"Did your ancestor ever tell you who Qi Chengshuo was in his previous life?" Ye Xianya asked.

"No!" The Demon Emperor quickly shook his head.

"You dared to attack him without knowing his identity? You've got some nerve!" Ye Xianya sneered.

Although this demon emperor was an ancient being who had lived for many years, he was not smart at all.

The beings of the upper realm are not something that mortals and demons can easily deal with.

Even if the Demon Emperor has connections in the Upper Realm, he still needs to be careful, or he'll just be asking for trouble.

"I...I was also misled by the cultivation method taught by the Ancestor, which led me to commit such a wrong act. I beg the Fairy to forgive me!" the Demon Emperor pleaded.

It's actually very difficult for these demons to ascend to the upper realm.

Under equal strength, the tribulation lightning for the ascension of demons is more powerful than that for humans and spirit beasts.

The ancestor said that as long as he succeeded in this matter, he would be given a cultivation technique that would allow him to cultivate to the level of a celestial immortal. At that time, the tribulation lightning would be nothing more than a tickle to him.

Such a cultivation method held a fatal attraction for the Demon Emperor.

Although Qi Chengshuo was a reincarnation of a person from the upper realm, his ancestor was also a deity from the upper realm.

The ancestor said that he was loyal to a supreme god who held an unparalleled position in the divine realm, far more powerful than Qi Chengshuo, so of course he had no doubts.

Now, after hearing Ye Xianya's words, I realize how frightening it was.

Of course, what the Demon Emperor feared was Ye Xianya, who had defeated him.

Because it wouldn't be difficult for someone to kill him.

"If you weren't afraid of the lightning tribulation and hiding in this forbidden place, Qi Chengshuo and I would have been killed by you long ago. Your current begging for mercy is only because you are not as strong as others. If you were stronger than me, you would definitely kill me without hesitation, and I would naturally not spare you!" After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she suddenly waved her hand, and the Demon Emperor was sent flying.

After he landed on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood, a hint of madness in his eyes: "Then let's die together!"

The next moment, the Demon Emperor self-destructed.

Rather than be killed by this human, I'd rather self-destruct.

He didn't want to be refined into spiritual energy, or have his body used to create magical artifacts.

By exposing myself, I might be able to severely damage this despicable woman.

However, the Demon Emperor was destined to be disappointed.

Ye Xianya directly used her immortal techniques to envelop the enormous energy generated by the Demon Emperor's self-destruction, eventually condensing it into a small golden sphere.

The White Ape Demon King and the others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, fearing that they would be the next to be wiped out.

Ye Xianya knew that everything in the world is about balance, and the existence of the demon race was the result of the choices made by this world, so there was a reason for their existence.

Moreover, it is because of these demon races that the human race feels a sense of crisis, and that strong individuals emerge.

Ye Xianya eventually eliminated those old demon kings.

They committed the most killings and possessed the strongest aura of bloodlust.

The three of them, including the White Ape Demon King, were younger and weaker, and their bloodthirsty aura was much less, so Ye Xianya spared their lives.

"Thank you for sparing our lives, Fairy!" The White Ape Demon King hurriedly kowtowed, taking the opportunity to express his loyalty: "We are willing to follow you, Fairy, and serve you as your slaves!"

"No need, I have a spirit beast!" After saying that, Ye Xianya picked the high-quality spirit herbs and fruits in this forbidden land and left directly.

The White Ape Demon King and the Green Scale Demon King remained prostrate on the ground for a long time before daring to raise their heads.

"The fairy has left!" After saying this, the Tengshe Demon King went limp and collapsed to the ground.

The Demon Emperor was killed, and so were the old Demon Kings. He was terrified and never expected to survive.

"Does Fairy Ye look down on us?" asked the White Ape Demon King.

They were, after all, demon kings, and were willing to serve as slaves, but they were unexpectedly rejected.

"They have spirit beasts, so of course they look down on us demon beasts. But then again, Fairy Ye is incredibly powerful; she even killed the Demon Emperor. If we want to survive in the future, we must properly restrain the demons and stop them from eating people." The Azure Scale Demon King said solemnly.

“Third Sister is absolutely right. We demons are vegetarians, but we can still cultivate. Once the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovers, we won’t starve,” the White Ape Demon King quickly said.

"Brother, even if we don't eat people, we don't have to be vegetarians, do we? There are many wild beasts in the mountains, and there's no need to keep some disobedient little demons around!" The Tengshe Demon King was getting anxious.

Making him a vegetarian would be like taking his life!

"Second Brother is right!" said the Azure Scale Demon King.

"Alright, we can't eat people anymore, or it will be a catastrophe!"

The White Ape Demon King sighed, "No wonder our ancestors said that although humans seem weak, they are the darlings of heaven. Every generation of them produces people with extremely high cultivation talent, who can even crush us, the naturally powerful demon race. This is indeed true. This Fairy Ye... her strength has improved too quickly!"

"Let's stay in the Demon Realm Mountains and cultivate properly from now on, instead of going down the mountain!" The Azure Scale Demon King was also filled with lingering fear.

That was the closest she had ever come to death. If Ye Xianya hadn't shown mercy, she would have been annihilated.

The three demon kings resolved that they would restrain their subordinates from feeding on humans again.

If the demons have no urgent business, they should not go to the human world. It would be best if they could stay in the mountains and cultivate.

...

Having made a fruitful day, Ye Xianya returned to the capital early.

A few days ago, during the Lunar New Year, and because she was also studying divine-level cultivation techniques, Ye Xianya did not go to the princess's residence to tell fortunes.

It was still early today, so Ye Xianya went to the princess's residence, hoping to see if anyone was waiting for her to tell fortunes. However, as soon as she arrived at the small courtyard, she found Lan Chenyin standing there.

No wonder she felt the temperature was getting lower as she got closer to the courtyard.

Qi Chengshuo told her that Lan Chenyin was skilled at manipulating the power of ice and snow, and that her divine power was extremely cold.

"You've come!" Lan Chenyin looked at Ye Xianya, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, which had been expressionless.

Ye Xianya's heart tightened, and the next moment she saw Lan Chenyin cast a spell, a cold light as sharp as a blade slashing directly at her.

Ye Xianya quickly cast a spell to defend herself.

After exchanging a few blows, Lan Chenyin looked at Ye Xianya, who had several wounds on her arm, and said with disdain, "Although you have mastered the basics of the divine-level technique, your strength is still very average. Do not slack off. From today onwards, you are not allowed to tell fortunes for others. Focus on your cultivation. I don't expect you to be able to help Shuo'er. After you ascend to the upper realm, just don't be too weak and embarrass him."

Since her son was determined to marry this woman, Lan Chenyin didn't intend to stop him.

She had already lost her husband and didn't want to lose her son too.

But Ye Xianya, as her daughter-in-law, must meet her standards, otherwise she absolutely cannot tolerate it.

Ye Xianya was speechless upon hearing this. She hadn't even married Qi Chengshuo yet, and she was already being looked down upon like this. If she didn't know that Qi Chengshuo treated her well and put her first in everything, and that she also had feelings for him, she really wouldn't want to get married.

Lan Chenyin is such a self-righteous and domineering person, as if she has the final say in everything and everyone has to listen to her.

Logically speaking, Ye Xianya is currently weaker than Lan Chenyin and should have backed down, but she couldn't swallow her pride.
