Chapter 381 Seven Demons

Chapter 381 Seven Demons

In a dimly lit room, a group of people were sitting together around a table, and they were six of the seven demons.

On the head seat sat a man with blonde hair; his appearance was no different from that of a human with two huge black wings on his back, and he was none other than Pride.

The expressions of the other five demons looked serious because one of them was absent from the meeting, as Wrath was still suffering from quite serious injuries, especially his hands after Sun Xing'er crushed them.

*Tap... Tap...*

As he tapped his fingers, Pride fell into deep thought after he listened to Lust report about the previous event, and his expression kept changing.

"Do you know anything about the identity of that female fox demon, Pride?" Greed, the giant red demon with two huge evil horns on his head asked him.

Pride nodded slowly as he answered him. "That woman is indeed a fox beast, but she is not a demon fox because I have never seen a silver fox in this realm before. Like the guardian, I suspect that she and the crimson-haired woman from five hundred years ago are part of old stories."

"Old stories?" Gluttony, the fat demon, looked at him with a confused look.

"Yes." Pride then told him. "Far in the past, there were humans who called themselves cultivators, and their strength was truly extraordinary. Besides, there were many powerful beast cultivators in the human realm, and some of them were called mythical beasts. However, all of them suddenly disappeared, and only ordinary humans remained there."

"How could all of them disappear just like that?" This time it was Sloth, the sleeping demon, who asked him.

"I don't have a definite answer about that, and not even Michael has any information about their disappearance." Pride replied with a shake of his head. "After they disappeared, a guardian appeared in the human realm, and I once fought that person. Even though I used all my strength to fight that person, I still lost badly."

"What?" A female demon exclaimed in shock, and she was none other than Envy, the envious demon. "Is it true that you lost against him?"

"Yes, that person is truly powerful." Pride then continued his story. "Since then, several people have taken turns assuming the status of the guardian, and I once heard from one of them that they came from another planet outside the three realms, but that person did not explain in detail to me. Although the current guardian appears very young, she is very strong, and she is more decisive than her predecessors. That's why I don't dare attack human realms openly, or she will move to stop us and slaughter our people."

Lust then asked him. "Then what about that crimson-haired woman? Do you think she still exists in the human realm?"

"Didn't you know that she disappeared five hundred years ago? Since then, we have never heard any news about her again." The other demons' expressions became gloomy after hearing that, and Pride spoke to them again. "That crimson-haired woman is much more vicious and fierce compared to the guardian; she even slaughtered so many of our kin back then, and her actions left deep horror for our people. However, her sword is still in the human realm, and it appeared in an auction in her origin country some time ago, so I sent some werewolves to get it because one of them had a high affinity for fire. Unfortunately, all of them disappeared, and I believed that they were already dead."

Hearing that, Greed remembered something and told them directly. "Maxwell's son died in that country, and he was captured by those angels there. Besides, I also got new news that another pureblood vampire also died there, which made Erasmus angry, but I forbade him to go there, or our plans will be ruined if the guardian finds out about it."

Pride sighed after hearing that. "Actually, you don't need to do that, and I'm sure that the guardian already knows our plans after yesterday's incident."

"Does that mean you're going to delay our plans?"

"I have no other choice but to postpone our plans." Pride answered with a heavy sigh. "If that fox woman is really a beast cultivator, then she can destroy us easily. Besides, we still don't know the real situation in the human realm, so we have to rethink everything and act more cautiously."

"What if I go to the human realm again to investigate them?" Lust conveyed her idea.

Envy also said to him. "I'll go there with her."

Pride immediately agreed to their wishes. "All right, you guys can go to the human realms, but you two better not make a fuss there, especially you, Envy. Otherwise, the guardian won't let you two wander around there, and she might kill you."

"All right."

Pride then said to them. "You guys can go back now, and I will think of some other way to invade the human realms, or we will never succeed in defeating the angels."

After that, the three male demons left the room, and the two female demons went straight to the human realm.

"So, where are we going to look for them?" Envy asked her partner.

Lust pointed toward the distance. "We're going to that country, but we have to infiltrate there carefully, or the guardian will notice our presence, and she might attack us."

"Let's go then." Envy immediately flew away, and Lust followed behind her.

Several women were sitting together in a room, and Wen Xia asked Chen Wei'er. "Does this mean that Chen Li has also returned to this city?"

"Yes." Wen Xia became excited when she heard that, but Chen Wei'er's following words made her sigh. "Even so, Li'er is very busy right now, and he will marry Xian'er in a week, so he still has a lot to prepare."

"I see." Wen Xia nodded in understanding. "Even though we have started selling these products, the results are far from our target. Since Mayumi Keiko and Liu Ling'er are back now, Mu Qing and I will hold an official launch event for all our products, so we can increase our sales even more."

"En, you can arrange it, and I will tell Keiko about it." Chen Wei'er thought of another idea. "Besides, I will ask Yun Qing and Su Mengyao to participate in the event, and the event will be lively."

"That's a great idea." Mu Qing exclaimed as she clasped her hands. "Su Mengyao's fan base is already quite large, and Yun Qing's popularity is also quite decent, so their presence could boost our sales as well."

After they discussed some other matters, Wen Xia and Mu Qing left to attend to their respective work, and Chen Wei'er intended to return to Qingshui Mansion.

However, when she arrived on the first floor, Chen Wei'er saw a familiar woman standing in front of Cai Yue, and she approached them. "What are you doing here, Xinyue? Are you looking for Li'er?"

"Oh? Aunt Wei'er?" Nan Xinyue turned her head and answered her questions. "I didn't come here to look for Chen Li, but I came here specifically to meet and talk to Aunt Yue personally."

"Hmm?" Chen Wei'er then turned to Cai Yue, but was surprised to see her angry expression. "Why is your expression like that?"

"I-"

Before Cai Yue could answer her, Nan Xinyue had already told Chen Wei'er. "I'm sorry, but our matter is a private matter, so I hope you don't interfere in it."

"Even though she is an employee, she is like our family, and she has suffered for too long, so I will intervene in matters between you if it only adds to her suffering." Nan Xinyue frowned after hearing that because she didn't want others to know about the matter between them, but Chen Wei'er ignored her and asked Cai Yue. "What happened between you two? You don't need to hesitate to tell me if you have a serious problem with her or her father, and I will definitely help you solve it."

Cai Yue actually didn't want to tell anyone about it, but Chen Wei'er's sincere expression made her change her mind, and she decided to tell her the truth. "It was Nan Wei who violated me twenty years ago, and he is Yan'er's biological father."

"Huh?" Chen Wei'er was really shocked after hearing that. For twenty years, no one knew the identity of Cai Yan's father, and she finally knew the answer, but she didn't expect that her father was Nan Wei. "Are you serious about that?"

"Yes." Cai Yue nodded to her. "I've been hiding this matter for twenty years, and only Haruka Reina knew about it. Several years ago, she came to me and offered to help me and my daughter, but she was Nan Wei's wife, so I refused her help and moved to another city."

"I see." Chen Wei'er nodded in understanding and asked her again. "Do you have any proof that Nan Wei is Yan'er's father?"

Cai Yue sighed softly and shook her head at her. "Honestly, I don't think about it anymore, and Yan'er doesn't want to know her father either, so I don't want to have anything to do with him."

Chen Wei'er didn't say anything to Cai Yue, but she used her aura to grab a few strands of her hair without her and Nan Xinyue realizing it. "All right then, I won't interfere in your affairs."
