Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Seeing that Ling Qingyu's mood had improved, Jun Wuxie began to inquire about Yan Qingcheng's situation.

"Qingcheng-jie is in seclusion. Originally, I was also in seclusion, but because my father intends to betroth me to you, he let me out of seclusion early. In a few days, Qingcheng-jie will also come out of seclusion and participate in the ranking competition as a member of the Demon Race. She doesn't know you're here yet, otherwise she definitely wouldn't be able to sit still."

"How is Qingcheng?"

It had been more than ten years since Ling Qingyu took her away from the Lower Realm, and he had never seen her since.

"She's doing very well. Since Qingcheng-jie came here, she has encountered danger twice, but both times she turned danger into safety. Qingcheng-jie's bloodline has awakened several times in recent years, and her current growth rate is no weaker than mine."

Jun Wuxie nodded, relieved.

Every time he thought of Yan Qingcheng, although he knew she was in the Demon Race and protected by the Ling family, so she should be relatively safe, he still couldn't help but worry.

He knew very well Yan Qingcheng's feelings for him, and he was worried not only about her safety but also whether she had been doing well these years.

She must miss him very much.

Almost all the major forces in the Upper Realm knew about his fall in the Lower Realm back then. Yan Qingcheng probably knew about it too. He wondered how she had survived those years.

"Big bad guy, how is Auntie these years?"

Ling Qingyu couldn't avoid this question after all. She was worried all the time.

She had a very good relationship with Auntie. Auntie had loved and cared for her since she was a child. During those years when her mother was in deep cultivation, Auntie even replaced her mother's role.

Hearing her mention Jingya, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but fall silent.

His eyes were filled with guilt, not only towards Ling Qingyu, the Ling family of the Demon Race, but also towards Jingya.

"Qingyu, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you and your father today, and almost made it impossible for your father to save face..."

Jun Wuxie sincerely expressed his apology. His heart was complicated.

Sometimes, as smart as he was, he still found it difficult to handle complex and intertwined emotions perfectly.

Some attitudes had to be expressed, and some relationships had to have a priority.

He couldn't keep his relationship with Jingya hidden forever. Sooner or later, everyone in the Demon Race would know.

"You did it on purpose. You, the dignified Divine King, could say such things, so I know that in your heart, Auntie's importance far outweighs mine..."

Ling Qingyu felt a little bitter. Although she had a good relationship with Auntie, as a woman, she was still a little jealous.

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

Jun Wuxie did not deny it, "After all, this is the Demon Race. If it were somewhere else, I definitely wouldn't do this. I came to the Demon Race, and I had to have an attitude. You are the Holy Maiden, and she used to be the Holy Maiden..."

"Do you love her that much?"

Ling Qingyu lowered her head slightly, her voice filled with resentment and loss in addition to the bitterness in her heart.

"Yes, after all, she is already my woman, and she has given me everything. Before today, we had not yet confirmed that relationship, so I will naturally be more inclined towards her."

Jun Wuxie said that both of them were Demon Race Holy Maidens, Jingya had already had conjugal relations with him, but now he came to the Demon Race and had to agree to the marriage with the current Holy Maiden.

"According to the order of precedence, I should marry Jingya first in this Demon Race. From the moment I stepped into the Demon Race, I had already let her down. Although she doesn't care on the surface, she must be feeling a little bitter in her heart, and my heart is also very tangled. Sometimes, emotional matters are really complicated, even I can't sort them out for a while..."

"So, you big bad guy, you didn't agree in the Holy Hall not only because you didn't know my wishes, but also because of your guilt towards Auntie..."

Ling Qingyu lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

She felt so sad in her heart that she couldn't control her tears at all.

She knew that before confirming the relationship, the big bad guy was more inclined towards Auntie, which was correct. Now that the relationship was confirmed, he would treat her the same way, but she still couldn't stop feeling sad.

