The divine power that came from above the clouds made countless Demon race members prostrate themselves on the ground. Its ripples made the Priest Temple that had endured countless years of hardship rumble with noise, as if the entire place was about to come crashing down.
But this dangerous environment wasn't what the people inside were worried about at all. Instead, the Monster Lord’s words continued to echo in their minds.
The one he's fighting isn’t the Lord of Slaughter? Then who is it?
After all, the Monster Lord had once been the Lord of Slaughter’s subordinate. He had long been scheming to seize the throne. His research into the Lord of Slaughter was more thorough than anyone else’s. Now that they were going all out against each other, they naturally wouldn’t hold anything back, making it easy to detect any abnormalities.
Salamay’s eyes lit up.
So that bastard wasn’t my father!
I knew father definitely wouldn’t treat me like that!
But her smile quickly froze as soon as it formed..
But if he isn’t my father, where is my real father?
She didn’t even dare to continue that train of thought.
Just then, ‘Zu An’ suddenly moved over to the women and helped them undo their restrictions.
However, when 'he' moved up to Pei Mianman, she raised her hand and said, “There’s no need for that!” Earlier, the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ naturally hadn’t really attacked her. Rather, he'd used an ingenious deception. Thus, Pei Mianman's restrictions had already undone themselves after some time.
The other women reflexively moved closer to 'Zu An' and stared at 'him' vigilantly.
Pei Mianman couldn't help but smile, saying, “It’s fine, they’re one of us.” She hadn’t expected that Jing Teng, who never seemed to let anyone get close to her, would actually put on such a realistic appearance.
Jing Teng also gave her a look.
This woman’s temper is just as great as her chest. But between her and that other woman who did that Kiss of the Goddess thing, which one is the main wife?
That scene from the past was just too shocking. It had left Jing Teng with an unforgettable memory.
“Big sis, what kind of nonsense are you saying? The main wives are obviously us sisters! The other women can only call us big sisters. After all, in terms of seniority, who can match up to the two of us? We naturally ought to be the main wives!” Dark Jing Teng continued to shout in their head.
“I've heard that men all consider the ideal age 18,” White Jing Teng replied coldly.
“Aren’t we 18? Isn’t 18 centuries still 18?” Dark Jing Teng replied angrily.
White Jing Teng was speechless.
…
Salamay finally reacted. She turned to ‘Zu An’ and said, “Donaire, no, I shouldn’t call you Donaire. Who was that imposter?”
After all, Donaire had been the one to find the snowy mountain that imprisoned her father, and he'd been the one to undo the seal. How could he not know the truth?! Besides, he was even an imposter himself!
When Salamay thought about how she'd been fooled by this guy and had even revealed all of her father’s plans, she felt as if she'd been thrown into a frozen cellar. She felt ice-cold from head to toe.
“I’ve been getting tired of this mask.” Harrumphing, Jing Teng transformed with a single shake and recovered her original appearance.
When they saw the handsome young master turn into a graceful and elegant beauty, the monsters were all a bit stunned. Even though they were from different species, they had to admit that this woman was beautiful. The special way she carried herself was also extremely enchanting. On top of that, which one of those Demon race saintesses wasn’t an incredible beauty? They really wondered just how all of these outstanding women had ended up together.
Even Salamay, who was quite proud of her own appearance, had to admit that she didn’t have any right to be conceited before these women. But she quickly snapped out of her daze.
Hmph, no matter how beautiful these women are, they're merely tools, nothing more than toys for the strong to play with. How can they compare to someone like me who decides my own fate?
When hey saw that Donaire had actually been impersonated by a woman, the True Demon great elder couldn't hold back his wailing. “Donaire really has died, he’s really dead…” He'd still carried a sliver of hope when he first heard what the Monster Lord said. But now, that last hope had also been shattered.
Pei Mianman and the others didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy when they saw him sob. They fully understood just how nasty a person Donaire had been. The only thing they were worried about right now was Zu An’s battle.
“Little aunt, will he be in danger?” Ji Xiaoxi asked; she was the first to lose her composure. Her voice trembled a bit.
After all, the Monster Lord was the opponent! Xiaoxi had seen just how strong the Monster Lord was in the Monster World, and how all the powerful beings of that world felt a fear toward him that stemmed from their innermost being. She still felt lingering fear even now.
Jiang Luofu looked up toward the sky as well. She was also incredibly worried.
“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t dare to promise you anything in the Monster World, but in our world, he should at least be able to protect himself.” Pei Mianman gently stroked Ji Xiaoxi’s adorable cheeks while comforting her. Yun Yuqing and the others sighed in relief when they heard what she said.
She muttered to herself, “That’s right. He’s so strong, he’ll definitely be fine.” Despite that, she still didn’t have any confidence inside.
“You scoundrel, you actually dare to disregard this first miss?” Salamay exclaimed. She'd just asked a question, and yet not a single person answered her. She had already been furious from being played by the other two, and she was now even angrier. She cried, “Arrest these cheap women for me!”
Even though the monsters had been shocked when they heard that the Lord of Slaughter was fake, their many years of trained instinct still made them carry out her orders. Two powerful monsters charged over.
Pei Mianman was the fastest to react, crying out, “Be careful!” Black flames raged around her. A rose and a red spider lily appeared in the air.
But the two monsters were both incredibly strong, second only to Mojard. They used their own powerful attacks to disperse the black flames. They were a bit surprised, saying, “This woman’s cultivation is clearly much lower than ours. This skill is quite interesting.”
“Stop wasting time. Capture them first!” Mojard barked. These women actually dared to anger the first miss! If not for the fact that he was seriously injured, he would have attacked himself.
Soon after, the other monsters also attacked. Yun Yuqing, Jiang Luofu, and Suolun Shi quickly faced their enemies. However, they had considerably lower cultivations than these monsters to begin with, so they were quickly put in a dangerous situation.
Just then, there was a cold shout. “The valiant will advance in formation; the azure dragon awaits its summons!”
A resounding draconic roar echoed through the skies. A giant dragon appeared in the temple out of thin air, forcing all of the monsters back. The monsters looked at Jing Teng with shock. Why did they suddenly feel fear? It felt like a dread that came from their very souls.
“Thank you, Miss Jing,” Pei Mianman quickly said.
Jing Teng grinned. “What, I saved your lives, but you won’t even call me big sister?”
Pei Mianman said with a slight smile, “Your respected self is a senior. If you want me to call you big sister, we can do so.”
The implications were clear. If age alone was enough to call someone 'big sister', that was fine. But if it was for other reasons, she would politely decline.
Jing Teng was speechless.
This woman really hides daggers behind a smile. If not for the fact that brat Ah Zu asked me to protect all of you, I would’ve already propped you up and given you a good spanking!
She harrumphed to express her dissatisfaction, then said, “The fight up there is getting quite exciting. What use is there in fighting our little quarrel here? You'll naturally know the truth once their battle is decided.”
Salamay’s expression changed several times. Whichever side won up there, neither would be good news for her. But both she and Mojard were seriously injured without much fighting strength left. Her subordinates alone weren’t enough to defeat these women either. If that imposter came down to provide aid, her group would most likely be completely wiped out. Besides, wouldn’t she just be helping the Monster Lord out by doing that?
Her eyes flickered brightly. In the end, they stopped over the True Demon elders. At the moment, they were the only ones that could be recruited. After all, misery loved company.
…
Meanwhile in the skies, the floating clouds had already been completely scattered by the battle.
The Monster Lord looked down at a wound in his chest. He stared at the opponent and said, “I already know who you are. You are this world’s regent!”
