"Three hundred years old?" Lanling asked in confusion, "Is that a lifespan or a rule?"
"Of course it’s a rule. I think a life of extre wealth and glory, three hundred years is enough." Fu Lingxi said with a smile.
This smile of hers was quite interesting, so complex it defied explanation, as if it was flattering, yet also carried a hint of mockery.
Lanling said, "Then can you tell who the internal spy lurking around from the Dragon Temple really is?"
Fu Lingxi glanced at Lanling and said, "Your Majesty, this spy has already completed their mission. If I could gain your favor by revealing them, I would gladly do so. But you think too highly of . There are probably no more than two people in the entire Dragon Temple who know this spy’s identity, maybe even just one!"
Lanling believed this. In "Lurk," only Director Ke and Zhou Gong knew about Yu Zecheng’s identity, and the spy near Lanling was of far higher status.
And this spy’s achievents were also very high; they were sent to turn the highest leader of the enemy.
Lanling laughed, "If I inherit the Dragon Emperor’s position, I might never be able to take a hundred steps beyond the Ten Thousand Mountains again, and my family in the Demon Race might never be able to approach again."
Fu Lingxi said, "That is certain, but in the Human Kingdom, you have more won and more family, don’t you?"
Lanling chuckled lightly, not answering, only staring at Fu Lingxi’s face.
In this world, if you rank those he hated the most, Fu Lingxi would definitely be at the top, even first or second.
Just one glance, and Fu Lingxi felt incredibly dangerous; she knew very well the hatred the Demon Emperor had for her.
Suddenly, Fu Lingxi said with a smile, "By the way, Your Majesty, your daughter’s talent is truly extrely high. Even though she’s only fourteen, she’s already showing astonishing wisdom. Her ntor even wants to recomnd her as a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Sky Holy Palace. What do you think?"
Candidate for Holy Maiden? To use drugs and ntal Skill to sever a person’s emotions and desires is truly the most cruel act in this world.
No doubt, this was a threat, and an extrely subtle one.
If Lanling detained Fu Lingxi, his daughter Qin Qin would beco a candidate for Holy Maiden, stripped of her emotions and desires, and in the future, might not recognize her own family.
"Better not, my daughter doesn’t need to beco a Holy Maiden." Lanling said.
Fu Lingxi smiled, "I thought the sa. Before I ca, soone asked for my opinion, and I said Your Majesty probably wouldn’t want that. After I return, I will fully convey Your Majesty’s will."
Then, Fu Lingxi said, "So, regarding the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance, what does Your Majesty decide?"
Lanling said, "I need to think about it and will inform you once I decide, how about that?"
"Okay." Fu Lingxi said, "But Your Majesty, please make it soon. After all, ti is pressing; even if you don’t absorb any energy, even if your cultivation doesn’t improve, in at most two years, the Black Hole Vortex inside you will swallow everything."
"Thank you for the advice, no need to send off!" Lanling said.
"I wouldn’t dare..." Fu Lingxi bowed and then retreated!
Lanling watched Fu Lingxi’s departing figure and sighed inwardly.
How he longed to keep this woman, tornting her so she wished for death, then strip her skin and feed it to the wild dogs.
But, he couldn’t do that.
The threat from the Dragon Temple to Qin Qin was one thing, but more importantly because of Suo Ningbing. Because each generation must have a pretender, if Fu Lingxi was killed, then the task of the pretender would fall on Suo Ningbing, and Lanling absolutely didn’t want Suo Ningbing to beco like Fu Lingxi.
Fu Lingxi’s figure completely disappeared from sight, and at this mont, Princess Sha Yan rushed in, looking at Lanling with excitent and envy, "Husband, it’s twins, a boy and a girl, one with wings on the back, one without!"
Lanling walked towards the cave.
At this ti, a group of won were marveling at the two newborn babies.
One boy and one girl, each weighing six pounds, it’s a wonder Ji Xiuning’s belly could hold two six-pound babies.
The girl’s back had lovely transparent wings, her neck adorned with golden magic patterns, clearly a Demon Clan lineage.
The boy looked completely like a human child, but his pupils were unlike anyone else’s, almost identical to Lanling’s dragon pupils.
Both children were very beautiful, the boy resembling Ji Xiuning, and the girl Lanling.
Lanling carefully held the two babies in his arms, and the mont he touched them, his body’s energy suddenly trembled.
This was the energy resonance brought by the boy, and Lanling sniffed lightly, this boy turned out to be a pure Dragon Bloodline, with an incredibly high bloodline talent.
Held in Lanling’s arms, the girl almost slept soundly, while the boy lazily opened his eyes, glanced at Lanling, then yawned and lazily closed them again.
"Husband, give our two babies nas." Sha Yan said.
Lanling looked at the Dragon Bloodline boy and said, "Let’s na him Lan Que, and the girl Lan Zhu!"
...
Far away from Fla Demon City, Fu Lingxi entered a secret energy array of the Dragon Temple, panting heavily, her face pale, covered in cold sweat.
