Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Under these gazes, Lin Yu and the others walked for about twenty minutes.

After passing through a large commercial area, a river came into view, and on the other side of the river was a small city.

This is the inner city, which is the part of the imperial palace.

Compared to the entire Tushan, the inner city palace occupies a relatively small area.

But it was the most heavily guarded place, because behind the palace stood the towering, shady Bitter Love Tree.

In Tushan, whether it's the royal family or anyone else, if there's one thing that's most important, it's always the same: the Bitter Love Tree.

The reason why the Tushan fox demon clan was able to establish itself and create a demon kingdom was entirely due to this.

Here, even a demon king, let alone a great demon king, can only stay put obediently.

Despite Tushan's current weakness, many powerful demons still reside in the city.

Every being that can be called a great demon basically possesses the strength of a great demon king.

There were dozens of scattered powerful demon kings, plus some of the resources that Tushan itself possessed.

This is why Tu Shan Hong Hong said before that once you reach Tu Shan, you will be safe.

Even the Dao Alliance cannot ignore this powerful force and directly break ties with Tushan.

Along the way, Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong were constantly busy, actively introducing the scenery of Tu Shan to Lin Yu.

"That's Yaoxinzhai, their pastries are delicious!"

"These houses near the river are only for friends of Tushan to live in. They are basically all powerful demon kings. They are waiting for their destined partners here, and they are also a line of defense for Tushan."

"The palace is just behind here, and behind the palace is the Bitter Love Tree."

Tu Shan Rongrong is young, so it's understandable that she tells Lin Yu everything, but Tu Shan Honghong doesn't seem to mind at all.

Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was listening to the conversation, secretly glanced at Lin Yu and then at her older and younger sisters, and a question arose in her mind.

She didn't have any ill feelings towards humans.

However, out of consideration for her sisterly relationship, she remained quite wary of Lin Yu.

The fact that the two sisters seemed to have been bewitched made her even more wary.

As a member of the royal family, Tu Shan Ya Ya has witnessed many deeply moving love stories due to her reincarnation and continued destiny.

Similarly, I've also seen quite a few infuriatingly scumbag men and women.

These guys are so good at deceiving people that they can bewitch them completely, making them willing to risk their lives for them.

Tu Shan Ya Ya now suspects that Lin Yu might have done something unknown to others, perhaps because Tu Shan Hong Hong and Tu Shan Rong Rong did something else.

How could they possibly be so open and honest with someone who has just come to Tushan, telling them everything without worrying about the other person leaking secrets?

Upon arriving at the palace, the other great demons departed, leaving only the Silver Moon Guards who, like ninjas, dispersed into the palace and disappeared.

The two sisters, familiar with the place, led Lin Yu towards their room.

Tu Shan Ya Ya puffed out her cheeks, looking at the scene with a somewhat angry and depressed expression.

Even though he had been missing for so long, I was worried sick.

Over so many days and nights, not only did I work tirelessly on official business, but I also had to urge people to be found everywhere.

After all that trouble, you finally came back, but you didn't even have time to say a few words to me?

They just kept circling around that human!

However, while Tu Shan Ya Ya was feeling depressed, she was also quite puzzled.

What exactly happened to make their older and younger sisters so close to this human?

Tu Shan Ya Ya rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought. Her chubby face scrunched up into a little bun, making her look both cute and amusing.

"Honghong! Rongrong!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

A graceful figure in emerald green appeared at the doorway.

"Xiao Ling!"

Tu Shan Honghong's eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, and she suddenly stood up and walked towards her.

"You're finally back! That's great!"

"Let me check if you're injured. Where have you two been? Do you know how worried we've all been these past few months?"

As Tu Shan Hong Hong's closest friend, Cui Yu Ling was overwhelmed with excitement upon seeing her friend return safely.

Just as she was about to open her arms wide and give her best friend a big hug to express her excitement.

As if she knew exactly what Tu Shan Honghong meant, she grabbed her hand and excitedly dragged her into the room.

"Lin Yu, this is the friend I was talking about, the most famous physician of our demon race, the patriarch of the Leech Demon clan, Cui Yuling!"

"Xiaoling, quickly check his injuries. You must heal him no matter what. He's our savior!"

Before she could figure out what was going on, Cui Yuling was pushed in front of Lin Yu with a blank expression.

Something seems a little off from what she expected.

Given their relationship, shouldn't they first express their joy at being reunited after so long?

She wasn't even given a chance to speak before being dragged over to treat someone else.

"Sister Ling, please! Brother Lin Yu was injured while saving us!"

Tu Shan Rongrong spoke earnestly, her eyes full of pleading.

"no."

Cui Yuling subconsciously looked towards Tu Shan Ya Ya, and seeing her puffed-up cheeks and angry expression, she was even more confused.

However, as a doctor, he instinctively nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand."

"Don't worry, I'll diagnose it now."

Cui Yuling said helplessly.

"Actually, I'm fine. They're just a little too worried."

Lin Yu noticed Cui Yuling's confusion and smiled to defuse the situation.

"It's alright, it's just a diagnosis, it won't waste any time."

At this moment, Cui Yuling turned her gaze to the protagonist of all this.

The young man in front of them had just been through a fierce battle; his bare upper body bore many signs of fighting and bloodstains.

The muscles, with their sharp, angular lines, emitted a faint, eerie glow, as if they were forged from metal.

His resolute face, with its sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was framed by a gentle smile.

At first glance, it gives a very friendly feeling and is full of masculine energy.

'He's a handsome guy.'

Cui Yuling mentally complained, then said, "To put Honghong's mind at ease, let's take a look."

As she spoke, Cui Yuling reached out her slender hand and grabbed Lin Yu's wrist.

Seeing this, Lin Yu didn't intend to say anything more and let Cui Yuling's wrist fall down to take his pulse.

The slender fingers landed on Lin Yu's wrist, and a strong, powerful pulse was immediately felt.

In no time, Cui Yuling looked at Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong with a strange expression.

"How about it?"

Is his injury serious?

Tu Shan Honghong asked with a worried expression.

"If I had to put it in perspective, I think he could go toe-to-toe with the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor Shi Kuan right now."

Cui Yuling let go of her hand, looking at Tu Shan Honghong with a "you're kidding me" expression.

"Eh?"

Tu Shan Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lin Yu.

"I already told you that I'm actually fine, it's just that I've been a bit overworked."

Lin Yu shrugged and blinked innocently.

"But you vomited blood before."

Tu Shan Honghong hesitated before Lin Yu smiled and said...

"It's a self-inflicted injury ploy, don't take it too seriously."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Honghong immediately realized that Lin Yu was referring to Feng Qi.

After receiving confirmation from Cui Yuling that Lin Yu was alright, Tu Shan Honghong finally felt relieved.

Just thinking about the scene when Lin Yu met Feng Qi before made her feel inexplicably discouraged.
