"Xiao Xi, come and greet Your Highness, Emperor Qin." The corners of the Demon Emperor's mouth curled up, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes. Seeing Lin Muyu's shocked and pained expression was exactly what he wanted to see.
Tang Xiaoxi walked gracefully in front of Lin Muyu and bowed. This was the etiquette of a lady in the Empire. Her eyes were filled with indifference and coldness, as if she had never known Lin Muyu. She said softly, "The God Race's Third Princess, Tang Xiaoxi, greets Your Highness, Emperor Qin!"
Lin Muyu slowly stood up and looked at Tang Xiaoxi. His chest hurt, as if thousands of arrows had pierced his heart. His telekinesis could not sense Tang Xiaoxi's emotions at all. The Tang Xiaoxi in front of him was no longer the Princess Xi from before.
"Greetings, Your Highness Xi …"
Lin Muyu cupped his fists and raised his arms, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Only a person who could control his emotions was worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Lin Muyu was such a person. He endured the heart-wrenching pain and had no choice but to face everything in front of him.
Tang Xiaoxi had changed. She had become the Demon Race's Third Princess. There was no longer any spirituality in her eyes. It was as if she had become another person, and this person did not know Lin Muyu at all.
"Come, Xiao Xi, sit beside Imperial Father," the Demon Emperor said with an affectionate smile.
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes, Imperial Father."
…
Lin Muyu sat down in a daze, his fists clenched tightly on his legs. Faint golden Supreme Divine Power rippled around him, but he didn't do anything. He was trying his best to control the chaotic energy that was brought about by his emotions. If he couldn't control it, this place would turn into ruins at any moment.
Wei Chou looked at Lin Muyu worriedly. Along the way, Wei Chou had personally witnessed the sincere feelings between Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi. He knew how heavy a blow it was for Lin Muyu. After pushing the wine glass forward a few centimeters, Wei Chou asked softly, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Lin Muyu shook her head slowly.
Wei Chou's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Princess Xi's sea of consciousness is in a daze. She must have been bewitched by demonic arts. Your Highness, please don't act rashly. We need to wait for the right opportunity to snatch Princess Xi back and cure her."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded his head forcefully. Wei Chou's words were like a cure that made him feel enlightened.
"Come, come, come …"
The Demon Emperor stood up and said with a smile, "Today is Ning 'er's 22nd birthday, and it's also the day that the Celestial Race and the human race form an alliance. Let's drink to our hearts' content and look forward to the future of peace and prosperity!"
Everyone stood up one after another. When the wine entered their throats, it burned their throats. The wine that the Demon Race drank was usually strong, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the harsh winter in the Tongtian Gorge. It was no wonder that the high-level Demon Race was so intelligent and brave.
QianFeng stood up and said with a smile, "Since it's an alliance, I hope Your Highness King Qin can tell us about it. Let's take this opportunity to draft up the conditions of the alliance. What do you think?"
"That's exactly what we're thinking." Lin Muyu said lightly, "Wei Chou, discuss the details of the alliance with Marshal QianFeng. This … I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Wei Chou smiled at QianFeng and drank a cup of wine. Then, they started to discuss the details of the alliance with each other. They kept haggling over the territory in the Tongtian Province and the military garrison. It didn't seem like an alliance, but more like a market. Even a small copper mine in the Tongtian Province would be debated for a long time.
This banquet was destined to be a long one, and QianFeng and the Demon Emperor wanted to discuss the alliance until the night. Then, they would sign the alliance during the banquet.
However, Lin Muyu, QianFeng, and the Demon Emperor all knew that this alliance was only used to fool fools. The reason why they delayed it until the night was probably because it was more convenient to take action at night.
Time passed quickly. Situ Sen, Fengxi, and the others soon mingled with the high-ranking Demon Race generals. The only thing they had in common was that none of the high-ranking Dragon Army officers were drunk. Everyone controlled their alcohol tolerance. Some used their battle qi to vent the alcohol, some secretly spat it on their towels, and some only drank one cup at a time, leaving half a cup for the fish.
Lin Muyu often looked at Tang Xiaoxi, who was a few meters away. Tang Xiaoxi also looked at her, but there was no trace of emotion in Tang Xiaoxi's eyes. Lin Muyu almost didn't dare to look at her again.
In the blink of an eye, night fell. Finally, the debate between Wei Chou and QianFeng came to an end. The clerk at the side had already written more than ten pages about the division of the Tongtian Province and the terms of the separatist regime. However, everyone knew that it was all nonsense.
…
"Your Majesty, please present the imperial seal." QianFeng held the alliance and knelt respectfully in front of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor nodded. He took out the imperial seal with a divine dragon engraved on it from his spatial bag and stamped it on the alliance.
QianFeng passed the tray to Situ Xue. Situ Xue walked over gracefully and knelt on one knee in front of Lin Muyu. She said, "Please present the Emperor Qin's Imperial Seal."
The Emperor Qin's Imperial Seal was made according to the national policy of the Three Princes. This seal had supreme authority and could make decisions with one vote. Its authority was far above the seals of Prince Xin and Prince Zhong.
