Yan and Yun exchanged a glance, sensing a strong gossip undertone in the Demon Emperor's resentful voice.
Queen Medusa truly lived up to her reputation as stunningly beautiful, never lacking in romantic scandals. If I remember correctly, Yu Yanluo was once a sensation in the capital among humans, with countless princes and nobles captivated by her beauty and becoming her devoted followers. There were even rumors that Zhao Hao had pursued her.
Now that they know the Demon Emperor and her mother also had a past relationship, these two women are really something else. They've got the two most powerful men in the world wrapped around their little finger, and the key thing is that neither of them chose them in the end, but chose another man instead.
Zuan, however, was lost in thought, wondering how outstanding his father-in-law, whom he had never met, was, that he was almost as good as him.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo had also calmed down. Upon hearing this, she said unhappily, "I hope the Demon Emperor will be careful with his words. Whether it is me or my mother, we both followed our hearts and chose the people we loved. Even before my mother died, she did not regret marrying my father, and I will not regret it either."
Her usually beautiful and delicate face now showed a hint of determination.
Seeing her expression, the Demon Emperor was also somewhat lost in thought: "This expression is exactly the same as your mother's. Your mother also talked back to me like this back then. It's a pity that your judgment is really bad. You both chose an unreliable man."
Zuan immediately objected: "I think they have good taste. On the contrary, your taste in choosing an heir is really bad."
Crown Prince Jinwu: "..."
Damn it, I was just watching the show and got caught in the crossfire.
The Golden Crow Prince's anger level increased by 433...
The Demon Emperor's face darkened instantly, and he was no longer as amiable as he had been to Yu Yanluo: "How dare you speak to me like that?"
"Just telling the truth. If I'm not reliable, then what about your crown prince, whom I've beaten to a pulp time and time again?" Zu'an retorted directly.
Wu Liang secretly broke out in a cold sweat. This guy is really reckless. Doesn't he know how capricious the Demon Emperor is?
"Very good, very good!" The Demon Emperor's expression was exceptionally cold.
Yu Yanluo hurriedly stood in front of Zu An: "You are not allowed to hurt him."
Having managed a huge family for many years and navigated the treacherous world of the human capital with various nobles, she was adept at manipulating people's hearts. She realized that the other party seemed to know her mother and wouldn't harm her in the short term, so she stepped forward to protect Zu'an.
Seeing this scene, Yan Xuehen was somewhat stunned. At first, when she heard that her disciple had fallen in love with a man, and that the man was also very lecherous and had many women around him, she simply assumed that those women were deceived by his sweet talk.
At first, he thought that revealing Zu'an's true colors would make the women leave on their own; or that some women were simply attracted to his looks or money and would be easier to get rid of.
Upon getting to know him, they discovered that he was surrounded by extraordinary women, each one loyal and compassionate.
The key issue is that now even I've fallen for it.
Yun Jianyue was also extremely troubled. Originally, she was only worried about Yan Xuehen's disciple, thinking that only she was worthy of being her precious disciple's formidable opponent. But now it seems that neither of them is good enough to defeat Yu Yanluo. Should she make them unite and fight against Yu Yanluo?
The thought sent chills down her spine. How could her own disciple possibly join forces with the Ice Stone Woman's disciple?
Zuan then gently patted Yu Yanluo's shoulder: "You don't need to worry too much. If the Demon Emperor wanted to kill me, he would have done so long ago. Why would he give you the chance to stop him?"
Yu Yanluo was taken aback. Indeed, with the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, if he were to make a move, she wouldn't be able to react at all, let alone have the chance to stand in front of Zu An.
The Demon Emperor gave Zu'an a deep look: "Young man, sometimes being too smart doesn't necessarily mean you'll live a long life."
"Whether you're smart or stupid doesn't really matter; in the end, it all comes down to fate," Zu An said in a deep voice.
The Demon Emperor was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect that you could sense the existence of fate at such a young age. Indeed, the higher my cultivation level, the more I can feel that everything seems to be controlled by an invisible fate."
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue's expressions changed slightly. In fact, at their level, they had also vaguely sensed the inexplicable influence of fate. They originally thought it was just their own psychological effect, but they did not expect it to be real.
Seeing the Demon Emperor and Zu'an chatting so happily, Crown Prince Jinwu became anxious: "Father, when my second brother sent someone to assassinate me, I naturally had no objection to you telling me to forget the hatred and be respectful to my brothers. But this guy is not related to me at all, yet he has tried to assassinate me several times, causing me so much suffering. Are you going to let him go too?"
The Demon Emperor said calmly, "You have disappointed me greatly. You are only concerned with being brave and fierce. You have not even known his identity for so long. This person is a favorite minister of the human emperor and the most trusted confidant of the Crown Prince. He was recently granted the title of Grand Earl. How can such a person be killed so easily?"
Prince Jinwu stared wide-eyed at Zu'an, never expecting him to have such a powerful background. At the same time, a look of shame and indignation flashed across his face. A mere subordinate of the human prince had beaten him so badly.
The Golden Crow Prince's anger level increased by 555...
Wu Liang blinked, thinking to himself that appearances can be deceiving. This kid actually has such a powerful background, but he's also incredibly stupid. With such a background, how could he come to the demon royal court? Isn't he just courting death?
Yan, Yun, and Yu looked at Zu An with worry. They never expected that the Demon Emperor would investigate so thoroughly. It was truly terrifying.
Zuan, however, was quite frank: "The Demon Emperor is indeed unfathomable. No wonder he can rival our clan's emperor."
