Within the Lion Emperor Palace, a rumour was being quietly circulated amongst the servants.
Being the land of the Lion Demons, shouldn’t the Lion Demon Emperor shower his adoration on their race’s young ones?
Even if not, there were the great beauties of the Lion Demons as well, only they could match the reputation and status of the Lion Demon Emperor, right?
Yet his Majesty maintained a hermit-like lifestyle. Except for killing, taking over and suppressing the territories, he did not seem to have any other interests. The only exception was giving that bird a gentle affection.
Countless beauties of the Lion Demon Race have been waiting for the Lion Demon Emperor’s affections, yet none found a chance.
The infatuation of countless beauties was crushed under his Majesty’s feet.
How could they not feel resentful!
It was okay if that bird was an exceptional beauty, and it could also be considered cute and likeable when it was still small in size.
Now that it has grown and revealed that bald patch of a scar on its back. Many servants have begun to feel confused.
Why would the high and esteemed Lord Demon Emperor only shower his attention on such an ugly bird?
What a mysterious taste!
Now that his Majesty was often away, his attention on that bird had also reduced slightly.
This caused the servants to develop more courage as well. The current emperor might be extremely cruel towards unloyal demons. Still, his attitude towards loyal subjects was better and actually quite magnanimous if compared against the old emperor’s.
That was why the servants started to address the bird differently behind the Demon Emperor’s back, referring to it as an ugly bird.
As time went by, this reference was soon noticed by Lord Little Yan and the Carrot Demon.
Lord Little Yan only acted surprised during the beginning but did not express any other emotions since.
On the contrary, the Carrot Demon was extremely mindful about this matter. However, with his current level of cultivation, the other demons can instant-kill him.
He was also not good at expressing himself, that was why he remained silent. Whenever he heard the servants calling Lord Little Yan as such, he would make a large pot of delicious food and then deliver it to her.
Using actions to console and roughly imply: Eat delicious food and your mood will be good.
Lord Little Yan naturally accepted those offers with smiles.
After the situation repeated several times, she was also noticing that the Carrot Demon was unable to let go and looked to be in guilt.
Lord Little Yan casually spoke when the Carrot Demon brought another pot of delicious food over.
“Do you think that I will be affected by their words and be sad?”
The Carrot Demon silently nodded, looking at Lord Little Yan with a gaze that seemed to say, I know you will be sad even if you did not speak of it.
Lord Little Yan sighed and used a wing to pat her round stomach. Since I had a good meal today and am also in a good mood, might as well guide this lost little underling.
“This lord is happy with each of the delicious food you have made for me. However, this lord was really not bothered about those little demons! Who is this lord? I am the descendant of the Ancient Phoenix Race. Although my power is still lacking now, the inheritance within my bloodline will only make me grow exponentially every day. I will naturally soar to the nine heavens.
This lord is born of noble blood and is naturally meant for outstanding achievements. To be bothered by these ant-like lesser demons will only affect my reputation! As the saying goes, individuals that are meant for great things must learn how to endure what other demons are unable to. How can such insignificant rumours affect me? If I cannot even handle such a small drizzle, how am I going to rule over the entire demon race in the future?
Rest assured Little Qing! Your master is not weak, there is no need to be so cautious every day! Just obediently follow this lord and serve me well. You will naturally not be treated shabbily in the future!”