Lin Muyu took out the Emperor Qin's Imperial Seal. Two blood-red seals landed on the alliance, one for each side.
"Is the banquet ready?" The Demon Emperor asked with a smile.
Lin Muyu nodded. "I'll listen to the arrangements."
"Alright, let's start!"
A group of demonic musicians started playing a type of stringed instrument. The maids served the sumptuous banquet. The demonic race was indeed overflowing with wealth.
Lin Muyu looked at the crowd. Wei Chou, Situ Sen, and the rest were holding a wine glass in one hand while their other hand was already on the hilt of the sword at their waist. The atmosphere of the banquet was even more tense!
However, the demonic race didn't make a move. They didn't do anything even after the banquet ended.
"Xiao Xi, you used to be acquainted with His Highness Emperor Qin. Go and accompany him," the Demon Emperor suddenly said.
Lin Muyu frowned. Could it be … that the Demon Emperor's real trump card was Tang Xiaoxi?
Looking at Wei Chou and the rest, Lin Muyu reached out and patted his shoulder. However, she had unknowingly placed the dagger with the Heavenly Book of the Law of Space into Wei Chou's waist. Wei Chou immediately understood and said, "Your Highness, be careful."
"There's no need to wait for me. Follow the plan."
"Yes!"
…
Outside the tent, the stars were shining brightly. Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi walked side by side in the small town. A cool breeze blew in the distance, bringing a hint of coolness to the hot night. However, Tang Xiaoxi didn't say a word. She walked slowly without saying a word. It was as if she had nothing to say to Lin Muyu.
Behind them, Lianxiao's aura appeared. There was also a group of high-level demonic guards with shields in their hands.
Lin Muyu frowned. He tried to use his Supreme Divine Power to attack the wall of space. However, he found that the four-dimensional energy was beginning to become chaotic, as if it was being interfered with!
He glanced around and found that the surface of the shields of the guards were glowing red. It was the Stalactite Absorbing Rock! QianFeng had indeed planned everything. He used the Stalactite Absorbing Rock to interfere with the topographical magnetic field here so that Lin Muyu couldn't use the power of breaking through the void to teleport away. However, what was their trump card? Was it Tang Xiaoxi?
There was a small bamboo forest in front of them. The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze. It was indescribably tranquil.
Lin Muyu stood still and said, "Okay, we'll stop here."
He turned to look at Tang Xiaoxi. Tang Xiaoxi also raised her head and looked at him with a pair of familiar eyes.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?" he asked.
"Nothing. Why do you ask?" Tang Xiaoxi's words were like frost.
"Did you kill Xiao Yin?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Yes."
"You …" Lin Muyu gritted her teeth. She didn't expect Tang Xiaoxi to admit it so easily. For a moment, her emotions were in turmoil. She said with a livid face, "Have you forgotten the promise you made to me and Xiao Yin? We said we would never let her down. How can you do this?! "
"What about me?"
Tang Xiaoxi looked straight at him. Her pair of beautiful eyes were full of affection. She said, "Mu, you know I love you too. But Qin Yin took you away from me. What did I do wrong?"
"Killing Xiao Yin. Is this how you love me?"
"Otherwise?"
Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes were slowly covered with gold. Her body was enshrouded in flames. She revealed a cruel smile, "I … I am the daughter of the God Emperor. I am the third princess of the God Race, Tang Xiaoxi. And you are Lin Muyu, the number one enemy of the God Race. Do you want me to love you?"
"You …"
"Come on …" Tang Xiaoxi suddenly opened her arms. Her smile was full of charm, "Spoil me. Isn't this what you always wanted? Mu, I am Xiao Xi … "
Lin Muyu looked at her in disappointment, her whole body was in a daze.
But Tang Xiaoxi opened her arms and embraced Lin Muyu. She stood on her tiptoes and pressed her red lips on his. Her soft and fragrant tongue gently teased Lin Muyu. Her tenderness seemed to be able to melt everything. The surrounding divine power was buzzing. Lin Muyu stood there in a daze. He did not use his supreme divine power. He wanted to gamble. He wanted to fight.
Holding Tang Xiaoxi's delicate body, Lin Muyu kissed her. The moonlight shone on his face. He looked so handsome. His clear eyes looked straight at Tang Xiaoxi. Feeling Tang Xiaoxi's blood-red claws on his back, Lin Muyu suddenly smiled. His smile was so sad. He murmured, "Is this how you killed Xiao Yin? Now, do you want to kill me like this? "
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned. Her claws, which were full of demon power, slowly shrank. She trembled and still held Lin Muyu. She closed her eyes in pain and tears came out, "I don't want to … I … I can't … Mu, I … go, leave me, leave me, quickly …"
…
"What's going on?"
Lian Xiao's eyes were cold. "Why hasn't Nine Tails made a move?"
"I don't know …"
"Dong, dong, dong …"
The war drums roared. Lian Xiao immediately pulled out her sword and shouted, "The military order is here. If she doesn't make a move, we will!"
