CHAPTER 553
The Demon Realm Has Only One Supreme Ruler
============================================================
Su Muchan had assumed Xiao Ai wouldn't want her to sleep with the Master. After all, she knew Xiao Ai's love belonged solely to the Master.
Her tentative question served two purposes: to reassure Xiao Ai and to gauge her reaction.
Secondly, she wanted to gauge Lady Gu Ai's feelings. But it seemed Lady Gu Ai couldn't care less about which bed the Master chose to sleep in.
It seemed as long as he didn't choose her Valkyrie consort for the night, she couldn't care less…
Moreover, Lady Gu Ai was surprisingly interested in succubus imprints…
"Lord Gu Ai's world should have succubi too. When I was in the spatial rift, I saw them on the streets. Logically, demons should outnumber other races."
Xiao Ai nodded. Su Muchan was right—after all, the "Supreme" in "Supreme Lord" referred to the ruler of the demon realm. It made sense that demons were numerous.
The so-called royal families were mostly demonic too, though none would ever call themselves demons…
Xiao Ai also found it strange that anyone would call their own race demonic. The royal blood of Iriel was the lineage of great warriors—how could it be defamed?
Only those scum would dare call the royal family demonic.
But Xiao Ai wouldn't waste her breath explaining the worldview of another realm to Su Muchan.
"In Xiao Ai's world, demon blood is the lineage of warriors. But succubi mothers drain their children's strength, so their offspring are often frail and weak, lacking warrior potential. That's why in Xiao Ai's world, succubi are considered inferior bloodlines—they basically can't find mates."
Such simple words stunned Su Muchan for a long moment…
Gasp… So she was an inferior bloodline?
Only powerful females could carry on this warrior bloodline and give birth to even stronger offspring.
Even if some succubi did give birth to formidable warriors, no one would gamble with their own child. Su Muchan understood this logic after just a moment's thought.
Gasp… She had actually thought she and her master were a perfect match…
Seeing Su Muchan freeze, Xiao Ai simply smiled: "Don't take it too seriously. After all, even among succubi, you're of inferior blood~"
This seemingly careless, backfiring consolation actually eased Su Muchan's mind considerably. If that was the case, then perhaps she had nothing to worry about after all~
However, judging by Gu Ai's tone, she didn't seem inclined to continue the conversation. Su Muchan decided it was best to take her leave. Gu Ai was undoubtedly busy with countless matters, and it wouldn't be right to ask her to prioritize Su Muchan's concerns.
First, she didn't have that kind of clout. Second, Su Muchan suspected she might actually get a beating!
Though Xiao Ai hadn't hit her hard, that slap on her bottom still stung fiercely…
Just then, Xiao Ai spoke casually, as she always did: "Amber, come here."
The words had barely left her lips when a gust of wind swept through. In an instant, space seemed to tear open, and a small, towel-wrapped figure darted out, kneeling on one knee before Xiao Ai's desk.
Though it was proper etiquette to bow, Amber clearly wasn't pleased!
Drops of water clung to Amber's lashes and hair—she'd clearly been soaking in the bath when Xiao Ai summoned her with a single word!
"Master Gu Ai, we agreed Amber would rest today. You better have something important!"
Amber wore a look of utter disdain, as if she were the master. Xiao Ai, however, adopted the expression Su Cheng always used, grinning cheekily as she spoke.
"Hehe, look at Xiao Ai's memory—how could I forget Amber had the day off? Haha, sorry, sorry! But it's nothing major, won't take up too much of Amber's time~"
As she said this, Su Muchan suddenly felt a bit flustered. Damn it, Amber looked really upset!
Xiao Ai was the boss, so Amber had to swallow her anger, maybe grumble a bit at most.
But she was different. Amber didn't even indulge those Valkyries, let alone her!
Sigh… But she really wanted that new refining material for the Valkyrie armor. If she could apply that technique to the robes worn by cultivators, wouldn't it drastically reduce casualties when fighting those Apostles?
"Amber, take her away. We'll see what she has to say."
As the words fell, Amber slowly turned her golden-haired head, revealing an expression of pure kindness. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go, Miss Muchan."
Su Muchan gave an awkward smile, about to turn and follow Amber, when Su Cheng emerged from the main hall.
She immediately switched to her combat face, stepping forward to bow and greet him.
Su Muchan's attire now differed greatly from before. If her previous style had been somewhat conservative, as if she wished to reveal only her eyes, her current look was instead tropical and breezy, much like Ye Qinghan's outfit in Lingxian Hall.
As if an extra inch of fabric would suffocate her!
【Whoa… Has this guy awakened a succubus constitution? What kind of exotic vibe is this?】
"I heard everything just now. Amber, you may retire for the night. How about Mu Chan accompanying me for a stroll?"
Su Muchan, seeing her chance to escape, nodded frantically. Amber's expression alone had proven everything—she might just get beaten up…
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Su Cheng said no more. With a flick of his wrist, a spell shot forth, materializing into countless golden, translucent talismans that instantly enveloped both of them!
In mere moments, they arrived at Su Muchan's imperial palace in the Western Regions. Even compared to Su Cheng's Lingxian Hall, it was far more magnificent!
Su Cheng glanced at Su Muchan with a hint of surprise. She offered no explanation, merely scratching her head with a smile.
Su Muchan rarely had the chance to be alone with Su Cheng like this, especially within his imperial palace.
Su Cheng seemed genuinely content to simply wander around, strolling through the magnificent palace on his own. Su Muchan's palace was undeniably extravagant; perhaps at a certain age, Su Cheng might have appreciated such opulence too.
But after meeting Xiao Ai, his quality of life had taken a nosedive…
This imperial palace was nearly several times larger than Lingxian Hall. Su Muchan's private quarters alone were bigger than Su Cheng's entire Main Hall at Lingxian Palace. In many areas, Su Cheng could even spot techniques unique to noble residences, like the floating pavilion before him. It was almost immediately apparent whether these were the immortal arts of this world.
Su Cheng briefly inspected the area where Su Muchan handled her affairs. He had to admit, she seemed far more leisurely than he was. Only a handful of official documents lay scattered on her desk, and they appeared to be already processed.
"Seems like a leisurely life?"
"Master, you jest. It is only through your protection that I am able to enjoy such comfort."
Su Cheng smiled. This fellow truly lived up to being his clone entity—in many ways, he bore striking similarities to his former self.
"Only by holding the sword in one's own hands can one protect those they wish to safeguard. This principle, Mu Chan should understand, right?"
"Mu Chan remembers. Indeed, there are matters concerning this point that Mu Chan would like to seek guidance from the Master."
Su Muchan's demeanor now was nothing like the frivolousness she'd shown with Xiao Ai. Instead, she was unusually steady and earnest, conveying to Su Cheng that she was someone trustworthy and dependable.
Though Su Cheng remained utterly indifferent to such matters, he couldn't help but give her high marks for this attitude.
If Ye Qinghan was the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside—serious with others yet utterly disrespectful toward her master—then Su Muchan was the exact opposite.
It was precisely this trait that made Su Muchan so similar to Su Cheng.
"You mean the art of controlling people?"
