Chapter 2834 - 86: If One Day I Become the Great Emperor_2

In the Mirror World, Jiang Wang, of course, heard all of this.

He also tried to communicate with Chai Asi in his heart, but could not. Perhaps only by stepping out of the Mirror World could he truly guide Chai Asi with real sound.

So he could only watch from the sidelines.

But at this moment, he realized that this was definitely a treacherous question!

No matter how He Huating conceals his true intention.

His purpose must be reflected in his actions.

From the few questions He Huating asked, it can be seen that he always asked about some secrets that are difficult to speak of.

And if there is some commonality in the answers that allowed Xiong Sansi and Chai Asi to pass safely, there are not many aspects that can be summarized. "No malicious thoughts" might be one.

The question He Huating is asking now can easily lead to malice.

Frustration and arrogance are common traits.

After all, the world is filled with ordinary people, and those who remain unperturbed by honor or disgrace are few.

Moreover, with a heart full of thoughts, if one were to reach the absolute peak, how could Chai Asi not have some shameful delusions?

This question cannot be answered carelessly!

Certainly, one must speak the truth, but not all of it.

With Chai Asi’s wisdom, could he figure this out?

Honestly speaking.

No matter how Chai Asi is questioned, reveals any secrets, or faces any outcomes, it will not affect him, the Ancient God of the Mirror.

Because he had long since switched positions, no longer in the mirror in Chai Asi’s possession. The connection of the divine seal, too, he could break at any time.

But can he really watch from the banks and let Chai Asi fend for himself?

What Chai Asi had just said was exactly what he had fabricated offhandedly the first time he met Chai Asi in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. It was astonishing how this little monster believed his casual nonsense till now... How foolish!

If he wants to protect Chai Asi, what should he do?

How can he remind him?

The Ancient God in the Mirror suddenly had an idea, immediately channeling a thread of power into the Sincere Heart Divine Seal, causing it to jump three times in a row, to hint to Chai Asi to emulate Xiong Sansi and answer more carefully.

The great Ancient God called for me to speak boldly! And urged thrice in succession, telling me not to waste time!

Chai Asi received the great Ancient God’s hint and immediately blurted out—

"When the day comes that I ascend the throne, of course, I will appoint them as high officials!"

He Huating’s wrinkled face nearly twisted into a knot.

He somewhat doubted his own game rules; could it be that the rules to distinguish true intent from false impressions have failed?

Is this truly your real intention?

You assume the position of the Demon Emperor, and what you think of is not turning the tables, wielding power and prestige, but appointing them as high officials?

Chai Asi continued, "Throughout my journey here, Yang Yu the Mage and Shujia Lan the Mage have both shown courage to take responsibility, daring to fight and sacrifice; Lu Qilang is extremely gifted with transcendent spirit perception; Xiong Sansi is tenacious and reliable, calm and brave; Lan Ruo is meticulous and decisive in action; She Guyu is cautious yet low-key, and the Peaceful Ghost Messenger is steady with a sense of justice; even the others... are quite good!"

Among the many geniuses in the Shenxiao Bureau, he, the surname Chai, offered his comments, concluding: "They all have notable abilities and are pillars of our Demon clan. When I become the Emperor, I will make full use of their talents!"

Hearing this, the great Ancient God in the Mirror was almost about to clap his hands in applause. As expected, after spending so much time together, they have developed some tacit understanding. Chai Asi understood the deeper implication and answered very well!

Yuan Mengji felt a bit fortunate not to draw attention and not get involved with cause and effect by being categorized as "the others," but also a bit dissatisfied at being underestimated by the brat.

He now knew that Chai Asi had strong backing and had encountered something like the Chi Yun Mountain God; he was more than just a little monster with pure luck.

But what’s so remarkable about sheltering under the wings of a stronger being? Do you have the capability to depend on yourself like me, Yuan Mengji, standing honorably?

As for He Huating, he was somewhat infuriated there. Although he didn’t have teeth anymore.

Cultivation was merely at the Demon Soldier Level, and his combat power barely approached that of a Monster General, yet such a little monster truly envisioned himself as the Demon Emperor, with a wide ambit!

"Is it now my turn to ask a question?" Seeing He Huating remain silent for a long time, Chai Asi tentatively asked.

As the game time prolongs, grasping the game rules is inevitable.

