A bold and audacious dream!
Watching the Grand Elder's fury as he killed the Old Ancestor of the Meiling Clan.
The remaining four Elders all wore meaningful smiles.
Demon Emperor watched the dead Old Ancestor of the Tianfu Clan with indifference.
Her fingers stroked her pet.
"Announce it: the Meiling Clan disobeyed orders and has been executed by the Grand Elder as a warning to others."
After Demon Emperor finished speaking, the Grand Elder's expression shifted slightly.
It returned to normal in an instant.
The Second Elder, Chu Qing, stood up: "I will go and deliver the news, lest some blind fools provoke the Demon Emperor.
"Who knows if some ungrateful curs might stir up trouble and forget how the Demon Race was once oppressed? They've barely had a taste of good days before they start making waves again. Wouldn't you agree, Grand Elder?"
The Grand Elder looked at the Second Elder: "The Second Elder is right. In that case, let it be done according to the Demon Emperor's command. I have matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave."
Seeing the matter resolved, the other Elders greeted the Demon Emperor and turned to leave.
Once all the Elders had left...
...the pet in Demon Emperor's arms finally raised its head.
"That old fogey has achieved a Breakthrough to Nine Heavens Profound Immortal; he definitely wants to seize power."
Demon Emperor sneered, "Pay no mind to that old trash. He was the Grand Elder of the Demon Race back then too, and he wanted the position of Demon Emperor. At that time, he was only at the Golden Immortal Middle Stage while I was at the Golden Immortal Early Stage. Because I was younger than him, I surpassed him.
"The old thing still hasn't realized that for me to have such strength at such a young age... my lack of action over these years has made him think he's my equal.
"Let him cause a scene. I didn't have a way to kill him before, but I can use this opportunity to get rid of him and clear my sight. As for his trash grandson, thinking he can compare to my Disciple? He overestimates himself."
Having said that, Demon Emperor called out to the exterior.
"Come in!"
After the Deacon entered, he knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Demon Emperor."
"What is it?"
"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, the person who annihilated the Tianfu Clan has arrived, but..."
"But what?"
"But he knows the Goddess, and his mount is the Auspicious Beast, the Auspicious Beast."
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Demon Emperor's eyes.
"Let him in, and go call Qing Meng over."
Chu Xinghe, Jiang Wanyin, the Auspicious Beast, and Luo Yao followed the Deacon inside.
Demon Emperor's expression was somewhat surprised.
None of these people lacked a noble temperament.
The Auspicious Beast was an Auspicious Beast.
She couldn't see through Chu Xinghe; it was as if he were shrouded in mist.
She couldn't see through the other two girls either.
How strange.
The Auspicious Beast looked at the pet beside Demon Emperor, its eyes filled with astonishment: "Diting?"
Diting wasn't surprised that the Auspicious Beast recognized him.
He was also a Divine Beast, a bringer of good fortune who could distinguish good from evil and was loyally protective of his master.
Moreover, there was a special resonance between such Divine Beasts.
"I didn't expect there to still be an Auspicious Beast in this world. I thought they were extinct."
The Auspicious Beast looked at Diting with disdain: "You think you're the only Divine Beast? There are others elsewhere."
Diting was a bit surprised.
The Auspicious Beast likely wouldn't lie.
"Where?"
The Auspicious Beast turned its head away: "Not telling you."
Diting didn't press further.
He could discern many things.
But he couldn't discern the Auspicious Beast; they were both Auspicious Beasts.
He couldn't even see through Chu Xinghe, Luo Yao, or Jiang Wanyin.
Chu Xinghe possessed the Destiny Halo, and Luo Yao was the Spirit of the System.
As for Jiang Wanyin, she carried something Chu Xinghe had given her.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, Demon Emperor."
"Chu Xinghe."
"Luo Yao."
"Jiang Wanyin."
"Auspicious Beast."
Just then, footsteps sounded from outside.
