Danzun War God

Chapter 198 The King's Tenderness

Seeing that Han Qi had successfully broken the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, the Demon King became even more curious about Han Qi. The previous shock to her was already great enough, but this still made her look at Han Qi with new respect.

Han Qi broke through the formation of nearly a hundred people. The people in the Holy Palace looked at Han Qi's nonchalant manner and knew that his cultivation level was extraordinary. If the Demon King hadn't realized that Han Qi's cultivation level was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, she would have thought that Han Qi had already entered the Mahayana Realm.

However, breaking the formation is the same as setting it up, both of which consume a lot of a person's spiritual power. Because Han Qi was worried that the Venerable Lord had come looking for him and wanted to conserve his strength, he said, "Let's call it a day, it's too exhausting!"

Han Qi then put the cage that couldn't be rescued back into his Sumeru bag. By this time, the Demon King had already arranged for the rescued women to be placed in the Holy Palace. Above the Holy Palace were two more halls: one was the Spirit Beast Hall of the Yellow Dragon, and the other was the Demon Clan Hall of the Fire Phoenix. The Yellow Dragon was placed in the Spirit Beast Hall.

Han Qi and his entourage were treated as VIPs and housed in the Holy Palace by the Demon King. Han Qi also handed over eight hundred high-level demonic beasts to the Demon King. The Hundred Beast Valley was placed in a valley behind the Holy Palace. When the Demon King saw these eighth and ninth-tier demonic beasts, he was overjoyed, completely losing his aloofness from the main hall. He beamed with delight, gazing at Han Qi with deep affection, but speaking firmly:

"Han Qi, you are truly a benefactor to our demon realm. I believe that under my guidance, these high-level demon beasts will soon be able to transform into human form and become the backbone of our demon realm's growth."

Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. Our two realms should have been helping each other."

The Demon King pondered for a moment and said, "Han Qi, you can call me Yue Ling'er when no one is around."

Han Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this, knowing that the beauty had extended an olive branch to him. He then said, "Okay, Ling'er, I'll remember. The Demon Realm still needs the Tree of Life to recover. I hope the Tree of Life can recover soon."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling'er looked at Han Qi helplessly and said, "You're right, this is indeed the difficulty of our demon realm. However, I recently sensed the aura of the Demon Ancestor, and it seems that the Demon Ancestor is about to appear. As long as the Demon Ancestor returns, I believe she will be able to restore the Tree of Life."

Han Qi nodded and said, "Actually, the aura of the Demon Ancestor was not emitted by the Demon Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling'er's expression changed, filled with disappointment and frustration. She asked, "If it wasn't the Demon Ancestor, then who sent it?"

Han Qi gently patted Yue Ling'er's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. Although this aura wasn't emitted by the Demon Ancestor, she has inherited the Demon Ancestor's bloodline. I've confirmed it; she's very confident in restoring the Tree of Life. Besides, I won't stand idly by; I will definitely help the Demon Realm restore the Tree of Life."

If Han Qi had said these words when they first met, Yue Ling'er would have thought he was crazy and kicked him out. But after getting to know him for a day, she completely believed what Han Qi said. For many years, Yue Ling'er had endured it all alone. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a strong woman and a queen.

But even such a strong person has her vulnerable moments. Especially after experiencing so much hardship, she suddenly found a shoulder to lean on and realized how tired she was. So she gently leaned her body against Han Qi.

She said tenderly, "I believe you!"

Faced with this sudden stroke of good fortune, Han Qi remained calm. Only when the demon realm became powerful could it work with the human realm to counterbalance the demon and underworld realms, but this path would inevitably be arduous. Seeing that the woman in his arms could do so much, he was sure he could too. For a moment, Han Qi was filled with ambition and couldn't help but put his arm around Yue Ling'er's waist. Yue Ling'er only trembled slightly and did not object, but Han Qi did not push his luck.

When Han Qi returned to his residence in the Holy Palace, it was already very late. Just as he entered the room, a figure flashed in as well. This person was Tang Siyu. Lin Yuyao, who had been watching Han Qi's door from the shadows, sighed. Although she wanted to rush in like Tang Siyu, she ultimately had the desire but not the courage.

As soon as Tang Siyu came in, she deliberately put on a stern face and said to Han Qi, "What were you doing with that demon king so late? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

Han Qi pulled her into his arms, and a sweet fragrance wafted over, making him even more aroused and his blood boil. His hands began to roam freely over Tang Siyu's body, and he said, "Don't worry, little girl, we haven't done anything wrong. Why don't you check?"

Tang Siyu felt weak all over as Han Qi touched her all over, but she refused to admit defeat: "Let's check it out then, who's afraid of who?"

But with Tang Siyu's exclamation, a pair of large hands reached directly into her clothes, and her body's defenses collapsed. Soon after, an indescribable sound filled the room.

The next day, the weather was fine. Early in the morning, Han Qi and Tang Siyu walked out of the room hand in hand. Tang Siyu was radiant and glowing, like a flower nourished by rain. The two walked hand in hand, just as Xie Wanying, who had come to thank Han Qi, saw them.

Tang Siyu quickly tried to pull her hand back, but Han Qi gripped it even tighter, so she had no choice but to give up. Seeing the two of them, Xie Wanying tensed up and blurted out, "Young Master Han, did you just get up?"

After saying that, he realized that his question was inappropriate, and quickly said, "No, I... I came here specifically to thank Young Master Han for saving my life. If it's inconvenient for me... I'll come back later."

After speaking, her cheeks flushed. She was tall and curvaceous, and her beauty was no less than that of Tang Siyu beside Han Qi. When her eyes met Han Qi's, she quickly lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, appearing very obedient. At this moment, due to shyness, her cheeks were flushed, which added to her charm. Han Qi couldn't help but take a few more glances, but the little girl beside him suddenly tightened her grip on his hand, as if warning him.

Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xie, you're too kind. I was busy late last night and got up late." (Han Qi was referring to this because she had been home late the previous night.)

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Tang Siyu couldn't help but think of the embarrassing things that happened between the two of them last night, and her face flushed red. She then pinched Han Qi hard on the back.

Han Qi winced in pain, then quickly covered it up by saying, "Cough cough! Miss Xie, you're too kind. This is all I should do."

Xie Wanying looked intently at Han Qi and said, "I heard from my father that you took a great risk to save us, almost losing your life. We father and daughter have no way to repay you. After careful consideration, the only thing I can do is..."

Seeing Xie Wanying's rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, Han Qi wondered if she was going to offer herself to him or something. He quickly interrupted Xie Wanying, "Miss Xie, Elder Xie is too kind. It's not dangerous at all. Please don't take it to heart."
