Chen Yuanshuang was taken aback upon hearing, carefully scrutinizing the newcomer, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, “You you you, are you the Little Demon Sovereign? How could you…”“Hmph!”
The Little Demon Sovereign’s face stiffened, looking somewhat awkward, clearly not wanting to explain.
Who knows how much hardship he had to endure along the way.
He couldn’t tell if the heavens were deliberately making things difficult for him; nothing went smoothly, even drinking water almost got him discovered by demon soldiers multiple times. If it weren’t for the ample good items in his storage ring, healing pills, and various life-saving treasures, he’s not sure if he could have made it back.
But fortunately, he finally made it back.
As long as he returned to the Demonic Dynasty Base, all the hardships would be over.
Even though this time, Elder Gong and the three battalions of the Asura Legion were lost outside the domain, and the Chao Clan suffered heavy losses, he was, after all, the most outstanding heir of the Chao Clan. As long as he sincerely admitted his mistakes to the Old Ancestor and sought help from a few elders to plead on his behalf, considering his past decent performance, the Old Ancestor would most likely grant him a chance for redemption through a meritorious deed.
With such thoughts, Chao Qianjue couldn’t wait to return and immediately brushed past the Heavenly Human Realm soldiers, preparing to walk in.
“Stop!” Chen Yuanshuang sternly blocked him, speaking in an official manner, “Young Master Chao, even though I recognize you, I still must ask you to show your ‘Pass Order.’ It’s the rule! To prevent impersonation.”
Saying this, he waved his hand, and two city gate officers came out to the Little Demon Sovereign, requesting him to show the pass order.
“You! You all!!”
Seeing those two city gate officers, the Little Demon Sovereign’s temper immediately flared up, glaring angrily at Chen Yuanshuang, “Chen Yuanshuang, who gave you the courage to speak to me in such a manner?!”
This Chen Yuanshuang, who used to not dare to make a peep in front of him and would seize any chance to curry favor, even if he had to follow the rules to check the pass order, would do so respectfully and personally discuss it with him. When had he ever used this kind of attitude?
Not to mention, he only sent two city gate officers over, without budging himself; clearly, this attitude was meant to humiliate him!
“Of course, the ‘Base City Gate Management Regulations’ gave me the courage.” Chen Yuanshuang, seeing his attitude, smiled insincerely, with a somewhat sarcastic tone, continuing, “Young Master Chao~ you are a big person, so don’t make things difficult for a small guard like me.”
“You!”
The Little Demon Sovereign was furious, but remembering the piles of trouble he had to handle, thought it wasn’t worth it to blow up over such a small matter, he suppressed his emotions, took out the pass order and waved it, “Are you satisfied now?”
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanshuang didn’t let it slide so easily but rather took the pass order, carefully inspecting and verifying, and questioned Chao Qianjue before finally waving his hand, “It is indeed Chao Qianjue. Brothers, make way, let him in.”
The Little Demon Sovereign took back the pass order, coldly glaring at Chen Yuanshuang and the gate officers before walking into the city gate.
He remembered this slight.
However, before he had walked more than ten zhang, he heard Chen Yuanshuang lightly spit behind him, muttering, “Still thinks of himself as the Little Demon Sovereign, truly shameless.”
The others chimed in, “Can’t believe he still has the face to put on airs, so arrogant, if it were me, I’d have found a hole to hide in long ago, not daring to show face.”
“He comes from a noble lineage, can’t be compared with us.”
“So what about noble lineage? Enjoying so many resources for nothing, it’d be better invested in a dog~”
These remarks were like daggers stabbing into the Little Demon Sovereign’s heart, leaving him furious, yet unable to turn back and hit them, leaving him momentarily stuck.
And just at this moment.
Suddenly.
Their group’s chattering stopped.
After a few seconds, someone spoke, “The watchtower sent back news, an army is returning, judging by the banner, it seems to be His Highness the Third Prince’s Red Tiger Battle Group.”
“His Highness the Third Prince returning to the base? Wonderful!”
“Quick, go welcome them!”
“Brothers, I need to tidy up my appearance, how do I look?”
“It’s not like you’re going for a marriage proposal, why care about your appearance?”
“It’s different; whether the proposal succeeds doesn’t matter, but making a good impression on His Highness the Third Prince might just lead to a meteoric rise.”
The gatekeepers, as if invigorated, were bustling with excitement, their attitude a stark contrast to when they faced the Little Demon Sovereign moments ago.
Amidst the lively discussions, a mighty army appeared in the distance within their sight.
Banners waved, dust rolling.
The thunderous sound of hooves echoed far away, carrying a palpable formidable momentum despite the distance.
Clearly, that was the Third Prince’s army.
“Open the city gate, form ranks for welcome.” Chen Yuanshuang ordered, “Send up a signal flare, notify the superiors!”
Boom, boom, boom!
Firework flares exploded in mid-air.
With the Third Prince’s return, the entire Demonic Base No.2 became extraordinarily lively; many defending soldiers gathered to welcome the Third Prince’s return.
The Little Demon Sovereign, Chao Qianjue, was dumbfounded.
What on earth was happening?
He, Chao Qianjue, having suffered a major defeat, fled the battlefield and was met with disdain and eye rolls, which he could understand. But what was Shen Tu Jingming to him? Didn’t he just go assist the East Line Defense Zone? Was it worth such a fanfare and grand reception?
