"Please, Father, please help your son. I know you are all-powerful, and I know you must have a way to rescue my fiancée."
Ling Yuxuan cried his heart out, and it was clear that he wasn't faking it.
“I was truly at my wit’s end. The thought of her possibly suffering all kinds of bullying and being all alone and helpless made my heart ache so much that I couldn’t breathe.”
However, Jiang Haitian seemed indifferent until he was almost fainting from crying before he finally spoke.
"Useless! You've been wailing for ages without getting to the point."
Who is your fiancée? Where is she? You better tell me, or how am I supposed to help you?
And can you fucking stop crying? I can take in a piece of trash as my son, but I'll never take in an idiot!
Upon hearing this, the wild son standing nearby immediately pointed at his nose and said, "Yes, you damn well better say it!"
My father is so powerful, there's nothing he can't do in this Demon Breath City.
"You're crying like a woman, you're really disgracing us sons."
Ling Yuxuan immediately stopped crying and hurriedly crawled to Jiang Haitian's side, saying, "Father, my betrothed is named Yu Xiyan, and she is also my fellow disciple."
After making inquiries from various sources over this period, it has now been confirmed that she has been imprisoned by that Demon Empress.
If you simply take me to see the Demon Empress, I will beg her in person to release my wife.
We were supposed to get married on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month last year, but this whole thing just happened at that time.
"Please, Father, please help me."
As he spoke, his eyes reddened, and he was about to cry again.
*Snap*
A crisp slap echoed throughout the hall.
"Useless! Why are you crying over such a trivial matter? You should have just said so earlier."
"Go take a shower, change your clothes, and get a good night's sleep. You'll come to the palace with me tomorrow morning."
Ling Yuxuan was immediately shocked: "Father? You agreed?"
*Snap*
Another slap landed on his face.
"Are you questioning your father with that tone?"
"No, no!"
"Then get down there!"
"Yes, Father!"
Ling Yuxuan responded loudly, and then followed one of the wild sons downstairs.
As soon as he left, Jiang Haitian couldn't help but shake his head.
...
The following day, in the Demon Breath Palace, all the chief and deputy chiefs gathered in the Primordial Hall.
This time, Jiang Haitian didn't act as flamboyantly and wildly as he did yesterday.
Instead, he leaned back on a stone chair, looking around at the scene with a blank expression.
The court in the Demon Realm is very special. Apart from the Demon Breath Palace, the rest are composed of people from various social strata, including gangs and sects, local small forces, and demonic families.
In short, you can find people from all walks of life here.
This is also due to the unique national conditions of my Demon Realm. To make them establish an official system like a proper dynasty is practically impossible.
After all, everyone has a short temper and will draw their swords at the slightest disagreement, so it is impossible to form an effective court organization.
Leng Qingcheng's ability to get this group of people to listen to her is already quite remarkable.
"The Empress has arrived!"
With a shout, everyone stopped making noise.
Accompanied by Lin Xian'er and Yu Xiyan, Leng Qingcheng strode to the Demon Workshop, which symbolized the highest power of the Demon Palace.
As soon as she sat down, she revealed her long, snow-white legs, instantly causing several lecherous old men in the hall to have nosebleeds.
Jiang Haitian remained calm and composed, instinctively crossing his legs to suppress the gun that seemed about to rise, and shifting his position accordingly.
Damn, any normal man would react the same way if he saw this. There's nothing to be surprised about.
Leng Qingcheng glanced around, her gaze lingering on Jiang Haitian for a moment before she chuckled softly and said, "Alright, the purpose of today's court assembly..."
"The purpose of this discussion is to assess our relationship with the Heavenly Palace Dynasty and the tactics for counterattacking Qingtian Gorge. Before that, is there anything you wish to discuss?"
"have!"
Jiang Haitian decisively raised his hand and said.
"Before the court assembly officially begins, there is a small matter that requires the Empress's help."
"Oh? What is it?"
Leng Qingcheng immediately became interested.
Jiang Haitian said, "It's like this. Yesterday, someone came to my Dream Pavilion and said that his fiancée had been captured and brought to Your Majesty's palace. He specifically asked me to tell you that she wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingcheng frowned and instinctively looked at Yu Xiyan, who had a blank expression.
After the turmoil of the previous night, Yu Xiyan was completely numb and looked as if she had been ruined.
"Could it be that Shen Zhao has arrived?"
Leng Qingcheng pondered for a moment, then addressed Jiang Haitian.
"Where is that person?"
"Right outside the palace gate."
"Let him in."
Jiang Haitian immediately took out a sound transmission stone.
"Useless trash, you can come in now. Don't embarrass me."
After saying this, he smashed the sound transmission stone on the spot and casually tossed it into the basket.
They are very well-mannered, but not many.
The next moment, Ling Yuxuan, having received the signal, scrambled into the Demon Breath Palace and scanned the entire hall.
Finally, when his gaze fell on Yu Xiyan, he burst into tears and shouted, "Xiyan, I'm here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Xiyan suddenly came back to her senses.
"Senior brother?"
When she saw that the person who came was Ling Yuxuan, she was first surprised, and then a deep disappointment flashed across her face.
Because it wasn't him who came, it wasn't Shen Zhao.
"Junior sister~ don't be afraid, I'm here to save you..."
"Kneel down and talk!"
He was about to rush over regardless of the consequences when the guards pressed him to the ground.
