“…Indeed, my lord,” the golden mystical dog lowered its head.

“That person also entered this place, right?” the young man in purple stroked its neck.

“You were driven here for him to use you as a pathfinder, to observe if there are dangers in this secret realm?”

“My lord’s insight is like a torch, ” the Ancestor of the Blood Sea replied gravely.

However, inside, he sneered. What prince, he was still but a junior.

He had thrown out a bait in his words, and the other party had believed it.

“Now that you have become my beast pet, Gu Yuan, you are not someone anyone can just bully,” the man named Gu Yuan said with a cold laugh, arrogant and domineering.

“If that person doesn’t come looking for you, so be it. But if he dares… Hmph, I’ll let him know that even beating a dog requires looking at its owner.”

In the secret realm of the Demon Emperor City.

Among the ruins of a vast area.

“Daoist Gu, can you act a bit more normal?” Yan Feiyu pushed a petite woman away from herself, holding a fan.

“Sister Yan, let me hug you,” the petite woman with twin ponytails giggled, clinging to her arm, unwilling to let go.

Yan Feiyu reasoned with her: “We’re not suitable for each other, right?”

This girl, named Gu Li, became Yan Feiyu’s “friend” after entering the secret realm.

Gu Li bore no malice towards her…

Except for always wanting to cling to her.

To keep this twin-tailed girl at bay, Yan Feiyu directly told her that she already had someone she liked.

“Daoist Gu, when did you ever resemble a man?” Gu Li stepped back half a step, looking Yan Feiyu up and down, feigning surprise.

Healthy wheat-colored skin, tall stature, soft muscle lines, and particularly ample body curves.

“…At least I used to be,” Yan Feiyu was at a loss for words for a moment, looking down without seeing her toes.

In fact, even when she was a man, she didn’t like girls like Gu Li who were too boisterous.

Yan Feiyu preferred the quiet, polite type, ideally someone like Yi Changqing, who was gentle and tranquil.

Thinking about this, Yan Feiyu was startled.

Had she harbored such thoughts deep inside even before her transformation?

Gu Li sighed at her words.

“Why must you be like this, Sister Yan? That bad man abandoned you, preferring to become a monk rather than…”

“Don’t speak ill of him, ” Yan Feiyu interrupted her, her expression cooling.

“That whole matter was my fault from beginning to end. What does Changqing have to do with it? Even if he had cut me down with a sword, it would have been my own doing.”

Seeing Yan Feiyu getting genuinely angry, Gu Li quickly covered her mouth. “Alright, alright, I spoke out of turn… I won’t mention it anymore.”

Yang Kuo and Hu Fang, standing behind them, watched the scene and dared not speak.

They had heard that when Yan Feiyu was a man, she often traveled with Yi Changqing, sharing the same bed.

Now as a woman, she was attracted to another woman.

It could be said… She had no gender preference.

Yan Feiyu’s expression softened slightly, her chest heaving a few times before she spoke, “Gu Li, besides you, how many other ‘Imperial Children’ have entered this secret realm?”

Ancient texts recorded that before the ancient Demon Emperor passed away, he used great magical power to seal the Imperial City in a special secret realm.

Inside that city lay his entire life’s inheritance, a massive amount of cultivation resources… and a Demon Emperor’s celestial weapon.

Whoever obtained this weapon could immediately raise the banner of the Demon Emperor, establish a demon nation, and become a great power.

According to the texts, this celestial weapon was left for an “Imperial Child.”

However, after meeting Gu Li, Yan Feiyu learned that the so-called “Imperial Child” was not just one person.

The Demon Emperor had left behind nine secret realms, each sealing one of his offspring.

Upon awakening, they would travel to other realms and engage in deadly battles with their siblings.

The one who survived would become the true “Imperial Child.”

After interacting with Gu Li, Yan Feiyu realized she had become involved in a struggle for inheritance among nine dragons. She regarded this method of raising children as “barbaric.”

Gu Li spread her hands, indicating helplessness.

After all, these competition rules were set by a father who had been dead for countless years.

The Demon Emperor seemed to have a fixation; his successor had to be stronger than him.

Thus, raising his children was like refining a magical artifact, employing every possible method.

Each of the nine offspring had a special bloodline imprint, allowing them to sense each other’s presence.

This imprint could not be erased or concealed.

“The Ninth Prince’s secret realm is the most special among all and is also where the Imperial City is sealed,” Gu Li counted on her fingers.

“By now, all the surviving princes and princesses should have entered, besides me. There’s the eldest prince, the seventh princess… and the ninth prince.”

Gu Li was the fifth princess and one of the four final candidates for the title of Imperial Child.

“Among these people, is the strongest your elder brother?” Yan Feiyu asked. Gu Li nodded.

“My elder brother, Gu Yuan, alone eliminated three competitors… but I think the truly fearsome one is my youngest brother, the ninth prince.”

“What’s the reason?” Yan Feiyu inquired.

“We were sealed in a special formation, put into a deep sleep to survive all these years,” Gu Li pondered for a moment.

“In fact, I woke up three years ago. The eldest prince, the second prince, and others woke up even earlier. Since then, there have been countless probes and battles. We are all very familiar with each other’s methods and strengths..”
