126: The knife comes

"I'm not, I didn't... I love you!"

Chen Qingxuan's body shuddered.

Seeing that things were getting out of control, he hurriedly cupped Jiang Susu's rosy cheeks and kissed her passionately.

"Mmm~"

A flush of crimson lingered on Jiang Susu's pretty face;

She hugged Chen Qingxuan's lean lower back while flashing a sweet smile. "I knew you understood me, Brother... Susu won't cause them trouble anymore... but Brother must also promise me... don't have too much contact with them in the future!"

"..."

Chen Qingxuan's smile looked worse than a crying face.

Back when the two first met, he had noticed his good sister's extraordinary possessiveness toward him... it was the kind of fiery intensity where those who followed her prospered and those who opposed her perished;

That was why he had hurriedly sent her to Yihua Palace.

Times had changed, and now Jiang Susu had not only remained the same but had also gained powerful strength. Wasn't this possessiveness... like a tiger with wings?

Fortunately, Chen Qingxuan was no longer an inexperienced young virgin. "Of course... haha, if I have time, I'll definitely spend it with you first... seeing them is for official business... for example, to tell them that the two of us have finally ended up together... shouldn't I share this joy with my family?"

"Oh my~"

Jiang Susu buried her head in Chen Qingxuan's chest shyly. "Brother, your heart is beating so fast!"

"Holding you... how could it not be fast?" Chen Qingxuan said meaningfully.

"You're terrible~"

After a long while of intimacy;

Chen Qingxuan emerged from the room with his clothes disheveled.

Looking at the physically and mentally exhausted Chen Qingxuan, Luo Yin snorted, "I said she was so beautiful... why were you acting like you were getting the short end of the stick back then? It turns out you knew all along she would act recklessly?"

Chen Qingxuan coughed lightly. "In the future, when I'm not around... can you help me keep an eye on her?"

"Me?" Luo Yin pointed at herself and then gave a cold laugh. "If I weren't powerful enough, I would have been dragged in for interrogation by her just now too."

"What?"

Chen Qingxuan looked taken aback;

But on second thought, it seemed quite reasonable.

This reminded him of when he had just returned, and his Beloved Disciple had blocked his way to question his relationship with Jiang Susu, looking quite unhappy.

She had probably almost been interrogated as well.

Luckily, a fight didn't break out.

"Wait for me to investigate a few times... I'll discipline her back."

Chen Qingxuan said solemnly.

Immediately after, he truthfully informed Luo Yin about his plan to fake being the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor.

"Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor?" Luo Yin looked surprised and praised, "This is a good method! I didn't expect your brain to be so useful."

"Look at what you're saying. Without me, the Cangyun Continent would be destroyed."

Chen Qingxuan said confidently.

Luo Yin fell silent.

Looking at the high-spirited Chen Qingxuan, she suddenly asked in the next moment, "Do you have any dreams?"

"What? Do you have the ability to help people realize their dreams?"

"I'm being serious... is there anything you want to do but haven't done?"

"Emm..."

Chen Qingxuan thought for a moment.

He raised his eyes to look at Luo Yin, scanning her from top to bottom.

"Hey!"

Luo Yin felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at and frowned. "I'm asking about your dream... why are you looking at me?"

A smile curled at the corner of Chen Qingxuan's mouth. "I'm thinking, why would you ask me this question?"

"I just asked casually!"

A flash of guilt crossed Luo Yin's eyes as she changed the subject. "You'd better think carefully about how you're going to deal with other people's suspicions if Lin Ya says you're the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor as you expected!"

"No rush, I'm not going to the Demon Alliance for a few days."

...Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

The appearance of a figure caused the atmosphere in the Demon Alliance's main hall to change abruptly—it was Chen Qingxuan.

As a notorious figure on the Cangyun Continent, this was his first time coming to the Demon Alliance Headquarters, and he had recently claimed to be the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor... each of these facts made it hard for people to remain calm.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Qingxuan followed Lin Ya into the hall and cupped his hands toward the Crimson Saint sitting in the main seat. "Alliance Master Chi, I have heard much of your great name!"

"Young Master Chen, I have heard much of your great name as well."

The Crimson Saint also stood up and cupped his hands.

Although he was the noble leader of the Demon Alliance, he didn't dare to put on any airs before the unfathomably strong Chen Qingxuan.

Moreover, the other party was someone the Demon Alliance was trying its best to recruit.

Adding to that the sudden claim of being the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor... these past few days, he hadn't even been in the mood for his women.

"I have come today..."

