Divine Oracle Cave Heaven.
Twelfth floor.
Luo Xiu entered the room carrying two bowls of noodles and saw that Luo Qingxian had already changed into a white dress. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, lifting her slender legs as she started to roll up her snow-white long socks from her crystal-clear toes.
From Luo Xiu's perspective, he could just see her lacy safety shorts, and suddenly found himself a bit distracted. He reminded her, "Xian'er, you're exposing yourself."
Yet Luo Qingxian wasn't bothered. She sweetly smiled, quickly put on her long socks, and cheerfully approached Luo Xiu.
"Your Majesty, what have you made for breakfast?"
"Noodles, with two poached eggs for you."
"Hmm... it slls so good. By the way, Your Majesty, do you think my makeup looks nice today?"
Luo Xiu walked over to place the two bowls of noodles on the table, then returned to her and began to carefully examine her.
"It seems a bit more mature."
"Yes, yes!"
Luo Qingxian nodded earnestly, "Now that I am a wife, I certainly can't be the sa as before. My grooming and attire naturally need to be more mature."
Luo Xiu pinched her nose playfully, "Did your mother-in-law teach you that too?"
"She taught a lot, like the Four Virtues."
"What are the Four Virtues?"
"Morality, proper speech, deanor, and craftsmanship. Those four virtues."
Luo Xiu waved his hand, "Forget it, nowadays won follow four other virtues: not to be beaten, not to be scolded, not to be criticized, and not to be offended."
Luo Qingxian giggled, "Xian'er won't be unreasonable like that. Xian'er will surely be a good wife."
"Your Majesty, you know, ever since I was young, I fantasized about how to be a good wife to Your Majesty."
Luo Xiu said, "I thought you were focused on cultivating the Way."
Luo Qingxian replied, "If life is incomplete and the heart has no anchor, what is the point of pursuing the Way?"
Luo Xiu nodded, "That's true. Alright, let's eat quickly, or they'll get mushy. In any case, Xian'er, just be yourself, we won't follow that formal stuff."
"..."
Monts passed.
Luo Xiu put down the large bowl heavily, letting out a contented burp.
"It's definitely the noodles I made myself, so tasty."
Luo Qingxian giggled, "Are you always so self-absorbed?"
It was only then Luo Xiu noticed that more than half of Luo Qingxian's bowl was still full. Her Highness the Holy Maiden ate very elegantly, almost slurping each noodle one by one.
"What, you don't think it's good?"
"No, it's just that Xian'er hasn't eaten for many years due to fasting, and eating suddenly feels a little unusual."
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Luo Xiu stood up, "Xian'er, you keep eating, I'll go check."
After a little while.
Luo Xiu looked at the anxious expression of Ma Muyang standing outside and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What is it?"
Ma Muyang hesitated to et Luo Xiu's eyes, "Big brother, when I tell you, you need to stay calm first."
"What on earth is it?"
"Well...yesterday, Eighth Master and I arrived on Yan Huang Star, but then... then we heard that sothing happened to the Empress of Yanhuang. Everyone is waiting for you to return."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze sharpened.
"What happened to Shan Shan?"
Ma Muyang furtively took a look at Luo Xiu and whispered, "You could say... she is at death's door."
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, trying hard to maintain his composure.
"Alright, got it. You go back to Yan Huang Star first, I'll be there imdiately."
Then he turned back into the room and said to Luo Qingxian, "Xian'er, sothing happened on Yan Huang Star. I need to go back imdiately."
Luo Qingxian could feel Luo Xiu trembling, surely sothing major had occurred, which made her worried, yet she didn't ask much.
"I'll go back too, to help you investigate the whereabouts of the Three-star Clan Leader."
"Okay."
...
Eighteen Realms of the Demon Domain.
Demon Palace Island.
Inside the Demon Ancestor's Sleeping Palace.
Luo Xiu appeared out of thin air, hurriedly walking out of the room to see the outer hall filled with people.
At this mont.
Xiao Luanzi and Kuang Pi along with others were confronting people in the hall, and the atmosphere was quite heavy.
