Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

However, the disintegration of the Cang Yuan Sword also meant that the monster beast clan had lost its great chance of rising again. While rejoicing over the demon emperor’s safety, their hearts were also full of loss.

How many more years could they afford to wait? Even if they waited another ten thousand years, would there be such an opportunity again?

It was only after quite a while that the demon emperor wiped his tears and stood up, trembling. The wrinkles that were etched over his entire face seem to have multiplied and in just a split moment he seemed to have aged an additional ten years.

“Although the Cang Yuan Sword is lost, the promise I made with you will still come to pass. I will use the method of a blood offering to help you open the array core,” said the demon emperor to Huangfu Qingjue and Ling Chuxi once he stabilized his mind.

Ling Chuxi already knew of the consequences of a blood offering and never thought that at this moment the demon emperor still had the intention of honoring his earlier promise. Due to this, her respect toward the demon emperor increased.

Her heart carried some feelings of guilt. If it were not for her, perhaps the demon emperor might have been able to obtain the Cang Yuan Sword Essence after all. So to say, it was her who had destroyed the ten-thousand-year-old hope of the monster beast clan.

“Master, let me do it instead,” said Zhen Ye. He did not try to persuade the demon emperor with words anymore and instead took a step forward to stand before him after volunteering.

Ling Chuxi took a couple of looks at Zhen Ye in appreciation. Although this red-haired demon emperor successor was quite unreasonable and incoherent when was talking nonsense, he seemed to be courageous and upright.

How would she know that the pitiful little demon emperor was not unreasonable and incoherent at all, but was truly too embarrassed to speak out on what really happened. It was a matter of being touched inappropriately by a human, how could he straightforwardly talk about it confidently?

“With your cultivation, even if you offered your blood, it would still be insufficient. I am already old. Just let me do this. The monster beast clan will now be handed over to you,” said the demon emperor, looking at Zhen Ye kindly as he spoke.

“Your Excellency, I will definitely honor my promise. I also hope that you can remember your words of before,” continued the demon emperor, speaking to Huangfu Qingjue this time.

Only then did Ling Chuxi understand that the demon emperor clearly knew that relying on the Cang Yuan Sword to rise again was no longer of any hope, so he had placed all his hope on Huangfu Qingjue instead, sacrificing his life without a care for anything else in exchange for the fulfilment of Huangfu Qingjue’s promise.

Huangfu Qingjue nodded solemnly.

The demon emperor looked as if he had shed a heavy burden and was about to prepare to begin the blood offering.

Seeing the determination on the demon emperor’s face, not to mention Zhen Ye and the rest of the monster beasts, even Ling Chuxi’s heart was a little unwilling to let this situation proceed. Everyone knew what this meant. The moment the blood offering was completed, the demon emperor would fall right here.

Ling Chuxi’s mind was racing. The demon emperor mentioned that the Cang Yuan Sword’s birth was the opportunity the monster beast clan was awaiting for ten thousand years for them to rise once again, but he did not mention what exactly it was about this opportunity that would enable them to do so. And clearly wanting to obtain the Cang Yuan Sword was also the only single-minded thought of his successor, Zhen Ye as well.

However, no matter what the reason was, the Cang Yuan Sword’s sword essence was definitely related greatly to the longed-for rise of the monster beasts.

Ling Chuxi thought about it and her hand subconsciously held onto her sword’s hilt.

“Your guess is not wrong. The monster beast clan’s revival is indeed greatly related to me,” said the Cang Yuan Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly in her mind.

“What?” Ling Chuxi exclaimed aloud.

“What? What is it?” asked the demon emperor as he stopped and looked at Ling Chuxi oddly. Even Zhen Ye and the rest also looked over at her doubtfully.

Only then did Ling Chuxi realize that she was still not used to keeping such interactions in her mind yet and the words she intended to say in her mind had involuntarily left her mouth. This habit needed to be changed, otherwise if she kept speaking to herself in moments of carelessness like this, other people would think that she had lost soul sickness.

“Oh, nothing. I was just thinking out loud. Lord Demon Emperor only mentioned that the appearance of the Cang Yuan Sword was a great opportunity for the monster beast clan to rise again, but he did not say how the Cang Yuan Sword would help with that, and he also did not mention how the monster beast clan planned on obtaining the Cang Yuan Sword, right?” Ling Chuxi had some idea of what to say based on what the sword spirit’s voice was saying to her in her mind.
