Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

"...A Jiao?"

Krablanc pondered for a while, muttering the name while clenching his fists, and the temperature in the palace gradually became colder.

Ying Li crossed his legs, resting one hand on his chin, his tone slightly teasing.

"Hey, hey~ You haven't forgotten your wife, have you? Oh, that's right. You have a lot of wives, right?"

"Hey!"

Clabron was upset by what he said. He had very complicated feelings towards A Jiao. He glanced at Galantina who had a cold face and said:

"I can't help it. I have no choice. And, daughter, I'm afraid you still resent me, right? I resent you for not caring about what happened to you and your son, and I resent you for not recognizing my own flesh and blood before the fall of the Demon Empire."

"Stop talking nonsense! You haven't told me where my mother is! I don't want to recognize a father like you!" Galantina didn't give the king any face at all and only responded to him with bad words.

"Is this how you talk to your father? It seems like I can just ignore you forever!"

Krablanc shouted coldly, pressing down on her with a grim aura. It was okay for Ying Li, but he would not allow his children to be disrespectful to him.

"Humph!"

Ying Li tapped the ground with one foot, and circles of pressure formed shock waves, colliding head-on with Krablanc's momentum, causing the entire Night Mei Palace to tremble.

Krablank put away his power and looked at Yingli coldly: "Have you become strong now that you have a man? Your Excellency Yingli, I am the king of a country now. Please respect yourself and don't forget what you said before entering the door!"

"What did he say? Proposing marriage? Yes, what's wrong?" Ying Li disagreed.

"You are so disrespectful to your elders, aren't you afraid that I can use my power to separate you?!"

"Who are you, elder?" Galantina said viciously.

Ying Li smiled again, spreading his hands as if nothing had happened. "My so-called proposal of marriage is just to tell you as a father, I didn't ask for your opinion."

"you……"

Crabron slammed the table and said angrily: "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. If you don't ask me for my opinion, who else can you ask?"

"Stop, I didn't come here today to listen to your old-fashioned attitude. You haven't told me about Ah Jiao's situation yet. Hurry up! I still have to go and destroy the Iron Blood Alliance."

Ying Li was too lazy to chat with him about these family matters and urged him again.

Krablanc's expression changed from dark to bright. He didn't want to dwell on it. It was a habit, subconsciously. Whether it was managing a family or a country, he had always been like this. Ying Li had deeply experienced this in his previous life.

After calming down, he spoke slowly, "Humph... I naturally know about the disputes that occurred near my country's coast."

"As for Ah Jiao..."

He glanced at Galantina again and continued, "She... and this daughter. Hey! How about this, let me explain why I treat my wife and daughter like this?"

Seeing that Galantina didn't respond, Ying Li nodded for her, and Crablank began to speak: "When the Demon Empire still existed, I was just a general."

"It is taboo for our tribe to marry outsiders. Ah Jiao and I met on the battlefield and fell in love unexpectedly after a life-and-death battle. If this matter were to spread, it would ruin my reputation at the least, but it would affect the friendship between the two tribes. We must keep this secret."

"Oh?"

Ying Li recalled that there was indeed a war at that time. He sent A Jiao to assist the night elves in the battle. A Jiao became pregnant hundreds of years after she returned triumphantly.

In this situation, Clabron and Ajiao really had to keep the matter secret, as it would have a bad impact on both of them if it got out. Given the rigid doctrines of the Night Elves' high-ranking officials, it was possible that they would really fall out with the Demons at a time when the Demons were facing internal and external troubles.

Crabron continued, "After I became the clan leader through various means, it is impossible for me to change the traditions that my clan has followed for thousands of years all at once. If an illegitimate daughter suddenly appears, it will affect all kinds of things..."

"It will affect your face, your reputation, and your power which is more important than anything else." Galantina said disdainfully.

This time, Crabran did not get angry, but nodded in agreement:

"That's right. When you are at the top of a mountain, you can see all the other mountains. If you have never had absolute power, how can you understand the beauty of power?"

Krablanc had a confident and proud look on his face, and he didn't think it was shameful to like weights. It was indeed the fact, and Ying Li could not deny it, but this thing was also a double-edged sword.

Crabran suddenly changed the subject:

"It is only now that I understand one thing. The emperor, or the devil, these people at the pinnacle of power are the greatest prisoners in the world. They have everything and will lose everything at the same time."

At this time, Yingli and Crablan looked at each other, and Yingli felt the same way. Crablan stood up, walked slowly towards his daughter, and pulled a chair to sit next to her.

At this moment, his eyes were full of fatigue. He wanted to reach out and hold Galantina's slightly trembling little hand, but he had no courage and immediately took it back.

In fact, he himself knows that he is a scumbag and a failed father, and he does not deserve forgiveness at all.