Luo Xiu's appearance instantly broke this heaviness.
"Boss, you're out?"
Luo Xiu slowly surveyed the people in the hall, recognizing them as the various Demon Marquis of the Eighteen Realms of the Demon Domain, and the few elders.
Luo Xiu asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Luanzi chuckled bitterly, "Boss, it's about the Divine Husk... they discovered it."
Just then, an elderly man with white hair stepped forward, glaring angrily at Luo Xiu.
"Luo Xiu, you just arrived in the Demon Domain and already snatched the Divine Object of my Demon Race, this enmity is irreconcilable!"
Xiao Luanzi stepped forward, standing in front of Luo Xiu, coldly saying, "Great Elder, I told you, this is on my command!"
The Great Elder angrily retorted, "My Lord, you are also fooled by this thief!"
"How presumptuous!"
Xiao Luanzi roared, ice-cold gaze sweeping over everyone, "Anyway, I'm laying it out right here... anyone who wants to go for my boss will have to get through first!"
"My Lord, you are misguided!"
"Everyone calm down!" At this mont Kuang Pi stepped forward, saying, "Given the situation, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, Luo Xiu is the God of Mountains and Seas, he ca to the Demon Domain to refine the Divine Husk, entrusted by the Demon God!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing that, all the Demon Marquis Elders' gazes trembled.
"God of Mountains and Seas?"
"You say he's the God of Mountains and Seas?"
"And entrusted by the Demon God?"
Kuang Pi looked around, "I know you don't believe it, but it's absolutely true!"
"Utter nonsense!"
Then a Demon Marquis stepped forward, angrily saying, "The God of Mountains and Seas perished a long ti ago, where would there be any God of Mountains and Seas now?"
"Entrusted by the Demon God to refine the Divine Husk, that's ridiculous!"
"Sigh!"
Luo Xiu suddenly sighed, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm in a hurry. We can talk about this so other ti."
Finished speaking, he continued walking toward the outside of the hall, saying, "But I suppose you won't let leave, in that case, no more talking, you all co at together."
"Utterly arrogant!"
The Great Elder shouted, "Take him down!"
A few Demon Marquis imdiately leapt forward, surrounding Luo Xiu.
However.
Luo Xiu resolved the situation with just one punch.
With a thunderous noise, terrifying power reverberated through The Void, and the hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at the few Demon Marquis who were knocked to the ground, all with disbelief on their faces.
These Demon Marquis were White Emperor Strong Ones!
And yet they're not even a match for a single punch from him!
Xiao Luanzi looked at Luo Xiu's back, full of admiration.
Luo Xiu, expressionless, suddenly said, "Demon Venerable, I need to borrow the Teleportation Array."
"Alright!"
In a mont.
At the Teleportation Plaza.
Luo Xiu looked at Xiao Luanzi with an apologetic face, "Sorry to have troubled you."
Xiao Luanzi generously waved it off, "Boss, I don't like hearing you say things like trouble or not, do we need to talk about that between us?"
Luo Xiu smiled and said, "This ti I really have sothing urgent, once it's resolved, I will definitely co to the Demon Domain to give an explanation."
Kuang Pi took two steps forward, looking at Luo Xiu full of reluctance, "Brother, take care on your way, I'll be waiting for you in the Demon Domain."
"Okay."
Kuang Pi said, "Besides, you don't have to worry about the Demon Domain, we'll use the title of 'God of Mountains and Seas' to persuade those Demon Marquis Elders. When one day you bring them under control, the Eighteen Realms of the Demon Domain will surely be a significant force for you."
Luo Xiu naturally understood Kuang Pi's aning and said, "I don't want to drag the Demon Race into this."
Kuang Pi smiled, saying, "Brother, the Demon Race hides here in tranquility, but in the long run, we will surely decline. Only by following you can we find a way out."
Luo Xiu said no more and turned to walk into the Teleportation Plaza.
...
Yan Huang Star.
Teleportation Plaza.
No sooner had Luo Xiu appeared than he flew directly to the Imperial Palace.
"Shan Shan!"
"Where is Shan Shan?!"
"..."
