Chapter 1594: Chapter 99: Finding a Young Wife for Shou Zhe

…

“So it was you, that old shameless fool!” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor also recognized Longchang, and a sharp anger flared in her phoenix-like eyes. “You dared to extract top-quality Spirit Veins near the borders of our All Saints’ Kingdom and, after I stopped you, you even had the gall to speak rudely! Who else am I supposed to hit if not you?”

Old shameless fool? Speaking rudely?

Wang Shouzhe and King Chaoyang both cast skeptical glances at Emperor Longchang. This old scoundrel wouldn’t have taken liberties with the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor just because she’s beautiful, would he?

Given His Majesty’s shameless reputation, it wouldn’t be entirely out of character.

From what Shouzhe knows, it seems that back in his younger days, he even once peeked at his sister-in-law bathing and had the audacity to be unapologetic after getting caught.

“Hey, hey! What’s with those looks?” Emperor Longchang protested angrily, his face dark. “I’ve been an emperor for thousands of years. Haven’t I seen enough beautiful women? Do I look like I need to stoop to that level?”

Fair point.

Wang Shouzhe’s expression softened, and he cupped his hands in apology toward Longchang. “It seems I have misunderstood His Majesty this time.”

“Never mind, never mind. I’ve grown used to being misunderstood by you, so I’m too lazy to argue.” Emperor Longchang waved his hand authoritatively. “It’s true that the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s bloodline is very pure. If I were to marry her off as a concubine to Shouzhe, who knows? We might produce offspring with exceptional Wood-Type talent, contributing to the improvement of the Human race’s bloodline.”

“But who would’ve thought, when I casually mentioned it, the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor not only failed to appreciate the gesture but went so far as to attack me! Hmph, if my Canglong Sword had been with me, I would’ve shown that ungrateful demon woman a lesson. Shouzhe, I said all this for your sake, and for the future of the Human race.”

Why, thank you so much, Your Majesty, for thinking of me~~

Wang Shouzhe was drenched in cold sweat.

Such talk! It’s no wonder the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor was provoked into attacking. If it wasn’t for the temporary inability to overpower Longchang, even he would have felt like giving this rotten old man a good beating. Why don’t you go contribute to the future of humanity yourself?

Unexpectedly, King Chaoyang seemed intrigued by the words, her eyes lighting up as she nodded. “Longchang’s suggestion isn’t entirely without merit. Although this king doesn’t fully understand how extraordinary Shouzhe’s lineage is, the fact that it healed my injuries is already unique enough. If there’s a chance to nurture superior Wood-Type Phoenix Bloodline descendants, perhaps even propagating a lineage, it would significantly benefit the Human race’s overall prospects.”

Human-demon hybrids have never been particularly rare throughout history. Even today, people like Ji Yueer occasionally exhibit atavistic traits, and it’s no longer unusual to see cases like hers.

As she spoke, King Chaoyang began scrutinizing the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor from head to toe. Her gaze gleamed with unusual light, as though preparing to move—not to catch a person, but to catch a phoenix.

On the other side, Wang Shouzhe was sweating profusely and had no time to voice his objection before hearing the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s furious roar: “To make this Demon Emperor bow to that Human Great Demon King? Dream on! I’d rather die!”

As she spoke, a towering aura surged from her body, and Wood-Type spiritual energy erupted violently, instantly enveloping Li Huo, Primordial Water—two plump companions—along with Cui’er by her side.

At the same time, she raised her hand casually, and a phantom-like claw swipe flashed by. Behind her, a dark spatial fissure suddenly appeared.

In the next moment, her green figure flickered, and she had already disappeared into the spatial rift.

“Trying to escape in front of me?!” King Chaoyang’s eyes sparkled sharply. With a sweep of her sleeve, a spatial fissure tore open beside her. Her figure flickered, and she was the first to chase after. “Yuangang, Longchang, Zhencang, help me catch a concubine for Shouzhe.”

“Let’s go, let’s go! Shouzhe, let’s join in.” Emperor Longchang, looking as though he had been injected with vigor, grabbed Wang Shouzhe by the arm and tore through the spatial barrier to chase after.

The reason Transcendent Void Realm elites are admired by the masses is inseparable from their mastery of spatial teleportation techniques. With this ability, whether to cut into or retreat from a battlefield, it’s almost impossible to guard against.

However, when similarly skilled Transcendent Void Realm cultivators are tracking you, relying solely on spatial teleportation to escape isn’t easy. Tearing open space inevitably generates violent spatial fluctuations, and other Transcendent Void elites can easily follow the trajectory of teleportation to pursue.

What followed was a chaotic hunt involving four Transcendent Void Realm elites chasing down the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor and her party.

One has to admit, the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor dared to venture deep into Human territory because she has extraordinary capabilities. In terms of cultivation base alone, she has already reached the pinnacle of Level Eleven, proficient in various escape techniques, and as a bird by nature, her flight speed is far superior to ordinary Transcendent Void cultivators.

But even though she is incredibly talented, her opponents consisted of four Transcendent Void elites, one of whom was King Chaoyang, a renowned Military Goddess of the Human race. Her power is at Level Seven of the Transcendent Void Realm, a solid advanced stage expert who ranks among the Human race’s top masters.

Throughout her life, King Chaoyang has experienced countless wars, and the number of Transcendent Void Realm foreign demon kings who have died by her hand is far more than one. Her combat experience far surpasses that of figures like Jiang Zhencang and Emperor Longchang, who rarely engage in fights despite presiding over territories for years.

Additionally, King Chaoyang’s husband, Yao Yuangang, is also no ordinary figure. Having followed King Chaoyang his entire life, he has always been the man silently supporting her from behind. Their mutual understanding and seamless coordination make their efforts in blocking demons remarkably smooth.

Under such circumstances, the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor found herself in a very sorry state.

Several times she was cornered by the four, enduring heavy attacks that broke many of her feathers. However, she was, after all, a Demon Emperor of exceptional prowess, armed with countless trump cards. Several times, she managed to escape using various secret techniques and ultimate moves.
