I was just kidding.

The members of the Ao Qing Wolf Clan were extremely nervous, afraid that Milk Leopard Li would get angry and attack.

Ao Qingcheng bit her red lips tightly as she watched Ao Qing's back, finally stepping forward.

"No matter what, I beg you not to let her take away my child, okay?" Ao Qingcheng said with tears welling up in her eyes, her jade fists tightly clenched.

She didn't know how to face Ao Qing originally, but in front of her child, she finally took the initiative to speak, with a hint of pleading in her words.

She didn't even know if Ao Qing could really turn the tide, but he was the only one she could trust and rely on.

After all, she was the mother of the child.

She also realized that if Milk Leopard Li really took Little Wolf away, she and her son might never see each other again in this life.

Ao Qing also looked at Ao Qingcheng complicatedly.

Although he had his way with Ao Qingcheng's body that day in the martial arts hall, his state of mind had long been different from before while staying there.

He no longer admired or even looked down on this once vicious and cold woman.

But at this moment, looking at her with tears in her eyes, Ao Qing's heart suddenly moved, softened a little.

"Don't worry!"

He nodded solemnly.

Then he threw Ao Qingcheng a firm look.

Ao Qingcheng bit her red lips tightly, standing by Ao Qing's side, praying in her heart that Ao Qing really had a way to keep the child.

"Oh?"

Milk Leopard Li looked at Lu Benwei.

She never expected that someone would speak to her like this under her demon emperor's aura.

She couldn't help but size up Lu Benwei up and down.

She couldn't detect his cultivation level, and he didn't seem to pose any threat at all.

"So you are the father of the seven little wolves?" she asked Lu Benwei.

"This loser is of course not." Lu Benwei said with arms akimbo.

"You aren't?" Milk Leopard Li asked.

"That's right, that's my elder brother. I am." Ao Qing stepped forward and said in a deep voice, shooting an icy look at Milk Leopard Li.

"You?"

"Alright, then let me repeat myself in front of you. No matter if you agree or not today, I, Milk Leopard Li, will take these seven little wolves away on behalf of the Western Demon Forest. Understand?"

Her tone was full of impatience.

With her status, representing the Western Demon Forest to come to this remote place to take away seven little wolves was simple enough, yet she had encountered so much trouble, her patience was just about used up.

So she sized up the father of the child, Ao Qing, perfunctorily only after she finished speaking.

But this one look.

Made her heart skip a beat.

She suddenly remembered...

The shocking scene she encountered on the way to the Ao Qing Wolf Clan that day...

As well as the unforgettable scene!

That day.

A man in white punched through the heavens right in front of her, breaking the blockade to the Immortal Realm, allowing the baptism of the Immortal Realm to pour back into the Immortal River Continent.

And she clearly remembered that next to the man in white, there was also a dog-shaped demonic beast.

And wasn't that demonic beast the current Ao Qing!

According to Ao Zhong's statement that the little wolves' biological father was with a supreme master, didn't everything match up?

Which meant that supreme master was that heaven-shaking existence that punched through the heavens...

Thinking of this.

She took a panicked step back, her entire body breaking out in a cold sweat.

At the same time.

Her legs went soft and she inadvertently dropped to her knees.

Terror crept up her spine as she raised her head. Her previously high posture suddenly changed as she grinned at Ao Qing, saying, "By the way, I was just kidding earlier. Do you believe me?"

This sudden turn of events caused an uproar among the Ao Qing Wolf Clan members.

"What's going on here?"

"How could he do that?"

"Why did this Demon Emperor suddenly kneel down like that?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No one had expected Milk Leopard Li, who was domineering just a moment ago, to suddenly become like this.

...Was she still a Demon Emperor?

Especially Ao Qingcheng, her red lips parted in shock as she looked incredulously at Ao Qing beside her.

She seemed weak now, but she was still one of the cherished daughters of the Ao Qing Wolf Clan. She had keenly noticed earlier that it was after glancing at Ao Qing that Milk Leopard Li underwent this change.

That's right.

Just one glance.

Turned a Demon Emperor from a high and mighty posture into a groveling one.

This...

What kind of power did it take?

In other words, could it be that the former useless wastrel in front of her had not only foiled the Red Sun Clan's plot with his own power in just one year, but had now frightened even a Demon Emperor into kneeling with just a look?

Ao Qing.

Just what had he experienced?

And what kind of changes had he undergone?

At this moment, she had to admit that the wastrel she once looked down on had become an existence she now had to look up to after just one year.

"It's good that you still recognize me."

Ao Qing was not the least bit surprised by Milk Leopard Li's posture, sending out a leisurely voice.

"How could I forget meeting you once? Naturally I remember, I remember." Milk Leopard Li said apprehensively with sweat beading on her forehead.

"Then my son?"

Ao Qing's voice sank, hesitating over what to say.

"Of course, of course! How could my Western Demon Forest be qualified to nurture Sir's son? Of course it would be more suitable for Sir to nurture him personally. Please forgive my offensive behavior earlier..." Milk Leopard Li said in a trembling voice.

Such a scene utterly shocked the entire Ao Qing Wolf Clan.

"Sir?"

"Is this Milk Leopard Li actually addressing the Third Prince as Sir?"

"She's a Demon Emperor!"

"Woof, I'm not hearing things, am I?"

"What level has the Third Prince cultivated to?"

Everyone was astonished.

Meanwhile, Ao Qingcheng still couldn't recover from the shock for a long time, because the scene before her confirmed her guesses.

Ao Qing had really reached a level that made her look up to him now.

This left her with complicated feelings she couldn't describe.

She was also a proud person. Even though she had lost before, she was still unwilling to accept defeat in her heart. Deep down, she still didn't approve of Ao Qing, and didn't think Ao Qing was much better than her.

Even after having a child with him, when danger came, she would think of Ao Qing to protect them, but that didn't mean she truly accepted Ao Qing in her heart.

But now...

She couldn't help glancing at Ao Qing, involuntarily lowering her head.
