Chapter 1677: Chapter 737: Ancient Demon Talisman

Inside the box lay a single fruit, its surface already glowing with a blood-like sheen. It was the "Senluo Ghost Fruit King."

The Demon King Tongtian planned that on the night of the birthday banquet—tomorrow—he would swallow the Senluo Ghost Fruit King in front of all the Demon Clan, let them witness his terrifying strength, then ride the momentum to rebel, take down Chi Ye, and become the Demon Emperor.

That was the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, the mysterious fruit that was rumored to raise a demon’s cultivation to a higher level.

Just by looking at it, Shui Yaoyao could feel the powerful energy contained in this Demon Fruit.

Shui Yaoyao had heard its name before, but this was the first time she’d actually seen it.

"Father King, are you really going to betray Brother Chi Ye?"

Though she had long known Shui Yi’s plan, Shui Yaoyao still refused to believe that her father truly meant to turn traitor.

"That brat Chi Ye treated you like that. How could Father sit back and do nothing? Even if I have to fight Chi Ye to the death, I will avenge you no matter what."

Shui Yi said angrily.

He’d sent Shui Yaoyao away partly to keep her safe, and partly because he feared his daughter’s feelings for Chi Ye ran too deep. If he kept her here, she might ruin everything at the crucial moment.

Even if things went smoothly, if Chi Ye still refused to marry Shui Yaoyao as his wife, the Demon King Tongtian would seize the chance to kill him.

How could Shui Yaoyao not guess what was going on in Shui Yi’s mind?

"Father King, I’m not leaving...I want to help you. Actually, I have a way to greatly weaken Brother Chi Ye’s cultivation. But you must promise me that once it’s done, you have to hand him over to me to deal with."

As Shui Yaoyao spoke, she told Shui Yi about her earlier encounter with Queen Xiyuan.

"South Nether Empress Xiyan? You said she gave you a Demon Talisman?"

"Exactly. Father King should remember that I once had some dealings with Queen Xiyuan. She seems to have heard about me and Chi Ye and feels very indignant on my behalf. She wants to help your daughter get justice."

Shui Yaoyao said.

The Demon King Tongtian was startled at first, unable to figure out Queen Xiyuan’s true intent.

But after thinking it over for a bit, he couldn’t help feeling tempted.

Rumor had it that Queen Xiyuan was born in the South Nether Tribe, a tribe of Ancient Witch Sacrifice. That tribe specialized in drawing all kinds of Demon Talismans.

Those Demon Talismans were unfathomably mysterious, and even the Demon Emperor might not be able to withstand them.

If what Queen Xiyuan had given Shui Yaoyao really was a Demon Talisman, Chi Ye would very likely fall for it.

As long as Chi Ye’s demonic power was completely stripped away, they could capture him, then force him to issue an abdication edict in his favor. At that point he could rightfully and legitimately become Demon Emperor. That would be much easier than being branded a traitor.

However, Yaoyao was still too green.

A woman like Queen Xiyuan had once dared to scheme against even the Demon Ancestor. How could she be so kind as to help them for nothing?

Could it be that Queen Xiyuan had some other conspiracy?

The Demon King Tongtian pondered, but when he glanced at the Senluo Ghost Fruit King that was about to ripen, the worries in his heart instantly melted away.

How could he forget that once he swallowed the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, he would become the Demon Emperor.

By then, let alone a single South Nether Empress—even if the South Nether Emperor himself came in person, what could he do?

What’s more, since Queen Xiyuan was currently in the Tongtian Tribe, he might even be able to use this opportunity to take down this Demon Empress famed for her beauty and savor the taste of the Demon World’s number one beauty.

As the thought flashed through his mind, the Demon King Tongtian only felt his blood surging hot through his whole body.

"There’s no time to lose. Yaoyao, contact Queen Xiyuan at once. During the birthday banquet, find a way to slip the Demon Talisman into Chi Ye’s wine. Tonight, Father King is going to swallow the Senluo Ghost Fruit King. You must keep this news strictly secret."

