Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Confused Old Demon Emperor

Only the Zhuoyin Association would do such sneaky things.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s expression became complex.

She sighed heavily:

“Old Demon Emperor, you… sigh!”

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

Knowing well that the Zhuoyin Demon Emperor was incompetent, why did you entrust him with something so important?

Fortunately, opening the giant clam requires Nascent Soul-level power.

Otherwise, he would have long stolen the top-grade protective pearl to exchange for money.

She leaned powerlessly against the giant clam.

Feeling extremely fatigued.

Jiang Fan, however, understood well and consoled:

“Zhuoyin may be incompetent, but he’s still his son.”

“Would one leave good things to outsiders if not to their son?”

“People’s hearts are selfish.”

“It’s understandable.”

“Moreover, Zhuoyin has already been expelled from the Imperial Family.”

“You don’t need to worry about him anymore.”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s mood slightly improved.

She whispered, “Thank you.”

“I’m just a bit weary in my heart.”

“Having a husband is actually worse than being a widow.”

“At least she doesn’t have anyone holding her back, no future concerns.”

Jiang Fan did feel some sympathy for the Old Dream Demon Emperor.

She indeed had a tougher time than the Yizhu Demon Emperor.

However, it wasn’t his place to meddle in other people’s family affairs.

He cupped his hand and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Old Dream Demon Emperor.”

“Bring me the incomplete Pill Recipe, and I’ll complete it for you.”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s worries dissipated instantly, and she happily took out the Pill Recipe.

Just preparing to step forward.

She noticed Jiang Fan again moving backward.

She was a bit intolerant:

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Are you on guard against me?”

“Do you really have to keep three zhang away?”

Seeing her angry, Jiang Fan was puzzled and said, “Is there a problem with that?”

“Isn’t this good for both of us?”

He definitely didn’t want a repeat of the absurd incident from the East Sea.

Keeping some distance from the Old Dream Demon Emperor was wise.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor frowned:

“There is no problem with this, but… but shouldn’t it be me who is wary of you?”

“You act as if I’m up to something with you!”

So it was about this, she was upset.

Jiang Fan was speechless and said, “Alright, then let me confirm something first.”

“You don’t have a son or daughter who looks exactly like you, right?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor stiffened her pretty face: “I have no offspring with that person.”

Immediately, she grasped the meaning, and studied Jiang Fan with curiosity.

“Why ask like this? You must have seen the widow’s two children, who look exactly like her, right?”

“Did you have some misunderstanding with the widow?”

“So, now you’re cautious with me to avoid misunderstandings?”

Decades of being a demon emperor honed her perception.

In just an instant, she deduced the truth.

Jiang Fan blushed and changed the topic: “Do you want the Pill Recipe or not?”

“If not, I’ll leave!”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor took large steps to him, her phoenix eyes glaring at him.

She stuffed the Pill Recipe into his arms:

“Rest assured!”

“This is my South Sea Palace, not a thunder pool!”

“It’s not so easy to have misunderstandings!”

Jiang Fan was helpless.

Since you approached yourself, if anything happens, I’m not responsible.

He opened the Pill Recipe and supplemented it with the missing material proportions.

“Alright, our transaction is complete.”

“Farewell.”

Jiang Fan returned the Pill Recipe to her.

He strolled outside the array.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor quickly glanced, her eyes showing joy, and followed him outside.

But suddenly.

She seemed to sense something, and flew forward.

Before Jiang Fan stepped out, she grabbed his arm.

She exclaimed urgently, “Don’t go out!”

Jiang Fan was caught off guard, and he fell backward, stumbling onto something soft and warm.

Turned his head to look.

It was the chest of the Old Dream Demon Emperor.

Her loose and elegant black dress concealed specific contours.

However.

Based on the tactile sensation from the collision earlier, it matched perfectly with what he saw in the thunder pool that day.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor blushed and quickly pushed him away.

Jiang Fan muttered, “I said to keep distance.”

“You wouldn’t listen.”

He spoke as such.

But his gaze shifted to the outside of the array.

Suspiciously, he asked, “Why did you pull me?”

“Did you discover something?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor rubbed her slightly aching chest from the collision.

She stared outside the array, softly exclaiming, “Come out!”

The air outside the array instantly distorted.

A tall figure slowly emerged.

His appearance was handsome, but his eyes particularly fierce.

At this moment, his eyes held a sinister gleam.

Who else could it be but the expelled Zhuoyin Demon Emperor from the South Sea Palace?

“I knew it was you!”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s powerful perception picked up someone hiding outside the array, swiftly pulling Jiang Fan back.

Looking now.

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor held a sharp dagger in his left hand.

His right hand held a palm-sized colorful fish scale, flickering faintly, evidently enabling Zhuoyin Demon Emperor’s invisibility.

“The Old Demon Emperor’s Invisibility Kun Scale?”

“Wasn’t it lost long ago?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor was slightly surprised, then her expression grew complex.

It was as Jiang Fan said.

After all, Zhuoyin was his biological son.

However, seeing the lethal weapon in his left hand, the Old Dream Demon Emperor’s pretty face grew cold.

“You still want to assassinate Young Master Jiang?”

Her perception of the killing intent led her to the anomaly outside.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have noticed anyone.

“What, does it pain you to think of killing him?”

“What misunderstandings did you have at the thunder pool?”

“I heard everything just now!”

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor sneered, “You keep claiming there’s nothing between you and this pretty boy?”

“Then what’s this?”

“You shameless woman!”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor disdainfully ignored him.

She snorted coldly, “Sneaking back to assassinate Young Master Jiang?”

“Perfect, let’s lock you up first.”

“And deal with you after Young Master Jiang safely leaves the South Sea!”

If Jiang Fan dies in the South Sea.

She couldn’t explain to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.

This incessant Zhuoyin, roaming outside, would eventually cause trouble.

Better to catch him!

Whoosh—

She immediately dashed outside the array.

Zhuoyin angrily said, “You want to catch me over a pretty boy?”

He immediately took out a golden imperial token from his bosom.

Raised his hand and tapped on the array.

The array with an opening immediately closed.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor lunged to the array’s edge, halted by a layer of azure transparent barrier.

“The Old Demon Emperor’s imperial token truly is in your hand.”

“But does this array trap me?”

She took out her own imperial token and tapped on the array.

But what surprised her was.

The array remained motionless.

It didn’t respond to the imperial token’s control.

The Zhuoyin Demon Emperor outside the array finally burst into laughter.

“Why can’t you open it?”

“The old man trusted you so much, didn’t he tell you the emperor’s token held by the demon emperor is the true imperial token?”

“The eight clan elders’ tokens are merely secondary imperial tokens.”

“With the true imperial token in front, your secondary token is useless.”

What?

The Old Dream Demon Emperor was shocked.

She repeatedly attempted to activate her token, but as Zhuoyin Demon Emperor said.

The token in her hand had no impact.

The array was completely ignoring her command!