A tall woman dressed in a black and gold gown appeared, her Phoenix eyes as sharp as knives.
She exuded an Evil Qi that made it difficult for anyone to approach.
When she entered and saw the person she had been longing for...
...her eyes turned soft as water, and her Aura was restrained.
In a flash, she was at Chu Xinghe's side.
The Auspicious Beast, who had been glaring at Diting, saw Zhongli Qingmeng.
Its fur immediately stood on end.
For some reason, it felt a sense of profound terror.
It was an Auspicious Beast; how could this be?
It turned to look at Diting.
Diting gave it a mocking smile.
The Auspicious Beast ignored Diting and regained its composure.
Zhongli Qingmeng pressed close to Chu Xinghe, her long, cool fingers resting on his face.
"Am I not dreaming?"
"I'm here."
Hearing that familiar voice...
...Zhongli Qingmeng's hand pressed directly against Chu Xinghe's neck, forcing his head down.
At the same time, Zhongli Qingmeng stood on her tiptoes.
Feeling the warmth of Chu Xinghe's lips, Zhongli Qingmeng smiled.
Demon Emperor had sat up.
Her eyes widened.
This was the first time she had seen her Disciple like this.
No wonder she never showed anyone a kind face.
It was all because of this man named Chu Xinghe.
"Come, follow me back to my palace."
Before Chu Xinghe could react...
...Zhongli Qingmeng picked him up in her arms.
With a flash, they vanished.
Leaving the Auspicious Beast, Luo Yao, and Jiang Wanyin staring at each other in blank dismay.
Demon Emperor opened her mouth but said nothing.
They arrived at Zhongli Qingmeng's palace.
Before Chu Xinghe could speak...
...Zhongli Qingmeng had already placed him on the bed.
She leaned down and kissed him.
There were glistening tears in the corners of her eyes.
Chu Xinghe looked at the passionate Zhongli Qingmeng.
His own fire was kindled.
The temperature in the room rose rapidly.
Phantom Images intertwined and overlapped.
Slowly, the two merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.
On the bed, on the table, in the bath...
...they left their traces everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Only then did the doors to Zhongli Qingmeng's main hall open.
Happiness was etched between Zhongli Qingmeng's brows.
Chu Xinghe rubbed his lower back.
Even though his kidneys had been strengthened, his back still ached.
Fortunately, he had come out slightly on top.
"Let's go find them!"
Just as Chu Xinghe and Zhongli Qingmeng stepped out...
...they found several gazes fixed upon them.
Jiang Wanyin, Luo Yao, and the Auspicious Beast were staring at the two of them.
Zhongli Qingmeng looked at Luo Yao, her brow furrowing.
Then she looked at Jiang Wanyin.
Jiang Wanyin shook her head.
Zhongli Qingmeng nodded; she already understood what Jiang Wanyin meant.
Luo Yao was very important to Chu Xinghe.
Luo Yao looked at the beautiful Zhongli Qingmeng.
Back when she was still the Spirit of the System, she had felt that Zhongli Qingmeng was very cool.
With a flash...
...before Zhongli Qingmeng could react...
...her slender waist was pulled into Luo Yao's embrace.
Zhongli Qingmeng was completely stunned.
Jiang Wanyin's lips twitched.
Chu Xinghe slapped his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
"This little sister is quite formidable; even Master was pinned down by you."
Zhongli Qingmeng couldn't help but blush.
She tried to break free from Luo Yao, only to find she couldn't.
This filled her heart with shock.
She was someone who had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Early Stage.
Originally, she was at the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, but she broke through during her battle with Chu Xinghe.
Yet even so, she was no match for Chu Xinghe.
"Who are you?"
Zhongli Qingmeng asked Luo Yao.
"I've been with Master for quite a long time; it should be longer than any of you. Back then, I couldn't even take human form."
Chu Xinghe ignored their conversation.
This time, when he looked at Zhongli Qingmeng's information, he found it had all turned into question marks.
How strange.
