Chapter 132 Misunderstanding resolved
Wen Fuyue and the others exchanged glances, and only after confirming again did they realize what the imperial edict was talking about.
Wen Fuyue had been in seclusion with Ning Tinglan and was unaware of Xiao Ba's situation.
He was about to speak up to vouch for Yun Yici when Rong Xuan suddenly said, "My junior sister is indeed human, with a clean family background. I wonder what kind of talent the Emperor Zhao saw in the demon race?"
The emperor then recounted how he saw the steward, discovered that he was controlled by the demon race, and that was why he was drawn to search for Yun Yici.
Upon meeting Yun Yici, he was drawn to her by her similar aura.
Only then did he realize Yun Yici's true identity and sincerely ask her to be his partner.
Mu Yunjian, who had already climbed onto Wen Fuyue's shoulder, couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "That manager is under my control!"
The emperor scoffed, "You, a beast that cannot even take human form, dare to spout such nonsense."
He saw Mu Yunjian from inside the sedan chair, but he didn't think this thing, which was smaller than his palm, was anything special.
To call this rabbit a demon is an insult to the term "demon cultivator."
Mu Yunjian was trembling with anger. If forcibly undergoing the tribulation at this moment would expose his identity, he would have wanted to undergo the tribulation directly and take advantage of the lightning tribulation to kill that bastard Di Zhao.
However, the emperor's smile vanished the next moment.
Because Yun Yici spoke up: "The person who controls the mind of the person in charge is indeed my senior brother."
She omitted Xiao Ba's existence and recounted how she led Mu Yunjian to rescue Yu Suqing.
The emperor stared at her and pressed, "I don't believe it. Where did the aura of the divine bird on your body come from?"
The imperial edict had previously stated that the breath caused the cloud-like words to be mistaken for something of the same kind.
Ning Tinglan and the others stared at him in shock as he revealed his identity.
Ning Tinglan asked, "Master...who is he...?"
Wen Fuyue said solemnly, "I remember that a hundred years ago, there seemed to be a little phoenix that was stranded in the Demon Realm."
Wen Fuyue was also very troubled. Di Zhao was different from ordinary demons. He was not a demon, but a pure-blooded auspicious beast.
However, the fact that Di Zhao was able to gain a foothold in the Demon Realm instead of being enslaved shows that he was by no means a kind person, and may even be extremely tyrannical and arrogant.
If a conflict arises with the imperial edict, the entire Qishan City will be destroyed.
Unless other high-level cultivators from Qishan City happen to be traveling here, he can only try his best to lead his disciples to retreat.
Wen Fuyue's words directly confirmed the identity of the imperial edict.
At this point, the emperor no longer cared about his identity being exposed; he only had eyes for Yun Yici.
Yun Yici was pondering how to explain the aura emanating from her.
She was unwilling to reveal Xiao Ba's existence before because she didn't know what the Emperor's decree would do to Xiao Ba.
Now it seems the imperial edict was for finding a partner?
The emperor mistook Xiao Ba for her and did not attack her, so it is likely that Xiao Ba's life was not in danger.
With Wen Fuyue by her side, Yun Yici felt more confident than when she faced the imperial edict alone before.
She said, "If I tell the Emperor the truth, can you guarantee that you will not make things difficult for us?"
"We will absolutely not reveal our senior's identity or whereabouts to the outside world."
The emperor had kept his identity a closely guarded secret, leading Yun Yici to speculate that he had stolen his way into the human realm to avoid attracting the covetous eyes of too many cultivators.
After all, the true identity of the Emperor's Edict is Zhen Xiangjin. Although his symbiotic fire is powerful, there's always a chance of something going wrong. Look at Jiuying, he got caught while he was being reckless.
The emperor's jaw suddenly tightened, and the beautiful woman's face, which could smile or scold, froze for a moment before she said, "Alright."
Yun Yici then held up the impatient little Ba in her sleeve and showed it to him.
The tan-colored, fluffy chick stood in her hand, proudly flapping its little wings and chirping a few times as it saw the light of day again.
Di Zhao looked coldly at the chicken in her hand and said, "Are you trying to fool me? This is clearly a chicken that can't cultivate, it's not even as good as that rabbit."
“Our birds are always accompanied by a fire when they are born, and they are never this ugly when they are young.”
Yun Yici: Brother, I told you the truth, but you just don't believe me.
Little Eight couldn't understand the implications of the words, but it naturally felt threatened by the imperial edict and kept chirping at him.
Yun Yici said, "This is indeed a chick hatched from a divine beast egg that I exchanged in my sect."
The emperor had absolutely no interest in Xiao Ba, not to mention that in his eyes it was just a chicken incapable of cultivation.
Even if it were a phoenix, it would still be a male bird. What would he do with a male bird?
The Emperor looked at the struggling Little Eight with malice and said, "It's very simple to verify his identity. As long as he can pass through my Glazed Pure Fire alive, I will believe you."
If it doesn't pass, this chicken won't even leave a handful of ashes.
Yun Yici naturally wouldn't fall for the emperor's provocation, because Xiao Ba really didn't have any accompanying fire when he was born.
Furthermore, Huai Chuan also said that Xiao Ba might not necessarily be a phoenix, but could be some other divine bird that is not fire-resistant.
The situation remained deadlocked until Wen Fuyue spoke up: "I believe Xiao Ci's words. If this egg comes from the Treasure Pavilion, I can testify to its origin."
Wen Fuyue recounted the entire story of their entanglement with the egg in the mortal world.
Then he added, "You came to ask for my apprentice's hand in marriage because you misunderstood her identity."
"However, even if she is from the same clan as you, your behavior is still wrong."
"If you are determined to spend your life with a woman, I hope it is because you truly love her, you like her, you feel genuine joy when you are with her, and you feel that every moment spent with her is worthwhile, rather than because of her status, bloodline, or other external factors."
“Imperial decree, it is unfair to yourself and disrespectful to women that you force yourself to give your heart away like this.”
According to the theory of imperial decree, as long as it is a female phoenix, he is willing to devote his feelings to her with great pleasure, without even considering her feelings.
In Wen Fuyue's view, this was a sign that the imperial edict was not yet ready.
Emperor Zhao grew up in the Demon Realm from a young age. His natal Glazed Pure Fire was a natural enemy of the demon race, and once he established his territory, no demon dared to invade.
From birth to now, Wen Fuyue can be said to be the first person to discipline him.
However, Wen Fuyue spoke as gently as a spring breeze, without any condescending tone, and her words sounded very sincere, as if she genuinely cared about him.
Upon closer examination, there is indeed some truth to it.
The imperial edict, which made him feel disrespected, left him with a feeling of frustration and resentment that he couldn't vent.
While Wen Fuyue was speaking, Yun Yici also thought of how to prove Xiao Ba's identity.
She took out the last bit of eggshell that Xiao Ba had left over from her storage bag and handed it to the Emperor.
Xiao Ba had been soaked in the villain's Happy Ball, so his aura changed, but the eggshell can never be faked.
As expected, when Di Zhao saw the eggshell in her hand, his eyes flickered slightly, then his face darkened, and he turned and left with his nameless subordinate in black.
