After entering the rear hall of Grand Demon Palace and seeing Brother Cheng, the Cyan Dragon Emperor almost couldn't control his temper.
In the spacious and luxurious hall, groups of female demons, transford into human shapes, danced gracefully.
Their dance moves were graceful and bold.
Beside them, the Sparrow Race's band was playing joyously, the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Brother Cheng was half-lying on the throne, with a table full of rare delicacies and fine wines in front of him.
Beside him, a sparrow, a rabbit, a oriole, and a swallow — four beautiful female demons, also transford into human shapes, were serving him.
Absurd!
Now, with powerful external enemies about to invade.
Yet he, the Lord of the Demon Realm, was busy reveling in pleasures?
It's the perfect template for a muddle-headed emperor!
This Demon Lord was truly chosen wrongly!
Completely and utterly wrong!
If it weren't for needing Brother Cheng's help, the Emperor would definitely have lashed out in anger on the spot.
Then he'd gather all the Demon Emperors and together they would join hands to depose the newly appointed Demon Lord.
This kid isn't even as good as the Qilin Race!
The Qilin Race, though back then they didn't do much for humans, whether Mo Lin or Yulin, were busy with countless affairs when they were the Lords of the Celestial Division.
Their diligence was enough to make the leaders of any force break into a sweat.
Looking at this kid...
The Emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction and slowly walked into the hall.
Seeing him enter with a sullen face, the dancing girls quickly retreated, making Brother Cheng quite displeased.
"What's the matter now?"
"Has the Immortal Alliance attacked prematurely, or has the Holy Hall sent its army?"
The Cyan Dragon Emperor considered how to phrase his words.
He still didn't quite find Brother Cheng pleasing to the eye; aside from the matter of the Water's Profound Pattern, there was no other reason for him to rush here.
But bringing it up directly would harm the Emperor's dignity.
So he had to be indirect first.
"Neither, I'm here to discuss the deploynt for resisting the Immortal Alliance this ti..."
Brother Cheng instantly lost interest in the topic.
'What's there to discuss, you guys just figure it out yourselves.'
The Emperor couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply, is this kid really going to just lie back and do nothing?
"You can't do this!"
"Why?"
"If you delegate authority like this, you'll be marginalized." The Emperor almost felt like he couldn't stand it anymore.
He felt as a senior of the Dragon Race, he should advise the juniors a bit.
Just think how tightly the Qilin Race held onto power back then.
Afraid other Demon Emperors might ddle in their authority, they employed all sorts of intrigue and manipulation.
And then look at Brother Cheng's way.
Even if others have no intent to vie for power, they can't resist when you proactively hand opportunities to them.
"Then let them marginalize..."
Brother Cheng casually waved his hand, "I don't care, if they are capable, let them do more work, we should be enlightened!"
What he wants is just the title of Master of Grand Demon.
Having the reputation is enough, the rest doesn't matter at all.
If he really had to manage things, he wouldn't do it; it's too busy.
Back in the Feixian Sect, wasn't he also a hands-off shopkeeper?
Sect affairs were completely unhandled, he just focused on showing off every day.
"Are you serious?"
The Elder Cyan Dragon almost doubted if he was speaking sarcastically.
"Utterly serious."
"Are you crazy? How can you even consider such 'let the capable do more' in this situation? Do you understand what power dynamics are, or what balancing subordinates ans?"
'Loyal minister' Elder Cyan Dragon was quite earnest in his advice.
Yet 'muddle-headed emperor' Brother Cheng couldn't care less.
"If there's nothing else, let's disperse, I'm busy."
"Busy with what, there's no one lazier than you!"
Cyan Dragon Emperor almost collapsed, he felt for the first ti that the painting style of the previous Qilin Emperor seed refined.
Thinking it's about ti to move to the main topic.'
"We need to elevate our strength in this battle against the Immortal Alliance."
"Oh, then go ahead and elevate it."
Brother Cheng also wasn't very concerned about the cheerleaders' strength.
Elder Cyan Dragon saw he still hadn't realized the situation, so he had no choice but to be direct.
"Actually, I don't really want to lower my status to bind your Water's Profound Pattern."
"But, having one more strength ans one more guarantee in the fight against the Immortal Alliance; for the safety of the Demon Realm, I can temporarily put aside my dignity."
"I have decided, I will reluctantly bind it..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, when Brother Cheng interrupted him.
"Since it's so difficult for you, let's forget it."
He chuckled and shook his hand, "I just dislike forcing teammates, after all, a twisted lon isn't sweet."
Forget it?
The Cyan Dragon Emperor was nervous.
He's been thinking about this thing for days already.
Recalling the scene where Cang Ling overwheld the two Qilin Emperors, he dread of experiencing the sa.
How could this be forgotten?
"Didn't you agree last ti?"
Last ti you were so eager for to bind it, how can it suddenly change now?
"Last ti was last ti, this ti is this ti!"
Brother Cheng sat back down again and sighed regretfully.
"You were so firm with your rejection last ti, it made reflect on myself."
"Indeed, I shouldn't compel others."
"Binding my Profound Pattern is such an insult to you as an Emperor, how can I do sothing so inappropriate?"
"Moreover, you are an Ancient Emperor, how could my Profound Pattern match you, right?"
"So I decided the Water's Profound Pattern should be left for soone else, maybe soone doesn't mind being insulted."
"How can it be left for soone else?"
This ti the Cyan Dragon Emperor was completely flustered.
The Water's Profound Pattern totally matches him!
If soone else binds it, then it has nothing to do with him.
He wanted to be 'insulted' now.
But the problem was he's very proud, words once said, he couldn't take back now.
"Actually... I'm not entirely unwilling to accept..."
Brother Cheng promptly refused, "No, please don't force yourself!"
"But the Master of the Water Rule is !"
The Emperor got a bit excited, he had to start selling himself.
"I'm second in this rule, who dares to say first, can you refute this?"
"Can't, can't."
"If your Water's Profound Pattern is bound to soone else, it would be a great waste, don't you think?"
"Don't think so, whoever binds it is binding it, isn't it?"
Brother Cheng said this, but in reality, he would still choose the Cyan Dragon Emperor in the end.
If he really randomly binds to a Quasi-Emperor of the Water Rule, the Water's Profound Pattern will definitely not reach 'Eighth Layer.'
But since the old fellow was so arrogant last ti, it's not going to be easy now.
"How can you be so casual?"
The Emperor was quite angry, "You are being irresponsible toward that Water's Profound Pattern!"
He acted like the pattern was his.
"That's my business, I don't care." Brother Cheng said deliberately.
"You!"
The Emperor was furious, finally roaring fiercely, "Your Profound Pattern must be bound to , for the big picture!"
"Elevating my strength gives us a greater power to fight against the Immortal Realm!"
"As Master of Grand Demon, you have the duty to defend the Demon Realm, it's what you should do!"
