"No!" Li Yunyang tightly crushed the line of text in his hand. After a moment, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Shirley, wait for me. I swear, one day, I, Li Yunyang, will definitely marry you!"
Heading towards the cave, Duck followed closely behind Xiang Xueer and asked anxiously, "Sister, are you really going to leave like this? Can you bear it?"
Xiang Xueer reached out to pat Duck's head and smiled bitterly. "Duck, you need to understand that forced love won't last long. If Feng Qingyang's last wish continues to trouble him, what meaning is there in keeping him against his will?"
Duck pouted and shook his head helplessly. "Love is really a troublesome thing. Sigh, I think I’ll just avoid dating!"
Three years later, at Snowy Mountain Summit.
With a loud rumble, the mountaintop collapsed. A Giant Snake slithered up, its red tongue flicking out as it roared angrily. The battle had been ongoing for three days and nights. Xiang Xueer calmly looked up and shouted, "Serpent Empress, for these years you've been gathering followers everywhere trying to usurp my position. Did you think I didn't know? I've tolerated you for three years; today is your death day."
"Hmph! Xiang Xueer, that line should be mine!" The Serpent Empress opened her mouth, unleashing a torrent of black energy toward her. Xiang Xueer flicked her sword, and with a flash of cold light from the corner of her eye, the Giant Snake's fangs were severed.
"Without your venomous fangs, do you still dare to be arrogant?" For the past three years, Xiang Xueer had kept the demon realm in order; these monsters never dared to act recklessly in the human world. Anyone caught would face severe punishment.
However, the Serpent Empress's ambition had grown increasingly bold. Initially compliant under Xiang Xueer's command just to bide her time for today’s assassination attempt was something Xiang Xueer had long anticipated; she never had any chance against her.
The Serpent Empress had gathered a group of followers here to incite rebellion but was caught red-handed by Xiang Xueer and executed on the spot. Keeping the Serpent Empress alive would only lead to future troubles; thus, she had to be eliminated today to prevent any future harm.
At the foot of the mountain, Duck sat in a lounge chair with a bag of sunflower seeds. Beside him, a Little Demon served tea and water while another held an umbrella to shield him from the wind and snow. Calmly cracking seeds open, he looked up to enjoy the fierce battle taking place on Snowy Mountain Summit.
Over these three years, Duck had secretly inquired about Li Yunyang with Lian Cheng Xue and Qingtian but heard no news about him at all. Feeling extremely unbalanced, he snorted softly. "Hmph! Lian Cheng Xue is now completely lost in happiness as he has become a son-in-law of the Nüwa clan. Qingtian has also inherited the Blue Dye Clan. These guys are just enjoying themselves without caring about our family at all."
Duck sighed as he looked at Xiang Xueer on the mountaintop. Ever since the Ruined Temple, his elder sister had not seen Li Yunyang again. However, he heard from others that Li Yunyang had rejected the marriage proposal from the Ouyang Family, which had caused quite a stir in the Exorcism Realm.
"Ugh, it's been three days already. Demon Lord Sister has been getting more and more sluggish lately!" Duck spat out a sunflower seed shell, crossed his legs, and stretched out his hand. "Bring me a strong cup of hot tea, then I'll take a short nap!"
Just as he was speaking, the ground began to shake. Duck frowned and looked up to see an avalanche tumbling down from the mountaintop towards him. Frightened, he quickly turned to run, but ended up buried in the snow.
"Ah-choo!" Duck sneezed from the cold, and a group of Little Demon hurriedly dug him out of the snow. "General, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Duck sniffed. It seemed like the battle on the other side was also nearing its end. Serpent Empress was clearly starting to retreat step by step. "What a joke! If you want to compete with my sister, you still have a million years to go!"
In an instant, Xiang Xueer appeared above Serpent Empress, thrusting her Azure Wind Sword fiercely towards her eyes. A horrific roar echoed through the sky as Serpent Empress curled up and began to roll frantically.
Following that, she swept her sword, and a head of a Gigantic Snake was severed and fell onto the Snowy Mountain Summit, staining the white snow with blood. Xiang Xueer sheathed her sword and turned to head down the mountain.
Seeing this, Duck hurried over and offered her a cup of tea. "You've worked hard, elder sister. Have a sip of water first!"
"Let's return to the Demon Realm," Xiang Xueer said as she patted Duck's head without taking the cup from him. With a wave of her hand, a large black door appeared in front of them, and after they walked through it, the door to the Demon Realm immediately closed behind them.
It took Xiang Xueer three years to build an Underground City through the Void Realm. After crossing a deep suspension bridge, they arrived at a towering Black Giant Palace, with its imposing ten-foot-high Red Lacquered Door.
At this moment, on either side of the entrance stood the Elder of the Seventy-Two of the Demon Realm, who had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing their return, they immediately bowed and greeted in unison, "Welcome back, Demon Lord!"
"I almost forgot; today is the annual Demon Realm Conference!" Xiang Xueer scratched her head in realization. No wonder all the Seventy-Two Elders were here. She quickly turned to instruct Duck: "Start preparing for the conference right away."
Duck proudly raised an eyebrow at Xiang Xueer, hands behind his back, and replied with a sense of accomplishment, "Demon Lord Sister, don't worry, everything is ready. We are just waiting for you to personally deal with Serpent Empress and preside over the conference!"
Xiang Xueer patted Duck on the shoulder with satisfaction, saying, "Duck, I owe you a lot for your help these past few years. Thanks to you, the Demon Realm is so peaceful now; you have made significant contributions!"
Duck was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly tears streamed down his cheeks. Hearing such praise from his elder sister for the first time made him so emotional that he stammered, "N-no, Elder Sister, this is what I should do!"
"Why are you crying all of a sudden? Alright, hurry up and prepare for the meeting!" Xiang Xueer turned and walked forward. With a loud rumble, Myriad Demons pushed open the doors, revealing a spacious road that extended deep into the distance.
In terms of both scale and momentum, Xiang Xueer was like a different person compared to three years ago. With Serpent Empress dead, there were no rivals left in the Demon Realm. She waved her red cloak behind her and turned to sit on the resplendent Dragon Throne.
The subordinates, Seventy-Two Elders, took their positions one by one as maidens presented various delicacies on the table. Duck approached Xiang Xueer's throne, cleared his throat, and began to preside over the meeting: "Ahem, the third Demon Realm Conference is now starting. Please feel free to speak up, Elders!"
At this moment, an Ogre Elder stepped forward and knelt down to report: "Reporting to the Demon Lord, the rankings for the four-year Exorcist competition have been announced."
Exorcist rankings? Xiang Xueer furrowed her brow slightly; she almost forgot. Ever since the fierce battle between humans and demons three years ago, both realms had suffered greatly. It was later heard that the Exorcism Realm would hold a martial arts competition every four years to re-elect the Holy Ten Exorcists and determine their rankings.
"Oh, this is a big deal. Ogre Elder, please read me the rankings!" Xiang Xueer picked up a goblet of fine wine and took a sip. The Ogre Elder then unfolded a long piece of parchment and began to read: "Saint Ten, tenth place: Ouyang Linglong."
Ouyang Linglong? Xiang Xueer's expression darkened immediately. What was going on? That brat actually qualified to be among the Saint Ten. Were all the Exorcists dead? This was simply ridiculous.
With her face darkening, everyone in the hall held their breath and stared at her expression. After a moment, she slowly set down her cup and suppressed her emotions before saying, "Continue reading."
