Yu Xiyan snorted softly, turned to look at Yue Beiqing's cold face, then shook her head, her eyes filled with contempt.
"You're right, I do crave the enjoyment that comes with the pinnacle of power."
However, the person who can take me to that level is definitely not you.
Having you makes me the happiest woman in the world? That's utterly absurd and laughable!
Your vision seems limited to the Demon Realm, doesn't it? Do you think conquering the Demon Realm is equivalent to conquering the world?
Hehe, your naivety is truly pathetic, pitiful, and laughable!
Upon hearing this, Yue Beiqing's expression turned cold: "Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty, are you questioning my abilities?"
"May I ask, is there any man in the world more charming and more capable than me, the Emperor, who can grant you the power to look down upon all living beings?"
Yu Xiyan took two steps back and said coldly, "Yue Beiqing, you can see that I have ambition,
But you underestimated the heights I aspire to reach—a height that remains unattainable even in your wildest dreams.
Do you think I'm one of those women you've slept with a few times, who you can just throw away a few bones and scraps of food you don't want and then easily get rid of?
Do you think that arguing over a city or a place will satisfy me, and then you foolishly stand on the city wall and wave to a group of ignorant admirers?
Yue Beiqing, you underestimate me. The reason you were able to conquer those women wasn't because of your great charm.
Rather, those women simply had never seen a wider world.
The sparrow's dream is to become a peacock and be content as a pet, while the swan's dream is to soar through the heavens and be reborn as a phoenix.
"Enough already! You've been working for nearly two thousand years and haven't even unified the Demon Realm. What makes you think you can give me everything I want?"
Yue Beiqing's expression instantly turned even colder: "Woman, are you mocking me? Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?"
"I do not believe it. Is there any man in the world who can be as you describe?"
Yu Xiyan sneered: "Isn't that right? Compared to him, you're not even as good as a fingernail!"
Put away your self-righteous act. I'm not the kind of woman who can get away with anything just because you offer a little sweetness.
What I want is something you can't do even if you try your hardest!
In the eyes of others, you may be the Holy Lord of the Demon Realm, a hegemon who rules over a region.
But in my eyes, you're like a frog at the bottom of a well; you've never seen the wider world!
Yu Xiyan's sarcastic remarks nearly broke Yue Beiqing's defenses.
It's also his fault for meeting Yu Xiyan, a woman who has experienced what true peak is like. She's not someone like Yue Beiqing who can be easily subdued with a few measly gifts.
After all, Shen Zhao only took less than twenty years to bring her to an unparalleled golden age where three thousand sects knelt in submission, envoys from all nations paid tribute, and military might spread throughout the world.
In comparison, Yue Beiqing, who has been in the Demon Realm for almost two thousand years, is still tearing each other apart with Leng Qingcheng. This is truly a case of being outmatched and hurting someone's self-esteem.
Not to mention that nearly a quarter of the land south of the Demon Realm in the previous world had been incorporated into the territory of the Silver Heaven Dynasty.
Therefore, in terms of material things alone, Yue Beiqing really can't offer Yu Xiyan that kind of level of achievement; it's just empty promises.
After all, women, regardless of the era, are creatures who admire strength.
This admiration for strength refers not only to the worship of power and money, but also to trust and dependence on one's partner, as well as the emotional attachment to them.
"Insolence! I do not believe it! Is there any man in the world who can surpass me? Do not provoke me with such delusions!"
Yue Beiqing roared and then strode towards Yu Xiyan.
"No matter what, I will completely conquer you tonight!"
Forced into a corner with nowhere to hide, Yu Xiyan glared angrily and said, "If you dare touch me! He will never let you off the hook. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try!"
"After I whip you, you'll never think of him again!"
After speaking, Yue Beiqing raised his palm and, standing two steps away from Yu Xiyan, unleashed his Emperor's Pressure.
In an instant, Yu Xiyan felt the silk covering her body getting tighter and tighter, and she could faintly hear a tearing sound.
She was startled.
But he quickly calmed down.
She was prepared to die to prove her innocence and protect her reputation.
Even knowing that Shen Zhao doesn't love her and will never come back to her, she still wants to hold onto this last line of defense for him.
It was the same in the past life, and it is the same in this life!
This had become an obsession for Yu Xiyan.
Just as Yue Beiqing was about to rip Yu Xiyan's clothes off, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted.
"Hey, looks like I've come at the wrong time. Should I leave for a bit?"
As Jiang Haitian spoke, he quietly slipped Yue Beiqing's cloak, which had fallen to the ground, out of the curtain.
Then he adjusted his sunglasses and walked up to the two of them.
Yue Beiqing paused for a moment, then immediately withdrew the Imperial Pressure.
"call……"
Yu Xiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What are you doing here?
Yue Beiqing was completely naked, meeting Jiang Haitian with complete honesty.
He still doesn't realize that the only thing he had when he arrived was a cloak that could cover his shame.
