Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 45 No Po or Dogs Allowed
With a flick of his fingertips, Yuehui caused the lightning in the sea of ​​thunder to obediently present the Qilin egg to him.

He gently covered the eggshell with his palm, and the once dormant Qilin egg trembled slightly, emitting purple-gold lightning of the same origin as him.

"Don't worry," Moonlight said, a gentle smile curving her lips as she lightly stroked the dancing lightning patterns on the eggshell with her fingertips, "this time I will definitely take you back to the peak."

The Book of Blood Pact unfolded amidst lightning, and Moonbeam didn't hesitate to slash her palm with a lightning blade.

The moment the crimson blood droplets fell onto the contract, a dark red magic circle appeared beneath their feet, and ancient blood-red runes intertwined in the air to form a net.

As the red light surged, a bolt of purple-gold lightning crashed down.

The eggshell shattered with a crack, and out leaped a miniature Qilin, only the size of two small Lei Ji.

Its entire body is covered in amethyst-like scales, and it has spiraling lightning horns on its forehead. Although it is only the size of two small Lei Ji, it exudes a terrifying aura of a level seven magical beast.

"Yo~"

The little Qilin nuzzled against Yuehui's palm affectionately, letting out a cheerful cry.

Moonlight affectionately ruffled its little head, then turned to Little Lei Ji and Yating with a smile, "Let's go, let's loot all the good stuff in this secret realm!"

Before he could finish speaking, the space beneath his feet suddenly twisted and changed, and a teleportation array lit up without warning.

"Wait! I haven't..." Yuehui hurriedly reached out to grab something, but could only watch helplessly as the scene of the secret realm rapidly faded before her eyes.

"I don't want to leave now!!!"

……

Moon Demon Clan Palace

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the magnificent palace corridors.

"Father, is he still the same as before?" Yueye asked the maid beside her softly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

The maid bowed respectfully: "Yes, Miss Moonlight. Lord Agares has locked himself in his room for nearly a month and will not see anyone except to bring him food."

Moonlight frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She had never seen her father so depressed, as if some heavy burden was weighing him down and making it hard for him to breathe.

Just as she took a step to go and offer some words of comfort, a warm hand gently rested on her shoulder.

"Sister, let me do it."

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

...

BOOM! BOOM!
"Get out! I told you not to bother me!" came Agares's low growl, barely containing his anger, from inside the room.

"Father, it's me."

The sounds from inside the door stopped abruptly.

The next second, the door was suddenly pulled open—

Agares stared blankly at the person outside the door: his purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the crescent moon mark on his forehead shimmered with lightning.

Although her appearance has changed slightly, her eyebrows and eyes are still distinct.
"Ah Hui?!" His voice trembled. "You're not dead?"

Yuehui looked bewildered: "Father, when did I offend you?"

"Uh..." Agares' expression froze. He grabbed his son and pulled him into the room, locking the door behind him.

"It was His Majesty the Demon Emperor who said it himself: you fought against the demigod undead alone to cover A Bao's retreat, and then the secret realm closed ahead of schedule."

"Ah Bao?!" Moonlight's eyes flashed with purple lightning. "Don't even mention that treacherous Erwu Dragon!"

He recounted through gritted teeth how A Bao deserted the battlefield and escaped alone.

"Damn it!" Agares slammed his fist on the coffee table, shattering it. "The bloodline of the Demon God Emperor has produced such a coward!"

“Exactly!” Yuehui chimed indignantly.

After the initial excitement subsided, Agares suddenly grabbed his son's shoulder and asked, "So how exactly did you escape?"

"It's a backup plan left behind by the master of the secret realm."

Moonlight glossed over the details of the Thunder Emperor's legacy, only recounting the Thunder Emperor's contingency plan that led to Thanatos's death.

"So," Agares' gaze fell on the peculiar mark, "you've already completed your divine awakening?"

"Probably," Yuehui said, somewhat uncertainly.

