Xie Feng stood up. "I'm leaving."
Jun Ran was taken aback. "You're in such a hurry to leave before you've even finished a cup of tea?"
Xie Feng said, "I have an appointment, I can't stay any longer."
Jun Ran chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Xie is truly a very busy person."
Xie Feng shrugged and smiled, "There's nothing I can do about it, I'm just too popular."
Jun Ran: "..."
Holy Demon Heaven. Demonic Sect.
In the dark and empty hall stood Ming Cangyan and Yan Xu.
Yan Xu looked around and sighed softly, "Uh... without the three Demon Lords, this place suddenly feels so empty..."
Ming Cangyan said, " Qian Xiao is dead, and Bai Lan and Meiying are meditating in the Desolate Life Valley. If you want to see them, wait ten thousand years."
Yan Xu: "..."
Ming Cangyan patted his arm and comforted him, "Ten thousand years will pass quickly, in the blink of an eye."
Yan Xu said, "Wasn't His Majesty just saying it casually?"
Although His Majesty's temperament is unpredictable, he is truly protective of his own. While he may be very sharp-tongued towards the members of the Demonic Sect, his threats of "get lost" or "be punished" are just casual remarks...
Ming Cangyan said, "To avenge his junior brother, we naturally have to make this a real show!"
Yan Xu nodded. "That's true!"
( Xie Feng:???)
( Xie Feng: The clown is actually myself?)
Yan Xu snorted, " Bai Lan and the others are really honest. If I were him, I would have run back long ago!"
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, a cold voice drifted over.
Ge Ya's majestic and handsome figure appeared outside the door. He walked in, his black sleeves billowing in the wind, and a powerful demonic aura swept over us.
He pointed at Yan Xu, his face expressionless, and said, "From this moment on, you are demoted to Demon Lord, Bai Lan will take your place! Now, go to the Desolate Life Valley and meditate in seclusion for ten thousand years! Bai Lan can return to her sect!"
Yan Xu: "!!!"
Yan Xu: "Your Majesty, no!"
Ge Ya rolled his eyes, unmoved.
"Your Majesty, you cannot do this. Do you know the consequences if you don't have your subordinates?"
Yan Xu knelt down with a thud, tears welling in his eyes, his mouth trembling. He stretched out his hands and clung tightly to Ge Ya's thigh, his already dwindling morals shattered completely.
Ming Cangyan quickly closed his eyes; it was truly an eyesore!
It's unbearable to look at...
It's unbearable to look at...
Ge Ya roared, "Let go!"
Yan Xu said, "I will not release him!"
Ge Ya's lips twitched. "Damn it, you're going to rip my pants off!"
Yan Xu: "..."
Ming Cangyan: "..."
Ge Ya said, "I'll give you a chance to persuade me to change my mind."
Yan Xu brushed the dust off his clothes, stood up, and flashed a fawning smile, saying, "Your Majesty, do you know what you would face without your subordinates?"
"What?"
Ge Ya crossed his arms and asked with a smirk.
"You will be facing the boring Ming Cangyan, the dull Bai Lan, and a bunch of people who are trembling with fear and dare not utter a word! These people are well-behaved but not considerate at all!"
Who will comfort you when you're angry? Who will slap you when you're furious? Who will agree with you when you're happy? Who will comfort you when you're sad? Is it the cold, impersonal hall, or the No Life people there?
"Just think about all those people who are tense all day, with faces darker than the last, and so stupid! So rigid! Doesn't that make you furious and shudder?!"
"Life is but a journey of enjoyment, and I am willing to dedicate myself to you, to play with you in this world, and to revel in the wonders of nature!"
Yan Xu's true feelings were revealed, and his voice became much louder.
Ge Ya thought about it and thought, "Hey, that makes perfect sense! This kid really understands me!"
He then said, "Then you can stay!"
Yan Xu immediately beamed with joy. "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ming Cangyan: "..."
This energetic pug... who's going to stew him?
I can't take it anymore!
These days, honest people aren't well-liked...
However, he also understood that His Majesty's ability to appoint people was a testament to his status as Emperor.
Although Yan Xu is glib, sycophantic, narcissistic, and a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he is incredibly capable, never neglects his duties, and never maliciously slanders or frames others.
In short, while Yan Xu is oily, it's refreshingly oily! It's unconventionally oily!
Why wouldn't His Majesty be happy to have someone by his side who can bring him joy?
As Yan Xu continued to fawn over him, Ge Ya frowned, remembering the agreement he had made with Xie Feng earlier. He then turned around and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the Demon Palace.
Ming Cangyan asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Ge Ya stopped in his tracks and said coldly, "Do I need to report to you where I go?"
Ming Cangyan choked, "Uh..."
Ge Ya sneered, "Then why don't you become the Devil Emperor! If you are the Devil Emperor, I will tell you in every detail where I am going in the morning, where I am going at noon, and where I am going in the evening!"
"Your subordinate knows he was wrong..."
Cold sweat broke out on Ming Cangyan's forehead.
He regretted his loose tongue!
I just want to dig a hole in the ground and disappear!
Ge Ya laughed, "You're right. You care about me and have a strong sense of responsibility. That's exactly the kind of talent the Demonic Sect needs."
Ming Cangyan was even more frightened.
The Devil Emperor's smile could mean the difference between life and death...
He simply bowed his head and clasped his hands, not daring to utter a single word.
brush!
Ge Ya flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and left with an air of arrogance.
He went to the Xuanji Sect.
As soon as he stepped into the Azure Jade Heaven, a tall and slender figure was already waiting quietly; it was Xie Feng.
"Did you know I would come at this moment?"
Ge Ya raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. He was a completely different person from the one who had been so aggressive and made Ming Cangyan break out in a cold sweat just moments before.
Xie Feng laughed and said, "Just Heavenly Calculation Art!"
Ge Ya walked up to him and nodded. "Having been away for many years, I also want to see what the Xuanji Sect looks like now. It would be quite enjoyable to walk and chat with my junior brother."
"Senior brother, please."
Xie Feng reached out his hand in a welcoming gesture.
"Haha! Junior brother has grown up. He's no longer the greenhorn he used to be! The leader of a sect, quite the demeanor!" Ge Ya patted Xie Feng on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
As soon as they stepped into the Xuanji Mountain Range, the atmosphere on the once bustling mountain suddenly changed.
Pigs run at the sight of it, rabbits hide, and leaves fall. When the wind stops and the clouds gather, many creatures are on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy!
They are not targeting Xie Feng...
It's Ge Ya!
The moment this seemingly harmless Devil Emperor stepped onto the Xuanji Mountain Range, countless beings on the ten winding, endless mountains were transported back to the past!
Those days that were ravaged...
The man who catches hawks, roasts birds, fryes cauldrons, and blows up mountains—he's back!!
"Ah, this hospitality hasn't changed at all!" Ge Ya opened his arms and exclaimed in deep appreciation, "I feel completely at home, so warm and welcoming!"
Xie Feng gave a wry smile.
His arrival immediately put Xuanji Mountain on high alert, demonstrating just how much hatred the Second Senior Brother had incurred back then... and how deep the psychological trauma these beings harbored...
It seems like it will take a lifetime to heal...
The two chatted idly along the way, and disciples or elders from the Xuanji Sect would occasionally come over to greet them. The moment Ge Ya saw a female disciple, he swiftly took out a ghost mask and put it on his face.
Xie Feng was used to it.
My senior has gynophobia!
Over the years, instead of getting better, it has become increasingly serious...