Even though Lanling did not openly threaten, it truly is a survival after a disaster. She almost didn’t make it back.
After quite a while, Fu Lingxi finally recovered, then ca to a Crystal Energy Array and projected a ntal image to the Sky Holy Palace, in front of Ning Wuya.
"How is it?" Ning Wuya asked.
Fu Lingxi said, "He said he’ll consider it..."
Ning Wuya said, "That’s the worst answer, worse than an outright refusal."
An outright refusal might still be an attempt to bargain, but saying he’ll consider it, that’s absolutely impossible, not even willing to negotiate terms.
Fu Lingxi said, "Master, Lanling is soone who is unafraid of death. So if you want him to inherit the Dragon Emperor, you must first make him have nothing. After the destruction of the Fla Demon Empire, when Di Nie, the Witch Queen, Ashi Liren, and all his children in the Demon Race are all dead, and he has no way out, he might choose to beco the Dragon Emperor."
Ning Wuya said, "Go on."
Fu Lingxi said, "Push him to the brink, make him have nothing. Right now, his hatred for , for the Dragon Temple, surpasses everything. Because we have killed him, we massacred the entire Tianshui City, we captured his family. We killed Yan Yan, killed Turing Si. So he is determined to seek revenge."
Ning Wuya said, "Go on."
Fu Lingxi said, "There are two ways to eliminate a deep-seated hatred. The first is to seek revenge and satisfy his resentnt, which of course is impossible. The second way is to let a greater hatred overshadow the previous one. His hatred for us cos from us imprisoning his wife and children, killing one of his fathers-in-law, one of his mothers-in-law, right? Then let’s have soone kill all his wives and children in the Demon Territory. Didn’t we massacre over a hundred thousand in Tianshui City? Then let’s have soone slaughter his entire Fla Demon Empire. Once that’s done, how could he still care about our minor grievances? He would undoubtedly want to beco strong with all his might, to seek revenge, and kill his new enemies."
Ning Wuya said, "The person you’re talking about is Emperor Moda?"
Fu Lingxi said, "There is no one wiser than you, Master. As long as Emperor Moda destroys the Fla Demon Empire and kills Lanling’s wives and children, then with no way out, Lanling will have no choice but to inherit the Dragon Emperor and then annihilate the Motuo Empire for revenge."
Ning Wuya smiled slightly and said, "But are you aware that Emperor Moda dreams day and night of invading the Southern Barbaric Lands and of destroying Lanling so he can beco the sole emperor of the Demon Race? In so ways, Emperor Moda is as dangerous as Lanling, perhaps even more so."
Fu Lingxi said, "Once Lanling becos the Dragon Emperor, he can just eliminate Emperor Moda, extinguishing our new mortal enemy. At that ti, weren’t we supporting Emperor Moda precisely for today? To use a borrowed knife to kill, to use the Demon Clan People to eliminate the Demon Emperor? Those old guys locked in the Heaven Tomb, if not absolutely necessary, who would want to wake them up? They’re all highly seasoned, and once they’re awakened, they’ll live for at least another dozen years. Who would want a bunch of retired emperors sitting over our heads..."
"Quiet!" Demon Star Pavilion Master Ning Wuya shouted harshly, "Did you say that?"
With a pouting smile, Fu Lingxi said, "I understand, so things can be done but not said."
Demon Star Pavilion Master Ning Wuya glared at her viciously and said, "Alright, now go north to the Motuo Empire."
Fu Lingxi said, "Yes!"
...
Fla Demon City!
Di Nie said, "Husband, what do you plan to do next?"
Lanling said, "Break through to the Heavenly Demon King as quickly as possible, then search for the Demon Emperor’s legacy!"
Di Nie said, "The faster you improve your cultivation, the faster the Dark Vortex in your energy heart grows, and the less ti you have left."
Lanling said, "Searching for life amid dead ends!"
At this mont, in front of him knelt thousands of people!
Eight Sub-King Layer powerhouses, over a hundred Demon Saint Layer powerhouses, nearly two thousand Demon Venerable Layer powerhouses.
Lanling would devour them all, elevating his cultivation to the extre.
Madly devouring, an unprecedented frenzy of devouring.
The sky above the Fla Demon Great Hall was once again filled with lightning and thunder, blood-red clouds almost completely shrouding most of Fla Demon City, apocalyptic visions descending once again.
After several days and nights of devouring, finally, everything ended.
...
anwhile, at the Demon Star Pavilion in the Sky Holy Palace!
Ning Wuya was playing chess with himself, overthinking made him feel a bit parched, and he said, "Anan, make tea!"
A mont later, a beautiful girl walked over and made tea for him.
That posture, that perfectly exquisite face, looked exactly like Suo Lun’s features.
She was Suo Lun’s daughter, Suo Qin, born from Fu Yan’er.
While pondering, Ning Wuya said, "Anan, I could send you to reunite with your father, how would you like that?"
...
