Chapter 1777: Chapter 837: Her Good Karma

Ye Lingyue blinked, suddenly deploying the Divine Skills of Heavenly Fox Charm.

This enchantment worked on both genders, and Little Princess Chi Chi instantly fell under its spell.

The little one stared at Ye Lingyue, seemingly understanding, yet the impulsive flame within her was extinguished.

She wasn’t an unreasonable person, but she had been too well-protected by Empress Dowager Chi and Demon Emperor Chi Ye over the years, causing her to lose her composure in such a situation.

However, like father like daughter, Little Princess Chi Chi calmed down and clenched her fist.

She wanted to protect Beiyu Palace.

"Can I really be of use, to help mother and elder brother? What should I do? Whatever it is, I will do my best."

Chi Chi retorted.

She lacked her mother’s shrewdness and her elder brother’s valor, unable to write or fight; could she really resolve the crisis of Beiyu Palace?

"Chi Chi, first tell me about the main distribution of forces in Beiyu Palace, then think about whether there are any other secret passages or ways to contact people inside Beiyu Palace besides the escape route you used last time."

Ye Lingyue first instructed Hunyuan Ancestor to gather information before discussing with Chi Chi.

As they were deliberating, Ye Lingyue suddenly heard a rustling sound.

With a sweep of her eyes, she saw a suspicious figure behind a tree not far away.

With a slight shift of her steps, she moved aside, her hand gleaming with cold light as the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant sliced out, the sword like snow, ready to spill blood instantly.

"Spare my life, my lord, I mean no harm."

The figure evidently didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly and hurriedly pleaded.

Seeing that the opponent had no killing intent, Ye Lingyue’s sword momentum slightly relaxed, but the tip still aimed at the opponent’s throat.

Any sign of movement, and her sword would envelop several critical points on the opponent’s body, leaving no room for trickery.

A demon soldier emerged from behind the tree, dressed in war armor.

The armor, crafted from high-quality Nirvana Iron, featured a helmet shaped like a wolf head, exposing only the eyes and nostrils.

Seeing the armor, Chi Chi jumped up.

"Sister Ling Yue, beware, South Nether Wolf Army—that’s Zhan Hen’s minion!"

Ye Lingyue’s gaze turned cold, and her hand pushed the sword forward a few inches.

Could it be that their whereabouts were already exposed?

"My lord, don’t you recognize me? I was that tiger-striped cat in Xuanwu City, saved by you."

The demon soldier quickly removed the wolf helmet, revealing his appearance.

A young man of medium build, slightly frail, with short brown hair and a relatively fine appearance, had a "king" mark on his forehead.

Ye Lingyue glanced over, finding him somewhat familiar, and upon hearing his words, recalled.

"Are you that sick cat?"

Ye Lingyue was amazed, while Jiunian and Chi Chi looked puzzled.

The events in Xuanwu City were unknown to the little ones, so it was normal not to recognize the demon soldier.

Ye Lingyue herself had almost forgotten until she saw the "king" mark on the demon soldier’s forehead.

During her time in Xuanwu City, after falling out with Master Chen and others, she used Huangquan Water to save a demon beast cat, which unexpectedly advanced into a tiger-striped cat.

Back then, he hadn’t transformed yet and had only progressed to a Fifth-stage Demon Beast. Unexpectedly, in about a year, he became a soldier under Zhan Hen’s South Nether Wolf Army.

"You remember me, my lord. I’m patrolling this area by command, never expecting to encounter my benefactor, I implore you to accept my gratitude."

The tiger-striped cat was delighted and promptly abandoned his weapon as he reverently bowed to Ye Lingyue.

This tiger-striped cat indeed had great fortune; originally, it was a wandering demon cat in the Ancient Nine Provinces, injured by Demon Hunters in Xuanwu City.

At the brink of death, the sick cat luckily received Ye Lingyue’s concentrated Huangquan Water, ascending dramatically.

It transformed directly from a Low-grade Demon Beast into a Middle-stage Demon Beast.

That’s not all; when the tiger-striped cat left Xuanwu City, the Huangquan Water’s transformation of its body was only partly complete, with substantial effects still stored within.

After leaving Xuanwu City, it traveled to the Central Plains for training, eventually transforming into human form and joining a smaller tribe under the Tongtian Tribe.

Coincidentally, Ye Lingyue and others battled Demon King Tongtian during that time, and the Tongtian Tribe was occupied by Golden Horn Demon King.

The small tribe’s clan leader perished in flight, bestowing all his demonic power upon the tiger-striped cat.

Thus, the cat advanced to Great Demon, leading the remaining tribe members into the Demon World.

The small tribe was originally a branch of the Zhan Clan, and as Clan Leader, the tiger-striped cat was introduced to Zhan Hen.

Zhan Hen saw his talent and quick wit and kept him in the War Wolf Army as a vanguard.

In this battle between South Nether City and Beiyu Palace, the tiger-striped cat also traveled with the army, overseeing patrols in the area.

Today was merely fortunate; he happened to be patrolling and recognized Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but be stunned, unexpectedly reaping such great karma from her casual rescue.

Indeed, cosmic principles of cause and effect were mysteriously predetermined.

Given that the opponent was a soldier of Zhan Hen’s Wolf Army, perhaps he could be of help after all.

Over these days, Ye Lingyue had learned much about the Demon World from Chi Chi.

The strongest armies in the Demon World today consisted of three: Demon Emperor Chi Ye’s Chi Prison Army, Emperor Zhan Hen’s War Wolf Army, and Demon King Yan Li’s Yan Department, plus the tribal armies under various Ancient Clans.

Especially the Chi Prison Army and War Wolf Army, both were direct trusted aides of the Demon Emperor.

Though these two armies had only about a thousand soldiers each, their combat power was astounding, each soldier capable of fighting ten.

The tiger-striped cat could become a member of the War Wolf Army from an ordinary demon beast, which indicates his prowess.

"Oh, why does your forehead have a ’king’ mark, are you also a descendant of our Chi Clan?"

Chi Chi initially harbored hostility toward the tiger-striped cat but relaxed upon learning from Sister Ling Yue that he was an ally, curious about his demon mark.

No matter within the Demon Clan or ordinary demon beasts, tigers were incredibly fierce.

Their talent ranked only below rare Divine Beasts like dragons and phoenixes; the tiger-striped cat was a demon cat yet bore the Tiger King Pattern, a rare occurrence.

The tiger-striped cat grew excited upon seeing Chi Chi, saluting respectfully.

"This must be Little Princess Chi Chi. To be honest, I do have a trace of Chi Tiger Clan bloodline, but that was in my great-grandparent’s generation."

Interestingly enough, cats and tigers both belonged to the feline demon beasts.

Several generations ago, the ancestors of the tiger-striped cat belonged to a branch of the Chi Clan, exiled to the Central Plains due to wars.
