Saifotos felt his expression tighten as Qin Feng finished his self-introduction, asking, "Back then, when you destroyed my crystal king star transmission array and left my side in complete disarray..." Qin smiled warmly. "Got it right—it was me." He then pointed to the beautiful woman by his side, Qingya. "And her too. At that time, it was our four of us who went to your territory to dismantle your transmission hub. Saifotos, didn't you feel a strong urge to snap and yell at us? I fully support you—go ahead. If it hadn't been for my actions, you might have already conquered Earth long ago. How could you have ended up with such a decisive defeat?" As soon as the other person showed any sign of disrespect, Qin would have a solid reason to act, making sure to knock them senseless until even their mother couldn't recognize them—forcing them to pay the price for their arrogance. Safitos didn't even grow angry—he smiled instead. "I hold heroes in the highest regard. Your courage in venturing deep into my magical realm is truly admirable. Yet I still don't understand: how can a just-ascended being like you be entrusted with negotiations on behalf of the Jade Emperor?" Ni ma, this guy is indeed sharp and seasoned—he didn't fall for the trap, and he's even launched a counterattack. He chuckled, saying, "It's not that the Jade Emperor values me. Rather, he simply doesn't regard your side at all. Otherwise, how could he assign someone like me, just recently ascended, to negotiate with you? Safitos, do you grasp my point?" Since you're not buying it, I'll keep feeding the fire. See how long you can endure. The other's face slightly changed, yet he maintained a smile and said, "It's said that the Jade Emperor is a wise ruler. By arranging for you to negotiate with me, he must have a purpose in mind. To be able to sit face to face with a former adversary is truly an honor—though we have never met before, I must say I greatly admire your youth. In truth, my inability to conquer Earth was largely due to overconfidence, but your presence has also played a significant role." Hmm, quite impressive—this man has recovered so well; he's not even upset. Then, I'll just keep adding more to the plate. He glanced at him thoughtfully and smiled, "Thank you for the kind words. I'm not as impressive as you think. By the way, there's one more matter I'd like to share with you—something involving your general, Meili. Would you like to hear it?" Safitosh raised an eyebrow, then quickly returned to his composed demeanor, speaking calmly, "I'm interested in anything related to General Meili. Please tell me." Although he was trying hard to hide it, Qin Feng could still tell that this man deeply cared for Mei Li. A few days ago, when they had dinner in the valley, he specifically asked Mei Li about the realm of magic. The beautiful magical princess was straightforward, stating that Safitos had always wanted to make her his queen consort, and his affection for her surpassed that for any other general. When the magical army was defeated by the heavenly forces and several generals were killed, Safitos believed Mei Li would also meet the same fate, and he had been deeply saddened for a long time. It was precisely because he couldn't bear this indignity that he had lodged a formal protest with the heavenly court, demanding compensation. Of course, as a king of a planet, he couldn't simply say he was acting out of concern for one woman. Thus, when he heard Mei Li's name, he couldn't help but feel stirred and eager to find out whether she had survived or not. Qin Shao smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you some good news—Mei Li is alive." "Really? "Saifotos could no longer remain calm. He stood up and asked, "Where is General Meili? How is she now? Tell me." "Why should I tell you? Don't we seem to have no personal connection?" Qin played a game of deliberate hesitation, continuing, "In fact, strictly speaking, we're still bitter enemies—how could I possibly answer your questions?" Saifotos grew increasingly urgent, bowing deeply and curtsying to Qin, saying, "Master Qin Feng, let us settle our past grievances on the negotiating table. I kindly request that you tell me exactly how General Meili is doing." The more urgent he became, the less he spoke—Qin deliberately kept his legs crossed and ignored Saifotos. Saifotos grew utterly frustrated, removing the ruby ring resting on his right index finger and saying, "This modest gift, I hope Master Qin Feng will accept." "Qin was quite unashamed to take it, examined it carefully, and said, 'It looks like an authentic piece—surely you're not presenting me with a forgery just to make a show, are you?' Safitos quickly replied, 'Of course not. This is a blood-red gemstone native to the Magic Realm. It's a rare treasure there—many royal magic beings have longed for it but never had the chance to obtain it.' Qin smiled warmly and handed it over to Qingya, saying, 'Qingya, here you go.' 'Thank you,' Qingya happily accepted, holding it fondly and playing with it. Safitos watched him with a look of genuine distress, waiting for the answer. After all, this very ring had been specially prepared by him for his proposal to Meili. Feeling a bit pressured, Qin cleared his throat and said, 'Meili not only survived, but she's thriving—very much so. You might not know, but she has long been deeply in love with me, and has repeatedly expressed her desire to leave the magic realm and become my wife.' 'What?' Safitos blinked, his eyes wide with astonishment, his face filled with the expression of someone ready to devour him "Why are you so urgent? I, Qin Feng, the True Immortal, am a man of integrity—how could I possibly agree to such a request from a demonic race? Therefore, I firmly declined." He spoke with solemn gravity. "Yet I didn't expect that Meili would be such a determined young woman. After my refusal, she didn't lose heart. She knelt before me repeatedly, pleading for my acceptance. In the end, she even willingly shared with me the intelligence of your army's movements, in hopes of earning my trust..." Safitos' face turned stern, while Qingya smiled, thinking—how good a storyteller you really are. He pretended not to have heard any of this, continuing: "Indeed, her admiration for me proved genuine. But as a man of principle, how could I accept the affection of a female demon lord? Thus, I once again firmly declined. Meili, in her humility, lowered her status and requested to serve as my attendant, only asking to stay by my side. Fortunately, when the demonic army was utterly destroyed, I found her homeless and destitute, so I reluctantly accepted her." Safitos bit his teeth and asked one word at a time, "Then what?" Qin Xiao ignored his withering expression and continued his story: "Then she became my maid as she wished. Every day, she cooked for me, washed my clothes, brewed tea, and carried water. She was also very enthusiastic about helping me warm the bed—by the way, do you know what 'warming the bed' means? It means attending to the bedding and the pillow. Speaking of that, I must confess—I'm not exactly a man of virtue. I couldn't hold out, and eventually, a serious incident occurred: Mei Li became pregnant with my child."
