Keyboard Immortal

Mojard patted Salamay gently on the shoulder. “First miss, they died while fulfilling their duty. Once we rescue the Lord of Slaughter, we must repay this debt of blood to the Monster Lord. We also need to ensure that their later generations and clansmen can enjoy endless glory.”

Salamay had a distressed smile as she replied, “They’ve been secretly following me for so many years. What later generations or clansmen would they have left?”

The other subordinates had sad expressions as well. They had plotted rebellion for so many years, living a life so dangerous they didn’t even know if they would live to see tomorrow. What family would they still have?

Mojard also grew silent when he heard that.

Salamay gave her subordinates a deep bow. “All of you have really worked hard these years for my sake. I, Salamay, vow right here that once I rescue my father and reclaim the world, that the two of us definitely won’t let you all down. The entire world will be for everyone to share!”

The subordinates' declining morale immediately received a boost. They all said excitedly, “We pledge our lives to the first miss!”

Pei Mianman couldn't help but secretly say to Zu An, “This first miss is quite good at managing her subordinates.”

Yun Yuqing couldn't help but sigh in amazement as well. “She definitely has incredible charm and skill; otherwise, how could she maintain so many loyal subordinates?”

When she recalled how her own subordinates had betrayed her in the past, she felt more and more admiration.

Zu An nodded. He'd actually wanted to use this chance to understand a bit more about the Monster Lord’s strength, but these guys hadn’t managed to bring anything out of him. It really was disappointing.

Still, even though he did have some respect for the monsters who had just died, he didn’t feel any sympathy for them. After all, these monsters had already invaded countless worlds and harmed so many creatures. Even if they were completely wiped out, their deaths wouldn’t be enough to pay for their crimes.

Meanwhile, the Monster Lord drew closer. His expression finally changed. “Donaire, you actually dare to betray me?!”

Even though the previous individuals had been killed almost instantly, they'd still more or less held him up a little bit. The last piece of the formation lit up and the entire transport formation was fully activated. Everyone within was surrounded by a translucent field of light. Incredible spatial power wrapped around them. Their figures gradually grew indistinct; they were clearly about to shatter space and leave.

With a wave of the Monster Lord’s hand, a large corner of the formation was blasted apart. However, the formation’s power had already activated, so destroying it didn’t do anything.

Before Zu An could even respond, the True Demon great elder quickly said, “My lord, we were abducted by Salamay’s group! This wasn’t our intention. Please forgive us, lord!”

The other elders were so scared they began to kowtow on the ground. There was no way they wouldn't panic! They could leave through the transport formation right now, but what about the others who were still in the True Demon territory? Wouldn’t the furious Monster Lord just destroy their entire race?

They were also really depressed. They had been dragged here by Donaire without knowing anything, and then they'd somehow ended up colluding with Salamay. They'd been just fine sitting at home when this pot of accusations fell onto them from the sky!

The great elder had been grateful that Donaire seemed to have become a lot more mature. He'd felt that the future of the True Demon race could rest on Donaire's shoulders. But now, he really wanted to curse at him. This kid was leading the entire True Demon race to destruction! If not for the fact that the situation didn’t permit it, he would’ve even directly killed this little bastard to beg the Monster Lord for forgiveness!

You have successfully trolled the True Demon great elder for +666 +666+666…

Zu An didn’t pay him any attention, and looked at the Monster Lord instead. He remarked, “The lord personally came to see us off. I really am overwhelmed by the favor.”

The Monster Lord’s face darkened. When he saw Pei Mianman and the other women at Zu An's side, his expression grew even uglier. “So the problems with the underground city’s defensive formations were your doing.”

While speaking, he sent a ball of destructive energy crashing down on all of them, not resigned to give up yet. However, when it made contact with the barrier of light around them, the energy ball dissipated away into nothing. The Monster Lord was shocked. He could sense that his power seemed to have been guided into nothingness.

