A group of people arrived at the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. "So this is the place where you fought, honey. I've seen your past through the Eye of Time~" Suōshā said after arriving at the hall. "I always feel like I have no privacy in front of the Eye of Time and Future Vision. It's such a cheating skill," I replied helplessly. "Heh, you spent so long in the Void Space and still didn't learn it when you had the chance," she teased. "I don't like those spoiler skills. I don't want to see the future in advance; I'd rather take it one step at a time," I said, shaking my head. "So stubborn. Fine, the future you is even stronger than now, so just keep moving forward." Suōshā covered her mouth and laughed."Come in, I know why you're here," Emperor Ba's voice echoed from above. We ended our chat and entered the hall. I held Enis's hand as we walked. "Me too~" Suōshā said jealously. Helplessly, I took one hand of each. "Haha, you're making others jealous," Kaia teased. My mood was complicated; I wasn't in the mood to joke.We entered the hall together, and on the throne ahead, Emperor Ba sat, staring at the three of us. "Looks like you've stirred up something new, kid," he said. "Uh, Uncle, this is complicated. Please let me explain," I hurriedly defended. "No need for words. By demon clan rules, if you take a new partner, you must sever an arm. Enforce the clan rule now." With that, Emperor Ba conjured a sharp blade and sent it to me. "This… fine, it's my fault. I accept the punishment," I said, raising the blade to sever my arm. "Stop!" Enis shouted, halting me. "I've never heard of such a demon clan rule. He shouldn't be punished. I accept this woman. Please forgive him, Emperor Ba," she pleaded. "No, this is my fault. I swore to be loyal to you forever, yet I took a new lover. This punishment is deserved," I said, lifting the blade again. Enis slapped my face. "If anything happens to you, I won't live either!" she cried, scolding me. Suōshā stayed silent. "This woman is my sister now. He shouldn't be punished for this," Enis continued pleading. Seeing this, Emperor Ba said, "Fine, since you get along well, I'll let it go. This ends here, but don't let it happen again." He winked at me, and I realized Emperor Ba had staged this act to help convince Enis. The old man's cunning! I gave him a look of deep respect. Then Suōshā's voice echoed in my mind: "Nice performance, honey. Now my place is secure~" She'd already seen it through Future Vision, no wonder she didn't stop me earlier. What a cunning woman."Ahem, let's cut to the chase. You're here to persuade me to move to the human realm, right? White and Enis can manage things there. I'm too old to travel far," Emperor Ba said first. "No, Enis and I lack the authority to convince the demon clan to relocate. Plus, we have our own family to run now and want kids in the future. Enis has worked hard for three years and should step back. As the demon lord, you should think of the entire clan. The new city needs your leadership to rise. Please reconsider, Uncle," I respectfully requested. "Yes, the demons new to the human realm need your authority to stay in line. Emily and I believe you're the only one fit to lead the new city," Kaia added. "I accepted Suōshā as you wished. Now you must listen to me, or I'll disown you!" Enis chimed in. Emperor Ba pondered for a moment. "Fine, I can't outtalk you youngsters. Looks like this old man still has work to do."Seeing we'd finally convinced Emperor Ba, everyone was thrilled. "Great! Let's head out now and hold a welcome banquet in the new city tonight!" I celebrated. "Good idea. I'll get Judo and Sisi to come too," Emily agreed. "Yeah, if King Jothua could join, it'd be a historic meeting!" Kaia suddenly suggested. "Right, let's notify King Jothua too. Whether he comes is up to him," Emily added. "Fine, if he's willing, I'd like to thank him in person," Emperor Ba said, intrigued. "Looks like we need to prepare well for two big guests today," I said with a smile.
