Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After eating for a good one hour, Jiang Yi finally asked two guards to clear away the dishes. Princess Qing Yu was so furious that her eyes were going to emit fire.
In the middle of the night, she just took so ‘exercise’ and consud a lot of energy. She might not feel hungry if she never saw the food. Now, she was forced to watch Jiang Yi indulging in eating and drinking. Naturally, she got hungry, but how could she have the cheek to leave now?
Grievance!
When Princess Qing Yu was with Jiang Yi, she felt being suppressed by him and unusually aggrieved. There was no outlet for her rage, which was the worst thing ever.
Imdiately after Jiang Yi finished eating, she shouted impatiently, “Thief, can you speak now? If you don’t beco honest, the food you had just now will be your last al.”
“Huh!”
Jiang Yi burped and showed a big, warm smile. He looked at Princess Qing Yu and said, “Qing Yu, you’re a girl; don’t be so fierce. You are so pretty and have such an elegant bearing, but you may not be able to find a husband if you continue to be so fierce.”
Bah!
Qing Yu was both embarrassed and infuriated, she was about to lose her temper. Jiang Yi hurried into coughing softly and said righteously, “Alright, let’s discuss the important matter now. Qing Yu, let be honest with you. I just returned from the Desolate East Sea and found so information there. Qing Yu...”
“Wait!”
Princess Qing Yu scread, flustered and exasperated. She clenched her teeth and said, “Address as Princess. How dare you call Qing Yu! I’m going to...”
Jiang Yi nodded obediently and replied in a caring voice, “Alright, alright! Don’t be angry, it’s not good for your liver and your health. I’ll call you Princess, okay?”
Princess Qing Yu started to shake and stopped talking. She was afraid that she might lose control and finish Jiang Yi. She had a feeling—if she spent too much ti with him, she would eventually go mad.
Jiang Yi’s face turned grave again. He knew when to stop, and he wasn’t teasing Qing Yu randomly. Actually, every sentence and every move were carefully thought over. He had run through them a few tis in his mind before saying them out loud or behaving them.
He was taking small steps in order to make this Princess Qing Yu so angry and vexed that she would lose her mind and could no longer make rational judgnt.
He couldn’t move his body or use any magical skills. He had to rely on his mouth and his brain!
He paused before speaking again, “Princess Qing Yu, when I was sauntering in the Desolate East Sea, I found sothing very peculiar. A great number of sea demons gathered; there were at least three demon thearchs and thousands of demon kings. Their leader was called the Lion Chi Demon Thearch! Is there enmity between the Phoenix Cry Continent and the sea demons in the Desolate East Sea? It seems like they are going to drench your continent in a bloodbath!”
“Uh...”
Princess Qing Yu lifted her pretty eyes, and she looked solemn. Jiang Yi sounded both true and fallacious, but he ntioned the Lion Chi Demon Thearch, which made her half-believe his words. Princess Qing Yu’s heart fell to the bottom.
That’s right!
There was indeed a feud between her continent and the sea demons. However, not all the demon races in the Desolate East Sea were their enemies—just one of the races.
The story dated back to tens of thousands of years ago when the Phoenix Cry Continent was invaded by a foreign race, which was a special race among the sea demons—the rman Race!
The rman Race could both live in the sea and above the ground. Though the Desolate East Sea was big, almost every region was occupied by one race. The sea demons often fought for habitats inside the region.
The rman Race procreated very fast. As their population grew, naturally, they wanted to expand their territory. The entire Desolate East Sea was divided up by demon thearchs. If they wanted to encroach others’ territory, they had to fight with other demon races.
It happened that a Princess of the Phoenix Cry Continent killed a group of rn in the Desolate East Sea tens of thousands of years ago. A rman Race Prince was among those who were killed so the rman Race was incensed. They hunted this princess all the way to the Phoenix Cry Continent.
The war after this occurred logically. The rman Race wanted to expand, and they were amphibious. They were going to annex the Phoenix Cry Continent.
That war went on for years. The population of the Phoenix Cry Continent was reduced sharply by two-thirds, and the rman Race’s strength was greatly sapped, too.
After the war, won beca the ruler; and the rman Race returned to the sea to recuperate. However, the animosity started from there. Every one hundred years—when the rman Race recovered so strength, they would send troops to attack the Phoenix Cry Continent. Their goal of dominating the continent never faded away. As they kept on with the attack, they were draining the power of the continent as well.
It had been 103 years since the rman Race’s last attack. The continent had been preparing for the attack by the rman Race. The top scouts of the continent indeed recently detected so commotions on the East Sea.
However...!
Jiang Yi said that there were three demon thearchs and hundreds of demon kings? He also specifically ntioned the Lion Chi Demon Thearch? All these had scared Princess Qing Yu. If it was true, the Phoenix Cry Continent would be wiped out from the world!
“This isn’t right!”
After contemplating for a while, she was swiftly surprised and said in a deep voice, “The demon races in the Desolate East Sea have always been unfriendly towards one another. How can the rest of the demon races join forces with the rman Race to attack us? Are you lying to ?”
“What will I get if I lie to you? Will you release because I lied to you?”
Jiang Yi laughed and said, “I once killed a demon king near the west sea. It told that the Lion Chi Demon Thearch was in the vicinity, and so were their army—and the rman Race had been recruiting soldiers—at its dying mont. If I dared to kill it, the Lion Chi Demon Thearch would never let pass. So I ca to your continent out of fear.”
Princess Qing Yu was almost driven mad by Jiang Yi just now. At that mont, she was startled. After a stupor, she even asked her in confusion, “You’ve seen the rman Race?”
Jiang Yi rode on the ancient coffin across the East Sea; how could he see the rman Race? It was ntioned by Princess Qing Yu just now, and he just used it conveniently.
Looking at the muddled Princess Qing Yu, Jiang Yi secretly laughed at her in his mind. However, he appeared serious and said, “Qing Yu, why are you still talking rubbish right now? Don’t stare blankly at , and quickly think of so solutions. You should imdiately tell the Thearch; otherwise, all the people on the Phoenix Cry Continent will be annihilated.”
“En!”
Princess Qing Yu nodded solemnly, turned around, and walked outside. She realized sothing only after walking two steps.
Her expression suddenly beca very fascinating. Her face was green, white, and red at the sa ti. Her round eyes stared at Jiang Yi, and she felt a constant tremble deep down her soul. What kind of demonic tricks did this spy use? Why did she unknowingly follow his order just now? Why did she have infinite faith in his words?
This man is too dangerous! No, I have to kill him imdiately.
An idea flashed by Qing Yu’s mind. All of a sudden, she was a bit afraid of Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s faintly smiling face was akin to a devil covered under human skin.
Swish! Swish!
Just when Qing Yu was about to strike, a sound of breaking air suddenly ca from the outside. Soon, a shout followed: “Where’s the Princess? Sothing is wrong! The rman Race and the rest of the demon races gang up on the continent. They have taken down 13 cities successively. A Lion Chi Demon Thearch cos as well, and he razed the Peach City to the ground with one strike!”
Swish!
Princess Qing Yu changed her expression and no longer worried about Jiang Yi. She turned into a faint image and rushed outside.
“The Lion Chi Demon Thearch is really coming?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes shrank. Did he really guess correctly? The Lion Chi Demon Thearch was really attacking the continent with the rman Race?! Was he taking out on the Phoenix Cry Continent because his son was killed?
“An excellent opportunity!”
Jiang Yi pondered for a while before his eyes lit up. The Lion Chi Demon Thearch attacking the Phoenix Cry Continent was tragic for the Phoenix Cry Continent, but it was excellent timing for him to escape.
