Chapter 234 Declaration of War
In the Heavenly Palace, Jiuying stared at the quiet child in front of her with a constipated expression. She then secretly glanced at Wen Li, but dared not ask any of the many questions in her mind.
Everything His Majesty does is right. Could this child be His Majesty's? Impossible! Such an ordinary child, with no spiritual roots and not a trace of demonic energy...
Could it be that His Majesty has progressed to the point of wanting to raise children, so he's just picking up a random child to practice on before looking for male concubines?
After being caught peeking ninety-nine times at Jiuying, Wen Li opened her eyes and glared at her, "Spit it out!"
"Your Majesty, did you find this child?"
"Otherwise what? Did I sculpt it?"
Jiuying shut her mouth, realizing that it was indeed as she had thought. It seemed she would have to hurry up and give the Venerable one a surprise.
Wen Li stared at the child and asked, "Your name is Gou Dan? Li Gou Dan?"
The child was very well-behaved and explained gently, "My parents were afraid I wouldn't live long, so they gave me this name. Master, I'm very obedient and eat very little. When can you teach me swordsmanship? I want to learn skills as soon as possible so I can go down and protect my mother."
Wen Li was touched by how sensible and filial the child was, but Jiu Ying next to her laughed loudly and mocked her.
"Hahahaha... How ridiculous you humans are! You don't even have a spiritual root, yet you want to learn skills?"
"Hahahaha... That's hilarious. Someone like you should just die sooner rather than later so you don't become a burden to others. You still want to protect others, hahaha..."
The child lowered his head and silently shed tears after hearing what she said.
As Jiuying laughed, she suddenly felt the deathly gaze from above. She immediately shut her mouth, forgetting that the child was brought by the Venerable One. So she stammered, "I... I just thought he was a bit naive, nothing more..."
After saying that, she immediately backed away, pretending to be dead.
Wen Li: "Don't cry, or I'll pull your tongue out."
Dog Egg immediately wiped away his tears.
"If you can't cultivate immortality, master the sword, learn some martial arts, and you'll be able to protect not just one person, but ten."
"really?"
"I'm not one to brag, I'll personally teach you a few tricks later."
Hearing her say that, the child smiled again and nodded obediently.
"Jiuying, take the person downstairs to eat something and rest properly."
"Oh."
The child obediently followed Jiu Ying, and would look back at her from time to time. Wen Li thought that teaching for a month would be fine, since she still had some time.
But Wen Li soon realized she had been tricked. Two days after she left, a shocking event occurred in the Three Realms.
King Liang Qi, along with 100,000 people, voluntarily sacrificed themselves to the formation. The entire Moon Half City was burned down, and Danli was completely isolated from the human world by the formation. People couldn't even find a way to enter Danli.
Everything seems different now; Liang Tiantian is dead.
The funeral cost 100,000 yuan on the 15th of the lunar month—so many years late, yet it still happened after all…
Liu Yunyun lied to him; she knew she was going to die, and she offered herself as a sacrifice willingly.
Wen Li just couldn't understand how she could bear to leave such a young child behind.
Following the Mid-Autumn Festival incident, before people could even recover from the shock, another event quickly captured their attention. While the rabbit disease remained unresolved, the Demon Lord seized the opportunity to declare war on humanity, claiming he would lead both demons and monsters to attack the human realm in a month.
The already turbulent world is now in even greater chaos. The emperor has gone into seclusion, leaving only the imperial advisor to lead the troops and strengthen defenses.
Compared to the worries and fears of the human race, all the demons, both in heaven and on earth, seemed very excited; they had long awaited this battle.
"Your Majesty! You are truly brilliant! While they are still dealing with the rabbit hairpin problem and that good-for-nothing Shen Yingsi is still in seclusion, we are bound to win this battle!" Jiuying said excitedly.
"You mean I took advantage of someone's vulnerability?"
"No! No! Your Majesty, I mean no matter what tricks they use, we will definitely win! Don't you agree?"
"Yes! Lord Jiuying is right!"
"This time, we will definitely raze the world to the ground, raze the world to the ground!"
"Crush the world!"
The demons below shouted arrogantly. Sensing the fear in the child behind her, Wen Li pulled the child out from behind with a hint of disgust and gestured for the demons below to be quiet.
"So big, yet so timid?"
Dog Egg shook his head and asked, "Are you going to kill people? Will you kill my mother, and kill me?"
He was unaware that his mother had died.
Wen Li was speechless for a long time before teasingly asking, "Guess?"
"Do you think we should kill him? Or should we kill his mother?"
The people below burst into laughter, trying to frighten the child with menacing expressions.
“Kill, of course we’ll kill you! But don’t worry, child, if you can make our Lord happy, we can kill you later, hahahaha…”
Dog Egg's eyes turned red, and he suddenly bit Wen Li's hand. The demons below were so frightened that they wanted to kill the ignorant child, but Wen Li stopped them.
She let the child bite her, and even as blood seeped from the back of her hand, she didn't care and just watched quietly.
The child felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze and let go of her mouth on his own.
"Why did you stop biting? You won't have another chance next time. Jiuying, take him away."
Jiuying carried the person away, and Gou Dan began to struggle desperately, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! You bunch of bad guys! Bad people! Let me go!"
"Anle, what about those two surnamed Zhao?"
"Oh, they're still dealing with rabbit disease? Those who took the medicine are still recovering. Your Majesty, I suddenly had an idea. When the great battle comes, how about we send the Demonic Sect to lead the charge? Let them stand in front of us..."
With the child no longer around, everyone began to talk freely about the great battle a month from now, and discussed the specific battle plan.
Everyone was laughing, everyone was excited, and they even had a banquet together that night, even though they didn't need to eat.
At the banquet, the demons cheered and praised Wenli's greatness.
They said that the Demon Lord had once again saved them from hell.
Their Demon Lord is the greatest demon in the Three Realms! The Demon Lord will protect them forever and ever.
Your Majesty must stay with them forever!
As Anle drank his wine, he recalled the first time he met Wen Li. At that time, he never imagined that she would be the Demon Lord.
"Your Excellency, to be honest, when I first learned of your identity, I was afraid that you would abandon us and go to help those mortals."
The demon next to her shoved her and scolded, "Are you stupid? That's the Demon Lord! How could the Demon Lord help those mortals? She's on our side."
"Yes, the Demon Lord is in cahoots with us."
Jiuying was clearly drunk. She hugged Wenli, crying and calling out, "Your Majesty, you're finally back!" Tears soaked Wenli's clothes. She smiled and pushed her aside, but her eyes were full of indifference.
She looked calmly at the group of foolish demons before her, her heart filled with contempt.
Who is in cahoots with them?
Once all the demons were drunk and everyone was sprawled out in a pile, Wen Li quietly left.
She hadn't figured out the rabbit disease yet; she needed to confirm something.
