"Jiang Haitian, do you want to die? Believe me or not, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs right now!"
"Then you dare feed me today! I, Jiang Haitian, have been around for so many years, what storms haven't I weathered?"
If I'd shown even the slightest bit of cowardice, I wouldn't be standing here arguing with you today!
"Ha, you think you're so tough now? Tell me, how many lives do you have to be so reckless?"
"You can't imagine how many lives I've had. Do you think I'm new to this world? Even if your whole family is wiped out, I'll still be alive and kicking."
It's fortunate it's now; if it were the old me, with my temper, you wouldn't have uttered a single word!
"Hahaha..."
Unexpectedly, Leng Qingcheng became more and more pleased the more she retorted, and eventually even burst into laughter.
"Very well, it seems you are quite capable. Alright then, you'll make a trip to the Heavenly Palace Dynasty."
"As long as Luo Pianruo obediently agrees to withdraw her troops from Shenghe Pass, I will promote you to the position of Grand Master of the Wind and Cloud Hall of the Demon Breath Palace."
"No interest! I'm not going!"
Jiang Haitian refused without even thinking.
"I'm just here to coast along. Do you really think the meager salary you're paying is enough for me to use mouthwash every day?"
"Don't even think about using me as a tool for free. Find someone else. Forget about it."
Leng Qingcheng's expression changed: "Jiang Haitian, I have already lowered my stance, you better not take advantage of me."
Jiang Haitian twirled the magic bead in his hand, seemingly deep in thought.
After a moment, he said, "I can go, but on one condition."
"explain."
"I want to be the chief envoy to the Heavenly Palace Dynasty. As for the deputy envoy, I personally suggest that we skip it, since none of the good-for-nothings here are capable of anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was just watching the show suddenly burst into a tirade of traditional Chinese culture.
"Hey Jiang, who the hell are you calling trash?"
"Jiang Haitian, I advise you not to be so arrogant!"
"If you put it that way, I'll be the first to disagree. How am I a piece of trash?"
"That's right. At least I can do addition and subtraction within ten numbers, which is pretty awesome in the Demon Realm."
Faced with the crowd's insults and accusations, Jiang Haitian shrugged and said to the Empress, "See? They've all given their own accounts. Do you still think there's anything wrong with what I said?"
Leng Qingcheng glanced around and sighed helplessly.
It's truly a chaotic and corrupt place. Sending this bunch of scoundrels to the Heavenly Palace will most likely result in disaster.
"As long as you make Luo Pianhong retreat a hundred miles from Shenghe Pass, you will have completed the mission of the Demon Breath Palace!"
However, the selection of a deputy envoy cannot be overlooked. Of course, you should each make your own decisions and not interfere with each other.
After he finished speaking, a jet-black token shot straight toward Jiang Haitian's storefront.
Bang~
Even as the token nearly grazed Jiang Haitian's cheek and embedded itself in the back of the chair, he neither made a move nor dodged.
He remained calm and continued to play with the magic bead in his hand.
"Does Jiang Haitian truly not know any martial arts techniques, or does he know that this attack will not hit him?"
"Strange, I can't see through his cultivation level at all. Could he really just be a mortal?"
Leng Qingcheng felt a sudden sense of doubt.
"Empress, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go down and make some preparations. By the way, this token is stuck too tightly, could you help me loosen it?"
Upon hearing Jiang Haitian's words, Leng Qingcheng immediately raised her hand, and amidst the swirling demonic energy, the Realm Pass was already in Jiang Haitian's hands.
"Let's go!"
Upon receiving the pass, Jiang Haitian shook his hand, got up without looking back, and walked directly out of the Demon Breath Palace.
"The court assembly isn't over yet, and you're already planning to leave like this?"
"Is there anything else for me to do?"
"Stay and listen to the tactical plan for the counterattack on Tianqing Gorge."
"A waste of time, I don't have the time."
After saying that, he strode out of the Demon Breath Palace.
Leng Qingcheng thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Yu Xiyan, "I heard that Luo Pianhong contacted you a few years ago?"
"I suppose you two have some connection, so I'll appoint you as my Deputy Demon Envoy and accompany Jiang Haitian to the Heavenly Palace."
Yu Xiyan was taken aback, then whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Don't even think about running away. I've placed a forbidden spell on you, and your lover is also in my hands. If you try to escape, you'll both die."
"No, Your Majesty."
"Go and get ready. Oh, and go to Sister Song's room; she needs to talk to you."
Yu Xiyan was startled upon hearing this; she felt a deep-seated fear of Song Yanran.
...
An hour later, Yu Xiyan cautiously knocked on Song Yanran's door.
"Come in."
Song Yanran's emotionless voice came from inside.
Yu Xiyan took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open to enter.
He walked with his head down into the inner room where Song Yanran was.
At this moment, Song Yanran, dressed in a light blue silk casual outfit, sat sideways on the couch, one hand supporting her face, her eyes fixed on the glowing wall opposite her.
Yu Xiyan glanced at her cautiously. She never expected that Song Yanran would be so elegant and noble up close. Her delicate face and faint royal aura were all comparable to her own.
"Look over there."
Song Yanran didn't even glance at Yu Xiyan, and directly gestured for her to look at the wall.
Yu Xiyan followed Song Yanran's gaze.
Upon closer inspection, they were utterly dumbfounded.
The scene depicts the previous self, now standing on the newly built Hongmeng Platform, arms outstretched, fully embracing the magnificent spectacle of all nations paying tribute.
"The Empress!"
Yu Xiyan turned pale with fright and knelt down at Song Yanran's feet.
Isn't this the scene from the past life that I saw at the Divine Phoenix Ruins and the Kunlun Mirror?
