After a period of contact, Su Chen discovered that Zhou Yao was indeed very mature, with a mindset more like that of a queen. She often did things flawlessly, without the naiveté of a little girl.
She looks like a loli, but is a queen at heart.
Su Chen couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that all the women he came into contact with had their own characteristics.
"Husband, do you want to go get something delicious?"
Zhou Yao suddenly asked with a smile, and there was no sense of incongruity in calling Su Chen "husband".
Su Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay."
What can I do? Both of them have made substantial progress in their relationship, and I can only pamper my own woman.
It was during their honeymoon.
Imperial city.
Li Qingyue frowned. After growing up over the years and with the careful teaching of the elders in the clan, she has changed a lot and is much more mature than before.
There was a serious look in her eyes.
"Is Nine Demon Mountain rioting again?"
After the Nine Demon Mountain was pacified last time, there has been no movement since then. Why did they jump out and cause trouble again recently?
"With the strength of our Nine Star Empire, can't we just destroy the Nine Demon Mountain?"
The old man below was the Sixth Elder of the Imperial Family. Hearing this, his expression became solemn. "It's not that we don't want to, but Nine Demon Mountain is connected to the Demon Realm. Last time, our Nine Star Empire sensed the presence of a powerful Immortal Monarch demon within Nine Demon Mountain."
"If we rashly attack Nine Demon Mountain, I'm afraid our Nine Star Empire will directly become the site of a war between humans and demons."
Li Qingyue's face turned extremely ugly when she heard this. She had never been exposed to these things before, so she didn't have a deep understanding of this matter. But now after hearing these secrets, her brows furrowed.
If there really is a demon clan behind the Nine Demon Mountain, then this matter will be very difficult to handle.
This is really a big problem.
The fifth elder just looked at Li Qingyue silently. Anyway, she was the one in charge of the Nine Star Empire now, so he just had to do as she was told.
Although Li Qingyue has been relatively immature in many things she has done over the years, her growth has been very significant. Although the decisions she has made are not very brilliant, they are not wrong.
Li Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The war between humans and demons concerns the entire human race. Are other forces just going to sit back and do nothing?"
The fifth elder shook his head silently when he heard this. This girl was still a little immature.
Of course other forces will care, but it is also necessary to protect oneself. If the demon clan is really preparing to invade again, they will definitely choose a place as the battlefield. They cannot bring disaster upon themselves from the beginning.
At least they will have to wait until the Nine Star Empire has started a war with the demon clan before they send strong men to support.
Li Qingyue quickly shook her head: "It seems normal not to help. If we push our Nine Star Empire to the front, we can block the bullets and consume the strength of the demon race."
She is not really stupid, but sometimes her cognition is limited, which makes her unable to see the whole story of some things.
But she can still think clearly about these normal logics about human nature.
The war between humans and demons will definitely affect many people. This is inevitable, but no one wants to be cannon fodder, especially for some strong people. They have many things and are naturally more afraid of death.
If someone were to be the cannon fodder, they would be very happy to do so.
The fifth elder nodded again, his mind still working quickly.
Through the contact over the years, he found that although Li Qingyue was not so experienced in doing things, her thinking was very malleable and she was not that stupid. As long as she was given some time to cultivate, she would definitely be a qualified Nine-Star Majesty in the future.
Li Qingyue pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "Fifth Elder, we must deal with Nine Demon Mountain, right? If we don't eradicate it, the demon tribe might send more demon beasts to guard it, and things will only get more complicated."
"But if we destroy Nine Demon Mountain directly, the demon tribe might still be afraid and might not choose to attack our Nine Star Empire."
"Fifth Elder, what do you think?"
Many of the major decisions Li Qingyue currently makes actually require the approval of the Council of Elders. After all, she is not strong enough now, and the power behind her is not enough. She does not have that much authority to make the entire empire submit to her.
She was not that anxious about it, as such things could not be accomplished overnight.
The fifth elder fell into deep thought. There was nothing wrong with Li Qingyue's decision, but it also came with a huge risk, which was a direct collision with the demon clan.
The empress is still in seclusion. If the demons really launch a large-scale attack, it will be even more detrimental to their Nine Star Empire.
Demonstration seems to be a good option.
The Fifth Elder hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "This matter is of great importance. We need to consult with the other elders of the clan. What do you think, Seventh Prince?"
He did not use a direct commanding tone, but spoke very gently.
Now the empress in the royal family has tacitly acknowledged Li Qingyue as the heir. In addition, there is an unknown strong man behind Li Qingyue. From this point, it can be seen that Li Qingyue's future is bright.
Soon, the elders had discussed how to deal with Nine Demons Mountain.
Just as Li Qingyue said before, keeping the Nine Demon Mountain would definitely be a big problem. Although there are risks in destroying the Nine Demon Mountain, at least the risks are not as great as keeping it.
But this matter is too important, they must first consult the Empress.
The Third Elder tried to call out to the Empress, expecting no response, but the Empress replied with a single, concise word:
"allow."
After getting the permission from the empress, two elders of the royal family immediately led the five immortal kings to Nine Demon Mountain. These two were the third elder and the fifth elder.
One of them is in the middle stage of Immortal King, and the other is in the late stage of Immortal King, both of them are capable of killing the nine demon kings of Nine Demon Mountain.
During the previous contact with the Nine Demons Mountain, the royal family knew that there was a powerful immortal monster beast there, so the second elder followed behind in secret.
In this way, even the demon beasts at the level of Immortal King cannot stop them.
A silent battle suddenly broke out in the Nine Star Empire.
The people of the Nine Star Empire acted extremely quickly, giving the monsters in Nine Demon Mountain no time to react.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a huge explosion, almost all the cultivators who had reached the Immortal King level in the Nine Star Empire opened their eyes at the same time, and they looked in a certain direction with horror.
The immortal monk takes action!
Who dares to do this in the Nine Star Empire?
But when they used their spiritual sense to investigate, they immediately understood that it was the royal family who was killing and slaughtering the Nine Demons Mountain. This was normal. Although there were many demons in Zhongzhou, they were all within the controllable range.
However, the Nine Demons Mountain was about to slip out of the control of the royal family, so it was understandable to destroy it now.
