Chapter One
1
Waiting for me outside the car, generally the underworld messengers won't let people see them because of their cloaks, but the only one who takes off the cloak is Lilith's sister, standing alone by the car. And the group of people outside mentioned by Wenxin's father are the underworld messengers behind Nana, although they can't see with their eyes, the "mind's eye" of the High Priest sees very clearly. There are twelve of them, more than the four who came first that day.
After the ball, as my bodyguard, the underworld messenger said he could do anything, so I decided to give it a try. Overnight, I eliminated the traitors and undercover agents from the Qin and Situ families. The underworld messenger took their souls effortlessly, making it appear as natural deaths. The Imperial Department of Justice couldn't find any evidence, but in the end, I still had to inform the Emperor of the Empire and show some respect for Li Liu's father's territory.
After the assassination incident, the external statement was consistent that it was a new experiment developed by the Imperial Army and The Chishin Academy. The appearance of the military equipment worn by Situ Liyao was also publicized and the fragments were collected and restarted. Now, along with the "Golden Bell" system, it is being prepared to be incorporated into the Imperial Army. Only a part of the recorded battle records will be released. The Empire's position in The Human Realm will immediately be elevated. It's like a "pie" falling from the sky. The Emperor of the Empire must be very grateful to those traitors.
"Help me put the luggage in the car!" I handed my luggage to Nana and turned to comfort Wenxin once again.
"I will definitely come back before school starts. I miss my time at school! And if someone asks about me, say that I went on a trip abroad." After saying these words, I immediately opened the door to the back seat. A person with long blue hair appeared. It wasn't the usual blue twin tails, but straight, long hair that was brushed and decorated with a star-shaped hair clip on the left side. Lilith appeared in front of me as a normal eighteen-year-old girl today.
"Lilith, you're wearing so little in the middle of winter. Be careful not to catch a cold!" Wenxin also noticed Lilith, but our focus was different. Wenxin saw Lilith wearing short denim shorts and a white blouse, which made her appear fresh and sexy, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
"The Demon Realm is in summer, and the demons aren't afraid of the cold."
"It's about time!" Nana sat in the driver's seat and skillfully started the car.

The car drove on the road, and there was only one car. The other messengers had already disappeared.
"..." Lilith leaned against the car window, humming a tune, her hair scattered around her ears. She even used her hand to twirl a strand of hair, looking very relaxed.
"I recognize this song."
"My mother used to be an actress. This is the theme song of her famous play."
"I must have heard it not too long ago!"
"It was over a decade ago. My mother hasn't been with me for many years. I don't remember what she looked like anymore."
"With your unique constitution and not seeing your mother for so many years, are you really human?"
"Huh? I said I am, so I am!" Lilith turned her back to me, still looking out of the window at the passing scenery, but she fiercely knocked on my head with her hand.
"Little sister, are you going back to The Demon Realm like this to surprise our father?" Nana looked at Lilith through the rearview mirror, seeing her meticulously dressed up, returning to The Demon Realm in a completely new attitude. She must not just be trying to please this man next to her.
"Didn't Father the King say that we can only return to The Demon Realm if we fully control the Divine Flame? This is the best proof. Although I can only transform twice a day, it's still a lot of fun," Lilith said while playing with my face, looking at the scenery outside the window, and chatting with Nana. She was in a very good mood.
"Ah! Is my face really that amusing?" I asked.
"It's not bad!" she replied.
"These are for you guys," Nana said, handing us a transparent green card. People from The Human Realm need to carry it with them. Now that we are going to make it look like a real trip, we need to follow the procedures. In the past six months, there have been various rumors about me between the academies and the imperial city. The Demon Realm has already come after me, and as for The Divine Realm, I don't know when they will come. At least for now, I can't let them lock onto me.
"Black, once we enter The Demon Realm, I won't appear anymore. The demon race in The Demon Realm is very sensitive to my holy dragon power," I said.
"We'll try to avoid fighting once we enter The Demon Realm. My power is not as strong as before, and it's not easy for the ten demon kings to listen to me," she replied.
"We'll take it step by step. I don't believe there's anything that can defeat me!"
"Um, Lilith, you've been playing for so long. Aren't you tired?" I asked.
"It's actually quite comfortable!"
"Congratulations on being an S&M!"
Three hours later, at the Imperial City Airport.
"Will I not gain weight if I eat dessert?" Lilith pointed to the dessert shop in the terminal building, her eyes just as eager as her mouth.
"How do you know you won't gain weight?" I looked at Lilith's current figure, although she had no excess fat, would she really not gain weight?
"You won't gain weight if you exercise enough!" Nana said confidently.
"Yeah, yeah! Then I'm going to eat. Are you joining me?" Lilith asked.
"Get me a strawberry-flavored cake," I said, thinking that it was almost lunchtime.
Nana, on the other hand, said seriously, "I'll stay behind. Protecting you is my responsibility."
Lilith ran towards the dessert shop without looking back. She said, "Qin Yang, wait for me!"
Nana and I sat on the chairs, keeping an eye on the boarding information.
"Nana from two years ago, were you not the envoy of the Underworld?" I casually asked while poking my phone.
"No, your real question should be about my appearance on the soccer field," she replied.
"Lilith and the girl who was pierced by your feather are good friends."
"..."
"Xiao Yao still hasn't recognized you, and she won't blame you. It's just better not to let Lilith know about it." If Lilith knew about this, who knows what might happen. It's best to avoid a tangled situation where my closest sister hurts my best friend.
"In that year, when I first came to The Human Realm, it was for the envoy's field examination. It happened near the soccer field, where a murder occurred. After capturing the spirit, I encountered you. I had never seen anyone with such formidable power before, and I wanted to challenge you. Hurting that girl was just an unintentional mistake."
I continued scrolling through my phone, reading the news. It said that Duke Qin, the Empire's representative in foreign conferences, had gained a significant advantage due to the Empire's new military equipment, which greatly deterred other countries.
"Heh, so they really went on a business trip," I thought, thinking that my mother and father had secretly gone to some tropical island to have fun.
"Half a year ago, you said you knew where I was for two years. I really don't want to say anything, but girls who pay so much attention to me can't escape!" I secretly glanced at Nana, who remained calm as ever.
"I'm only interested in your power. I don't feel anything for anything else."
"It's all the same."
"..." Nana ignored my words and remained vigilant of her surroundings.
At this point, the boarding time was approaching.
