Luna Lian said, "He was originally Emperor Ray Quinn's spirit beast. But after being tainted with a bit of demonic qi, not only did his lifespan become incredibly long, his cultivation soared. He’s a god with a temper that swings all over the place. Because of the demonic qi, everyone just calls him the Demon God."
"Emperor Ray Quinn’s spirit beast…" Lily Bai was stunned. "I never thought… he was such a big shot!"
Emperor Ray Quinn was the previous Celestial Emperor.
He ruled for over a hundred thousand years, then retired with the Celestial Empress and vanished without a trace.
"Exactly! No one in all Three Realms dares mess with this Demon God. So how did you guys end up crossing him?" Luna Lian asked curiously.
Lily Bai replied, "It’s a long story. Uh… Luna, do you think my junior brother can be saved?"
Luna Lian said, "Come with me to my place—we’ll find my father!"
Lily Bai nodded, bringing Nine Li and following Luna Lian. They used a teleportation array in the New Divine Realm and arrived directly in the Lumina Realm.
The Lu Clan in the Lumina Realm wasn’t royal, but their influence rivaled the imperial family.
Two hundred thousand years ago, the Lumina Realm was thrown into chaos.
These were Luna Lian’s ancestors: Princess Sienna Quinn and her husband Lucas Kee held real power for over a hundred thousand years, keeping order in the Radiant Palace.
Quentin Lian is the direct grandson of Lucas Kee and Princess Sienna Quinn.
Though the Lu Clan returned power to the royals long ago, Quentin Lian was so gifted he became a High God early on.
He also inherited the Lu Clan’s legendary healing arts, making him the strongest spirit alchemist of his era.
He’s the chief of the Spirit Alliance, overseeing all the spirit alchemists in the world.
And now that even the Qilin Divine Lord calls him master and treats him with respect, the Lu Clan’s status in the Lumina Realm hasn’t budged in two hundred thousand years.
The Lu Clan’s divine estate is located in Peach Blossom Haven.
Amid sprawling peach orchards, a handful of understated mansions house Quentin Lian, his spouse, and their two sons and one daughter.
The mansions themselves are modest, clean, and beautiful—more rustic chic than lavish.
If you wandered in without knowing, you’d probably think it was just some freewheeling immortal’s country home.
When she saw Quentin Lian, Lily Bai repeated her earlier lie, then knelt before him and pleaded, "High God, I heard that only Fiendbloom can cure Demonic Poison, and you’re the only one in the world who has it. Please, save my junior brother!"
"Get up first," Quentin Lian said. He looked young, radiant, and had that signature Lumina Realm godly aura.
"High God," Lily Bai insisted, still kneeling. "I’m begging you! My master only has this one son. If Nine Li dies, my master is already badly hurt—he might not survive it…"
Quentin Lian was about to speak when someone burst in like a whirlwind, shouting, "Little Fish is here? Luna, I heard you brought Lily Bai—is it true?"
He rushed in and saw Lily Bai kneeling on the floor, eyes brimming with tears.
He immediately glared at his dad. "Father God, why are you letting her kneel?!"
"Can’t you learn from your sister and be a little calmer?" Quentin Lian shot him a sideways look.
The newcomer was Luna Lian’s second brother, Ryan Lu.
Ryan Lu wasn’t afraid of his dad at all. He shouted, "Why should I learn from her? She’s so young, but she can sit still all day—how does she do it?"
Saying that, he reached out to pull Lily Bai up. "Little Fish, get up! Don’t kneel, the floor’s freezing!"
But Lily Bai wouldn’t budge—she just looked at Quentin Lian with pleading eyes.
She had to learn to be as shameless as her master.
Otherwise, Nine Li might really die.
