167: Night Elf Progenitor

Inside the Imperial Study, the sounds came to an abrupt halt.

A moment later, the palace doors slowly opened.

Queen Ye Li took a deep breath, suppressing the churning emotions in her heart, and walked into the Imperial Study with elegant steps.

As soon as she entered, a strange aura rushed toward her.

Di Yan was already seated upright on the rearranged dragon throne, dressed neatly in his Black-Gold Dragon Robe. A trace of laziness and satisfaction lingered on his handsome face, as if the absurd scene from moments ago had nothing to do with him.

Beside him, Di Yunshu and Mu Xuanyin stood on his left and right. Their dresses were neat and their hair buns were dignified, yet a lingering blush remained on their cheeks, and their eyes rippled with a myriad of charms.

Mu Xuanyin in particular seemed gentle, but Queen Ye Li could clearly feel the heart-palpitating, terrifying power within her body.

Queen Ye Li's gaze first swept over Di Yunshu.

Earth Immortal cultivation, peerless beauty—nothing particularly special.

Then, her gaze fixed on Mu Xuanyin, and her pupils constricted slightly.

It was her!

Although her aura was restrained, that faintly leaking Immortal King dao rhyme could not be mistaken!

This was that mysterious Female Immortal King!

She was actually willing to follow a fatuous ruler who only had Heavenly Immortal cultivation?

The confusion in Queen Ye Li's heart deepened, but she maintained her queenly majesty on the surface.

She bowed slightly and performed a salute: "Queen Ye Li of the Night Elf Clan greets His Majesty Emperor Yan."

Her etiquette was perfect and her tone was flat, but it carried a clear sense of distance.

[Name: Queen Ye Li]

[Cultivation: Middle Stage Immortal King]

[Ordinary Identity: Queen of the Night Elf Clan]

[Taboo Identity: Progenitor of the Night Elves]

[Status: Not Pregnant]

[Destined Son of Destiny: Qin Yao]

[Title: Dominator of Myriad Beasts]

[Luck Interception Progress: 0.99%]

Di Yan leaned back against the dragon throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. His gaze unashamedly sized up Queen Ye Li's exquisite face and slender figure, lingering for a moment on her pointed ears and silver hair, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"Night Elf Queen, Ye Li." Di Yan spoke slowly, his voice carrying a slight post-coital huskiness. "I have heard your name. One of the most beautiful women in the Myriad Laws Star Realm. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation."

These words were flippant, carrying a sense of flirtation.

Queen Ye Li's brows furrowed slightly as she cut straight to the point:

"His Majesty Emperor Yan, I have come this time on behalf of the Ten Great Royal Clans of the Myriad Laws Star Realm to discuss an important matter with Your Majesty."

"Oh? What matter?" Di Yan seemed to lack interest.

Queen Ye Li said solemnly:

"The birth of the Five Evolutions Supreme World is a grand event unseen for hundreds of millions of years in the Myriad Laws Star Domain, filled with endless opportunities."

"But a single tree cannot form a forest, and possessing a jade treasure invites trouble."

"We, the Ten Great Royal Clans of the Myriad Laws Star Realm, are willing to share the opportunities of this world with Your Majesty."

She paused, her tone becoming a bit firmer:

"As long as Your Majesty carves out half of the territory for our Ten Clans to establish branch dojos and share the resources of this newborn world together."

"Our Ten Clans will be willing to form an alliance with the Dynasty to resist external enemies together."

"Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Di Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise, when the Immortal Kings of the Ten Clans descend together, even if Your Majesty has the protection of this Female Immortal King, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep this world intact."

Queen Ye Li's tone turned cold, her words carrying a threat.

Although she was wary of Mu Xuanyin, with the Ten Clans joining forces, there would be over ten Immortal Kings, including Peak Immortal Kings. She did not believe the Dynasty could contend with them.

Hearing this, Di Yan did not get angry but instead laughed.

