Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 362: Chapter 191: The Demon Lord Battles the Demon Lord! The War of Imperial Arms, the Shattering of the Galaxy! The Resigned Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing!_5

Under the rule of the Six Great Sacred Lands, Qianyuan Divine Province maintained its power structure and would never allow a new Sacred Land to rise. Such an emergence would significantly impact the power dynamics of Qianyuan Divine Province, profoundly affecting the interests of the Six Great Sacred Lands.

“Xue Yueqing, do you really want to be his Dao companion?”

As Demon Empress Xue Yueqing’s mind wandered with wild thoughts, Yue Ji suddenly asked.

Just now, she had been inside the Heavenly Moon Wheel, which Han Li had been toying with in his hands, and Yue Ji clearly heard what Han Li had said to Xue Yueqing.

Behind the thin veil, Xue Yueqing’s stunningly alluring face showed a struggle.

The man who had just summoned the power of three Tongxuan Realm experts and three top-tier Sacred Soldiers, and even imperial weapons, was very likely the sovereign of this superpower, suspected to be a Saint of the Sacred Abyss Realm.

As the sovereign of a Sacred Land, an invincible being suspected to be a Saint, she was somewhat flattered to think that he had captured her just to make her his Dao companion.

She thought that if the man had plainly proposed to her, she might have very likely accepted, considering he was the master of a superpower and possibly a Saint of the Sacred Abyss Realm.

However, she had ultimately been captured, which left a knot in the heart of Demon Empress Xue Yueqing, as they had never met before and she had never even heard of him, with no foundation of feelings whatsoever.

“Well, let’s see how it goes,”

Xue Yueqing sighed heavily and spoke helplessly.

She wanted to refuse but knew she had no room to do so; rejection could mean facing an abyssal downfall.

Now, the master of this superpower still spoke to her kindly and had not forced anything. If she rejected him, she would leave herself no room at all.

Xue Yueqing knew that he would not let them go; otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed them to blatantly see his power base.

“Oh~”

Yue Ji opened her mouth, seeming to have something to say but then hesitating.

Frowning slightly, Xue Yueqing candidly asked, “Yue Ji, is there something you want to say?”

“Xue Yueqing, why do I feel that this man also has a bit of interest in me? It must be my imagination, probably just a misperception,”

Yue Ji’s small hands nervously clutched at the hem of her dress, her face instantly blushing as she felt extremely shy.

Uttering such thoughts made her feel ashamed—after all, she was an Artifact Spirit, how could he possibly be interested in her…

And yet, she seemed to have genuinely felt this before, as he endlessly toyed with her true form, shifting through countless positions.

Blinking, Xue Yueqing was startled by Yue Ji’s words and cautiously asked, “Yue Ji, are you sure you’re not sensing it wrong?”

In her heart, she believed Yue Ji was mistaken; how could a master of a superpower, suspected to be a Saint of the Sacred Abyss Realm, harbor such thoughts for an Artifact Spirit?

“It must be my misperception.”

Yue Ji lowered her head in shame, regretting having mentioned it to Xue Yueqing.

“I…”

Just as Xue Yueqing was about to say something, a familiar voice echoed in her ear.

“Lady Xue Yueqing.”

Xue Yueqing abruptly turned around and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared behind her, a mix of shock and bewilderment crossing her eyes before turning into realization; she seemed to understand something.

She understood why Bai Keqing had not returned to Myriad Demon Mountain in the Demon Domain for so long, why her life lamp was not only undiminished but had grown stronger; she understood why Bai Keqing could be here, and why she herself had been captured and brought to this place; she understood…

“Keqing, why are you here?”

Though Xue Yueqing had guessed the answer, she still asked, seeking confirmation from Bai Keqing herself.

“My lord came as I did,” Bai Keqing said with a bitter smile.

When her husband had arrived at her chamber just now, she thought he was there to seek dual cultivation with her. But then he informed her that he had captured Demon Empress Xue Yueqing.

Though Bai Keqing had anticipated it, she was still shocked by how quick her husband’s actions had been.

Soon, she realized the purpose of her husband’s visit to her chamber—to have her go to the summit of Chengdao Peak later and persuade Xue Yueqing to accept her fate and peacefully become her husband’s Dao companion.

Naturally, Bai Keqing had no objections. With Empress Xue Yueqing present, they would simply have one more sister. It was someone she already knew, and in the future, they could stand together against her husband’s conquests.

“As expected.”

Demon Empress Xue Yueqing exhaled, instantly understanding the purpose of Bai Keqing’s presence.

The Ye Fan who had rescued Bai Keqing from the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm years ago was a member of this superpower, and after bringing back Bai Keqing, she likely became his Dao companion as well.

At the time, she had been puzzled: how had a peak True Martial Realm expert suddenly appeared in Qianyuan Divine Province with no traceable origin?

Previously, when she came to the Xuan Domain to trace Bai Keqing’s whereabouts without success—her senses blocked—it seemed logical now that Bai Keqing had been in this mountain range all along, protected by a grand array at the level of the Sacred Abyss Realm and numerous Sacred Soldiers and imperial weapons. It was only normal for her to be undetectable.

If Bai Keqing had become that man’s Dao companion, and he also wished for her to do the same, Bai Keqing’s arrival must have this purpose.

“Are you well here?”

“Has he promised you anything? Has it been fulfilled?”

Demon Empress Xue Yueqing sighed asking these questions.

Although she had reached a decision in her heart, she still wanted to learn more.
