Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 599 A Bunch of Misfits
Gazing at the towering statue in the Ancient City, a testament to her once peerless elegance, Guang Xiaoyu couldn’t help but lift her head high, her eyes brimming with pride.
The Demon Emperor of the past was about to return.
"Li Qi, kid, you’ve followed me into the Western Wilderness and then the Southern Region; surely you must be full of doubts?" she asked, looking askance at him. "That’s right, I am..."
"No," Li Qi said, somewhat anxious.
Guang Xiaoyu glared at him. "???"
Ever since she had set foot in the Western Wilderness, she had been waiting for such an opportunity.
The Demon Emperor was to make a stunning reappearance. Yes, she had been waiting! But there seemed to be no opportunity in the Western Wilderness; those once formidable enemies had either left or were in seclusion. Later, Chen Pingping forged a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, causing shockwaves across several regions. Yet the Demon cultivators in the Western Wilderness remained as calm as still water, with only a few young people wandering around. Then they entered the Demon Race battlefield. Regrettably, Zi Ji had already taken care of everything by then, slaying tens of thousands of Demon Race elites, leaving behind only a wasteland of ruins and desolation.
Of course, she wasn’t discouraged by this; instead, she became even more exhilarated. Because she knew that a tremendous opportunity was quietly approaching. Upon the Demon Emperor’s resurrection, hundreds of thousands, or even over a million troops, would come to slaughter. With such a terrifying array, her own senior brother naturally wouldn’t be able to withstand it. He would surely become panicked and anxious on the battlefield. What should she do then? Everyone would fall into despair. Even after her senior brother gave his all, he couldn’t stop the Demon Emperor’s slaughter. Just as he stood amid the slaughter, with mountains of corpses at his feet and rivers of blood flowing, his face filled with despair, a woman of breathtaking beauty would descend from the sky... That’s right! That woman was her.
She would be as calm as still water, unhurried and composed, looking down from a great distance at the Demon Emperor, "You dare to touch the man of this Emperor?"
Then, at her command, the Demon Emperor Clan would burst out from the flank, Wuxian holding an incense stick and slowly lighting it... With absolutely overwhelming strength, she would crush the Demon Race army, mercilessly slay the Demon Emperor, and fully demonstrate the grandeur of the Demon Emperor.
Everyone would be astounded. Her senior brother would be the same, "My God! Xiaoyu, you... you are actually the legendary Demon Emperor?"
"Xiaoyu, you’re so powerful."
"Wow wow wow, Xiaoyu... AH AH AH! I love you!"
Her senior brother would witness her strength and peerless elegance. His heart would be overwhelmingly shaken, and he would thus be subdued. From then on... he couldn’t help but fall in love with her, hopelessly infatuated, unable to part. After that, the two of them would return to the Wuji Sect and live a happy and satisfying life. Yes! Just like that. Have a girl first, then a boy, and then? If her senior brother was willing, it would be okay to have a few more.
As she thought, tears unconsciously trickled down the corners of Guang Xiaoyu’s mouth.
Li Qi was stunned.
It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she looked coldly at Li Qi.
"I was wrong," Li Qi apologized.
"Wrong about what?"
"I have many doubts, a bellyful of them. Please enlighten me, Xiao Yu," Li Qi said, his face serious.
HEHE!
Guang Xiaoyu blinked. "Are you sure?"
Li Qi nodded. "Yes!"
"That’s right. Actually, your Xiao Yu is a reincarnated Emperor Realm powerhouse. My true identity is the Demon Emperor from the land of the Western Wilderness..." she declared, holding her head high.
"Wow? Xiao Yu, you... you really are the legendary Demon Emperor?" Li Qi pretended to be shocked, though he had already figured it out. He had been shocked for a long time when he first suspected. Now, he truly couldn’t express genuine surprise, so he had to feign it a little; otherwise... the consequences would be severe.
Guang Xiaoyu enjoyed his expression and said, "Keep it low-key, low-key. I once was an invincible being, the powerful Demon Emperor, but now I am just Guang Xiaoyu, got it?"
"Got it!"
"Understand?"
"Completely understand!"
