The hidden demon king, the empress brought her child to ask for responsibility

Outside the city of Yongye, deep underground in a mountain stream

In a spiritual pond, a petite little girl closed her eyes and quietly immersed herself in the spiritual water.

The little girl looked no more than five or six years old. Although her face was as pale as paper, it was still difficult to hide her pretty and delicate face.

In the spiritual water where the little girl was immersed, various rare and precious herbs floated or soaked in the spiritual water.

Even around the spiritual pond, countless rare and precious immortal herbs were planted and piled up.

All of these immortal herbs are precious medicinal materials that nourish the soul or nourish the body.

In addition to a large number of immortal herbs, the cave was piled with various corpse parts and many semi-finished puppets that had not yet been completed.

Dozens of figures were busy refining puppets in the cave with the materials in the cave.

Some were responsible for refining the skeleton, some were responsible for tempering the body, and some were responsible for smelting other weapons or functions in the body, etc.

The huge cave seemed like a fully artificial puppet refining assembly line.

And it was this cave hidden in such a hidden depth that welcomed two unexpected guests today.

With a "boom", the cave barrier and the gate were shattered.

Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou stepped into the cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou were attracted by the scene in front of them.

Dozens of people were busy refining the puppet bodies in the cave, with clear division of labor...

Even if they broke the door, these "people" didn't pay any attention, and were still busy with the work at hand.

Ning Yechen glanced over, and the dozens of people present had empty eyes and no expression on their faces. They were all puppets!

Leave a command consciousness to the puppets and let the puppets refine puppets!

Such skills are amazing!

It seems that the person is hiding here~!

Ning Yechen, full of curiosity about the people behind these puppets, slowly stepped into the depths of the cave with Yue Qingyou.

On his way to unify the demon world, this puppet master had caused him a lot of trouble along the way.

He had tried to attack and assassinate him many times, and also wanted to snatch the soul-soothing wood from his hand.

Now he finally found the hiding place of this person!

As Ning Yechen moved deeper into the cave, the spiritual pond where the little girl was soaked also appeared in their sight.

Seeing this little girl, Ning Yechen couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

He could never have imagined that the person who disguised himself as various identities along the way and attacked him from time to time would end up being just a little girl...

The little girl quietly soaked in the spiritual water, and even though they were standing in front of the spiritual pond, there was no reaction at all.

With the detection ability of this puppet, Ning Yechen absolutely did not believe that the little girl did not notice their arrival.

Ning Yechen looked at the various immortal herbs and elixirs that nourished the body and soul in the spiritual pond, and then looked at the little girl who was sinking in the spiritual water, and suddenly understood something.

The reason why the little girl didn't react was because she couldn't react...!

"You are here."

At this moment, a tender and tender voice suddenly came from the darkness deep in the cave.

A petite figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

The little girl who walked out looked at Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou calmly, and her appearance was exactly the same as the little girl in the spiritual pond.

When Kui saw Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou coming, he looked a little surprised, but soon accepted it with relief, and asked calmly:

"How did you find me?"

"Last time you appeared as Shilu, I left a mark when I checked the fairy ring in your hand."

Yue Qingyou smiled slightly.

At that time, when she felt that there was something wrong with Shilu, she secretly left an imperceptible mark when checking her fairy ring.

It was also by following the mark that she finally found her hiding place.

Otherwise, with her ability to transfer consciousness to any puppet at will, it is impossible to find her real body!

Upon hearing this, Kui quickly took out the recovered fairy ring and found a subtle mark in the fairy ring of Shiluo.

There was no trace of spiritual power on the mark, so it was not spiritual power tracking, so she could not detect it, resulting in the exposure of the real body hiding place.

But it doesn't matter today...

"So that's it..."

Kui smiled with relief, and looked calmly at himself immersed in the spirit pond.

"My real body is immersed in this spirit pond. As long as you destroy this body, I will disappear from the world."

"Do you want to die?"

Ning Yechen heard Kui's determination to die calmly from his words, and asked curiously.

