Chapter 3040
The First Heir
The girl stomped her feet, pouted, and followed Philip out of this place. Soon, Philip returned to First
Palace with the girl and the turtle shell.
When the girl saw Philipâs luxurious house, she kept running around the villa in awe.
Martha scowled when she saw Philip returning with a young girl of 17 or 18 years old but dared not say
anything.
Philip was still such a playboy, flirting with a young girl.
What did he take Wynn for? Speaking of which, where was Wynn?
âPhilip, why isnât Wynn back with you? She has been away for a while. Where did she go?â Martha
walked over with tea and asked with a smile.
âAunt, thanks,â the girl said sweetly.
Philip frowned, thought about it, and explained, âWynnie is dealing with something and wonât be back
so soon.â
Hearing this, Martha pursed her lips, turned around, and left.
Philip glanced at the girl who was sitting on the sofa with her two legs dangling. The Beelzebub lay
quietly beside her as if it was tired.
âTell me who you are and whatâs going on with this little Beelzebub. Why is the Heavenly Court after
you?â Philip asked coldly.
The girl rolled her eyes and said, âBig Brother, Iâm not a bad person. Iâm the guardian maiden, and I
come from the stargate. The grandfathers told me that my duty is to guard the stargate. Blackie was
raised in the stargate and ran away with me. The Heavenly Court wants to capture Blackie for
research. Iâm telling the truth.â
Seeing the sincerity in the girlâs eyes, Philip frowned and asked, âYou said youâre a guardian of the
stargate?â
The girl nodded vigorously and said, âThis is the duty of the guardian maiden. Each guardian maiden
must guard the stargate for five years. Due to our special constitution, we have a natural affinity to the
stargate and can know what happens inside the stargate. Moreover, our physique can greatly suppress
the stargate, butâ¦â
At this point, the girlâs face dimmed as she said with tears in her eyes, âThe stargate is too powerful
and will exhaust the guardian maidenâs special physique. In the end, every guardian maiden will die
due to the loss of physical functions. So, I want to take advantage of the present and come out to look
at the world.â
The girl smiled excitedly and said, âI saw a lot of interesting things along the way as well as many
interesting people.â
Seeing the girlâs changing moods between sadness and excitement, Philip fell silent.
A young girl in her late teens had to take on the important task of guarding the stargate, which would
eventually lead to her demise.
Philip sighed helplessly. Maybe he had more reasons to go to Cochly Mountain to seek answers now.
Then, he looked at Blackie and said, âAre you sure that itâs a Beelzebub from the other shore?â
The girl nodded and said, âYes, Blackie is very kind, and weâve been raising it. It helps us guard the
stargate too.â
However, Philip scowled and said, âIf I remember correctly, Beelzebub is a beast from the other side.
They almost destroyed the foundation and civilization of our human race. Why are you raising such a
beast?â
The girl had expected that Philip would say this and said, âYouâve misunderstood. Blackie didnât do
those things. Itâs different from those Beelzebubs. Itâs very kind and has always been with me. Please
donât hurt it.â
The girlâs eyes were full of tears. Blackie also sensed something and suddenly sat up. It stared at Philip
with a pair of black eyes and growled.
Philip stared at Blackieâs black eyes, and his face darkened. After looking at it for a long time, he said,
âIt shouldnât appear in the secular world. Youâll only cause more trouble by bringing it out, so I must
send you back to Cochly Mountain as soon as possible. I need to go there as well, so you can go with
me.â
Hearing this, the girlâs face darkened as she asked, âDo I have to go back? I still want to explore the
outside world.â
