Qiongqi approached Su Chen respectfully, then said to the Sky-Bearing Bird, "Old Bi, to be honest, among the Demon Race, you're the one I find most pleasing to the eye. You're an elegant demon like me, while the others are all rather ugly."
"I advise you to Submission my Family Head, or you will surely die today, even if the king comes."
Upon hearing this, the Sky-Bearing Bird's heart trembled. Their Demon Race king was Immortal Venerable Completion, and in the entire Cloud Firmament Realm, only one Human Race could rival him.
But even such a powerful figure couldn't stop Su Chen?
The Sky-Bearing Bird took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, declared, "In that case, I am willing to Submission."
Now it seems he has no other choice but to Submission or die.
He had been quite resistant to Submission Su Chen before, but seeing that even Qiongqi had Submission, for some reason, his resistance vanished instantly.
Your Qiongqi Bloodline is no less than mine, yet even you Submission me, so what is there that I cannot Submission to?
Perhaps because of this mindset, the Sky-Bearing Bird didn't find it so difficult to accept.
Su Chen raised his hand and pointed, and terrifying Divine Soul power instantly enveloped the Sky-Bearing Bird. He felt as if something thick and strong had entered his brain.
Immediately afterwards, his Divine Soul was brutally marked, becoming Su Chen's slave.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction; another mount had been added to his collection.
One runs on the ground, the other flies in the sky.
It was a perfect outcome.
The Sky-Bearing Bird sighed helplessly and knelt before Su Chen: "Greetings, Master."
At this point, he had no choice but to Submission.
Just now, after being forcibly marked with a Soul Imprint, he had already realized that Su Chen's strength was far beyond his imagination, and he could not possibly be a match for him.
If he doesn't Submission in this situation, he will only face death.
There are no other possibilities.
On the other side, the Empress looked at Su Chen with some surprise in her eyes. She really hadn't reacted yet; everything had turned around too quickly.
She was still a little dazed.
He was about to die when Su Chen suddenly appeared, killed Ye Yao, easily killed Taotie, and even took the Demon Race, the Heavenly Prodigy Sky-Bearing Bird, as his mount.
What terrifying person is this?
The Empress suddenly remembered, wasn't this the person beside Li Qingyue?
He had seen it from afar once before.
This person was also the one who previously bought out the entire Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce.
A look of solemnity flashed in the Empress's eyes. It seemed that this person was indeed a terrifyingly powerful figure from the Outside World, capable of easily killing Immortal Venerable. He must have already reached the Immortal Emperor Level.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, the Empress coughed up a mouthful of blood. She had only recently broken through to the Immortal Venerable, and her aura was still unstable. She had then been injured by forcibly fighting, and now she was experiencing a backlash.
The Empress nearly fell from the sky, her body unsteady.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
After the Empress finished speaking, she hurriedly returned to the depths of the Imperial Palace to heal her wounds.
Her condition is extremely bad right now, and there is no time to lose, otherwise she might suffer indelible injuries.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, after all, the Empress was Li Qingyue's mother, and he should help her if he could.
"Hold on."
The Empress paused abruptly, turning to look at Su Chen with a weak expression, wondering why he had called her back at this moment.
Su Chen smiled and then took out a Pill: "Your injuries are very serious. If they are not treated properly, the consequences will be very severe."
After saying that, he looked up and took out a Pill, which was of high quality, Immortal Grade Rank 9 healing Pill.
The Empress naturally recognized that this Pill was extraordinary; even within the entire Nine Stars Empire, there wasn't a single Pill like it.
Hiss!
The Empress couldn't help but gasp. This was just given to her like that?
Immortal Grade Rank 9 treasure—it's estimated that there's not a single one like this in the entire Cloud Firmament Realm. Even if there were, there would only be one or two at most, and they would definitely be the most prized possessions of any sect.
Just like that, it's given away?
Could he be interested in me?
The Empress had this thought inexplicably cross her mind, but she immediately shook her head, dismissing it. She politely declined, saying, "Sir, such kindness is truly difficult for me to repay. Please take the Pill back."
Su Chen frowned slightly. He wouldn't even accept a free Pill?
"But your injuries..."
The words had barely left her lips when the Empress coughed up a mouthful of blood, her breath becoming extremely weak, and she fell straight down from the sky.
Su Chen didn't think much of it and didn't believe it was due to the influence of the Dual Cultivation Great Dao, since the Empress's condition was indeed very bad.
He raised his hand and waved, a gentle power enveloping the Empress before disappearing into the sky.
When they reappeared, they were already deep within the Imperial Palace. Su Chen fed the Empress the Pill, and the rich Life Aura immediately began to heal the injuries in her body.
Within a few dozen breaths, the Empress's breathing became steady.
Seeing that her injuries had healed, Su Chen turned and left.
Just a few breaths later, the Empress opened her weak eyes. Her stunningly beautiful face held a complex expression. For some reason, Su Chen's direct gift of such a precious item made her feel that he was interested in her.
Otherwise, why send it?
Immortal Grade Rank 9 Pill —that's incredibly rare.
The Empress was well aware of her beauty; it was enough to drive any man mad, so it seemed quite normal that Su Chen liked her.
The Empress shook her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She was a very strong-willed woman. In the past, many people in the Imperial Family had asked her to find a strong man to bear her offspring, but since she could not find such a man, she eventually gave birth to a child using the power of heaven and earth.
However, the Empress still harbored the idea of finding a strong person.
Women are inherently powerful, and the Empress is even more so. She greatly admires cultivators stronger than herself, especially those with terrifying strength like Su Chen.
The scene of Su Chen slaying the Taotie and subduing the Sky-Bearing Bird is still vivid in my mind.
Finally, the Empress sighed.
"Unfortunately, Li Qingyue beat them all to it."
She was Li Qingyue's mother; what would it look like if she got involved with Su Chen?
She herself couldn't accept this kind of thing.
The Empress also had her pride; she would not allow other women to share the same man with her.
The Empress suppressed her thoughts completely and focused all her energy on healing her injuries as quickly as possible.
She didn't want to have her Future permanently stuck at the Immortal Venerable Realm just because she had broken through to that level.
