Chapter 79 The Dream Temple Opens, Hunting the Successors of the Demon God

(Thanks to sqwchj and Lemonade for their donations)
……

Moonlight's gaze swept across the demon camp, finally settling on eight figures not far from Moonlight and Leng Xiao.

The leader was a tall, slender young man with black hair, eyes as dark as ink, and a composed demeanor.

It is none other than Abao, the successor of the Demon Emperor!
Although the others were in human form, they could not hide their demonic features: some had sharp horns on their foreheads, while others had scales on their skin; all were successors of the former ten demon gods.

(Except for the seventh demon god Ananda, who has no clan, the successors of the first ten demon gods have all gathered here...)
Originally, he didn't intend to take action against the demons in Dream Paradise because of the meaningful look from Demon Emperor Feng Xiu.

But now that the old father has spoken...

He readily accepted the order!
(If Haochen could devour the Crown of Inheritance of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan...)
The thought flashed through Yuehui's mind, yet it stirred an indescribable excitement within her.

He hadn't forgotten how A Bao had abandoned him and run away in the Thunder Emperor's Secret Realm!
In Moonlight's little notebook, the first page has Abao's name on it!

Just then, as if sensing something, A Bao's sharp gaze shot over like lightning.

The moment their eyes met, A Bao was slightly taken aback—the human man before him was so handsome that he was almost otherworldly, with purple hair and purple eyes, and he even bore a resemblance to the Moon Demon Clan.

In a daze, he seemed to see the figure of the "brother-in-law" he had met in the Thunder Emperor's Temple again.

(No, that's impossible...)
Abao's eyes sharpened, and he quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

(Ahui has long since perished. Although the person before me looks similar, his aura and power are completely different.)
……

"Why not just fly in?" Huang Shuo frowned, his voice low.

Ling Xiao sneered, "Go ahead and try. This is the territory of the Dream Temple, where every inch of land is protected by the Goddess of Nature."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Trying to fly over from the sky? Unless your Demon God Emperor personally intervenes."

Huang Shuo's pupils contracted slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Then let's walk."

The two teams entered the forest boundary one after the other.

In an instant, the air became exceptionally clear; it wasn't just ordinary freshness, but a purity that could cleanse the soul.

The fragrance of plants and trees soothes the soul, bringing peace to the mind.

The chirping of insects in the forest was exceptionally clear, and the magical elements such as water, earth, and light became exceptionally rich.

Long Haochen took a deep breath: "This feels so good."

As the Child of Light, he felt as if he were returning home as soon as he entered the forest, and a faint golden glow appeared on his skin.

Yuehui noticed his change and turned to look at Cai'er with concern: "Cai'er, are you alright?"

He knew that Cai'er, as a member of the Grim Reaper's retinue, possessed spiritual power of the death attribute, which was completely opposite to the nature of the Goddess of Nature's power.

Cai'er gently shook her head: "I'm fine. The goddess of nature seems very forgiving."

Although she didn't feel the same sense of homecoming as Long Haochen, she didn't feel any discomfort either.

Unlike humans, the situation for demons is much worse.

Although the goddess of nature embraces all things, she rejects dark creatures like demons.

It can be clearly seen that black demonic energy is emanating from each demon, resisting the erosion of the natural energy.

They all frowned. If Huang Shuo hadn't been restraining them, they probably would have already started destroying the surrounding plants.

"Hurry up," Huang Shuo said to Ling Xiao in a deep voice, his voice filled with suppressed frustration. "My people and I hate this place. If we delay any longer, I can't guarantee that I can still control them."

Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged: "Go ahead and try. Although our cooperation is temporary, since you have kept your promise, we naturally won't play any tricks."

He paused, his tone turning cold, "This is the final reminder: this is the abode of the Goddess of Nature. If you dare to damage even a single blade of grass or tree here, and are thus punished and unable to enter the temple, then you will be reaping what you sow."

Huang Shuo's brow twitched violently, but he quickly regained his composure and said nothing more.

……

After trekking for more than an hour, the dense forest suddenly parted to both sides, and the view suddenly opened up. At the end of the towering ancient trees was a continuous stretch of low shrubs.

When this scene came into view, even the usually aloof demons couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This is a true kingdom of flowers—tens of thousands of flowers bloom in competition on tens of thousands of square meters of low shrubs.

Delicate pink, luxurious purple, fiery red – flowers of all colors sway gracefully in the breeze.

With each step, a new fragrance permeates the air. The thin mist in the air filters the sunlight into a soft halo, draping this sea of ​​flowers in a dreamy veil.

"So beautiful," Cai'er sighed unconsciously.

After more than a month of recuperation, the backlash from the Reincarnation Furnace has subsided, and his eyes, now bright again, reflect this magnificent scene.

Yuehui turned to look at her: "If you like it, how about I build you a flower valley someday?"

Her voice was gentle. "We can stay there."

Cai'er nodded subconsciously, then realized the deeper meaning in his words, and her ears turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about? We still have to take charge of the temple."

Yuehui smiled but didn't say anything more. He simply put his arm around Cai'er's waist.

(Just wait, that day won't be long.)

...

In the demon camp, Yueye and Lengxiao witnessed Yuehui and Cai'er's public display of affection.

"Sister Yue, it's them, isn't it?" Leng Xiao lowered her voice, her pink eyes sparkling with curiosity.

A slight smile played on Yueye's lips: "Yes, didn't you say you were going to snatch him away?"

Leng Xiao's ears immediately turned red: "That, that was just a joke!"

She leaned closer to the moonlight, lowering her voice even further, "But why is he here?"

A deep meaning flashed in Yueye's purple eyes as she softly said, "This is the arrangement of your father and your father, the emperor."

She lightly touched Leng Xiao's lips with her fingertip, "Remember, you can't even tell your brother."

Leng Xiao immediately pursed her lips, nodded emphatically, and the curiosity in her eyes was replaced by solemnity.

……

Ling Xiao suddenly raised his arm, and the entire group immediately stopped behind him.

Before them lay a tranquil lake, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the drifting clouds in the sky.

"We're here, this is it." Ling Xiao's voice echoed across the lake.

Huang Shuo squinted and looked around: "Here? I don't see any Dream Temple."

“The bottom of the lake.” Ling Xiao pointed to the calm surface of the lake.

Huang Shuo frowned: "Go diving?"

"Hehe." Ling Xiao suddenly turned his head, a few smile lines appearing at the corners of his eyes. "Diving can indeed lead to the Dream Temple, but..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, "If it were as simple as diving, would we have to wait a hundred years?"

"What's in that lake? A seal?" Huang Shuo's voice turned somber.

Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out her right hand, gently rubbing her index finger and thumb together: "Why should I tell you?"

Huang Shuo's expression was uncertain, but in the end he took something out of his pocket and slammed it heavily into Ling Xiao's palm.

Seeing this, Yuehui's eyes flashed with amusement, and she gave Huang Shuo a meaningful glance.

(If I remember correctly, in the original timeline, Long Haochen stole a full ten dragon crystals from him...)
(Xiao Lin's snacks are almost finished, I'll grab a few more when we leave the temple!)
