Chapter 1442: Chapter 502: Snatching Disciples is the Way
"Chi Chi, how many times have I told you, you can’t just talk about a fiancé willy-nilly, you must listen to the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker."
Chi Ye pulled a stern face.
With so many people inside Qianyu Hall, Chi Chi shouted like that, many people heard it, and if it spread out, it would be bad for Chi Chi’s reputation. How would she get married in the future?
"You unfilial son, shut up. You have the cheek to talk about parental orders. You keep calling me an Old Bastard; if one day I really die, it would be because you angered me to death." Who knew the beautiful woman heard him and glared at Chi Ye.
As soon as she turned away, the beautiful woman was all smiles again.
"My daughter is still well-behaved; she went out once, not only transformed into human form but also found a suitable husband. Look at this young man, how good he looks, oh, and he has Sky Demon bloodline, not bad at all. Just a bit weak in demonic power, and there’s too much human aura on him."
The beautiful woman looked Little Jiunian up and down with a smile like the Wolf Grandmother.
"I’ve decided—for the future happiness of our Chi Chi—from tomorrow onwards, you will learn Demon Art with me."
Chi Ye nearly fainted from anger upon hearing this.
"Wait, I brought this kid here; I’ll be responsible for his daily cultivation."
He had originally planned to send Little Jiunian as far away as possible under the guise of cultivation.
If this old woman takes a fancy to him and teaches him a body full of Demon Art, wouldn’t that cause trouble for himself... Chi Ye’s nose started to ache again.
"Pah, unfilial son, you big oaf who grows tall but not brains—what do you know about cultivation? Do you think my prospective son-in-law is like your demon soldiers and generals? If you train him to ruin, where would I find another?" The beautiful woman waved her hand and happily made the decision.
She has Eyes of Golden Flame and could tell with one glance that the prospective son-in-law has uncommon talent.
Little Chi Chi’s body has a portion of the Sky Demon bloodline, and more impressively, from a young age, he has consumed various Spirit Fruits and even some Spirit Pills provided by Ye Lingyue from Hong Meng Heaven.
Although not a pure-bred Sky Demon, his physique even surpasses a typical Sky Demon. Just this alone makes the beautiful woman extremely satisfied.
Back then, she was terribly unfortunate, raising this unfilial son with care, only to let her guard down and teach herself a rival.
Constantly opposing her, nearly angering her to death, yet this unfilial son now has heightened cultivation, and she can only fight him to a draw at best.
Every fight leaves her exhausted, her old back sore and aching, and if she’s not careful, she might gain a few extra wrinkles.
Once she finishes training Little Jiunian, she will have someone to care for her daughter and someone to discipline her son. Thinking of such a life, the beautiful woman sees a bright future and feels immensely satisfied with her decision.
"Little Jiunian, aren’t you going to thank my mother—not, not, call her Master."
Upon hearing this, little Chi Chi quickly urged Little Jiunian to become a disciple.
Little Jiunian was also quite clever. He looked at the beautiful woman and Chi Ye fighting to a draw; in terms of temperament, Chi Ye was defeated before her, so in Beiyu Palace, who would dare bully him? No mistake in becoming her disciple.
He quickly knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times to the beautiful woman.
"Have any of you heard me, the Emperor, talking? This kid belongs to me..."
Chi Ye roared angrily, but the beautiful woman and little Chi Chi paid him no mind.
"Dear disciple, you and Chi Chi traveled all this Heavenly Road; you must be tired. Go wash up and have a meal, and I’ll come see you later."
The beautiful woman ordered someone to take little Chi Chi and Little Jiunian away. Watching the two young fellows leaving hand in hand, the beautiful woman smiled with delight.
"Mother, you wouldn’t really accept that kid as a disciple, would you?"
Chi Ye questioned the beautiful woman indignantly once his sister had gone far enough.
"So you still acknowledge me as your mother, huh? Just now, you kept calling me an Old Bastard."
The beautiful woman said leisurely.
"Mother, if you weren’t forcing me to marry, I wouldn’t..."
Chi Ye grimaced.
"Wouldn’t what? Wouldn’t have thrown the eighteen beauties I gifted you into the Beast Cave, or wouldn’t have stripped the General’s eldest daughter naked and hung her at the city gate." Whenever the beautiful woman brings these things up, she feels chest pain and shortness of breath, almost fainting.
Chi Ye knew this time, his mother was genuinely angry, and he had no choice but to let her rant by his ear.
"You are six hundred years old, for goodness’ sake. In the Demon Clan, six hundred is already an over-the-hill bachelor. Look at those who grew up with you, not only with offspring, but even grandchildren and great-grandchildren have got on the battlefield killing enemies. And you, don’t speak of demon empress or demon concubine, haven’t shown a whisker to me. Do you think you’re worthy of the ancestors of the Chi Family, or your citizens?"
The beautiful woman is most troubled by the marriage of the Beiyu Emperor.
As the demon emperor of the demon world’s empire, offspring are of utmost importance.
But her unfilial son has failed to fancy a female demon for hundreds of years.
Initially, the beautiful woman’s criteria for a daughter-in-law were noble and dignified daughters of Demon Clan Nobles, but later, her standards descended to mixed-blood demons, and even later reached human and demon accepted, and then finally, any female would do.
Yet the more this happened, the more resistant Chi Ye became.
Eventually, the relationship between mother and son developed to the point of physical conflict.
"Mother, stop always diverting the discussion to marriage whenever I try to discuss serious matters with you. The disciple and my marriage matters are two separate things. You can take anyone as a disciple, but not this kid. Do you know, whose son he is, he is Yan Jiu’s son. Yan Jiu, who is the close brother of my mortal enemy Di Shen. You teaching his son Demon Art, isn’t that turning outwardly?"
Chi Ye fears nothing more than when marriage is mentioned.
Don’t think he doesn’t know, the entire Beiyu Palace is discussing his marriage and sexual orientation issues.
He isn’t fond of men; he differs from typical demons who pursue carnal desires and polygamy. He doesn’t want to marry carelessly for carnal desires.
What’s more, Chi Ye has a temperamental, female tyrant-like mother, having grown up under her high-pressure training, making him naturally repelled by women.
"Yan Jiu, Di Shen, you mean that Demon Ancestor group? My, hasn’t the Demon Ancestor perished over five hundred years ago, could the rumors be true, has the Moonflower King reappeared in the Human Realm, the Demon Ancestor reborn?"
Upon hearing the name Demon Ancestor Di Shen, the beautiful woman set aside her anger and her face turned more solemn.
This seemingly temperamental beautiful woman is none other than the famous Empress Dowager Chi of Beiyu Palace.
Her real name is Hu Yue, who took the surname of her husband after marrying Chi Ye’s father.
In the entire demon world, she is the only woman comparable to Empress South Nether Xiyan.
Beiyu Palace’s rise amid chaos was largely due to this legendary Empress Dowager.
