I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

The half-demon princess, who had just detached her mind from the "Xunwang Order," excitedly waved her fist.

She hadn't expected Chen Yi to arrive so quickly, so decisively, without waiting for her to complete the trade of promised items, he was already at the Ten Thousand Mountains.

She's not sure how Chen Yi accomplished this, as she recalls the Demon Court had means to monitor the great powers of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

But that doesn't prevent her from believing Chen Yi's words.

He is a Sword Dao genius who could slay "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai, the most suitable helper she had been waiting for a long time.

A person like that whose words would not deceive her.

What benefit would come from deceiving her?

Perhaps... three Demon Blood Cores of Great Demon King Level?

Xiao Lan's smile faltered, this notion somewhat made her feel anxious and worried.

"It shouldn't be, it won't."

"The intelligence from the Wei Dynasty during this period indicates that Chen Yi is a person who values emotion and loyalty, and he keeps his word."

"He said he came to the Demon Court, assumedly now positioned north of Beixiong Pass, at the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

Xiao Lan hurriedly fetched a map of the Ten Thousand Mountains, took a charcoal stone, and marked several points, indicating possible locations of Chen Yi.

Her pure white tail swung back and forth behind her quickly, occasionally brushing against her skirt, leaving a few stray fibers.

Xiao Lan painted over the map for a long time, her heart flying to the south of Beixiong Pass, flying to the lost land depicted by the Demon Court's Great Demon Kings.

Looking at the dozens of marks appearing on the map, inching closer to her position from the outside to the inside, Xiao Lan's heart was filled with anticipation.

"Hopefully, I can leave soon... the Demon Court isn't my home."

Xiao Lan's idea of escaping the Demon Court wasn't present from the beginning.

When she was very young, just aware of things, she found everything here very novel.

The enormous palaces, the undulating mountain ranges, eternally unmelted snow, and the oddly shaped demons made her feel this was her home.

Despite the Fengyue Demon Emperor's cold attitude towards her, none of it made her feel alienated.

Until later, when she was arranged by the Fengyue Demon Emperor to practice with the offspring of several Great Demon Kings from the Demon Court, she realized—

She was the greatest anomaly within the Ten Thousand Mountains!

She only had one pure white tail, unlike other demons who had strong and massive demon bodies.

Her face was that of a Wei person, unlike the Emperor Tiger and other demons who had beast-like fierce heads.

Her demon bloodline wasn't pure, even though her mother held the highest status in the Demon Court, her talent was still far inferior to the offspring of other Great Demon Kings.

When she realized this, came the differing voices and subtle changes in the attitudes of surrounding demons.

"Our kind is born naturally, closer to the Tianyuan Continent's descendents, powerful bloodlines... This continent was desecrated by the Human Race... Half-demons are even more despicable than humans!"

"If she weren't the offspring of the Demon Emperor, I would have eaten her long ago!"

"Who knows who her biological father is? If I knew, I would skin him and draw his tendons, daring to insult the Demon Court Emperor!"

"Even the Demon Emperor, why would she produce such a mongrel?"

"Afraid only the heavens know..."

The voices she didn't originally care about, magnified many times as Xiao Lan grew up.

She could no longer look directly at her identity, couldn't see the Demon Court as her home, and understood why her mother ignored her.

All because she was the anomaly of the Demon Court—a half-demon!

"Leave here, escape from here, as long as I hide my tail, I, I can become a Wei person!"

This is Xiao Lan's thinking, and it's been her goal all along.

Originally, she thought she had to wait until her bloodline awakened to divine skills before she'd have the chance to escape the Demon Court.

She didn't expect an incidental opportunity led her to meet Daoist Zhao Tianhe, who traveled down from Taizhou Mountain.

It was then she heard many things about the Human Race, learned many truths never mentioned by the Demon Court.

Like a thousand years ago, the Demon Court was the master on the Tianyuan Continent, and the Human Race was its slaves.

This point is consensus, but the difference lies in—The Demon Court's record is that the Humans used despicable means to drive them to the Ten Thousand Mountains!

Whereas Daoist Zhao Tianhe's original words were: "Despicable? Intelligent beings aren't naturally demon slaves, the Humans were enslaved for countless years before rising with their indomitable spirit."

"In this poor Daoist's view, the Human Race on Tianyuan Continent are the most diligent, intelligent group across Taizhou Mountain's realms!"

Hardworking and Wisdom, two words rarely mentioned in the Demon Court, deeply imprinted themselves into Xiao Lan's mind.

—She wanted to become such a person!

Therefore, she agreed to join "Xunwang Heaven," hoping to gain improvement and gain means to break free from the Demon Court.

"Everything will get better!"

Thinking of this, a sudden smile blossomed on Xiao Lan's face, as radiant as a budding flower.

Not far away.

Seeing Xiao Lan's bright smile, Zhou Guanwu hidden in the dark felt a bit dazed.

Aside from that tail that inherited Feng Yue Demon Emperor's bloodline, Xiao Lan's brows and eyes resembled him greatly.

Silkworm eyebrows, large black gemstone-like eyes, a tall nose bridge, lips... resembled the Feng Yue Demon Emperor greatly.

As he watched, Zhou Guanwu's face unexpectedly showed some smile.

This was his second time seeing his and the Feng Yue Demon Emperor's sole daughter, the last time was when he was about to leave the Demon Court for the Wei Dynasty.
