Back when Yun Che listened to Yun Qinghong talk about the stories of the past, he remembered that he clearly mentioned that the Little Demon Emperor disappeared the night he married the Little Demon Empressā¦ He thought that it was strange back then even if the Little Demon Emperor was desperate to save his father and his heart was bitter, would it kill him to leave two or three days later? He just had to run away to Profound Sky Continent at this crucial time for a suicide mission .
Now he suddenly understood; not having the desire to get married when he didnāt know if his father was dead or alive was just an excuse, his real intention was to run away!
If I were married to this woman who was that scary even just hearing about her, I would run away too!
Mn? Thatās not right! The Little Demon Emperor was the Demon Emperorās heir, the master of the Illusory Demon Realm . With his identity, all of Illusory Demon Realmās women should be free pickings, what kind of woman couldnāt he find? Why did he choose some scary woman who sounded like a reanimated ghoul as his Demon Empressā¦ could it be that the Little Demon Empress was from a prominent family? But that still doesnāt make sense . In Illusory Demon Realm, what family background could be greater than the Illusory Demon Royal Familyā¦ and the Little Demon Emperor was the Illusory Demon Royal Familyās first chair! No matter what, he shouldnāt have to tolerate this .
āXiao Yun, what is the family background of the Little Demon Empress? Why did the Little Demon Emperor marry her back then?ā Yun Che asked out of curiosity from his heart .
āUh, itās because the Little Demon Emperor can only marry her . ā
Xiao Yunās answer stunned Yun Che: āCan only marry her? What does that mean?ā
āBig Brother, I canāt believe you didnāt know thatā¦ oh!ā Xiao Yun suddenly realized, āRight, right! I subconsciously forgot it again . Big Brother, you are from the Profound Sky Continent . Hehe, here in Illusory Demon Realm, no one would ever ask a question like that . ā
Xiao Yun started explaining, āThe Demon Emperor can have multiple wives, but the Demon Empress was set ahead of time for him . Because the Demon Emperorās bloodline must be preserved as complete and perfect, the Demon Empress who marries the Demon Emperor must also have the purest Demon Emperorās bloodline, so their offspring would continue to have the most complete Demon Emperorās bloodline and inherit the Demon Emperor position . This is a basic principle that the Demon Emperorās bloodline had which could never be broken . ā
āAs for the children that were borne by other wives, they would be bestowed the title of duke, and can intermarry with other families, but can never inherit the position of the Emperor . But, I heard Father said, that the Demon Emperorās bloodline would consciously not let the bloodline outflow . So in the recent thousands of years, the previous Demon Emperors rarely married other wives besides the Demon Empress, and even if they married, they would purposely not have any children with them . So now, the Illusory Demon Royal Family does not have a Grand Prince anymore . The Duke Hui Ye that we saw today, and his father Duke Huai, are dukes who have the closest relationship with the Demon Emperorās bloodline . However, even though that is so, the Demon Emperorās bloodline in their veins are just too light . ā
Xiao Yunās explained very clearly, but Yun Che, who was listening, was stunned . He asked while trying to sound out, āIf what I know is correct, the Demon Emperorās bloodline seems to only have one bloodline . If this bloodline were to be kept pure, then the Demon Empress must also have the purest Demon Emperorās Bloodline, so does that meanā¦ the Little Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Empress areā¦ areā¦ā
āOh, the Little Demon Empress is the Little Demon Emperorās older sister,ā Xiao Yun said casually .
Yun Che, ā [emailĀ protected] #$%ā¦ā
āUm? Big Brother, whatās wrong? Your faceā¦ suddenly became so strange?ā Xiao Yun seemed to not really understand why Yun Cheās face was twitching like that .
āā¦The Demon Emperorās bloodlineā¦ has been like this for generations?ā When Yun Che spoke, even wind was coming out from the gaps in his teeth .
