Ming Li watched Miao Yin Yin's retreating back, a smile gracing her lips.
In the original plot, the female protagonist also went to the Bei Lun Secret Realm this time, but unlike now, in the original plot, she went there of her own volition.
The climax of the original plot was when the female protagonist and her group encountered a berserk divine beast, a Twin-Winged Tiger, in the Bei Lun Secret Realm. To protect the female protagonist, everyone else perished under the Twin-Winged Tiger's claws.
The female protagonist was also severely injured and later fainted in a forest. She was found by the male protagonist, and thereafter, sparks of love began to fly between them.
After Miao Yin Yin had walked far away, Ming Li spoke to her Left and Right Guardians, "This Monarch is going into seclusion for cultivation. The Demon Realm is entrusted to you. If anyone comes looking for trouble, beat them back directly. If you truly cannot handle it, notify me using a sound transmission spirit talisman."
The Left and Right Guardians: ... This was still their Demon Lord, who always preferred action over words, simple and brutal.
As Ming Li got up, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "What is the current cultivation level of the Saint Son?"
The Left Guardian stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to the Lord, the Saint Son's cultivation has now reached the peak of Spirit Emperor seventh tier."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise, "Not bad. After the Saint Son returns shortly, have him capture those demons who have been causing trouble in the human realm."
Although the Demon Realm was powerful, its demons had always been quite laid-back. But at some point, some demons began to enjoy causing destruction in the human realm, which displeased Ming Li.
As she spoke, Ming Li took out a dark purple token inscribed with the character "Jun" from her space and tossed it to the Left and Right Guardians, saying, "Give this to the Saint Son."
The Left and Right Guardians, receiving the Demon Lord Token: ... Holy crap, holy crap! This is the Demon Lord Token, right?!
The Left and Right Guardians looked at the dark purple Demon Lord Token in their hands with disbelief, speechless for a moment.
Their Lord was giving the Demon Lord Token to the Saint Son. To see the token was to see the person. This meant the Saint Son was the designated Demon Lord for the next generation.
Holy crap, holy crap! They seemed to have learned something incredibly important.
After dropping the Demon Lord Token, Ming Li's figure vanished from the Demon Palace.
After Ming Li left, the Left and Right Guardians exchanged glances and began to whisper.
Left Guardian: What does the Lord mean by this?
Right Guardian: We shouldn't speculate on the Lord's thoughts, but it should be okay to gossip a little, right?
Left Guardian: Why is the Lord training the Saintess while giving the Demon Lord Token to the Saint Son?
Right Guardian: I don't know. Anyway, whatever the Lord says is right. We just need to do as the Lord commands.
Upon returning to the Demon Realm, You Zi Ling was summoned to the Demon Palace by the Left and Right Guardians.
The Left Guardian took out the Demon Lord Token and, with a solemn expression, handed it to You Zi Ling, saying, "This is from the Lord."
You Zi Ling: ... Looking at the dark purple Demon Lord Token in his hand, he remained bewildered.
What was going on? Why did a Demon Lord Token suddenly appear in his hand?
The Right Guardian looked at the silent You Zi Ling and said, "Saint Son, the Lord wants you to go to the human realm and capture those demons causing chaos."
After speaking, the Right Guardian gave You Zi Ling a look of encouragement, implying that hard work would be rewarded.
You Zi Ling: ...
You Zi Ling paused for a moment, put away the token, cupped his fists at the Left and Right Guardians, and said, "This Saint Son will now go and complete the task assigned by the Lord."
With that, You Zi Ling's figure vanished from the spot.
