Suddenly, there was a flash of fire above the hall, and a huge three-legged golden bird emerged from the flames. Its wings spread, and it let out a long cry, then the three-legged firebird flew straight down from the flames, pulling down a long red curtain of fire wherever it went. The curtain of fire hung from the top of the hall to the front of the throne. The three-legged firebird disappeared the moment it touched the ground, and then, behind the curtain of fire, a vague figure appeared and disappeared above the throne.
Everyone in the hall left their seats in unison. Yun Che was also pulled up by Yun Qinghong, and everyone knelt on the ground:
"Welcome to the Little Demon Queen!!"
All those who are qualified to be invited to the Demon King's Palace are the strongest among the strong. The welcoming sounds of a hundred thousand people are so loud that even those with relatively weaker profound powers have ringing ears and their internal organs churning. If this was just an ordinary palace, it would probably be shaken to the point of collapse.
"Everyone, please stand up." A majestic voice sounded from behind the fire curtain.
Everyone stood up and returned to their seats. Yun Che returned to his seat with a puzzled look on his face: This voice... why does it sound a little familiar? I clearly have never seen the Little Demon Queen.
With the arrival of the Little Demon Queen, the entire hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and a solemn atmosphere filled every corner of the hall. At this time, two tall female figures slowly emerged in front of the fire curtain. The two women had pretty and solemn faces, one was a human, and the other was a demon. They both exuded the powerful aura of the Tyrant Profound Realm. They simultaneously stretched out their hands, placed them on the fire curtain, and slowly pulled the burning red fire curtain to the left and right, revealing the figure of the Little Demon Queen.
Yun Che had always been deeply curious about who this little demon queen was. When the fire curtain was drawn aside, he stared at the figure on the throne. This figure was just as Xiao Yun had described before. She was dressed in gray, without any of the gorgeous attire that an emperor should have. Moreover, this figure was unexpectedly petite. At first glance, she looked like a little girl. But when he saw her true face...
Yun Che’s eyes widened instantly, and his body shrank back like lightning, hiding half of his body behind Yun Qinghong.
“Um, big brother, what’s wrong with you?” Xiao Yun asked hurriedly at Yun Che’s sudden abnormality.
“She…she…she…she is the Little Demon Queen!?” Yun Che’s tongue was tied and his teeth were trembling.
“Yes.” Xiao Yun nodded naturally: “Brother, you look so strange... Have you already seen the Little Demon Queen?”
“But… didn’t you tell me that the Little Demon Queen looks scary and that her face is very ferocious? The Little Demon Queen’s appearance is completely different from what you described!” If this wasn’t the location of a grand ceremony, Yun Che really wanted to yell at Xiao Yun so hard that he would spit all over his face.
The Little Demon Queen was dressed in gray. Under the fluffy gray clothes was a slender body. Her eyes were as dark as the night and as cold as a blade. However, her face was as delicate and beautiful as if it was carved out of ice and snow...
This was clearly the little girl in gray that he had seen outside the Demon King City at midnight three days ago, the one who had almost killed him! !
That little girl... turned out to be the Little Demon Queen!!
It would be fine if she was the Little Demon Queen... The key point was that, that night, he looked at her naked body without her knowing... He even looked at her for a quarter of an hour...
The most important thing is that she found me in the end and even remembered my face!
Is God playing a joke on me?!
Xiao Yun looked innocent. "I did say that the Little Demon Queen was scary. Um... I should have also said that I couldn't look directly at her face. But what I meant was that the Little Demon Queen's aura, eyes, and expression were very scary. Every time I faced the Little Demon Queen, my heart would beat wildly and my back would go cold. But, I didn't say that the Little Demon Queen's appearance was scary. The Little Demon Queen is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Illusory Demon Realm."
“～! @＃￥％…” Yun Che now had the urge to strangle Xiao Yun to death: “The last sentence… Such important information, why didn’t you tell me that day!?”
Xiao Yun shrank his neck, his expression becoming even more innocent: "You...you didn't ask what the Little Demon Queen looks like. And...I feel like this isn't important information."
Yun Che slapped his forehead, choking with indifference.
Thinking back carefully, when Xiao Yun said that the Little Demon Queen was "scary" and "frightening" that day, he was referring to the feeling he had when he saw her. He didn't explicitly say that her face was scary, but his description made it easy for people to directly associate her with a cold, ferocious face that people dared not even look at. In addition, the Little Demon Queen was older than his father, Yun Qinghong, so she should be a middle-aged woman...
With Xiao Yun's description, he could never connect the Little Demon Queen with a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old!
