Moreover, the stronger the Demon Clan becomes, the more they can transform to resemble the Human Race. Why is that, I wonder!
At this moment, Ye Luo has transformed into the likeness of the Third Prince of the Demon Clan, to such an extent that itâs impossible to tell unless someone directly probes Ye Luoâs Divine Soul. Otherwise, it is impossible to detect.
Of course, no one would dare to do that.
"Whatâs all this noise? Someone come in here and tidy up! A bunch of useless people, asked you all to prepare a gift for Mu Xin, and yet itâs not ready! I really wonder why I keep you around!"
As he spoke, Ye Luo kicked open the door and walked straight out, leaving behind a Pill Furnace burning with flames in the room.
Naturally, that Pill Furnace belonged to the original Third Prince, but now, it had been destroyed by Ye Luo.
The guards dared not speak and, seeing Ye Luo emerge, all bowed respectfully. But Ye Luo paid them no mind and walked straight out, appearing to be worried about something.
...
"Prince must be worrying about the Princessâs gathering again..."
"Certainly, since the prince just managed to get an invitation a few days ago, heâs been preparing a gift, though nothing seems suitable."
"Itâs not our princeâs fault; thatâs the Great Tang Empireâs Princess we are talking about. What treasure hasnât she seen? Well, we arenât qualified to comment on this matter."
Behind Ye Luo, voices of the guardsâ discussions reached him, but he paid no mind. It seems itâs necessary to contact the Emperor of Great Tang. If heâs going to make me work for him, why wonât he help? If not now, then when?
Ye Luo took out his original wristband from the Qiankun Ring, since he could not reveal this item openly now and had to keep it in the Qiankun Ring.
The Emperor of Great Tang had already gone to bed, but Ye Luo wasnât concerned with that. As for this Emperor, Ye Luo wasnât showing any favor for him right now!
"Your Highness, His Majesty is asleep. If you have any matters, why not wait until tomorrow?"
The one who picked up was a close eunuch of the Emperor of Great Tang, but Ye Luo did not care about that.
"Heâs asleep, so you canât wake him? Go tell father that I have urgent matters that must be discussed with him now, regarding the Demon Clan. If delayed, even if you have ten heads, it wonât be enough to chop off!"
The eunuch was startled; the reputation of the Ninth Prince as the Demon King was no joke. When angry, the Ninth Prince could slaughter a city. With the eunuchâs small stature, even if a million heads were chopped off by Ninth Prince, it wouldnât suffice!
Waking His Majesty would likely incur punishment, but at least he could keep his life. If he offended the Ninth Prince, his life would truly be at risk.
Thus, the eunuch didnât dare hesitate and quickly ran to the sleeping chambers of the Emperor of Great Tang.
Ye Luoâs voice was very small, and his actions were rather discreet. After all, he was surrounded by the guards of the Demon Clan, so he couldnât leave any trace of suspicion.
However, the Demon Clan guards understood that their Prince was currently distressed, so they didnât dare come too close.
Soon after, the voice of the Emperor of Great Tang was heard: "Does the prince seek me now for something urgent?"
One could tell the Emperor of Great Tang was not in a good mood. Of course, if Ye Luo were woken from slumber, his mood wouldnât be pleasant either!
"Father, your son has successfully replaced the Demon Clanâs Third Prince. Currently, I am speaking to you under the guise of the Demon Clanâs Third Prince. However, Father, I am disturbing you at this hour because there is a crucial matter for which I must seek your counsel!"
"Oh, so fast?" The Emperor of Great Tang was slightly stunned, as his arrangements had yet to be implemented. Ye Luo had already completed the replacement task, which naturally surprised him.
"Speak, whatever it is, as long as I can help you, I definitely will."
The Emperor of Great Tangâs tone carried joy. In his view, successfully replacing the Third Prince was a significant victory. Not long from now, he might possess two countries, wielding Da Yue Empire through military prowess!
Naturally, he wouldnât refuse anything Ye Luo requested at the moment.
However, Ye Luoâs subsequent words took the joy from the Emperor of Great Tang!
"Father, itâs like this; you should know that the reason the Third Prince is staying in the Great Tang Empire is because of the Royal Sister. Furthermore, the Third Prince has already reported this to the Demon King, so..."
The Emperor of Great Tang was well aware, even touched upon it briefly in the information given to Ye Luo. But hearing Ye Luoâs words, the Emperorâs expression changed dramatically.
Officially, Ye Luo is, after all, his ninth son. Yet now, his adopted son was wooing his real daughter!
The most critical point is that it was indirectly authorized by him!
What kind of situation is this?
If it were another princess, the Emperor of Great Tang might not care so much, but this was the Princess, the most cherished Princess!
For a moment, the Emperor of Great Tang was silent!
Ye Luo naturally didnât speak either. Honestly, making the Emperor of Great Tang feel aggrieved was rather enjoyable.
A moment later, the Emperor of Great Tangâs voice returned: "Fine, I know of this matter. Since the Demon Clanâs Third Prince has reported it to the Demon King, you neednât cause suspicion by breaking the agreement. Continue to behave as the Third Prince does about this, and I will not interfere!"
The Emperor of Great Tang thought to himself, since Ye Luo reported to him, heâd certainly have a sense of scale and wouldnât truly commit to it!
Too bad, Ye Luo had already resolved to go through with it. Why not woo the Royal Sister, the Great Tang Empireâs Princess?
Even if making such intentions seem proper, Ye Luo is not one to waste chances!
Moreover, the prerequisite for activating the Heavenly Dragon Vitality is to acquire the Human Emperorâs Bloodline, meaning basically, he needs to find a princess to that end.
Now that he could openly pursue the Princess of the Great Tang Empire, Ye Luo would definitely not waste the opportunity!
After all, after being a pawn for so long, itâs about time to collect some interests!
Ending the conversation, Ye Luo thought about the aggrieved look of the Emperor of Great Tang, which lifted his spirits considerably. Unconsciously, a smile appeared as he headed back to his room.
...
"Whatâs gotten into the prince today, why is he suddenly so happy?"
"Who knows, but probably he thought of something regarding tomorrowâs gift-giving. The hierarchy in the Great Tang Empire is strict, unlike the freedom we enjoy in Da Yue Empire. Unfortunately, the prince chose the status of a downcast merchant before this, sigh; who knows what tomorrow will bring!"
"Humph, regardless of how things turn out, anyone who dares insult the prince shall not be spared!"