Zu An chuckled. “The lord is really showing me great regard. How could I have such ability?”

He'd already anticipated that he would alert the Monster Lord when he was making the formation, so he had made preparations. Actually, even if Salamay hadn’t sent out her subordinates, the Monster Lord still wouldn't have been able to do much. He'd just wanted to use that chance to test the Monster Lord’s strength a bit, while making Salamay reveal a bit more of her hidden cards. But Salamay’s subordinates were a bit too useless. They actually hadn’t been able to make the Monster Lord do a thing!

Fortunately, his other plan seemed to have succeeded. There was already a rain of fire crashing down behind the Monster Lord. A huge crack had already opened in the dome. He knew that a corner of the underground city’s formation had already been successfully broken, which would lead to more and more parts breaking. That would continue until the entire formation completely stopped working. By then, it wouldn’t just be the magma deep underground that they would have to worry about; the destructive gales outside would follow as the Annihilation Beast started to approach. This Monster World that had committed so much evil was now completely done for!

“I really did underestimate you before.” The Monster Lord gave the chaotic underground city filled with screams a look. His expression was now as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice. He gave Zu An a long look. and suddenly said, “Remember the mission I gave you. Once you complete it, I won’t touch the True Demon race. You will also be under one monster, but above all others.”

After he spoke, the three-headed bird moved its wings and carried him away, clearly to help with the city defense formation.

When she heard that, Salamay’s expression fully changed. At the same time, a bit of blinding light flickered at the center of the formation. Zu An’s group disappeared, surrounded by a mysterious power that took them across the void.

Salamay couldn't even be bothered to look at the flickering rainbow light in the void. Instead, she surrounded Zu An with her subordinates. All of them prepared to deal a thunderous strike.

When they saw this, the True Demon great elder and the other elders quickly stood by Zu An’s side. Even though they were cursing Donaire to death inside, the safety of the True Demon race completely relied on him. Furthermore, now that they were on this stolen ship, were they really going to just wait for Salamay to take them out?

“Donaire, you sold me out as expected!” Salamay hissed through clenched teeth. Her entire body shook a bit. So many of her trusted aides had died earlier. She was utterly furious and needed to vent.

You have successfully trolled Salamay for +888 +888 +888…

Zu An’s brows furrowed. He seemed to be thinking about something and didn’t pay her any attention.

When she saw that, Salamay got even angrier.

I even had thoughts of marrying him, and yet he was lying to me from the very start!

He doesn’t even feel like explaining to me!

You have successfully trolled Salamay for +999 +999 +999…

When Pei Mianman saw that, she couldn't help but ask with a cold snort, “Are you all really going to believe his provocative words, intended to drive a wedge between us so easily?”

Salamay gave her a look.

This woman really is pretty, and she gets so ‘worked up’ when she gets angry too; no wonder Donaire likes her so much and is willing to go through such danger to save her.

“Drive a wedge? That may not be the case,” Salamay calmed down and said with a sneer. “I actually always found it a bit strange. I felt that everything was going a bit too smoothly, particularly when it came to Donaire. When he was first captured by the Monster Lord, the Green Iguana King and others were killed right before his eyes, and yet he was completely fine.

“Later, when he was suspected of harming Manager Pi, even though he was proven innocent, all signs initially showed that he killed Manager Pi, who was even the Monster Lord’s most… adored subordinate. If it were anyone else, he would’ve been killed by the Monster Lord immediately.

“Furthermore, when we entered the palace to save Uncle Mo, we needed Donaire to distract the Monster Lord. We thought that would be extremely difficult, but he easily completed the task. That means the Monster Lord has put a lot of trust in him.

“I thought that he'd taken Manager Pi’s position and became the Monster Lord’s new male pet, allowing him to achieve all that. However, judging from their earlier conversation, they clearly don't have that kind of relationship. Then how did he achieve all of this? That’s something worth questioning.”
