The Hero in Exile

"Hey, good morning, Lord Demon King and Lord Brave Man. You look so energetic. It seems that you slept very well last night." Darkley showed a meaningful expression.

Lingyu recalled that her face became visibly hotter when she slept in Moran's arms for a whole night. She lowered her head and kept fiddling with her thumbs.

"No...no, yesterday...I...we didn't do anything."

"You really should watch your mouth."

As he said that, Moran punched Dakley hard on the head.

"Ouch, that hurts." Darkley looked pitiful.

"You're still pretending. Don't you know how stubborn you are?"

Dakli's skill "Show Weakness" is invalid. Tsk, it's just a joke. In the end, it will turn out like what I said. This demon king is really protective of his wife. Oh, no, it's not like that yet.

"By the way, don't forget what you promised yesterday."

"understood."

"Okay, I'll go back first. Remember to come."

Dakli went to the backyard, pulled out his carriage, said goodbye briefly, and left back to his own territory.

"What did you promise him?" Lingyu, who had just returned to normal after Dackley left, asked curiously.

"He usually takes good care of the residents of my demon tribe. When they first moved in, it was Darkley who came to their aid when the snake tribe opposed and bullied them. So when their territory was attacked, he hoped that I would bring some people over to help."

"Then why do we need to ask you to go? Can't you just let them go?"

"Well, the main reason is that the fire dragon's flames are difficult to extinguish with magic, so he wants me to go. Although my strength has been weakened, I can still do it. I will go and call the two of them to help. You just rest here."

Seeing that Moran was about to leave, Lingyu grabbed the corner of his clothes. She felt a little embarrassed but still spoke.

"Can I come along? I can help, too."

"puff."

Moran was amused by this guy's cute appearance. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to. He couldn't stop.

"What do you mean? I was just trying to help you, and you...you're still laughing."

"Nothing, actually I can finish it in the afternoon. You don't need to come over. Take a good rest. It won't be long before we have to leave again to find a way to solve the curse. There are also many things to do, such as revenge on the church and finding the remaining compatriots. Take a good rest, okay?"

As Moran said this, he put his hand on Lingyu's head and stroked it. It was obviously his own business to find the demon tribe and he told me about it but I didn't agree. Lingyu thought so but still did not stop Moran from doing it to her.

"You two little guys are still flirting here, and you don't care about me, an old man, and that guy are about to fight."

Brunson walked in at some point and said this, his eyes full of fatigue, but Moran didn't care about him.

"I've never seen an old man lift a two-handed sword weighing over 100 pounds with one hand like it was a toy. So, how was your conversation yesterday?"

"He agreed to trade with them even if they don't attack our city's caravans, but the prerequisite is to help them kill that flaming dragon. I'm not saying this is crazy. Not to mention whether I can beat it or not, where can I find one on such a large plain?"

"That's really hard for you, but it's still possible."

"You're just talking without any pain in your waist. I'm going to buy some dry food and a carriage to find Feilong. By the way, would you like to come with me, brave man? I will ensure your safety in my city."

"You are dreaming, go away!"

Moran answered before Lingyu could speak. He watched Brunson leave in disappointment before saying, "Is he crazy? He knows that you are not as strong as before, but he is a lunatic who still lets you go."

On the other side of the city, several high-ranking members of the Snake Clan were holding a meeting, and one of the elders asked a question to the clan leader.

"Will this plan really work? They are quite powerful."

"Don't worry, it's a giant dragon. Once we release it, all the lackeys of the Orc King will be dead. The Orc King will be isolated and helpless. The other tribes don't care who the Orc King is. They all hope for peace and equality. Once we take power, they will definitely surrender immediately."

"The chief is right. You have seen what has happened to the Frostwolves' territory. And with the Chaos Fruit that we worked so hard to obtain, I don't believe that the orc king and a weak human can fight the dragon alone."

Lingyu sat alone on the doorstep, watching several demon children playing in the courtyard. This was one of the few ways to pass the time before Moran came back.

"Let's go out to the commercial street and play. I'm almost suffocating here every day."

"But mom and the others won't allow it."

"Don't be afraid. This place is close to the commercial street. We'll be back soon. Let's go."

"Are those two kids trying to sneak out?" Lingyu noticed that the two kids were sneaking out while the guards were changing shifts.

I thought that since I was living and eating on someone else's floor, I still had to do something, so I just went out for a walk.

"Ms. Lingyu, are you going out?" Lunster saw Lingyu pick up the black cloak and smelled

"I'm a bit bored so I'd like to go out for a walk."

After going out, Lingyu looked at the backs of the two children and secretly followed them from a distance of more than ten meters.
