“And in my opinion, if Zhou Xuzi really valued Zhou Qingchen so much, after his death, he would be more likely to attack the Northern Divine Region instead of attacking it by force.”
"Because Zhou Qingchen's death will not only make him angry and crazy, but also make him feel guilty! Now that he is dead, the last thing he can do is to protect his reputation and never let the world know that he has become a 'demon'."
"A furious attack can vent your anger for a while, but it will also cause damage to Zhou Tian. At the same time, it is likely to expose the secret that Zhou Qingchen is already a demon, and the taboo fact that he took the initiative to trade with this queen, as well as many unpredictable consequences."
"But keeping it to himself, even though he is burning with anger, can preserve Zhou Qingchen's final reputation, and will not cause any of the consequences of the previous one."
Chi Wuyao moved closer to Qianye Ying'er and said, "You must know much more about how much the Eternal Heaven God Realm hates the word 'demon' and how shameful it is to be a 'demon' than I do."
"So, which one do you think he would prefer?"
“Oh, right.” Without waiting for Qianye Ying’er to respond, Chi Wuyao suddenly said, “I will help you recall one thing first… Zhou Xuzi, his lifespan, experience, and time as an emperor are all far greater than Qianye Fantian’s.”
“And during his time as emperor, he has always been the most prestigious and respected God Emperor in the Eastern Divine Region… No, in the three divine regions.”
Qianye Ying'er: "..."
"How likely is it that a person like this will lose control of his anger?"
Qianye Ying'er clenched her hands tightly. Although she was filled with anger, she was not someone who would easily lose her mind. And Chi Wuyao's words made her unable to refute for a moment.
When she described it to Yun Che, she said that given Zhou Qingchen's special control over Zhou Xuzi, the possibility that Zhou Xuzi would lose control was about 60%, and she would find a way to make it 100%, and there was still enough time.
But listening to Chi Wuyao’s words at this moment, although she didn’t want to agree with it, she suddenly felt that the possibility might really only be around 10%, or even lower.
She was familiar with the past of Zhou Xuzi and his wife, so she was absolutely sure that Zhou Qingchen was Zhou Xuzi's biggest, and possibly only weakness. But she overlooked an important point... that was Zhou Qingchen's "reputation" after his death.
And Chi Wuyao, after only listening to her brief description once, in just half a day, she had directly exposed the "loophole" that she had always missed.
This woman...
“If that’s the case, why did you deliberately make the fact that Yun Che was here public and take the initiative to let the Eastern Divine Region know about it?” Qianye Ying’er asked.
“Of course, I am using your ‘advice’ to guide him and Zhou Qingchen to meet me,” Chi Wuyao said.
"Now?"
"certainly."
Qianye Ying'er did not get angry immediately. She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Let alone merging the Three King Realms, we haven't even taken the first step yet. If we anger Zhou Tian now, it would be like wasting the most likely opportunity to take effect."
"And if he gets angry and loses control, and attacks the Northern Territory, we won't even have a firm foothold yet, and it would be a huge joke to take advantage of the situation and counterattack."
“He won’t.” Chi Wuyao smiled faintly, “Even if he does, it doesn’t matter. If this dark place was so easy to break into, how could it have survived until today?”
"Then what's the point of you doing this?" Qianye Ying'er quickly thought of several possibilities, but none of them made sense.
“It’s very simple. As long as he comes, it’s enough.” This was Chi Wuyao’s answer.
Yun Che, who had been listening to Chi Wuyao’s words quietly, opened his mouth and said, “What do you mean?”
“There is a very interesting proverb. I believe you must have heard it.” Chi Wuyao’s brows seemed to curl slightly, and she exhaled softly:
"If yellow mud falls into your crotch, it's either shit or shit."
Hun Luotian remained silent for a long time.
When Qianye Ying'er raised her eyes again, she finally understood what Chi Wuyao meant. She chuckled, "When it comes to being despicable and shameless, I am still far behind you."
This sentence sounds like both sarcasm and sigh.
Chi Wuyao’s smile remained unchanged as she spoke in a charming voice, “Between relying on others to provide opportunities and forging them with one’s own hands, I prefer to be more proactive. After all, being in control and being passive are completely different. Yun Qianying, what do you think?”
Qianye Ying'er's eyebrows twitched and she abruptly looked away, but her whole body unconsciously softened.
Chi Wuyao’s smile faded, and she turned around and said something that was a bit ambiguous: “This kind of vile little trick has always been disdainful to me. But if it was Zhou Xuzi… that would be another matter.”
The last sentence carried a hint of evil.
“Yun Che, you will cooperate with this matter, right?” Chi Wuyao asked. She knew the answer without Yun Che’s reply.
Because of this matter, Yun Che couldn't wait more than anyone else.
"Time." Yun Che said.
Qianye Ying'er did not object.
Chi Wuyao smiled slightly and said, “Given the degree of isolation between the Northern Divine Region and the Eastern Divine Region, within a month at most, Zhou Xuzi will get the news that you have fallen into my hands, and he will also get some gossip about how you have repeatedly angered me. By then, he will definitely send a message to arrange a meeting right away.”
"As for the time of the appointment, it should not be too long, nor too short."
"If it's too long, it will gradually wear out their patience, and the longer the night, the more dreams they will have."
"Too short... If I don't take this opportunity to ask for a sky-high price and keep pressing him, he will become suspicious."
“How about after a hundred days?” She glanced at Yun Che and Qianye Ying’er, but unexpectedly discovered that when she said this time, the auras of both of them showed unusual changes that shouldn’t have happened.