āYeah . ā Xiao Yun nodded, like it was something normal . His facial expression was as normal as ever, āEach generation of Demon Emperor and Demon Empress would give birth to a son and a daughter, and those son and daughter would become the next generationās Demon Emperor and Demon Empress . There are a lot of other families like this, especially those that can pass down their bloodline power . To prevent the bloodline power from passing on to outsiders, it is forbidden to intermarry with another family . The inheritance of the Patriarch must not mix, that is the clanās greatest tabooā¦ We, the Yun family, are not as strict, because the men can pass down the Profound Handle to the next generation, but not the women . So women in the Yun family can intermarry another family, but men cannot leave the Yun family and marry into another family . ā
Yun Che stared straight at Xiao Yun for a long while, and said slowly, āIn the Profound Sky Continent, blood relatives cannot marry each other . ā
āWhy?ā Xiao Yunās eyes widened, āMarrying the person closest to you can make sure that the offspring also has the purest bloodline . The Profound Sky Continentā¦ is so strange!ā
From the view of the people of Profound Sky Continent, you are the strange onesā¦ Yun Che gnashed his teeth and thought . This is called cultural differences, thatās right, a real life example of cultural differences!
No wonder the Little Demon Emperor would marry the terrifying Little Demon Empress, itās because he didnāt have a choice!
Seems like itās also not easy being the Illusory Demon Emperor .
āNow that the Little Demon Emperor is dead, the one who has the purest bloodline in the whole Illusory Demon Realm would be the Little Demon Empress . It is impossible for the Little Demon Empress to give birth to the next generation aloneā¦ that means, starting from the next generation after the Little Demon Empress, the pure Demon Emperorās bloodline would not exist anymore,ā Yun Che mumbled and said, āOn top of that, with the Little Demon Empress being a woman, no wonder those dukes would spawn disloyalty, with even some of the guardian familiesā loyalty are starting to collapse . ā
āYes, thatās right,ā Xiao Yun nodded, āFather said this is the biggest crisis the Demon Emperorās clan has faced since a million years ago . ā
āThe Little Demon Emperor was too rash . His eagerness to save his father and take back the Demon Emperorās Seal was understandable, but he should know that the safety of his life determines the whole Demon Emperorās clanās heir and future! If he died, the Illusory Demon Realm would no longer have a pure Demon Emperorās bloodline . The Demon Emperor died in Profound Sky Continent . My grandfather and Yun familyās top ten fighters also died there . He shouldāve known that he would surely die if he went to Profound Sky Continent aloneā¦ If he really wanted to suicide, at least wait until the Little Demon Empress bore a son and a daughterā¦ Rather than being rash, it was more like being stupid!ā
Yun Cheās eyebrow suddenly raised .
Wait!
When he first arrived at the Illusory Demon Realm, it didnāt take effort for him to think about the serious and irreparable consequence, so how could the Little Demon Emperor not think of it? Being the heir to the Demon Emperorās bloodline, the Little Demon Emperor should naturally value passing down the bloodline more than anyone elseā¦ that was something more important that himself, and a thousand million times more important than his Fatherās lifeā¦
Then why did he go and suicide so stupidly?
A possibility flashed across Yun Cheās mindā¦ is it possible that the Little Demon Emperor went to Profound Sky Continent for some other hidden reason?
Orā¦ he didnāt actually die in Profound Sky Continent!? Is the knowledge that everyone has in Illusory Demon Realm all fake because someone made it up to cover something up?
After all, the Little Demon Emperor ādisappearedā on their newly wedded night, and left a note informing people that he departed for the Profound Sky Continent, but no one actually saw him leave the Profound Sky Continent . No one even saw with their own eyes if he actually leftā¦ if the Little Demon Emperor was not a complete moron, then, there was a huge possibility that there was something hiddenā¦ or some conspiracy .
Yun Chen eyebrows tightened, and thought back to when he was first at Heavenly Sword Villa . Back then, when Ling Kun used his words to provoke Grandfather Yun Canghai, he seemed to have mentioned the Little Demon Emperorā¦
Yun Che closed his eyes, and concentrated on remembering what Ling Kun said back thenā¦
āā¦Itās no harm for me to tell you again that your Demon Emperor had already died a long time ago . Died under hands of our Mighty Heavenly Sword Regionās Sword Master and Sun Moon Divine Hallās Heavenly Monarchā¦ Your pitiful Demon Emperor who had just ascended to the throne, overestimated his own abilities and wanted to take revenge for his father . Tsk, tskā¦ his cries were so pitiful when dying . Right now, the entire Illusory Demon Realm is supported by a little demon empressā¦ā
Yun Che, āā¦ā
Yun Che had an extremely strong memory . When he focused and thought back, he could make sure he didnāt miss a single wordā¦ Ling Kun talked about the Little Demon Emperorās pitiful deathā¦ but he didnāt mention where he died, or howā¦ At least, he never said he died in the Profound Sky Continent .
