Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 331

Not long after, Sheng Nuan followed Cang Lan to the demon clan.

The demon clan lived within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Demon King’s Palace was located in the deepest part of the mountains, built along the mountainside, ferocious and grand.

The families of the demon clan’s generals were trapped in a canyon not far from the Demon King’s Palace.

That canyon was originally beautiful and magnificent, the favorite vacation spot of the demon clan’s nobility… Cang Lan had initially intended only to control those families to prevent the generals from rebelling, but unexpectedly, a sudden flow of fire sealed off the entire canyon.

When they reached the canyon, one of Cang Lan’s trusted aides approached with a grim expression. “Your Lordship, the heavenly fire in the canyon is increasing… The only passage is blocked by the fire, and we cannot rescue them.”

Cang Lan acknowledged with a sound, then heard the aide continue, “The dispatched Eagle Clan has sent back news… Generals Gray Wolf and White Fox are bringing people back. They will arrive soon.”

Cang Lan narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Sheng Nuan, revealing a gentle smile, “Nuan Nuan, let me take you to have a look…”

The two walked toward the entrance of the canyon, with the trusted aides following behind.

The entrance to the canyon was a passage resembling a tunnel. But now, looking into the tunnel, it was filled with surging heavenly fire.

Inside the canyon, the mountain walls were vertical, a hundred zhang high. Except for winged demons, ordinary old, weak, women, and children simply couldn’t get out.

Cang Lan asked Sheng Nuan in a low voice, “Do you have a way?”

Sheng Nuan glanced at it, then stepped forward. “I’ll try.”

Saying that, she reached out to touch the tunnel entrance. In the next instant, a thin layer of stone shell appeared on the inner wall of the tunnel…

As if an invisible hand was pushing forward, the white stone shell on the inner walls kept advancing inward. When it came into contact with the heavenly fire, those surging, hard-to-extinguish flames began to slowly retreat.

Cang Lan’s eyes immediately lit up.

He had previously tried to extinguish it with demon power, but the mountain path over ten zhang long was full of heavenly fire, and there was no way to extinguish it all. But now, the little stone demon had a way.

The heavenly fire in the tunnel kept retreating, and the mountain path covered by the white stone shell gradually emerged. Sheng Nuan’s face became somewhat pale.

So much eggshell required a lot of demon power.

Cang Lan noticed it. He saw the little stone demon’s lips tightly pressed, eyes fixed ahead… Her arms were already slightly trembling, yet she still persisted.

He reached out and placed his hand on the little stone demon’s back, and powerful demonic energy surged forth… The white stone shell quickly moved forward, and finally, the passage was completely cleared.

Cang Lan scooped up the little stone demon and flew forward… Behind them, the group of trusted aides followed closely.

Exiting the mountain path, they saw that the canyon below was already a sea of heavenly fire. The demon clan’s old, weak, women, and children were huddled on a circle of stone platforms close to the mountain wall, the little demons crying loudly. The heavenly fire in the air continuously poured down, and the fire below was rising like a swelling tide, clearly already in a desperate situation.

At that moment, a fox demon exclaimed, “The exit, the exit is open…”

Immediately after, the demons saw Cang Lan rushing in with his subordinates.

“It’s His Excellency the Demon King, His Excellency has come to save us…”

“Wuu wuu wuu, we’re saved!”

Those demons had almost despaired. Because such a situation was nearly hopeless. Some even said that the Demon King Cang Lan originally intended to kill them.

But now, they had personally seen Cang Lan bring people through the fire-covered exit to save them…

After the eggshell extended through the passage and formed a floating bridge over the heavenly fire, Cang Lan and the trusted aides began to fly back and forth, rescuing the slow-moving demons from the opposite mountain wall.

The rescued demons stepped onto the mountain path and, having survived the disaster, rushed out. Some even reverted to their original forms. For a time, the passage was filled with a large group of foxes, mice, rabbits, etc., rushing out, extremely spectacular.

