After leaving the Eastern Divine Region, the black profound arks that no longer needed to conceal their presence increased their speed drastically as they shot through the Southern Divine Region.
The Southern Divine Region was thrown into a great panic because of that, as everyone feared for their lives. However, these black profound arks ignored everything else, flying into the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm in an exceptionally neat formation. All the major star realms and hubs in the Southern Divine Region had gone untouched, unlike what had happened in the Eastern Divine Region.
A few days passed since those black profound arks flew into the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm, but the forces of the Northern Divine Region showed no sign of disembarking. Despite that being the case, the panic that had engulfed the entire Southern Divine Region still hadnât dissipated.
The core of the Northern Divine Regionâs strength had shifted from the Eastern Divine Region to the Southern Divine Region, and to the Southern Divine Regionâs star realms and profound practitioners, it felt no different from having their heads thrust into a tigerâs mouth. No one could guess when it would go crazy and bite their head off.
This time, the Northern Divine Region had truly shifted all of their forces over. The three king realms of the north, the Burning Moon Realm, Soul Stealing Realm, and Yama Realm had led the way, and the core forces of the upper and middle star realms had traveled alongside them. This large movement made it seem as if they were abandoning the conquered Eastern Divine Region in a desperate bid to avoid the Dragon God Realmâs wrath.
Chi Wuyao and the three Witches Jie Ling, Jie Xin, and Hua Jin, arrived last.
When she entered the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm, everyone bowed to her the moment they saw her. This included both the devils of the north and the profound practitioners of the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm. The former did it out of worshipful adoration, but the latter did it out of abject fear.
This was the Devil Queen of the North, Chi Wuyao! The dreadful woman who had beaten the number one Dragon God black and blue and sent him scurrying away in defeat!
Furthermore, the two ephemerally beautiful women behind her with cold and serene expressions on their identical faces , were the twin Witches who had beaten back the Pure Dragon God by themselves.
There was no one in the God Realm who did not have the images of these three women engraved in their hearts and souls.
âTen Directions Deep Sea Realm King Cang Shitian respectfully welcomes the Devil Queen.â
After he yelled out that excited and nervous greeting, Cang Shitian stepped forward to officially welcome her with his entire retinue of Sea Gods. He bowed respectfully before she had even drawn near and shouted, âThe heavenly might of the Devil Queen shakes the world, and it has already resounded in my ear like heavenly thunder since ten millennia ago. I finally had the honor to see the Devil Queenâs true prowess a few days ago and even one as strong as the Crimson Destruction Dragon God was nothing but a mere worm in front of your heavenly might.â
âThe only one under heaven who can be the Devil Masterâs queen is the Devil Queen herself, and the only one who deserves to obtain the Devil Queenâs majestic body is the Devil Master himself! With the Devil Master and the Devil Queen joining forces, it is truly time for a new era to dawn! A time for new rules to be written!â
Chi Wuyaoâs alluring eyes hidden beneath black mist swept over Cang Shitian before she languidly replied, âIâve heard of the Southern Divine Regionâs God Emperor Shitian since a long time ago, and you truly do live up to your reputation. Even your words of praise are at the level of a god emperor.â
Cang Shitian bowed his head and said, âI dare not receive such lavish praise from the Devil Queen. The fact that the Devil Queen even deigns to grace the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm with her presence is a multitudinous blessing in and of itself. Having the Devil Queen grace me with her presence today is truly worth even a hundred calamitiesâŠâ
Before he could finish speaking, Cang Shitian suddenly sensed an extremely heavy and oppressive aura rapidly approaching. He didnât even need to think before he turned around and dropped to his knees. âI greet the Devil Master!â
Yun Che descended from the sky with Qianye Yingâer by his side, and the Three Yama Ancestors were trailing him in the distance.
âYour Magnificence,â Chi Wuyao greeted him with a small but sweet smile. Her soft and cottony voice rang in the air, sending a shudder through the soul of everyone who heard it. Some even felt their bodies go limp upon hearing that bewitching and alluring voice. âTo think that the hasty and impromptu visit you arranged to the south ended up with you trampling over the Southern Sea God Realm and cowing the entire Southern Divine Region into obedience. What a truly delightful surprise youâve given me.â
Yun Cheâs eyes lingered on her for a few seconds and he swallowed the words that he had just been about to say. Instead, he replied in a calm voice, âDidnât you do the exact same thing? You gave me a huge surprise as well.â
Chi Wuyao moved forward, her slim and graceful figure inching toward Yun Che as she said, âThe matter with the Crimson Destruction Dragon God was something I thought of on the fly. It was presumptuous of me to do so. If the Devil Master wants to punish me in front of everyone, I will have no complaints about it.â
Her words sounded as if she was bracing herself for punishment, but her voice was bewitching enough to steal oneâs soul. Cang Shitian, who was standing by the side, suddenly felt his entire body burning up⊠It was as if a raging fire had started burning within him. He swiftly concentrated and calmed his heart as he fiercely bit down on the tip of his tongue. The coppery taste of blood filled his mouth and it was only then that he managed to suppress his wild thoughts and prevent himself from showing any inappropriate expressions.
