The Nine-Headed Serpent is a monster of water and fire, with a human body and a snake's tail. It can spew water and fire, and its cry sounds like a baby's wail. It has nine heads, hence the name Nine-Headed Serpent.
Tong Su glanced at him secretly.
—This was the Jiuying who later caused chaos when all ten suns appeared, and was shot down by Hou Yi with the Sun-Shooting Bow in the Xiongshui River.
The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily, "That old bastard from the Styx River will probably be here soon. He even said last time that he wanted my son to travel to his place for a while."
The goddess Xihe, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but frown and interrupt: "You mustn't let those ten little devils go to the Netherworld Blood Sea! What kind of place is the Netherworld Blood Sea? It's filthy beyond belief! And those ten are so mischievous and naughty, they'll definitely cause trouble if they go there!"
As he spoke, he glared threateningly at the Heavenly Emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" His voice was full of warning, clearly saying only, "Try answering wrong."
Tong Su was surprised to see that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, who was originally majestic and noble, suddenly jumped up from his seat upon hearing the voice of Lady Xihe!
His arrogant expression vanished instantly, and he even came over to fawn over her.
"Oh, Xihe? When did you arrive?... Don't worry, I won't let my son go, definitely not!"
The ten sages were not surprised by His Majesty's instant change of expression; in fact, they were quite used to it and burst into laughter. Some slammed their fists on the table and cheered, while others pointed at the Heavenly Emperor and shook their heads.
"Look, look! His Majesty is afraid of his sister-in-law again!"
Demons are very open-minded.
When discussing serious matters, they respect the Heavenly Emperor; in private, they are all good brothers.
Faced with the ridicule of his subordinates, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor was not ashamed, but rather proud, and even said triumphantly: "How is this called being afraid of one's wife? It's clearly me respecting my wife! You bunch of guys, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
The demon saints all booed in unison.
Enraged, the Heavenly Emperor unleashed his ultimate attack: "What, you dare to mock me? You're all still single demons, how could you understand the feelings that only couples have! You don't even have partners yet!"
"..."
Your Majesty, that's going too far.
Let me tell you, your personal attacks will shatter our already fragile, superficial relationship!
The demon saints were brutally attacked, their health bars almost instantly emptied.
They clutched their chests in anguish, vowing never to have any further interaction with such successful people who seemed to have fulfilling lives!
They helped each other out of the main hall, angrily and cruelly abandoning the Heavenly Emperor, who was still struggling to please his wife, ignoring his pleading eyes.
The Goddess Xihe, unable to escape the Heavenly Emperor's clutches, angrily slapped his arm:
"I'm here to talk to you about serious matters! Your Little Tong Bow has materialized, and I want to adopt her as my daughter. I'm here to ask you for her back."
"No rush, no rush, honey, we haven't been intimate in ages—it's just a bow, isn't it? Whatever you want, I'll find it for you, right, honey? We... wait a minute, is that a male or female transformation?"
The Goddess Xihe stared at him with almost contempt, repeating emphatically, "Adopted! Daughter!"
His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed: "A woman is good, a woman is no problem! Of course I agree, you can take her whenever you want! Wife, last time I told you I found a great place called 'Hot Spring,' when are we going there for our honeymoon?"
With a flick of her sleeve, the Goddess Xihe first released a wisp of spiritual energy, completely covering Tongsu's eyes and ears. Then, she angrily lashed out at the Heavenly Emperor: "There are so many people here, what are you doing? There are children here too!"
"If no one's around, is that alright? Let's go to the back hall—Jiuying, I'm leaving the child with you. Keep an eye on him for my wife, don't let him get lost!"
Tong Su: ? ? ?
No, is the Heavenly Emperor really that casual?
Isn't this supposed to be the majestic and meticulous Heavenly Emperor? How come he's showing off his love like this? Tsk tsk tsk, it's so cheesy it gives me goosebumps!
Look at the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Court in later generations! The Heavenly Court is so strict and dogmatic that they don't even allow couples to date, let alone show affection.
Even if the Jade Emperor's own sister, niece, or daughter falls in love with a mortal, he will still have to judge them impartially. They will either be imprisoned under Peach Mountain, or under Mount Hua, or they will be brought back and separated by the Milky Way, only able to meet once a year via the Magpie Bridge...
While Tongsu was still in a daze, her guardian was changed. Her clothes were tightened at the back of her neck, and she was dragged out of the palace. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor had already picked up Xihe and carried her to the back hall.
"Your Majesty is so childish. You already have ten sons, yet you still cling to the Empress every day, afraid she'll run away? You're an old married couple, is it really necessary to be like this..."
The demon saints smacked their lips, their faces showing utter disdain for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, but a closer look at their eyes revealed nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred from single demons towards the winner in the demon world.
Waaah, having a wife makes all the difference!
In the primordial world, customs were open; unmarried people, as long as they were attracted to each other, didn't care about race, gender, or cultivation level, and could do whatever they wanted anytime, anywhere, under the open sky.
Of course, the academic term for this is "dual cultivation," also known as "casual romance."
And those who are married...
Tsk tsk tsk, they're constantly showing off their love anytime, anywhere.
Tong Su was lifted up by her collar. She turned her head quickly and was met with nine identical curious heads!
scare!
The nine heads were still chattering away, "Wow! It's a baby! How rare! Little one, what's your name? Have you been given a name yet?"
"Do you have a master? What do you think of me? I am one of the Ten Saints of the Demon Clan, and my strength is extremely powerful. You won't lose out if you follow me!"
"I don't have a natal magic weapon yet, so you're my perfect match! Even if I acquire other magic treasures and spiritual artifacts in the future, you'll always be my ideal woman. I won't abandon you or let you become my old, worn-out magic weapon!"
