Chapter 1000: Chapter 1020: In That Moment, He Was Not the Demon Emperor, but a Father_1

A veil cap was placed on Nalan Wushuang’s head, covering her lovely and beautiful fox ears, while a face veil obscured her fairy-like facial features.

Lin Chen looked at her for a while and laughed, "Not bad. Unless someone is very familiar with you and closely observes, no one would recognize you as the Demon Saintess."

Nalan Wushuang bitterly smiled, "It’s quite ironic that as the Demon Saintess, I have to hide and dare not show my face on the demon race’s territory."

Lin Chen didn’t mind: "Temporarily."

Nalan Wushuang stared into Lin Chen’s eyes, "You are the Human Emperor, and I am the Demon Saintess. Logically, you should have tried to kill me while I was weak. You saved me before to prevent the Demon Ancestor from possessing me, which can be understood as not wanting the Demon Ancestor to be reborn."

"But after you took me away, I was already at death’s door. Why did you still save me? If I had died and you just burned my body to ashes, wouldn’t that be better for the Human Clan?"

Lin Chen smiled, "I didn’t think that much. Since I saved you, I saved you."

Nalan Wushuang bit her lip, not believing Lin Chen’s words. She looked at him brightly, "Is it because of the Demon Emperor?"

Lin Chen turned his head to stare at Nalan Wushuang, his gaze squarely on her.

Nalan Wushuang whispered, "I know the Demon Emperor is your father."

Lin Chen smiled, "Since you know, I also have some questions I want to ask you..."

Nalan Wushuang nodded, "Ask."

Lin Chen calmly asked, "What exactly did my father experience in Yin Yang Valley? Why did he become the Demon Emperor Successor? And you came out of the Demon Emperor with my father that day, what is the relationship between you and him?"

Nalan Wushuang reached out to brush a few strands of hair that had fallen, shifted her body, and leaned against the nearby wall.

"I became the Demon Saintess because of my background, talent, and other reasons. You should be able to understand this, and there is not much to say."

Lin Chen nodded. He wasn’t too concerned about Nalan Wushuang’s background. Knowing that she was the Demon Saintess and had an Innate Dao Body was enough.

"Although the demon race is in chaos, there is actually an organization - the Demon Emperor Pavilion, which serves the Demon Emperor and manages the demon race all over the world."

"In fact, there have always been people acting as the Demon Emperor in every generation, but a Demon Emperor without strong strength and personal charm has no appeal among the Demon Emperors, so even if they do exist, they are just empty shells."

Lin Chen interrupted, "Not everyone who sits in that position is called the Demon Emperor, right?"

"Yes, that’s what I mean."

Nalan Wushuang nodded, "The human race has been searching for ten thousand years for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, and likewise, the demon race has been searching too. Fortunately, we found some clues and eventually confirmed that his burial chamber was in Yin Yang Valley."

"Because of my unique body, I’m not affected by the Yin Yang Valley Poison, so I entered Yin Yang Valley to search for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor."

"By the time I found the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, the Heart of the Demon Emperor had already fused into your father’s chest for many years, merging as one."

"I don’t know how the Heart of the Demon Emperor chose your father, but when it knew I was the Demon Saintess, it prepared to return to the demon race with me."

"It happened to coincide with the human cultivators entering Yin Yang Valley in a grandiose manner, attempting to explore the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. So the Demon Emperor set a trap for you."

"Because I entered the Tomb of the Demon Emperor and helped the Demon Emperor solve a huge problem, helping him to complete the fusion, he trusts me a lot. Plus, I am the Demon Saintess with an Innate Dao Body, so he values me highly."

"This time, he instructed me and the Red Dragon King and others to awaken the Demon Ancestor, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a change..."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "You said the Demon Emperor, did he know that the Demon Ancestor’s Rejuvenation and Blood Awakening were a trap? Simply put, did the Demon Emperor know that the Demon Ancestor would possess you?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head, "I don’t know."

If the Demon Emperor knew about this and still sent Nalan Wushuang, then it would be deliberately sending a lamb into the tiger’s mouth, using Nalan Wushuang’s life to exchange for a reborn Demon Ancestor.

If the Demon Emperor didn’t know, then it was naturally a different matter and couldn’t be blamed on him.

Lin Chen asked, "What is the Demon Emperor’s state now?"

Nalan Wushuang knew what Lin Chen meant and thought for a moment, "He’s more like the Demon Emperor than your father. Of course, this may also be because he is facing me, the demon race, rather than you, his son."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, "Does he still remember?"

Nalan Wushuang answered affirmatively, "Of course. After the last True Dragon Secret Realm, I went back to report that you had saved my life, and his reaction was completely different from usual..."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, "How?"

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips, "Happy, proud, and in that instant, I felt that he was not the Demon Emperor, but a father—your father."

Happy?

Proud?

Lin Chen slowly exhaled, his eyes extremely bright, while a complex emotion surged in his heart.

At this moment, as a father, are you sincerely proud of your child’s accomplishments?
