World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 975: 450: The Supreme Queen!_3

Among all the women under the heavens, who could exceed the one before me in wisdom, martial prowess, beauty, and nobility?

The beauty and status of Ji Xiuning are not inferior to Zhi Yan before my eyes, but she lacks popularity, as if she were a bodhisattva in a temple.

"Priest Yan Ping, you may leave. Do not come to see me again," Zhi Yan Princess said indifferently. "Though my husband would not mind, it is always improper for a wife to meet with another man in private."

Yan Ping’s face turned somewhat embarrassed, and as he stood up to bow, he said, "Priest Yan Ping takes his leave!"

Then he staggered out.

His embarrassment was not due to the failure of the negotiation, for it was unrelated to him and would not affect his future.

Instead, it was because of his high self-esteem and belief in his unmatchable talent. Now, to be so thoroughly overshadowed by a woman’s intellect and perception was a severe blow to his ego—that was the real source of his discomposure.

As Yan Ping was walking out the door, Zhi Yan suddenly called out, "Wait, please hold!"

Yan Ping halted his steps and asked, "Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"

Of course, he no longer harbored any hope that Zhi Yan would change her mind. In the face of such genuine intelligence, all words were futile.

Princess Zhi Yan stepped out, holding a small box, and handed it to Yan Ping, saying, "This is a gift from my husband and me to the young master of Yin Zhou, Fang Qingyi."

Priest Yan Ping smelled a tinge of blood, even through the box, distinctly noticeable, and couldn’t help but ask, "What is this?"

"The human skin of the Head Shopkeeper and Elder Fang Zeming of the Hidden Yuan Association," Princess Zhi Yan said. "I admit, my husband flaying his skin was unwise, but I think it perfectly demonstrates our will—to rather shatter like jade than remain intact like a common tile!"

Yan Ping’s body shuddered, almost wanting to immediately drop the box in his hands, but then he held it steady and once more bowed deeply, saying, "I take my leave."

Then, holding the box with the human skin, he hurriedly departed.

...

I do not know how much time has passed!

The frost covering Ashi Liren gradually receded, and a hint of rosiness appeared on her pale cheeks.

Then, she opened her beautiful eyes and slowly woke up.

On the other hand, Suo Lun fell into a deep coma, while Yao Xing continued to devour the Ice-cold Energy within Ashi Liren’s body.

At this moment, Ashi Liren realized how Suo Lun had saved her. She could clearly feel a mysterious force continuously devouring the Ice-cold Energy within her body, reviving her once again.

And this mysterious force was within Suo Lun!

Standing from Ashi Liren’s vantage point, she immediately made numerous connections and then uncovered a terrifying truth—a shocking secret!

In regards to Yao Xing and the World-Ending Demon Emperor, she knew far more than others!

Ashi Liren understood the Ice-cold Energy within her body very well—it was enough to kill Suo Lun ten times, a hundred times over.

Yet Suo Lun was not in any danger, and within him seemed to be a bottomless pit that could devour countless amounts of energy.

Hence, the conclusion was easy to deduce. Perhaps the World-Ending Demon Emperor, whom her brother Ashi Luo had sacrificed himself for, and whom the entire Dragon Temple was pursuing, was right before her eyes?

Could it be this man—extremely handsome, supremely intelligent, and irresistibly charming?

This outcome made Ashi Liren tremble profoundly.

Her entire spirit and body were trembling! It led to the collapse of her entire being!

Ashi Liren held Suo Lun’s face in her hands, murmuring to herself, "Suo Lun, are you the World-Ending Demon Emperor?"
