Chapter 525 - 525 525 The Demon Emperors Daughter is

Chapter 525: Chapter 525 The Demon Emperor’s Daughter is Pregnant Chapter 525: Chapter 525 The Demon Emperor’s Daughter is Pregnant The demons around the Holy Altar looked at each other in dismay.

This battle couldn’t entirely be blamed on Yao Yue.

But as the Commander-in-chief,

she still bore unavoidable responsibility.

Even if not executed, she would face severe punishment.

There was no way she could escape unscathed.

Sea Charm showed a worried expression.

She thought to herself, “I’m afraid Yao Yue will still have to die.”

“The Priest lineage has always been a threat to the Demon Emperor’s lineage.”

“Every Demon Emperor throughout history has tried to eliminate the Priest lineage.”

“The current Demon Emperor even attempted to marry into the Priests to merge their lineage, but it ended in failure.”

“Now, an opportunity has finally arisen to eliminate Yao Yue and sever the Priest lineage’s inheritance.”

“With the Demon Emperor’s ruthlessness, how could he miss this chance?”

The only hope was,

the old Priest, Ling Yin, would intervene to withstand the Demon Emperor.

What puzzled Sea Charm was that Ling Yin remained as calm as ever,

just standing quietly beside Yao Yue without saying a word.

Leaving Yao Yue’s fate entirely at the Demon Emperor’s discretion.

The Holy Altar fell into silence; everyone awaited Yao Yue’s punishment.

Yao Yue herself bit her red lips tight,

her hands nervously twisting the hem of her dress,

awaiting the judgment of fate.

The giant face in the Demon Cloud moved.

The authoritative voice of the Demon Emperor echoed.

“The blame for this defeat does not lie with you.”

“I pardon you of all guilt.”

“Judgment is concluded.”

“Dismissed.”

“Demon Kings, War Generals, War King, come to my tent!”

Immediately, the giant face in the Demon Cloud dissipated, and the terrifying demon energy retreated like a tide.

The demons around were bewildered.

“Yao Yue… is innocent?”

“Not even the slightest punishment?”

“Are you kidding me? She was just let off like that!”

Sea Charm also showed a look of confusion.

Even if not executed, how could there be no punishment?

This was not like the Demon Emperor’s usual behavior!

Her instinct told her that something unknown must have happened.

Nonetheless,

it was an unexpectedly good outcome.

Yao Yue escaping unscathed also meant that Jiang Fan would be safe.

And since she and Yao Yue held each other’s secrets, neither would betray the other.

With a long sigh, she gave Ling Yin, who remained as inscrutable as ever, a deep look, and then silently withdrew to go to the Demon Emperor’s tent.

The demons had suffered a huge defeat; there couldn’t be no reaction at all.

They lost ten thousand Dead Spirit soldiers, a thousand Demon Beast soldiers, and even a War General.

It seemed,

the demons were about to launch a decisive battle!

As the demons all left,

only Yao Yue and Ling Yin remained at the Holy Altar.

Yao Yue looked suspicious: “I’m actually fine?”

“This shouldn’t be!”

“Mother, hasn’t the Demon Emperor always seen us as a thorn in his side?”

“Why didn’t he seize the opportunity to trouble me and instead showed great mercy by letting me go?”

Ling Yin’s voice was ethereal and clear.

Calm as ever, she said, “Because the Demon Emperor’s daughter committed a scandal far worse than yours.”

“If he executed you today,”

“when his daughter’s deeds are exposed, she would find it even harder to escape death.”

What?

Yao Yue was stunned, covering her red lips, eyes wide in shock.

The daughter of the Demon Emperor, defiled by a human…

This was an unimaginable scandal!

However,

Ling Yin had not finished speaking,

and then she casually added something that was enough to shake the entire Demon Race.

“And… she is pregnant.”

Rumbling thunder echoed in Yao Yue’s mind!

The noble Liu Li, daughter of the Demon Emperor,

pregnant with a human’s child?

