However, thinking of Princess Yun Xuan, Ling Feng's mind conjured up that angelic yet mischievously spirited face! If she hadn't brought him into the Holy City of the Angel World back then, he probably would have been wiped out by the King of the Holy Spirits!

"Never thought the daughter of the Demon King would also have to go through such things!" Ling Feng shook his head lightly and dismissed the matter from his mind.

The main reason Ling Feng came to the Imperial Capital this time was because of the Mad Doctor; now he has confirmed that the Mad Doctor is not dead and is somewhere continuing his experiments.

But besides Fallen God Mountain, Ling Feng had no other leads on the Mad Doctor's whereabouts.

"What should be the next step?" Ling Feng felt a headache coming on, falling into contemplation.

Meanwhile, in the Royal Court, deep within the grand hall, a figure appeared atop the dais: "Lord Demon King, there is something to report!"

Deep in the grand hall, a ripple of a voice came: "What is it?"

"There's been a disturbance at Fallen God Mountain!" The person half-knelt on the ground, with head lowered, and said: "The Three-Eyed Thousand-Armed Behemoth was disturbed, and a fierce battle occurred... its eyes have been gouged out!"

"Oh? Someone actually disturbed the Three-Eyed Thousand-Armed Behemoth, which means that the Mad Doctor's avatar in Fallen God Mountain has been killed!" The Demon King's voice came, betraying no emotions of joy or anger: "I remember the Mad Doctor saying, if his avatar dies, that means that person has come… I'm quite curious now, who is the guy the Mad Doctor has been so fixated on?"

"Sir, do you want us to find him?" The person said in a deep voice: "Give me three days, and I can definitely uncover that guy!"

"Forget it! Since the Mad Doctor hasn't planned to look for him, I won't meddle either! Besides, don't you think the unknown is more thrilling?" The Demon King's voice came over: "By the way, how is the matter I tasked you with coming along? How about the preparations to awaken the Great Prison Earth Demon Beast?"

The man said in a deep voice: "Everything except for the Mermaid's Tear is prepared. We've dispatched people to the Sea of Spiritual Void, but it seems the Mermaid Clan there already sensed something. They've gone into the depths of the Sea of Spiritual Void, and our people feel they're lacking in capability!"

"That does pose a problem!" The Demon King's voice said deeply: "But you all need to speed up, reviving the Great Prison Earth Demon Beast is urgent, make sure to find me the Mermaid's Tear within three months, do you understand?"

"This subordinate will certainly accomplish it!" The man said in a deep voice.

"Then you may leave!" The Demon King said indifferently.

After the man left, from the depths of the great hall, a deeply repressed low growl resonated, and a withered hand stretched out from the depths of the hall, half black, half white, with two forces constantly swirling in its center.

"I've held on for so long, am I really unable to escape fate?" The Demon King's voice murmured, containing a trace of unwillingness and anger.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Father, Father, I have something to say to you!"

Saying this, Princess Yun Xuan rushed in, the Demon King hurriedly retracted his hand, using a steady voice to say: "Yun Xuan, this is the grand hall, what are you doing here? Why don't you leave quickly!"

Yun Xuan had a face full of discontent: "Father, I heard you issued an edict a few days ago to hold a public groom selection for me, I don't want to get married!"

The Demon King snorted coldly: "You don't want to get married? Do you think not wanting to get married allows you to seriously injure the Young Master of Holy Feather Mountain? Do you know what trouble you've gotten me into?"

Yun Xuan pouted and said: "Isn't it just because that Young Master is not a good person? I heard he just likes lingering in pleasure houses at Holy Feather Mountain, I certainly don't like such a person!"

"The Young Master of Holy Feather Mountain has extraordinary talent and a prominent family background. Even if you don't like him, couldn't you handle it in other ways? Why choose such rash and impulsive methods?" The Demon King's voice had a tone of anger: "Do you think I would really push you into the fire pit?"

Yun Xuan stuck out her tongue: "I was just anxious, can't you stop being angry with me, Father? Can't I admit I'm wrong? How about you withdraw the edict? I really don't want to get married now!"

"Hmph, can an edict be changed so easily?" The Demon King sighed and said: "Actually, the public groom selection was also proposed by Holy Feather Mountain..."

"I knew they had dubious intentions!" Yun Xuan gritted her teeth and said: "If I had known, I would have just..."

"You would have just what? Delivered a lethal blow?" The Demon King said angrily: "Although Holy Feather Mountain proposed it, I also have my own considerations! Yun Xuan, you are not getting any younger, and you've been in the Royal Court all this time, not having the chance to meet talented young men from outside. I think this is also an opportunity for you to see the outstanding youths of our Abyss Realm's generation."

"But I don't want to marry!" Yun Xuan said somewhat aggrievedly.

"That's because you haven't met someone who makes your heart flutter! This is also a chance for you!" The Demon King said solemnly: "Moreover, I'm very aware of Holy Feather Mountain's intentions. On one hand, they suggested me holding a public groom selection for you, and on the other, they certainly have the intention of undermining the competitors. Do they really think their petty scheming can hide from me?"

"If this public groom selection fails, they can have a reason to attack you, so their Holy Feather Mountain doesn't look too disgraceful."

Yun Xuan said discontentedly: "Since Father knows, then why still..."

"Isn't it because you've gone too far? You've already trampled Holy Feather Mountain's reputation under your feet. Can't I give them a step down?" The Demon King said peevishly: "This time, the public groom selection only has two outcomes. If you find someone you like, I will naturally be pleased, but if you really don't fancy anyone… I can only give Holy Feather Mountain this face!"

Yun Xuan blinked; this situation was too complex, she almost couldn't wrap her mind around it.

"So that's how it is!" Yun Xuan cautiously said: "So I don't actually have to marry? Then what am I worrying about!"

The Demon King felt some stomach pain from anger: "Yun Xuan, do you really plan to stay in the Royal Court and become an old maid?"

Yun Xuan waved her hand and said: "What's this talk about being an old maid, Father, your perspective is too outdated. I want to be like Aunt, become a dashingly modern woman! Aunt never got married either, but she's living comfortably!"

The Demon King took a deep breath: "Looks like I need to arrange for my little sister to be elsewhere soon, otherwise she might lead my precious daughter astray sooner or later!"

"Oh, by the way!" As Yun Xuan turned to leave, she suddenly asked slyly: "Father, if I really find a man I like, won't stick to you anymore, and my heart and mind will be for another man, will you really be pleased?"

The Demon King was momentarily stunned and then thought about what Yun Xuan had said, and his voice suddenly revealed a trace of killing aura: "I would be pleased to death! Really, I'm not lying to you!"
