After dawn, the demon race held a grand ceremony at the altar outside the imperial tomb.
The announcement served two purposes: first, to announce the death of the old Demon Emperor; and second, to announce the ascension of the new emperor.
The young empress became the empress dowager, because the young prince was too young and she had to take care of many things.
Representatives from various ethnic groups watched the ceremony from below, secretly marveling at how the world described the Little Demon Queen as incomparably beautiful, and today's observation proved it to be true.
Moreover, her complexion was rosier than usual, and she looked even more radiant than at her peak.
Many people even speculated maliciously that the fact that she looked even more beautiful after her husband's death meant that she had just been thoroughly satisfied by some virile man.
Of course, this idea was just a joke; even the most hostile races wouldn't believe such a thing would happen.
Her son became the new Demon Emperor, and she herself became the true ruler of the demon race. As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they have good news, so it is normal for her to be radiant.
As for the pain of losing a husband, the royal family is a place where emotions are most detached.
The young demon queen was walking up the carpeted steps. The most important moment was about to begin. As the empress dowager, she needed to receive the new emperor's homage and, at the same time, crown the new emperor on behalf of the old demon emperor.
She was dressed in a magnificent gown, the long train of which trailed down the long staircase like a phoenix tail.
She was walking with a graceful and elegant air when suddenly her body trembled and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Xiao, who was standing by, felt a pang of anxiety and asked quietly.
"It's nothing." The little demon queen shook her head slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. Just now... it had leaked out.
In fact, she had tried quite hard to restrain herself along the way, but walking up such a long staircase was really a challenge to her willpower.
That guy really poured it out like water...
She hadn't slept all night, and before she knew it, it was dawn. Then Aunt Xiao brought palace maids to help her with her makeup and dressing.
Time was too tight; she didn't have time to take a bath.
Fortunately, the dress was very formal—and therefore very conservative—so she wouldn't embarrass herself in public.
She took a deep breath and continued walking up the steps.
In everyone's eyes, the Little Demon Queen was dignified and noble in every gesture, and apart from being a little too charming and beautiful, she was flawless.
However, at this moment, the little demon queen's thoughts returned to the enchanting scene of last night. Zu An deliberately made her open the array in her palace. She guessed his intentions and was unwilling to offend him on such matters, but in her heart she was not so willing.
So initially, they planned to express their protest silently.
Unfortunately, this guy came out like a battering ram, unstoppable, and she was almost routed in the first encounter.
She also had her own pride, biting her red lips tightly as she tried to reorganize her crumbling defenses.
But the more she acted this way, the more the other party took advantage of her...
She was a little shocked at the time, never expecting that the guy who looked so delicate and handsome would have such a side.
She didn't think much of it, assuming that her charm had completely stirred up the impulse hidden deep in the other person's heart, and even a little bit of pride.
That guy was so rough, it was really...so likable.
Her persistence was meaningless in the face of absolute dominance, and she soon couldn't hold back any longer, which startled Aunt Xiao outside.
She had never felt so free before, nor had she ever felt every cell in her body cheering so enthusiastically.
For a moment, she felt that she had wasted all these years and that she would probably never be this happy again in her life.
However, several other moments soon followed, causing her to overturn her previous exclamation...
She never expected that guy would not only be so powerful in cultivation, but also... no, the latter is even more powerful. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be invincible. In that instant, she finally understood why he was surrounded by so many stunningly beautiful female confidantes.
Whether it's Queen Medusa, the Elf Princess, those two incredibly beautiful Grandmasters, or even the Mermaid Princess from the Sea Clan...
Either one is something that most people can only dream of but never attain.
As a result, these women all surrounded Zuan. Before, she was very confused. Were these women crazy? They were all top-notch people. Why would they have to humble themselves and share a man with other sisters?
However, after last night, she suddenly realized that she had been too naive.
Furthermore, after a night of fierce fighting, she found that she was not only not tired at all, but also full of energy, and even the injuries she had sustained in the first half of the night had healed.
As the queen of the demon race, she naturally possessed extraordinary knowledge and, having experienced such intimate contact, immediately realized that the other party had the essence blood of a Heaven-rank talent.
It is an extremely nourishing food for women.
Although she sometimes flirted with men, it was merely a means to win over court officials; no one had ever heard of her actually having any improper relationships with anyone.
So she's not the kind of woman who's fickle or promiscuous at all, but last night she acted out of character, taking from him again and again.
At first, he only intended to use the other party's superior quality essence blood to nourish himself, but later he unknowingly fell into the trap.
For a fleeting moment, she even considered having his child, completely opening herself up to accept him.
However, as the ceremony began today, her rationality gradually returned. She realized that her identity was too sensitive, and if she were to give birth to another child as the Empress Dowager, it would be a disaster.
So I can only refine my essence into qi for now. At least... at least I'll have a chance later when the political situation stabilizes.
Aunt Xiao, who was standing to the side, had been secretly watching her expression. Seeing the sweet smile on her lips, she knew exactly what was going on, even if others didn't.
