Upon hearing the word "Master," Xiao Yuhan immediately stopped in his tracks, as if a long-buried memory had surfaced in his mind. However, he still couldn't recall it, so he turned to look at Jun Tan with some disbelief, "What?"
Jun Tan was also quite surprised. Why would she suddenly call him "Master"? In the past, when she was vulnerable and powerless, she always felt that if she called him "Master," that man would definitely stay by her side. But looking at Xiao Yuhan's expression now, her lips trembled slightly, and after a long silence, she finally said, "You are not him..."
Although Xiao Yuhan found it a bit strange, she still left without looking back, leaving only the words: "Miss Jun Tan, farewell to the martial world."
...
On the Northern Plains, a palace appeared out of nowhere. It was built by Ajiu based on the one that Fengming Mountain once had. She thought that when Juntan returned, this place would be just like it used to be.
I also hope that the person she has been waiting for can be the same as before.
The little demons around him didn't understand why killing just a few humans would cause their respected Demon King Ajiu to be reprimanded by the Emperor, so they started chattering on the way back.
"Lord Ajiu, why is the Emperor angry?"
Ajiu stared at the empty hall, her eyes devoid of any light. "Because the Emperor is no longer the same as she was back then. It seems she is not a vessel, but a symbiotic being..."
"Lord Ajiu, why is the Emperor not the Emperor?"
“If it were the Empress back then, she wouldn’t have said anything if I did something like this. The former Empress wouldn’t have been close to humans, or rather, she wouldn’t have been close to anyone. This can’t go on like this…” Ajiu’s eyes sharpened, and after a moment of silence, she looked at the confidants she had cultivated over the past few days, as if she had thought of something.
"You guys, do me a favor and kill those two men, Xiao Yuhan and Nanmen Yihen."
"What? But... Lord Ajiu, those two are not easy to deal with."
"Then bring more people. If you really can't handle it, then don't come back!" Ajiu's face grew increasingly grim. She dismissed her subordinates and then turned to look at the throne that was originally made for Juntan, her expression momentarily dazed.
The hall was empty, and her heart began to tremble. She slowly walked up the steps to the throne and carefully touched the seat reserved for the demon emperor, her expression filled with longing. But she quickly came to her senses and immediately knelt before the throne.
"I... how could I have such thoughts... I deserve to die!" As soon as she finished speaking, Ajiu slapped herself hard.
But when she raised her head, her gaze turned cold. She stared at the throne for a long time, then slowly rose and sat down. At that moment, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
Suddenly, a noise came from inside the hall. She instinctively stood up and looked around in a panic. "Who's there! Come out!"
At this moment, a white-haired woman slowly walked out from a corner of the palace not far away. She and Ajiu both had white hair, but she looked much more delicate, unlike Ajiu, who always exuded the primal aura of a demon beast.
"Oh, what do I see? Turns out you're not such a good person after all..."
"Jiang Yining, you dare to come here? Are you tired of living?" Ajiu recognized the newcomer and slowly sat back on the throne.
"You dare to sit in Jun Tan's seat? I think you're asking for trouble!" Jiang Yining said with a smile.
“Why can’t I sit? She is indeed the supreme Demon Emperor of the demon race, and I respect her from the bottom of my heart. But… she dislikes the throne, just like many years ago. She disdains this vulgar position. You know, back on Phoenix Cry Mountain, I sat in this position, then Bai Yu sat, then Dan Zhu sat, and so on. In the end, the true emperors of the demon race were the three of us. As for Her Majesty the Emperor, she only wanted to guard an empty valley and never came out. Indeed, when she was alive, only she could sit on this throne, but now that she is gone, I am the true emperor of the demon race!”
"You are being rather arrogant. Although Baiyu is dead, Danzhu is still alive."
"Hmph! Danzhu? Her? Always imitating Juntan, thinking that just because she's called the most like the Emperor, she really is one? Sure, they are both phoenixes, but how can she compare to the Emperor? I don't even consider Danzhu a threat. Tell me, what are you doing here? Speak properly, and maybe you'll die a quicker death."
"I placed all my hopes on Bai Yu, but I never expected him to be so useless, actually dying at Xiao Yuhan's hands. What a waste! Qian Yu, let's join forces. I will be the emperor of the human world, and you will be the emperor of the demon race. Together, we will create this world!"
Ajiu's anger rose from within: "There is only one emperor in this world, and that is Juntan."
"But you are now desecrating her throne."
“If she doesn’t want this throne, it will be mine sooner or later!” Ajiu continued.
"Why say sooner or later? With your strength, you can easily hold this position. Just as you said, in this world, Danzhu is not worthy of your attention. There is no demon stronger than you except Juntan. Eliminate Juntan and you will be the only emperor!"
Qian Yu stared at Jiang Yining, a cold smile playing on her lips. She raised her hand and used her fingernail to clean the gaps between the nails of her other hand. "Have you misunderstood something? Jiang Yining, I look down on you. What right do you have to talk to me about joining forces?"
Are you content to be subservient to Juntan?
"Why are you so unwilling? Do you think I'm a fool like Bai Yu? Even if you're second only to one person, you're still someone no one dares to provoke. Look, didn't Bai Yu become the Demon King himself? He thought he could be like Jun Tan, and even fantasized about bringing all the demons of Xiliang under his command. In the end, he was killed by Xiao Yuhan with a single sword. What was he after?"
