335: What do you think of Xiaoyao?

“You all may withdraw; I have some words I wish to speak with Commander Su,” Moye Chen suddenly said.

The various Hall Masters exchanged glances, then respectfully retreated.

The Empress, perhaps recalling the scene of being forcibly kissed by Su Xiaobai, also did not stay and scurried away.

Only Su Xiaobai and Moye Chen remained on the field.

“Holy Monarch, to let that group of Yao Race leave like this, isn’t it letting them off too easily?” Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but ask.

Moye Chen smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, since they’ve come to my Great Zhou, how could they leave so easily without leaving something behind?”

He pointed a finger towards the Void Realm in front of him, and the Soul Burial Sword, like an arrow released from a bowstring, shot into the Void Realm and disappeared.

...

A hundred miles away.

Demon King Hongye and the others were laughing heartily.

“This time, not only did we perfectly complete the mission of interrupting Moye Chen’s Breakthrough, but we also had Su Xiaobai to block them for us. It’s too good to be true!” the Goat Demon said excitedly.

Demon King Hongye was also visibly pleased, “When I return to the Yao Race this time, I will petition His Majesty the Demon Emperor to establish mahjong parlors throughout the country. This King wants to play from morning till night!”

The Stone Giant said with some concern, “This is Great Zhou’s territory after all. We ruined their good fortune. Can we really leave unharmed?”

“Heh,” Demon King Hongye said disdainfully, “Moye Chen’s Breakthrough failed, and he is currently in a weakened state. He is not to be feared.

As for that Great Zhou Empress, even if her talent is extraordinary, she is only at the Second Realm Middle Stage. What can she do to this King?”

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the Void Realm in front of him suddenly shattered!

A black shadow shot out from the Void Realm!

Whoosh!

The completely black Soul Burial Sword, with an unstoppable aura, pierced towards Demon King Hongye. Its speed was so fast that people couldn’t react in time.

A strong sense of crisis enveloped Demon King Hongye’s Heart-Nature, and he quickly raised both hands to block.

Pfft!

“Ah!”

A severed arm flew out, and Demon King Hongye let out a painful roar.

At the location of his left arm, the wound was neat and smooth, encircled by a layer of black mist, preventing his flesh from regenerating.

“Damn it! Moye Chen, you severed my left arm! I am irreconcilable with you!”

Demon King Hongye uttered a fierce threat, then accelerated, fleeing in the direction of the Southern Demon Kingdom.

The Goat Demon and Stone Giant quickly followed, fearing they would be left behind.

They felt fortunate in their hearts that the Soul Burial Sword wasn’t tracking them, otherwise, with their strength, there would be nothing left of them by now.

...

Ghost Gate Demon Sect.

The Soul Burial Sword shattered the Void Realm and emerged, returning to Moye Chen’s front.

A huge arm, like that of some feline, hung from the tip of the sword.

Su Xiaobai immediately recognized that severed arm; wasn’t it Demon King Hongye’s arm?!

In just the time it takes for a cup of tea, the Holy Monarch had severed Demon King Hongye’s left arm!

This strength... one could only say, was he indeed the man who once struck fear into the Yao Race?

“Sit down. Later, I’ll bring some leopard meat back. The meat of a Second Realm Great Demon is very nourishing.”

Moye Chen seemed unconcerned by this achievement. With a wave of his hand, a stone table and two stone stools appeared before them.

Su Xiaobai also sat down unceremoniously.

He was a great contributor now, the MVP of the entire scene! He had the confidence.

Moye Chen took out ice black tea and poured it for both of them.

Su Xiaobai’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t tell that the Holy Monarch liked drinking ice black tea so much.

“You seemed to have known early on that there were restrictions on breaking through to the Third Realm?” Moye Chen said slowly while drinking ice black tea.

“...” Su Xiaobai remained silent, only nodding.

“Although I don’t know how you found out, I know that everyone has their own secrets, so I won’t press you.”

Su Xiaobai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“And this time, you saved me, so I owe you a favor.”

“Haha, how can I accept this?” Su Xiaobai scratched his head awkwardly, but in his heart, he was already beaming with joy.

Moye Chen glanced at him indifferently, then smiled and shook his head.

“You are already considered to be below only one person and above tens of thousands, yet your Heart-Nature is still like a child’s, not stable at all.”

Su Xiaobai was startled. Normally, Moye Chen always spoke to him with Yin and Yang undertones, but today, his tone carried a hint of elder’s care and helplessness?

Across from him, Moye Chen was silent for a moment, then finally spoke slowly, “What do you think of Xiao Yao?”

Xiao Yao referred to the Empress.

Su Xiaobai, who was drinking ice black tea, stiffened and immediately said seriously, “This subject is loyal to Your Majesty and has no improper thoughts whatsoever! This time, it was also to save the Holy Monarch, so I had no choice but to offend Your Majesty.”

“Oh?” Moye Chen looked at him with a strange expression, “You’ve seen Xiao Yao’s true appearance many times. There shouldn’t be any man who wouldn’t be moved, right? Moreover, a lecher like you, do you really not want to marry her?”

What do you mean, a lecher like me? I only have two wives so far, alright! ...Su Xiaobai roared in his heart.

But Moye Chen’s words also made him unable to help but swallow.

To say he had no thoughts at all, how could that be possible?

That tyrant’s beauty, which could make fish sink and wild geese fall, and her complete trust in him, any man would have fallen for her!

But he was afraid Moye Chen would hit him, and he was also afraid of Senior Sister and Ling’er being sad.

Moreover, as the ruler of a nation, if the Empress were to marry someone who already had a family, how would the outside world view her? It just wouldn’t make sense, right?

Seeing Su Xiaobai’s conflicted expression, Moye Chen chuckled, “If it were in the past, I definitely wouldn’t agree to this marriage.

But this time, after my Breakthrough failed, I’ve come to understand many things. A great war is about to break out, and it will be a battle for the survival of our race.”

A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes, “Even I am not sure if I can survive this great war. Since that is the case, I should not continue to be selfish. I should entrust her to someone trustworthy.”

“Although you are a bit promiscuous, if there is anyone else in the entire Great Zhou who can be worthy of her, it’s probably only you.”

Is this an acknowledgment from a father-in-law? ...Although Su Xiaobai joked inwardly, a serious expression appeared on his face.

He also knew that the Yao Race already knew about Moye Chen’s failed Breakthrough.

The next step would likely be their armies approaching the border.

As if seeing his thoughts, Moye Chen smiled, “Alright, if the Yao Race comes, that will be the business of us old fellows. You don’t need to worry about it.

You young people are the future of my Great Zhou. What you need to do is grow strong and shoulder the future responsibilities.”

“As for you and Xiao Yao’s matter, although I said that, don’t be too happy. The most important thing is Xiao Yao’s attitude. If she doesn’t like you, my approval is useless,” Moye Chen said leisurely.

Su Xiaobai didn’t know how to respond. He felt that the tyrant mostly regarded him as a playmate, and that kind of affection was probably still far off.

“Alright, you may leave now. I want to be alone...” Moye Chen issued a polite dismissal.

Su Xiaobai nodded slightly and retreated, taking with him the fattest piece of meat from Demon King Hongye’s left arm.

Moye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky to the south, a trace of confusion in his eyes, “Strange, with the Demon Emperor’s Qi and blood, he should have been able to step into the Half-Step Third Realm. How exactly did he manage it?”
