"Grandpa's final trump card, the one that makes both the Dragon Clan and the Dark Demon Clan hesitate to act recklessly, shouldn't be this Warship..."
"What exactly is that thing in the Black Magic Palace? I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. Perhaps Ji Min knows?"
Wei Chen thought to himself and smiled at Ji Min. "No matter how strong the Black Magic Clan is or how rich their heritage, given the current situation, your Dark Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan joining forces means that the Black Magic Clan won't have it easy."
"But what does that matter? My father has discussed matters with Jiang Lingjian of the Dragon Clan several times, but they couldn't reach an agreement. To put it simply, they are all too afraid to send troops," Ji Min replied honestly.
Wei Chen frowned. "Ji Min, shouldn't you keep these things to yourself? Regardless, our factions are considered opposing sides, right?"
"What does it matter if we're opposing sides? They are them, and we are us. You're not a bad person; although you're a bit flirtatious and slick-tongued, I still feel good about you. I've already considered you a friend."
Ji Min's gaze fixed on Wei Chen, trying to read his thoughts through his eyes. She truly regarded Wei Chen as a friend; if she had to give a reason, perhaps it was because he was the only one she felt comfortable talking to so much.
At first, when Wei Chen had made those teasing remarks, he didn't get angry but instead put on a pitiful expression that stirred Ji Min's hidden maternal instincts, leading her subconscious to develop a desire to "protect" him...
That feeling came inexplicably, yet Ji Min deeply understood that it was real.
She was a straightforward person who never beat around the bush.
Having taken Wei Chen as her friend—the only male friend—she naturally hoped that he would see her as a friend too.
She stared at Wei Chen, eager to hear his response.
In this situation, how could Wei Chen let her down?
Wei Chen smiled lightly. "Alright then, they can fight their battles while we handle ours. From now on, we are friends."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's answer, Ji Min finally relaxed the tension that had been stuck in her throat.
She teased with a smile, "Aren't you afraid I'm a spy sent by the Dark Demon Clan to steal your formation techniques?"
"Of course not. If these formations could be learned just by observing from the outside, they would have been stolen long ago. Without obtaining the Formation Blueprint, it's all for nothing." Wei Chen looked deeply at Ji Min and added, "Moreover, I can sense that you don't have even a hint of Formation Assignment..."
Hearing this, Ji Min opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to say.
Formation Assignment... cough, cough... there really isn't any...
In the Demon Realm, those who possess a Formation Assignment are extremely rare. Most importantly, the intricate formations are monopolized by the Black Magic Clan. Even if someone from the Dark Demon Clan or the Dragon Clan shows promise in Formation Assignment, their achievements will be limited due to the lack of sophisticated Formation Blueprints to study.
Ji Min felt a bit awkward. Although she didn't have a Formation Assignment, her martial artist talent was exceptional. Where could one find a seventeen-level master at such a young age? Looking across the entire Demon Realm, there were hardly any who could match her.
Quickly shaking off her embarrassment, Ji Min picked up her pride and said, "I may not have a Formation Assignment, but I reached the seventeenth level of martial arts by the age of thirty. I rank among the Soul Demon Realm. Can you compare to that?"
"Thirty? You're thirty years old?" Wei Chen asked in shock.
"Yes, I'm this young and already in the Soul Demon Realm."
"Uh... what I mean is, aren't you a bit old?"
"Get lost! Is thirty considered old?"
Ji Min glared at Wei Chen, clearly displeased with his remark. Thirty was indeed the prime age for beauty.
Wei Chen suddenly realized that they were in the Demon Realm, a strange place where ordinary people could live for thousands of years. Thirty years old was indeed quite...
However, women in the Demon Realm matured around fifteen or sixteen. By eighteen, they were generally at the age for marriage. Looking at Ji Min, it was obvious she wasn't married yet.
Wei Chen's thoughts began to spiral as he considered his feelings. This alluring woman had captivated him from the very first glance...
"If I could unite with her, wouldn't that mean the Dark Demon Clan would no longer oppose the Black Magic Clan? My grandfather's pressure would lessen significantly too. For me personally, it would be quite beneficial."
"This woman's figure is extraordinary; she's just a bit fiery in temperament. But that's fine; with some gradual guidance, she'll surely improve."
"It's settled then; I’m determined to win over this woman!"
Wei Chen resolved firmly in his heart that winning Ji Min over would be immensely advantageous both emotionally and rationally.
Wei Chen was not being despicable; men were all like that. When they saw a beautiful woman who was sexy and alluring, it was hard to resist. If one could resist, then they were not a real man. If, on top of being sexy, the woman had an extraordinary identity that could bring great benefits to one's family, it would be an even greater incentive.
Considering all these factors, it was clear that he had to pursue the alluring woman before him. Not doing so would be a disservice to himself and to his elder, the Dark Mage.
Wei Chen smiled as he looked at Ji Min and said, "You should know that I come from a lower realm. Back in the day, my parents were hunted by the Dragon Clan and fled to a lower realm. My father died protecting my mother during their escape in the Demon Realm, and my mother brought me to a place called Soul World, where she soon passed away as well. I was raised by others. In that world, the lifespan of humans is generally only a hundred years; they do not live as long as those in the Demon Realm. So in my understanding, thirty is already considered old. I apologize for not realizing sooner that in the Demon Realm, women at thirty are still quite young."
