As a Demon Emperor, Ling E had brought a lot of people back and forth, but because Mute Moon Valley was an extremely sinister and inauspicious place to the people of Seven Realms, and had been sealed by the previous Demon Emperor ten thousand years ago, no one dared to enter.

Half of the people waiting outside were Right Patronus's confidants...

Ling E looked at Left Patronus, who had been promoted by him, and shook his head sadly: since he was a child, his birth mother had died young, and his father had only raised him as a standard heir. In fact, it was Right Patronus who took care of him more.

His father had personally taught him the way of the monarch, and Right Patronus had been ordered to watch over his cultivation. Every time he was scolded by his father, he couldn't help but cry to Right Patronus, his master. Later on, he gradually grew up, and as long as he wasn't in front of his father, he didn't even call him master.

After all, "Aunt" made him feel more loved than "Master."

As for his father, at the beginning, he was filled with resentment and expectation. He hoped that his father would approve of his hard work, but at the same time, he resented his father's indifference and disregard towards him...

Until his father, Zhuochen, died, the life of the Demon Emperor should not have been so fragile...

It was only then that he found out that his father had used half of his life to exchange for a woman... It was also then that he realized that his existence and his mother's were just part of the Demon Emperor's routine plan.

Demon Emperor Zhuochen did not need a wife who treated him with respect and a son who was happy around his knees. All he needed was a vessel and an heir who could give birth to a child.

He didn't even need the woman he had traded half his life for. He could give up his life for her, and he could also seal the woman completely into a cold valley for the Devil Realm and let her live or die.

His "father" had no desire for any of them, and Ling Ran had thought it would be hard to accept, but when the plain truth came to him, it was easy and easy to accept.

He suddenly felt that all the expectation and hatred were ridiculous. It was like two armies facing each other, and you were looking forward to a good fight, but the enemy didn't take you seriously at all.

Sometimes he would wonder if Xijie would have made him feel better if he had appeared a little later, and his position in the Devil Realm had been a little more stable.

But Xijie had barged into his world so suddenly, and in such a hurry and so fiercely, that it really made the two of them and the people around them bleed.

His master, aunt, and only elder who loved him dearly, Right Patronus Wanqing of the Devil Realm, ever since he returned to the Devil Realm with Xijie, she seemed to have gone crazy and started her crazy revenge. As if all the old wounds had been torn open again, she struggled wildly and savagely, like a lion wounded by a hunter, in a weary and prolonged struggle with the man who had wounded her.

Ling E could not imagine how terrible the war had been ten thousand years ago, but he knew that the gentlest aunt in his young memory had lost two of the most important people in that war: the last Left Patronus and the last Demon Lord. To Wanqing, it meant more than their status and position. After all, Left Patronus was her newlywed husband, and the Demon Lord was her sister who had helped promote her.

...

It wasn't that Ling Ran didn't regret it. It was just that when he realized how reckless his actions were and how much damage he had done to his aunt, he had nowhere to run.
