She looked at the spirited, rosy-cheeked child before her.
"How long do you intend to hold me, Demon Emperor?"
Her voice was cold, seemingly devoid of any emotion.
Previously, to guide their Divine Spirits, Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi had naturally embraced each other intimately.
Xu Chang’an didn’t answer, but his actions spoke for him.
He released the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, got up, and stepped away from the bed.
"The matter is concluded. The Peacock King’s wish has been fulfilled. I will take my leave now!"
With the opportunity secured, Xu Chang’an had no intention of lingering.
He wanted to avoid any unexpected complications.
Just moments ago, they were intimately entwined, their Divine Spirits merging in shared bliss. Now, the second it was over, he was ready to turn his back on her and leave.
If not for their unique circumstances, Xu Chang’an’s behavior was undoubtedly what the Human Race would call a scumbag!
A halo of light flowed, and the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, was once again clad in her Colorful Palace Attire.
She also rose to her feet, partially blocking Xu Chang’an’s path.
"Demon Emperor, a moment!"
In that instant, alarm bells went off in Xu Chang’an’s mind.
As she emerged from that endless, beautiful bliss, her Divine Spirit returned to her.
The Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, could clearly feel that the shackles and restraints on her body had completely vanished at that moment.
With the Power of Restriction gone, and thanks to the recent opportunity, her future was now a wide-open path to the heavens.
On the bed, which shimmered with seven-colored Spiritual Light, the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was the spirited, rosy-cheeked child before her.
The child was stark naked, pressed intimately against her in an embrace.
"How long do you intend to hold me, Demon Emperor?"
The Peacock King, Chu Xianyi’s voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.
He said nothing, instantly pulling away and leaving the bed.
His decisiveness was difficult to describe in words.
"The matter is concluded. The Peacock King’s wish has been fulfilled. I will take my leave now!"
His voice rang out, filled with the intention to depart.
In fact, if not for the Array Restriction within the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace, which required her to release it for him to come and go freely...
...she suspected he wouldn’t have even said that much and would have just turned and left directly!
’Such behavior!’
’And...’
’The Peacock King’s wish has been fulfilled!’
’What wish!?’
’What is he referring to!?’
’The ambiguity in that statement is immense!’
However, these thoughts merely flashed through the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi’s mind for an instant.
"Demon Emperor, a moment!"
She stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
Alarm bells went off in Xu Chang’an’s mind.
He looked at the cold, stunning beauty partially blocking his way—the very same one he had just shared bliss with.
’What’s the meaning of this!?’
’Chu Xianyi’s restraints are gone. Is she planning to turn on me!?’
Thoughts raced through Xu Chang’an’s mind.
However, this was a situation he had fully assessed, anticipated, and prepared for long before he ever set foot on Peacock Mountain.
Xu Chang’an, his face devoid of expression, looked at the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, and said coolly.
"What is the meaning of this, Peacock King!? Could it be that you can’t bear for me to leave!? Do you wish to enjoy another round of pleasure?"
It wasn’t that Xu Chang’an was intentionally trying to provoke her; rather, he wanted to use this to gauge the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi’s true intentions.
As if recalling something, a flash of shame and anger crossed the Peacock King’s face. But in the next instant, she had returned to her cold and stunning demeanor.
Without directly answering Xu Chang’an’s question, the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, simply handed him a Jade Scroll.
"Please take a look, Demon Emperor!"
Xu Chang’an accepted the Jade Scroll. He scanned it with his Demon Sense and found no obvious abnormalities.
He then began to inspect the information within the Jade Scroll.
The Jade Scroll contained a great deal of information.
Previously, the relationship between the Thundering Mountain Range and the Human Race’s Yanyue Sect had deteriorated into a standoff over a Secret Realm.
During the standoff, the Secret Realm opened, and many factions got involved.
It wasn’t just the various powers represented by the Thundering Mountain Range and the Human Race’s Yanyue Sect. Many factions from the neighboring Bauhinia Mountain Range and Luozhao Mountain Range also participated.
Inside the Secret Realm, multiple parties vied for control, with numerous Demon Kings taking part. By a stroke of luck, the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, also gained considerable benefits.
The Power of Restriction on her body had come from that very Secret Realm!
Besides her, many other factions had also profited from the Secret Realm.
Among them, a Demon King at the Peak of Late-stage Core Formation from the Celestial Pool Cave had used an opportunity from the Secret Realm to undergo Pill Transformation to Nascent Soul, stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm and becoming an Unparalleled Demon King.
This Unparalleled Demon King was none other than the Cyan Pool Demon King!
With that, two Unparalleled Demon Kings now existed in the Thundering Mountain Range.
The two Unparalleled Demon Kings hailed from different places—one from Thundering Mountain, the other from the Celestial Pool Cave.
This naturally led to friction and entanglement. Even if the two Unparalleled Demon Kings had no personal animosity...
...the numerous Demon Kings and Great Demons under their two powers would gradually begin to struggle against each other.
To alleviate the internal conflicts of the Thundering Mountain Range, a large-scale war with the Human Race’s Yanyue Sect was initiated under the direction of the two Unparalleled Demon Kings.
The Red Cloud Mountain Range’s previous direct strike into the heartland of the Human Race was also part of this war!
’I can’t believe the Cyan Pool Demon King’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm and ascension to Unparalleled Demon King was related to this Secret Realm.’
’A Secret Realm that contains the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul Realm... The foundation and scale of such a place must be incredibly profound!’
As Xu Chang’an read the information on the Jade Scroll, he secretly pondered and analyzed it.
That Secret Realm, due to the participation of numerous Demon Kings, had supposedly had its opportunities almost completely explored.
However, the benefit the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, had obtained within the Secret Realm pointed directly to a much greater opportunity and secret.
The Secret Realm that had been revealed to all the factions was merely a peripheral, subordinate realm.
The true Secret Realm lay deeper within!
When he read this, Xu Chang’an’s heart trembled slightly. On the surface, however, he remained perfectly composed.
