Chapter 8: CH 8

"Mom, don't set the temperature of the electric blanket so high. It's too hot, it'll catch on fire."

The little beast mumbled weakly in its sleep. It moved to the side and clung to the slightly chilly wall, giving out a sound of comfort.

Although Han Shengyao couldn't understand her words, Lin Qianshuang's simple and honest movements amused her.

Shuang'er, she was just a baby demon.

As a young child, where did her many concerns come from?

Feeling that her suspicions were a little odd, Han Shengyao let out a laugh. She tucked the corner of the quilt Lin Qianshuang had raised unconsciously. Listening to her even breaths, Han Shengyao's mind slowly calmed. Soon, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to deep sleep.

"Junior sister, get up. It's time for breakfast."

Lin Qianshuang had a dream where her team leader was full of praise for the design plan she had made. Intending to celebrate by having a big dinner, she sent invitations to her friends through WeChat. Then all of a sudden, her body was forcefully hoisted up into the air and hung upside down. Blood rushed to her head, causing her to wake up in a cold sweat.

A beautiful and tender face belonging to a youth closely looked over her sleeping figure from the bottom up.

"Senior brother Xia?"

Gradually awakening, Lin Qianshuang sobered up when she saw the face in front of her.

She did not return to her original world. She was still in the novel: "Conquest of the Four Realms."

The updated Favorability Interface of the System popped up in her eyes and froze for ten seconds.

Under the portrait of the Sage of the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace, the pink gauge of the Favorability Bar rose by two squares, indicating a 12% increase.

Lin Qianshuang's tiredness immediately vanished, and she subconsciously looked around her surroundings. The space beside her was empty, meaning that Han Shengyao had left, and Xia was holding her in the air by her tail.

"Junior sister, you can really sleep. I kept calling you several times, but you still didn't wake up."

Lin Qianshuang gave Xia a slightly embarrassed smile as he placed her down. She wasn't usually such a heavy sleeper. Perhaps it was due to the high pressure from her mission, which would inevitably take a long time to complete, that the moment her head hits the pillow, she would fall into a deep sleep.

Xia gently combed Lin Qianshuang's hair after dabbing the comb with a bit of water. He clasped a silver bangle around the front of her foot and said seriously, "Junior sister, you must take good care of your Jade Slip as it is now a symbol of your status in the Demon Realm. This time, you will enter the main hall of the demon palace together with the master. Remember to listen to the master and don't run around or talk to anyone else."1

Lin Qianshuang looked at the silver ring on her ankle with curiosity. It was adorned with long wings and flying mythical birds, and its surface was painted with feathers. The reflection from the soft light of the sun gave off the illusion of overlapping textures and colors.

Xia also wore a bangle, but unlike what she was wearing, it was a poor quality iron ring that was a little dull and rusty from having worn it for a very long time.

You are reading story The Harem Rescue Project at novel35.com

A few demons of the Demon Dao believe in the Ten Mythical Beasts of ancient times. For thousands of years, they have been searching for descendants of the mythical beasts in hopes of obtaining the true blood of the Phoenix. Which was capable of helping them advance in their cultivation at a tremendous pace, attain the fruits of the Demon Dao as early as possible to cross calamities, and ascend(1).

Yesterday, Lin Qianshuang learned about the Phoenix blood from Han Shengyao. She specifically asked the system about it, and this hidden setting, which was not described much in the original novel, became known to her.

Her Identity Jade Slip was engraved with ancient beasts and mythical birds, while senior brother Xia's Identity Jade Slip was only a simple iron ring. It could be seen from here that in the Demon Realm, the bangles worn by famous Demon Cultivators have certain connections to their status and identity, similar to what Xia had said.

After freshening up, Xia took Lin Qianshuang to the hall inside the cave.

Dressed in a dazzling red dress, Han Shengyao sat at the table in a posture radiating with dignity, lightly sipping a cup of fragrant tea with elegance.

Her soft eyelashes slumped a little, her slightly slanted eyes watched the peach blossoms blooming outside the sculpted window. Her side profile appeared bright and dreamy under the pale light.

After hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head and gazed at the beautiful silvery white beast approaching her. The corners of her lips involuntarily hooked up slightly, "Shuang'er, you're here."

Lin Qianshuang admired both the picturesque scenery and the person, feeling as if she was in paradise. When Han Shengyao spoke up, she returned to her senses and said with a smile, "Master, good morning."

Han Shengyao's eyes never left the beautiful silvery white beast, watching her jump on the stool and pick up the spoon. When Lin Qianshuang saw the porridge of green vegetables, she lost her demeanor for a moment before swallowing a spoonful. Her charming azure blue eyes lit up, and she picked up the bowl to drink the rest.

Lin Qianshuang was disgusted by the sight of the green vegetable porridge, but after tasting it, she immediately became addicted. She never knew that the green vegetable porridge could be so fragrant. The porridge was similar to what she ate back in her original world, but it was also different as it contained demonic energy that nourished her body and mind with a pleasant sensation. The delicious flavour lingered in her mouth.

Han Shengyao's fixed stare made Lin Qianshuang feel a little uncomfortable. She reminded her of the leaders who regularly patrolled the company, giving her a sense of restraint.

