The Demon Lord's Fiery Wife 26 Demon Realm Crossover 2

Demon Lord Zhurong on his way out of his kingdom changed his robes from their usual dark color to one of red. He was curious to see the the female cultivator that was pretending to be the daughter of a sect leader. After a while, he soon arrived at the forest that led to the YuanLi sect, choosing to walk the rest of the way to the front entrance of the sect.

From the outside, he looked like a handsome man from one of the cultivation sects. His crown was disguised to those of a gold and ruby, this way none would be able to tell that he was from the demon realm. He had no weapon on him, not even something as simple as a dagger, as he made his way to the gate of the YuanLi sect. Th only thing he brought with him was the mirror of yao, the magical tool that masked the spiritual energy of the one that wields it.

Demon Lord Zhurong greeted the men at the gate, "Greetings, I am Rong from the fox clan. I wish to have an audience with Lady Li."

The disciples that stood guard stared at the man claimed to be from the fox clan, never had they seen anyone from there, he had an strange beauty to him that made them look with discomfort at him, how were they supposed to confirm that he was who he said he was?

Every sect in the heavenly realm knew that the fox clan kept to themselves and chose not to associate with those from the heavenly realm. On the other hand they could neither discredit his words, because looking at him made them think of the things they had read from the books at the library about them. To the disciples, people from the fox clan were beautiful beyond what the eyes had ever seen, their youthful look remained with them for thousands of years, before eventually growing hold and reverting to their true form of a fox. Sadly, the ancient books didn't tell of the people from the demon realm, because they hid their faces behind a mask, history recorded them as devious and hellish monsters, but in reality they were as beautiful if not more beautiful than the people from the fox clan.

"We have never heard of you, do you have any relations with the fox king?"

One of the YuanLi disciples presumably the leader, asked the man that stood in front of his sect's gate. To him, only those that were related to the royal house of the fox clan could be shown to their mistress, anyone that wasn't in such a high position would either be told to wait until the sect leader came or be shamefully sent away.

Demon Lord Zhurong smiled at the men, he knew where they were going with the question, to them, their mistress was too good to see just anyone that showed up their gate.

"I'm Fox Prince Rong, an illegitimate child of Fox King Yan. I was conceived from the union with one of his chamber maid."

This time the men looked very uncomfortable, it was no laughing matter, but the man who claimed to be the fox prince smiled as those he was talking about the weather or some little subject. There was no trace of shame in his voice, it was as though he felt proud of himself for being an illegitimate child. Who gets proud for being born out of wedlock?

Neither of them voiced out their inner thought, but the demon lord could read their expression for what it was, almost breaking into a full blown laughter.

"What should we do? We can't possibly leave him standing here, what would people say if they knew that we didn't let the fox prince in?"

One of them asked the person that was probably the leader, "His identity hasn't been confirmed, we can't just let anyone that claims to be from the fox clan in! What if it is someone from the demon realm?! I heard they have begun killing people from other sects! If sect leader Li knew that we let anyone near his daughter, we would all be beaten to death!"

Demon Lord Zhurong was no fool, there was no way that a disciple cultivator would believe the words of a stranger without any proof, which was why he pulled out a glowing necklace which the fox king had given his mother during his visit to the demon realm, as a gift to show no ill will to the demon kingdom.

It was forged from the fox fire of Fox King Yan, the gift could pass for one that a royalty would give to their spouse or lover.

"Father gave it to mother as a token of the love he had for her and when I was born it was passed onto me."

Demon Lord Zhurong lied without any shame, he saw the shift in their expression, it was no longer one of suspicion, but one of confusion and guilt, probably from not believing his words at first.

"That is fox fire! Who else can use fox fire if not someone from the fox clan! The necklace is glowing with blue flames within them. I heard it is eternal, the fire never goes out unless the one that owns it dies!"

Who knew the necklace would become useful for what he had in mind, within him demon lord zhurong was thankful that the fox king gave his mother the then demon queen such a magnanimous gift.

"Can I have my necklace back?"

The leader passed the glowing jewelry back to the demon lord, who placed it back on his neck.

"Fox Prince Rong, please follow me inside."

This time around, they all gave demon lord zhurong a deep bow, although he was supposedly illegitimate, he was still considered the prince of the fox clan, who may possibly take over and become the fox king in his "father's" stead. Therefore, the disciples of YuanLi sect did not want to offend the future fox king.
