354: Chapter 354 Emilia

Next, the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Tiger girl experienced the same fate.

Being sucked of blood by a beautiful girl, it was hard to tell if it was a punishment or a reward—

Ten minutes later, Emilia let out a satisfied burp, a contented smile on her face.

"As expected, the blood of high-rank bloodline spirit beasts tastes the best!"

She licked her lips. "The only pity is that these two women aren't particularly good-looking! Find me prettier ones next time; I want both looks and bloodline!"

The maid smiled bitterly. "My Lady, SSS-rank Bloodlines are already hard enough to find, let alone adding beauty to the mix—your tastes are truly too picky!"

Emilia curled her lip. "What's wrong with being picky? I'm going to live for thousands of years; how can I not treat myself well?"

At that moment, a maid suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Lady Emilia! That Chen Yi I mentioned earlier—the girls following him are all very beautiful, and judging by their strength, they should all have SSS-rank Bloodlines too! However—"

"However, what?"

"However, the Queen said that Chen Yi is her chosen prey, and no one is allowed to disturb them for the time being—"

Hearing this, Emilia rolled her eyes. "Only that fool would be deceived by such a simple scheme!"

She stood up, her bare feet stepping on the white floor as she walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the sanctuary.

A faint look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

At least it was enough that this place hadn't changed much in these hundred years!

Emilia turned around and said, "Based on the information you've given, I'm afraid that Black Rose has long since defected!"

"Defected?"

The two maids looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

Black Rose was a Demon Emperor personally enlightened by the Queen; how could she possibly betray her?

"Indeed!"

Emilia analyzed, "This Chen Yi clearly possesses the power to see through a Demon Emperor's disguise. I suspect he didn't accept Black Rose's advances at first simply because he knew she was a Demon Emperor."

"Later, his willingness to take Black Rose to the Antarctica Secret Realm was likely because he felt that keeping her by his side would allow him to better monitor our movements."

"As for the final defection, I reckon she was tricked by that fellow Chen Yi's flowery words and ultimately fell!"

"A little brat who's only been born for half a year is still too naive! She was easily manipulated by the enemy."

The two maids came to a realization and praised her one after another.

"Your Ladyship is truly discerning!"

"How did we not think of that?"

Emilia waved her hand dismissively. "I don't like flattery! Chen Yi plans to hold a press conference in three days, right? Fine, let me see what truths he can see through! Help me prepare some clothes suitable for appearing in public."

The maid was startled. "My Lady, do you plan to go there in person?"

"Why else? You can't see what kind of person this Chen Yi really is through a screen."

"But... can't he see through the aura of a Demon Emperor?"

"So what if he can?"

Emilia laughed. "Does he dare to touch me? In this world, schemes are things only the weak play with! As long as one's strength is sufficient, any scheme is but a passing cloud!"

The maids nodded in succession. "Your Ladyship is right!"

Of course, it was impossible for Emilia to appear just to see Chen Yi.

She truly wanted to see how Chen Yi would react when faced with an absolutely unbeatable enemy!

Moreover, she wanted Chen Yi to know that the strongest member of the Demon Abyss Cult—Emilia—had awakened!

Those flashy little tricks of his can be put away now!

At the same time, the Abyss Great Hall.

"What did you say?"

Hua Liuli, seated on the throne, stood up abruptly. "That old hag woke up?!"

The messenger kneeling below said tremblingly, "Ye—yes! And because she slept for a very long time this time, I'm afraid she won't go back to sleep for the next ten years!"

"Damn it!"

Hua Liuli clicked her tongue. "How wonderful it would have been if she just never woke up!"

As an aggregation of demonic power, Hua Liuli had an instinctive wariness towards Emilia.

That old monster who had lived for thousands of years possessed unfathomable strength and an understanding of the essence of demonic power that far surpassed her own.

Even more troublesome was that Emilia was a naturally formed Demon Emperor, not one created through her power.

Emilia was not under her control at all and could even threaten her position!

"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Hua Liuli pondered for a moment before sitting back down.

"Prepare my clothes first!"

She said slowly, "Since she's awake, I must go and see her. It just so happens that Chen Yi is having his press conference in three days; I will be there in person."

The Demon Emperor was taken aback. "You're going there? But Lady Emilia will likely also—"

"She can go her way, and I'll go mine."

Hua Liuli sneered. "This time, I want to see exactly what kind of man this Chen Yi is!"

She stood up and walked to the full-length mirror in the hall.

Looking at her own exquisite figure, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She had lived for thousands of years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless dynasties and civilizations!

She had seen the most sincere love and the ugliest betrayals;

She had seen the birth of heroes and their downfall!

Her long life had given her supreme power, but also endless loneliness!

"Chen Yi—"

Hua Liuli softly whispered the name. "Let me see if you are truly extraordinary! Pass down my order: in three days, I shall visit the Dragon Kingdom in person!"

"Yes!!!"

---

Time flies like a fleeting white horse; in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Chen Yi knew nothing of the surging undercurrents within the Demon Abyss Cult.

During these three days, he had been staying at the Luo family manor, enjoying the highest level of VIP treatment.

The Luo family manor was located in the western suburbs of the Demon Capital, covering over three hundred acres, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly fashion, and rockeries and flowing water complementing each other!

This was one of the oldest Beast Tamer families in the Dragon Kingdom, with a heritage spanning over a thousand years and a terrifyingly deep foundation.

"Little Brother Chen Yi, try this."

Luo Shiyin held a piece of brown sugar pastry to Chen Yi's lips. "This is our Luo family's specialty, the Consonance Cake. It's prepared using forty-nine kinds of spiritual herbs and is beneficial for cultivation!"

Chen Yi opened his mouth and took it. The pastry melted instantly, turning into a warm current that surged through his limbs and bones.

The effect was indeed remarkable!

Chen Yi nodded approvingly. "It seems your Luo family's foundation is even deeper than I imagined!"

Luo Shiyin smiled. "After all, having been passed down for a thousand years, there are bound to be some hidden treasures—"

The two were currently sitting in the manor's viewing pavilion, surrounded by a sea of blooming peonies.

It was early summer, and peonies of all colors were competing in beauty, their fragrance overwhelming.

Not far away, the Luo family servants were busy setting something up.

Since three days ago, the entire Luo family had entered a state of intense preparation.

After all, this was the Eldest Miss's inauguration ceremony as the Family Head; how could they be negligent?"}],
