Supreme Emptiness

However.

At this moment.

A fleeting shadow swept by, taking Qingde and disappearing without a trace.

It was Xuanyang.

His robes were ragged, his old face bloody and blurry.

His aura was somewhat depleted.

It seemed he had suffered a significant loss.

Just as "Banished Immortal Drunk" was within reach, it suddenly vanished.

Jiang Fan was furious: "You old bastard!"

"Why weren't you killed by the East Sea Demon Emperor?"

Thud—

The East Sea Demon Emperor returned, her breathtakingly beautiful face brimming with a sense of satisfaction and relief.

It seemed she had finally vented her anger.

"Congratulations, Senior Yizhu."

The East Sea Demon Emperor looked at Jiang Fan and grabbed his arm, eyes full of gratitude.

"Jiang Fan, you are a benefactor to our East Sea Demon Clan!"

"How should I thank you?"

Jiang Fan smiled gently: "When Senior Yizhu helped my Continent, she never thought of asking for any reward."

"Now that I help the East Sea Demon Clan, I naturally won't ask you for anything in return either."

"Let's call it even, Senior Yizhu. Don't be concerned."

What a good boy!

The East Sea Demon Emperor was truly moved.

Clearly, Jiang Fan could take advantage and ask for benefits, and she wouldn't be able to refuse.

But he didn't ask for anything.

"Jiang Fan..."

Her crystal eyes misted over.

The last time anyone protected her like this was when her husband was alive.

Jiang Fan smiled wryly: "Senior Yizhu, please don't cry."

"Vice Building Owner Gu is still down below; don't let her see and make fun of you."

The East Sea Demon Emperor quickly wiped the moisture from her eyes.

The more she looked at Jiang Fan, the more endearing he seemed.

"From now on, don't call me senior."

"Call me aunt."

How could Jiang Fan not know the immense impact a single "aunt" could have on a woman?

The worldly rule!

Meet older women than yourself.

It's acceptable to call those who you should call grandmother as aunt.

But remember to call those you should call aunt as sister!

"Alright, Sister Yizhu."

The East Sea Demon Emperor's face blossomed into a smile: "Sweet-talker you are."

"No wonder you can have several wives."

She really was worried Jiang Fan would call her aunt.

Though she indeed was of an aunt's age.

But what woman wants to admit she's been defeated by time?

"Alright, back to the palace we go, and I'll treat you with the highest Eastern Sea courtesy!"

The Yizhu Demon Emperor was full of gratitude.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

He pointed at the long dampness soaking through her chest.

"Sister Yizhu, don't mind me, you should quickly heal."

She had already been seriously injured in the battle with the Hell Beast.

And then had just fought with Xuanyang.

The injuries worsened.

The Yizhu Demon Emperor's heart grew warmer: "You're truly a gentle and caring person."

"Let's go to the East Sea Palace first, then we'll talk."

She took Jiang Fan onto a shell.

With a casual strike, she sank the giant ship of Sanqing Mountain.

"Ah?"

Gu Xin'er was shocked: "Yizhu Demon Emperor, is this alright?"

"The grievances between you and Xuanyang, perhaps Sanqing Mountain won't mind."

"But sinking their warship, won't that upset Sanqing Mountain?"

The Yizhu Demon Emperor snorted coldly: "From now on, every ship Sanqing Mountain sends to the East Sea, I'll sink it!"

Eh?

Gu Xin'er looked puzzled.

Could it be the pill recipe issue has been resolved?

She looked at Jiang Fan and frowned: "What did you do, kid?"

"Could it be that someone from Sanqing Mountain really told you the formula?"

Before Jiang Fan could respond, the Yizhu Demon Emperor reminded:

"Vice Building Owner Gu, Jiang Fan is now my brother."

"When speaking with my brother in the future, watch your tone and attitude."

What?

Brother?

Didn't Jiang Fan just go up there for a moment?

How did he get himself a Demon Emperor sister?

Jiang Fan smiled softly.

He poked Gu Xin'er's mask forehead: "Did you hear that?"

"Jiedan Junior!"

"Speak to me politely in the future!"

