92: Take down the Shadow Queen

“Are you the outsiders who wish to see me?”

The Shadow Demon Queen raised her haughty head, her captivating eyes subtly filled with deep disdain.

These outsiders, merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage, dared to seek an audience with her, a fourth-tier big shot?

How dare they!

These weak outsiders were only fit to lick her feet!

The Shadow Demon Queen casually wiggled her smooth,Dark toes, her heart filled with deep contempt.

The few players with Li Ye also fell silent.

They were all outsiders who could communicate with demons, some because they had obtained language books.

Others because they were exceptionally gifted.

Of course, these were a small minority.

If everyone could communicate with demons, then Li Ye's advantage would be gone.

Hearing the disdainful tone, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but swallow.

This Shadow Demon Queen seems difficult to fool...

So what about this quest?

Seeing this situation, Yu Wanqing could only bite the bullet and said, neither humble nor arrogant:

“Shadow Demon Queen, we are the outsiders who wish to seek your help. Please, could you give us a chance…”

“Hmph, a chance? Little Human girl, if you are willing to kneel and kowtow, and by the way, lick my toes, then perhaps I might agree to your request…”

The Shadow Demon Queen proudly raised her foot, speaking in an arrogant manner.

Seeing the Shadow Demon Queen’s demeanor, all the male players except Li Ye widened their eyes, as if saying… there’s such a good thing???

However, as a female, Yu Wanqing felt no pleasure from taking advantage of the situation; on the contrary, she felt deeply insulted!

“This… I beg the Shadow Demon Queen’s forgiveness, but I have no such intention.”

Hearing this, the Shadow Demon Queen sneered,

“Heh heh, you all want to curry favor with me and get information about the Blood Shadow King, right? Save your breath, you are not his match. And you, little girl, if you can’t even do something like this, then I advise you not to fight the Blood Shadow King…”

…

Who the hell wants to fight that kind of existence…

Yu Wanqing thought to herself.

But just then, an ugly, obese man suddenly shouted:

“Shadow Demon Queen, I am willing to complete this task! I can do this!”

His name was Men Jiang.

Speaking of Men Jiang, in his previous life, due to overeating, he weighed about four hundred pounds and was often bullied, with no one liking him. However, after Transmigration to this Wasteland world, he started with a single Spiritual Root and luckily obtained many Opportunities, and his strength was not to be underestimated.

And facing the Shadow Demon Queen’s reward, Men Jiang was very excited.

However, the Shadow Demon Queen didn't fall for it.

The next moment, a shadow flashed, and Men Jiang’s head suddenly exploded.

“You’re not worthy, you ugly toad.”

The Shadow Demon Queen mocked.

Everyone present then realized that the Shadow Demon Queen was a beauty-obsessed person.

Li Ye also understood that conventional methods would not work in this situation.

His eyes suddenly turned light purple.

At the same time, the Shadow Demon Queen began to feel hazy, her eyes also subtly turning purple…

Subsequently, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Li Ye.

“Who is this person… Why do I feel so familiar, handsome… charismatic… He seems to be my future husband… No, he might even be my master…”

After being charmed, the Shadow Demon Queen’s expression changed.

Just when everyone thought no one could complete this task, the Shadow Demon Queen suddenly strode gracefully to Li Ye’s front.

She quickly lowered her head and knelt on one knee.

“Greetings, Master, my name is Shadow Lily, you can also call me Xiao Li…”

Everyone else was stunned.

They could hardly believe that Li Ye possessed such an ability…

To be able to make a terrifying demon kneel in submission.

Yu Wanqing looked at Li Ye with even more astonishment.

Recalling their fight, Li Ye had a three-meter-tall girl behind him, and that girl had two demon horns on her head… she suddenly understood something.

Although Yan Xiaoji wasn’t subdued by Li Ye using this method, it was normal for Yu Wanqing not to know.

[Side Quest 2 completed, rewards include partial intelligence, provided by Shadow Lily.]

After a prompt, Li Ye understood that the Nine Yin Charming Eyes had taken effect.

“Hmm, very good. Drive out the irrelevant people.”

Li Ye said, stroking the Shadow Demon Queen’s head.

“Yes, my dear Master.”

The Shadow Demon Queen smiled ingratiatingly.

