[TheTavius08: Correct mia this one is common, strengthen your reading dao like me mia and every trope and cliche you can see coming a mile away.I have read 393 books]

[Adam_Balch_7324: It seems like there's not much to gain from helping her without further explanation though I am also sure that is why the chapter ends before she gets that far]

…

While Mia was surprised by the sudden request, Theo could actually see the comments.

He definitely didn't want to get into another trouble, especially something that he had never planned.

Hence, the moment he heard it, Theo waved his hands to the dragon horses while saying, "No."

The dragon horses began to walk, but suddenly, the woman grabbed one of the horses' legs while begging. "Please… Please listen to me first."

Mia looked down, contemplating. She didn't know anything about the comments, but she actually wondered how this would play out.

On the one hand, it didn't seem wise to help someone like her. On the other hand, she thought that this was another good thing.

'Getting an ally… While this might be a cliche to avoid my father controlling the number of his enemies, wouldn't it be better to gain their help? It will be different from Yue Yi and the Snow Blossom Sect. In fact, Yue Yi's behavior is troublesome.

'The Demon Race is normally hated by humans, right? What if we actually used this to our advantage? To help me, Father has crushed that one sect. They will surely come for us in the future. What if we use the demon territory as the base so that we can have an easier time when we go back? It's not like humans are trying to cross the border just because of a single sect, right?'

Mia thought this was a good idea. Since they were bound to have a conflict, this situation would definitely favor her.

However, it would be bad to help her without any reasons as well. With her dad's personality, there was no way this was enough to convince him to help her.

Mia couldn't help but come and whisper to her father. "Dad. Why don't we help her?"

"Huh?" Theo frowned. "I know that you want to cause trouble, but this is a bit too much."

"No. I'm not talking about that. What if we turn them into an ally so that they will be fighting with that sect? Of course, this might not be possible, but please think about this… the demon territory is huge. There should be a gate leading from there, right? Even if the humans in this world hate these demons, the other worlds might not."

Theo fell silent. "So, you're suggesting that we help them so that they can protect you?"

"Yes. I know that these people will know about us in one way or another. And they will definitely come for us. So, instead of messing with them in this world, what if we help her and in exchange, the demon race will go to the Modern Realm so that they can stop the attacks there? Depending on how you use it, we might be able to get their help to solve the situation in the Demon Realm… Ultimately, it's going to help mommy."

Theo remembered that this woman actually looked like a normal human. So, her clan might also have the same ability.

And if there was a powerful person that they could dispatch to the Demon Realm, his wife would definitely have an easier time over there.

That was right. He might not be able to go there, but he didn't mind that others couldn't.

He took another look at the comments and thought, 'A common cliche, huh… And even though helping her won't give me a lot, I think this is also another opportunity. I need to know about what kind of help she needs first.'

The portals disappeared as if showing Theo's decision.

Feng Xiaoling couldn't help but become excited.

"I need to know about the problem first."

"Of course. I will tell you about everything as long as you can save my father." Feng Xiaoling hurriedly replied so that Theo didn't have time to change his mind.

"No. Before that, I have three things that I want to make clear. We are humans."

Feng Xiaoling hurriedly said, "With the heavens as my witness, I swear that I will not let anyone harm you. I will be the first to stand up against anyone who dares to threaten you. Even if I have to use my body to protect you, I won't hesitate."

A thunderous rumbling filled the sky as if it were acknowledging Feng Xiaoling's oath.

Theo had his illusion, so it would be easy to put on a disguise. But this reply was enough to show how determined Feng Xiaoling was.

"Second. Didn't you want to torture me earlier?"

Feng Xiaoling panicked, not knowing what to do. "I… I don't want to. I must have misspoken."

"That's enough." Theo sighed. "Last but not least, do you think you are in a position to negotiate with me? You are already lucky that I haven't done anything to you after all that."

Feng Xiaoling bit her lips. She couldn't deny it.

Theo could have easily killed her earlier. Yet he didn't do anything. While it looked like he was searching for directions, he could get it one way or another.

"I…What can I do to appease your anger? I am willing to do anything." Feng Xiaoling looked ashamed but there was nothing she could do.

Theo couldn't help but sigh, "For now, I will listen to what you have to say regarding the problem. Why do you ask for my help?"

"That's…" Feng Xiaoling paused for a moment. "What if… your dau—"

Theo's expression became cold as he stated, "If you want to say something, say it directly. I don't have time for the what-if situation."

Feng Xiaoling took a deep breath. "My father is sealed in a special realm. I wonder if your excellency has the Space Dao."

"Why do you need the Space Dao?"

"The special realm is locked, so my father has been sealed there. In addition, it's extremely dangerous. Seeing that your excellency is extremely strong, I believe that you can enter the secret realm by using your power and rescue my father."

"Won't your father harm me when he sees a human like me?"

"No. There is no way he will do something like that."

Theo thought for a moment before showing the comments to Mia, asking about her opinion. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

After reading the comments, Mia actually gave a thumbs up, implying that it was alright to accept the agreement.

She thought, 'If this is a cliche, then accepting it will probably result in good terms between them and this woman's influence. Although I agree with the second comment that helping her won't let them gain much without further explanation, there is one thing that might not be calculated in this comment.

'It's the fact that all of this is a cliche. In other words, everything will definitely follow a certain pattern. They can predict what's going to happen based on the kind of cliche that appears. In other words, the difficulty will be much lower than they expected. However, I have to agree that we need to gain a lot from this encounter.'

With this thought in mind, Mia agreed to help Feng Xiaoling.

Theo couldn't help but let out a long sigh while waving his right hand. "Alright. You can tell me about the details after you wear some clothes."

"Ah!" Feng Xiaoling looked down, realizing that her body was only covered by a towel. She didn't know why, but she had an urge to slap Theo as if it were the right thing to do.

But with proper thought, she realized that it would simply push Theo away. So, she resisted that urge and hurriedly ran behind a tree to change into new clothes. She couldn't help but remember what Theo first said to her.

The fact that he wasn't interested in her body meant that there was no reason for him to peek at her bath. Previously, the urge to chop Theo into pieces overwhelmed her, which ended up in her losing against him. But after calming down, she realized she was the one at fault for taking a bath outside and not properly checking her surroundings.

After wearing her clothes, Feng Xiaoling's atmosphere became different. She looked more elegant and dignified.

"I apologize for my action earlier." Feng Xiaoling clasped her hands and politely bowed her head. "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Feng Xiaoling. My Feng Family is known as the Phoenix Family."

Now that she had calmed down, the conversation could finally begin. Theo said, "Let's just brush off the previous matter and talk about the main problem. If you are going to ask me to help you, you should be able to convince me, right? Don't forget that I am a human, and I don't know much about your family."

Feng Xiaoling looked a bit surprised by the last part, but she soon regained her composure and nodded her head. "Yes. First of all, it will be impossible for what I possess to be able to convince you. The only thing I can give you is my phoenix's tears."

"Phoenix Tears?" Theo frowned, curious about the effect. Since she promised it as a reward, there was no way these phoenix tears would be something ordinary.

"Every one hundred years, a phoenix will condense their tears into a single droplet. This droplet is a miraculous medicine that is said to have the ability to let anyone recover as long as they haven't died. And this is also the reason why my father ends up in the special realm. I promise that I will convince my father to make sure that you don't suffer a loss from helping him."

Theo was quite amused by that claim, but if this truly worked, he might gain something precious. "Alright. Let's continue with the problems."
