"Your Majesty, are you really determined to come to Earth in person? As for Princess Lala, it will be fine if we keep an eye on her."
Without a doubt, standing in front of Sasdin was Lala's father, King of Deviluke—Chido Lucion Deviluke.
Despite its small size, this creature possesses the power to destroy planets, making it quite terrifying.
"Nonsense! My son-in-law can't be an ordinary Earthling. I have to test him myself!"
Qido sat on the throne, his eyes showing a serious expression. He was going to put his son-in-law to a serious test.
After all, the other person is going to inherit his mantle, and if he is not qualified, he absolutely cannot let the other person be with Lala.
“This… I understand, Your Majesty.”
Sasdin nodded solemnly, then continued, "We look forward to your arrival at any time."
"Okay, Sasdin, just protect Lala, that's all." Cheetos didn't say anything more to Sasdin.
With a "zzzz" sound, the projector turned off.
"call……"
Sasdin stood up, rubbed his forehead, and pondered for a moment, muttering to himself:
"I hope my son-in-law is alright...?"
Qiu Bai is indeed powerful, but Sasdin doesn't know exactly how much stronger Qiu Bai is compared to His Majesty Qi Duo.
If Cheetos were to come now, it would take at least a month, since Deviluke is relatively far from here.

In the evening, the television was on at the Kuse family home, and Yukikaze, Lala, Yuki, and Akihachi were sitting on the sofa.
Across from them, on the television, the news was reporting on a bizarre incident.
Host: Today, a huge UFO was discovered at XX Shrine not far from Tokyo. It appears to have been cleaved by a sharp blade.
It's in two halves; that's a very bizarre thing.
Host: Why did a UFO appear at the Shinto shrine? What split it in two? And why did it remain perfectly aligned? Furthermore, the technology behind this UFO may be beyond the scope of human technology, and it has now been handed over to the world's top scientists for analysis…
"Wow... UFO!" Yukikaze stared at the picture on TV, somewhat surprised. Then, she looked at Lala curiously and asked, "By the way, Lala, are you an alien? Could this UFO be from your family?"
Lala was eating snacks and hadn't said anything yet, but Pekai flew to Yukikaze's side.
“The UFOs from Planet Deviluke aren’t of such poor quality; they’re obviously not!” Pekai said, then floated up in mid-air again, crossed his legs, and stroked his chin seriously. “But Earth actually has the technological power to cleave through civilizations beyond Earth’s own. It seems Earth isn’t as simple as it appears.”
"Earth is widely recognized as a low-level civilization in the universe, I really didn't expect this..."
As Qiu Bai looked at the news, he lazily raised his hand and yawned.
I never expected it to make the news...
Luckily, I managed to run away quickly with Xiao An, otherwise things would have been terrible.
"Hmm? A low-level civilization?"
Xuefeng picked up the apple, took a big "crunch" and looked at Peikai beside him, saying, "Then you have indeed underestimated Earth. Perhaps Earth is more powerful than you expect."
Ordinary people might not know, but for her, a demon ninja, it was quite clear.
The Earth's current weakness and peace are merely superficial; the true power the Earth possesses is immense.
Not only against demon ninjas or the demon realm, but now a special otherworldly space has appeared.
"Oh? Do you know something?"
Seeing Yukikaze's confident demeanor, Pekai became somewhat curious about what changes had occurred on Earth, which was classified as a low-level planet.
Xuefeng immediately realized he had said too much and couldn't give himself away.
No, I don't know.
She quickly responded, continuing to look at the TV, pretending to be completely calm.
However, it's not hard to see that Yukikaze is still somewhat flustered inside.
"Um…?"
Pekka gave him a suspicious look.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Bai couldn't help but admire Xue Feng's hard work in keeping the secret; it was truly not easy for him.
"She knows nothing, she's just an idiot."
He casually made a joke.
Yukikaze: ()
Although Xuefeng understood that Qiubai was trying to help him out of a predicament, why was this method so unpleasant?
"I'm not stupid."
She couldn't help but retort, and even smacked her lips.
Qiu Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sulking and the way she was glaring at him.
"Haha~ Yes, yes, you're not stupid~"
He gave a perfunctory reply and even raised his hand to pat Xuefeng's little head.
Yukikaze was truly numb.
How come... it seems like they're really treating me like an idiot and trying to fool me?
She looked at Qiu Bai with a hint of resentment.
"Oh dear~ Qiu Bai, how could you say that? Xue Feng is quite clever, isn't he!"
Lala ate her shrimp chips as she smiled and talked to Yukikaze.
However, Lala's smile, although very beautiful, always reveals a hint of dazedness and clumsiness.
