World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1961 - 889: Visit from Crown Prince Motuo!

Chapter 1961: Chapter 889: Visit from Crown Prince Motuo!

After finishing, Lanling helped his son put on his pants, then let him sit on his lap and asked, "You’re so young and already peeking at your sister, did you find it nice to look at?"

Zhi Yu shook his head and said, "Not nice at all, ugly to death!"

Fang Qingzhuo’s eldest daughter, who had been curiously looking at Lanling, trying to match him with the uncle in her memories, was immediately infuriated upon hearing Zhi Yu’s words and said, "I’ll fight you!"

Then, she launched herself with claws outstretched.

Lanling let the little girl’s small fists pound on his son’s back and butt while he asked, "If it wasn’t nice, why were you peeking?"

Zhi Yu wiped away his tears and said, "Mom always calls you a heartless womanizer, since I’m your son, of course I have to be like you!"

This explanation was so strong that Lanling was left speechless.

Fang Qingzhuo couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then quickly covered her mouth. She hadn’t changed a bit, looking almost identical to how she did seven years ago.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ning, as if electrified, seemed activated and felt an urge to spank her son again.

Such a little rascal, ever since you were born, how many times has your dad held you? Yet, you think about him every day and even try to imitate him on purpose. I don’t even talk about the hardships I endured over ten months of pregnancy, and after you were born, I treated you as my lifeline. But you treat me like an enemy.

Filled with anger, Zhi Ning sat directly on the chair, covered her face, and cried. She cried and said, "Alright, now that you father and son have reunited, I’m an unnecessary person. Take your son away. I can live with my sister-in-law and two nieces, I don’t need you two."

Her words were originally meant in spite, but Fang Qingzhuo’s two daughters contradicted her instantly, cheering, "We also want to go with Uncle, we also want to go with Uncle."

Zhi Ning got even more upset and cried even harder.

"Don’t make trouble, go out with mom," said Fang Qingzhuo, pulling her daughters to go out, leaving space for Lanling and Zhi Ning.

"Zhi Yu, go out with Aunt, let Dad and Mom talk," Fang Qingzhuo said as she came over to take Zhi Yu away.

"No..." Zhi Yu clung tightly to Lanling’s neck.

Lanling said, "Didn’t you want Dad to get revenge for you? You go out, and Dad will spank Mom’s butt for you, okay?"

"Okay, okay..." Zhi Yu happily got down from Lanling’s lap and followed Fang Qingzhuo out, but before leaving the doorway, he turned back and said, "Don’t think you can trick me because I’m small. You two are going to do something embarrassing, not fight!"

Then, he made a face and followed Fang Qingzhuo out.

Inside, only Lanling and Zhi Ning were left!

...

"I’m sorry..." Lanling walked to Zhi Ning’s side, his voice gentle, then softly embraced her.

Zhi Ning’s delicate body stiffened slightly, instinctively wanting to pull away, wanting to put on a cold face again, but her body was far more honest than her thoughts, nestling into Lanling’s embrace.

"I’m sorry for these past years!" Lanling said again as he gently rubbed Zhi Ning’s neck and buried his nose in her hair.

"You’ve changed..." Zhi Ning said, "In the past, you would’ve never spoken with such a tone, you would’ve never let your momentum weaken."

Zhi Ning lazily lay in Lanling’s arms, stroking his face and said, "You’ve become uglier and older!"

In fact, he hadn’t. Lanling was more handsome, exuding an air of mysterious nobility and imposing majesty, with an energy aura that was mesmerizing.

But... Zhi Ning wasn’t wrong.

Others looked at Lanling’s exterior, but the woman who loved him deeply almost ignored his face, his expressions, and looked directly into his eyes.

"I still like the old you, domineering and unreasonable. Even if you weren’t so powerful, you pretended to be," Zhi Ning gently caressed Lanling’s chest with her jade hand and said, "I don’t like you like this now."

Previously, Lanling would never have understood Zhi Ning’s words.

Zhi Ning wasn’t saying she didn’t like him; she was feeling sorry for him!

The old Lanling was domineering and overbearing, not compromising even with the closest woman like Zhi Ning. If you want to leave, leave, if we don’t agree, I’ll f*** you until you do.

Such a Suo Lun might hurt women, but he was carefree.

And now, Lanling was filled with guilt towards Zhi Ning, filled with familial affection, burdened with many things, making Zhi Ning feel a deep compassion for him.

Therefore, she said she preferred the old domineering Suo Lun. It’s not that she really liked it, but she felt pained by Lanling’s weariness and sorrow.

"Actually, when I heard about the Flame Demon Banner and that there was a Lanling in the Flame Demon Empire, I internally felt that person might be you. I knew it before the Witch Queen and before Di Nie," Zhi Ning said. "But I wouldn’t actively look for you. I waited for you to find us. After all, I loved you so much, and you didn’t love me that much; that was the dignity a girl on the weaker side of affection should have had. But now I regret it, I should have gone to find you early, so your spirit wouldn’t age so quickly!"

