"Now that I want to kill you, what do you want?"
The emperor's question was like a sharp sword that pierced over, sealing off all of Su Zimo's escape routes.
His killing intent rumbled and was almost corporeal.
Shrouded by that killing intent, Su Zimo could not move at all!
The Rain Admiration Pavilion was eerily silent!
Even Bai Yuhan who was standing at the side felt her heart skip a beat, let alone Su Zimo who was at the heart of the storm.
The emperor's cultivation was unfathomable to begin with. Coupled with the emperor's unique aura, how could any ordinary person withstand such pressure?
If it was Perfected Jin Dan, he would have knelt on the ground in fear as well.
However, Su Zimo stood there magnanimously with a straight back, neither servile nor overbearing.
"You want to kill me."
Su Zimo finally spoke and paused for a moment.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
Ji Yaoxue could vaguely sense something and was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
Su Zimo raised his head with a deep gaze that emitted a demonic glint. Looking back, he said slowly, "Since you want to kill me, I'll kill you first …"
"Eh, what are you guys doing?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a gentle voice sounded from outside the Rain Admiration Pavilion. It was soft and pleasant, interrupting Su Zimo.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat – that voice sounded familiar.
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice.
A young girl in a pale pink dress stood gracefully with her head tilted. Her oval face was innocent as she looked at the Rain Admiration Pavilion curiously with a pure gaze.
When he saw the young girl, the killing intent in the emperor's eyes vanished instantly. Although he was still suppressing Su Zimo with his aura, his gaze turned gentle, as though he was afraid of scaring the young girl.
"Yan 'er, why are you here?" The emperor's tone was reproachful and doting.
The girl in pink said coquettishly, "I heard that sister is back. I missed her so I came to take a look."
"Eh? Sister, why are you crying and standing there motionless? "
The girl in pink walked into the Rain Admiration Pavilion and saw the sobbing Ji Yaoxue beside her. She frowned in confusion and asked innocently.
Without batting an eyelid, the emperor released an invisible energy wave from his glabella, removing the restraints on Ji Yaoxue.
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Xue 'er, leave this place with Yan' er first."
"I'm not leaving."
With tears in her eyes, Ji Yaoxue looked at the emperor stubbornly and shook her head resolutely.
"Ah!"
Right then, the girl in pink suddenly exclaimed. She covered her cherry lips and looked at Su Zimo in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with surprise.
"Su, Young Master Su, it's you?"
The girl in pink ran to Su Zimo's side with an agitated look on her face. She grabbed his arm tightly and refused to let go, as though she was afraid that he would disappear before her eyes the next moment.
Dumbfounded!
Apart from Su Zimo, everyone in the Rain Admiration Pavilion was stunned on the spot, watching everything with dumbfounded expressions.
The emperor was stunned as well and instinctively removed the pressure on Su Zimo, afraid that he would accidentally injure the girl in pink.
Su Zimo was still rather calm.
The moment the girl in pink entered, he had already recognized her – she was the Demoness of the fiend sects' Pure Maiden Sect, Demoness Ji!
However, the Demoness Ji before him looked innocent and charming. Her eyes were clear, like a young girl who was uninvolved in the affairs of the world.
If not for the fact that both of them looked identical, Su Zimo would not have dared to confirm it.
However, on second thought, Su Zimo realized that Demoness Ji did indeed possess such capabilities.
Whether it was naive, charming, dignified and elegant, or delicate and pitiful, she could play them all with ease without any flaws.
It was as though there were countless split personalities hidden within Demoness Ji's body that she could switch between at will.
Su Zimo did not reply – he did not know what Demoness Ji was up to.
"Young Master Su, I've been looking for you painstakingly. To think that you would be here."
Demoness Ji tugged at Su Zimo's sleeves and pouted her pink lips, saying in an aggrieved manner.
"Yan 'er, you …"
Pausing for a moment, the emperor pointed at Su Zimo with a strange expression and asked, "You know this person?"
"I don't."
Demoness Ji shook her head. "I only know that his surname is Su and I don't know his name. However, Young Master Su has saved my life before!"
"Ah?
The emperor's mouth opened slightly, dumbfounded. His expression froze on his face and his mind was in a mess.
The Imperial Army, Bald Vulture, Bai Yuhan and the others at the side lost their composure as their eyes widened and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
What was up with Su Zimo?
The emperor only had two daughters and he had saved both of them before?
Was this man born to save princesses?
Ji Yaoxue was a little confused as well as she blinked her watery eyes at everything before her.
Su Zimo had even saved her sister before?
The emperor coughed gently and regained his composure, asking with a frown, "Yan 'er, what's going on? When did he save you?"
"In Chiyu City."
Demoness Ji replied, "Three years ago, I went to Chiyu City with Auntie Gu to play. There was once when I snuck out while Auntie Gu wasn't around. To think that I would have met six bad guys. If Young Master Su hadn't appeared, I would have been doomed. "
With that said, Demoness Ji seemed to have a lingering fear as she vomited.
Her words were half-true and half-false. If not for the fact that Su Zimo had experienced it personally, he would not have suspected it.
Furthermore, judging from the emperor and Ji Yaoxue's expressions, Su Zimo realized that the two of them did not know about Demoness Ji's sect at all!
"This child!"
The emperor shook his head exasperatedly.
Demoness Ji continued, "Later on, I chased after Young Master Su to ask about his residence and background so that you could reward him heavily. However, Young Master Su left straight away and I couldn't find him even after searching for a long time."
"Ah, I've got it!"
Demoness Ji revealed a look of realization and clapped with a smile. "Father, did you find Young Master Su specifically to reward him after knowing about this?"
The emperor remained silent and smiled bitterly internally.
Be it Su Zimo deceiving the emperor or killing the Imperial Army, this man had saved his two daughters at the end of the day.
Initially, the emperor's attitude towards Su Zimo was already complicated and he was not resolute in killing the latter.
Now that this matter had happened, the emperor had completely given up on killing Su Zimo.
However, he was worried about something else.
The emperor's gaze shifted between his two daughters and Su Zimo's group of three as he sighed internally.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Yan 'er, I have something else to discuss with Su Zimo. It's been a long time since you've seen your sister. The two of you should head out first."
"But what about him? It wasn't easy for me to meet Young Master Su. I can't let him escape again. "
Demoness Ji pouted and wrapped her arms around Su Zimo's arms, hugging him tightly.
The two soft arms squeezed with a hint of warmth and elasticity, causing Su Zimo's body to stiffen.
The emperor said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll let him go after speaking to him for a while."
"Thank you, father."
Demoness Ji smiled sweetly and walked to the side with a gentle voice. Holding Ji Yaoxue's petite hand, she smiled. "Let's go, sister. Let's wait outside."
"Yes."
Ji Yaoxue nodded.
Since the emperor was willing to say that, Su Zimo's life was naturally not in danger and Ji Yaoxue was finally relieved.
The two sisters left the Rain Admiration Pavilion hand in hand.
