits commented.

"Don't tell me you planned to take over Her Majesty's position?" 

After hearing this horrendous accusation, Yu Long couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.

"Haha, what a dumbass." 

"What did you say?" The elder was angered.

"Her Majesty, please don't trust a random man easily!"

Huan Caiyi's expression darkened, "Helian Kuang, are you implying that this empress is charmed?" 

"Do you think I was 'easily' enamored that I couldn't distinguish between wrong and right?"

Helian Kuang's face lost its color. He coughed awkwardly and explained himself, "No! Of course not, Empress!"

Yu Long chuckled even more at this, "Haa... So funny." 

"A little worm is daring to ask me such a thing."

"Listen, If I want to, I can take over the Illusory Demon Realm in less than a day. I didn't do it because that would waste my energy." 

"Also... I don't like to be inconvenient." 

"He's telling the truth." Huan Caiyi added calmly. 

"B-But..." Helian Kuang couldn't keep his mouth shut. He felt Yu Long would threaten his position if he got too close to Huan Caiyi.

Swoosh!

Before everyone's eyes, Helian Kuang's body suddenly floated and moved toward Yu Long. They didn't react and suddenly saw Yu Long holding Helian Kuang's neck.

Yu Long lifted Helian Kuang and commented, "Your neck feels nice in my hand." 

"What do you think will happen if I break it?" 

Everyone in the room broke into cold sweats except for Huan Caiyi and Chu Yuechan. 

Chu Yuechan stood close to Yu Long and sighed, 'What a bunch of fools. Hubby is trying to be lowkey, but you're slandering him as a boy toy.' 

'I would have drawn my sword if Hubby didn't stop me earlier.' 

Huan Caiyi glanced at Yu Long in surprise, 'Yu Long wasn't supposed to be a rash character. Then, why? Is he doing this for me?' 

Her heart felt a little warm.

Yu Long stared at Helian Kuang's eyes and saw them become slit like a snake. The patriarch is humiliated and wants to use his power to overpower him.

Unfortunately, Helian Kuang's attempt is childish in Yu Long's eyes.

BAM!

Blergh!

Yu Long lowered Helian Kuang and kicked his stomach hard, sealing his meridian from activating his bloodline ability.

Helian Kuang coughed a mouthful of blood and fainted on the floor.

Everyone stared at him silently.

Yu Long wiped his hand with a handkerchief and introduced himself despite Huan Caiyi having done it earlier, "Nice to meet you all."

"My name is Yu Long." 

"And I'm Caiyi's Fiance." 

"So, let's have a civil chat, or I will beat you up like him." He pointed at Helian Kuang.

"Understand?" 

"Yes/Understood!" The remaining patriarchs nodded dumbly like a chicken.