Wei Chen's sincerity was evident, and Ji Min had heard some stories about the Dark Demon Clan Young Master. She nodded in understanding. Upon hearing about Wei Chen's past, her expression turned sympathetic, revealing a hint of maternal concern.
Wei Chen had achieved his first step.
The second step would begin immediately.
"Ji Min," he asked casually, "in the Demon Realm, women usually get married by eighteen, right? You look so stunning; don't you worry about your husband getting jealous?"
Ji Min scoffed and replied, "My husband hasn't even been born yet."
Wei Chen's face showed astonishment. "With your beauty, you haven't married yet?"
"Getting married isn't that simple. To be honest with you, my father has arranged many matches for me, but I've lost interest at just one glance. It's not easy to marry me," Ji Min said with a sideways glance at Wei Chen, her disdain evident.
"Come on now, if it's difficult for you, why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Chen chuckled bitterly.
Ji Min responded, "What I mean is that someone like you is definitely not suitable."
"Uh... why not?"
"Your background is fine; my father would agree to it. But your strength is too weak; you're still practicing Three Souls and Seven Spirits at your age! How embarrassing! Brother, you need to work harder; otherwise, when your grandfather steps down and you become the Dark Demon Emperor, you won't be able to hold your ground," Ji Min said.
"My lack of strength is due to my different training environment. In that lower Spatial Plane, what could I possibly train in? It won't be long before my strength surprises you all," Wei Chen asserted.
"That's good to hear; I'll be waiting to see it," Ji Min replied.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "This time when we join forces with my Divine Vessel, your father won't blame you, will he?"
"He never blames me. Those cousins of mine in the family all indulge me. I can do whatever I want, and they can't stop me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen began to understand what shaped Ji Min's personality.
In the entire family, the younger generation was almost all male, with her being the only female. As the sole daughter of the Demon Emperor, it was no surprise that everyone catered to her.
A person's character is formed by various factors, but the most significant one is the nurturing within the family.
Clearly, Ji Min belonged to the type that was "raised freely," spoiled at every turn, allowed to do as she pleased. Even at thirty years old, she remained unmarried, and the Royal Dark Demon Clan could only indulge her.
Wei Chen nodded and asked, "So, are you here for the Demon Arena?"
"Brother, are you asking a silly question? At my age, can I even participate? However, I did take part in the last Demon Arena and accidentally secured first place. You people from the Black Magic Clan usually surrender after just three moves when facing me to avoid getting seriously hurt."
A hint of arrogance appeared in Ji Min's eyes. Securing first place in the Demon Arena through real combat was indeed impressive. In the last Demon Arena, she was only at Fifteen Levels, yet her opponents included many skilled fighters at Sixteen or even Seventeen Levels, all of whom ended up defeated by her.
For Ji Min, defeating opponents of higher levels had become a norm. She possessed a unique bloodline that amplified her power during battle, creating conditions for her to challenge those above her level.
Wei Chen feigned astonishment and flattered her before continuing, "So what are you here for? To choose a husband?"
Ji Min nodded seriously. "You guessed it right. My father indeed sent me to choose a husband. If I take a liking to someone, he will be allowed to join our Ji Family."
"What if he doesn't want to?"
"The vast majority would be willing; only those from top-tier forces might refuse. If that's the case, I wouldn't mind marrying such a person. But I don't hold out much hope; I probably won't encounter someone like that..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually changed, and a different emotion flickered in her heart.
"If it weren't for this fellow's lack of strength, he might have caught my eye."
"Sigh, after searching high and low like this and still not finding anyone suitable, am I really going to have to wait until I'm an old maid?"
Ji Min looked at Wei Chen and sighed lightly, suppressing that emotion within her. She continued, "My father told me that if I can't find someone suitable, I'll have to marry Dragon Clan Young Master Ginger Guest. The Dark Demon Clan and Dragon Clan are already allied; marrying Ginger Guest would help solidify the relationship between our clans."
Upon hearing Ji Min's words, Wei Chen narrowed his eyes, a flash of killing intent flickering across his face.
That fleeting killing intent did not escape Ji Min's notice.
She felt a surge of fear within her: "This Fellow has quite a strong aura of death... Is his killing intent directed at me? Is he planning to duel with Ginger Guest...?"
A woman's thoughts can change in an instant.
Wei Chen said, "The main reason you came to Dragon City is to get engaged to Ginger Guest, isn't it?"
Ji Min defended herself, "That's not my intention; it's my father's wish."
Even she didn't understand why she felt the need to justify herself. Her emotions were tangled and chaotic.
After Wei Chen's brief display of killing intent, her heart, which had sunk into stillness, seemed to stir and ripple with life once more.
Wei Chen sneered and said, "I'm afraid your father's plans are about to fall through."
"What do you mean?" Ji Min asked.
"Because Ginger Guest is going to duel me and die in the Arena!"