Then she stood up and continued to roar at the others in a haughty tone:

“What are you all staring at? Hurry up and get out! If you displease my Master, I’ll make you regret it.”

The Shadow Demon Queen’s scolding made the other players very angry.

But they dared not show it.

One must know, the Shadow Demon Queen was a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.

Helplessly, they could only leave one after another.

Leaving only the Shadow Demon Queen and Li Ye.

And Yu Wanqing looked at Li Ye with an unwilling expression.

…

And the Shadow Demon Queen said ingratiatingly:

“Master, would you like to talk in my bedroom? I have important information to tell you.”

Subsequently, she began to touch and pull Li Ye, behaving very improperly.

Clearly, she wanted to do some fun things with Li Ye.

Of course, Li Ye could understand.

After all, she was charmed by his Nine Yin Charming Eyes, so it was hard not to think about that room.

After all, Ning Jiuxiao also came about this way.

So, Li Ye first went to the bedroom with the Shadow Demon Queen to discuss a project worth billions, and only then did he obtain the subsequent intelligence.

Originally, the Blood Shadow King was supposed to be the ruler of both clans, but he suffered Qi Deviation while attempting to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage.

Imagine, what state would a Demon Race member be in if they suffered Qi Deviation?

Thus, the Blood Shadow King began a large-scale massacre, devastating both the Shadow Demon Clan and the Blood Ghost Clan.

At that time, the Blood Shadow King had not completely lost his mind.

He still retained a portion of his sanity.

Thus, the Blood Shadow King had two personalities.

One personality was the original benevolent Blood Shadow King.

The other personality was the newly born evil thought.

The evil thought would suppress the good thought.

For this reason, when his sanity could still suppress his evil thoughts, he dispatched some Blood Ghost Clan members to attack the Human Race outside.

Thereby provoking the Human Race, making some humans resent him, and inviting them to come and eliminate his increasingly evil self.

The current Blood Shadow King was practically living a life worse than death…

At this point, Shadow Lily couldn't help but cry out.

Li Ye wiped away her tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand, then kissed the corner of her eye.

This gesture flustered Shadow Lily.

Oh… so shy…

Shadow Lily was overcome with shyness, so she kissed Li Ye’s finger to express her gratitude.

After the two of them lingered for a while,

On the Blood Ghost Clan’s side, someone also obtained information by currying favor with the Blood Ghost Clan Leader.

This person was Black Gentleman, and… Buddha Dragon Child.

That’s right, Buddha Dragon Child, upon seeing Black Gentleman, decided to team up with him.

While completing this special task, the two planned to eliminate Li Ye.

This was not only to get the top-ranked rewards, but more importantly, neither of them could stand Li Ye being above them.

Of course, Li Ye was unaware of the information concerning Black Gentleman.

After asking about the information, Li Ye hugged Shadow Lily, and kissed her again, making her flustered and at a loss.

“Husband, what are you doing~”

After Shadow Lily finished discussing the project with Li Ye, her identity changed, becoming one of Li Ye’s wives.

Thus, Shadow Lily was very grateful to Li Ye.

“Lili, do you have resources for Breakthrough to Golden Core, such as Golden Essence Pill, Facing Yuan Pill, gathering summit pill, and Major Heavenly Cycle Technique and Minor Heavenly Cycle Technique…?”

Although Li Ye already had the recipes for Golden Essence Pill and Facing Yuan Pill, if he could get these resources for free, who would choose to diligently practice Alchemy like Xiao Yan?

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was diligently practicing Alchemy at home, still couldn’t figure out why her panties were missing, completely baffled…

“Oh, I just realized Husband, you’re still a little kid at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Shadow Lily teased.

“Then didn’t a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor still become my little darling wife?”

Li Ye said, caressing Shadow Lily and teasing her.

“You’re annoying! I’ll get you the resources right away.”

Shadow Lily quickly ordered someone to find Human Race Cultivation resources.

The Demon Race’s Cultivation methods were different from the Human Race’s.

However, since the Shadow Demon Clan was a powerful fourth-tier clan and a top force in the third-tier Secret Realm, they naturally had many Golden Core Opportunities.

Soon, the female Shadow Demon who had brought the players in earlier walked in holding a treasure chest, giving Li Ye a surprised look.

You see, although the Shadow Demon Queen was a beauty-obsessed person, and Li Ye did look quite handsome and refined, that didn’t mean he could charm the Shadow Demon Queen, right?