"I'm sorry." Jun Wuxie sighed deeply, "Looking at your father's eyes, and thinking of you, in the end, I still didn't make that choice, neither giving Jingya a title in public nor rejecting your father's face. All I got was my own psychological comfort. So, on this matter, I am very selfish, and I did it wrong."

"I don't blame you. If you didn't have that feeling for Auntie, it would mean you are an unfaithful man..."

Ling Qingyu raised her head, revealing a smiling face on her tearful, beautiful face, and her knot seemed to be suddenly untied at this moment.

"I always want to try my best to be worthy of each of you, but it seems that I am letting each of you down..."

"I said I don't blame you, you bad guy. Which of our sisters doesn't know your situation? We are willing, even if we are moths flying into the flame, we have no regrets."

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie silently embraced her.

"Bad guy, we have to write a letter to Father and explain things clearly as soon as possible."

Ling Qingyu condensed a piece of energy talisman paper.

"Let me write it."

Jun Wuxie took the talisman paper, pondered for a moment, and used his finger as a pen to write energy characters, imprinting them on the talisman paper.

He had embarrassed Qingyu's father today, so he needed to apologize and make amends.

After he finished writing, Ling Qingyu read it over and smiled, "I'll consider you sincere, you bad guy, but why didn't you write down all your thoughts?"

As she spoke, she also wrote on it, clearly stating all the reasons.

Then, she sent the talisman letter out.

...

In the Holy Hall of the Demon Race, Demon Lord Ling and the high-level officials were still sitting in their positions, but the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

In the hall, no one spoke, and everyone's mood was very depressed.

Some high-level officials had gloomy faces, while others had worried expressions.

Before today, they had high expectations for today's events.

The Ling family needed such a son-in-law who could ride the dragon very much, but things didn't go as planned...

Although the Divine King did not explicitly refuse, the fact that he did not agree in public meant that there was a great chance of change.

If a man had a strong desire to possess a woman, how could he refuse?

How many people in the world could refuse a woman with such a beautiful appearance and outstanding talent as the Holy Maiden?

But the Divine King was equivalent to a disguised refusal.

They really didn't understand. He, the Divine King, already had so many imperial concubines, three thousand in the harem, so why didn't the Holy Maiden have a place!

The high-level officials of the Demon Race were all thinking from the perspective of the Demon Race's interests.

Demon Lord Ling was silent, but his expression was extremely complicated.

Recalling every word Jun Wuxie said in the Holy Hall today, as well as his expressions and emotional changes at the time, he vaguely guessed his thoughts.

At this moment, a talisman letter flowing with green light, like a green phoenix, flew over and landed steadily in Demon Lord Ling's hand.

"It's the Holy Maiden's talisman letter, it's her aura!"

The high-level officials in the hall were naturally familiar with Ling Qingyu's energy aura, and the talisman paper was condensed from her energy.

Instantly, the eyes of all the high-level officials focused on the talisman letter in the Demon Lord's hand, with nervous expressions.

"Demon Lord, what does the Holy Maiden say in her letter?"

Seeing that the Demon Lord seemed to have finished reading the talisman letter, before the Demon Lord could speak, the high-level officials couldn't wait to ask.

"Qingyu condensed the talisman paper, and the content was written jointly by Wuxie and Qingyu. He apologized to us very sincerely in the letter..."

As soon as they heard the apology, the hearts of the high-level officials tightened, and their faces turned ugly again, "So, he ultimately refused?"

"No, he agreed." The expression on the Demon Lord's face relaxed, and he said, "He already knows that Qingyu has feelings for him and is willing. He also has feelings for Qingyu. From now on, Wuxie will be the son-in-law of my Demon Race! All of you must respect him!"

"Agreed?"

"Hahaha, good, good!"

"Although this matter had a few twists and turns, it ultimately had a good result!"

"Demon Lord, rest assured, the Holy Maiden's husband is the Divine King of the Dawn Dynasty. Just his status and his record of completely annihilating the Great Sacrifice Army are enough to earn our respect, let alone that he is now the son-in-law of our Demon Race!"