As she spoke, Zhi Ning’s tears kept flowing.

Her words once again struck Lanling’s heart.

After being killed by Zhi Yan, Lanling was resurrected in the Southern Barbaric Lands. He desperately tried to regain his vigor, but his heart grew older by the day.

What marks an aged heart, a wearied spirit?

It’s when you don’t care much about everything around you anymore. The only thing he cared about was returning to the Human Kingdom and destroying the Dragon Temple. In terms of emotions, he was wholly numb.

Rescuing Yaya and adopting her as a goddaughter was an attempt to desperately keep his emotional vitality, but it was hard.

He acknowledged Suo Mo as an uncle, married Dina, and had a son with Dina.

However...

Whether it was Suo Mo, Dina, or even the son he had with Dina, none of them could stir Lanling’s emotions.

Lanling wanted to love them, but he couldn’t; his heart remained numb.

Dina knew this as well and tried desperately to warm Lanling’s heart, but could not succeed. Even with the son Lan Suo, it didn’t work.

So, although Lan Suo was his biological son, the time he spent close with Lan Suo was very brief.

The Flame Demon Empire was his empire, the place where Dina and Lan Suo were was his home. But most of the time, he preferred to wander outside, without much urge to return home.

His heart seemed to have completely frozen after Zhi Yan’s sword, frozen in all the people and things before that sword.

His love also seemed to remain only with the people of the Human Kingdom.

So whatever he did, he never considered the consequences. If the Flame Demon Empire was gone, it was gone, he didn’t care too much.

This situation continued until... the appearance of Di Nie.

Nai’er’s appearance seemed to awaken his emotions, making his heart not so numb.

And today, the reunion with Zhi Ning and her son made his heart softer.

It made him deeply feel that he was not alone, there was Nai’er, Zhi Ning and her son who almost shared life and death with him. Of course, there was also Dina, and Lan Suo, who shared life and death with him.

"Your son is very smart, very outstanding!" Zhi Ning said.

"I know!" Lanling responded.

Zhi Ning said, "He is gradually growing up, gradually not needing me. So when you disappear again, I will follow you."

Lanling gently hugged her and said, "You’re thin."

...

"The Grand Priest of the Holy Demon Palace with all heart, paying respects to the Demon Emperor, long live, long live, long long live!"

Within the Holy Demon Palace that almost touches the clouds, the Grand Priest led all the priests of the palace to kneel down and kowtow.

"Rise," Lanling said, "This time, I will bring back ten thousand Holy Demon Legion intact, returning them to the Holy Demon Palace!"

The Grand Priest Yixin said, "The Holy Demon Legion belongs to Your Majesty, everything within the Holy Demon Palace belongs to Your Majesty. We all breathe Destiny, decided by Your Majesty’s words!"

Lanling helped the Grand Priest Yixin to stand, then walked into this Holy Demon Palace.

Within the incredibly huge Holy Demon Palace, there was a team of priests, and the Holy Demon Legion.

But within the entire palace, there were no other buildings, only a well radiating golden light.

In this well, flows something akin to a liquid, yet similar to an energy form—that is the Divine Demon Source Spring.

This is the source of inheritance for the Witch Kingdom, the source of all power, the energy core of the entire Witch Kingdom.

This Holy Demon Palace, constructed from countless crystal stones, is itself a massive, powerful energy array.

At this moment, around the Divine Demon Source Spring, knelt dozens of women with white hair, yet still youthful in appearance.

These people were all eighty years old! Although their faces remained youthful and beautiful, their eyes were full of the vicissitudes of life, their brows and hair all white.

Seeing Lanling appear, these dozens of eighty-year-old citizens of the Witch Kingdom all kowtowed: "Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long long live!"

In a sense, all the women of the Witch Kingdom could be considered Lanling’s women, to choose freely.

So within the Witch Kingdom, any woman addressed themselves as "your servant" before Lanling.

Lanling nodded in greeting.

Then these women lifted their heads and chanted spells.

"Boom..." Suddenly, the first woman’s body shattered completely, turning to dust and vanishing.

A stream of golden light surged into the Divine Demon Source Spring.

They were returning, sacrificing, and reincarnating!

Everyone without exception, including the Witch Queen, at eighty years old had to commit suicide, returning all energy to the Divine Demon Source Spring.

This was an incredibly sacred moment. Lanling stood silently, watching this scene, witnessing this moment.

All others were lying prostrate on the ground.

Faced with this great cycle of reincarnation and sacrifice, Lanling’s heart also wanted to kneel to express devoutness and respect.

But he couldn’t kneel, because he was the supreme Demon Emperor, the highest ruler of this world!

...

Originally, Lanling planned to stay in this beautifully scenic Witch Kingdom Imperial City for a day, yet it was still impossible.

Because in his mind, Gou Li’s voice sounded.

"Master, a highly unexpected guest has arrived!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lanling asked, "Who?"

Gou Li replied, "Crown Prince Motuo!"
