At that, Bai Ze and Bai Qianqian were both startled.
"Announce a new Demon Emperor? Who?"
Bai Ze asked.
"Nuwa and Fu Xi. On their trip to Buzhou Mountain, the Heavenly Emperor and his brother Dong Huang met several great powers."
"The two Demon Emperors gave Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun some opportunities, forming a good relationship with them."
"Nuwa and Fu Xi are also members of the Demon Race. They received an invitation and came to the Sun God Palace."
"And then, well, today's events happened."
Li Mo finished speaking and shrugged.
"What exactly happened? Tell me about it."
Bai Ze looked intrigued as he asked while they made their way toward the Sun Star.
Along the way, Bai Qianqian listened to Li Mo recount the trip to Buzhou Mountain, her eyes brimming with interest.
When he told them how the two Demon Emperors had been besieged, Bai Ze and Bai Qianqian couldn't help holding their breath.
But in the end, things had worked out well.
"I knew it! The two Demon Emperors are both favored by great fortune. There was no way anything could happen to them." Bai Ze laughed.
If it weren't for Laozi, Jun Ge and Second Brother would both be dead.
Before long, they reached the Sun God Palace.
Inside the great hall, many powerful members of the Demon Race stood below the dais.
They were all speculating about what they were going to discuss this time.
Li Mo glanced around and noticed quite a few unfamiliar faces.
Among them were several Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
When Shang Yang saw Li Mo and Bai Ze arrive, he glanced at them without saying a word.
He had embarrassed himself in front of them last time, so he didn't dare say anything.
Not long afterward, a man in ornate robes strode over. He was extraordinarily handsome, with an almost bewitching air.
His cultivation had astonishingly reached the early stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
"Who's that? Why does he look like a woman?" Li Mo covered his mouth and whispered to Bai Qianqian beside him.
Bai Qianqian's cheeks dimpled as she smiled at Li Mo. "That's my father! He's the leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."
"Huh? Oh..." Li Mo coughed awkwardly.
Bai Qianqian bounced over, took the bewitching man by the arm, and said, "Father, you haven't met my senior brother yet, have you? This is my senior brother, Li Mo."
"Chief Bai," Li Mo said politely.
Bai Jiu smiled and nodded. Noticing that Li Mo was only at the middle stage of the Mystic Immortal realm, he shook his head. "You're certainly impressive in appearance, but your strength is a little lacking."
"Father, you don't have to put it like that, do you?" Bai Qianqian tugged at Bai Jiu's arm, pouting in displeasure.
She had already reached the late stage of the Mystic Immortal realm, despite being born countless years after Li Mo.
She was afraid of hurting Li Mo's pride. After all, she used to be weaker than him, but now she had surpassed him.
"I'm only telling the truth," Bai Jiu said.
"Bai Jiu, Li Mo is my disciple and Qianqian's senior brother. You don't have to mock him like that, do you?" Bai Ze frowned. He and Bai Jiu got along well, but he was still displeased to hear Bai Jiu speak of Li Mo that way.
"Mm, there's nothing wrong with him being your disciple. But if he wants to be Qianqian's Dao companion, that's another matter. Her Dao companion must be at least a Golden Immortal!" Bai Jiu said, glancing at Li Mo.
He also tugged Bai Qianqian toward him.
Clearly, he wasn't pleased by how warmly Bai Qianqian had just treated Li Mo.
"Father, what are you saying?"
"What am I saying? Look at what you're wearing today! What is this?"
Bai Jiu scolded her.
Li Mo didn't say anything. I'm definitely going to make this little fox, Bai Qianqian, mine.
What does Bai Jiu amount to right now?
I, Li Mo, could take him down with one move.
But he'll be my father-in-law one day, so I can't just lay a hand on him.
Otherwise, I'd summon Luohu and have him grind you into the dirt.
"Chief Bai is right. A member of the Demon Race below the Golden Immortal realm wouldn't be worthy of Junior Sister Qianqian," Li Mo said politely.
"Senior Brother, my father means well. Don't be angry." Bai Qianqian ignored Bai Jiu, took Li Mo by the arm, and comforted him.
At that, Li Mo warmly took Bai Qianqian's small hand and held it in his palm. "Don't worry, Qianqian. I'm not angry. I'll have plenty of time to get along with Chief Bai in the future."
Bai Jiu was left speechless by the scene.
The cabbage he'd raised so carefully was about to be rooted up by Li Mo, that pig.
And this "cabbage" had turned her back on her father, siding with an outsider instead.
A short while later, the great hall grew lively.
A voice rang out!
"The Heavenly Emperor and Dong Huang have arrived!"
At once—
Two figures appeared at the back of the hall, like blazing golden flames.
The two Golden Crows sat upon the high dais.
They wore splendid robes, carried themselves with distinction, and exuded an extraordinary air.
Alongside them, two serpent-tailed members of the Demon Race appeared in the hall.
One was female and one male; their auras were deep as the abyss.
Among those present, aside from Di Jun and Tai Yi, no one could compare with them.
Even Chang Xi and Xihe of the Moon Star fell short.
Their arrival immediately drew the attention of many members of the Demon Race.
As expected of Nuwa and Fu Xi. The moment they appeared, they became the center of attention.
Li Mo thought.
Then Di Jun's voice suddenly rang out.
He announced, "I've summoned you all here today to announce an important matter."
"Your Majesty, what is it? Just tell us already! I'm so eager to know that I'm itching all over!"
A restless member of the Demon Race spoke up.
Di Jun chuckled. "Nothing less than this: our Demon Race will have new Demon Emperors today."
The hall erupted.
But everyone's gaze settled on Nuwa and Fu Xi.
Apart from the two of them, there were no other beings worthy of bearing the title of Demon Emperor.
"As you can all see, Daoist Fu Xi and Daoist Nuwa are both innate divinities who listened to the Dao alongside me at the Purple Heaven Palace. They are incredibly powerful, having already reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. If my guess is right, at the next sermon at the Purple Heaven Palace, they'll be able to step directly into the Quasi-Saint realm."
"So I've invited them to join our Demon Race and become our emperors: Xi Huang and Wa Huang."
Di Jun spoke.
Though this was already what everyone had expected, all the members of the Demon Race were still visibly thrilled.
The whole hall roared like thunder. Fu Xi and Nuwa becoming the new Demon Emperors was only right and proper.
Not a single member of the Demon Race objected.
"May Xi Huang and Wa Huang endure through the ages!"
"May Xi Huang and Wa Huang endure through the ages!"
For a moment, the entire hall rang with deafening cheers.
The addition of two of the greatest powers in the Primordial World sent the Demon Race's morale soaring.
Fu Xi and Nuwa hadn't expected to be so popular. Smiles appeared at the corners of their mouths.
All right, we can go now. I knew this was what it was about.
Jun Ge's done talking. Let's leave.
I still have to go back and admire Junior Sister's beautiful legs.
As he thought this, Li Mo couldn't help reaching over and touching Bai Qianqian's leg.
Bai Qianqian's face flushed red.
But in the next instant—
Di Jun spoke again. "Aside from Wa Huang and Xi Huang, there is one more Demon Emperor!"
