Chapter 1008: Meeting

One battle to shock the world; the great Blood-devil army was annihilated; its overlords were murdered. Even the leader who was considered the greatest after Immortal Emperor Chen Xue couldn’t escape death.

Blood flowed through the ruins and filled the Barren Earth. Even after several days, the stench of blood remained. Anyone who smelled it would s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.

In just one night, the southern region was silenced. The once-arrogant Blood race and all the other powerful existences, including G.o.dkings and those buried underground, were all quiet.

“The Blood-devil Tribe won’t be able to rise for another three generations.” Even a Blood ancestor spoke forlornly.

All of their ancestors had died in this battle. From now on, it wouldn’t be an easy task for the fallen tribe to rise again.

Some felt sorry while others were ambivalent about the end of the Blood-devils. Of course, there were those who were celebrating as well… The tribe that been started by w.a.n.g Dongtian’s generation had flourished too much. They were unified, unyielding, and ruthless. Eventually, they became the biggest branch among the Blood Race of this region.

Ultimately, he was the reason for their downfall. The great efforts of several generations were all ruined due to his ambition! He was both their hero and sinner.

On the second day after the destruction of the Blood-devils, a different branch of the Blood Race, the Crimson Night Kingdom, sent out a message about the inauguration of their new king.

They supported a new king overnight. Moreover, this new king was an unknown disciple from the kingdom — Si Yuanyuan!

A few disciples in the kingdom couldn’t help but ask: “Who is Si Yuanyuan?”

A fameless disciple suddenly became the new king — this was a very difficult matter to accept, especially within a kingdom that had two emperors.

However, no one dared to question her crowning because something terrifying had happened in the kingdom on the day prior.

A few people managed to find out the real story. On that night, a very ancient G.o.dking of the kingdom came into being. He personally exiled the majority of the imperial family, including more than ten ancestors.

“Immortal Emperor Chi Ye’s first branch once again has control over the kingdom. All of the Storm G.o.d’s confidants were either dismissed from their post or banished!” An informed person secretly sent out this news.

The appearance of this old G.o.dking allowed Si Yuanyuan to become the new ruler overnight. It was a done deal, no one could do anything about it.

The complete transfer of power was the Thunder Tower Lord’s promise to Li Qiye. At the same time, this was a chance for rebirth for the kingdom.

This was because Si Yuanyuan was not only a person held in high regard by Li Qiye, the Bloodbull G.o.dfiend had the same opinion of her. This had quite some significance for the kingdom.

Even though it was impossible to avoid spilling blood in this internal power struggle, they had an opportunity to escape the same fate as the Blood-devil Tribe.

“The Blood Race is changing completely, this is the pa.s.sing of an era!” A wise man from the Blood Race recognized that something was amiss. The transformation of two great branches in the Blood Clan meant that the Bloods in the southern region would move in a different direction from now on!

***

While the southern region underwent these changes, Li Qiye and Su Yonghuang’s group had returned to the Holy City.

Inside their residence, a pleasant voice could be heard. This was a relaxing Buddhist chant with an unspeakable mysticism.

Su Yonghuang entered the room to find Li Qiye lying on Chen Baojiao; his head was resting on her firm and plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s while his legs were placed on Li Shuangyan. He closed his eyes and had a very comfortable and pleased expression.

Li Shuangyan was holding a Buddhist scripture and reading the profundities of this faith out loud to Li Qiye. At the same time, Chen Baojiao was peeling fruits and gently feeding them to her Young n.o.ble.

Su Yonghuang, as the master, angrily glared at him after seeing him enjoying this situation so much. Alas, he deserved this type of emperor-like treatment. It was nothing compared to his overall accomplishments.

Li Qiye didn’t bother opening his eyes and gently tapped the chair next to him while leisurely speaking: “Sit down.”

Su Yonghuang sat down next to him despite being annoyed by his complacent state: “Don’t forget, I am your master!”

Li Qiye finally opened his eyes to look at Su Yonghuang who was within his reach and smiled: “I know, you took advantage of me.”

“Who would want to take advantage of you!” Even the n.o.ble Su Yonghuang had a hint of coquetry as she glared at him. [1. The word for coquetry here can be problematic and situational in an English translation. Coquetry/flirting/coy/childish are all part of this word, 嗲. As a noun, it refers to someone who speaks and acts in an overly gentle way that others can't resist feeling charmed or frightened. As an adjective, it describes the extremely gentle quality of one's tone or actions. The word originated in Shanghai in the first half of the 20th century. It is believed that ”dia” was derived from the English word ”dear”. When Shanghai people first embraced ”dia” in their everyday talk in the 1960s, a Shanghai newspaper launched a series of debates over it. Conservatives held that ”dia” described a woman who intentionally plays up her feminine character to allure men. They saw it as a negative word. However, others argued that the word could be used in a positive sense and should be accepted. Now, the word can mean ”good” or ”wonderful”, although it more often emphasizes a woman's appearance and inner qualities. I suppose the equivalent for Koreans would be Aegyo.]