Even though his entire body was still burning with raging desire, the depths of Cang Shitianâs eyes were actually filled with shock and chagrin.
She truly did live up to her reputation as the Devil Queen who had destroyed the Crimson Destruction Dragon Godâs two hundred thousand year reputation in a single battle. Just a few simple words had affected him in such a dreadful manner.
However, what truly stunned him in this moment was Yun Cheâs reaction.
Cang Shitian was merely a bystander and he had very nearly embarrassed himself, but Yun Che was the direct target of Chi Wuyaoâs âattackâ. Her lips were practically right next to Yun Cheâs ear, and every single one of her words were directly whispered into his soul. However, his expression hardly even changed under this âassaultâ and the only obvious reaction Cang Shitian could observe was Yun Che subtly averting his eyes to dodge Chi Wuyaoâs gaze.
âYouâve always succeeded in whatever you get yourself involved in,â Yun Che said. âThis time was no exception. However, it is better for you not to act in such a rash and presumptuous manner in the future, because⊠there is no need for it.â
Chi Wuyao, ââŠâ
Qianye Yingâerâs eyes narrowed when she heard those words⊠When it came to acting in a ârash and presumptuous mannerâ, there was no one who could compare to Yun Che. But he was the Devil Master, so what could anyone do about it?
However, the words âthere is no need for thatâ were rather stinging. Even though the intention behind those words was to tell Chi Wuyao to stop taking risks, it did nothing to reduce the unintended hurt that it caused.
Yun Che walked forward a few steps to avoid direct contact with Chi Wuyaoâs eyes. âThe sights and sounds that can be found in the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm are singularly beautiful, you should go take a look. In six hours time, I want everyone to go to the main hall, I have something big to announce.â
After he finished speaking, Yun Che simply left.
Something big?
A pensive look appeared on Chi Wuyaoâs face and she remained where she had been standing.
Could it beâŠ
âDid you get hurt?â Qianye Yingâer asked.
âThese petty injuries are nothing to be concerned about,â Chi Wuyao replied casually.
âEven I can tell whether those wounds are minor or not. So do you think that he couldnât?â
Qianye Yingâer stared straight past the black mist to look into Chi Wuyaoâs eyes. âI know far better than you just how strong the Crimson Destruction Dragon God is. Your unique devil soul is indeed something that is unrivaled in this world, but in the end, it is still too weak. Whatâs more, you already split off a thread and planted it in Zhou Xuziâs body. I donât think you even had a ten percent chance of winning in a fight against the Crimson Destruction Dragon God.â
âTaking such risks are not your style.â
âChance of winning, huh.â Those three words elicited a long sigh from Chi Wuyao.
Qianye Yingâer, ââŠ?â
âYun Qianying, do you still remember what I was most worried about when we started this campaign?â Chi Wuyao suddenly asked.
âThe Dragon God Realm,â Qianye Yingâer replied.
Back when they had used revenge against the Eternal Heaven God Realm as a pretext to invade the Eastern Divine Region, the thing they were worried about the most was that the Dragon God Realm would move outside their expectations and forcibly step in to intervene.
This worry was definitely not unwarranted. When the god emperors betrayed Yun Che, the Dragon Monarch had shown an abnormally strong killing intent towards him. This was especially clear during their confrontation outside the Blue Pole Star. His actions toward both Yun Che and Mu Xuanyin were the most cruel and callous he had ever been.
They only found out about the reason for this much later⊠To think that the âDragon Queenâ, who was as spotless and pure as a heavenly lotus, had also ended up sleeping with Yun Che!
As such, even if the Dragon Monarch killed him a million times over, he still might not be able to quench his hatred.
Yet Yun Che had never ever been worried about the Dragon God Realm. His eyes actually gleamed with anticipation practically every time the Dragon God Realm was mentioned, it was as if he couldnât wait to take them on.
It even seemed as if he viewed the Dragon God Realm as less of a threat than the king realms of the Eastern Divine Region and Southern Divine Region.
Both Chi Wuyao and Qianye Yingâer had clearly sensed this strange confidence of his many times over.