Xiao Yun didnāt notice Yun Cheās sudden facial changes . He nodded and said, āThe Little Demon Emperor was really too rash . I heard that the day he was married, he drank a lot of alcohol, and he didnāt use his profound strength to resolve his drunkenness, so he lost his mind after he drank, and acted rashlyā¦ That could be, hehe, because he didnāt know how to face the Little Demon Empress on their wedding night . I heard my Father said, that the Little Demon Emperor was actually very afraid of the Little Demon Empress . ā
āAfraid?ā
āTo be accurate, it should be respectful and afraid,ā Xiao Yun said, āI heard Father say that the Little Demon Emperor had an air of arrogance, but was also really compassionate . As soon as he was born, he had a fearless personality . Even the previous Demon Emperor couldnāt control him, but the only person he was scared of was his sisterā¦ oh, who was also the Little Demon Empress . Little Demon Empressā profound energy cultivation was always stronger than his, and from youth, she was domineering person . Every time the Little Demon Emperor didnāt behave himself, she would beat him up until he obeyed . Even when the Little Demon Emperor saw the previous Demon Emperor, he would be bossy and tyrannical, but when he saw his sister, he would be docile and obedient, and wouldnāt even dare to breathe . Even our Father would also be well-behaved in front of the Little Demon Empressā¦ I heard from Mother once that back then, Father and the Little Demon Emperor went to the Northern Passes on the spur of the moment, and disappeared for a month without a word . When they came back, the Little Demon Emperor was beaten up by the Little Demon Empressā¦ and Father was beaten up along as well, with more than thirty bones broken, and had to lie in bed for half a monthā¦ā
āā¦Soā¦cruel!ā Yun Che listened with his heart jumping and his skin crawling .
āBut, even though the Little Demon Empress was always dominant, her personality wasnāt extreme, and it was hard not to respect and approve of her . When she was about twenty years old, she took over the Illusory Demon Royal Familyās affairs, and almost everything was taken care of perfectly; even the twelve guardian familyās Patriarchs were respectful to herā¦ until the news of the death of the previous Demon Emperor broke out . And after Little Demon Emperor passed away, her personality changed completely . Her aura, the expressions in her eyes, her actions, all became terrifying . Whenever she appeared, everyone became silent, and it seemed like during these past few hundred years, she had never smiled again . ā
Having just lost her father, and her brotherā¦ Mn, or husband, it would be strange if she didnāt resent or get mad! Yun Che thought, and said, āHer family is dead . Left alone with the purest Demon Emperorās bloodline, she not only bore the pain of losing her family, but also bore all the responsibility . At the same time, she is a woman . To inherit the position of Emperor, and be pressured by a number rejections, by political pressure, by gossipā¦ that could not be easy . In that situation, if she wasnāt strong and malicious, let alone a hundred years, she wouldnāt even have lasted for ten years . ā
āMn, mn!ā Xiao Yun nodded, āFather said the same thing! Father rarely compliments anyone, but these years, Father complimented the Little Demon Empress many times . At the same time, he also worried many times for the Demon Emperor Clanās future . After all, after the Little Demon Empress, there would never be another one with the Demon Emperorās pure bloodlineā¦ā
āWhatever, thatās the Little Demon Empressā problem . Not mentioning the future, itās uncertain that she would still be the Little Demon Empress even a month from now . That Duke Huai was not afraid to run rampant, and he also doesnāt seem to be afraid of the Little Demon Empress knowing about it . Seems like he is not only ambitious, but also very confident . ā Yun Che said, curling his lips .
One month later at the Demon Empressā Grand Ceremony, I should be able to see the legendary Little Demon Empressā¦ Yun Che lowered his eyebrows and mutteredā¦ your attitude, will determine whether or not I return that item to youā¦ or else, even though this is Grandfatherās dying wish, I will disobey! I hopeā¦ you will not disappoint me!
The ābig secretā that Grandfather wanted me to tell you, I will have to see if you have the ability to make me want to tell you myself!
As for the Mirror of Samsaraā¦ sorry, Iām not going to return it to your Demon Emperor Clan, because that already belongs to me!