The trusted aides escorted a group of old, weak, women, and children out. After Cang Lan saved the last little pangolin who had dug a hole to hide himself, he flew back… But at that moment, the hole in the sky above the canyon collapsed and enlarged, and overwhelming heavenly fire poured down.

In the original plot, it was this heavenly fire that burned the entire canyon to ashes…

Cang Lan’s expression changed instantly. Subconsciously he was about to throw away the little pangolin in his hand to form seals to resist, but at that moment, he saw Sheng Nuan, who was at the exit behind him, suddenly fly up and pounce toward him.

The heavenly fire pouring down from above was like a flood overwhelming the sky. But the little stone demon, whom he had easily tricked into coming with a few words, disregarded everything and pounced toward him, then unfolded a layer of white eggshell to protect him…

The white eggshell looked so fragile, and the little stone demon’s cultivation was extremely weak in Cang Lan’s eyes. But at this moment, amidst the heavenly fire that could burn everything, the weak stone demon, eyes tightly closed in fear, nevertheless used that thin layer of eggshell to firmly protect him, not letting the fire harm him in the slightest…

Cang Lan tightly held the little stone demon and flew into the passage.

At that moment, many images inexplicably appeared before his eyes…

The bloody corpses of his parents killed by the previous Demon King… After becoming an orphan, growing up in the wolf clan, enduring all kinds of hardships, day after day of loneliness and fear, long nights when, covered in wounds, he gritted his teeth and held on, unable to cry…

In the next moment after flying out of the passage, the eggshell supporting the tunnel completely shattered, and the heavenly fire once again surged back into the cave.

Cang Lan put down the little pangolin in his hand, reached out, and tightly pulled the little stone demon into his arms.

He didn’t say many sentimental words to thank the little stone demon as planned. He just held her tightly, murmuring softly, “It would be great if I had met you earlier…”

Long, long ago, those years of loneliness and fear, those years of resentment and pain—if only she had been by his side.

The little stone demon seemed a little confused, but still patted him and said warmly, “It’s not too late now.”

Then Cang Lan laughed.

He said, “That’s right, it’s not too late now…”

He still had a chance to snatch her away, and then keep her by his side forever.

At this time, the demon soldiers led by Gray Wolf and White Fox returned with murderous intent… Gray Wolf’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart already set on breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats¹.

If the Demon King had really threatened them, imprisoned or even harmed their families, then even if he died, he would fight Cang Lan!

Then they saw their families gathered on the open ground, holding their heads and crying bitterly…

Fathers, wives, young ones… all there, they were all there…

In the next moment, those old, weak, women, and children saw the returning young and strong men. They immediately got up and rushed over, crying with the joy of surviving a disaster.

“Wuu wuu, son, mother thought I would never see you again.”

“Daddy, daddy, I was so scared…”

“Brother, wuu wuu, Dingdang was so scared, I was almost burned to death.”

A tiny pangolin transformed back into human form and rushed into the arms of a young general, “Wuu wuu, Daddy, you’re finally back… If His Excellency the Demon King hadn’t saved me, I would have died, woo woo woo…”

Those young and strong demons were somewhat stunned.

Cang Lan had saved their families.

The little pangolin was still crying loudly, “Just now, the sky was full of fire, woo woo… His Excellency almost died to save me. He kept holding me and didn’t abandon me…”

Cang Lan slightly pursed his lips.

He had almost thrown that little pangolin away.

Gray Wolf put down the cub in his arms, then walked to Cang Lan’s side.

“Your Excellency, from today on, my, Hei Feng’s life, is yours… I will be loyal and devoted, unto death!”

Behind him, those demon soldiers all knelt down in unison.

“Loyal and devoted, unto death!”

……

Leaving the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the demon clan, Cang Lan escorted Sheng Nuan to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, repeatedly asking whether she wanted to stay in the demon clan. After Sheng Nuan refused, Cang Lan smiled, “Alright, as long as you like it.”

Sheng Nuan waved to him and slipped away. Behind her, Cang Lan’s smile gradually faded.

He softly murmured, pausing between words, “You will return here… my little stone demon…”