Normally, awakening divine favor requires at least seventh-tier strength, but his inner spiritual power is still stuck at sixth tier.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

Since awakening his Moon Demon bloodline, he seems to have never tested his external spiritual power—

(Note: I forgot whether external spiritual energy can be stored in the spiritual aperture as liquid spiritual energy, so this is considered an extra one, so the protagonist is still considered to be... sixth rank?)

“Not bad, not bad.” Agares nodded in satisfaction, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

“Father, this is an ancient elixir recipe I found in a semi-mysterious realm. Please take a look and see if it still has any value.” Moonbeam took out a carefully copied handwritten scroll and respectfully handed it over. Agares took the scroll and quickly flipped through a few pages.

Although he couldn't understand the ancient writing, he could sense the profound mystery it contained:

"Very good. Although it cannot be deciphered, the fact that it was collected by a demigod must mean it has something unique about it."

After a moment of contemplation, he took out an exquisite obsidian ring from his pocket, the face of which was engraved with a lifelike image of a demonic dragon.

"What's this?" Yuehui asked curiously as she took the ring.

Agares' lips curled into a slight smile: "This was originally Fengxiu's 'compensation' for you. Now that you've returned safely, consider it a reward for these pill formulas."

"There are a few dragon crystals and some cultivation resources inside, which should be useful to you."

Moonlight's purple eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she put the ring in her pocket.

The stuff from the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon is too good to pass up!
“There is one more thing,” Agares said, his expression turning serious. “Since Fengxiu believes you have perished, continue to act as a human for the time being.”

Yuehui nodded. In truth, even if his father hadn't said anything, he hadn't intended to stay long at all—

The Moon Demon Palace is nowhere near as comfortable as my own residence among humans.

What's more, there's a sweet and soft Cai'er waiting at home.

"Father, please remind my sister not to let anything slip by accidentally," Yuehui said.

He had intended to reveal the truth that Haoyue was Austin Griffin, but he swallowed the words back.

After all, Long Haochen is considered his "nephew".

Moreover, Austin Griffin's ninth head might not be without a chance of turning things around—

With the extraordinary abilities of the Necromancer Saint, Elex, there might truly be a way to sever the connection between the Moon and the God of Divine Punishment.

(If all else fails, we'll have to sacrifice Xiao Haochen again.)
As soon as Yuehui stepped out the door, she suddenly turned around: "Father, remember to hang a sign at the entrance of the palace."

The next morning, a sign appeared prominently next to the vermilion gate of the Moon Demon Palace.

Under the sunlight, several large, elegant characters stood out prominently:
[A-Bao and the Demon Dog are not allowed inside]

……

holy city.

Morning light streamed through the gauze curtains. Cai'er sat quietly by the bed, gazing at the bright sunlight outside the window, but her eyes were dull and lifeless.

"Brother Yuehui, it's been over a month, where have you been?"

She murmured softly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

After a long while, she sighed softly, reached out and untied the ties of her pajamas, preparing to change her clothes.

at this time--

With a creak, the door suddenly opened.

"Cai'er, I'm going back..."

Moonlight's voice abruptly stopped.

In the morning light, the young girl was taking off her nightgown. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as mutton fat jade, and her slender waist and budding curves were faintly visible in the interplay of light and shadow.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

"sorry!"

Moonlight darted out of the room and slammed the door shut.

Cai'er only snapped out of her daze when she heard the door close.

She slowly lowered her head, looking at her half-undone clothes, and her snow-white cheeks suddenly flushed with a blush like the sunset.

"Fool~"

　Although no one will necessarily ask why the door wasn't locked.

　　But the author will explain the logic here.

　　First of all, as the most knightly knight in the original work, Long Haochen would not rashly barge into a girl's room.

　　As the oldest member of the team, Lu Xi naturally had some sense of propriety.

　　Therefore, apart from Chen Ying'er and Wang Yuanyuan, who are both girls, no one else would come to see Cai'er.

　　Secondly, Cai'er and the protagonist Yuehui slept in the same bed (room).

　　What if Yuehui can't get into bed if it's locked from the inside? (laughs)
　　Therefore, the door will not be locked until Yuehui returns.

　　(This is the logic behind the plot)