"Haha! This old man wants to see how the Teng Snake lineage will jump around in the future! Aren't they hiding a powerful prodigy king with an ancestral bloodline? When will they pull him out for a walk to see if he can compete with our Holy Maiden's husband!"

"Hey, what kind of legendary prodigy king is the Divine King? That ancestral Teng Snake bloodline, the Divine King beating him is probably like this old man beating his son, easily crushing him!"

"That's an exaggeration, right? The ancestral Teng Snake is extremely powerful, and its combat power at the same level is beyond imagination. Even if the Divine King is against the heavens, he won't be as exaggerated as you said, but he can win, we have confidence in him!"

"Alright." Demon Lord Ling signaled them to be quiet and said, "You immediately start preparing, inform the world of the joyous event of the Ling family of my Demon Race, send out invitations widely, and in ten days, hold the engagement ceremony of Wuxie and Qingyu in the Holy City of my Demon Race. All those who come to congratulate, regardless of their status or strength, will be honored guests of the Ling family of my Demon Race!"

"Yes, we old guys will personally prepare. Hehe, once the news is sent out, I'm afraid many people will jump up and down. Those people can't sit still and will probably come out to cause trouble."

"Let them cause trouble if they want to. You don't have to worry about these things, let Wuxie deal with them. After all, he is a member of the younger generation, and he doesn't need to consider any consequences when he takes action. I'm just afraid those people won't dare to come!"

After Demon Lord Ling finished speaking, he clenched the talisman letter in his hand, stood up, "You guys hurry up and do it. This Demon Lord has to quickly tell Jingwei this good news, so that she won't worry about Qingyu's matter."

After saying that, Demon Lord Ling Wuse left in a hurry.

Inside the temple, the demon race's high-level members looked at each other, then laughed loudly, the laughter echoing incessantly within the temple.

… …

Still on this main peak, halfway up the mountain, there's a secluded valley with beautiful scenery and hidden wonders.

After entering the valley, there are space formations reinforcing it, making the internal space extremely vast.

Within this valley, there are rivers and lakes, snow mountains and grasslands.

Ling Qingyu's parents live here.

In front of a mountain at the foot of the snow mountain, on a flat grassland, there is a unique courtyard.

When the Demon Lord Ling Wuse returned, a noble and beautiful woman in the courtyard got up and looked over.

"Husband is back. How did things go today?"

She pulled Ling Wuse to sit down at the jade stone table and poured him a cup of tea.

"That brat didn't agree at first and almost said publicly about his affair with Jingya. Fortunately, he didn't say it in the end, otherwise it would have been difficult to handle… …"

Nanli Jingwei listened and slowly put down the teacup in her hand, with a look of astonishment on her face, "He really did that?"

Demon Lord Ling Wuse nodded.

He originally thought his wife would be very angry, but unexpectedly saw a smile on her face, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Jingwei, why are you still smiling? That brat Wuxie almost made me lose face. Where does he put Qingyu?"

"Husband, you are wrong. It is precisely because of this that he is the man Jingya and Qingyu can entrust their lives to."

Nanli Jingwei said that if he had agreed directly, it would mean that he had not considered Jingya at all.

"Husband, think about it, before he agreed, there was no clear relationship between him and Qingyu, but he and Jingya are essentially husband and wife. There is no doubt about this. Jingya loves him so much, she must have already had marital relations with him. So, at that time, the most important person to him should be Jingya, not Qingyu and our Ling family."

"That's right, that's the logic."

Ling Wuse nodded, expressing his agreement, which he also understood in his heart.

"So, according to the order of events, when getting married in this demon race, it is only natural to marry Jingya first and then Qingyu. However, because Qinglong Gorge is crucial, we and he had to make such a choice due to the situation. At that time, he must have felt guilty towards Jingya, so on the temple, he wanted to publicly say his relationship with Jingya. This is due to the accumulation of emotions and inner guilt to a certain extent."

"Hmph, that brat Wuxie is just seeking psychological self-comfort."

