Chapter 1756: Chapter 835: We’ll Talk About It Later
There’s no denying, Su Ziyue is truly a rare beauty in the human world, especially now that her cultivation is rising, and the nine-tailed heavenly fox bloodline within her has been fully awakened.
She becomes even more irresistible.
"There has been some change indeed." Su Ziyue stood behind Chen Yuan, her face flushed, clearly benefiting from significant nourishment.
"When we march south against the Southern Border demons, we can draw the divine blood of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, allowing you to ascend another level."
Su Ziyue’s cultivation differs from ordinary people; strictly speaking, she’s a half-demon who can enhance her physical form by consuming divine blood. Even if the path of the Primordial Spirit is blocked for her in the future,
she can still reach the Demon God realm.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she fully converts her bloodline.
"There’s no rush at the moment, you should focus on your important matters first." Through Yang Huatian, Jiang He, and others, she had already learned about the battle that took place that day in Central State,
directly engaging in warfare with the Immortal Domain, where the casualties were gruesome.
If not for the sudden appearance of Grand Ancestor Chu, the Yan Army might have faced disaster.
In battles of such magnitude, even the Yang God True Monarch did not have the qualification to participate; one can imagine how terrifying it was. She also understood the immense pressure Chen Yuan was bearing now.
"Heh, annihilating the demon clan is also a significant task." Chen Yuan said with a light smile; he wanted to raise his realm in a short period of time, for which the guidance of the Qi Fortune Altar was indispensable.
And on Demon Emperor Mo Ying rests the Qi Fortune he needs to acquire.
But compared to the Northern Barbarians and Buddhists, the Southern Border demon clan’s strength is greater. Although it seemed that the demon clan only had a few great demons,
their foundation was incredibly deep.
The Southern Border is named such only due to its geographical location being north of the Central Plains. In fact, the expanse of the Southern Border is no less than that of the Central Plains, if not larger.
It’s just that resources aren’t as abundant.
With such a vast territory, who would believe there aren’t a few powerful figures?
Therefore, Chen Yuan’s established goal is to first eliminate the Buddhist sect, then launch a campaign northward, finally gathering forces to annihilate the Southern Border demon clan in one fell swoop, and afterwards, to rally the power of the human world and battle against the Immortal Domain!
"Since arriving, I’ve met with Princess Pingyang, heard she... wants to be the Empress?" Su Ziyue shifted the topic from the prior discussion to Princess Pingyang.
She knew Chen Yuan always had goals in mind, understanding what should and shouldn’t be done; over-talking wouldn’t help, so she opted for casual talk.
"That seems to be the idea, what do you think?" Chen Yuan chuckled.
Having just recovered from a string of battles, he didn’t want to immediately dive into other tasks; it’s like stretching a string—keeping it taut all the time isn’t good.
Cultivation, especially after entering the Six Realms, requires enlightenment from understanding the universe to advance one’s realm.
Urgency is certainly there, but Chen Yuan wouldn’t lose himself in madness, which would hinder cultivation even more, so after exiting seclusion and meeting Su Ziyue, he indulged a bit.
To relax his own state of mind.
"As a woman, what can I say? Haven’t you, Lord Regent, always decided that? Even if I were to be sent to the Cold Palace, I would just accept my fate...." Su Ziyue looked at Chen Yuan with a slightly resentful gaze, appearing pitifully at him.
For those who didn’t know, they might really believe Su Ziyue to be some innocent lotus flower.
"You, Daoist Su, are not a weak woman; I can’t even control you." Chen Yuan laughed as he bantered with Su Ziyue.
"Good that you know." Su Ziyue giggled.
Ever since Chen Yuan’s cultivation surpassed hers, she couldn’t tease Chen Yuan effectively; her little tricks wouldn’t stand a chance before him.
"Pingyang is quite capable, and holds control in the court for quite a while; even if there’s no contribution, there’s hard work. You probably don’t like harem trivialities—how about making her the Imperial Concubine?"
Su Ziyue is not someone who comes and goes at anyone’s beck and call. Whether it’s her talent or the shared journey they’ve been through, from the beginning to where they are now, Chen Yuan deeply respects her.
As the future head of the harem, naturally, he has to seek her opinion.
"Phooey..." Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan, snorting lightly:
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. There’s still Dowager Yang in the harem, who is Pingyang’s mother. Are you trying to gather all the women together?"
Su Ziyue looked at Chen Yuan with a perceptive expression, aware of many secrets despite her usual uninvolvement, well understanding Chen Yuan’s intentions.
Chen Yuan cleared his throat, adjusting his face:
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such things?"
"Really? Then how did Sister Xu come to be, how about Sister Yu? And the two foxes from the Heavenly Demon Hall, hmph... I see you’re even planning on getting Sister Su Qing, aiming for a master-disciple relationship...."
"Ziyue, you might be misjudging me, I..."
"Why are you in a hurry to deny it? I don’t have any objections; I’m just curious, if..." Su Ziyue deliberated for a moment, chuckling quietly:
"When you and those women are together, let me watch."
Chen Yuan’s forehead started to bead with sweat...
...
After the conversation, Chen Yuan left the Stargazing Tower for the harem, while Su Ziyue had many tasks at hand, especially as the Regent Princess when Chen Yuan didn’t want to show himself.
There were many matters that needed her decision.
As for the ironclad rule that the harem shall not meddle in politics, it did not apply to her. Moreover, Su Ziyue’s status and prestige were sufficient to support a whole sky, not to mention dealing with several immortals.
