Capítulo 2227: Chapter 253: Shouzhe’s Courtyard! The Pivotal Meeting of Human History_3

“Oh my~ Old Ancestor, so many people are watching~” Shentu Jingming wailed incessantly.

“Hmph!” The Demon Emperor released him and gave a cold snort to Wang Shouzhe, “Young Master Shouzhe, you really are quite the schemer. You’re trying to make my Shentu Clan pledge allegiance to you, tying us to the same boat~”

“However, if Chao Qiancuo lives or dies, at that time, the one holding the ‘Ming Sha True Demon Scripture’ would be Wang Ruobing. And Ruobing is someone from your Immortal Dynasty. At that time, the balance of power between the Immortal and Demon Dynasties would be broken, and it will surely affect the power structure of the entire Divine Martial World. You must give me a clear explanation of this matter.”

“The balance of power between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Dynasty?” Wang Shouzhe glanced at the Demon Emperor with a half-smile, “Your Majesty, considering that you, the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Supreme, these three True Immortal and True Demon Realm experts, are not taking action. What do you think we plan to use to besiege Chao Qiancuo?”

“…”

The Red Hell Demon Emperor’s expression froze.

He had been too focused on weighing the pros and cons, and it was only now that he realized.

That’s right, Wang Shouzhe made it clear earlier that neither he nor the Immortal Emperor Muyun needed to participate in the siege. And now, judging from his tone, even Old Man Ling Xuan wouldn’t participate. But the Human race doesn’t have that many True Immortal and True Demon Realm experts…

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off, and his face suddenly changed dramatically: “You mean to say you already…”

In an instant, the Red Hell Demon Emperor felt a chill run down his spine.

Because what Wang Shouzhe said was “siege,” not “exterminate”!

With numbers against fewer, and at least a three-on-one scenario, it’s only then called a “siege,” right? Just how much strength is the Immortal Dynasty hiding?!

In that moment, the Demon Emperor truly wanted to ask, to find out exactly who would besiege Chao Qiancuo, and just how many True Immortal Realms the Immortal Dynasty still had. However, when the words were about to leave his mouth, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

First, because he knew, this was undoubtedly a secret of the Immortal Dynasty, and it was inappropriate for him to ask.

Secondly, he truly felt a bit scared, afraid that Wang Shouzhe would give an answer that would frighten him.

Forget it~ He didn’t ask. When the dust settles, everything that should be known will be known.

“Your Majesty, think again, this time Chao Qiancuo, just to deal with our Wang family, moved his lips a little, and all those vassal states and various forces took action immediately. Does Your Majesty not feel respected?” Wang Shouzhe raised another sharp question.

“Hmph!” The Red Hell Demon Emperor’s face changed unpredictably. After a long silence, he finally made up his mind, “Fine, I will let Crown Prince Jingming and Elder Zhuo assist you. You can record the process however you wish. However, I have one condition.”

“Oh, please tell me, Your Majesty.” Wang Shouzhe’s face remained calm, as if he had anticipated this.

“I want that boy Fugui to marry Zhao Yu as his wife.” The Demon Emperor waved his robe, speaking with great momentum.

“Ah!”

Wang Fugui looked shocked.

As a junior, because he had Old Ancestor Grandpa making decisions, he was just quietly serving tea to the elders, not saying a word. Little did he know, the Demon Emperor would suddenly bring this up to him.

“Red Hell, you old thing, don’t you have any shame?” The Immortal Emperor Muyun nearly exploded with anger, “Our Princess Chuan Nan has long had a betrothal with Fugui.”

“What else can I do?” The Demon Emperor pointed at Wang Shouzhe, looking aggrieved and helpless, “Your Young Master Shouzhe is even more frightening than Fugui, able to calculate even the Demon Lord to death. I’m also afraid of being used and discarded, like when the rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked. Only when Wang Fugui marries Zhao Yu, and the Wang family bloodline contains my Shentu Clan’s bloodline, can I feel at ease and ally with you.”

“Besides, that scoundrel Fugui has long been called the ‘Number One Prodigal Son of the Human Race.’ His relationships with both Princess Zhao Yu and Princess Chuan Nan have long been ambiguous. Marrying one is marrying, marrying both is still marrying.”

“No way!” The Immortal Emperor Muyun insisted angrily, “Our Mengyu will never share a husband with someone else.”

