Chapter 1666 - 726: Heavyweight Little Green Plum

Chapter 1666: Chapter 726: Heavyweight Little Green Plum

Not only that, but the Golden Horn Demon King also recalled a past story circulating among the high-ranking members of the Demon Realm.

Legend has it that South Nether Empress Xiyan, reputed as the most beautiful woman in the Demon Realm, was once the admirer of the Demon Ancestor.

The Demon Empress Xiyan, the Golden Horn Demon King had seen her before, with that appearance, that figure, that temperament... Then he looked at this Human Clan in front of him, and his eyes almost popped out.

It must be said, the Demon Ancestor had quite unique tastes.

"What kind of look is that?" Ye Lingyue also noticed the strange color in the eyes of the Golden Horn Demon King and reproached him with some dissatisfaction.

"Human Clan... no, Lady, I meant no offense. I just remembered some past events about the Demon Ancestor."

The Golden Horn Demon King chuckled awkwardly, but in his speech, he had already begun to show respect for Ye Lingyue.

Joking aside, she was the Demon Ancestor’s woman. If the Demon Ancestor had not fallen that year, he could have unified the Demon Realm. If compared, her identity is even nobler than the South Nether Empress.

Since the Golden Horn Demon King had decided to collaborate with Ye Lingyue, naturally he needed to curry favor with her.

"Lady?" Ye Lingyue looked puzzled. What’s with that odd title?

"Then, Lady?"

The Golden Horn Demon King looked troubled; no one had ever said what the Demon Ancestor’s woman should be called.

"Call me whatever you like, just tell me everything you know about Di Shen."

Ye Lingyue waved her hand impatiently.

"Lady, to be honest, I was once a Demon General of the South Nether Tribe. The South Nether Tribe is where the Demon Ancestor was born, and it’s also his father’s maternal clan."

The Golden Horn Demon King hesitated, then decided to be candid and thorough.

"What? Are you saying Di Shen has a father? No, I mean, is his father still alive?"

Ye Lingyue looked shocked.

She had always thought Di Shen was an orphan, otherwise why would Di Shen have no memories of his father at all, and Yan Jiu had never mentioned him.

Besides, if Di Shen’s father really were alive, why did he never appear despite everything that happened to Di Shen?

"The biological father of the Demon Ancestor was once the first fierce general of the South Nether Tribe, but when Lord Di Shen was very young, he went out one day and his life and death have been uncertain since."

Very few people in the South Nether Tribe mentioned Di Shen’s biological father.

"What about his mother?"

Ye Lingyue asked further.

"The identity of the Demon Ancestor’s biological mother has always been a mystery. Some say she was a human captive, others say she was a half-demon of mixed blood. When he was an infant, he was brought back by the Demon Ancestor’s father, and after that... he was ignored until the Demon Ancestor’s father disappeared."

The Golden Horn Demon King hesitated, his words carrying a hint of regret.

The Demon Clan is very particular about lineage. With a father of demon lineage, Di Shen originally should have held a noble status in the South Nether Tribe.

But precisely because his mother’s origins were unknown, and the Demon Ancestor’s father did not favor him.

So, before the age of six, the Demon Ancestor held a very humble existence in the South Nether Tribe.

He didn’t even have a wet nurse, and three months earlier, he survived solely on goat’s milk and was often hungry.

If it weren’t for General Yan’s wife, seeing the Demon Ancestor’s plight, secretly taking him home and raising him alongside her own child who had just turned one, the Demon Ancestor might have starved to death as a child.

To give birth and not raise him, does that still count as a father?

What first fierce general of the Demon Clan, what utter nonsense.

Ye Lingyue’s expression constantly shifted.

Despite knowing those events were in the past, when Ye Lingyue thought of the difficult times Di Shen had as a child, her heart couldn’t help but ache slightly.

She suddenly was grateful that Di Shen didn’t remember.

Perhaps for Di Shen, forgetting was a good thing.

At least he still had part of Feng Xun’s memories.

In this life, he still has loving parents.

Perhaps, that is the compensation the heavens granted Di Shen.

Her Di Shen, from this moment on, she must treat him even better, never allowing him to be alone again.

"The wife of General Yan you mentioned, is she the mother of the future Sky Demon Yan Jiu?"

The Golden Horn Demon King nodded.

"The wife of General Yan quietly raised the Demon Ancestor until the age of two. It wasn’t until their secret was discovered by the Demon Ancestor’s father that he was forcibly taken back. However, the family of General Yan secretly supported the Demon Ancestor. Supposedly, the life of the Demon Ancestor, once taken back, was quite harsh. His father was a very strict person and often scorned the Demon Ancestor as a waste. Around the time when the Demon Ancestor turned four, his father disappeared, and since then, the Demon Ancestor’s days became even harder. Until the Demon Ancestor was six, when he suddenly dazzled during the tribe’s grand meeting and was personally chosen by the Little Princess to become her servant."

Ye Lingyue finally understood why Di Shen and Yan Jiu had such a close relationship from a young age.

They were both nursed by the same mother.

"Wait, did you just say Little Princess? Who is she? And what do you mean by servant?"

Ye Lingyue raised an eyebrow, feeling something was off.

Di Shen, that guy, really did have a little green plum!

"The Little Princess is the daughter of the South Nether Tribe’s Clan Leader. She was born when the Moonflowers were in bloom, hence the name Moonflower. Because of her beauty and talent, she was very favored by the Old Clan Leader. It was even rumored at the time that Little Princess Moonflower might break the tradition of the South Nether Tribe and become the first Female Clan Leader. As for ’servant’, it refers to someone who studies military strategy alongside the Little Princess, accompanies the Little Princess intimately, and can even give their life for the Little Princess in certain situations."

For the entire South Nether Tribe, becoming a servant to the Little Princess was a matter of pride.

Accompany intimately, and offer life?

Ye Lingyue almost ground her silver teeth to bits.

Di Shen, that scoundrel, had not just any little plum, but a heavyweight one at that. Just wait until she sees him tomorrow morning.

A bit of jealousy, and the words she swore earlier to treat Di Shen well became fleeting clouds.

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s face grow even darker, the Golden Horn Demon King realized he had misspoken; he couldn’t underestimate a woman’s jealousy. He hurriedly added.

"Lady, I haven’t finished. Although chosen to be her servant, the Demon Ancestor refused to become one. He only agreed to accompany the Little Princess in studying and martial arts training, but as for offering his life or accompanying her intimately, the Demon Ancestor refused."

The Golden Horn Demon King spoke with admiration.

That grand meeting of the South Nether Tribe was still a legend throughout the Demon Realm.

Imagine a six-year-old child, with no background or support, relying solely on his bare fists, defeating all his peers.

He wore shabby clothes, yet couldn’t hide his extraordinary presence and elegant demeanor.

He stood proudly in the arena, looking at the Old Clan Leader with a commanding presence.

The voice of the child was still somewhat immature, but every word sounded like jewels dropping, clear and resonant, as he negotiated with the Old Clan Leader in front of tens of thousands of tribal members.
