"Hey, is the Demon Lord in the Qingqiu Secret Realm right now?"
Xiao Hei suddenly interrupted Bai Guangda.
"How did you guess that, kid?"
Bai Guangda stared at Xiao Hei incredulously, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
But the killing intent vanished as quickly as it appeared, and he said casually, "Forget it, if you know, you know. You'll find out sooner or later anyway."
From this reaction, it was clear that Bai Guangda had completely trusted Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei looked innocent, thinking, *You're practically telling me everything, how could I not guess? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?*
He could only keep these thoughts to himself and urged, "Ferry King Bai, please continue telling this brother about the history of the demon race. What happened after the demon race hid in the Qingqiu Secret Realm? And how did the Demon King's bloodline get out?"
"Hmm, listen carefully. After the great battle, there weren't many remnants of the demon race left. Most of them hid in the Qingqiu Secret Realm."
Bai Guangda pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "But the Demon King at that time did not."
"Oh? Where did the Demon King go?"
Xiao Hei asked curiously.
"The Demon King, she..."
Bai Guangda seemed to find it difficult to speak, "She got involved with a human..."
As he said this, Bai Guangda's emotions were very complex.
Indignation, confusion, bewilderment, and even a touch of helplessness.
It felt like a national goddess marrying a pig.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao, sitting in the back, had a guess.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Demon King at that time was with Ye Xiaoyao of the逍遥谷 (Xiaoyao Valley).
A human martial artist and a demon race's Demon King fell in love and even had the crystallization of their love... which was this little Hongchan.
Although Xiao Hongchan looked very young, demon races had long lifespans, so she was at least a few hundred years old.
That was why Old Tie had told Chen Xiao before that 逍遥谷 (Xiaoyao Valley) had a great connection with demon cultivators... it turned out to be this kind of relationship.
Bai Guangda didn't go into detail about how the Demon King got involved with a human.
Because in his opinion, it was a matter that brought shame to the demon race, something difficult to speak of.
This showed that he had completely accepted Xiao Hei as one of their own.
If Xiao Hei hadn't been considered one of their own, he wouldn't have told him.
It was a pity that the Demon Lord's painstaking efforts to guard against Xiao Hei had been undone. Bai Guangda and Xiao Hei had only known each other for a few minutes before he revealed all of the demon race's secrets.
As for Xiao Hongchan, she must be a descendant of that Demon King from five hundred years ago.
This was because the red panda clan had always been a single lineage, and only the Demon King's branch.
"No wonder the Demon Lord was so eager to bring the little demon girl, no, the little Demon King, back. It seems he wants to establish the little Demon King as the new ruler!"
Xiao Hei exclaimed.
"Are you stupid?"
Bai Guangda looked at Xiao Hei with the expression of someone looking at an idiot. "The Demon Lord is currently leading all the demons and doing a good job. Why would he want to establish someone else as his superior? Don't you have a brain?"
"Then why did the Demon Lord bring this little Demon King back?"
Xiao Hei looked bewildered, and this was the question he truly wanted to ask.
The previous question was just a deliberate attempt to elicit information from Bai Guangda.
"That's because..."
Halfway through his sentence, Bai Guangda suddenly stopped. He stared at Xiao Hei with suspicion and said menacingly, "Kid, are you trying to trick me into talking?"
*Damn, this big傻瓜 (shǎguā - fool) finally realized!*
Xiao Hei gave a sheepish smile and said with extreme flattery, "Ferry King Bai, what are you talking about? I was just asking casually. We're all on the same side. If you don't want to say it, that's fine... And with your wisdom and might, how could I possibly trick you into talking?"
"That's true!"
Bai Guangda nodded seriously, but he clearly didn't want to continue the previous topic.
Slouching in the spacious seat, he said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to take a nap. You drive to the nearest airport and wake me up when we get there."
"Alright, Ferry King Bai."
Xiao Hei replied.
"Snore..."
Bai Guangda didn't reply because he had already fallen asleep, his snores shaking the heavens.
Indeed, carefree people always slept soundly.
After confirming that Bai Guangda was truly asleep, Xiao Hei took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Xiao.
"Father, are you in the car?"
To be safe, Chen Xiao didn't reveal himself. He tapped Xiao Hei's head with his finger, and Xiao Hei immediately understood.
Since his father was present, he drove with peace of mind, heading straight for the airport.
By the time the car entered the city, it was already broad daylight.
This was a small border town, with quiet streets and few pedestrians, but it did have an airport.
Bai Guangda bought three plane tickets, flying directly to Nanjiang.
Xiao Hongchan was still asleep, which saved a lot of trouble.
Six hours later, the plane landed at the airport in Huadu, Nanjiang.
As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, the warmth hit them.
Coming from the icy, snowy Northern Territory to the perpetually springlike Nanjiang felt like more than just moving from one place to another.
It was like stepping into another world.
The demon race had considerable influence in this region. After leaving the airport, Bai Guangda made a phone call. Within five minutes, someone arrived in a luxury car.
This person was clearly a human. After respectfully greeting Bai Guangda, he handed over the car keys and left by taxi.
Bai Guangda tossed the car keys to Xiao Hei and commanded, "Get in the car, you drive!"
Lackeys were meant for such tasks. Bai Guangda finally had his own subordinate.
Little did he know, this subordinate was only temporary.
"Ferry King Bai, where exactly is the Qingqiu Secret Realm? You can tell me now, can't you?"
Xiao Hei asked, holding the steering wheel and reversing the car.
"Drive carefully, we're going to Linjiang now."
Bai Guangda crossed his arms, leaned back against the seat, and closed his eyes, ordering his subordinate around.
"Alright, Ferry King Bai! You rest for a while, and I'll wake you when we reach Linjiang."
"Mmm..."
Bai Guangda nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with Xiao Hei's performance.
Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Hei's smiling face hid a torrent of curses.
*If it weren't for saving my mother, I wouldn't be serving this idiot!*
Linjiang was only about two hundred kilometers from Huadu. Xiao Hei drove onto the highway, and after a little over an hour, they reached the borders of Linjiang.
"Ferry King Bai, we've arrived in Linjiang. Where do we go now?"
After exiting the highway, Xiao Hei woke Bai Guangda.
Bai Guangda rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"I'm a bit hungry. Let's find a place to eat."
Bai Guangda and Xiao Hei were eating happily, but Chen Xiao, standing by the side, was suffering.
It was truly a case of "you sit and I stand, you eat and I watch."
Halfway through the meal, Bai Guangda received a phone call.
After only a few words, the big fellow's expression suddenly changed...
