"Kill me?" Yamamune Mitsuaki trembled with fear, fell to his knees with a thud, and pleaded, "Don't kill me, I won't tell anyone, please, don't kill me..."
A dark shadow flickered within the forest-green will-o'-the-wisps, and two figures slowly emerged, looking at him with disdain: "Trash!"
"Yes, yes, I'm useless, please don't kill me..."
Yamamune Mitsuaki lowered his head in humiliation. He knew perfectly well how shameless and disgusting his behavior was, but…
Can one's reputation compare to one's life?
His voice grew increasingly obsequious as he pleaded, but the two demonic cultivators remained unmoved, their gazes even turning to one of disgust.
"There's no need to beg anymore. Dead people are the most tight-lipped; we don't trust you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark green will-o'-the-wisp rushed towards him, and with a flash of green light, it swallowed him whole!
Yamamunemitsu let out a heart-wrenching scream, wailing and cursing in agony, "You will all die a horrible death! What right do you have to kill me..."
In no time, he turned into ashes in the will-o'-the-wisp. The two demonic cultivators waved their hands with contempt, sucking the dead soul into the bottom of the grave, and chuckled softly.
"You wretch, that is the Demon Queen Consort of my Demon Lord! How dare you harm her? Die!"
If Tong Su were here, she would be surprised to find that these two demonic cultivators were one of the people Tian Xuanzi left behind to protect her.
The two demonic cultivators cleaned up the traces at the scene, quickly left, disguised themselves as righteous cultivators again, and returned to the Loose Cultivator City as if nothing had happened.
On the way, someone suddenly said, "Hey, why did you just say Demon Consort, not Demon Queen?"
The other person had a deep and serious expression: "Of course, there are important reasons."
The demonic cultivator was extremely curious: "What's the reason? Tell me quickly!" Could it be that the Demon Queen is someone else? Could it be that the Lord is going to marry someone else's daughter? Could it be that the Lord has someone else in his heart behind his deep affection?
Good heavens!
Just as his burning curiosity was about to die out, the other person finally spoke up in a serious tone.
"Because 'Demon Queen' sounds better than 'Demon Empress'!"
"..."
"Do you really think the Lord has another woman? The Lord has practically given his heart to Miss Bai, can't you see what the Lord means?" The demonic cultivator looked at him with disdain. "Idiot, it serves you right that you can't get a promotion or a raise!"
"…………"
·
Tong Su, a young woman in her prime, was unaware that she had been labeled a "demon queen" by the demonic cultivators in their minds. At this moment, she had just finished eating and drinking with the alchemists and weapon makers and was staggering back to the weapon-refining workshop.
Wen Qingyuan hurriedly sought her out.
"Oh, you've been drinking? I told you, young lady, you should go out more. Staying cooped up in the weapon-refining room all day, what kind of behavior is that!"
Ancestor Wen Qing was delighted that she was going out, and generously waved his hand: "Today's expenses will be covered by the public account, I'll pay for them. In the future, let them take you out more often to relax! If you meet a suitable young male cultivator, don't be shy, just go for it!"
Tong Su chuckled, "Teacher, stop joking. My senior brother and I haven't broken up. Is there something important you need today?"
Wen Qingyuan frowned and said, "You didn't break up? Then why isn't he coming to see you? If he's a heartless man, don't hold back, just kick him out! Oh, right, there is something important to discuss!"
She took out a formation plate and slammed it onto the table.
“I intercepted a signal today from the communication book we studied together a few years ago. It’s related to you. Come and take a look.”