"So? You know what to say when you see your senior brother, right?"
"..."
Li Qi felt like crying.
The two younger martial aunts from Qingfeng’s lineage were capricious, prone to mood swings, and their way of thinking was quite abnormal. Martial Aunt Zi Ji was one, and the current Xiao Yu was no different. At this moment, he was very anxious because he really couldn’t grasp what Xiao Yu was thinking. How should he answer? No! It should be, what kind of answer does she want?
"I should?" he ventured.
"Of course, you mustn’t reveal my identity!" Guang Xiaoyu glared at him. "Before I kill the Demon Emperor, you mustn’t expose it, otherwise it won’t have the intended effect!"
"Understood!" Li Qi replied earnestly. "Xiao Yu intends to make a stunning comeback, slaying the Demon Emperor and sweeping away the Demon Race army, striking awe in everyone, including my senior brother... oops, sorry."
He quickly realized he had said too much. He obediently walked to one side, bowing his head, lowering his eyelids, and said no more.
Useless! Guang Xiaoyu looked at him with an expression that screamed, ’Why can’t you be more promising?’ then turned to the aged Clan Leader. "My current strength is much less than before, so... the heavy responsibility of slaying the Demon Emperor and sweeping away the Northern Border army falls on your Demon Emperor Clan. Of course, although my strength isn’t what it used to be, I... still have some tricks up my sleeve."
The Clan Leader was shocked. He had been listening for a while and gradually felt a sense of foreboding. But hearing it directly from Guang Xiaoyu made his heart instantly go cold.
The Demon Emperor was no longer the Demon Emperor. She no longer had the strength of the Emperor Realm. What was more terrifying was that the Demon Emperor Clan was no longer what it used to be. Through the long years, their bloodline had dried up, gradually becoming diluted. Moreover, the environment here was too poor, leading to the gradual decline of their Tao. Nowadays, of the thousands of people in the Ancient City, only about twenty percent still carried the blood of the Demon Emperor. As for the bloodline of the imperial family, only Wuxian remained. With such strength, the difference from the past was night and day. If they really had to rely on them to face the Northern Border army and slay the Demon Emperor, wouldn’t that be like lighting a lamp in the latrine—courting death?
He was a bit panicked. But seeing Guang Xiaoyu’s excited demeanor, full of anticipation, he didn’t know how to break the news for the moment.
About an hour later, the remaining clan members gradually returned. When they learned of the arrival of the great Lord Demon Emperor, they were thrilled, their faces flushed with excitement. They gathered around the statue, eagerly sizing up Guang Xiaoyu.
Not quite the same. Lacking that peerless elegance and appearance. Even the strength... seemed off. Is this really the Lord Demon Emperor? Why does she feel like a naive little girl? And what’s more? Why is the Lord Demon Emperor always grinning foolishly?
Li Qi tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Xiao Yu, be mindful of your image!"
COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!
Guang Xiaoyu turned her head and squinted to scrutinize the Demon Emperor Clan members before her, then frowned. Just as she was about to speak, the Clan Leader interjected sheepishly, "Everyone is here."
Guang Xiaoyu: "???"
"There’s really no one else, all are present, Lord Demon Emperor."
She stared with wide eyes, disbelieving.
If her senses were not wrong, there were just over a thousand people here. Half of them were elderly, weak, or sick. Of the remaining five hundred or so, three hundred did not possess the Demon Emperor bloodline. Only two hundred remained. What was terrifying was that, on average, their strength was around the third or fourth tier, equivalent to the Human Clan’s Destiny and Supreme Mystery Realms. Oh! And there were a few at the King Tao Realm.
She was petrified. Her thoughts were a jumble, as if in a dream. The once dominating Demon Emperor Tribe of the Northern Border had fallen to such a degree? Not even a single Demon Saint was among them? It must be a misconception! Definitely a misconception. She had thought that after such a long time, this lineage would have developed. If not to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, there would at least be a hundred or so at the Great Saint Realm, right? Little did she know, there wasn’t even an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator. A group of ragtag cultivators. To have them face the Northern Border army, to slay the Demon Emperor?
Guang Xiaoyu’s face turned ashen.