This was far more serious than the complete annihilation of the Dead Spirit Army!

No wonder!

No wonder the Demon Emperor did not take the chance to execute Yao Yue, not even giving a slight punishment.

It turns out, his daughter had committed a far more shameful act.

The Demon Emperor sparing Yao Yue,

was also a way to save face for the Priests.

When his daughter’s scandal comes to light, he hoped the Priests would not take the opportunity to retaliate.

Yao Yue felt fortunate: “So I actually have to thank that human man.”

“Without him, I wouldn’t have escaped today.”

The man she was grateful for,

at this moment, slowly opened his eyes.

After seven days of arduous cultivation, Jiang Fan finally broke through to the Third Level of Core Formation smoothly.

Feeling the abundant spiritual power, Jiang Fan showed an expression of joy.

“Breaking through a level without swallowing clam meat, this is the benefit of real combat!”

Clam meat is a rare spiritual object effective even at the Late Stage of Core Formation.

The downside is that the first use has the greatest effect.

Subsequent uses have greatly reduced effects until they become completely useless.

Using it during the initial stage of Foundation Establishment is a great waste.

It is best used when encountering a bottleneck in cultivation or urgently needing a breakthrough in realm.

“Fan, Fan, are you in there?”

Suddenly, an anxious voice called out from outside.

Jiang Fan’s spirits lifted.

He looked up and out.

A graceful woman in a long green dress, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, with a waist so slender it could barely be held in one hand.

She was crouching at the spatial entrance, her small hands cupped around her mouth like a trumpet.

Shouting urgently again and again with eyes filled with anxious tears.

“Senior Sister?” Jiang Fan’s whole body shook.

Who else could it be but Liu Qingxian?

He rushed out of the cave.

His sudden appearance startled her, but upon realizing it was Jiang Fan,

her eyes immediately filled with glistening tears, which quickly gathered into droplets that fell down.

The tears traced down her once rosy, now frostbitten cheeks.

As they fell to the ground, they were instantly frozen by the cold into ice crystals.

Seeing the haggard beauty,

Jiang Fan’s heart ached, and he went forward to pull her into his arms with force.

After experiencing the battle at Boundary Mountain,

having witnessed so many partings of life and death,

seeing so many dreams cruelly shattered into regrets.

He no longer wanted to hide unspoken words, unresolved feelings, or mistreated people in his heart.

Because life is more fragile than he had imagined.

Meeting today, they might be separated by life and death tomorrow.

So he expressed his feelings openly.

A hug said more than a thousand words.

“Boohoo~” Liu Qingxian buried her head in Jiang Fan’s embrace, crying:

“Jiang Fan! Why are you so bad?”

She raised her little fist, hitting Jiang Fan’s chest with force.

Her face, already flooded with tears:

“Why do you make me so worried, make me so upset, make me happy one moment, sad the next, in the clouds one moment, and in hell the next?”

“Why? Why do you torment me so?”

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.

After the long-awaited reunion, why would she say such things?

Until a sighing voice chimed in.

“Liu Qingxian really cares about you.”

Nangong Xiaoyun had come along unnoticed.

“The news of the attack on Boundary Mountain spread back to Sunset City, plunging the entire city into chaos.”

“As soon as Liu Qingxian heard, she rushed out of the city immediately, unable to even get a spirit beast in the panic, trudging through human-high snow towards Boundary Mountain.”

“If I hadn’t found her frozen into an ice statue by chance while passing through the snowy land,”

“you two would have been star-crossed lovers.”

What?

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened.

No wonder Liu Qingxian’s face was frostbitten like this.

He felt both heartbroken and angry: “Are you stupid?”

“Without a spirit beast to traverse the snowfield, it’s as good as suicide.”

With the snow that deep, once her spiritual power was exhausted, she would be buried and frozen to death!

Nangong Xiaoyun said softly, “She just wanted to see you as soon as possible.”

“Even while unconscious, she kept calling your name.”