This made Gu Xin'er furious.

She thought angrily in her heart: "Master! Look at this guy!"

"He's gotten so arrogant, he dares to poke my forehead while talking!"

"I'll endure for now!"

"Once I reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I'll strip a layer of his skin!"

The remnant soul in the hairpin chuckled, saying:

"This kid..."

"But he truly has talent."

"This Yizhu Demon Emperor doesn't seem like someone easy to fool."

"Yet he managed to have the Yizhu Demon Emperor willingly protect him, even recognizing him as a brother."

"This shows that besides ability and character, Jiang Fan's words are quite persuasive."

Gu Xin'er huffed angrily without speaking.

Taking advantage of the East Sea Demon Emperor leading Jiang Fan under the sea.

She took out a small black notebook and wrote furiously to document Jiang Fan's misdeeds of the day.

"On the East Sea, poked my forehead, death once."

She then closed the book heavily and entered the Vast Sea.

Jiang Fan used the bubble given by the Yizhu Demon Emperor from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

After using it, the bubble turned into a thin layer of air that adhered to his body.

It automatically filtered air from the seawater, supplying Jiang Fan with breath.

At the same time, it continuously cycled out the waste gas.

So he wouldn't accidentally suffocate himself with a fart.

Before long.

At the deepest point of the sea.

Amidst the endless coral.

A magnificent palace, sparkling and illuminated, was embedded in the dark seabed.

The Yizhu Demon Emperor carried the two directly into the Imperial Palace.

Several sea demons with auras at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection immediately approached.

"Welcome, Demon Emperor!"

The Yizhu Demon Emperor looked around at the people welcoming her, frowning: "Where is the Crown Prince?"

"Didn't I ask him to act as regent for me?"

A sea demon stammered: "Reporting to the Demon Emperor."

"The Crown Prince said he wanted to indulge in being the Demon Emperor and has taken troops to patrol the East Sea."

The Yizhu Demon Emperor slapped the dragon throne, her face slightly angry:

"This useless thing!"

"If he were in the palace, Xuanyang might not have realized I'd left."

Jiang Fan listened with quiet confusion.

How could it be that with the Crown Prince there, Xuanyang wouldn't have noticed something amiss?

"When he returns, have him quickly go to the Washing Spirit Pool to attend to Young Master Jiang!"

The Yizhu Demon Emperor instructed.

Turning her head to Jiang Fan sitting beside her, her gaze softened:

"Vice Building Owner Gu and I will first go to the Mother Origin Cauldron to heal, so we won't accompany you."

"Coral, take Young Master Jiang to the Washing Spirit Pool."

"Before the Crown Prince returns, take good care of him."

The Female Demon Queen named Coral respectfully agreed.

"Young Master Jiang, please follow me."

At the same time.

On the Continent, at the Demon Emperor Court.

A hundred miles away.

In a valley blooming with a hundred flowers.

A young girl in white, so beautiful that she seemed not of this world, put away a nine-colored long needle in her hand.

This needle, it's unknown what it was crafted from.

Yet it exuded a powerful presence that seemed to press on the soul.

"The Heart Connection Worm can be extracted now."

The beautiful young girl in white said softly.

She was none other than the ageless Old Priest of the Demon Race.

Spirit Sound.

She moved lightly, and flowers blossomed and greenery thrived wherever she stepped.

As if a divine miracle.

Demon Moon followed behind, tightly pursing her red lips: "Mother."

"When the Heart Connection Worm is extracted, what will happen to him?"

Spirit Sound, without turning her head, said coolly: "Are you worried about him?"

Demon Moon spoke softly: "It's because the war between humans and demons has ended, isn't it?"

"If we can avoid harming him, then let's not harm him."

Spirit Sound smiled faintly.

Saying nothing.

Demon Moon felt a little uneasy: "Mother, let's talk about it when he comes to the Demon Race."

"In this vast world, where would we find him?"

Spirit Sound said calmly: "Finding him, is not difficult."

A rainbow appeared before her.

She stepped lightly onto it.

Walking leisurely along the rainbow.

And the rainbow pointed.

Precisely to the East Sea.
