Chapter 628 Teng Snake

"Little fox, how much do you know about the Demon Emperor?" Xie Chang'an asked.

"Demon Emperor?"

Jiang Li gets angry whenever he's mentioned, "That bad guy who tried to steal my Dandan!"

Xie Chang'an smiled.

Fifteen-year-old Jiang Li was much more innocent and carefree than the Jiang Li he first met in the Cold Palace.

Indeed, she has lost her memories of the lower realm. How could she not be innocent and naive, being the darling of the Beast Taming Sect and the beloved pet of Baohua Peak?

She was implicated by her own actions, and suddenly faced a drastic change, going from a proud daughter of heaven to a pitiful little thing in the cold palace.

This huge difference did not defeat the little girl; instead, she became more courageous and resilient, carving out a vast world for herself. How could he not love and pity her?

With tender affection in his eyes, Xie Chang'an said softly, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to protect you, and no one else will be able to covet your spirit pet."

Don't even think about coveting you!

Jiang Li was overjoyed: "Senior Brother Chang'an, you're so kind!"

Xie Chang'an's voice was a little hoarse: "Didn't we agree that in private, I would call you Little Tanuki, and you would call me Brother Chang'an?"

"Alright, Brother Chang'an."

Jiang Li readily agreed; to her, there was no difference between Brother Chang'an and Senior Brother Chang'an.

Xie Chang'an smiled wryly, feeling both sweet and bitter inside. The little girl hadn't figured it out yet!

He got down to business: "The Demon Emperor not only wants to steal the egg, but also wants to steal people."

Jiang Li was surprised: "Who is he trying to steal? You and me?"

The Demon Emperor demanded that the Beast Taming Sect and the Sword Sect hand over the two individuals for the demon race to deal with.

It was because of this that her master and grandmaster decided to make her a Daoist couple with Xie Chang'an, to give her an extra layer of protection and ensure that she and the little green dragon could grow up safely.

Could it be that the Demon Emperor has come to demand their release because the two sects refused to hand them over?

Xie Chang'an slowly said, "The Demon Emperor has sent the elders of the Fox Clan to propose marriage, wishing to marry you as the heir of the Demon Clan."

"what?"

Jiang Li was stunned.

What did she hear? The Demon Emperor proposing marriage?

"Little fox, the Demon Emperor has offered you the position of Demon Queen, offering a large sum of money to marry you, and has promised to open the Demon Realm to the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect."

Xie Chang'an said softly, "Are you... willing?"

Jiang Li looked at him with disbelief. "Is he out of his mind?"

He's asking to marry a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, and he's not afraid of being ambushed and becoming a contracted spirit beast.

Xie Chang'an never expected that the little girl's thought process was so unique, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Little fox, do you know that the Demon Emperor is a great demon who has transformed into a god?"

A fifteen-year-old Foundation Establishment disciple dares to think of taking a Nascent Soul stage demon as a contracted spirit beast? Is this the fearlessness of a newborn calf?

Jiang Li snorted: "What's there to be afraid of? Haven't I already taken in a dragon?"

She has already accomplished what others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Xie Chang'an was speechless.

That's true, isn't good luck a kind of ability too?

"As the saying goes, never underestimate a young man's potential! I'm still young now, but when Egg and I grow up, I'll be able to take down not only Nascent Soul stage demons, but also Void Refinement stage demons!"

"That's right!" Xie Chang'an said with deep respect.

It is precisely because she has such fearless courage that she is able to do things that others would not even dare to think of.

So when she was in the mortal realm, as a mere concubine in the cold palace, she dared to plot to put the unfavored third prince on the throne, and in the end, she succeeded!

In just a few years, she rose from a concubine in the cold palace to become the powerful Prince Jing'an, and single-handedly created the prosperous era of the Great Chu Dynasty!

If the Samsara Mirror were to score all the disciples who were training in the small world, Jiang Li would undoubtedly be the best!

