"Your Majesty, these are the two paintings drawn by Gong Wenwu. Would you like to take a look?"

Yan Jing giggled as she presented the paintings.

Lang Tao feigned great interest and took them over for a closer inspection.

In truth, he always held disdain for so-called scholars.

He similarly had little regard for paintings claiming to surpass the Grandmaster Realm.

However, as the Demon King, he had to put on a show of elegance and talent.

And so, the numerous ministers said nothing further.

They all gazed at Yan Jing and Yan Ya with peculiar eyes.

Thoroughly admiring their beauty.

Such beautiful women, and there were two standing together; truly a rare and enchanting sight.

Such an opportunity could not be missed.

Even the two esteemed giants from the Elephant Clan who had been lamenting earlier were not exempt from this.

After all, they had achieved their goal, as they were acutely aware that Lang Tao was luring Changwen to Wolf King City. Once Changwen arrived, he was as good as dead; the King would undoubtedly kill him and consume him to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation.

"It's truly beautiful, the painting skills have indeed reached an unbelievable level."

Even though Lang Tao was a simple brute and knew nothing about painting, Zhang Bin's artwork had reached an extraordinary stage.

Even those who understood nothing about painting could sense the wonder and magic in the paintings.

Thus, Lang Tao uttered such admiration.

His eyes sparkled with heat and greed as they roved over the two paintings.

The beauty of the two women was completely revealed as well.

A strong desire surged within his heart.

Only one of these beauties belonged to him, yet the other remained unattainable.

He was the Demon King, and yet he couldn't possess her?

How could that be?

Wouldn't that be a huge regret?

But Yan Ya was Yan Jing's niece, and Yan Jing was not only his Empress but also a super powerful giant, having cultivated to the Late Stage of Heavenly Demon.

If it weren't for the fact that in the Land Monster Race there were some terrifying monsters in seclusion for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years,

she might have become the New Demon King.

Therefore, with Yan Jing protecting Yan Ya, he had many apprehensions.

"Yan Ya, you're becoming more and more beautiful."

Lang Tao finally raised his head and cast his gaze onto Yan Ya's face, "I don't know, have you found someone you fancy? I heard He Qianqiu has been pursuing you all the while? How is it going now?"

"Thank you, Uncle, for the compliment." Yan Ya said, "Little Ya hasn't found anyone yet. Although He Qianqiu has indeed been pursuing me, I feel he's somewhat superficial."

"Hahaha..."

Lang Tao laughed excitedly, "Little Ya, so you've finally seen that White Crane's true nature. He's nothing but an embroidered pillow. Looks good but of no use. When faced with a true genius or a strong person, he would turn into a pile of crap."

"Your Majesty, you're absolutely right."

Yan Ya said with admiration on her face.

In the past, Lang Tao also said such things to her, but she had never taken them seriously.

But this time, with Zhang Bin's appearance, effortlessly overpowering the White Crane and making him his mount,

she understood that although Lang Tao was lustful, his vision was indeed sharp.

He judged people accurately.

"Little Ya, a true genius must be down-to-earth, quiet and unassuming, able to endure loneliness, endure toil, be brave and strong... must be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Demon Realm, must be the number one strong person in the world." Lang Tao said an endless number of adjectives, just shy of claiming that he, Lang Tao, was such a genius.

Finally, he said, "Next year, I will transcend the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection. I'm confident I can pass it. Little Ya, after I transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, I wish to take you to the Monster Realm, would you be willing?"

This was simply implying he wanted Yan Ya to be his woman.

And indeed, he had such qualifications and confidence.

Because now he had cultivated to the Peak of the Heavenly Demon Realm, truly the number one master on Earth.

Even if the Demon Sect Leader Mo Tunyu restored all his strength and cultivated to the Ascension Realm Late Stage, he wouldn't be his match.

Even the once mighty You Jiuxuan, without a body, wouldn't be his opponent either.

He used long years of hard cultivation to become as powerful as he was now.

Invincible in the world, looking down on everyone.

Moreover, he had strong confidence he could transcend the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection.

How could he not be the world's number one genius?

How could any beauty not be worth falling for?

Therefore, he felt sure Yan Ya would agree!

"Wow, His Majesty is actually pursuing Yan Ya in front of so many ministers. How much does he like her?"

"If His Majesty truly crosses the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection, then Yan Ya would be so lucky. She could directly go to the Monster Realm with His Majesty. What a rare opportunity! What a great fortune!"

All the ministers were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Only Zhang Bin was quite displeased, even though Yan Ya wasn't his woman, and he never considered making Yan Ya his woman, he was still unhappy.

However, he remained silent.

He believed Yan Ya would find a way to refuse.

After all, the Lang Tao before him was indeed terrifyingly powerful.

Though Zhang Bin was strong, if it came to fighting Lang Tao, he couldn't even escape for his life.

In fact, even against powerful figures like Betty and Yan Jing, he didn't have much confidence in escaping.

The gap in their realms was too vast.

Once his Moon Shatter Sword failed to pierce their Moon Palace, he wouldn't even be able to escape.

"Old bastard, still harboring a lustful heart, even planning to take my niece. I suppose you also want to take Daji and Yan Ni to the Monster Realm?"

Yan Jing was unhappy, but she was far too astute to show it.

"Your Majesty, after you cross the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection, then ask me again, okay?"

Yan Ya said shyly.

She appeared somewhat moved.

But in reality, she was refusing.

Truly worthy of being the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit.

Unfortunately, Lang Tao, holding the position of the Land Demon King, couldn't possibly lack cunning and intelligence as he straightened his face and coldly said, "Little Ya, don't you believe I can cross the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection? Don't you trust my genius?"

"Your Majesty, Little Ya certainly knows you are Earth's number one master and Earth's number one genius. I also believe you can cross the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ascension Realm Great Perfection. I just hope Your Majesty won't get distracted because of Little Ya, and work hard on cultivation, adjust your state of mind, and prepare for the most formidable heavenly calamity, to ascend to the Monster Realm." Yan Ya said unhurriedly.

"You..."

Lang Tao was nearly enraged to death, thinking you are my flaw, only by obtaining you can I fix my state of mind flaw. Yet he couldn't utter such words before the numerous ministers.