âWhy doesnât he fear the Dragon God Realm? I have been ceaselessly thinking about this question for the past few months,â Chi Wuyao said in a slow and measured voice.
The words âthere is no need for thatâ that he just said to Chi Wuyao truly expressed his utter lack of concern about the Dragon God Realm.
âDo you know the answer?â she asked Qianye Yingâer.
âHeâs going to suppress them with his dragon soul?â Qianye Yingâer asked in a doubtful voice.
Chi Wuyao shook her head as a faint smile appeared on her face. âLooks like you donât know either, but it definitely wonât be as simple as that.â
Qianye Yingâer folded her arms below her chest before she replied in a dry voice, âIâve said this many times already. Heâs no longer the Yun Che he was before. Right now, he holds a little of himself back from everyone, no matter who they are, and that includes the little wife he just picked up. Hmph.â
âAlso, when he said âthere is no need for thatâ, it wasnât a deliberate stab at you,â Qianye Yingâer said with a dry chuckle. âFrom the moment he received news that you were facing off against the Crimson Destruction Dragon God alone to the time where the images were broadcast across the Eastern Divine Region, he was constantly in a state of anxiety and impatience.â
âOh really?â The black mist that circled Chi Wuyao grew sluggish and dense, but the corners of the Devil Queenâs lips quirked up slightly. âWhat truly shocked me is that these words actually just came out of your mouth.â
âIâve also been constantly changing,â Qianye Yingâer said as she looked up at the sky. âLetâs continue talking about the âchances of winningâ that you seem so concerned about. For you to take such a gamble, it means that you donât have much confidence in our upcoming battle against the Western Divine Region.â
âYes.â Chi Wuyao didnât deny it. âFrom the moment we stepped out of the Northern Divine Region, the more I thought about the Dragon God Realm and the Western Divine Region it commands, the more worried I grew. During this period, Iâve been able to spy on the core of the Dragon God Realmâs forces and I very quickly came to this conclusion. If we remove the factor that is âYun Cheâ, we have absolutely no chance of winning if we go to war with the Western Divine Region with our current forces.â
ââŠâ Qianye Yingâer didnât display any shock whatsoever at Chi Wuyaoâs conclusion.
âLetâs take my recent duel with the Crimson Destruction Dragon God as an example. Even though he ended up losing in the most pathetic manner, I didnât get off lightly either. Truth be told, the Crimson Destruction Dragon Godâs power far exceeded even my highest estimate. He could actually hurt me this badly while his soul was already being eroded by mine.â
Chi Wuyaoâs expression was somber and her eyes were filled with gloom. She definitely wasnât being self-effacing, and she most definitely wasnât cracking a joke. âI had thought that no matter how strong the Crimson Destruction Dragon God was, he would be no stronger than Yan One. But in reality, he is actually stronger than even him.â
âAfter Jie Xin and Jie Ling underwent the dark baptism of the Eternal Calamity of Darkness, they became strong enough to fight evenly with Yan Tianxiao as long as it was a two on one fight. However, they could barely even scratch the Pure Dragon God despite the fact that she was distracted.â
âThis forces me to have no choice but to reevaluate the strength of the other Dragon Gods.â
Qianye Yingâer replied, âSince youâre so worried, why didnât you tell him that just now? You could even use that to find out why he is so confident in regards to the Dragon God Realm, which would also allay our worries.â
Chi Wuyao smiled and shook her head once more.
