update icon Updated at 2025/3/19 14:10:12

A few days later, Xu Chen received an invitation from Floating Jing City.

"The Demon Emperor's wife finally agrees to see me!" Xu Chen was delighted.

"Xu Chen, you still need to be careful," Qingyin said worriedly.

"It's alright. Not only Izayoi, but the other sisters may also be trapped in the Sea of Order. We must face everything!" Xu Chen said.

"I'll accompany you," Qingyin said, unwilling to let go of Xu Chen's hand.

"Okay!" Xu Chen nodded.

Floating Jing City was a huge octagonal floating palace suspended in the center of the massive Demonic Capital. Countless palaces of various kinds, magnificent, gorgeous, and bizarre, were inside, making it an awe-inspiring sight from afar!

Xu Chen and the others rode on Zhi Wan's flying ship and flew into the central square of Floating Jing City.

Surrounding the square were palaces of all kinds, and in front was a huge dreamlike palace with a broken dark purple wooden structure and a golden and magnificent roof. It had a total of seven layers!

Two Rhino Demon Generals wearing black armor stood guard outside the palace gate.

"It's Miss Zhi Wan! Her Highness has ordered for you and your friends to go in and see her directly!" one of the Rhinos said.

Obviously, Zhi Wan was familiar with this place.

Xu Chen and the others followed Zhi Wan into the palace, ascending the stairs to the highest level.

In the grand hall, where you could overlook the entire Demonic Capital city at night, stood a tall and mature woman with her back to them, gazing at the distant view of the capital.

"Aunt Sakiko!" Zhi Wan spoke, "I've brought the person you wanted to see!"

The mature woman turned around, revealing a face that seemed very comfortable and charming, with a slender figure that was both elegant and voluptuous.

Sakiko glanced at Xu Chen, her gaze lingering on the woman by his side.

"So you're Xu Chen?"

"Your Highness," Xu Chen respectfully replied.

"Hehe, Xu Chen, I am good friends with Zhi Wan. Since Zhi Wan has such a high regard for you, there's no need for formalities. Just call me Aunt Sakiko! By the way, the tall and beautiful girl next to you must be your girlfriend, Qingyin, right?" Sakiko said.

"Uh... yes, that's right..."

"Hello, Aunt Sakiko!" Qingyin obediently greeted.

"Hehe, Demonic Capital has long been rumored to have several peerless beauties, such as the Starry Sky Palace Master, Qingyin of the Water Night, whose beauty can even freeze time. I never expected that your boyfriend would be just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy," Sakiko smiled.

"Aunt Sakiko, Qingyin sister, and I, along with the sisters of The Mercenaries of the Wind, have gone through countless trials to come together. Right now, we still have many sisters whose whereabouts are unknown. I have come this time to ask for Aunt Sakiko's help in completing the Time-Space Array that will allow us to travel through time and space!" Xu Chen cut to the chase.

"Xu Chen, Zhi Wan and the girl from Star Dance have already told me about your situation. Although I still find it hard to believe that you can travel through time and space, I do not doubt your words! You, Qingyin, and the girl from Star Dance are all sincere and kind-hearted people! However, activating the Time-Space Array will consume a great amount of my magic power, and moreover, Zhi Wan and I alone are not enough! We also need the help of the Shura Witch and The Maiden of the Celestial Realm! Convincing these two will not be an easy task!" Sakiko said.

"Aunt Sakiko, we are willing to pay any price we can in order to reunite with our sisters! Please help us! If there are any conditions, please feel free to say," Xu Chen firmly stated.

Sakiko looked around and said to the two maids who were standing nearby, "You may leave!"

Once they were alone, Sakiko's expression turned serious. "Xu Chen, I can help you, and I can also help you find the Shura Witch and The Maiden of the Celestial Realm. However, the condition is that I have to be able to leave this Floating Jing City!""Oh? Auntie, can't you leave now?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

Sakiko's face suddenly became desolate. "Hmph, as the so-called demon emperor's wife, it seems like I have power in the Demonic Capital, but in reality, it's just... sigh. Xu Chen, my husband is the Tian Xiegui Wang, one of the eight demon emperors! He is incredibly powerful and extremely lustful and domineering. He has thousands of concubines, but won't allow me to leave the Floating Capital City even for a step. I just wanted to go out and clear my mind, but I need his permission! So, even though I am here managing the entire Demonic Capital for him, I have no freedom myself! He doesn't allow me to see any other men, so I had to find a way to meet you! I want to go out and see the world, see you, see your mercenary group. Although it may not be powerful or wealthy, you can freely adventure, and I envy that! If you can help me escape and go back to my hometown, I will do everything I can to help you!" Sakiko said.

"Auntie Sakiko, where is your hometown?" Xu Chen asked.

"My hometown...," Sakiko's gaze became distant as she looked into the distance.
