The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hesitated. For days, she had treated Master Wumei with the utmost respect. On one hand, she found his Buddhist teachings profound and compelling; on the other, she was deeply concerned for the safety of Yuan Wufeng.
The Buddhist realm had dispatched several high-ranking monks to "enlighten" Yuan Wufeng, and given his temper, he was likely to resist violently. The Queen feared that if the Buddhist masters interrupted him during the critical moment of his cultivation breakthrough, it would cause irreparable damage to his core—a true despair. She hoped that by building a rapport with Master Wumei now, she might find an opportunity to plead for mercy on Yuan Wufeng's behalf when the time came.
The Buddhist realm was immensely powerful, its influence permeating every corner of the myriad worlds. Even with her million-strong demon army, the Queen could not openly oppose such a force. She was forced to take a compromise approach. Otherwise, as a queen who had dominated the Heavenly Demon Realm for ten millennia, would she have ever spoken to Master Wumei in such a conciliatory tone?
