74: How can you prove that you are you?
[Ding! The Daily Intelligence System has been updated!]
[Daily Intelligence 1: The Moon Demon is not dead. At noon tomorrow, when it is at its weakest, it will possess a white stray cat in the residence!]
Hiss!
Old Wang is in the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
He actually didn't hack the Moon Demon to death.
It seems this ancient Moon Demon still has some tricks up its sleeve!
But possessing a stray cat... Chen Xian revealed a sinister smile.
He continued reading down.
[Daily Intelligence 2: Liu Ming, the Demon Race's Demon Seed, has infiltrated Jubei City to search for the lost fire seed!]
Oho!
It seems this is the poser whose fire seed I snatched two days ago.
Having lost the fire seed, he must be unwilling to let it go.
Chen Xian had expected this long ago.
Since he's a Demon Seed!
A future Prodigy of the Demon Race, he must have many treasures on him.
He let out a "Jie jie jie" laugh!
[Daily Intelligence 3: The Southern Continent's Ye Family Old Ancestor has brought a piece of blazing dragon bone, intending to mediate in Jubei City to release the members of the Ye Family!]
blazing dragon bone!
Although Chen Xian hadn't been soul-transmigrated for long, he had inherited some of the original body's memories.
The blazing dragon bone was the remains of a Blazing Dragon; it was not only incredibly hard but also rich in the Blazing Dragon's flame attribute.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a good thing!
Tsk tsk tsk!
It looks like today is my lucky day!
A long time passed.
Chen Buyu finally rushed over in a hurry with a group from the Divine Strategy Army.
However, when they saw Chen Xian leisurely drinking tea in the back garden,
they were all stunned for a moment!
When Chen Xian saw them, he was just about to stand up.
Only to see Chen Buyu suddenly draw the a type of long chinese saber at his waist, directly slashing toward Chen Xian.
"You damned thing, how dare you attempt Possession of my nephew? Die!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian hurriedly shouted, "Second Uncle, it's me! I haven't been possessed!"
But by the time he said this, it was too late.
Chen Buyu's a type of long chinese saber had already fallen.
A deep blade mark was carved into the back garden!
Chen Xian wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead.
Holy crap, that was close, luckily I dodged!
Otherwise, not dying at the hands of the Demon Lord but being hacked to death by his Second Uncle instead—how unjust would that be!
Chen Buyu also snapped out of it at this moment.
His gaze stared straight at Chen Xian.
"You say you haven't been possessed? Do you have any proof?"
Chen Xian looked embarrassed.
Damn, how do I even prove this?
"The Demon Lord's strength has reached the Nascent Soul Stage. How did you dodge?"
Chen Xian coughed.
"It was my Cook! My Cook is here!"
These words actually made Chen Buyu lower his guard.
"If that old thing made a move, then it's only natural the Demon Lord was hacked to death. However, there's still the Moon Demon... I still don't believe you, unless you prove it to me!"
"How do I prove it?"
Chen Xian was still a bit nervous at this moment.
Because, in the end, he was an impostor who had occupied another's nest; compared to the original body, there was no difference between him and the Moon Demon!
Chen Buyu walked up to Chen Xian.
He asked solemnly, "It's simple. I ask, you answer!"
"Do you still like Liu Ruyan?"
These words instantly broke Chen Xian's defense.
Dammit, what kind of question is this?
Especially since the people from the Divine Strategy Army all looked at Chen Xian with curiosity.
A few seconds later.
Chen Xian finally said apprehensively, "I do!"
After he said this,
Chen Buyu burst into loud laughter.
He slapped Chen Xian's shoulder hard.
"I knew you couldn't forget her, kid!"
Seeing his Second Uncle laughing, Chen Xian instantly realized.
"Second Uncle, did you already know I was the real one?"
Chen Buyu nodded.
"Of course. If I didn't even have this much judgment, how could I command thousands of troops? Besides, with that dead Cook around, forget the Moon Demon—even someone stronger would be hacked down!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian immediately understood that Chen Buyu probably knew quite a bit of the inside story.
This was likely a hidden piece left behind by his old man when he was alive.
All for the sake of ensuring he survived in the future.
His old man really went to great lengths.
But looking at his Second Uncle grinning in front of him, Chen Xian couldn't help but complain, "Second Uncle, since you knew I was the real one, why did you make me prove anything!"
"Heh, Second Uncle just wanted to see if you still liked that woman!"
"Since you do, Great Nephew, just say the word and Second Uncle will immediately lead the Divine Strategy Army to kidnap her for you, so you two can have your wedding night tonight!"
"Before, Second Uncle thought about introducing a woman to you, but thinking about it now, since you like her, why not just go for her!"
Chen Xian was stunned into silence by Chen Buyu's words for a long time.
"Second Uncle, twisted melons aren't sweet."
He had only said that earlier to align as much as possible with the original body's thoughts. After all, the original body was Liu Ruyan's simp, but he wasn't!
"Even if twisted melons aren't sweet, they quench your thirst! Use that Liu Ruyan first, and in the future, Second Uncle will find you a better one. This way, it neither goes against your father's wishes nor wrongs you. You can also produce many descendants for the Old Chen Family—it's truly killing three birds with one stone!"
Chen Xian was completely stunned by his Second Uncle's fierce logic.
After persuading for fifteen minutes,
only then did Chen Buyu give up and lead the people from the Divine Strategy Army away from the Marquis Jubeis Residence in a noisy crowd.
As for Chen Xian, he finally wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Good grief.
Facing the Demon Lord, he didn't sweat!
Facing the Moon Demon, he didn't sweat!
Facing his Second Uncle, he really did sweat.
After all, he was truly afraid that his Second Uncle would act on impulse and bring that woman Liu Ruyan over.
Although she looked good and he liked her, Chen Xian wasn't an animal that thought with his lower half.
A woman like her was destined not to be someone who could submit to him.
Not until there were no more outsiders in the residence,
Chen Xian finally returned to his room and lay on the bed exhausted.
This night,
the Demon Lord Scholar,
the Moon Demon,
Cook Old Wang,
and Chen Buyu,
every one of them made Chen Xian feel mentally and physically exhausted.
He had thought that by creating Golden Core Stage guards, he could ensure his safety.
And walk unhindered in Jubei City!
But fate had played a minor joke on him; the enemies on the other side started at the Nascent Soul Stage, which truly left Chen Xian completely numb!
Fortunately, there was Cook Old Wang.
Otherwise, he really would have died without a place for burial.
Chen Xian shook his head.
Forget it, I won't think about it.
He drifted straight into a deep sleep.
However, someone did not sleep this night!
Li Yu paced back and forth anxiously in the backyard.
"Why won't you let me go see? If he died at the hands of the Demon Lord, how could Invincible Chen's former elite soldiers and fierce generals let the matter rest?"
As a princess of the current dynasty,
she knew full well that although Invincible Chen was only a Marquis, the power behind him was immense.
Otherwise, Imperial Father wouldn't place such importance on Jubei City, nor would he repeatedly confirm if Invincible Chen was truly dead after his passing.
If Chen Xian really died, Li Yu didn't dare imagine what Jubei City would become!
Li Xun sat on a chair and took a faint sip of tea.
"It's precisely because I know that I won't let you get involved."
"Imperial Sister, do you really think a mere Demon Lord would kill Chen Xian?"
