Chapter 3

The flight was about to enter the gate soon. Staring at the red sky for too long, my eyes were about to explode. After all, I hadn't seen it for many years, and the blue and white sky was still more enchanting.
"Can I ask a question? Is this the plane we transferred to later?"
"Yes, it is. This room is still the same one. Who booked the flight?" After Perra said this, she skillfully slid her hand on the coffee table in the room, and the window's sunshade was activated, blocking the sunlight outside.
"It seems like it was arranged by Uncle Fist Demon." Lilith had already recovered her spirit and was idly poking at the large screen in the room, looking for some entertainment.
"That's the butler's style." I thought for a moment and said, "Perra, do you want us to go downstairs and find that bartender?"
"You... don't mention that person again!" Perra couldn't handle more than a few drinks last time, and as the queen, every time she thought about it, it was a dark chapter in her history.
"I was actually defeated by a human's drink! It makes me angry just thinking about it." Perra muttered.
"Then I'll go by myself!" I was quite excited and ready to go.

"Knock, knock~" I tapped the bar counter a few times, and a slightly disheveled man came out from the backstage.
"Why is it you!"
"Why not me? Father."
"Coyalu... You're the bartender Jack!"
As this person walked out, he vaguely felt like the same bartender I had seen before, but this face belonged to Coyalu.
"Yes, it's me. It was me from the beginning. So, are you surprised?"
"A little bit. So you mean Masangliang was a fake name, and participating in that cocktail competition was also fake!"
Coyalu wiped his hands with a white cloth. "No, I have been using this name for the past eighteen years. And I did indeed participate in the competition. This is the evidence." Coyalu lifted his chest to reveal a small blue badge.
"What is this? The champion's prize?"
"There were over a thousand participants. This badge wasn't easy to come by."
"No wonder Perra couldn't handle a few glasses last time."
"That was specially made for vampires. It's custom-made!"
I picked up the glass and silently looked at it for a moment before saying, "Aren't you planning to return to your territory? There are no longer two of you in this world, you don't need to hide anymore."
"After regaining my youthful body, I have spent a lot of effort and hard work in the past eighteen years. After crossing over as an old man, I did not return to my old appearance. These hard-earned achievements, I must enjoy them thoroughly. Besides, I haven't chosen anyone to inherit my position as the Demon King."
"Well, you could pass the position to Yueqi. Originally, the titles of Forest Lord and Snow Maiden were created by you forcibly separating them. This way, one of the Ten Demon Kings would be vacant, and the new Demon Kings could take over. Then people like Tony wouldn't be plotting to get rid of me!"
"She likes to challenge me, her old man. It's not possible!"
"Both of you are troublesome father and daughter. I don't care anymore, you two figure it out yourselves."
"Speaking of Tony, I sealed him within the sea using the power of a dragon. Unfortunately, that dragon's power wasn't very strong, and I could only seal him for ten years. But after leaving the seal, he disappeared for some reason."
"You can't find him?"
"No, we can't find him. Neither the human world nor the demon world, he's probably in The Divine Realm."
"As a demon in The Divine Realm, I guess all his hatred for the divine beings has been directed towards me." Demons have accumulated so much hatred towards the divine beings that staying too long in The Divine Realm will often drive them insane.
"You keep planting, I have something to do!"
"Father, you don't look well." Coyalu walked up to me and sensed that something was off.
I waved him away and left the bar.

"Oh!" I leaned against the wall of the corridor, clutching my chest, feeling a wave of heat and discomfort.
"It's Li Liu!" I sensed that the vice president was in trouble, as the contract sent out an emergency signal. The aircraft had entered the gate, and it was difficult to use spatial magic to teleport back to the vice president's side inside. If there was no other way, I had to wait until after leaving the gate to teleport back! The vice president was most likely in danger because of Ma Rutian. I heard her mention the vice president's name that day! That attack was too swift."
I just turned around, intending to return to my room, when suddenly I bumped into something resilient.
"Oh! Can't you look where you're going!" I heard a pained voice.
"Miss Situ, did you just bump into me!"
Why was this porcelain doll-faced lady here too? Did they buy the plane tickets as a group?
"Qin Yang, I... won't bother with you!" Situ Liyao should have been angry, but she held it in.
"What happened!"
"Let me tell you, Qin Yang, I don't know what agreement you made with Forest Lord, even if he doesn't allow me to trouble you. But you Qin family, don't give me any reason to catch you!" Situ Liyao said this with utmost seriousness.
"Hey hey, aren't you tired of thinking about all this as a teenager? You're a campus singer, just sing and perform every day!"
"We are both successors to noble titles, we can't forget about this identity, and you can't forget that you're the one who harmed my brother."
"Miss, I've told you many times, your brother brought it upon himself. Firstly, he was the one who attacked me, and secondly, he only became a vegetable because he took that kind of medicine. He took it himself, and I ended up with wounds all over my body to deal with him! It's infuriating, how can't this girl understand? Even if intelligence becomes negative when your loved ones are hurt, after so long, shouldn't you wake up?"
"You... I won't believe your words." Situ Liyao crossed her arms and avoided looking directly at me.
"I remember when we first came to The Demon Realm, you weren't so extreme. What happened to you in The Demon Realm?"
"...." she suddenly fell silent.
"I guess Forest Lord is giving you a hard time?"
Her gaze flickered, and finally, she softly said, "Don't ask about it."
"Hey, don't put on such a worried expression. If there's anything difficult, you can tell me, I'll talk to Forest Lord."
"Okay, stop bragging. Can you really make the Demon King give you face?"
"Since you don't want to answer, by the way, what do you have on your body? It hurt me so much when we bumped into each other!"
I felt around my body and pulled out a half-face mask, giving it to Situ Liyao.
"It has some connection to you, so I'm giving it to you."
This half-face mask was originally used to cover my face when I appeared as the Demon Dragon, but now it's unnecessary.
Situ Liyao looked at the mask and suddenly asked, "That girl my brother used to like, what kind of person is she?"
"Well... Elena, she... is very independent, and she is very charming in our school." Thinking of Elena, I couldn't help but touch the spot where I was previously injured.
"Do you like her too?"
"She's my second favorite after you."
"Second favorite? You're disgusting." Situ Liyao's face showed a disgusted expression as she shook her head and walked away.

Afterwards, I returned to my room and asked Nofice to draw a Magic formation.
"Everyone, gather together. We're leaving the Divine and Demon Gate and using Spatial Magic!"
"Is it the Vice President?" Lilith also felt it.
"This time, I can't be careless anymore. There can't be any more incidents involving Elena!"
The atmosphere in the room became slightly tense.
