Chapter 639: The Demon Princess

Another faint disturbance arose deep within the palace. Immediately afterward, the Silver-Winged Demon General, acting as a messenger, asked, “What changes have occurred among the Witch Clan over the years?”
Clearly, this was because Su Che had just mentioned the Witch God, arousing the Origin Demon King’s interest.
Yet Su Che was also curious: Could the Origin Demon King not speak? Or did he disdain to communicate directly with us, hence needing the Silver-Winged Demon General as a messenger?
With such suspicions, Su Che briefly described the changes in the Witch Clan—in no more than five sentences.
“Just after entering the Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, the Witch God has already reached the pinnacle of Immortal Sovereign status…”
After hearing Su Che’s account, the Demon Princess whispered, “Is the Immortal Realm really that good?”
“I’ve never been to the Immortal Realm. You should ask them,” Su Che said, gesturing toward Lin Jiu and the others behind him.
Lin Jiu’s eyelids twitched again. Every time Su Che pointed at him, he felt like Su Che was trying to trick him…
“Coincidentally, I’ve never been there either!”
The Demon Princess spoke with evident enthusiasm, “If you’re that person, you can take me to the Immortal Realm. Then I can see for myself what it’s like.”
Su Che remained silent, thinking to himself, “You’re an Origin Demon. Once you show up in the Immortal Realm, no matter how powerful you are, you’ll surely be destroyed. You must have some common sense, right?”
Such thoughts could only be kept to oneself—there was no need to say them and provoke her.
However, the Demon Princess refused to let go of Su Che and pressed further, “Why are you silent? Could it be that you don’t want to take me to the Immortal Realm?”
Su Che frowned, thinking that this Demon Princess must be spoiled. She spoke without thinking, saying whatever came to mind. Was she naive, or was she doing it on purpose?
But all he could say in response was, “Taking an Origin Demon to the Immortal Realm would cause me so much trouble. Especially someone like you, a Golden-Winged Demon King… For such a dangerous task, why would I do it unless there’s a sufficient reward?”
“You want a reward?”
The Demon Princess slowly approached, her face, filled with evil beauty, bringing it close to Su Che’s as she asked in a deep voice, “What reward do you want?”
At that moment, Su Che really wanted to shout toward the depths of the palace at the Origin Demon King, “Your daughter is being so reckless. Why don’t you stop her? Isn’t she spoiled beyond measure?”

The problem is that the Origin Demon King showed no reaction at all, allowing his daughter to act recklessly here without ever addressing the real matter. Could it be that in their eyes, humans are just pets like cats and dogs that can be toyed with at will, or poultry like chickens and ducks that can be slaughtered freely? That’s why they don’t take it seriously at all? The demon princess’s grotesque face was now less than a foot away. Filled with anger, Su Che not only didn’t dodge but also spat out a stream of crimson flames. Boom! The flames couldn’t even reach the demon princess; they exploded in the space between their two faces, like crushed fireworks that could only bloom in a flat plane, or like a paper-thin flame screen separating Su Che from the demon princess… The scene was utterly bizarre! It made people like Lian Yi extremely nervous. While their hearts tightened, they also felt some admiration for Su Che—this kid was incredibly bold, daring to do anything! “Giggle, giggle, giggle…” The demon princess’s unique laughter, like metal clashing, rang out again. She stepped back a few steps to restore normal distance, then pointed at Su Che and said, “I really want to crush you right now, but I can’t bear to waste such a fun toy. Do you understand?” Understand? You’re mentally twisted! Su Che grumbled inwardly but said to her on the surface, “Can’t we talk about the real matter? Stop acting like this?” Unfortunately, Su Che’s request wasn’t met with any response. No sound came from the depths of the hall, and the Silver-Winged Demon General stood motionless like a statue, almost silent. “Talk about the real matter?” The demon princess seemed enraged. In an instant, she grew from human height to a giant demon over ten zhang tall. With a whoosh, her magnificent golden wings spread out, almost completely blocking Su Che and the others’ view. “Do you think I don’t deserve to talk to you about serious matters?” The demon princess’s voice rose by dozens of times as she shouted at the Silver-Winged Demon General, “Aozhuo, do you think I have this right?” “Of course!” the Silver-Winged Demon General replied respectfully, “Princess, you are the most powerful Golden-Winged Demon King in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. It’s just that you don’t like to get involved in too many things.” What? Su Che was shocked—this foolish woman was actually the strongest fighter in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield? Truly unexpected! Whoa!

The demon princess instantly reverted to Su Che’s height, her anger disappearing in an instant as she asked triumphantly, “Well, idiot? Do you understand now?”
“How many Golden Winged Demon Kings are there in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?” Su Che’s question was completely random and unrelated to her earlier question.
“Five!”
The demon princess replied, “All of them are of royal bloodline… Why do you ask?”
“Is the Immortal-Demon Battlefield extremely boring? Have you had enough of staying here?” Su Che’s questions were erratic, ignoring whatever she was saying.
Yet this approach seemed highly effective against the demon princess. She immediately replied, “That’s right. I really want to go out and see the outside world, anywhere will do.”
The Immortal-Demon Battlefield might seem vast, but for someone as powerful as a Golden Winged Demon King, it was like a small village in a valley—just a tiny place. The demon princess was filled with endless curiosity and longing for the outside world…
“It’s not hard to fulfill your wish. If I can bring people in, I can take you out too!”
Su Che finally brought the conversation back on track: “But the condition is that I must figure out what my own opportunity is here first.”
“Old man, do you know what his opportunity is?”
The demon princess immediately turned and shouted toward the depths of the hall.
Huh…
A faint ripple was heard—the Origin Demon King had replied.
The demon princess tilted her head, thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll send you to a place. You’ll have to find your own opportunity. But I can’t guarantee you’ll all come out alive. Especially you—you must retrieve something from inside to earn our approval!”
“What thing?” Su Che asked.
“You’ll understand when you see it,” the demon princess replied mysteriously. “Maybe it’s that very thing calling you.”
“Alright, then send us there,” Su Che nodded calmly.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. That place is extremely dangerous for you. In my opinion, it’s highly likely you’ll all die there.”
The demon princess said with a smirk, “Now that I’ve said that, do you still dare to go?”
“What will happen if we don’t go?” Su Che asked her with a strange tone.
“You’ll die after suffering greatly!” The demon princess replied bluntly.
“That’s obvious!”
Su Che shook his head and sighed, “Talking to you is really exhausting!”

Go, and it’s a life-or-death struggle; stay, and there’s no chance of survival. What choice remains? Need I say more?
