It is said that Qingxu led his people back to the Gale Empire and truthfully reported everything that happened in Qingfeng Mountain to the emperor.
The emperor and Qingxu had a long secret discussion and decided that the dragon egg must be protected from outsiders.
The ten people who followed are also the pillars of the country and can keep the secret. As long as the dragon egg hatches safely and the dragon grows to adulthood, it will be comparable to the powerful Emperor Wu, and the Gale Kingdom can also enjoy a peaceful life for hundreds or thousands of years.
.
So the emperor ordered the imperial master Qingxu to take care of the dragon egg.
Qingxu returned to his home and placed the dragon egg in a safe and clean back mountain, ordering his personal guards to guard it at all times.
A few months have passed. In the early morning, Qingxu and Qingya were discussing national affairs together. The guards outside the mansion came to report: A ball covered with white feathers fell from the sky from the mountain behind the mansion. They did not dare to do so without permission.
I opened it and carried it back to ask the Imperial Master to take a look.
Qingxu led people outside the mansion and saw several personal guards surrounding a one-meter-tall ball covered with white feathers.
The national master Qingxu used his senses to explore and found that there seemed to be a living thing inside! So he ordered the guards to carefully open the ball and take a look.
The guards used their hands to push away the feathers on the ball bit by bit. As the feathers became less and less, the contents inside were also revealed.
It turned out to be a three- or four-year-old female doll that looked as if it was carved from pink and jade. The girl's body was bent into a ball. But as soon as the girl's body came into contact with the outside air, all the feathers suddenly turned into flames and burned and attached to the girl's body!
The peeled feathers turned into flames and attached to the girl's body when she opened her eyes. This movement shocked Qingxu Qingya and the guards, and some guards rushed to get water.
He tried to save people, but Qingxu reached out to stop him, because as the flames quickly disappeared, they turned into a pink dress with many feather patterns and wrapped around the little girl!
At this time, the little girl was also looking up and looking around. When everyone saw the little girl's pink-white skin, big black eyes, and long black hair, they almost fell to the ground.
The girl is only a little over one meter tall, with her bare white feet looking timidly at everyone.
Qingxu unconsciously remembered the figure of the Peacock Demon King, so he carefully walked up to the little girl and said: Are you the Demon King?
Everyone would think so. A little baby is covered in feathers and has been burned by fire without any damage. Can this be a normal child?
The little girl looked at Qingxu in confusion, looked around and said: Where is this? I felt the familiar aura and landed here.
When Qingxu heard the tone of the other person's words, he was definitely the Demon King, so he said politely: This is the capital of the Gale Kingdom.
The little girl read out confusedly: Gale Kingdom? Then asked: Which realm is this?
Qingxu was confused by the little girl's question. He shook his head slightly and said: I don't understand what you said, because Qingxu and the others don't know the name of the entire continent they live in. He has only heard that their place belongs to Donghuang.
, maybe Donghuang is the name of this continent.
The little girl closed her eyes as if she was sensing something, but immediately opened her eyes and said doubtfully: Why are my memories confused and my strength not much left?
What did I come here for? I seem to have forgotten something important or something?
After saying that, he looked at Qingxu blankly.
Qingxu was still thinking about what strange questions this girl would ask and how to answer them.
Then the little girl said again: I'm so hungry, I still want to sleep!
Upon hearing this, Qingxu quickly said: Well, there is food and a room, so come with me. But in his heart, he was thinking, can the demon king be used to eating food from us humans?
But I didn’t want to provoke such a strong man who looked like a demon king before I found out the little girl’s identity.
The little girl was not afraid of people. She followed Qingxu and the others into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and looked around. In a short time, the waiter brought the food.
The little girl was really hungry. She reached out and picked up a pastry and ate it. She ate several in a row. When she was full, she looked at Qingxu, Qingya and the others and asked: "Can I sleep here?"
I'm so sleepy now. My memory is messed up. I can't remember many things. Can I stay here first?
The little girl spoke to Qingxu in a pleading tone.
Upon hearing this, Qingxu quickly asked: Where is your home?
The little girl shook her head blankly.
Qingxu asked again: How did you come to Gale Country?
The little girl shook her head again.
So are you the transformed demon king? Qingxu then asked.
The little girl said: What is the Demon King?
Qingxu thought for a while, and as soon as he moved his body, invisible air currents were swimming around his body, and the sound of wind, thunder and lightning appeared all over his body, and he said: Just like me.
