Chapter 842: Chapter 842: A Private Talk with the Demon Emperor

Jiang Fan?

The Old Dream Demon Emperor naturally knows why Jiang Fan is visiting.

But does she have the mind to meet him?

“Invite him to the guest hall and entertain him; I’ll meet him later.”

The young palace maid bowed her head and acknowledged, then retreated.

The Zhuoyin Demon Emperor sneered, “They say I’m keeping mistresses outside.”

“Aren’t you the same?”

“They’ve come knocking.”

“Shameless!”

Bam—

The Old Dream Demon Emperor was so angry her whole body trembled, she shattered the table in front of her with a palm and shouted:

“Zhuoyin! You watch your tongue!”

“Don’t think everyone is as shameless as you!”

For twenty years, she worked diligently, maintaining her purity.

When had she ever had any scandalous rumors with men?

Now, a normal visit from an outsider, yet Zhuoyin slanders her.

The elders of the Imperial Family couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Old Dream, don’t be angry. You’re doing too well, with no flaws found, so he uses this as an excuse.”

“So normal public visits can be criticized.”

“According to you, every male demon who visited in the past had bad intentions? When the Old Demon Emperor was alive, were the visiting women also deceitful?”

“Old Dream, since Zhuoyin says so, summon that human over.”

“Lest he starts rumors that you’re afraid to meet him publicly.”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor felt slightly hollow inside.

With other men, she truly was justified.

Jiang Fan…

Thinking of that scene at the Thunder Pool, she felt a bit uneasy.

This guy Jiang Fan wouldn’t reveal that matter publicly, would he?

If Zhuoyin found out, she wouldn’t be able to explain it with a hundred mouths.

Helplessly, her clansmen all spoke.

If she avoided the meeting, it would indeed make people suspicious.

She nodded immediately, “Summon Jiang Fan.”

Soon.

Jiang Fan, feeling good, followed the young palace maid into the Imperial Palace.

Silently reciting Yizhu Demon Emperor’s advice: “Keep a distance of ten feet from the Old Dream Demon Emperor.”

“Exchange the pill recipe for the Protective Night Pearl and leave.”

“Keep away from her rotten husband.”

However, as he reached the entrance of the council hall.

Jiang Fan was a bit stunned.

Why are there so many people?

The spacious council hall was crowded with people.

At least a hundred.

All staring directly at Jiang Fan, sizing him up.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the hall seemed not very good.

Did he come at a bad time?

But he was already here.

He could only brace himself and step in.

At a glance, he saw the Old Dream Demon Emperor, with a majestic aura, sitting on the throne.

He immediately bowed and saluted, “Tianji Pavilion disciple Jiang Fan, pays respect to the South Sea Demon Emperor.”

Seeing Jiang Fan’s proper demeanor, not seeming like one to speak recklessly.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor slightly relaxed and spoke in a business-like tone, “You’re here to collect the Protective Night Pearl, aren’t you?”

Jiang Fan replied, “Yes.”

The members of the Imperial Family were visibly surprised.

The Protective Night Pearl is a special South Sea treasure controlled by the Imperial Family, extremely precious.

Not even the Imperial Family members are guaranteed to obtain it.

Why could this outsider take it?

Zhuoyin’s eyes gleamed briefly and said, “See! Yet they blame me for giving the Cold Cicada Silence Pill to an outsider.”

“This woman is openly gifting the South Sea’s treasures to her old flame!”

Jiang Fan looked at this person with a face of confusion.

He discovered that he was actually equal to the South Sea Demon Emperor.

What surprised Jiang Fan even more.

He’s seen this person before!

Isn’t he the man among the pair of lovers found in the seaweed when searching for the Crown Prince using the Sky Observation Treasure?

That sharp gaze was etched deeply in Jiang Fan’s memory.

He immediately understood who this person was.

The husband of the South Sea Demon Emperor.

No wonder the Yizhu Demon Emperor said that he’d seen him.

So, it was him.

But… is there really need to publicly slander one’s own wife like this?

“Zhuoyin! Slander me all you want.”

“But don’t damage Young Master Jiang’s reputation!”

“I gave him the Protective Night Pearl because he made great contributions when wounding the Hell Beast.”

