When demons were outside the demon realm like when they were in Wu Li or Dong Lang, they were fully clothed like humans and werewolves. They looked cultured and proper when they were outside their territory, and that was why Wu Jingguo didn't expect that they would be wearing nothing when they were in their region.
He suddenly regretted how he refused to listen to Yu Ming's explanation of the demons, but when he thought about it again, perhaps he would still be shocked by the scene in front of him even if he was willing to listen to Yu Ming's explanation.
Thus, he knew that Yu Ming's warning wouldn't change anything, and that was why his mouth continued to open as his face turned red. Standing beside him, Yu Ming chuckled when he saw how ugly his face was.
"Surely, it's not easy to go to a place like this for a mighty Prince like you, right, Your Highness?" Mischievously, Yu Ming teased the younger man wearing blue.
Of course, Yu Ming knew that Wu Jingguo was not like Wu Jinhai who had a carefree life outside the palace before he was appointed as the new Crown Prince of Wu Li, and that was why he could tell that the Second Prince of Wu Li had a pure mind, unlike the said older brother.
"Did my father know that demons would be naked when they are in the demon realm?" It seemed like Wu Jingguo wanted to ignore Yu Ming's ridicule as he chose to question the older man.
"Why are you suddenly asking about His Majesty, Your Highness?" Instead of answering, Yu Ming asked back.
This time, Wu Jingguo didn't answer immediately, and he turned to the fish demon before looking at the man intently. At this time, the joy on Yu Ming's face was obvious, and Wu Jingguo knew for sure the humor in Yu Ming's eyes about how he was behaving at this time.
"My father is reluctant to let me go to the demon realm, so he probably knows about the situation in the demon realm, right?" Wu Jingguo asked.
Yu Ming seemed to be able to understand the younger man's question as he nodded towards the man a few times. "Maybe that's the case," he replied. "I never told His Majesty about this matter because it was a bit embarrassing, but perhaps he heard about it from someone else. Your father is an Emperor, and it's normal for him to know more than you, Your Highness. Ah, to tell you the truth, your brother also knows about that because he secretly entered the demon realm once."
"My brother has entered the demon realm before? Did he go to this place with you? I thought he only slayed the demons outside the demon realm and never really visited this place," Wu Jingguo looked interested when the older man mentioned his brother, and he immediately asked.
Hearing Wu Jingguo's question, Yu Ming shook his head before replying, "Your brother kept that matter a secret because he knows His Majesty will scold him if he learns the truth. You know how your brother hates demons so much, right? He lost everything because of a demon, and one day he was too desperate that he even went to this place alone. He was planning to exterminate all the demons here, but he only managed to mess with one of the snake demons in this place. He even managed to destroy their nest back then."
Carefully, Wu Jingguo listened to Yu Ming's explanation. The distance between him and his brother was indeed too great, and he didn't know much about his brother. In the past, Wu Jinhai often spent time outside the Xinyang Imperial Palace, and Wu Jingguo must have known about it. However, he did not know what his brother used to do when he was outside the palace, nor did he know that Wu Jinhai had once been so desperate that he even caused havoc in the demon realm.
"In the past, my brother managed to leave this place safely, right? The demons didn't hunt him even after he wreaked havoc in their lair?" Wu Jingguo asked once more.
This time, Yu Ming furrowed his brows as if he was trying to recall his memories, but then he replied, "He returned to the Red Pavilion unharmed back then, so I guess he managed to deal with the demons when he was in the demon realm. Those demons perhaps didn't dare to hunt him down when they knew that he was the Eldest Prince of Wu Li. Just like today, those demons were extremely careful with what they did."
Wu Jingguo somehow sneered after hearing Yu Ming's answer. "Do you think demons are still being careful today? If they were careful enough, then they wouldn't join forces with Shao Yaoting to cause chaos in Dong Lang. Demons are still a troublemaker," he replied coldly as he looked at several demons busy with their activities in front of him.
Yu Ming followed Wu Jingguo's line of sight, and he smiled slightly before replying, "You should know that not all the demons joined Shao Yaoting that day, Your Highness. Can't you see how some demons are busy with their activities here? I know there are only a few of them, but I believe there are still benevolent demons like my mother, Your Highness."
Wu Jingguo suddenly turned to Yu Ming again after hearing the man's words. Yu Ming was talking about his mother again, and Wu Jingguo could notice how the fish demon sounded a bit somber when he voiced his opinion. Sure enough, Yu Ming still remembered his mother, and returning to the demon realm must only add to the nostalgic feeling.
The Second Prince could see that, but he didn't know what to say to comfort the older man. After all, he was still a proud Prince who only knew how to speak harshly rather than speak softly, and that was why he ended up falling silent instead of saying anything.
As he remained silent, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and when he turned his head to look in front of him once more, he could see how he and Yu Ming were currently surrounded by several demons.