"Oh?" She narrowed her eyes: "Is this time not to your liking?"
“No,” Yun Che said, his expression and tone were normal: “This time… is very good.”
Chi Wuyao: “……?”
Qianye Ying'er glanced at Yun Che silently and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
At this time, a breeze blew over, and a woman with colorful light all over her body fell down. It was the seventh witch Huan Jin.
With her arrival, the nine Soul Stealing Witches gathered in front of Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er.
"My Lord," Huan Jin bowed, "Master Yun's bedroom is ready."
“Yes.” Chi Wuyao responded softly, and turned to Yun Che with a faint smile: “Yun Che, after wandering for several years, now that you have stopped here, you should allow yourself to rest for a day. From tomorrow on, it will be difficult for you to even have a moment of comfort.”
“Chan Yi, take Yun Che and Yun Qianying to their bedroom. You will serve outside the palace today. If they want to tour the Holy Land, you will lead them.”
"Yes." Chan Yi accepted the order. She did not reject the idea of "serving" as a witch. After all, she had no way to repay the kindness Yun Che had bestowed on her.
Yun Che nodded indifferently.
Chi Wuyao’s demonic body turned slightly, and her gaze lingered on the nine witches one by one: “Zhe Xin, Jie Ling, Ye Li, Yao Die, Qing Ying, Lan Ting, Huan Jin, Yu Wu, and Chan Yi.”
She recited the names of the nine witches one by one, with a unique gentleness in her words: "I have described the vision I longed for to you time and time again. I thought it was just an eternal luxury, but... this day has suddenly come, starting from today."
"I cannot predict what the future will be like, let alone guarantee anything. It is even possible that I will lose my protection over your life and death. If so..."
“Master, there is no need to say more.” Jie Xin said, “Your life and your wishes are the reason for our existence.”
The other eight witches did not speak, but their eyes spoke the same words.
“Okay.” Chi Wuyao smiled and nodded. Indeed, there was no need for any extra words between her and them. “You guys go ahead.”
The witches left, and from today on, their fate and the world they were about to face would be turned upside down.
Because of Yun Che's arrival.
"Mr. Yun, please."
Chan Yi came to Yun Che's side, her attitude slightly respectful.
Thinking back to our encounter in Zhongxu Realm that year, I feel filled with endless emotion and sighs.
Yun Che glanced at Chi Wuyao but did not speak. He took a step forward and followed Nanhuang Chanyi down from Soul Luo Heaven.
Qianye Ying’er, who was standing side by side with Yun Che, suddenly stopped when Yun Che fell, half turned around, and said coldly to Chi Wuyao: “Chi Wuyao, you really know how to pick the time.”
“What was the problem at that time?” Chi Wuyao asked.
A complex look flashed across Qianye Ying'er's eyes, and she snorted softly, "A hundred days from now will be his daughter's eighteenth birthday."
“…” Chi Wuyao was stunned for a moment.
“Also, there is one thing you must remember.” Qianye Ying’er turned her back to Chi Wuyao and said in a cold tone, “I admit that in some aspects, I am not as good as you.”
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao raised her eyebrows, her face full of interest.
"But, that's only because I'm much younger than you. If I were your age, I would be far superior to you!"
Chi Wuyao smiled and said softly, “The difference between you and me is more than just age.”
Qianye Ying'er's eyebrows slightly sank.
“The Brahma Monarch Goddess is a name that everyone in the Northern Divine Region knows.” Chi Wuyao spoke slowly, “It is said that the Brahma Monarch Goddess has extraordinary talents and is invincible. There is nothing you cannot obtain, and there is no one you cannot plot against.”
“But is all this more due to your superb and ruthless scheming and tactics, or… the Brahma Emperor God Realm that no one dares to offend behind you?”
“What about you?” Qianye Ying’er retorted, “Chi Wuyao, the Demon Queen of the Northern Territory, rose from a middle-level realm king to an upper-level realm king, and then to a divine emperor. She climbed to the top by relying on one man after another. How brilliant!”
“Hahahaha.” Chi Wuyao laughed loudly, but no one in the world could understand the meaning behind her laughter. She raised her eyes to the sky and said in a clear voice, “In the eyes of men in high positions in this world, women will always be subordinate to men. So why can’t women treat men as subordinates or tools?”
Qianye Ying'er: "..."
"I started out as an ordinary woman, lifting my own feet, stepping one step at a time, on the stepping stones that these men personally laid for me, whether it was their sects, their lives, their families, or their...kingdoms!"
"Until there is no man in this world who dares to look down on me even a little bit."
"And you, who have been at the top since birth and have everything, seem to be the least qualified person in the world to look down on me."
"..." Qianye Ying'er stood there in silence for a long time.
“However,” Chi Wuyao’s tone changed again, with a hint of teasing in her smile. The emotions she released seemed to always change at will, and no one could peek or predict them. “You don’t have to be so hostile to me, and you don’t have to have such a strong sense of crisis. After all, during his darkest years, you were by his side day and night. No one can change this, and no one can replace it.”
“The same is true in reverse.”
"...What do you mean?" Qianye Ying'er turned around suddenly.
“Good question.” Chi Wuyao smiled faintly, her feet already stepping on the edge of Soul Luo Heaven: “This question you asked, only you can give the most accurate answer, I am just talking nonsense.”
With a sweet and charming laugh, Chi Wuyao's figure had already gone far away, leaving only Qianye Ying'er alone in the Soul Luotian, and she did not leave for a long time.