“I, the East Sea Demon Emperor, the West Sea Demon Emperor, and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master all granted rewards.”

“My reward is a single Protective Night Pearl.”

“Any more questions?”

The old royals were relieved.

With rewards from everyone, it’s acceptable.

Zhuoyin’s face darkened, scrutinizing Jiang Fan with an unfriendly gaze, “What great contribution?”

“You want to reward someone with a Protective Night Pearl?”

“Are you taking this opportunity to send something to an old flame?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor was infuriated and said:

“Do you think people are like you, achieving nothing in your sixties?”

“They are only eighteen and have already made achievements!”

“Someone killed a sect elder, and he could single-handedly destroy the entire sect!”

“And you? Only bullying your own people!”

“Why are you glaring?”

Old Dream Demon Emperor became more and more irritated:

“If you have the ability, try being hunted by a Hell Beast with Nascent Soul Four Apertures?”

“Not only did they escape, but they also managed to injure it.”

“When the Hell Beast tried to escape and threatened to destroy the Four Seas, he was the one who managed to control it, giving our four strong leaders a chance to severely injure it and prevent future troubles!”

“Can you accomplish any of this?”

Silence fell across the room.

The Imperial Family members stared at Jiang Fan wide-eyed.

They could not believe it.

This young man, so young, with fair skin, seeming so harmless, could be so capable!

Jiang Fan touched his nose.

He was naturally pleased with praise.

But don’t put him in the middle of their marital dispute!

He clearly saw that the couple was having a disagreement.

The South Sea Demon Emperor’s words undoubtedly pulled him in.

Sure enough, Zhuoyin’s expression was gloomy.

His eyes rolling with a hint of jealousy and anger: “Kid! Are you so remarkable?”

“Do you want to compare your strength with mine?”

He released his Nascent Soul Power, pressing towards Jiang Fan.

The Imperial Family members were startled.

This bastard is too audacious, right?

A visitor, and you directly make a move?

And using a Nascent Soul Body to bully a Core Formation junior?

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s face turned cold as she snorted heavily: “Presumptuous!”

With a loud bang.

Zhuoyin seemed struck by thunder, his body shuddered violently, falling from the throne.

Blood trickled from his nose.

Zhuoyin was surprised and angry: “Old Dream! You hurt me for an outsider?”

Old Dream Demon Emperor was even more infuriated, disdainfully saying: “How can I have such a shameful husband?”

“You are a senior after all!”

“Barely considered to be in the Demon Emperor Realm.”

“How dare you attack a Core Formation junior?”

“You may not care, but the South Sea cares!”

She was really angry.

Jiang Fan was also somewhat furious.

This Zhuoyin Demon Emperor’s brain is really defective, right?

Since he entered, he had been slandering him as a lover of the South Sea Demon Emperor.

Now he has directly made a move!

No wonder the Yizhu Demon Emperor repeatedly warned him to stay away from the South Sea Demon Emperor’s husband.

This guy is really not a good thing.

Zhuoyin furiously said: “Fine! Fine!”

“Old Dream, and all you old folks.”

“Is this how you treat me?”

“Fine, not a single Cold Cicada Silence Pill for any of you!”

“Go to hell!”

He left in anger.

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Fan a fierce look.

No matter how the Imperial Family elders tried to persuade him, Zhuoyin did not look back, leaving.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor sat on the throne dejectedly.

Looking at the chaotic council hall, exhausted in mind and spirit.

A myriad of grievances welled up within her heart.

This family is too hard to manage.

She held back the urge to cry, saying:

“Clan Elders, I’ll talk with him later.”

“Regarding the Cold Cicada Silence Pill, don’t worry, I’ll think of a way.”

The clan elders sighed, and some were angry at their incompetence.

But none offered any solution.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor was equally silent.

Though she spoke so,

She had no ideas.

This time, Zhuoyin was completely enraged.

He wouldn’t easily relent and give up the Cold Cicada Silence Pill as before.

Surely he’d make humiliating demands to vent his hate.

As for what would be so humiliating.

She dared not think.

Jiang Fan also watched with a headache.

Even less willing to get involved.

Better to quickly take his things and go.

“Demon Emperor, I would like to speak with you.”

“Privately.”