Jiang Li couldn't help but feel proud when she received sincere praise from the so-called genius Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Her feelings for Xie Chang'an grew even stronger.

Unlike his master and grandmaster, who treated him like an immature child and kept everything from her, he treated her as an equal friend and told her everything honestly. This alone made her look at him with new respect.

She didn't know that Xie Chang'an had the "affectionate" title of "henpecked" back in the small world, and whatever his wife said was right!

Back in the Upper Realm, although he had regained his cultivation and memories, Jiang Li's wisdom and courage in the Small World left a deep impression on him, and he was used to discussing everything with her.

Xie Chang'an then recounted all the information he knew.

"The true form of the Demon Emperor is said to be a Teng Snake with five thousand years of cultivation. It possesses extraordinary martial prowess, overcoming all demons before ascending to the throne of the Demon Emperor."

Jiang Li was speechless: "Five thousand years old! Such an old monster, don't you have any shame?"

She's only fifteen!

Even an old cow eating young grass isn't this exaggerated, is it?

Xie Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle. Compared to the five-thousand-year-old monster, he, who was not even a hundred years old, was really young!

"The demon race reveres the dragon race. Although the dragon race has always claimed to be divine beasts and considers itself noble, it is unwilling to be associated with the demon race."

Xie Chang'an explained in detail, "Although the Tengshe is also an ancient race, its bloodline is still a grade lower than that of the so-called divine beasts such as the dragon, phoenix, vermilion bird, and black tortoise. Therefore, its position as the demon emperor is not very secure."

There are many nobles among the demon race, and many people are not convinced by him. We are all ancient races, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Why should you be the demon emperor?

"So, when he heard I had a dragon egg, he tried to steal it?"

Jiang Li huffed, "To use the emperor to command the feudal lords?"

Xie Chang'an said approvingly, "Little Fox is absolutely right!"

Even without her memories of the lower realm, she's still that clever and witty little fox spirit—she hit the nail on the head!

By using the pretext of nurturing a "young master," the Tengshe was able to control the emperor and command the feudal lords, thus securing its position as the Demon Emperor!

Anyway, the dragon egg is just an egg, and it's unknown when it will hatch.

Even if they manage to hatch by chance, there is still a long growth period. Dragons are considered adults at two thousand years old, and by then, the Demon Emperor will have already completely taken control of the demon race.

What a good calculation!

Little did he know that the dragon egg had already hatched, and the young dragon had formed a life-bound contract with Jiang Li. The Beast Taming Sect would never hand over the young dragon.

"So, when he failed to steal the dragon, he came up with another plan: to marry me and make me his demon queen?"

The Demon Emperor was unaware that Jiang Li and the dragon egg had formed a life-bound contract, but he knew that she had brought it back from the small world, making her essentially a "guardian".

Animals all have a "baby bird complex," and the demon race is no exception.

If the dragon egg were conscious, it would definitely be very attached to Jiang Li, its "guardian".

If you marry the "guardian" of the dragon egg, and you become husband and wife as one, doesn't that mean you also become the "guardian" of the dragon egg?

"There's more to it than that."

Xie Chang'an said in a deep voice, "The Demon Emperor probably also knows your secret."

Jiang Li's expression changed. "What secret?"

Xie Chang'an sighed, "The Immaculate Spirit Body possesses a pure and transparent soul, which is pleasing to all living beings in the world. It can be said that there is no living being in the world who does not like you."

“A demon queen loved by all living beings can naturally help him secure his position as demon emperor.”

Jiang Li remained silent.

Her master had warned her long ago not to let anyone know that she had a special constitution.

Immaculate spirits are not only coveted by demons, but also serve as ideal furnaces for certain evil cultivators!

Xie Chang'an asked again, "Little Tanuki, do you believe me?"

Believe me, I'm not like others who came for your immaculate spiritual body.

Jiang Li nodded slowly: "Brother Chang'an, I believe you."
