Chapter 1868: Chapter 165: Sacred Land of the Verdant Immortal! Gathering of the Twin Immortal Demon Tokens
“Miss Ruobing.” Elder Zhuo cupped his hands and sighed, “Luckily you’re fine, otherwise Jingming would have gone crazy. These days, he keeps clamoring to rescue you. Old Zhuo here can hardly keep him under control.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to cause trouble?” Wang Longyan glared at him, “Why can’t you just settle down?”
“Yes, yes! As long as Ruobing is safe, I’ll do whatever you say.” The Third Prince felt a weight lifted off his shoulders and returned to his playful deanor.
“Zhe i used a strategy to deal with that demonic vine, and the situation has been resolved.” Wang Longyan briefly summarized the situation and then asked, “How’s your bloodline talent now? What’s your position in the world’s best?”
As soon as his bloodline talent was ntioned, the Third Prince puffed up with pride: “Not bad, not bad. This prince has now reached Class C in the world’s best.”
“Class C in the world’s best?” Wang Longyan frowned slightly, “Isn’t that a bit low?”
“What? Low?”
The Third Prince’s face fell instantly.
He never expected that his proudly cherished talent would be looked down upon.
He explained reluctantly, “Ruobing, I’m still young, and I have room to grow. The old man at ho said that if I’m willing to turn over a new leaf, he’ll use our ancestral treasures to help advance to Grade B in the world’s best! And then, with a quick boost from the Codex, it’ll be a cinch to break into Grade A!”
“Even so, even if you inherit your family’s ‘Red Lotus True Demon Sutra’, at most you can achieve an Innate Taoist Body of Class C, right? Maybe a bit less.” Wang Longyan frowned as she glanced at him, feeling that this talent was even lower than she had predicted. Competing for the position of Demon Emperor might not be enough.
Is Class C for the Son of Heaven really that low?
The Third Prince felt defeated, his tone turning more lancholy, “Ruobing, compared to the Demon Lords through the ages, my talent isn’t bad, and it’s not inferior to that Little Demon Sovereign either~”
If it weren’t for his decent talent, with his constant antics driving the Demon Emperor to fits of rage, he would have long been punished beyond recognition.
Of course, he’s still beaten up quite often even now.
“After all, those are things for the future. Whether you can benefit from the ancestral treasure is still uncertain. Take these spoils of war.” Wang Longyan ignored his resentful gaze, taking out five demonic marrow crystals and handing them to Shentu Jingming, “These are demonic marrow crystals extracted from within the demonic vine, said to allow a demonic cultivator’s bloodline talent to awaken again. Five of them might likely allow you to move from Class C to Class B in the world’s best.”
“Demonic marrow crystals?” The Third Prince was stunned, becoming completely dazed, “Th-th-these demonic marrow crystals… Ruobing, you-you-you…”
“This is what you deserve, after all, you were the first to discover that relic.” Wang Longyan said seriously, “Don’t worry, I also have so for myself; these are extras.”
“Ruobing, you’re so good to .” The Third Prince Shentu Jingming was moved to tears, sniffling as he took the demonic marrow crystals and solemnly promised, “From now on, I, Shentu Jingming, am yours for life…”
“Shut up!” Wang Longyan’s lips twitched, “This was rightfully yours. Don’t force to hit you.”
“Okay, okay~ I’ll shut up, I’ll shut up, I understand Ruobing’s intention.” The Third Prince wiped his tears and put away the five demonic marrow crystals, his expression suddenly becoming more serious, “I know you can’t stand that arrogant Little Demon Sovereign. Rest assured, with these demonic marrow crystals, I’ll go back and sweet talk the old man at ho to scam so ancestral resources, and then inherit the Codex, so I should be able to directly enter the Innate Taoist Body. Hehe, even without inheriting the True Demon Sutra, I’ll be a Son of Heaven, I’m so awesoly amazing~~”
“With this, I’ll definitely be way stronger than that Little Demon Sovereign, and I’ll help you give him a good thrashing.”
“Never mind that, I’ll handle the Little Demon Sovereign myself.” Wang Longyan waved her hand, “Let’s part ways here, and et again if fate allows.”
The Third Prince wanted to ask her to stay, but swallowed his words.
He realized that Ruobing is a career-minded woman. If he didn’t achieve sothing worthwhile, she wouldn’t fancy him at all.
Thinking of the demonic marrow crystals in the storage ring, he secretly made up his mind.
He would never betray Ruobing’s earnest expectations, and would certainly go back to con the old man for all the ancestral resources.
At parting.
The Third Prince Shentu Jingming, with a rare serious expression, cupped his hands and said, “Miss Ruobing, farewell. But please accept this.”
As he spoke, he took out a Demonic Emperor’s Order and, without leaving room for discussion, stuffed it into Wang Longyan’s hands, speaking with boldness and authority, “Don’t refuse. I know you’re strong. But I, Shentu Jingming, have pride too. This thing is of no use to , keep it to ensure your own safety.”
Before Wang Longyan could say anything, he decisively executed his escape skill, turning into a streak of light and shooting into the sky in the blink of an eye.
His voice echoed from afar in the sky, “Ruobing, I won’t let you down~~~ I will co back~~~~”
Elder Zhuo bowed to Wang Longyan, then silently activated his escape skill to follow.
In a matter of monts, the two streaks of light disappeared across the horizon.
On the island at the port, only Wang Longyan and the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor were left standing there alone.
“Uh…”
Looking at the Demonic Emperor’s Order in her hand, Wang Longyan’s cool face showed a troubled expression, an unusual sign of distress.
This is the Demonic Emperor’s Order. Having it together with the Edict of Immortal Emperor… could they end up fighting?
Should the situation ever arise, if she accidentally used the Demonic Emperor’s Order and the Edict of Immortal Emperor at the sa ti, that would be one heck of a show.