He Huating had once been young too, once overtaken by the younger generation, stepping to fame on the corpses of predecessors, so he wouldn’t underestimate the wisdom of young Demon clans.

He realized he might not have many opportunities and must immediately select a target to capture!

This Chai Asi did not seem too bright, but once inside the game, it was hard to find a way to deal with him.

Who should be questioned next, and what should be asked?

He strained his mind with the little heart power left, thinking about these. He Huating calmly stared at Chai Asi: "What do you want to ask?"

Chai Asi had not figured out this game’s scheme nor knew what most effective question to ask. But he knew how to copy—didn’t Xiong Sansi ask a question that He Huating had to stop before?

He would ask this!

" Well..." he opened his mouth and said, "I want to know this game—"

A soft, boneless hand suddenly covered his mouth.

Fragrant, soft... Oh no, I already have Little Qing!

Chai Asi suddenly took a step back, glaring angrily at Zhu Lanruo, who rudely interrupted him: "Lady, please show some restraint! I once had thoughts about you when I was young and silly, but that was only once!"

Zhu Lanruo wasn’t angry, remaining calm as she said, "The rules of this game, we’ve all understood already, you don’t need to waste a question opportunity on that. Right now, we’re still in great danger. As long as He Huating wins once, he can capture the living source and directly crush us."

Chai Asi blinked.

The rules of this game, we’ve all understood?

Who is this "we"?

Why don’t I understand?

"Then what should I ask?"

The Emperor still needs to humbly listen to advice, and Chai Asi was good at accepting suggestions.

"Did I forget to inform you of a rule?" He Huating already had a sense of foreboding, saying softly, "Questions must arise from your own thoughts, not sought externally."

Zhu Lanruo turned her sparkling, phantasmagorical eyes, simply stating, "Do you have the final say?"

Having paused her strings in the seclusion over the years, she concealed strength that did not fall behind any new king on the Heavenly List. If not for realizing clearly that she could not give He Huating any opportunities, knowing that any ripple would lead the boat to capsize and end in destruction, she wouldn’t have stepped forward at this moment.

Since she chose to step forward, she naturally had her assurance.

With the help of the ancestor Zhu Yi, the development of her innate divine skill [Lan Yin Xu Guo] had reached a very mature stage.

Her most common use of this divine skill was to erase "Xu Guo" and restart "Lan Yin."

Changing an erroneous result to regain a good start.

This would undoubtedly be an ultimate divine skill effect in any confrontation.

But now, she applied another direction of the divine skill—assigning the bad parts of "Xu Guo" to others, while she took control of the good parts herself.

The dangerous test Chai Asi underwent was "Xu Guo," and now I would open the "Lan Yin!"

For enduring pain and suffering should lead to a beautiful start now!

Indeed, He Huating was weak to an extreme, even a small game required countless tricks and borrowed power to complete.

Indeed, Zhu Lanruo’s divine skill was terrifying enough to be used by the Heavenly Demon Zhu Yi as a means of scheming.

But He Huating’s layout, after all, was completed with a Beyond the Peak perspective, Zhu Lanruo shouldn’t be able to sway it.

Until He Huating saw in Zhu Lanruo’s hand a folded fan that she somehow held.

The broken string of hers was tied to this folded fan.

This fan didn’t look extraordinary, merely inlaid with jade and gold, seeming prestigious.

But He Huating was more than familiar with it.

He remembered every bit of jade color on that folded fan, he even remembered every stroke of the ancestor’s self-portrait on it when the fan was opened.

It was indeed not a treasure, but it was the token of inheritance passed down through tens of thousands of generations in the Cold Mountain Crane Family!

For six thousand miles where Chaos began, the first family west out of Yunling, the Cold Mountain Crane!

Why would such a token be in the hands of this little demon of the Spider clan?

There was indeed a game setter within, and while hiding in the Shenxiao World of Yuan Xi 3922, enduring a long wait for an opportunity, it seemed even he was targeted!

Connected to Zhu Lanruo’s initial direct approach to the Eternal Youth Spring, and her understanding of the name He Huating... he vaguely sensed a giant web capturing him.

At this moment, the killing intent in He Huating’s eyes almost took on substance.

But the cause and effect was already stirred.

Zhu Lanruo merely whispered gently, "So next, it’s my turn to ask a question."
