Alakdo proudly raised his head.

"Not bad, have you just realized this now?"

Mi Xi nodded her head, puzzlingly scratching the back of her skull.

"Hmm... it seems to have grown a bit larger, and it looks different too. That's strange, I thought how you looked was decided the moment you were born."

Alakdo said proudly.

"That's right! But I am a servant of Lord Demon King, and Lord Demon King has his ways!"

Mi Xi eyed him suspiciously, but felt it was inappropriate to continue asking.

It must be the undead magic.

I heard that evil Undead Mages devour the souls of other deceased, and in doing so, they forcefully elevate their soul levels at the expense of not resembling themselves anymore.

But in doing so...

Wouldn't that put this fellow on the same level as her?

A drum of anxiety began beating in Mi Xi's heart.

After thanking Lord Demon King and bidding him farewell, she grabbed Yousi's hand and headed back to the Land of Nightmare.

Having sent away the little demon's emissary, Alakdo turned to look at Luo Yan, who was standing in the Blood Palace, and respectfully bowed his head, saying.

"My Lord, I wish to return to my homeland to check on the situation there, and also to say goodbye to Lady Alachinos."

Luo Yan simply smiled and said.

"Go ahead, and also send my regards to Lady Alachinos. Additionally, you do not need to leave the Weaving Shadow Clan; serving me as a member of the Weaving Shadow Clan will suffice."

Insects are mostly matriarchal.

Although he was keen on promoting Alakdo to be the leader of the "New Weaving Shadow Clan," unfortunately, the public spider lacked the ambition and capacity to start a clan.

Forcing him to leave his original tribe would only make him feel uneasy.

His intent was enough.

"Thank you, Lord Demon King!"

Alakdo gratefully glanced at the Demon King, then his spry eight legs carried him away, disappearing into the labyrinthine corridors.

...

Meanwhile, Mi Xi flew back to the Land of Nightmare, hand in hand with Yousi.

Along the way, Mi Xi looked at Yousi wanting to speak but ultimately did not dare to open her mouth and closed her hesitant lips.

Thus, the two of them wearily traversed the pitch-black cave to reach Her Majesty Qianqian's palace, floating down and prostrating themselves on the ground from mid-air.

"Greeting Your Majesty the Queen!"

Seated on the grand rock throne, Queen Qianqian, who had just dined, was lazily reclining against the rock-hard armrest, pretending to nap.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, she lowered the jade leg that was resting on her knee and opened her blood-red eyes to gaze downward, only to see an unexpected face.

"Yousi? You're still alive?" A look of surprise appeared on Qianqian's face as she scanned Yousi from top to bottom.

Although she looked hardly unscathed, it was much better than the worst Qianqian had feared.

With her head firmly pressed against the tiles, Yousi pitifully sobbed softly while woefully complaining.

"I was lucky to come back with my life... Those quadrupeds were utterly unreasonable. It was bad enough they wouldn't let me speak, but then they punched me and even wanted to eat me! Wuu wuu wuu... my stomach still hurts terribly... burp... terribly..."

If it wasn't for that untimely burp ruining the atmosphere, Qianqian might have really felt a bit of guilt for that pitiful sight.

"You suffered,"

"No, not at all..." Yousi quietly wiped her tears and continued in a low voice, "It's Yousi's honor to share Her Majesty's concerns... Even if it's a perilous place like Lord Demon King's territory, Yousi would willingly brave the dangers for Your Majesty..."

Observing the two creatures' round bellies, Qianqian remained silent for a while before speaking again.

"Let's set aside Yousi's experiences for a moment, what exactly happened to you two outside... Could you explain to me?"

Yousi sniffled.

Still mentally at the banquet, she unconsciously began listing dishes.

"...roast pig's trotters, cream stewed rabbit legs, red wine stewed beef, and... and many, many more..."

Qianqian: "What?"

Seeing the perplexed look on Her Majesty's face, Mi Xi quickly interrupted.

"Your, Your Majesty! Yousi's mind was damaged by those quadrupeds, please allow me to report to you in her stead."

"What do you mean!" Seeing that her counterpart was trying to get ahead, Yousi quickly gritted her teeth and glared at her.

"Yousi, be quiet."

