Chapter 293 It’s all a plan
"Demon Lord, please speak freely." His voice, like the man himself, was devoid of any emotion.
A sly glint flashed in Yun Yao's eyes. She summoned a jade slip, glanced at Emperor Yongyu, and then picked up her pen.
After an incense stick had burned, Yun Yao finally finished writing.
"Here."
Emperor Yongyu took the jade slip, his gaze sweeping downwards, and a crack appeared on his usually heartless and emotionless face.
She actually wants him to marry into the Demon Clan as a God Emperor?
Upon seeing this, Yun Yao let out a soft snort.
Didn't you keep saying you were doing this for the good of both the divine and demonic realms? Why are you silent now?
"God Emperor, your great love is praised throughout the Six Realms. Since it is for the sake of both realms, I believe you will agree!"
Hmph, I refuse to believe you'd agree to such an insulting request. Don't try to annoy people with those "peace between the two realms" rhetoric!
But the next second, Yun Yao couldn't laugh anymore.
"Very well, I will consider it."
There have always been methods of eliminating troubles through marriage, but... he is a God Emperor!
Yun Yao was stunned, her mind buzzing.
"Yongyu, are you crazy?" Yun Yao asked directly.
"What, is the Demon Lord planning to go back on his word?"
Yun Yao: "..." Is that what she meant?
"Demon Lord, I will give you my answer in three days." With that, a golden light flashed and he disappeared.
Yun Yao plopped down in the chair, her eyes somewhat vacant.
Even if it's a conspiracy, isn't this God Emperor going a bit too far?
You should know that for all these years, Emperor Yongyu has never had a woman by his side!
His "sincerity" forced Yun Yao to reconsider the issue.
Did he truly come for the peace between the realms of gods and demons?
But... even so, there are a million ways to reconcile, so why choose such a thankless and disadvantageous method that puts both sides at a great disadvantage?
What exactly is Emperor Yongyu thinking?
"Could he have taken a liking to me?" His decisiveness just now made Yun Yao unable to help but think in this direction.
But she quickly dismissed the idea.
It is rumored that the Eternal God Emperor was born without the five senses, and his heart was always cold.
Yun Yao shuddered as she recalled that cold embrace from that day.
Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time!
If marriage is really the only way to maintain relations between the two clans, it doesn't seem like she's at a disadvantage!
"If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a demon, follow the demon. At that time, won't the six realms be under her, Yun Zhouwan's, control?"
Thinking of this, Yun Yao laughed out loud.
She was just going to the God Realm to be a carefree immortal, while the Demon Realm welcomed the most powerful demon husband in the six realms. This deal couldn't be more worthwhile!
As soon as Qiao Yunan entered, he saw Yun Yao's eerie smile, and his heart skipped a beat.
What did he come here for?
Yun Yao waved her hand with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just getting familiar with the environment beforehand."
Yun Yao's words left Qiao Yunan completely baffled. When he asked her again, she only giggled and didn't give any answer.
……
The three-day deadline arrived quickly, and Yun Yao was already quite impatient.
However, she did not receive any news from him until sunset.
As evening fell, the sky was filled with stars, and a red figure soared straight into the heavens.
This time, no one dared to stop her.
She went straight to Emperor Yongyu's bedchamber, and without saying a word, she flicked her sleeve, freezing all the divine generals and celestial attendants at the door.
"Yongyu, get out here right now!"
There is only one person in the entire Four Seas and Eight Desolations who dares to act so boldly and recklessly in the realm of gods.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw that figure that was breathtaking at first glance.
"Yongyu, what do you mean?" She put one foot on the chair, looking exactly like a female bandit.
The person at the head of the table did not raise his eyebrows, but his hands with distinct knuckles were holding a teacup.
"Yongyu, I'm asking you a question. I said three days, and you still haven't sent any news. Are you playing me for a fool?"
"What's your name?" That was an irrelevant answer!
But Yun Yao still responded to him as if possessed: "My surname is Yun, my given name is Yao, and my courtesy name is Zhouwan." After a pause, she said impatiently, "Who in the Six Realms doesn't know me, Yun Zhouwan? Don't you think you're being redundant?"
However, to Yun Yao's surprise, he said, "Since we are husband and wife, I do not wish to hear this from other people."
Yun Yao was slightly taken aback. What did he just say? Husband and wife?
"What do you mean? This... means you agree?" Yun Yao asked.
"otherwise?"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Since it's a marriage into the family, how can I, the Emperor, have the initiative? Yun Zhouwan, did you bring betrothal gifts with you this time?" His eyes were indifferent, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
What he said seemed to make some sense, but... what about the betrothal gifts?
"what do you want?"
Yun Yao thought he lacked nothing and that the betrothal gifts were just a token gesture, but she never expected him to make such an outrageous demand.
"I don't want much, just your entire Demon Realm as a betrothal gift!" With that, he tossed the jade slip, already stamped with the God Emperor's seal, to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, but after recovering, she was instantly engulfed by raging anger. Her face no longer had the playful look it had before, but instead became sinister and terrifying.
"Yongyu, how dare you scheme against me?"
For figures like the God Emperor and the Demon Lord, revered by their respective clans, anything they casually wrote could change the world. If they were stamped with the symbol of their status, the deal would be done.
These conditions were written by Yun Yao, and Emperor Yongyu agreed to them. Therefore, the deal is already in effect, and the price they would have to pay to break the contract would be enormous.
There's a saying that goes, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," which perfectly illustrates this point.
“This is a transaction between us.” He said emotionlessly.
“Yongyu! The Jade Slip never said that I would give you the Demon Realm!”
"It's alright. Since it's a marriage into the family, a dowry is necessary. For ordinary people, a ten-mile-long wedding procession is already a very high honor. With my status, taking you from the Demon Realm is no problem. Perhaps, it's not even enough." The implication was that you had no choice but to agree.
Yun Yao knew what their words and writings represented, given their status. He was right; even if it wasn't written on the jade slip, according to the established custom, they should still give a betrothal gift that matched the other party's status.
Yun Yao's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, and her hand had already conjured her usual longsword.
"Since that's the case, then I'll make this deal null and void!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword in her hand slashed at him.
He easily dodged it, but the bedchamber was not so lucky; it was cleaved in two by Yun Yao.
"Yongyu, you want my Demon Realm, is that it? Before that, I destroyed your God Realm!"
Her body emanated a suffocating demonic aura that instantly enveloped the entire divine realm.
Yongyu's eyes darkened slightly, and a light sword radiating a dignified aura appeared in his hand.
"Yun Zhouwan, I must admit that you are the only woman in the history of the Six Realms who has amazed me. However, you should not have become a wicked demon." He said a lot today, but every word he said was a denigration of Yun Yao.
Yun Yao's eyes were filled with boundless rage; she was no longer willing to listen to a single word.
With hands forming a seal, a massive blood array enveloped the divine realm below.
This... is a summoning circle.