She knew that Han Shengyao has always had a problem with her table manners and subconsciously changed from swallowing big mouthfuls to small ones.

"Drink a cup of fragrant tea after eating to concentrate and transform your energy. Otherwise, too much demonic energy will gather, making it difficult to absorb."

Han Shengyao poured a cup of fragrant tea and placed it in front of Lin Qianshuang.

Lin Qianshuang picked up the napkin next to her and wiped her mouth. She took the porcelain cup and raised her head to say, "Master, are you planning to take me to the demon palace this morning to settle accounts with Bai Wan on what she tried to do to you last night?"2

"If I don't go, Bai Wan will come to us. It's best to go to the demon palace and meet the Demon Emperor first."

Han Shengyao took a sip of the porcelain cup. Her line of sight lazily withdrew from Lin Qianshuang's body as she said, "This time, I'm taking you there to apologize. As my official disciple, you have hurt Bai Wan. It won't be good for the both of us if we're caught in the crossfire. Bai Wan is narrow-minded, so if she finds your trace, she won't forgive you lightly. We must act first and get the Demon Emperor to forgive you for your disrespect so that she'll be incapable of doing anything."

Lin Qianshuang's heart felt a little warm from Han Shengyao's thoughtfulness. She had almost forgotten about the scratches she inflicted on Bai Wan's face, but Han Shengyao still remembered and even feared that Bai Wan would hold a grudge against her. This time, she was personally taking her to the demon palace to apologize.

In the original novel, Han Shengyao could care less about her disciples. But now that her heart had opened up, she became a master who was good in all aspects.

Lin Qianshuang secretly thought in her heart.

In the Promise Hall on the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace, Bai Wan sat opposite of the Demon Emperor, dining under the service of the attendants. They had just performed a spur-of-the-moment act of pleasure on the bed early in the morning. Both of them were in a good mood with a sense of satisfaction after being nourished by the □□□(2).2

"Your majesty, the Sage requests for an audience. She said she has something important to report to you."

The guard walked into the hall and knelt on one knee.

Hearing the word "Sage", the Demon Emperor felt a little tired when he thought it was the usual busy affairs and said, "Tell her to wait in the main hall, this deity will see her later."

"Yes, your majesty."

The guard turned around and left after receiving his answer.

Bai Wan, who was eating the nutritious chicken soup, felt surprised when she heard that it was Han Shengyao requesting an audience.

Last night, she sent someone to drug Han Shengyao while she was breaking through. She was very sure that Han Shengyao had taken the hit.

No matter how capable Han Shengyao is, all the people Bai Wan sent and saw through her plan would have already been killed by her. But if Han Shengyao went crazy, she would turn the Demon Palace upside down and the moment that time came, the Demon Emperor would blame and conveniently expel her from the palace.

But the moment she heard the guard's report, Bai Wan became a little confused and doubted herself for the first time.

Han Shengyao arrived at the Demon Palace early in the morning, but obviously, nothing happened.

When Bai Wan and the Demon Emperor walked arm-in-arm into the main hall, they saw Han Shengyao holding a beautiful silvery white beast cub in her arms while kneeling down. The demonic energy draped around her body was much more refined and her realm had improved a lot.

Han Shengyao's realm didn't drop, but instead, she became a Demon Sovereign. How could this be possible?

Bai Wan was completely overwhelmed by the other party's aura. She could clearly feel the gaps between their cultivations. Shocked, a trace of jealousy appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Han Shengyao's intact appearance with disbelief. She also noticed the beautiful beast cub in her arms, realizing that it was the culprit who scratched her cheeks last time. Although the scars had already healed, the searing pain still lingered.2

She stared at Lin Qianshuang with gloomy eyes. When she turned, the emotions within them were hidden behind a clear watery light.

She shrank into the Demon Emperor's arms and pretended to tremble against his sturdy chest with fear. Her voice shook as she said, "Sister Shengyao, in your arms, isn't that the young demon who scratched me last time? Ah Heng, I'm so scared. That beast is a fierce one. If it takes advantage of my inattentiveness and hurts me again, what should I do if the baby in my belly is affected?"1

When she mentioned the baby, Bai Wan became teary-eyed and gently raised her hand to protect her abdomen. She look at Han Shengyao with sorrow and said, "I don't want to experience the pain of nearly losing my flesh and blood again."2

The Demon Emperor soothed her as his sharp gaze swept over the cold and gorgeous face of Han Shengyao. He then shifted his sight to the beautiful silvery white young demon in her arms. With an indifferent and cold tone, he said, "The Sage seems to have visited this deity in a hurry, why? If you have brought this beast to make amends with my lover, then you can leave it behind."

"I'm here to plead for my rebellious disciple. Shuang'er, my official disciple, has offended his majesty, the Demon Emperor's beloved lover. Your majesty, please condemn."

Han Shengyao placed Lin Qianshuang down and pressed her head on the ground. Looking up at the majestic Demon Emperor sitting high up, he appeared more comfortable before and was obviously in a good mood.

"Did you accept a disciple, or an official disciple? This isn't like you, Sage."

The Demon Emperor's hand lightly clasped the sculptures on the throne. His eyes darkened as he gazed over Lin Qianshuang's body. He raised his chin as he said, "Send your disciple up. This deity wants to take a good look at the kind of demon that can enter your eyes."