âYou should know that Iâm never willing to do something unless I am completely confident in it succeeding. If I were him, I would have chosen to hole up in the Northern Divine Region for at least a thousand years, but he couldnât even wait five.â
âHowever, it is precisely because itâs him that he has the right to be as wilful as he wants to be. Therefore, I wonât object to anything he sets his mind to. Neither am I willing to wheedle an answer out of him if he doesnât want to talk about it. The only thing I need to do is to use my own methods to raise the chances of victory as high as I possibly can.â
âIsnât that the same for you?â
âYouâre right,â Qianye Yingâer said as she looked at her. âThough there are some differences. Whether he is being impulsive or calm, wilful or scheming, whether he wins or loses in the future, lives or dies⊠I do have my worries but I am not apprehensive about the results. Because no matter what happens in the future, I will follow him.â
âEven if I end up being buried in a deep abyss, even if I end up being part of the most rotten part of the God Realmâs history, I still want my name to be written beside his.â
âYouâre different. You shoulder the fate of the entire Northern Divine Region. Therefore you need to consider far more than I do.â
Chi Wuyao turned her delicate head toward Qianye Yingâer and she quietly observed her for a long time. When she finally spoke, her voice was filled with implied meaning as she said, âYun Qianying. To think that the Brahma Monarch Goddess who would stop at nothing to pursue her own interests would actually become someone who is fully content to be subordinated to a man. This is probably the most shocking âmiracleâ in the Eastern Divine Region.â
âSubordinated? I wouldnât even get angry if someone were to call me his toy or slave right now. I might even feel a strange sort of satisfaction.â
Qianye Yingâerâs eyes grew hooded as she spoke in what sounded like a very self-deprecating voice, âDo you think that I was always this cheap by nature? Or do you think that heâs secretly planted some sort of devilish curse on me?â
Chi Wuyao gave a soft sigh. âIsnât this also a sort of fortune and happiness? In fact⊠itâs the most extravagant sort of happiness, isnât it?â
ââŠIn the end, we should just trust him,â Qianye Yingâer replied. âGiven his strong thirst for vengeance, he wouldnât have taken a step out of the Northern Divine Region if he didnât have sufficient confidence in his plan. Iâm actually more eager to see what will happen next than I am worried. When he faces off against the Dragon Monarch and the Western Divine Region, what sort of card will he play then?â
It was at this moment that a gloomy and oppressive might fell from the skies, immediately causing both women to look to the side.
Caizhiâs figure slowly descended from the sky. Even when she stood next to other women like Qianye Yingâer and Chi Wuyao, she still seemed exceptionally small and delicate.
Her dress was still the color of a rainbow, a symbol of some past nostalgia she simply wasnât willing to let go of. Only the belt she wore and the tassels of her dress had been changed to black. Furthermore, her face was still as flawless and milky-white as it had been since Yun Che first met her.
In the past, she had always looked like an exquisitely-carved doll. Now, this âdollâ radiated a murky and dangerous aura, and had unconsciously acquired a strange and bewitching charm.
âYou got hurt?â Caizhi asked with some worry in her voice as she looked her Chi Wuyao,
âItâs just some minor injuries. Nothing that anyone needs to be concerned about,â Chi Wuyao said as she exhaled softly. Even little Caizhi had been able to tell how badly injured she was with a single glance. It seemed like she had truly suffered some spectacular damage to her vital energy this time.
âOh?â Qianye Yingâerâs eyes flitted between the two as a look of faint surprise appeared on her face. âThe two of you should be meeting for the first time, right? Why does it seem like youâre so familiar with each other?â
âGet lost!â Caizhi barked out coldly as she bared her naked killing intent at Qianye Yingâer.
Chi Wuyao quietly took a step backwards, as if this matter didnât involve her at all.
âSigh, my dear little Heavenly Wolf.â This time, Qianye Yingâer didnât immediately leave. Instead she let out a sad sigh and a helpless look appeared on her snowy mien. Of course, she still looked as arrestingly beautiful as she always did as she feigned sadness and said, âYou should already have eavesdropped on the conversation between the Devil Queen and I, so you should know that I will stick to Yun Che, in both life and death. Even he can forget about chasing me away, much less you.â
âHow about we try to get along instead?â Her golden eyes turned toward Caizhi and ripples could be seen in them. âOn account of the fact that youâre his lawfully-wedded wife, Iâd be willing to take compromise on many things as long as youâre willing to try for peace. I might not even mind⊠if you asked me to call you âbig sisterâ.â
âDream on!â Caizhiâs eyes blazed with hate and malice as she straightforwardly rejected the strange words that Qianye Yingâer had just uttered. âYou led my aunt and big brother to their deaths and nearly killed my sister! I will never ever forgive you! Once we have defeated the Dragon God Realm and you no longer of any use to him, I will be waiting with the executionerâs blade!â
âOh my, thereâs no need to be so cruel, is there?â Qianye Yingâerâs voice turned soft and cottony, something that rarely happened, as she feigned frailty and replied, âHeavenly Wolf Xisu died for me willingly, and he died a satisfied man. Youâre well aware of that.â
âAs for the Heavenly Slaughter Star God, even though I did use Nan Wansheng to force her into the corner, I didnât manage to succeed in the end. I actually helped her meet Yun Che, and that was how you ended up with your current husband, you know.â
âSince thatâs the case, shouldnât you be thanking me?â Qianye Yingâer said as she languidly coiled a strand of golden hair around her finger. After that, she softly muttered to herself, âHe was hooking the big sister even while he secretly ate up the little sister. He really was a depraved beast even before he turned into a devil.â
âYouâŠâ Qianye Yingâerâs strange words had caused Caizhiâs killing intent to waver.
