Great Demon King

After half a month of traveling, the House of Han had finally arrived at the Pandemonium.

With the nourishment of the intense elemental energies and Wood Elite Zombie’s green fingers, the Pandemonium was filled with verdant green plants, beautiful, fragrant flowers, and towering trees. The air was fresh and rejuvenating.

Other than the houses erected on ground, there was also an immense underground palace in the Pandemonium. Every hallway and chamber was fitted with magical lamps and relevant furnitures in place. There was more than enough space to accommodate every member of the House of Han.

The House of Han members fell in love with the Pandemonium almost immediately. Phoebe, Emily, and the others cried out in awe when they saw the serene, springtimey landscape.

“There are layers upon layers of defenses around the valley. Even a so-called overgod like Tyre would have trouble sneaking into the Pandemonium while an ordinary highgod will die if they try to intrude. This is the true foothold for our House of Han. All those who are in the Pandemonium are insiders. You can assimilate those souls without worrying that the public might discover it!” explained Han Shuo smilingly. He felt glad that his family members were now truly safe.

“I truly am impressed with this location. We can gain deeper insight into the elemental energies by cultivating here. Bryan, you are remarkable to have concentrated the elements in this area! It’s extraordinary!” remarked Ayermike.

“Wonderful! We will definitely progress faster in our cultivation!” In her lovable smile, Emily turned to Han Shuo and said, “After the countless hardships we have gone through, we finally have a place we can truly call home! Gone are the days of living under another person’s shadows!”

“This calls for a celebration – to say goodbye to our arduous past and hello to a bright future for our House of Han!” suggested Phoebe who was in high spirits.

Everyone became more excited after hearing Phoebe words. They voiced their agreement that they should drink and feast.

Naturally, Han Shuo agreed. With one thought, one of his demon generals flew into a round platform at the center of the Pandemonium and fiddled with one of the matrices.

Han Shuo was startled after seeing that Rose was hurt by his words. He forced a smile and said, “What are you talking about? I’m nullifying the slave contract because I do not feel the need to bind you anymore; because I now trust you without any reservation. Don’t overthink it!”

Rose raised her head, looked deeply into Han Shuo’s eyes, and asked, “Do you want me to leave?”

“Of course not. Even with the contract nullified, there wouldn’t be much changes in our relationship! The Pandemonium will still be your home and you will still be a member of the House of Han. You have nothing to worry about,” reassured Han Shuo.

“A member of the House of Han…” Rose put on a strange look on her face and mumbled to herself for a moment before she softly asked, “As what? What will I be in the House of Han? What will our relationship be?”

Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he smilingly replied, “As my friend! You will be my friend and no longer my slave! I will still treat you like before. Nothing will change!”

It seemed as though this was not the answer that Rose was looking for. However, she did not object, adding, “I’m not nullifying the contract. It’s not time yet.”

Han Shuo laughed out of bafflement. He looked at Rose with a confused look and replied, “You sure are a strange one. Back then, you urged me to emancipate you every day. But now that I’m nullifying our contract, you refuse. Why?”

“I don’t care! I won’t nullify the contract before the agreed time!” Rose did not answer Han Shuo’s question. She softly groaned and put on a stubborn look.

After having lived with Rose for decades, Han Shuo knew that she could be stubborn at times and there was no way to change her mind. He shook his head smilingly and replied, “Alright, fine. If you are so insistent on being my slave, there’s nothing that I can do. But you can come back to me anytime to nullify the contract. I will never eat my words.”

“I’m just abiding by the agreement. Hmph, you shouldn’t overthink either!” said Rose with a cold face. She took yet another glance at the living room and remarked, “If you do not exercise any restraint, sooner or later, it will be overused and become dysfunctional!”

Upon finishing those words, Rose turned around and quickly left.

Han Shuo grimaced, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

“Dum Dum, she’s attracted to you!” a soft cry suddenly sounded from behind Han Shuo. Emily, wrapped in soft textile, slowly walked to him.

“I know,” replied Han Shuo with a slight grin.