But she wouldn’t try to dissuade her; after all, this was the Shadow Demon Queen’s decision, and she couldn’t say anything…

However, as she left, she gave Li Ye a disdainful look, as if mocking him for being a kept man…

Li Ye looked at her gaze and thought to himself:

“Keep looking, keep looking, and in two days, I’ll take you down too.”

Regarding the Shadow Demon Queen, Li Ye didn’t have to worry about her getting jealous.

After all, she wasn’t like Ning Jiuxiao; Ning Jiuxiao herself was a yandere.

…

[Obtained 150 top-grade Golden Essence Pills]

[Obtained 50 Facing Yuan Pills]

[Obtained 50 gathering summit pills]

[Obtained Major Heavenly Cycle Technique]

[Obtained Minor Heavenly Cycle Technique]

Li Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw that he had directly obtained the means to form a ninth-grade Golden Core.

“Holy cow, as expected of a Nascent Soul sugar mommy.”

Li Ye unceremoniously accepted them.

Then, without even checking, he swallowed the ones he needed to consume.

Soon, in less than two hours, Li Ye’s entire Aura continuously surged…

Li Ye knew very well that although he might not be the first to form a Golden Core, he would definitely be the first to form a ninth-grade Golden Core.

Spiritual Qi continuously swirled around his body, and a strangely hot Aura emanating from Li Ye surprised even the fourth-tier Middle Stage Shadow Lily.

Flashes of Lightning Tribulation streaked across the sky…

“Oh? Am I Undergoing Tribulation now?”

So Li Ye quickly flashed into mid-air, and under the astonished gazes of many demons and players, bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck his body.

Soon, in less than half an hour, Li Ye successfully Broke Through to the Golden Core Early Stage.

[Congratulations to Eternal Night for being the first player to form a ninth-grade Golden Core.]

…

The announcement played three times.

“I never thought this mission would be so easy. It’s great. According to my ability to cross major realms, even ordinary Nascent Soul powerhouses are no match for me now.”

Then, Li Ye checked his data panel.

“Nearly a hundred thousand combat power, plus other powerful attributes, even if I can’t defeat a Nascent Soul powerhouse, escaping certainly won’t be a problem…”

Li Ye said excitedly.

And Li Ye’s Breakthrough to Golden Core was also witnessed by many players.

Some quick-reacting ones immediately opened the combat power ranking to see Li Ye’s combat power!

Or opened the Cultivation ranking to see Li Ye’s Cultivation!

Those who reacted a bit slower were amazed by Li Ye’s power.

And the chat channel was also full of discussions about Li Ye.

[Damn, Li Ye is at the Golden Core Stage, and he even underwent Lightning Tribulation! Could it be a seventh-grade Golden Core or higher?]

[Too little, too little! Think bigger! How could our number one player, Eternal Night, only be a seventh-grade Golden Core! Be bolder, at least an eighth-grade!]

[Still not bold enough! Let’s guess again, it should be a ninth-grade!]

[Eternal Night is so cool! He was clearly deep in the quest mire, yet he still managed to Breakthrough to Golden Core.]

…

After Li Ye Broke Through to Golden Core, it happened to be this moment…

[Side Quest 3: All players will gather at 6 AM tomorrow, led by the Shadow Demon Clan Chief | Blood Ghost Clan Leader, to meet the Blood Shadow King.]

The quest was issued so quickly mainly because both sides of players had quickly made contact with their respective Clan Chiefs.

Hence, the subsequent development of the quest.

Soon, night fell. The Shadow Demon Queen didn’t want Li Ye to leave, and Li Ye was happy with that. Anyway, he had already spent the night with Xiao Luo yesterday, so tonight he would sleep with his new wife, Shadow Lily.

However, before going to sleep, there were still ten ranked matches to play.

Of course, Li Ye, with his greatly increased strength, easily finished the ten ranked matches and then collected his rewards.

The night passed without a word. At 6 AM, the Shadow Demon Queen gathered the elites of the Shadow Demon Clan and the players, looking very serious.

Beside her were Li Ye and his companions, Yan Xiaoji, Xiao Luolin, and so on.

They all looked at Li Ye with complicated expressions.

After all, they hadn't expected Li Ye to complete the quest in such a manner…
