Chapter 1670 Meeting an Acquaintance Again!
"Oh, Your Highness is joking..."
Kil'jaeden forced an ugly smile, attempting to downplay the issue, and said:
"These two are... well, they're my kind fellow clansmen whom I met while preparing to explore the ruins."
"They are high-ranking demons who survived from the era of Demius, and witnessed the heroic figure of Demon King Hangenor seizing the throne..."
"When they heard that I was going to explore the ruins of the gods, these two people were very enthusiastic and offered to help."
"Originally, I was planning to request Your Highness to transfer a group of mid-level demons from the central region to assist, but with these two already here, I've become impatient and eager for quick results..."
As he spoke, Kil'jaeden deliberately straightened his back slightly, making his posture less hunched than before:
"I beg Your Highness's forgiveness!"
Actually, he had his own ulterior motives behind this.
The more open and fearless you appear when lying, the more credible your words will be!
really,
After Kil'jaeden made a slightly presumptuous gesture, a cold laugh rang out from Sargeras's side:
"You don't seem to be apologizing; you seem more like you're here to claim credit."
"thump."
Before Sargeras could finish speaking, Kil'jaeden bent his knees and prostrated himself on the ground, displaying the most humble posture of a subordinate before Sargeras, and hurriedly said:
"My subordinates dare not!"
"It is Kil'jaeden's dereliction of duty to have failed to discover a useful ruin for His Highness, causing him to suffer losses!"
If the previous act of deliberately taking credit was to increase the credibility of the lie.
So this current behavior is, in turn, an attempt to demonstrate loyalty to Sargeras.
It's practically like telling Sargeras the cards are upfront—
'I, Kil'jaeden, am utterly loyal!'
"Alright, alright." Sargeras wasn't stupid; he could easily see what Kil'jaeden was trying to achieve by acting like this.
The matter of the ruins was glossed over in a single sentence, concluding with the following:
"I'll personally go to the Endless Forest later to take a look. If there's something wrong with the ruins, you should commit suicide to atone for your sins."
After saying that, he ignored Kil'jaeden.
After a brief lingering look on Lu Li's face, the single-eyed gaze locked onto Evelina.
Just as Kil'jaeden described on the road,
Prince Sargeras is not only a combination of a cuckold and a traitor, but also a high-ranking demon blessed by the Lord of Lust, a native demon born in the Holy Land.
In real-world terms, he was a chosen one who failed to possess the power of "lust".
Despite his lack of understanding of the doctrines of ascension to godhood, Sargeras still followed the teachings of the Lord of Lust.
That is, to follow one's heart and indulge in desires.
Furthermore, having just learned from the sacrificial ceremony about the latest news concerning the Seven Holy Lords, and understanding that the gods had just won a significant victory in that ethereal realm, he deduced that the likelihood of them bestowing blessings in the near future had greatly increased.
This further solidified his resolve to indulge in lust and please the lecherous lord.
After all, which monster can refuse multiple blessings?
Besides, this Evelyna is a succubus!
however,
Just as Sargeras was about to get straight to the point and express his true feelings,
Scarlett the devil has arrived.
Not only did this charming and alluring "sister-in-law" arrive,
Behind her was an old acquaintance of Lu Li.
"Your Highness, the explorers under the Demon King's command have arrived."
As soon as Scarlett's languid voice fell, Lu Li subconsciously turned his head.
With just one glance, his pupils contracted slightly!
It's not someone else who comes,
It was Aura, the other demon prince she had encountered when she entered the Demon Realm for the second time and negotiated with Daly!
However, at present, Aura is just a high-level monster with a youthful appearance, and the aura emanating from him is similar to that of Kil'jaeden.
Aura naturally couldn't recognize Lu Li, especially since Lu Li was currently using Li Yun's body and had Li Yun's face.
His gaze swept quickly over the two unfamiliar great demons present, then he bowed slightly to Prince Sargeras not far away, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Your Highness, in accordance with your request to the Demon King, I have brought you new information about the unexplored ruins on the border of the Great Wilderness."
"We have a preliminary understanding of the situation and can arrange for personnel to conduct in-depth investigations."
"If you have time now, I will show you the way immediately."
"Hmm, less than three cycles in total, Aura, your efficiency is truly remarkable. No wonder the Demon Lord values you so highly," Sargeras praised with satisfaction, while also nodding at Kil'jaeden.
"Anyway, the ruins won't grow wings and run away. How about this, after three cycles, when the active period just begins, you come to my territory, and I'll set off with you."
"Yes, ma'am." Aura nodded in response and backed away from the side room.
Before leaving, he took one last deep look at Li Yun and Evelyna, as if trying to search his memory for their identities.
"Ah, where were we?" Prince Sargeras clapped his hands, pretending to have completely forgotten, and looked at Kil'jaeden.
The latter added with a wry smile:
"You said you would personally visit the Endless Forest later."
"Your Highness, I think we can set off now. After all, there's still a long time before the rest period begins, and you have plenty of time to make a round trip..."
Before Kil'jaeden could finish speaking, Sargeras coldly interrupted him:
"Kil'jaeden, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Kil'jaeden immediately shut his mouth and shook his head vigorously.
In his heart, he cursed Sargeras and Scarlett for being in cahoots, even using the same words to scold people!
“Hmm, I won’t go today. I’m finally in a good mood, and I don’t want this empty shell ruining it.” Sargeras strolled forward, leaning leisurely towards Evelina:
“Beautiful Miss Evelina, if I’m not mistaken, you have already received the blessing of lust.”
"I am also a loyal follower of the Lord of Lust."
"Would it be possible for us to move to a room and discuss the details of the blessing in more detail?"
As they spoke, Sargeras and Evelina were now less than half a step apart.
His hand became even more brazen, directly covering the woman's shoulder.
Disgust flashed in Evelyna's eyes, and she instinctively raised her arm, wanting to push away this overly familiar demon prince.
But thinking of the plan Lu Li had explained, he forced himself to hold back, forcing a smile that couldn't be more fake:
"Your Highness flatters me."
"When I first received the blessing, I was completely confused and didn't pay attention to the details. I was utterly unqualified to communicate with His Highness the Prince..."
