The moonlit bedroom was a two-story palace-style building. Compared to the magnificent and towering main palace of the Moon Demon Palace, it was not particularly noticeable. However, being able to own a palace within the Moon Demon Palace was enough to prove her status within it.

Moon Night stood quietly in the living room. Today, she was wearing a light purple dress, her long hair flowing down her back without any deliberate styling. Her beautiful face was devoid of makeup, looking pure and natural, and her eyes were gentle as she watched Long Hao Chen enter from outside.

“Princess.” Long Hao Chen couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his heart when he saw her. The demon princess lacked the disheveled appearance from their last meeting and had gained a touch of ethereal beauty.

Moon Night waved her hand and said, “You may all leave.”

“Yes,” the four maids attending nearby quickly retreated, leaving only Long Hao Chen and Moon Night in the spacious hall.

“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly,” Moon Night said with a slight smile, gesturing for Long Hao Chen to enter further. They walked to the main seat, where she sat down and gestured for Long Hao Chen to sit in the seat below her.

“I apologize for disturbing you, Princess,” Long Hao Chen said with a faint smile. Having arrived here, he appeared calm and collected, without any sign of nervousness.

Moon Night looked at his handsome face and said softly, “So, Dragon Team Leader has completed his mission?”

A flash of cold light appeared in Long Hao Chen’s eyes, adding a touch of sharpness. This place was a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair for him.

Moon Night naturally understood his meaning and smiled, “Dragon Team Leader doesn’t need to worry. Those who are by my side are all trustworthy, and no one will speak out of turn.”

Long Hao Chen’s expression returned to normal, and he said calmly, “Indeed! With the abilities of President Moon Night, how could she allow those around her to disobey?”

A hint of danger appeared on Moon Night’s pretty face, “Are you being sarcastic?”

“I wouldn’t dare. Let’s get down to business. Our mission cannot be considered complete, but there is no need to continue it any further. We plan to return to the Alliance. Does the Princess have a solution?” Long Hao Chen didn’t intend to get entangled with her and cut straight to the point.

Moon Night frowned slightly and said, “That’s not difficult. After I reported the last incident to my father, he was furious, and those guys in Narik Province have already suffered. His Majesty, the Demon God Emperor, ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and the three demon gods stationed there are said to have been ordered to return to Heart City for trial, and their respective affiliated races have been stripped from them. However, I cannot leave the Moon Demon Palace for the time being as there are still some matters to deal with. If you want to return, I can arrange a merchant caravan under the banner of my Moon Night Chamber of Commerce. After the last incident, I doubt anyone would dare to attack my caravan again. Moreover, you are heading to the Temple Alliance empty-handed.”

Long Hao Chen nodded, “Thank you for that. When can we depart?”

Moon Night said unhappily, “I’m not a god. You have to give me time to handle this matter. At least three days, up to ten days. I will arrange everything.”

“Okay,” Long Hao Chen said, “Then how will the Princess inform me when the time comes?”

Moon Night said, “The best way is for you to stay here and leave after I have a definite schedule. I have plenty of room here, and no one dares to enter easily.”

“You want me to stay?” Long Hao Chen asked vigilantly.

Moon Night chuckled, “Dragon Team Leader is so wise, how could you ask such a foolish question? Are you afraid I will harm you? If I wanted to do that, I wouldn’t have let you see me at all. However, the methods of your confidante are too ruthless. I have tried various methods, but I have been unable to remove the seal within me, which has caused me unbearable pain. Is this your attitude in using me as a collaborator?”

Long Hao Chen’s expression returned to normal, and he said faintly, “Collaborator? You are a demon princess, and we are at most in a relationship of mutual exploitation. We can’t be called collaborators. If I’m not mistaken, your last shipment of resources was for Demon Capital Heart City, right? Are you truly neutral?”

Moon Night nodded without hesitation, “Of course, the most important principle of us wandering merchants is neutrality. You only see what I transport to the demons, but you don’t see what I bring to the humans. When you follow my caravan back to the Temple Alliance this time, I will let you see it.”

Long Hao Chen said, “That would be best.”

Moon Night looked at him intently and suddenly stood up, walking to Long Hao Chen. “Then when will you have your confidante remove the seal on me? I am sincerely cooperating with you. But having something like this in my body is like a thorn in my back. It’s too painful.”

As she spoke, her body softened, and she went to sit on Long Hao Chen’s leg.

Long Hao Chen had been on high alert since arriving here, and his reaction was naturally extremely fast. With a flash, he left his seat. Moon Night’s full, elastic body only brushed lightly against his thigh before she sat in his previous position.

“Am I that scary?” Moon Night said resentfully.

Long Hao Chen’s face was a little cold, “Princess, please respect yourself. I believe that with your abilities, it won’t be difficult to find me a place to stay in Demon Capital Heart City. After you have arranged the caravan, have someone inform me. I will find a hotel myself. Give me news soon, or don’t blame me for being impolite. Since I dared to come here, I am not afraid of your tricks.” He was unwilling to get entangled with this woman any further.

“Alright, alright, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. What if you get exposed if you find a place to stay yourself?” Moon Night said resentfully. Little did she know, the shock in her heart at this time was unparalleled.

She had always been very curious about Long Hao Chen. She could naturally see that Long Hao Chen was not yet twenty years old, but she didn’t expect him to be so young at fifteen years old. Humans and demons are different. Most demon powerhouses are born with powerful abilities, but it is very difficult to cultivate further. Only a few of the most powerful races have relatively strong cultivation talents. For other races, even the demon gods who are the clan leaders find it difficult to grow stronger.

Humans are different. Humans are born with almost no abilities, but their potential for growth is almost unlimited. Although they are also affected by talent, human creativity and growth are far beyond the reach of demons. Otherwise, how could humans have persisted for so many years and remained undefeated under the onslaught of powerful demons?

A fifth rank at fifteen years old, at least before today, Moon Night had never heard of it. Moreover, Long Hao Chen was already the leader of a demon hunting team. Moon Night was so clever. With Long Hao Chen’s age and ability, his talent must be top-notch among humans. Given enough time to grow, he would definitely become a great enemy of the demons in the future.

However, one thing she did not deceive Long Hao Chen was her own inclination. Whether for humans or demons, she had no deep feelings. In her heart, profit and strength were the most important things. Therefore, although she discovered Long Hao Chen’s terrifying potential, she did not have any additional thoughts. She just secretly decided to at least befriend this young man.

At this moment, a maid suddenly rushed in from outside, “Princess, His Majesty the Demon God Emperor has arrived. Prince has ordered all the people in the inner palace to greet him together.”

“What?” Moon Night was shocked, and her face changed drastically in an instant.

Long Hao Chen’s heart also tightened, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

“You may leave first. I’ll change my clothes.” After a brief shock, Moon Night waved her hand to dismiss the maid.
