After leaving the Longevity Demon Palace, Gu Jian headed towards the Rain King's Mansion.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the Rain King's Mansion and, with the help of servants, met Queen Lin Shiyu.

Queen Lin Shiyu wore a bright red dress, her face was bewitching and stunning, and her ample figure was astonishing under the dress.

Her noble face held a touch of gentle charm.

Upon seeing Gu Jian, Lin Shiyu's eyes lit up. She came forward, took his hand in her delicate hand, and said in a soft voice, "Zimei, why did you only come to Shiyu's residence today?"

A warm sensation came over him, and Gu Jian was surprised. He then smiled and said, "Wasn't the matter that the Queen arranged for us to meet today?"

Lin Shiyu immediately felt resentful, glanced at Gu Jian, and said, "Shiyu did invite Zimei to see my sister today. But Shiyu thought that Zimei would come to see Shiyu in the next few days as well."

"Haven't you missed Shiyu these past few days, Zimei?"

Gu Jian's body trembled slightly, then he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Queen Shiyu. I've just been busy these past few days."

Lin Shiyu said softly, "Yes, I knew you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you. However, Shiyu has already given her heart to you, Zimei, don't let Shiyu down."

Goodness.

He only kissed her, and she said she had given him her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that she was indeed a virgin at the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion that day...

Gu Jian almost thought she was a promiscuous person.

Looking at Lin Shiyu's affectionate expression, Gu Jian felt as if he had deceived her feelings.

However, considering that she was the younger sister of Empress Lin Youxian of the Other Shore, Gu Jian still maintained some wariness and restraint.

Looking at Gu Jian's handsome face, Lin Shiyu's stunning and alluring face flushed slightly, and her sensitive heart began to flutter. She said, "Zimei, don't call me Queen anymore. Just call me Shiyu."

"Shiyu doesn't want us to be so formal."

"OK."

Gu Jian nodded.

Lin Shiyu was overjoyed and took Gu Jian's hand, saying, "Let's go find my sister now."

"Can."

Gu Jian followed Lin Shiyu out of the Rain Prince's Mansion.

Outside, a chariot drawn by a demon beast was already waiting.

Gu Jian followed Lin Shiyu onto the carriage and headed towards the palace.

Along the way, their hands were clasped together, which aroused envy, jealousy, and hatred from the demon cultivators, evil cultivators, and other monsters along the route.

They really wanted to replace Du Dafu.

They are willing to pay any price.

Peony stood in the crowd, watching them leave, her anger flaring.

hateful.

That day she risked her life to interrupt them.

They even kissed in the end, which infuriated her.

"You really are a lecherous scoundrel. If I look at you again, I'll change my surname to Hua."

Hua Mudan snorted and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she subconsciously turned back to look at Gu Jian's back.

Then, she frowned and said slowly, "It would be better to go and see. What if the Queen of the Other Shore wants to kill him?"

On the other side, Feng Yantong, who had just emerged from seclusion, also quietly followed.

She was really worried about letting Gu Jian go to the palace alone.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the royal palace of the Demon Kingdom on the other side.

After Gu Jian alighted from the carriage, he entered the palace with Queen Lin Shiyu.

It was once the royal palace of the Zhou Dynasty.

This place is very luxurious.

Before the demons descended upon the world, Gu Jian had come here for training.

However, since the palace had long been occupied by demons, and the people patrolling around it were all demons from the other side of the demon kingdom, Gu Jian felt a sense of things being different.

A moment later, Gu Jian and Lin Shiyu entered the main hall of the palace.

They met Lin Youxian, the queen of the Demon Kingdom on the other side.

Empress Lin Youxian, dressed in a purple-gold imperial robe, sat on her throne.

Her alluring appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Shiyu's, but even more captivating and enchanting.

She possessed captivating, almond-shaped eyes, yet they also exuded an air of authority.

This temperament is somewhat similar to that of the Fox Demon Queen, Hu Linglong!

Upon seeing her, Gu Jian felt a sense of amazement he had never experienced before.

He then bowed slightly, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Du Dafu, and I greet Your Majesty the Empress."

Lin Youxian's gaze turned slightly cold.

"Du Dafu, why do you not kneel before me?"

Lin Shiyu also looked over in surprise.

In the Demon Kingdom on the other side, whether human, demon, or monster, all are citizens of the Demon Kingdom, and should kneel before the Empress.

Gu Jian thought to himself, how could a mighty demon king like himself kneel before a demoness?

Even if she were an empress, she would not kneel.

However, Gu Jian said, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell these past two days and am unable to kneel."

Lin Shiyu, who was standing beside her, immediately asked with concern, "Zimei, what's wrong with your health?"

Gu Jian smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, just a herniated lumbar disc."

Lin Shiyu's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Lin Youxian was also taken aback, and then her face turned cold.

He meant that he had a herniated disc, which prevented him from kneeling.

"Du Dafu, how dare you mock me?"

Lin Youxian's face already showed a hint of anger.

It feels like your intelligence has been insulted by the person in front of you.

Gu Jian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Lin Youxian sneered and said, "You clearly did it, yet you say you didn't dare. I think you're incredibly audacious."

"You've played a trick on me like this, so tell me, how should I deal with you?"

A majestic aura and powerful presence emanated from Lin Youxian, overwhelming Gu Jian.

Gu Jian frowned slightly upon sensing the aura emanating from Lin Youxian.

Lin Shiyu's expression changed, and she quickly stepped in front of Gu Jian.

The terrifying aura lessened slightly.

Lin Shiyu said angrily to Lin Youxian, "Sister, what are you doing? Zimei came here to help you."

Lin Youxian said coldly, "You keep calling him Zimei so affectionately. Shiyu, you haven't known him for long, and he's already stolen your heart?"

Lin Shiyu blushed and said, "Zimei is outstanding and gentle. She is the most perfect person I have ever met."

"You can't tell at all."

Lin Youxian's cold rebuke.

Gu Jian became displeased upon hearing this.

damn it.

He was just as perfect as Lin Shiyu described, yet this empress said she couldn't see it; she's practically blind!

Furthermore, Gu Jian noticed that the two people in front of him were sisters.

But their personalities are completely different.

This high and mighty Empress Lin Youxian also has designs on me.

Gu Jian couldn't understand why she was targeting him.

Lin Youxian glanced at Gu Jian again.

Looking at Gu Jian's handsome face, Lin Youxian said coldly, "Du Dafu, I know why you don't kneel."

“You scholars are so proud of yourselves. You hold a grudge against my clan for destroying your Zhou state, and that's why you harbor such hatred.”

"But in my opinion, this is utterly ridiculous."

"In this world, it has always been a dog-eat-dog world."

"In these years, even if I hadn't conquered your Zhou Kingdom, your weak Zhou Kingdom would have been destroyed in this chaotic world."