If we're talking about who's the dumbest in some way, maybe it's Lala~
"You guys are really something, discussing such pointless topics." Yuki casually tossed her comic book at them, then continued, "You might as well read comics with me..."
She had barely finished speaking when her gaze was drawn to a news report on television.
[Host: A quick news update: Recently, there have been frequent disappearances. The suspected perpetrator has mutated eyes and developed strange "human"-like appendages. Please be mindful of your personal safety and travel in groups whenever possible. The police investigation is ongoing.]
[Host: [Ghoul image...jpg]]
The accompanying image is unusual; it appears to be humanoid, yet it feels quite peculiar.
The individuals in the photo are surrounded by darkness and blurriness, making them difficult to distinguish.
But Qiu Bai recognized him at a glance.
This is definitely a ghoul, there's no mistake!
Those red-glowing eyes, and the "tentacles" or rather, kagune behind them.
A ghoul who had been hiding his identity and secretly infiltrating among humans for a long time has actually been exposed!?
This is not just ordinary news, because if there are ghouls, it means that humans have been missing for a long time, but the government has been suppressing it.
Since they're exposing it now, they must feel they can't hide the truth any longer and want the public to gradually accept the existence of ghouls and understand the fact that they exist...
But how do ghouls exist in this world?
The government's ability to cover this for so long is probably already quite good...
Chapter 167 Falling Asleep
"Huh... a murderer? Or a monster?"
Yuki looked at the photos on TV and felt a chill run down her spine, but then she suddenly remembered something and glanced at Akihachi. "Onii-chan, with a monster like that around, you'd better make sure you take me and Mikan to school every day!"
"Otherwise... Mikan and I might be in danger. As the older brother, I should protect my younger sister, right?"
She gave Qiu Bai a pitiful look and blinked, looking rather cute.
“Okay, no problem.” Qiu Bai smiled at Youxi with a helpless yet doting expression, and then replied to her: “After all, it is my responsibility as the older brother.”
He stood up, walked up to Yuki, and reached out to pinch her cheeks.
The feel of it—soft and warm!
I have to say... it's really good!
"Ugh... Oh, Onii-chan... please have mercy on me~"
Yuki made strange sounds as she was being rubbed, as if Qiu Bai had done something strange to her.
Qiu Bai froze upon hearing that delicate voice.
Xuefeng, standing nearby, was also furious, his face turning red as he shouted, "Qiubai—!"
"Ahem." Qiu Bai coughed strategically, quickly retracting his hands, then scratched his head. "I just remembered something, I'll go back to my room first... haha..."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the stairwell.
stomping on...
Qiu Bai hurriedly walked to a blind spot in Xue Feng's sight before stopping and taking a few breaths.
He glanced at the kitchen out of the corner of his eye, where Mikan and Ayano were still washing dishes.
It has to be said that Mikan's life has become much easier since Ayano came. Ayano helps Mikan with housework every day.
"not bad……"
Qiu Bai smiled slightly and continued walking upwards.
The house, which used to be just him, Mikan, and Sora, is now becoming more and more lively. Perhaps it's not so bad as it is now.
At least, that's what Qiu Bai thinks.
……
After going upstairs, he strolled leisurely to his room door, reached out and opened it with a "click".
After entering the room, he casually closed the door behind him, which was, after all, a habit of Qiu Bai's.
"call…"
Qiu Bai took a light breath, then turned to look at his bed and immediately noticed a bulge in his bedding.
This left him completely bewildered.
Why is it bulging? What's inside the blanket?
Two questions immediately popped into his mind, and Qiu Bai cautiously walked towards the bed.
He reached out and grabbed the blankets.
shhh-
After turning the bedding over, you can see a girl with long, milky-white hair and fair skin lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
It is the firmament.
Qiu Bai was a little surprised. This little girl came upstairs right after finishing her meal, and then she ended up coming to his room!?
We've been staying here for a few days now, we can't possibly go to the wrong room.
Qiong's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she opened her eyes, propped herself up on the bed, sat up, and raised her hand to rub the corner of her eye.
"Qiu Bai...you've come..."
She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, a faint smile playing on her lips, and opened her arms to hug Qiu Bai. "Mmm... Qiu Bai's bed is so warm, I fell asleep."
Seeing his expression, Qiu Bai smiled indulgently and gently ruffled her hair.
"Qiong, by the way, why are you sleeping in my room?"
He suddenly asked.
Qiong raised her head, looked straight at Qiu Bai, and asked, "Is it... not okay? I want to sleep here tonight."
Looking at Qiong's adorable appearance, how could Qiu Bai bear to refuse her?
"Okay..." she replied, then hesitated for a moment before saying to Qiong, "But since you're already here, Xi will find out later..."
They might come.
