Even hybrid monsters have their day
Chapter 176 Rescue
Suddenly, Huangfu Aoran shouted, "Oh no, it's a demon god! Run!"
None of the three expected that the newcomer would be a demon god. Huangfu Aoran told them to run away without hesitation. If he were in his prime, he wouldn't care about one demon god, or even several.
But things are different now. Although he had restored some of his cultivation with the help of the Hell Worm last time, it wasn't much; at best, he was only slightly better than Xu Ruwen. Even so, he was still no match for the Demon God.
However, it was clearly too late to run away at that point.
In the darkness, a figure moved quickly toward them. Perhaps not expecting anyone else there, the figure visibly paused when Geng Miaowan and the other two came into view. Then, the figure turned and ran to the side.
The man was staggering, clutching his chest; he was clearly injured.
The terrifying aura that the three of them felt followed closely behind, chasing after the figure without even glancing at them.
Only after confirming that the man with the powerful aura had chased after that person did Geng Miaowan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I was just passing by." She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
She was just about to turn around and sit down, trying to calm her heart, when a sharp voice came from the other end, "Zuo Lengdan, let's see where you run to today!" The voice was full of murderous intent.
Left cold single...
The three words, "absolutely familiar," made Geng Miaowan jump up again before her bottom even touched the ground. Thinking about it, the murderous voice did sound somewhat familiar.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ruwen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I have to save her!" Thinking that most of the few moments of warmth she had in the demon realm were given by that female demon named Zuo Lengdan, she ran away without looking back.
Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Ao exchanged a glance, then reluctantly followed. They were practically begging to get beaten up...
Geng Miaowan caught up with them deep in the woods after running for a short while.
A tall man stood with his back to her in front of Zuo Lengdan, one hand tightly gripping her collar, the other raised high, in his palm a magic orb of alternating red, yellow, and blue colors rolling about, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.
He said coldly, "Hand over the stuff obediently, or today will be your death day."
"You're dreaming! I'd rather die than hand it over to you!" Zuo Lengdan struggled. When her eyes passed over the man's shoulder and landed on Geng Miaowan, a glint of fire flashed in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed, and she shook her head at her.
However, Geng Miaowan didn't care about anything else and shouted at the man, "Stop!" At the same time, she unleashed a Flowing Wind Slash at the man's raised hand.
The man stopped what he was doing as she wished, and with a simple flick of his wrist, her Flowing Wind Slash vanished. He turned to look at the person who had foolishly interrupted him, but when he saw Geng Miaowan, he froze in shock.
That one move was enough. Suddenly, two figures flashed out from beside her, rushing towards the man with lightning speed. In the instant he was stunned, Xu Ruwen made a move against him, catching him off guard and forcing him to look up to defend. Huangfu Aoran grabbed Zuo Lengdan and pulled her to his side.
He pulled Zuo Lengdan back, while Xu Ruwen, after unleashing that move, had already retreated to Geng Miaowan's side.
"It's you?" The man didn't react much to the fact that Zuo Lengdan had been rescued; his gaze remained fixed on Geng Miaowan. "You're still alive."
The man's words, which were neither clear as joy nor disappointment, stirred a strange emotion within Geng Miaowan. She looked directly at him, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I am still alive. Father."
She didn't mean anything by it, but she emphasized the words "father emperor" very heavily.
These two words were like a thunderbolt, striking Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoran directly on the head, leaving them scorched and battered.
Not only were they father and daughter, but they were also royalty… Both of them exclaimed that this world was so surreal. Geng Miaowan was actually a princess?! What happened to her supposed refined manners and elegant upbringing?
They glanced at the man she called Father Emperor; he looked to be around forty or fifty years old, though they knew he was definitely older than that.
His massive physique was comparable to Huangfu Aoran's, yet he didn't appear robust. His features weren't typically handsome like those of other demons, but rather possessed an indescribable air of majesty. Unlike Huangfu Aoran's imposing presence without anger, his majesty stemmed from the domineering aura of someone who had long held a high position, a domineering presence that surpassed all others.
They glanced at Geng Miaowan again, feeling that the two of them were completely unrelated, making it impossible to associate them with the word "father" or "daughter." They couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of creation, how it could make a father and daughter look so unrelated.
"Left Protector, are you alright?" She spoke to Zuo Lengdan, but her eyes never left Gongye Hong in front of her, as if afraid that he would throw a spell at her at any moment.
"I'm fine, Third Princess, what brings you here?" Zuo Lengdan looked at Geng Miaowan with complete surprise in her eyes. Not only because of her arrival, but also because she had actually succeeded in cultivating magic as she had hoped.
"We'll talk about that later." As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoran.
She sensed that they both relaxed noticeably after she called him "Father Emperor," and she spoke in her mind to remind them, "Be vigilant. If things go wrong, take Zuo Lengdan and leave immediately. I am, after all, his daughter; I will be fine."
The two men exchanged another glance. What deep-seated hatred must there be for a daughter to be so wary of her father? Despite their thoughts, they both became cautious again.
"So you still remember I'm your father? You've grown quite a bit these past few years, haven't you? Not only have you learned magic, but you even dare to lay a hand on your father, the Emperor?" Gongye Hong was astonished that Geng Miaowan could use magic. She hadn't even been able to speak a complete sentence in the demon realm for over a hundred years, yet after leaving for more than thirty years, she had actually mastered magic.
The changes were so dramatic that he would never have believed them if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.
"If you still consider me your father, then obediently hand over Zuo Lengdan to me. I might even overlook what just happened because you are my daughter."
"What a great favor." Luan Hao snorted coldly and stood up in Geng Miaowan's sea of consciousness. His expression remained calm, but the sharp glint in his light purple eyes was chilling. "Gongye Hong." (To be continued.)