Although she was also dressed in gray, this didn’t mean anything, because it was normal for her to imitate the Little Demon Queen and wear gray clothes... Although she also used the Golden Crow Flame... but everyone in the Illusory Demon Royal Family could use the Golden Crow Flame...
Yun Che was now extremely confused... This plot was really too exciting.
He had been calmly thinking about how to work with his father to resolve the great crisis that the Little Demon Queen might encounter in this ceremony, but now... he was the one facing the greatest danger!
It is unknown whether I can walk out of here alive today.
He had seen the naked body of the Little Demon Queen... This crime was worth killing him 10,000 times. After all, he was the Little Demon Queen married to the Little Demon Emperor in a formal ceremony, witnessed by the whole world, and was the emperor of the entire Illusory Demon Realm!
Yun Qinghong glanced at Yun Che with a puzzled look on his face. Just as he was about to ask, the Little Demon Queen slowly stood up from the throne.
"Since I inherited the throne from my late husband, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this hundred years, although I have not made any achievements that benefited the people, I have not committed any serious mistakes that caused harm to the people. I can be considered to have lived up to the trust of my father and my late husband."
"The Centennial Ceremony was born for celebration, but this time is different from the past. This Queen has been on the throne for a hundred years, and my father and my late husband have also been dead for a hundred years. Although a hundred years have passed, the blood feud between my father and my late husband has not been avenged! With such hatred and resentment, what is there to be happy about? What is there to celebrate?"
"Dancing and music are not allowed at this grand ceremony. No eulogies or tributes are allowed. The only discussion is about the affairs of the country during the 100 years of my reign, and the plans for the country a hundred years from now!"
If you look directly at the face of the Little Demon Queen, you will find that she is a girl so beautiful that she can make the sun and the moon pale in comparison. However, along with this stunning beauty, there is a heavy pressure that is as heavy as if the world is overturning... Even for an emperor, this pressure is too heavy, heavy enough to make a strong man in the Xuanjie feel a little breathless when facing her.
This terrifying, heart-pounding pressure is enough to completely suppress the stunning beauty of her appearance.
She stood before the throne, looking down coldly at the 100,000 giants in the Fantasy Demon Realm, and spoke slowly. Every word was deafening and shook the soul. These powerful men who had great strength or controlled the power of the Fantasy Demon Realm all bowed their heads and listened quietly. No one dared to look up and show the slightest disrespect.
A girl who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old... and is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Illusory Demon Realm... and yet she is the emperor of the hundreds of billions of people in the Illusory Demon Realm!!
For Yun Che, who “first met” the Little Demon Queen, the spiritual and visual impact of this scene was undoubtedly enormous.
The Little Demon Queen raised her right arm, and her wide grey sleeves fell down, revealing her snow-white palm and a small section of her arm as white as jade. The maid on her right slowly stepped forward, bent over and held up a red wine glass.
The Little Demon Queen slowly picked up the wine glass, and everyone below hurriedly picked up the wine glasses that had been prepared in front of the table and bowed to the Little Demon Queen.
"Today's ceremony will begin with this wine!" The Little Demon Queen raised her arms, and on her young girlish face was a dignity that could not be despised.
"This wine is a toast to my Fantasy Demon World!"
"Second, respect to all the clans and ancestors of the Demon King!"
"Three respects to all of you present here! You are the foundation of my Illusionary Demon, the pillars of my Illusionary Demon, or the barriers of my Illusionary Demon. Over the past hundred years, I have relied on your support... I will drink first as a token of my respect!"
As soon as the Little Demon Queen finished speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine in the cup.
"Thank you, Little Demon Queen!"
Everyone below was terrified, and hurriedly drank the wine in the cup, not daring to leave even a drop. Some even had their hands trembling with excitement. In the Centennial Ceremony, the Demon King was always honored first, but the Little Demon Queen was honoring everyone first, so they were naturally extremely terrified.
The Little Demon Queen put down her wine glass and looked at everyone. Her lifeless eyes suddenly released a bone-chilling coldness. She said calmly, "Who arranged the seats today?"
Everyone in the hall held their breath. Some people who didn't understand looked at each other in bewilderment. The people in the Demon King City also had a sudden change of expression... The seating order of the twelve families had remained constant for ten thousand years. No one doubted that the Little Demon Queen could tell the seating order of this ceremony at a glance. But no one expected that she would just pay respect to the heroes and ministers of the world in the last second, and in the next second, she would suddenly question this matter in front of everyone, in this ceremony.
The turn was so fast that it caught people off guard.