Shui Yaoyao nodded and withdrew.

After leaving the tent, Shui Yaoyao frowned.

Earlier Moonflower had only said that she was also in the Tongtian Tribe, but hadn’t told her exactly where.

Finding her in such a short time probably wouldn’t be easy.

"Little Sister Yaoyao, are you looking for me?"

Just as Shui Yaoyao was mulling it over, the maid behind her suddenly giggled softly.

Shui Yaoyao jumped in surprise. She turned and saw that the maid behind her had used some kind of Sorcery. Her previously Ordinary face suddenly blossomed into dazzling beauty. Who else could it be but Moonflower?

Shui Yaoyao hadn’t expected Moonflower to have been hiding by her side all these days.

After the incident with Wuyue, she had been paying close attention to the maids around her, yet Queen Xiyuan had still managed to fool every pair of eyes.

The two of them had once learned Demon Art together as young girls. Looking at her now, Moonflower’s demonic power was probably far above her own.

Shui Yaoyao was eaten up with jealousy, but since she needed something from Moonflower right now, she naturally didn’t dare offend her.

"Sister Moonflower, I was just about to go looking for you. I plan to do as you said and use that Demon Talisman, but you have to tell me first how exactly I’m supposed to carry it out." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"There’s no need for you to rush this. You don’t understand Demon Talismans; if you use it yourself, the effect may not be ideal. All you need to do is keep me by your side when the time comes, and I’ll look for an opening to act."

Moonflower gave Shui Yaoyao a cold look, thinking to herself that this woman was so stupid it was no wonder Chi Ye didn’t care for her.

She didn’t even bother to consider what kind of relationship South Nether City and Beiyu Palace had.

The Demon Talisman Moonflower had given Shui Yaoyao was an Ancient Demon Talisman passed down from the Ancient Times. She only had one left in her hand now. Once it was used, Chi Ye was doomed to die.

This woman actually still dreamed of spending her life with Chi Ye. After tomorrow, she could prepare herself to collect Chi Ye’s corpse.

"Tomorrow is Father King’s birthday banquet. I’ll bring you along to attend. When the time comes, I’ll have Father King arrange for you to be seated at Brother Chi Ye’s table. Then you can secretly look for a chance."

Shui Yaoyao was overjoyed.

On the Demon King Tongtian’s grand birthday, around noon, Ye Lingyue and the other nine Merfolk beauties began their preparations early.

Ye Lingyue was in the tent changing into her dance costume. The costume had been personally designed by Guangzi, who’d claimed it was the most fashionable style back home.

Footsteps sounded behind her.

"Fifth Sister, I’m almost done changing. I’ll be out in a moment."

Ye Lingyue was just speaking when she suddenly felt something off about the footsteps.

She turned and saw Di Shen, in disguise, standing behind her.

"Fifth Sister asked me to bring—"

Di Shen was holding a set of jewelry in his hands. Just then Ye Lingyue suddenly turned around. The moment his gaze fell on the clothes she was wearing, his eyes dimmed.

It was a gold gauze skirt with a bare midriff and dangling tassels, tracing out Ye Lingyue’s already fine figure and making it even more enticing.

Ye Lingyue’s face was veiled with gauze of the same color. Through the thin veil, one could faintly see seventy or eighty percent of her features.

Di Shen only felt all the blood in his body rush straight up to his head.

"You’re not allowed to wear that."

The thought of his wife soon dancing in front of those demons in this outfit made Di Shen’s face go dark. He snapped irritably.

"Why not? Fifth Sister and the others are all dressed like this. Doesn’t it look good?"

Ye Lingyue asked in puzzlement. She clearly remembered how beautiful Fifth Sister and the others looked in these outfits, sure to charm those demons senseless. With the Leak Essence Fragrance added in, their plan was guaranteed to succeed.

"It looks good. Because it looks good, you can only wear it for me alone."

Di Shen said, brimming with domineering possessiveness.
