252: The two demons have joined forces! Liu Ruyan was overjoyed: This game is even more fun now!

Ye Linghan carried Su Chen as she stepped out of the Qiankun Hall.

Only after she left did that terrifying demonic pressure, which froze the Divine Soul, slowly recede like a tide.

In the deathly silent hall, heavy panting finally began to rise one after another.

They had survived.

The civil and military officials lay paralyzed on the ground, feeling as if every inch of their bones and muscles had been drained; their Souls felt like they had just been fished out of ice water, shivering with cold.

What they had witnessed today were scenes they could not have imagined in their entire lives.

Divine Master Su became a Saint King with a single thought.

The Marquis of Champion used a forbidden tool.

The Quasi-Emperor Ancestor descended.

Divine Master Su pulled out an Emperor Weapon!

Finally, that Demoness of unknown origin descended, killing a Quasi-Emperor with a single finger, and even spoke of deposing the current Empress!

Every single one of these matters was enough to make the Xuan Yuan Continent tremble three times over.

Now, it was like a condensed, absurd play that had passed before their eyes like a revolving lantern.

Some ministers even wondered if they were under some unprecedented illusion.

In the corner, the three Great Xia Old Ancestors stumbled to their feet, looking at each other, only to see the undisguisable horror in each other's eyes.

"Eldest Brother, that one... just who is she?"

The Second Old Ancestor Ji Cang's voice was as dry as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.

The First Old Ancestor Ji Xuan, a being of the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, had nothing but endless bitterness on his face.

"I don't know."

"I only know that there is no difference between her wanting to kill us and crushing three bugs."

His gaze swept across the room, his tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.

"From this day forward, no one in the royal family, high or low, is to discuss or interfere in Su Chen's affairs ever again!"

"Pass down the order: should anyone dare to show the slightest disrespect to Divine Master Su, we will personally clean out the house before that one even has to make a move!"

The other two Old Ancestors were deeply shaken and then nodded heavily.

They were truly afraid... Meanwhile, ten thousand feet above the Great Xia Imperial City.

Ye Linghan carried the "sleeping" Su Chen, strolling leisurely through the sea of clouds.

She lowered her eyes, looking at the handsome face sleeping so peacefully in her arms, a smile swirling in her eerie phoenix eyes.

"Little Husband, how long are you going to keep pretending?"

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness as it rang in Su Chen's ear.

Su Chen's body stiffened imperceptibly, and his two rows of thick eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably.

[Crap! I've been discovered!]

[Is this Crazy Woman's perception that of a monster? I even adjusted my breathing and heartbeat to a perfect sleep state, and she can still see through it?]

[I won't admit it, I won't admit it even if it kills me! Admitting it means facing social death!]

Su Chen continued to maintain his "deep sleep," remaining motionless.

Ye Linghan didn't expose him either.

She just reached out a jade-like slender finger and lightly scratched his handsome nose, her movements carrying the laziness of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Since you love sleeping so much, I will find the most comfortable place for you and let you sleep to your heart's content."

As she spoke, she began to overlook the brightly lit Imperial City below with great interest, as if picking out an interesting toy.

[The most comfortable place?]

The alarm in Su Chen's heart was deactivated, and his mind began to race.

[Does she know I've been wronged and is taking me back to the Everlasting Su Family? That would be great! The rocking chair on Divine Son Peak, my personal handmaidens, my happy old home! Here I come!]

[Or does she have some unknown private paradise? That's not bad either; as long as it's isolated from the world and lets me write my diary in peace!]

Su Chen had already begun to plan his future happy salted fish life in his mind.

However, Ye Linghan's next words plunged him into the depths of Hell.

"Hmm... let's go there."

Her gaze finally locked precisely onto the most boisterous and lively building on Vermilion Bird Street, which was still brightly lit.

—Wen Tianlai Theater.

"I think the plays there are quite interesting."

"That little enchantress called Liu Ruyan also seems to know how to serve people well."

"Throwing you there... I imagine it won't be too boring."

Ye Linghan spoke to herself with a half-smile, her expression of a successful prank making Su Chen's heart freeze instantly.

[No! Please, no!]

Su Chen's inner world collapsed at this moment, roaring frantically.

[Anywhere is fine! Just don't go to that enchantress's territory!]

[One Ye Linghan is enough to deal with, and now adding a Liu Ruyan who only wants to see the world burn? If these two crazies get together, are they trying to turn me into ashes?!]

[That's not being a salted fish! That's putting me directly on the grill and roasting me repeatedly!]

[I don't want to go! I won't go even if I die!]

Su Chen wanted to open his eyes, to resist, to hold her leg and cry, begging her to change the location.

But he didn't dare.

He had no doubt that if he dared to move even an inch, this Crazy Woman would immediately change her face and drop him directly from ten thousand feet in the air to experience what free fall felt like.

He could only continue to play dead, humbly praying in his heart that this Crazy Woman was just joking.

Unfortunately, reality never changed according to his will.

Once Ye Linghan made up her mind, there was no longer the slightest hesitation.

Her figure, holding Su Chen, turned into a streak of light, directly tearing through the Imperial City's anti-air array and diving precisely toward the Wen Tianlai Theater... Wen Tianlai Theater, Heaven Character Number One Private Room.

Liu Ruyan was reclining on a soft couch, her eyes seductive as she bragged to the Demon Sect Protectors around her about the "good news" that had just come from the palace.

"You should have seen it; in the shadow recording stone the scouts sent back, that Empress's face—tsk tsk—was blacker than the bottom of a pot!"

"I bet she's definitely smashing things in the Fengming Hall right now!"

"Hahaha, it's truly the most interesting play in the world!"

Liu Ruyan laughed so hard she doubled over, as if she had already seen Ji Hongxue's exasperated appearance with her own eyes.

Just then.

"*Riiiiip—*"

The Void Realm in front of her was like a thin piece of paper, calmly torn open by a slender, white jade hand.

Ye Linghan walked out from it, carrying Su Chen.

"Sister?"

The seductive smile on Liu Ruyan's face froze instantly, and the wine cup in her hand dropped onto the expensive carpet with a "thud."

"You... why are you back again?"

Ye Linghan ignored her.

She casually threw the "unconscious" Su Chen onto the nearby huge soft couch, which was large enough for ten people to roll around on, like throwing a bolster.

Then she walked straight to the opposite side of Liu Ruyan and sat down, picking up the wine pot and pouring herself a cup of blood-colored nectar, drinking it in one gulp.

Only after doing all this did she lift those eerie phoenix eyes and announce to the petrified Liu Ruyan in a tone that brooked no argument.

"From today on, we're living here."

Liu Ruyan: "..."

She stared blankly at the Su Chen on the soft couch, who was still desperately playing dead, and then at the Ye Linghan opposite her, who had an expression of "this place has been requisitioned by me."

In the next second, a blazing light, a mixture of ecstasy and madness, erupted in those Soul-stealing peach blossom eyes.

She knew.

A more interesting "game" was about to begin!
