"Brother Gu Jian, where are you? Xi'er misses you so much."

In Qiao Xi'er's boudoir, Qiao Xi'er cried her heart out.

She absolutely refused to marry the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, but her cultivation was imprisoned, and she was constantly monitored by the Spirit Control Sect elders sent by the sect leader.

She couldn't even beg for death; she was even forced to wear a wedding dress.

Wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, Qiao Xi'er was stunningly beautiful, almost the most beautiful woman in the world.

Qiao Xi'er once fantasized about what it would be like to wear a phoenix coronet and wedding gown and marry Brother Gu Jian.

However, at this moment, she was in great pain, and tears kept streaming down her face as she faced the mirror where she was putting on makeup.

However, the two core disciples who were part of the dowry did not understand at all.

She was even jealous.

"Holy Maiden Xi'er, what's there to cry about? Every woman has her time to get married."

"Though he is a demon, he is also the Dragon Demon Emperor. From now on, you will be the Empress of the Demon Dragon Kingdom."

"That's right, Saintess Xi'er. In this chaotic world, even our sect leader has to bow down to the Demon Emperor, yet you can become his woman!"

"As for Gu Jian, you don't need to think about him. Although he is the military advisor of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, he is an enemy of the Demon Kingdom."

"There's no good end to opposing the Demon Kingdom; he'll definitely be killed by the Demon Dragon Emperor!"

Upon hearing Gu Jian's name, Qiao Xi'er trembled and quickly retorted, "No, Brother Gu Jian won't be killed. He's so powerful, he won't be killed."

"Brother Gu Jian will definitely come to save me."

A core disciple named Huang Lan immediately shook her head and said, "Xi'er, although you are a saintess, I think you should stop dreaming."

"Don't you know how many powerful figures my Spirit Control Sect has? Even the powerful figures from the Demon Kingdom have come. Don't even mention that Gu Jian would dare to come; even if he did, he would be doomed!"

Another core disciple, named Wang Yizhi, also spoke up: "Senior Sister Huang is right. Alright, it's almost time. Holy Maiden, we should set off now, let's not keep the envoys from the Demon Kingdom waiting."

As she spoke, she helped Qiao Xi'er up.

With her cultivation suppressed, Qiao Xi'er was unable to resist and was forced to stand up.

Wang Yizhi looked at Qiao Xier's appearance and sneered inwardly.

As a core disciple, Wang Yizhi possessed exceptional talent and was even bestowed the surname Wang by the sect leader.

However, Qiao Xier's talent was too amazing.

She grew up in Qiao Xi'er's shadow since childhood.

Now, Qiao Xi'er is going to marry the Demon Emperor.

As a core disciple she had contacted, she was merely a dowry.

This made Wang Yizhi feel extremely resentful.

However, she would not give up the opportunity to bring a dowry.

In her eyes, her appearance was among the best in the Spirit Control Sect.

If the Dragon Demon Emperor were to see me, he would surely fall head over heels in love with me.

In that case, she might have a chance to become an imperial concubine.

In this chaotic world.

The queen consort of the Demon Kingdom holds a noble position, yet even doing so requires her to offer her body and soul to the Demon Emperor.

She didn't care.

After leaving her room, Qiao Xi'er headed straight for the sect square of the Yu Ling Sect.

Along the way.

There are many powerful members of the Spirit Control Sect.

Many people were pointing fingers at Qiao Xier.

And the way they looked at Qiao Xi'er showed no sympathy whatsoever.

Aside from those who were jealous of Qiao Xi'er's unique immortal body, most people saw her as a tool to please the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

Who cares about what a tool thinks?!

Not a single one.

Even Wang Wuhan of the Spirit Control Sect was the same.

In Wang Tianhan's view, Qiao Xi'er might be tortured to death by the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor not long after she marries him.

But that's no longer relevant to him.

After all, the Spirit Control Sect has already pledged its allegiance.

As long as they attach themselves to the Demon Kingdom, their Spirit Control Sect can survive forever in this chaotic world.

According to the rules of the Spirit Control Sect, before a Holy Maiden marries, she must kneel before the Sect Master to express her gratitude for his guidance and cultivation.

Qiao Xi'er came before the sect leader, Wang Tianhan.

Helpless with her cultivation suppressed, Qiao Xi'er knelt down before Sect Master Wang Tianhan.

Upon seeing this, Wang Tianhan smiled.

I think Qiao Xier is sensible.

However, before his smile could spread, Qiao Xi'er, her face streaked with tears, said, "Sect Master, Xi'er does not want to marry the Demon Dragon Emperor."

"Sect Master, please release Xi'er. Xi'er doesn't want to get married; Xi'er only wants to stay in the Yuling Sect."

"Xi'er is willing to stay in the Spirit Control Sect to protect the sect. She is willing to die for it. Please, Sect Master, do not marry Xi'er to the Demon Emperor."

Even though the kind-hearted saintess was treated this way, all she thought about was protecting her sect.

The envoy from the Demon Kingdom who came to fetch the bride frowned upon seeing this.

The black-bodied eagle demon was a non-royal king appointed by the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, named Diao Hong.

He sneered at Sect Master Wang Tianhan and said, "Sect Master Wang, it seems your sect's Holy Maiden is disobedient."

"This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for your Spirit Control Sect to surrender to the Demon Emperor, yet she doesn't want to marry him."

"If the Spirit Control Sect has no sincerity in surrendering, Sect Master Wang can simply say so. I will convey this to the Demon Emperor. There's no need to play games with me like this!"

Sect Master Wang Tianhan's face immediately turned ugly.

He first bowed and apologized to Diao Hong, saying, "Lord Diao Demon King, please forgive my rudeness. It's not that the Holy Maiden doesn't want to marry, but she is sentimental and unwilling to leave the Spirit Control Sect."

"Let this sect master teach them a lesson!"

After saying that, Wang Tianhan looked down at Qiao Xier and scolded her.

"Qiao Xi'er, who do you think you are? Why do you think I, the sect leader, chose you as the Holy Maiden? It's simply because I hope you will contribute your strength as the Holy Maiden when the sect is in danger!"