The little girl glanced at Qingxu and said: I really want to be like you. After saying that, she opened her mouth and became angry. Suddenly, flames appeared out of thin air around the girl, emitting extremely high flames and heat waves around her.
Qingxu quickly stopped and said: Stop, that’s right! Being able to emit physical energy by yourself is at the level of the Demon King. Among humans, it is called the King of Martial Arts. How old are you? Qingxu asked again?
The girl put away the flame and shook her head and said: I feel like I have been wrapped in flames and burned three times. I don’t know if I am three years old.
Qingxu was frightened when he heard this. What was the concept of a three-year-old demon king, and what state would he reach as an adult? Demon emperor, or demon god, Qingxu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Qingya said from the side: Is there any heavenly justice? I am over thirty and have not yet reached the level of Martial King. She is the Demon King at the age of three?
The little girl looked at Qingya and said: It has been almost the same as now since I can remember. Qingya suddenly felt that there was no point in living.
Qingxu was even more shocked. He was born a demon king! What kind of monster is this little girl?
Thinking of this, Qingxu hurriedly ordered the guards not to talk about the little girl to the outside world, and then said to Qingya: Don't let others know about the little girl, otherwise it may bring us great disaster to destroy the country!
Qingya said: What about the emperor?
Qingxu said: The fewer people know, the safer it is. I'm afraid that if the emperor knows it, it will be bad if he accidentally reveals it to the people next to him. The fewer people know, the better!
Qingxu looked back at the little girl and said: It's okay to let you live here, but can you please not reveal to others that you are the Demon King?
The little girl thought for a while and said: Yes, yes, but you can't always use it. I feel like what else do I have to do when I come here?
Qingxu asked with a headache: How long will you stay in Gale Country?
The little girl blinked her big eyes and started shaking her head again!
Qingxu looked helpless, thought for a while and said: Well, if you don't encounter danger, you can do it without using it, and you can't let others know about it. Can you do it?
The little girl nodded and said: This should be easy to do.
Qingxu wanted to say in his heart, this is a big deal! In my memory, there has been no legend about being born a demon king in the Gale Kingdom for thousands of years!
I might as well let other countries know about this, but the time has come for our Gale Country to be destroyed. Which country doesn’t want such a demon king?
No, this matter must not be spread out, so Qingxu solemnly told Qingya, the little girl and a few personal guards that this matter must not be known to anyone else.
Qingxu thought for a while and said to Qingya: If anyone asks about the origin of this little girl, Qingya, just say she is your daughter. It just so happens that you have been married for four or five years, so others will not suspect anything even if they are suspicious.
Qingxu looked at the little girl and said, "Okay, okay? It just offends your status as the Demon King."
The little girl said nonchalantly: It's okay, I can feel that you two have no ill intentions towards me, I can feel it!
Qingya said in surprise: You can feel it all.
Qingxu said: Maybe it’s one of the demon king’s innate magical powers. By the way, do you have other innate magical powers?
The little girl thought for a while and said: I can only control flames, but I don't know how to control other energies.
Qingxu said in his heart: If you have other talents and magical powers, how can others survive?
Qingya smiled broadly and said: "It feels pretty good to have the Demon King as my daughter!" After saying that, he bent down and touched the back of the little girl's head.
The little girl also squinted her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled at Qingya.
Qingya said happily: Haha! I have a daughter, please call her father.
The little girl wasn't annoyed at all. Although she wasn't used to it yet, she still timidly called Qingya "Father".
Suddenly Qingya couldn't be more happy, he was jumping up and down with joy, because he had been married for four or five years and still had no children.
Qingxu couldn't stand it anymore and said to Qingya: When you go home, you have to think about how to tell your wife about the origin of such an eldest daughter, right?
When Qingya heard this with a smile just now, he thought of the tigress at home and suddenly felt that he might not see the sun tomorrow, so he hurriedly looked at his teacher for help.
Qingxu also had a headache. After thinking for a while, he said: Just say that she was the daughter left behind by your subordinates who died in the battle on the border, and you adopted her on your behalf. Well, that's right. Don't let it slip.
Qingya said worriedly: Is this possible? If my wife knows that I lied to her, then I will die for the country!
Okay, then you can be considered a martyr, Qingxu joked.
Ah! Master doesn’t do this! I suspect you are not my real master, Qingya protested with some sadness and indignation.