Galantina also looked at her with wide eyes, with contempt and expectation in her heart. She lost her father at a young age and had never experienced fatherly love, but what her father did was indeed extremely hurtful.

Crabron sighed. He had not made up his mind after all, and continued:

"The Night Elves abolished the old system after I became emperor. At that time, I had no choice. My lovers were scheming against each other, fighting for their favor, and their relationship with me gradually deteriorated."

"In such a harsh environment, it is absolutely impossible to allow a demon to parachute into the palace, because that would give them another rival in the fight for the crown prince. Ah Jiao would definitely not be able to gain a foothold and would be ostracized by them all."

"But I cannot afford to offend them, and some of the higher-ups, no matter what. Because their roles run throughout my military career, from running for clan leader, to unifying the empire, and even being crowned emperor."

"As for the disputes in the harem, I can only mediate from the outside and must not be partial to or provide protection to any party. Do you understand this?"

Crablan was asking Galantina the question, and his tone now lacked the authority of a king, just like that of an ordinary father.

Galantina also stammered in reply: "From, from palace fighting dramas, I've seen, I've seen some!"

Crabron laughed secretly. "It is exactly the same as in the TV dramas made by humans. I have no way to bring Ah Jiao back to the palace."

"I once thought of taking her as a concubine as an excuse, but the heavens always like to play tricks on us. Just when I was about to implement it, the "Life Spirit Crossing Boundary Technique" sent her to me..."

Krablanc recalled that he had prepared an inconspicuous little house in the suburbs of the capital, and every time he went there he would pretend to be an ordinary person and meet with Ajiao under the pretext of visiting the countryside.

That day, he saw an ambulance parked outside the house from a distance, and when he entered the door, he saw a group of doctors delivering A Jiao's baby.

Galantina was born in the form of a little snake. This scene scared all the doctors, because she was clearly in human form when examined through instruments.

At that time, the weather suddenly changed and strange phenomena occurred. The local villagers said it was a bad sign and suggested getting rid of the evil spirit to ensure safety.

Only A Jiao and Crablan knew that this was not a dangerous sign, but a "life-spirit crossing technique".

A total of ten different kinds of light appeared in the sky and on the ground. After a tumbling, three of them fell into Galantina's body, and the remaining seven flew to various parts of the world.

Crablank grabbed Ajiao's hand anxiously, and while using magic to heal her weak body after giving birth, he asked anxiously:

"You reported my daughter's death before. Does that mean you're going to use the "Life Spirit Crossing Boundary Technique"?"

Ah Jiao nodded, his face was completely bloodless, the bed was covered in blood, and the ground was also covered in blood. Giving birth to such a special baby was a life-threatening situation for a pregnant woman.

"I, I don't want to cause you...any trouble, I didn't...I didn't tell..."

Ah Jiao passed out and all the doctors were scared away. The only option left was to send the mother and daughter back to the palace for emergency treatment. Clara Brown rushed back to the palace at full speed and secretly handed them over to the imperial physician.

Afterwards, in order to deceive everyone, Krablanc said that Ah Jiao was a monster that was having difficulty giving birth, and he was too kind-hearted to bear to watch it die.

After the mother and son were out of danger, A Jiao was expelled from the city under the unanimous pressure of the harem and the elders of the clan.

On the grounds that "monsters will take the first living creature they see when they are born as their parents", Crablan forcibly saved Galantina and gave her the identity of a princess.

This also earned her the title of a bastard, a monster's daughter, and a lowly illegitimate daughter, and she suffered from cold eyes throughout her childhood.

……

Galantina was extremely surprised when she heard this. Using this trick would actually cause such a huge burden on the biological mother, and almost caused Ajiao to die in childbirth.

The story of Clablan is also full of the helplessness of the imperial family who are caught in a dilemma. They cannot bear to see their wives and daughters die in the wilderness, yet they cannot offend their relatives in the palace. So they have to find ways to help them survive in the cracks.

"About two years after the founding of Yongye, the Holy Land began to massacre the scattered remnants of the demon clan and also began to attack the Ghost Alliance, especially the former Demon Lords and Demon Kings, who were all wanted criminals."

"Our country has not yet established a firm foothold. I dare not become their enemy without the assurance of complete victory, and I cannot openly send troops to protect the sea area where the Demon Dragon Clan is located."

The recollection ends, and Crabran mentions the current situation.

"We lost contact after the Iron Blood Alliance raid a few days ago. I asked the Seven Deadly Sins to investigate the demon hideout and found this."

Crabran took out a ruby, in which a wisp of residual soul was floating, containing a strong feeling of sadness.

Galantina felt the same resonance, an irrepressible sadness.

The tragic scenes of Ah Jiao's suffering kept emerging in her mind and before her eyes like slides, bringing back endless memories.

——It is one of the three souls and seven spirits: the soul of sorrow.