âYour aunt died because of Yue Wuyaâs stupidity and Xing Juekongâs heartlessness. Heavenly Wolf Xisu died for me all too willingly. The Heavenly Slaughter Star God died at Zhou Xuziâs hands. You should hate me, but that hatred shouldnât be the sort of hatred that can only be resolved with my death.â
âIf you truly arenât able to set aside your hatredâŠâ Qianye Yingâer sighed as if in deep sorrow. She clasped her slender fingers to her fantastically beautiful bosom and said, âthen Iâll just stand there and let you beat me up one time. How about that?â
ââŠâ Caizhiâs starry eyes started to narrow, the stars in her eyes starting to glitter with a dangerous glow. âAre you sure about that?â
âOf course⊠itâs a joke!â
Whoosh!
A storm swirled in Qianye Yingâerâs wake while she appeared several kilometers away. Her voice sounded exceptionally carefree as it rang out through the air, âLittle wolf, if this body ends up being battered and bruised, the one whose heart will hurt the most is your beloved husband. After all, Iâm the most perfect toy in the world to him, something that a bratty little kid who canât grow up can never replace! Heeheehee!â
RUMBLE!!!
Devilish energy and killing intent erupted from Caizhiâs body at the same time and the ground around her instantly cracked and broke apart. Just as she was about to take the skies, Chi Wuyao grabbed her hand and gently restrained her.
âYou canât actually do anything to her, so why bother chasing?â Chi Wuyao smiled as she shook her head. If it came to a war of words, even ten Caizhis wouldnât be Qianye Yingâerâs opponent.
Caizhiâs small chest heaved violently for a few moments, but she didnât end up chasing after Qianye Yingâer after all.
It took a long while before she finally calmed down. After that her head swiveled towards Chi Wuyao as she began staring at her.
Her skin resembled both snow and ice and it was lustrous and pure white. The black âmistâ that shrouded her body was composed of the highest grade of devilish energy in the current universe, yet it actually seemed a little less black due to the glow of her dewy skin.
Furthermore, her figure was made up of exquisite curves that Caizhi simply couldnât find the words to describe and she was possessed of a devilishly alluring charm which seized oneâs soul. She didnât even need to deliberately tease someone to instantly set their desires ablaze. In fact, she didnât even need to use her eyes or that devilish voice of hers to completely burn up a personâs rationality.
Whether they were men or women.
ââŠâ Caizhi immediately swiveled her head away from it and her chest started heaving again, despite the fact that she just managed to calm herself down with much difficulty.
âHmmm?â Chi Wuyao blinked as she admired the red clouds that were slowly forming over the young girlâs snowy face and neck.
âDevil Queen, Iâm going to ask you one question, and you have to answer me, no matter what,â Caizhi said as she stared at Chi Wuyao with a serious expression on her face. Even her voice had turned serious and sincere.
âFine,â Chi Wuyao said with a faint smile, âask away.â
Caizhiâs lips opened but no words came from her mouth. Her face soon started burning up⊠to the point where her blush had started spreading from her face to the rest of her body.
She hurriedly turned her face to the side and quietly bit down on her lower lip. After that, the young girl whispered to Chi Wuyao in the softest and most sincere voice possible, âHow can⊠How can I⊠become like you?â
She said the last half of her sentence in an incredibly quick manner. After she finished speaking, she bit down on her tender lower lip yet again, and she refused to look Chi Wuyao in the eye.
ââŠâ After a short pause, silvery laughter erupted from Chi Wuyaoâs lips as she walked forward and whispered something into Caizhiâs ears. âThis is something you should actually ask him. Heâs the real expert.â
â~ïŒ@#ïż„%âŠâ Caizhiâs body, which was as tense as a coiled spring, shuddered for a few moments, before she suddenly turned around and spat, âAll of the women of your kind⊠are so incredibly petty! Hmph!â
As she stared at her fleeing back, an unwitting smile appeared on Chi Wuyaoâs face. She muttered to herself softly in a rather sheepish manner, âAll of you? Actually, the last time you asked that question, I was the one you asked as well.â
ââââ
In the distant skies high above the center of the Deep Sea Divine Region.
Tian Guhu had run over at the fastest speed possible and the moment Yun Cheâs figure entered his vision, he knelt down and asked in an anxious voice, âTian Guhu greets Your Magnificence. I await your command.â
âTell this to all the higher and middle realm kings.â Yun Cheâs eyes contained a gloominess that it didnât have before. âEveryone is to assemble at the Deep Sea Royal Hall within the next six hours. I have something big to announce.â
Tian Guhuâs body shook violently before he cried out in a trembling voice, âTian Guhu hears and obeys! I will depart now!â