“Then let’s just call it off~” The Red Hell Demon Emperor struck a rogue pose, “I’ll just go back and have a good chat with the Demon Lord’s projection…”

“You dog! How dare you threaten me?” The Immortal Emperor Muyun laughed out of anger, “Fine, fine, fine! Aren’t you afraid I’ll just kill you?!”

“Go ahead, do it, hit me on the head.” The Red Hell Demon Emperor directly stuck his head out towards the Immortal Emperor, defiantly, “At worst, you’ll only beat a projection to death. I won’t even bat an eye.”

Shentu Jingming’s face changed beside him.

Old Ancestor, have you considered my feelings? Your projection can be beaten to death, but my real body is still at the Wang family?

“Then just marry them both, without distinguishing between primary and secondary.” Liu Ruolan, who was “accompanying,” finally came out and made a firm decision, “Anyway, our Wang family has had similar situations before.”

“Fine! Then I will give Ruolan this face.” The Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth angrily, “However, the child born from our Mengyu must be the direct long line.”

“Nonsense!” The Red Hell Demon Emperor was so angry his eyes nearly popped out, “Since there’s no distinction between primary and secondary, why should yours be the direct long line?”

“Alright, alright, stop arguing.” Liu Ruolan continued to mediate, “On this point, we’ve also had precedents in our family. Since there’s no distinction, naturally, whoever gives birth to the first child is the direct long line.”

At this point, even the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but glare at Liu Ruolan.

Your family’s odd precedents really are numerous.

Liu Ruolan, however, blinked her starry eyes innocently.

Let them glare then, as her heart was extremely content. Still, it’s the Ruolan bloodline that’s good, with every descendant blessed with fortune.

“Ruolan, we should ask Fugui’s opinion on this matter.” Wang Shouzhe lightly coughed twice to remind her, “We should at least go through the motions.”

“That’s right, our family is relatively open-minded.” Liu Ruolan “suddenly realized,” quickly waving Wang Fugui over, “Fugui, what do you think?”

Wang Fugui might dare to be a little stubborn in front of Wang Shouzhe, but in front of Liu Ruolan, he behaved like a little lamb. Upon hearing Liu Ruolan’s inquiry, he quickly nodded and said, “It’s all up to Old Ancestor Grandma and Old Ancestor Grandpa to decide.”

“Still, my Fugui is sensible. It indeed puts you in a difficult position. However, this is for the great future of the Human race, and you can only make a little sacrifice.” Liu Ruolan comforted him endlessly.

Sacrifice?

At the side, Shentu Jingming was moved to tears and couldn’t help muttering, “If such a great fortune is called ‘sacrifice,’ then let it all fall on me, I don’t mind sacri…”

Before he could finish his words, with a “boom,” he was kicked out of Shouzhe’s small courtyard by Old Ancestor Longyan.

Nobody paid attention to the foolish Shentu Jingming anymore. Since a preliminary agreement had been reached, everyone began discussing various specific matters, with Wang Shouzhe clearly outlining the subsequent general plan.

This plan, of course, he had already informed the Immortal Supreme beforehand, but the Immortal Supreme had no interest in bickering with the Demon Emperor, and with the battlefield beyond the domain being busy, he simply didn’t come.

“That’s the general situation.” Wang Shouzhe concluded at last, “However, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Supreme, you all need to make more appearances in the Demonic World next, ideally find a Demonic God to fight with, to assert your presence, this way the Demon Lord will also feel reassured.”

Given the Demon Lord’s caution, only when he confirms that these three cannot be drawn away, will he feel at ease and act boldly.

“Alas~” The Demon Emperor let out a long sigh, “My relative’s plan has a very high chance of success. You’ve managed to grasp Chao Qiancuo’s weaknesses completely and calculated his every move down to the last detail. It’s truly not unjust, truly not unjust~”

At this point, Shentu Jingming finally limped back into Shouzhe’s small courtyard.

Seeing this scene, he too was full of emotion.

The meeting in the small courtyard today truly felt epic. The future destiny of the Human race, in just this small space, was determined in a short moment.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of years later, if someone records this piece of history, this meeting in the small courtyard might be labeled as a “turning point in history,” a “milestone meeting,” or something of the sort~

Is this what it feels like to be a big shot?
