Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 695 - 694: I Entrust Mianmian to You

The Demon Emperor listened to Mianmian’s words and smiled tenderly, "Good, you are very filial. Even as a little baby, you are not afraid to come to a strange boundary, and you even dare to directly make requests to Us. We shall make you happy now."

As he spoke, the Demon Emperor turned to face a minister sitting below and said sternly, "Minister Pig, this task is your responsibility. We command you to quickly select suitable bodies for Our imperial son’s spouse and Anning Princess’s parents to let them be resurrected soon and reunited with their family."

The minister called Minister Pig was plump and white, his belly so bulging that his clothes could not conceal it.

Upon hearing the Demon Emperor’s order, he immediately stood up, bowed with hands folded, and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, your servant will do his utmost."

Below, Su Ji watched the Demon Emperor urge the minister to carry out the task for Mianmian and gave her a meaningful glance, then said, "Thank you, Grand Imperial Father, for your consideration."

Mianmian knew what Su Ji’s glance meant, as they had practiced this before. If Su Ji looked at her that way, she was supposed to say the same thing as Su Ji.

So, Mianmian also bowed her head and imitated Su Ji, "Thank you, Grand Imperial Father, for your consideration."

The Demon Emperor frowned slightly upon hearing Mianmian call him Grand Imperial Father, "You are a princess; you need not call Us Grand Imperial Father, just addressing Us as Your Majesty will do." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Hei Ling, standing behind Su Ji, raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard this.

The ministers below also showed surprised expressions, looking at each other, their eyes flashing with understanding.

All demons knew about the arrival of the Spiritual Child in the Demon Realm; it was no secret. They also knew that the Demon Emperor allowing Su Mianmian to sit beside him was to test whether the Spiritual Child’s ability to bring Spiritual Qi to those around her was genuine.

The Demon Clan thought of long-term benefits. If the Spiritual Child could truly absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and benefit those around her, then by pampering and pleasing her to keep her happy, the entire Demon Clan could benefit.

Under this premise, the Spiritual Child could do anything, except have freedom.

But now, the Demon Emperor’s refusal to acknowledge Su Mianmian calling him Grand Imperial Father like the young prince clearly indicated that he had other considerations. Perhaps, he was thinking of taking the Spiritual Child into the Harem...

According to legend, the Spiritual Child was always a magnet for misfortunes, and the usual outcome was being consumed by various races. If the Demon Clan raised the Spiritual Child well, and she was bound to grow up. Since this Spiritual Child was female, perhaps dual cultivation with her would yield even greater benefits.

A group of Demon Clan ministers admiringly praised the Demon Emperor once again.

Truly fit to be their Emperor, his considerations were all-encompassing.

They only thought about showing the Human Race a lesson, to let them know the might of the Demon Clan, yet they did not consider gaining more from the grown Spiritual Child.

Indeed, the Demon Emperor was more impressive!

With sudden inspiration, the ministers exclaimed, "The Demon Emperor is benevolent, we wish longevity to the Demon Emperor, to live as long as Heaven itself!"

One by one, they raised their glasses towards the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor smiled slightly and picked up his cup to accept the ministers’ compliments.

Mianmian curiously watched the adults raise their cups. She too picked up fruits in front of her, imitating their actions by pushing them forward and then eating them.

The Demon Emperor had said to hasten the search for suitable bodies for her parents. She was now very happy, her eyes shining brighter as she ate the fruits.

When the banquet ended, Mianmian wanted to go back with Su Ji to his house.

But she was directly stopped by the Demon Emperor, "Princess Anning, We have arranged a new Sleeping Palace for you. You will come with Us."

Mianmian and Su Ji were both taken aback by this development, looking up at the Demon Emperor with wide eyes.

Su Ji was the first to question, "Grand Imperial Father, can I not live with my friend? My sleeping palace has many rooms."

The Demon Emperor said, "My son, you and Princess Anning must avoid suspicion; you cannot live together from such a young age. Grand Imperial Father’s arrangement is the most suitable. This will also make it easier for Grand Imperial Father to protect your friend, otherwise... who knows if some unscrupulous thief might want to harm your friend?"

Su Ji was also aware of Mianmian’s attractiveness to demons; even he himself was afraid of some of the Demon Clan.

When he escaped through the dog hole of Bixia Temple and encountered Hei Ling, Hei Ling took him back to the Demon Realm and helped him assimilate the Demon Pill in his body. Then, a Snake Demon came and spoke in a mocking tone, suggesting he had engaged in cannibalism outside, having eaten a Demon Pill of their Snake Clan.

Had Hei Ling not become enraged and driven that Snake Demon away, Su Ji felt he might have been beaten up.

In short, some members of the Demon Clan were indeed terrifying. They might appear calm outwardly but could be continuously scheming in secret. Perhaps, perhaps having Mianmian stay with him was indeed not safe.

"Okay, Grand Imperial Father, I entrust Mianmian to you," Su Ji said as he pushed Mianmian towards the Demon Emperor and added, "Grand Imperial Father, may I often visit Mianmian?"

The Demon Emperor smiled and nodded, patting Su Ji’s head, "Child, although you are a red fox, your talents are high. Cultivate well, and in the future, you might bear the burden of uniting the six realms under the Demon Clan, something Grandfather may have to entrust to you."

Su Ji was taken aback, "But isn’t Daddy also there? Hei Ling said you sent him to find Daddy because you wanted to make Daddy the Crown Prince."

The smile at the corner of the Demon Emperor’s mouth tightened.

In recent years, he hadn’t had any offspring born, and only upon investigation did he discover that his eldest son had secretly acted, poisoning the concubines who might be carrying his child.

While doing this, the eldest prince had also managed to incapacitate his other brothers.

After the truth of these events came to light, the Demon Emperor grew wary of the eldest prince. For the sake of the throne, ready to harm his offspring, who knew when, having had enough of being prince, he might want to kill him too.

Such a rise to power was not uncommon among previous Demon Emperors.

No one would object, as despite the Demon Clan’s outward appearance, they still worshiped strength at heart.

If the eldest prince truly had the ability to kill him, the ministers would still support the eldest prince’s ascension to the throne.

The Demon Emperor feared such a future occurrence. He could willingly give up the throne, but his sons could not take it by force.

He executed his eldest son and then recalled having a child who disliked the life within the Demon Clan and had voluntarily gone into hiding among the Human Race. Although this child lacked ambition and capability, he was at least of pure white fox lineage.

Bringing him back to the Demon Clan would at least provide an heir to display, preventing some of his loyal subordinates from thinking he had no successor, causing them to entertain other thoughts.

Who knew that instead of retrieving the son he had hoped for, he ended up with a grandson and even acquired a Spiritual Child.

His own cultivation base, constrained by Heaven and Earth, could not progress, but with the Spiritual Child, everything was different. He would certainly become even more powerful and would not need any offspring at all.

As for the dead eldest son...

"Child, you should know, it is difficult for a resurrected demon to return to their original talents," the Demon Emperor sighed, "Even if your father is resurrected, he will be just an ordinary demon, unable to shoulder great responsibilities."

Su Ji didn’t quite understand the need to hide one’s thoughts in front of an emperor and frowned immediately.

If his father were resurrected, would he become weaker than before? How could that be a good life among the Demon Clan?