"Ye Li." He stood up and walked down the jade steps one by one, approaching Queen Ye Li. "Do you know what happens to people who say such things to me?"

Queen Ye Li felt an invisible pressure. Although Di Yan's cultivation seemed low, his imperial majesty and the depth in his eyes made her heart tremble slightly.

She forced herself to remain calm: "I am merely stating facts and thinking for Your Majesty's sake."

"Thinking for my sake?" Di Yan stood still in front of Queen Ye Li, so close that they could smell each other's breath.

He reached out and gently picked up a strand of Queen Ye Li's silver hair, twirling it around his finger:

"Why don't you, the Queen, think for yourself as well?"

"What do you mean?" Queen Ye Li took half a step back, looking at him warily.

"I mean," Di Yan's smile remained unchanged as his gaze became sharp, "become my woman, become my concubine."

"In the future, let alone Immortal Emperor, I can even give you the status of Immortal Venerable, Immortal Emperor, or even higher."

"Why mix with those mediocre fellows and fight over this mere half of a territory?"

Queen Ye Li was stunned at first, then her expression changed drastically:

"Absurd! I am the ruler of a clan; how could I possibly submit to you!"

Di Yan was indifferent:

"Ruler of a clan? In my eyes, compared to being my woman, it is not worth mentioning. By following me, you will be able to see the true vastness of the starry sky."

"Your Majesty is far too arrogant!" Queen Ye Li sneered.

At this moment, Di Yunshu stepped forward gracefully and said tenderly:

"Sister Ye Li, why be so stubborn?"

"His Majesty's abilities are far greater than you imagine."

"Being able to be His Majesty's woman is a heavenly blessing."

Mu Xuanyin also spoke gently, her voice carrying a seductive power:

"Ye Li, although the Ten Clans of Myriad Laws are strong, they are not a monolith."

"The God Emperor's end is right before your eyes. Why must the Queen follow in his old footsteps?"

"His Majesty cherishes talent and loves beauties. This is your Opportunity."

The two of them spoke in harmony, their words carrying a strange seductive power. Combined with Di Yan's deep and confident gaze, it caused a slight loosening in Queen Ye Li's heart.

She looked at Di Yan, thinking of his unbelievable energy, thinking of how an existence like Mu Xuanyin was willing to follow him, and thinking of how Long Yin had brought his entire clan to seek refuge.

Could it be that this Emperor Yan truly had some earth-shattering background?

His promises weren't empty words?

No! I cannot waver! This might be a psychological tactic!

Queen Ye Li pinched herself hard and said sharply:

"Stop speaking nonsense! I will never agree to such an absurd request! Your Majesty should be more realistic and properly consider the proposal of our Ten Clans!"

The two sides then engaged in a fierce verbal confrontation.

Di Yan was sometimes domineering, sometimes seductive, promising her unimaginable prospects; Queen Ye Li was sometimes firm, sometimes analytical, insisting on the territory.

Di Yunshu and Mu Xuanyin chimed in from time to time, either praising Di Yan or kindly advising Queen Ye Li.

After a full hour of debate and psychological sparring, although Queen Ye Li held her ground, her mental energy was heavily drained, and her resolve was no longer as firm as it was at the beginning.

In particular, Di Yan's possessive gaze and the future landscape he described that far exceeded her imagination were like demonic music, slowly eroding her heart's defenses.

Finally, when Di Yan approached again and reached out to touch her face, Queen Ye Li's mind went into a daze, and she didn't immediately dodge.

"Ye Li." Di Yan's voice was low and seductive:

"Stay. My Harem is just missing a Night Queen like you."

Looking at the handsome face so close at hand, Queen Ye Li's heart skipped a beat.

As if possessed, she nodded gently.

Only after nodding did she suddenly snap awake to what she had done! A massive surge of shame and panic immediately welled up in her heart.

Di Yan revealed a victorious smile and beckoned, "Come here."
