The Kingdom of Tatu.
The Royal City.
Situated in the most core region of the Kingdom of Tatu, it was perpetually shrouded in mist. Legend had it that the surrounding mist was a magical artifact.
Whether this was true or not, it was mere folk rumour and impossible to verify.
Without any adornment, Chen Yu swaggered up to the front of the Royal City's walls and let out an accidental gasp of surprise upon seeing it.
"A Sky-Suspended City."
This was the first time Chen Yu had ever seen a city floating in the air since arriving in the underground world. The entire city hovered hundreds of meters above the ground, enveloped by dense clouds and mist.
"The Kingdom of Tatu has quite the strength."
The little demoness wore a headscarf, her identity as part of the demon race making her rather special, always concealing her demon horns wherever she went.
"To have the city suspended in the air, it seems there's a Half-Saint of the space element within the city."
"Half-Saint?" Chen Yu raised his brow slightly. The little demoness smiled and nodded, "When a magician reaches the Color Realm, the next level above is Saint-level. Half-Saint is the stage between Saint-level and Nine-Colored. Look at the city in the sky, do you see those faint, obscure lights below?"
Chen Yu looked up as the little demoness spoke.
Just as she said, the floating city did indeed have several faint, obscure lights, resembling chains that linked the entire city to the ground.
It was hard to notice if one didn't look carefully.
"Those lines are spatial chains," the little demoness said softly. "It's a magic spell that space-element magicians cultivate. To anchor such a colossal city, one would need at least Half-Saint strength, and not just one person. So then..."
"You're planning to run?"
Chen Yu chuckled with a hint of helplessness.
Earlier, when he was trapped in the main city with Roni, the little demoness, wary of the strength of Nuo Yi and others from the Color Realm, had not shown herself but hid within Chen Yu's bracelet.
Now, the Kingdom of Tatu had experts at the Half-Saint level.
It was easy to imagine.
Unexpectedly, the little demoness acted out of character this time.
"What are you talking about? Why would I run?" the little demoness scoffed, crossing her arms, her eyes filled with disdain for Chen Yu. "Do you think I'm like you, running away at the slightest trouble?"
???
It was bold of the little demoness to say that.
She wasn't exactly new to the act of running away.
"Sister isn't just not running this time, she's even preparing to..." As she spoke, the little demoness directly removed the headscarf.
Her demon horns were exposed without concealment.
"De... Demon Race!!!"
Almost the moment the little demoness took off her headscarf, terrified cries erupted from the people beside Chen Yu.
In an instant, the surrounding citizens panicked and scattered in all directions.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Yu didn't mind the little demoness revealing her identity. He hadn't intended to hide it from the beginning. When he said, 'Hey, your daddy's here,' it wasn't a joke.
He was genuinely planning to do just that!
Chen Yu's current surprise was purely at the little demoness's uncharacteristic action.
"Heh, isn't it to coordinate with you?" The little demoness's red eyes swirled with radiant light. "You want to make a big scene, of course I have to accompany you. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to be a bully, right? But being a bully isn't as exciting as the appearance of the Demon Race."
If anyone else had said this, Chen Yu would have been deeply moved.
Accompanying him to his death.
Willing to expose her identity as part of the Demon Race to help Chen Yu escalate the situation.
However—
If this matter came from the little demoness's doing.
"Hmph, tell me the truth, you just want to play, don't you?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and hummed, as if his thoughts had been exposed, the little demoness smiled a little sheepishly. "Oh well, what's the difference? It's also dangerous for me to reveal my demon race identity. But, I really don't want to hide anymore."
The identity of the Demon Race was very sensitive.
To avoid causing trouble for Chen Yu or herself, the little demoness had always hidden her demon race identity.
It was fine on the outskirts of the underground world, where people couldn't tell she was from the Demon Race.
As Chen Yu's interactions became more elevated, her demon race identity grew increasingly sensitive, forcing her to cover her horns.
Now, she didn't want to hide.
Perhaps it was Chen Yu's bold display of the Tiger Tally, his fearlessness and decisiveness had also infected her.
She was of the Demon Race!
She wasn't pretending anymore!
"Demon, Demon!!!"
More and more shouts could be heard. Chen Yu and the few others stood still, not moving.
"Brother Chen Yu, Sister Ba..." Little Nuo Yi blinked her eyes, seeing the pointed demon horns on the little demoness's head, she showed no surprise.
She had noticed the little demoness was from the Demon Race back in River Town.
Although the relationship between River Town and the Demon Race was tense, since the little demoness was with Chen Yu, the situation was naturally different.
"Someone's coming towards us, and they look pretty angry."
Little Nuo Yi pointed into the distance. Chen Yu and the little demoness exchanged a smile.
"Good, we've been waiting for them."
"Oh ho."
Instantly, Little Nuo Yi noticed something unusual about the two of them.
Or rather, she sensed it.
She herself was someone who loved to stir up trouble. When there was something to do, she was far more sensitive than ordinary people.
If she wasn't mistaken, Chen Yu and the little demoness were definitely planning something.
"Count me in." Little Nuo Yi, without a second thought, wanted to join the conversation. "What are you guys planning? Is there anything I can do?"
Seeing Nuo Yi's expectant look, Chen Yu and the little demoness smiled.
"You're quite quick-witted at this moment." Chen Yu playfully tapped her little head. "Do you remember what I told you when we came out?"
"Rampage, do all sorts of evil!"
???
"Are you sure I said the latter part?" Chen Yu was silent for a long time. Little Nuo Yi said with a giggle, "It's possible I added that myself. Should I remove it?"
"You added it well!"
Chen Yu, however, playfully patted Little Nuo Yi's head.
"Our task entering the Royal City of the Kingdom of Tatu this time is very simple, it's exactly the eight characters you just said: Rampage, do all sorts of evil. Do you understand what to do now? With your intelligence, I believe this shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Got it."
Nuo Yi drawled, glancing sideways at the faces of the people running towards them with a mischievous smile.
"Are there any special restrictions?"
"Of course there are!" Chen Yu squinted with a smile and said, "The restriction for you is: no restrictions. Go all out, take it to the extreme!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Little Nuo Yi's eyes lit up like flowers, and she patted her chest with conviction.
"Brother Chen, just you watch."