Kui was silent for a moment.

"It's about time..."

"Although my original appearance is only that of a five or six-year-old child, I have actually been immersed here for hundreds of years..."

"Since I was a child, my body has been quite special. When I was five or six years old, I stopped growing and fell into an endless long sleep. Only my consciousness was awake, but my body could no longer move..."

"In order to ensure that my body is not damaged and my soul does not pass away, I can only continue to collect medicinal materials that can nourish my body and soul and immerse them in this pool of water..."

Perhaps she has decided to die calmly, or perhaps it has been too long since she talked about herself like this to others. Kui told her past without any reservation and why she became like this now.

After her body stopped growing and fell into an endless sleep, her consciousness was trapped in her body and suffered from loneliness.

Until one day, she had a strong desire to see the outside world, just like ordinary people.

It was under this strong wish that she suddenly found that she could open her eyes.

And when she opened her eyes, she found that she was attached to a wooden puppet.

But despite this, she was already very happy and excited.

Later, after discovering that she could attach herself to the puppet at will, she began to study the puppet technique with the puppet body and refined a puppet with a physical body for herself!

Then she used the puppet body to refine other new puppets.

There are many identities of puppets, including men and women, old and young, and she also enjoyed it, constantly changing puppets to experience various identities.

But soon, she found that the body that could not eat would collapse over time, and the soul would dissipate little by little. For this reason, she could only constantly collect all the medicinal materials in the world that could nourish the body and preserve the soul.

The reason why she cooperated with the former Demon Lord was because he promised to provide her with all the fairy herbs and elixirs she needed.

In addition, he also knew where she was hiding here, so she didn't have too many choices.

However, although her body was stored in the spiritual water safely, her soul was still disappearing.

Even if Ning Yechen didn't take action, after her soul dissipated and reincarnated, her consciousness left here would also disappear...

After hearing about Kui's life experience, Ning Yechen finally understood why Kui kept looking for opportunities to assassinate him along the way and wanted to snatch the Soul-Restoring Wood from him.

With almost no hesitation, Ning Yechen directly took out the Soul-Restoring Wood stored in the fairy ring and threw it into the spiritual pond.

"You...?"

Kui was shocked and looked at Ning Yechen with an incredible face.

She didn't know how many times she had assassinated Ning Yechen along the way, and he was so generous and directly threw the Soul-Restoring Wood to her...!

"Your puppetry skills are amazing, so amazing that even Qingyou couldn't help but praise you."

"No one in the world has such skills as you. It would be a pity if you died like this."

"You want to live, right?"

Ning Yechen's last words seemed to touch the heart of the puppet.

The puppet was stunned, his heart was throbbing, his eyes were wet involuntarily, and he nodded solemnly.

"Yes...!"

She wanted to experience all kinds of life, experience all kinds of identities, and see other scenery around the world like other people!

She didn't want to die!

After getting the answer from the puppet, Ning Yechen smiled happily and turned away gracefully.

He originally wanted to find the person behind the puppet to settle accounts, but the other party's true body was just a little girl who had no power to fight back. How could he do it...

Yue Qingyou watched Ning Yechen leave with a smile, then turned around and looked at the puppet, and said:

"You should accept the kindness of Lord Demon Lord."

"If you want to repay Lord Demon Lord, let Lord Demon Lord use your superb puppetry~!"

"From now on, except for Lord Demon Lord and me, no one else is allowed to know your true body and hiding place, understand~"

"Puppet, understand!"

Puppet's eyes were cold, and he immediately understood Yue Qingyou's implication, and bowed solemnly to agree.

Not long after, the former Lord Demon Lord and all those around him who knew and recognized the puppet were assassinated by unknown people!

From then on, the only two people in the demon world who saw the real body of the puppet and knew the location of the puppet's true body were Yue Qingyou and Ning Yechen!

And Gui's mysterious identity is all over the demon world, becoming the eyes of the Supreme Demon Lord...!