Nanli Jingwei chuckled and said, "His original intention was not to seek self-comfort, but the only result he got in the end was this. This psychological comfort cannot be ignored, at least it can help him get over his own hurdle, otherwise he will still be entangled. The human heart is made of flesh, and he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. How can he be so heartless and hesitant when it comes to emotional debt?"

"Huh? That's not right."

Ling Wuse looked at his wife in surprise, "Jingwei, I remember when the Heavenly Dao Academy was looking for trouble with the Teng Snake lineage, what did you say? You said he was a playboy and would never let Qingyu get too close to him. Why are you praising him so much today and speaking well of him?"

"He is already our son-in-law now. If I don't speak for him, what else can I do? Besides, he is still my brother-in-law. I am also very pleased that Jingya can follow such a man in this life. Look at his achievements in these years since he came to the upper realm. His story is like a fabricated myth and legend. Coupled with his pacifying the doomsday torrents in the lower realm, it is no wonder that Jingya is so obsessed with him that she cannot extricate herself."

"That brat Wuxie is indeed excellent, or rather, he can no longer be described as excellent. He is too heaven-defying. If I were a woman, I would probably be infatuated with him too."

Ling Wuse said this, his face full of satisfaction and pride at having a good son-in-law.

He is satisfied with this son-in-law in every way. Even if he has such a relationship with Jingya, it doesn't matter compared to his excellence.

After all, they are people in the cultivation world, and some things are not as important to them as they are to ordinary people.

In the secular world, life is only a few decades or hundreds of years, and many people are bound by rules and regulations.

People in the cultivation world have lifespans of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, and their views and pursuits in life are naturally different from those in the mortal world.

People who practice must dare to break free from restraints and shackles.

In a sense, this is also part of the essence of a Dao heart.

"Where is Wuxie now? I want to ask him about Jingya's news."

Nanli Jingwei missed her sister and thought about her all the time these years.

It has been a long time since she was able to contact Jingya. She tried to contact her using secret techniques, but failed every time.

"He's on Qingyu's peak. I'll accompany you. Speaking of that brat Wuxie, Jingwei, you don't know, the Pavilion Master Mu Ciyin of the Ice Heart Pavilion also came with him this time!"

"What?"

Nanli Jingwei and Ling Wuse got up and walked out of the valley. On the way, when she heard him say this, her face was full of shock.

"Hehe, Jingwei, don't be shocked yet, the shocking part is yet to come… …"

Ling Wuse immediately told her how Mu Ciyin doted on Jun Wuxie and how deep their master-disciple relationship was, which made Nanli Jingwei dumbfounded.

If her husband hadn't seen this kind of thing with his own eyes, she wouldn't have dared to believe it in her dreams, it was like a Arabian Nights tale.

You must know, that's not someone else, that's Ice Heart Fairy Mu Ciyin!

She wouldn't be so shocked if this kind of thing happened to anyone else in this world, but it happened to Mu Ciyin alone, which made her feel incredible!

"So, Wuxie's charm is far beyond what you and I can imagine, otherwise how could Jingya and Qingyu be unable to extricate themselves from him. Because even Ice Heart Fairy Mu Ciyin is willing to get along with him intimately, you can imagine. Alas, my son-in-law is really a model for men. I'm afraid all the men in the world want to live like him."

"Is that so? Including husband? Is husband envious or jealous? Do you also want to be like Wuxie and have the proud daughters of the world be obsessed with you?"

"Nonsense! How can I? There is only you, Jingwei, in my heart!"

Ling Wuse put his arm around Nanli Jingwei's waist, with a serious look on his face.

Nanli Jingwei rolled her eyes at him, not believing his nonsense.

Back then, there were several proud daughters of heaven who admired and fell in love with him. If it weren't for special reasons, she would definitely have a few more sisters.

It was only later that her husband ascended to the position of Demon Lord and devoted himself to the affairs of the demon race and cultivation, and no longer had time to take care of others.
