Chapter 151
He's losing control!
"Father, please calm down! I'm begging you!" Ye Xun knelt down before the old demon king with a thud.
"Don't want!"
The Empress Dowager also panicked. Once the Demon King unleashed his power, none of them would be a match for him, and they wouldn't even be able to escape.
"My husband, have you heard my explanation—"
In her panic, she pushed the two servants down, but the more she tried, the more chaotic things became. In her fright, the snake's tail and the earthworm's tail, which had taken their original forms halfway down, wrapped themselves around her and tied them into a knot, making it impossible for her to move!
"Get out of here!"
"Ah! Your Majesty, please be gentle!"
"Your Majesty, it's knotted! It's knotted!"
"Ahhh!" The old demon king was afraid of the earthworm demon, but little did he know that the earthworm was even more afraid of the demon king, who could kill him with a single slap. He let out a series of screams in fright.
His shout startled the old demon king, who then let out an even louder cry.
"Aaaaaaah!!"
The Fox King's desperate cries Ye Xun and the Empress Dowager's astonished screams rose and fell in a continuous stream.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chaos erupted in the hall, while those below were laughing so hard they nearly passed out, forgetting that the most important thing at that moment wasn't to watch the drama unfold, but to escape.
Even Tu San stared wide-eyed at the scene—no wonder this was the royal city; it was so different from their backwater. Where else could they watch such a spectacular farce?
"Junior Sister, let's run!" Although Wen Zhi also wanted to watch the excitement, if they didn't run now, they wouldn't be able to escape soon.
Qiaoqiao winked at her, "Third Senior Sister, don't worry."
Wen Zhi: Could there be another expert?
The old demon king had reached a critical moment in gathering his power. Just then, the snake demon servant, quick-witted, transformed his Demon Power into a blade and directly severed the lower half of the red-clad servant's body, thus untying the knot between the three in an instant.
Without a word, the snake demon transformed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.
The red-clad attendant screamed in agony, his lower body drenched in blood, and cried out hatefully, "Don't run! I'll cut off your snake tail!"
This shout was rough and heavy, as if it weighed eight hundred pounds, completely different from his previous strained voice. It turned out that this was his true voice. He transformed into a wisp of red smoke and followed.
The two demon servants slipped away quickly, and the palace maids, seeing there was no more excitement to watch, also retreated. Qiaoqiao and Wen Zhi mingled among them, taking their second senior sister with them as well.
The moment they stepped out of the palace gate, a loud bang!
The entire hall collapsed with a deafening roar, sending bricks and tiles flying everywhere. A second wave of impact followed, shattering the flying bricks and tiles into dust.
The dust fell in abundance, and the main hall was completely reduced to ashes.
Qiaoqiao reacted quickly, taking out her Law Treasure and setting up a barrier to protect her senior sisters. When the dust settled, only one person remained standing in the hall.
After unleashing this powerful palm strike, the old demon king triggered the accumulated poison within his body and collapsed with a thud.
Ye Xun hid behind Zi Rong, kneeling on the ground, curled up in a ball, his fox ears sticking out in fright, turning into airplane ears.
"Mother, Empress Dowager..."
Zi Rong stood firmly, but her hair was blown into the air, turning into a frizzy, upward-pointing hairstyle. Her face was covered in black dust, and her once-splendid clothes were now tattered and torn, making her look like a beggar who had crawled out of a garbage dump.
The demon servants crowded forward, glanced at the Empress Dowager's appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.
The palace maids burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" the Empress Dowager snapped.
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at her with some fear.
Clatter
With a soft sound, her hair, scorched by Demon Power, fell from her head like a bird's nest, her bald head reflecting the sunlight and dazzling everyone's eyes.
Silence.
An endless silence spread.
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
"Her bald head is so shiny!"
In the crowd, Qiaoqiao's cheerful laughter made everyone burst into laughter.
Amidst the uproarious laughter, the Empress Dowager touched the top of her head, her face turning completely black. She glared at Qiaoqiao, a young palace maid in the crowd, only to hear another burst of wild laughter behind her.
She slowly turned her head around.
The Ye Xun watchman covered his mouth in terror and mumbled, "Mother, I didn't mean to! I didn't want to laugh! Your head... hahaha! I really didn't..."
Snap!
In front of everyone, Zi Rong gave him a solid slap across the face.
Ye Xun couldn't laugh anymore; tears welled up in his eyes.
In front of so many people, his mother actually slapped him! Where did that leave his reputation as the demon king?
Zi Rong coldly swept her gaze across everyone present, her eyes landing on Xiao Tingyu. She instructed Ye Xun, "Keep a close eye on her. The wedding is in three days; no mishaps are allowed."
With that, he gave a haughty snort, then flew away, his departing figure bearing a somewhat disheveled air.
As soon as she left, everyone busied themselves cleaning up the mess. Someone dragged the unconscious old demon king back. Ye Xun wiped his face and stood up. "Please take the Queen back."
The Queen's maidservants came forward to help Xiao Tingyu. Wen Zhi couldn't bear to let go of her second senior sister's hand. Just as she was reluctant to let go, she suddenly felt a gentle force in her palm, like a cat's paw gently pressing down.
She looked up in surprise, only to find that Xiao Tingyu had already left with the maids.
Then look down at your palm--
Just now, it seemed like her second senior sister hooked her hand?
That night, the palace was completely silent.
The palace maids lived in a row of side rooms in the west palace. Most of them were already asleep. Qiaoqiao sat on the veranda looking at the stars. In this unfamiliar place, she was a little unsure about the bed and wasn't sleepy.
The stars in the Demon Realm are just as brilliant as those in the Human Realm.
"Junior Sister, can't you sleep?" Wen Zhi lifted her skirt, sat down beside her, and asked softly.
