Chu Yun's heart trembled.

The Sky Demoness, a figure who once stood at the pinnacle of the Origin Realm, an Emperor Realm powerhouse!

As these words flashed through Chu Yun's mind, he was deeply shaken.

He truly hadn't expected that the person before him was a reincarnation of the Sky Demoness, and moreover, an Emperor Realm reincarnation!

"Wait!!"

"You're saying the two of them... not only is the Sky Demoness reincarnated, but the Heavenly Mandate Empress has also reincarnated?!" Chu Yun's heart jolted violently.

Had he stumbled into a nest of reincarnated individuals?

Were they all going to experience a grand return like the Cicada of Spring and Autumn?

[System: Yes, the reincarnated bodies of the Heavenly Mandate Empress and the Sky Demoness are both within the Great Xia Imperial City.]

Seeing Chu Yun lost in thought for so long, the Sky Demoness believed she had seized control of the situation and victory was within her grasp.

A playful smile flickered across her face: "You've been thinking for so long, what are you pondering?"

Chu Yun slowly raised his gaze to look at her, feigning profundity: "I'm wondering if I should call you the Sky Demoness, or Yu Qingxin?"

The Sky Demoness's smile froze instantly.

Her eyes widened, her face contorted in shock and fear, and a chill crept up from the soles of her feet: "You... who exactly are you?"

"How could you possibly know my true identity?!"

Chu Yun smiled calmly, hands behind his back: "Someone like you isn't qualified to know my identity."

These words sounded incredibly familiar to the Sky Demoness.

Chu Yun was using her own methods against her.

This made the Sky Demoness, in addition to her shock, grit her teeth in anger.

"What do you want?" the Sky Demoness asked, her gaze fixed on him with extreme caution.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I should be the one asking you that, shouldn't I?"

"You're the one who came to provoke me, and now you're asking what I want?"

"Don't you find that strange to say?" Chu Yun stated directly.

The Sky Demoness took a slow, deep breath and said: "Since you can see through my origins, it means your identity is equally extraordinary."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're also a reincarnated individual?"

"Am I correct?"

Chu Yun raised his head and chuckled: "So what if I am?"

"Since we're both reincarnated, there's no need for us to be so confrontational."

"How about this, let's cooperate?" the Sky Demoness proposed.

"You're in my hands, what leverage do you have to cooperate with me?" Chu Yun asked.

The Sky Demoness smiled with relative composure: "Since you know my origins, don't you also know my methods?"

"This body is merely one of my many clones. Even if it dies, the impact on my main body will be negligible."

Chu Yun furrowed his brow: "System, is what she's saying true?"

[System: Half true, half false.]

[Her current body is indeed a clone, but with her current cultivation level, if this clone dies, her main body will definitely be severely injured. It won't be as easy as she claims.]

With the System's clarification, Chu Yun felt a surge of confidence.

The Sky Demoness was completely unaware that even with her past life's experience and methods, she had no advantage against Chu Yun.

How could she possibly win when her opponent had such an ace up his sleeve?

"Are you sure?"

"If I'm not mistaken, if this clone perishes, your main body will also suffer a significant backlash."

"Sky Demoness, why bother playing these little tricks in front of me?" Chu Yun said with a calm and detached expression.

The Sky Demoness's face darkened.

It was as if everything about her had been seen through by this man.

After composing herself, she said: "Your insight is extraordinary, I am impressed."

Chu Yun didn't lose his composure and continued: "However, considering our previous encounter, I'm willing to listen to how you propose we cooperate."

The Sky Demoness's full chest heaved up and down, agitated by Chu Yun's taunting words. Suppressing her emotions, she said: "It's very simple. I'll help you ascend to the position of Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and you, using your power and the strength of your Shi Family, will help me deal with one person."

"Who?" Chu Yun asked.

"The Heavenly Mandate Empress, Meng Ruoxue," the Sky Demoness blurted out.

"Meng Ruoxue... that name sounds so familiar..."

Chu Yun felt the name was familiar, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Meng Ruoxue, the Prime Minister's daughter, the most beautiful woman of the younger generation!"

"She's the reincarnation of the Heavenly Mandate Empress?!"

Chu Yun's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Meng Ruoxue to be the Heavenly Mandate Empress.

Her father, Meng Changzhong, was the Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, holding an extremely high position and deeply trusted by the Emperor. He could be considered the most powerful official.

As for his daughter, Meng Ruoxue, she was rumored to be as beautiful as a celestial being, but with a cold and arrogant personality. It seemed no one of her generation was worthy in her eyes.

She usually stayed indoors, and apart from the people in the Prime Minister's mansion, outsiders rarely saw her.

"That's right."

"She is the Heavenly Mandate Empress."

"Currently, her cultivation has reached the peak of the Shattering Realm. However, I have placed the Nirvana Curse upon her. Without the Source of Nirvana, she will never be able to enter the Nirvana Realm in this lifetime."

"My condition is that we join forces to eliminate her!"

"As for your position as Crown Prince, I will do my best to help you ascend, and I will also help you uncover the truth behind your disappearance back then," the Sky Demoness said seriously.

Chu Yun's mind was carefully processing this information.

Today had been too much.

He had received so many explosive pieces of news all at once. If this were to get out, the Prime Minister's mansion would immediately become the focus of attention for various major powers.

An empress reincarnation – the changes this could bring to the entire Great Xia Dynasty in the future could be described as revolutionary.

[System: Master, friendly reminder, your character background can be edited in four days. At that time, you can edit it to be the relative or lover of both of them, having both. Isn't that wonderful?]

"That's right!!"

"Why do I have to make a choice?!"

"As an adult, of course, I should have it all!"

Chu Yun had an epiphany, his mind now clear. He calmly replied, "One Heavenly Mandate Empress in exchange for the position of Crown Prince? This is too much of a loss for me."

"I can't do it."

"How about this: I'll release this clone of yours, and you stay by my side for three months to help me."

"After that, you're free to stay or go. How about it?" Chu Yun proposed.

The Sky Demoness frowned and fell into thought.

After a moment, "Three months. Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Chu Yun smiled at her. "I believe that a dignified Sky Demoness wouldn't go back on her word once it's given."

"Besides, do you think I'm afraid of you going back on your word?"

When out in the world, one's status is self-proclaimed.

The most important thing in life is to know how to package yourself.

Chu Yun had now packaged himself as the reincarnation of a super-big shot. Even if the Sky Demoness went back on her word, he would have ways to deal with her.

The confidence he displayed alone made the Sky Demoness somewhat wary.
