Chapter 838: Who Wants to Duel with Swords?

The Demon Emperor sent the two of them off the island.

Elder Dai turned back and said, "The last time we met, your heart was filled with resentment. But now, you're quite different—there's even a trace of his presence about you. It seems your appearance here is tied to the unresolved grudge over the fall of Xia Country. Regardless of the outcome, to see you overcome it is, at the very least, a fortunate thing."

The Demon Emperor bowed slightly. "Thank you for your kind words, Imperial Concubine."

Elder Dai waved her hand. "Xia Country has been gone for a thousand years. You are no longer a prince, and I am no longer an imperial concubine. Do not call me that again."

"Very well, Elder Dai."

In this meeting, the arrogance in his presence had significantly diminished. He even refrained from referring to himself as "孤" (solitary), presenting himself instead as Xie Zhanghe. His intentions were clear.