Chen Qingxuan hadn't finished his sentence;

At this moment, an Elder acting on the Crimson Saint's instructions stepped forward and interrupted, "Young Master Chen, I heard that you possess the Demon Emperor Bloodline?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Qingxuan first feigned a look of surprise;

Facing everyone's burning gazes, he then turned to look at Lin Ya blankly, his eyes seemingly saying—

You betrayed me?

Lin Ya hurriedly offered a fawning smile. "Lord Demon Emperor, please forgive me for not being able to keep my promise... it's just that this news is of vital importance to our Yao Race, and this old man felt it must be confessed."

"You..." Chen Qingxuan looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, finally waving his hand. "Not speaking of it, not speaking of it."

"How can we not speak of it?"

At this time, that Elder spoke up again, "The Demon Emperor Bloodline concerns the future of the entire Yao Race. How can such a major matter not be made clear?"

"That's right. Could it be that you... don't actually have the Demon Emperor Bloodline at all?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if you don't. Young Master Chen's strength alone is enough to make the Cangyun Continent tremble."

"Yes, we just feel it's better to clarify such a thing. After all, this is no small matter and cannot be handled carelessly."

Immediately after, several Elders instructed by the Crimson Saint spoke up one after another.

The Crimson Saint didn't believe the news of the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor at all, but the matter had caused a negative impact on him... it had to be debunked so that he could continue to assert his authority in the future.

"This..."

Chen Qingxuan feigned a look of difficulty.

Those who were unsure if Chen Qingxuan had the Demon Emperor Bloodline didn't speak for now; they also wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

Only Lin Ya, who was a firm believer, said, "Lord Demon Emperor, we have found a way to verify the Demon Emperor Bloodline. One only needs to drop a drop of blood into specially prepared Spiritual Water. According to ancient sayings, ordinary Yao Race Bloodlines will undergo Fusion, but they will not dare to approach the Demon Emperor Bloodline... Since everyone is curious, why not dispel their concerns?"

"Elder Lin, it's not like you don't know me." Chen Qingxuan gave a forced bitter smile. "There's no need to go through a special verification for such a small matter, right?"

"That's where you're wrong. This is a major matter concerning the entire Yao Race."

"Well said. It couldn't be that Young Master Chen... knows he's in the wrong and doesn't dare to verify it?"

"..."

Those Elders began to use reverse psychology.

The more resistant Chen Qingxuan appeared, the more confident they became.

Some even directly dropped a drop of blood into the prepared Spiritual Water, and those droplets merged together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Qingxuan deliberately glanced at it and then shook his head. "Everyone is overstating it. I just feel that whether it's verified or not... what difference does it make?"

"It naturally makes a difference."

Sensing the nervousness Chen Qingxuan was deliberately faking, the Crimson Saint felt a surge of joy and quickly stood up.

Under everyone's gaze, he also dropped a drop of blood into the special Spiritual Water and said loudly, "Young Master Chen, we are not intentionally making things difficult for you, but the Demon Emperor Bloodline is of great importance... If you truly have the Demon Emperor Bloodline, then this old man... is willing to give up the position of Demon Alliance Leader to you. If you lead us... I'm sure everyone will be fully convinced."

"The Alliance Leader is right. If you really have the Demon Emperor Bloodline... we will follow a new master along with the Alliance Leader."

"If you don't have the Demon Emperor Bloodline, at worst you can just admit it... we won't have any complaints... we're just curious."

The crowd used reverse psychology again.

There were even more people speaking up now than before.

After all, Chen Qingxuan's repeated refusals would seem strange to anyone.

Even Lin Ya, who had been a firm believer, was feeling a bit unsure now.

Before, it was understandable for Chen Qingxuan to choose secrecy on the grounds that there was no way to verify the Demon Emperor Bloodline, but now that a method was right in front of him... why wouldn't he agree?

"I understand that you all don't believe me, but isn't this... playing a bit too big?"

Chen Qingxuan gave a forced bitter smile.

"It's not big, not big at all."

The Crimson Saint said forcefully, "Since Young Master Chen said he has the Demon Emperor Bloodline, then he is the co-lord of the Yao Race... We have all expressed our willingness to follow you, so why do you not dare to try?"

"Haha, could it be that it's actually fake?"

"The Alliance Leader has promised that if you really have the Demon Emperor Bloodline, he will take the initiative to step down and let you take over. What are you still hesitating for?"

"Being so timid... could it be that we guessed right?"

The crowd became even more insolent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Chen Qingxuan stopped playing the long game.

"In that case... bring the blade!"
