While munching on the sugar cake, Xia Lin heard the Demon King suddenly ask him, "Do you want to go back to the human world?"
Xia Lin's eyes lit up. He excitedly sprang to his feet, leaning forward towards the Demon King, and asked, "Do you mean you're willing to let me go back?" Only after he asked did Xia Lin realize something was amiss. If Lu Saling was really willing to let him go back, he couldn't just leave like that. After all, how could he complete his mission without Lu Saling? But if he didn't leave, Lu Saling would surely wonder why he was reluctant to go. Would he suspect that Xia Lin had some ulterior motive for staying by his side?
Just as Xia Lin was infinitely regretting his over - excited reaction, Lu Saling stood up and flicked Xia Lin on the head. "Of course not. You can only stay by my side until I get tired of you." This familiar gesture... left Xia Lin stunned. He blankly placed his hands on his forehead. Lu Saling thought he was sad because he couldn't go back. Seeing this, he uncomfortably turned his head and said, "Come on, stop looking so sad. When I'm free, I'll take you back to the human world. Anyway, I'm not afraid of those weak species in the human world!"
There couldn't be a better development than going back to the human world with Lu Saling. Xia Lin immediately hugged Lu Saling tightly. "Thank you! So it's a deal. Can you take me back in a few days?"
Lu Saling began to regret a little. He knew that his loyal subordinates were strongly opposed to his going to the human world because there were despicable paladins and the cult leader of the Church of Light there. Although their strength was no match for the great Demon King, what if those despicable villains used guerrilla tactics or other intrigues to harm His Majesty?
However, looking at his little pet's star - filled eyes looking at him expectantly, Lu Saling was bewitched by the beauty. "Okay... alright. I'll take you to the human world in five days. But once we're there, you have to do as I say. Got it?"
Xia Lin nodded. If he could go to the human world with Lu Saling, such a small requirement was nothing!
Sure enough, when the demon generals learned that Lu Saling was going to the human world, they strongly opposed it. Cyril glanced at Xia Lin, and Xia Lin felt as if that look was like a sword! He shrank his head and hid behind Lu Saling. The uncomfortable gaze disappeared. Great!
"I've already made up my mind. Do you think I'm a weakling who would be afraid of those paladins or elves? I'll kill anyone who comes my way. Don't underestimate me!" Meeting the intimidating gaze of the Demon King, the demon generals exchanged glances.
The belligerent Samel let out a loud laugh. "I said you guys stop worrying needlessly. Don't you know the King's strength? Not to mention those paladins, even if the cult leader of the Church of Light came in person, so what? Besides, the King is just informing us of his order, not asking for our opinions! Don't get your positions wrong!"
The other demon generals stiffened and fell silent. They lowered their heads to apologize for their overstepping. The Demon King nodded in satisfaction and praised Samel, "Samel, they all say you're just a brute who knows only how to fight, but now I think you're a very smart person."
Samel grinned proudly, gave the others an arrogant look, and said in a very annoying manner, "Thank you for the King's praise. Naturally, I'm different from those other clueless demons!"
