I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World-Chapter 669 - 354: Suspicion
Chapter 669: Chapter 354: Suspicion
Footsteps came from outside the cave, and Su Nan immediately used the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations technique, switching his role back to Lang Thirteen at the same time.
A young woman stepped into the cave, appearing before Su Nan’s eyes.
“So, it really is you!”
“Should I call you Lang Wu or Lang Thirteen?”
The crisp voice sounded, and the person who came was none other than the Green Wolf Demon King, whom Su Nan had met back in Tianyun County.
She was the great princess’s younger sister, the Demon King named Qingqing.
Upon hearing that her sister had returned with a Sky Wolf clansman, the Green Wolf Demon King immediately thought of the incident in Tianyun County and the wolf demon which Su Nan had transformed into. Considering some abnormalities she had discovered at that time, she instantly understood what had happened.
Now that she saw Su Nan, her suspicions were confirmed.
Upon hearing the name Lang Thirteen, Su Nan’s heart sank, and he subconsciously thought that the Green Wolf Demon King knew he was an Outsider.
However, upon further thought, he understood the situation.
Lang Wu was the name he used back in Tianyun County, and his identity was Hu Xiaotian’s younger brother.
The name Lang Thirteen came from the wolf demon whose Fate Pattern he had taken. Back when the Sky Wolf Valley was attacked by the Dianxing Sect, not all wolf demons were killed, and many fled. Those wolf demons most likely returned to the Skywolf Clan in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
The Green Wolf Demon King must have returned to the Skywolf Clan, learned something from those escaped wolf demons, and deduced Su Nan’s identity.
“So it’s Second Princess. May I ask what brings Second Princess to my humble abode?” Su Nan said indifferently.
Since he was now a clansman of the Skywolf Clan, he naturally had to abide by their rules.
The Second Princess before him was the younger sister of the Great Princess and the daughter of the Demonic Emperor of the Skywolf Clan. Naturally, he had to address her as Second Princess.
Second Princess said, “Back in Tianyun County, I clearly sensed my connection to my sister but couldn’t find her. Now I see, you hid her.”
“I’m very curious, how did you manage to cut off the connection between me and my sister?”
Su Nan said, “Please forgive me, Your Highness. At that time, the Great Princess was severely injured, and I had no choice but to keep her in my Cosmic ring for healing.”
Second Princess was able to sense the Great Princess’s presence within a certain range, which Su Nan had known from foreknowledge back in Tianyun City.
“Cosmic ring? I’m afraid it alone wouldn’t be enough to do it, would it?” Second Princess looked at Su Nan with deep meaning.
Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged.
Indeed, the Cosmic ring alone could not completely cut off the connection between Second Princess and Great Princess. The reason he was able to cut off Second Princess’s connection was his Personal Space.
However, as long as he didn’t say anything, Second Princess could never guess it.
That was what Su Nan thought. However, he underestimated the Second Princess before him.
“What a coincidence. As far as I know, among those Outsiders of the human race, there is also one named Lang Thirteen.” Second Princess said.
Saying this, she suddenly had an absurd thought: could these two actually be the same person?
The existence of Outsiders had always been a concern to the demon races, and they naturally paid close attention to those in the top of the ranking list.
Even the Demonic Emperors of each race had offered rewards for capturing the top-ranked Outsiders alive, promising various prizes.
At first, when she knew that Hu Xiaotian’s younger brother in Tianyun County had been named Lang Thirteen, she didn’t think much of it, considering it just a coincidence.
After all, one was an Outsider of the human race, and the other was a demon. They couldn’t possibly be related.
But seeing Su Nan again, the Second Princess subconsciously linked him to Lang Thirteen from the Outsiders list.
It was because, for some reason, she sensed a hint of danger from Su Nan!
Ignoring the thought, Second Princess soon discovered something else, her eyes showing amazement:
“Peak of Xuan-level? In just over a month, you went from Spirit-level Early-stage to the Peak of Xuan-level. How did you do it?”
Second Princess couldn’t stay calm. Recalling the absurd idea that had suddenly popped into her head, and thinking about the bizarre space possessed by Outsiders that could block any perception, she blurted out subconsciously:
“Could it be that you are Lang Thirteen from among the Outsiders? And that you concealed my sister’s presence from me by putting her into that strange space?”
In an instant, Second Princess had pierced through Su Nan’s identity.
With a calm expression, Su Nan replied indifferently, “Second Princess is joking. I’ve heard of Lang Thirteen from the Outsiders, but I am a demon, while that Lang Thirteen is a human. It’s just a coincidental similarity in names.”
“Back then, I was merely hiding my true strength, not a Spirit-level.”
“Really?” Hearing this, Second Princess clearly did not believe Su Nan, staring at him as if trying to see through him.
After a moment of thought, she asked again, “After the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition in Tianyun City was broken, where did you go?”
Su Nan replied, “Once the task was completed, I left Tianyun City.”
“Do you have anything to do with the death of the White Water Demon King?”
“The White Water Demon King is dead?” Su Nan showed a surprised expression.
What surprised him was not the death of the White Water Demon King, but the fact that Second Princess could connect his death to Su Nan.
Feeling a slight movement in his heart, Su Nan knew that the Second Princess before him did not get along well with the White Water Demon King and was not looking for the person who killed him.
Considering the questions asked by Second Princess earlier, he understood that she was trying to deceive him!