Not in the mood to watch the two fools quarrel, Qianqian gave Yousi a glance that frightened her into shutting her legs tightly, then she looked at Mi Xi with an authoritative tone.

"You speak."

"Yes, yes!"

Mi Xi, trembling with fear, nodded and presented a letter personally written by His Majesty the Demon King while recounting the entire incident from start to finish.

It included the cross trap that Lord Demon King had requested as tribute, the Dragon Clan flooding the labyrinth, the flooding of the unauthorized structures in the Weaving Shadow Nest, Lord Demon King decisively deploying troops to protect his vassals, an Undead Mage singlehandedly annihilating five hundred warriors of the Dragon Clan using Undead Magic, and somehow, the Dragon Clan managing to summon a dragon, among other things.

Hearing that even a dragon had fallen to Lord Demon King, Qianqian stood up from the rock throne, her mouth agape in astonishment.

"A dragon?! The new Demon King... defeated a dragon?!"

Mi Xi, still trembling, nodded.

"Yes... although it's strange, the dragon didn't leave behind a body, but Mi Xi thinks that even as a summoned creature, it was quite impressive. One blast from its mouth would destroy a forest, and a flick of its tail could annihilate an entire troop... It was terrifying."

After being shocked for a full two minutes, Qianqian, standing on the rock throne, realized her breach of composure and elegantly coughed before sitting back down.

"...and then? What about the Dragon Clan?"

"They no longer exist..."

Mi Xi, head bowed, nervously continued.

"Lord Demon King annihilated them to the last, like crushing a worm. Those who survived were demoted to slaves, as punishment for their betrayal of the Demon God and Hell."

The Dragon Clan was no more!

Qianqian's pupils shook, her heartbeat quickened, her blood boiled, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face.

This was such evil!

Such power!

Such majesty!

She hadn't expected the perverted old vampire to have such resolve, rooting out the entrenched powers on the first level of the labyrinth with just two moves!

Indeed, is horseradish spicier when it is older?

Her bewitching red eyes twinkled with an evil and cunning light, her porcelain index finger resting on her crimson lips, her smile carrying a profound meaning.

Interesting...

Truly interesting!

Her initial impression of him had slightly improved.

Watching the queen absorbed in her own world, Mi Xi shivered and dared not say another word, fearful that the more he said, the more mistakes he might make.

At that moment, Qianqian suddenly spoke.

"That roast pork knuckle... was it tasty?"

Mi Xi involuntarily tensed up, squeaking in reply.

"Good, tasty! No, no, but Mi Xi thinks that the best thing is still that big plate of chicken..."

"Big plate of chicken?!" Yousi quickly turned to look at her, swallowing his saliva, "What flavor is it?"

"Haven't you eaten it already? It's in your stomach..."

"Huh?!"

Ignoring the chirping and noisy pair, Qianqian lazily extended her hand and took the letter previously presented by Mi Xi from the gargoyle's hand.

It was a personal letter from Lord Demon King.

The meticulous handwriting carried a refreshing fragrance, as if walking in a pine forest after rain, fresh, elegant, and mysterious, entirely lacking the decayed scent of old coffin boards that usually clung to vampires... although she hadn't seen many vampires yet.

As the saying goes, meeting through his handwriting.

Though they had not met yet, she had roughly imagined a gentleman in an evening suit, wearing a monocle and behaving gracefully.

Of course, he must be quite frightening when angry.

"The Land of Nightmare can meet his requirements, just change the 'Fake Resurrection Cross' on the Undead Summoning Technique to the Soul Release Technique; that should be enough," she said.

"Yes..." Mi Xi nodded nervously, "That won't be very hard for us, just get those little ones who do nothing but eat, moving."

Suddenly, various heads popped out from the Giant Stone Cave, angrily looking around as if trying to see who was saying they did nothing.

Did nothing?

Where did those Little Demon Eggs come from?

Who collected the mushrooms, the firewood?

However, upon seeing that the speaker was a subordinate of Queen Qianqian, all the demons quickly retracted their heads.

She was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.

Qianqian smiled and said,

"Very good, then... Yousi, I'll leave this task for you to supervise. Once it's done, you and Mi Xi can deliver it to Lord Demon King, and exchange the Joss Paper for more food on the way back."

The two Little Demons bowed simultaneously.

"Yes!"

"As commanded!"
