Even hybrid monsters have their day

"I've come...to see...the...Left...Guardian..."

"Left Protector? Haha..." Several lesser demons laughed. "Who is the Left Protector to you?"

"The Left Protector... is the Left Protector, not some... person."

"The Left Protector... is the Left... Protector, not... anyone." A little demon imitated Geng Miaowan's words in a very convincing way, which made the demons around him burst into laughter again.

Geng Miaowan's face showed a mixture of embarrassment and anxiety, but her eyes were devoid of warmth as she looked at them. These little demons had a rather low threshold for laughter.

At this moment, another little demon stepped forward, lifted Geng Miaowan's chin with his hand, looked at her with a lewd expression, and said with ill intent, "You, a half-blooded good-for-nothing, are so concerned about that demon. You wouldn't happen to be mixed with that demon's blood, would you?"

Geng Miaowan had never seen her mother since birth. She was brought to Gongye Hong by Zuo Lengdan, and Gongye Hong kept her only after sensing that she was indeed of his bloodline. As a result, Zuo Lengdan stayed by Gongye Hong's side and became his Left Protector.

She understood that the attitude of these little demons was not only due to her own reasons, but also related to Zuo Lengdan's identity.

Zuo Lengdan, despite her imposing name, is actually a female demon who ascended to the demon realm after undergoing tribulation in the human realm. However, apart from Gongye Hong, no one knows her true form.

The original demons and the demons who ascended to the demon realm are the two major forces in the demon realm. The original demons have an absolute advantage in numbers, but most of them are just ordinary demons, with only a small number of those with good aptitude able to cultivate into true masters. On the other hand, although the demons who ascended to the demon realm are not numerous, they are already at the level of demon kings when they ascend, and they can easily crush a large number of original demons wherever they are placed.

So even if they don't get along, no demon would bother to cause them trouble.

There aren't many demons who ascend to the next realm and are willing to remain under the Demon Emperor's command, like Zuo Lengdan.

Before the little demon could even mock Geng Miaowan after she finished speaking, she was suddenly sent flying, crashing heavily into a wall in the distance, leaving a deep mark.

The little demons guarding the gate were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They stared blankly at Qiu Pi, who had appeared in front of the prison at some point. "Commander Qiu."

Geng Miaowan was quite surprised by Qiu Pi's help.

Qiu Pi is a primordial demon, a standout among the younger generation of the four major primordial demon families in the demon realm. He possesses exceptional physical talent and has already achieved a high level of cultivation at a young age. Furthermore, he has become a commander under Gongye Hong, a position so young that it's impossible to find another commander like him in the entire demon realm.

To be fair, Qiu Pi was indeed handsome. He had long, willow-like eyebrows, a jade-like figure, and icy blue eyes that were both affectionate and aloof. His long, satin-like hair cascaded over his shoulders, making him utterly captivating. A man with such features didn't seem out of place at all; on the contrary, he possessed a captivating charm that drew the eye.

In her memory, Geng Miaowan had a crush on Qiu Pi for many years, but Qiu Pi always felt it was a waste to even glance at her. She never expected him to help her today, which immediately elevated his image in her heart. She felt that she must have misunderstood him before.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Qiu Pi pointed at her and said coldly, "You can insult this piece of trash, but if I hear any of you insulting the Left Protector again, the consequences won't be as simple as being thrown out."

In the demon realm, it is a world where strength reigns supreme. The stronger one is, the more one understands the difficulty of becoming strong, and the more respect one holds for those who are strong. This is especially true for demons who ascend to this realm. Unlike native demons who are born with consciousness and can cultivate on their own, they often have to undergo hundreds or even thousands of years of evolution to develop their own consciousness before they can cultivate. This is an extremely difficult process for ordinary creatures.

This is also one of the main reasons why Qiu Pi greatly respects Zuo Lengdan.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without looking back, not even glancing at Geng Miaowan once. Geng Miaowan felt as if hundreds of thousands of grass mud horses were galloping through her heart. This was simply the worst of the worst among demons, a waste of a beautiful appearance.

After Qiu Pi left, the little demons dared not make fun of her anymore, and Geng Miaowan was able to enter the prison smoothly.

"Fourth Princess, what brings you here?" Zuo Lengdan was quite surprised to see Geng Miaowan. In her memory, Geng Miaowan was not the kind of person who would do such a thing. She had been punished countless times because of her, but she had never had the thought of visiting her.

"Left... Protector... I've come to see... you..."

Zuo Lengdan was extremely beautiful, a beauty that Geng Miaowan could not describe in words. Although she was a demon, she did not have the coquettishness of ordinary demons. Instead, she was as gentle and bright as the moon in the sky, making it hard to look away.

Although she was imprisoned, she was clean and showed no signs of abuse, which reassured Geng Miaowan. She figured that given her status, even the demons in the prison wouldn't dare harm her.

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Princess. Please leave now; this is not a place for you." Zuo Lengdan looked at Geng Miaowan with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, a tenderness she never showed when she was with others.

Geng Miaowan knew that although Gongye Hong often punished Zuo Lengdan because of her, he never really meant it. He still valued Zuo Lengdan highly. Among demons of the same level, those who ascended to the demon realm were much stronger than those in their original state. In the demon realm, there weren't many strong individuals like Zuo Lengdan who were willing to serve under him.

She looked around and, finding no one paying attention to them, lowered her voice and said, "Left Protector, I've come to say goodbye."

She had considered it. If she stayed in the demon realm for too long, others might notice that she had changed. Besides, she was originally human, and what she longed for was still human life. She felt genuinely uncomfortable with demon life. Since she was going to be tricked into going to the human realm anyway, she might as well find a way to sneak away herself, find a quiet place in the human realm, and live her own happy life.

Zuo Lengdan's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing her words, "Fourth Princess, you..."

Geng Miaowan smiled mischievously, put her index finger to her lips, and gently shushed me. "After you rescued me from the Dark Forest, I wasn't stupid when I woke up."

She brushed it off in a lighthearted tone, as if it were something like reincarnation or rebirth, so it was automatically ignored.

When Zuo Lengdan heard her say that, her eyes lit up, and she hugged her excitedly, "That's great, that's great, I've finally waited for this day."
