NFBE Chapter 288 Beauty Trap
Chapter 288 Beauty Trap
When the God Emperor returned to his palace, all the gods knelt outside his bedchamber, showing no sign that they would not give up until they received a satisfactory explanation.
The man swayed, his eyes slightly lowered.
"Do I need your permission to do anything?" His voice was as cold as ice.
"God Emperor, you are the ruler of heaven and earth, and the leader of our divine realm. Although we have no right to question you, your actions today were indeed inappropriate. If something were to happen to you under that divine punishment, how would we explain it to the people of the divine realm?"
"Furthermore, the people of the Demon Realm are heartless. Do you think saving Yun Zhouwan today will make her behave herself?"
"God Emperor, this old minister believes we should take advantage of the Demon Realm's current state of disarray and conquer it in one fell swoop!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
He was the supreme God Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms. In the eyes of others, he was noble and inviolable, but for thousands of years, what he heard most was to think about the God Realm. No one ever asked for his opinion. He was like a puppet without feelings who only knew how to give orders.
He is the ruler of heaven and earth, compassionate to all under heaven. As long as his bottom line is not crossed, he will turn a blind eye and has never had a conflict with these divine generals. The years of concession and comfort have probably made them forget who conquered this divine realm for them!
"Heavenly Star Lord, do you know your crime?" His voice was devoid of any warmth.
The gods were slightly taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"God Emperor, your humble servant..."
Before he could finish speaking, he lost control and rushed towards the man.
"God Emperor!" All the gods knelt down.
The Heavenly Destiny Star Lord seemed to have never expected that the God Emperor, who had always indulged him, would actually turn against him.
"God... God Emperor!" he stammered.
"Slanderous and treacherous officials should be killed!"
He didn't give the Heavenly Destiny Star Lord a chance to explain at all; with just a slight twitch of his finger, a powerful being from the divine realm perished.
The rest of the gods trembled and dared not say another word.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.
"You have no right to speak on how the realms of gods and demons should be governed. Anyone who raises objections will suffer the same fate as you!"
After saying that, he disappeared.
The God Emperor, who had always been indifferent to the affairs of the Six Realms, acted out of character today, alarming all the gods. Even though they feared the Demon Realm, they dared not offend the Emperor at this critical juncture.
The years that have passed have made them forget how ruthless and decisive the God Emperor was years ago. Back then, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly in his presence.
He wasn't afraid of the gods' sharp words, but rather he simply didn't take them seriously. The Three Realms were ultimately his, the Eternal God Emperor's, possession!
……
The Dark Palace.
Their Demon Lord had finally emerged from seclusion, and the external threat had been resolved, but she locked herself in her bedchamber every day, refusing to eat, drink, or see anyone.
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for three days. Please have something to eat!"
Over the years, none of the demons have forgotten that their Demon Lord was a human woman, and that they always maintained human customs for her.
"Your Majesty, you... ah!" Before the servant could finish speaking, he was pulled inside by the people inside.
Yun Yao closed the door and looked down at the trembling person in front of her.
"What are you shaking for?"
"Please...please don't look at me like that."
Yun Yao: "..." Is she really that scary?
"Stand up straight!"
The servant put down the food he was carrying and stood up straight.
"I ask you, what did you see during the battle with the demon race that day?"
When the servant spoke of that extraordinary battle, he swallowed hard and glanced at Yun Yao cautiously.
"You mean...you mean that day?"
"Ah."
"The two races clashed, and the battle was extremely fierce. The Demon King made the outrageous claim that he wanted to merge my demon race into the demon race. My demon lord turned the tide, displaying heroic spirit and high morale, fighting bare-handed..."
"Shut up." Yun Yao glared at him. This guy wasn't very strong, but he was a master at flattery.
"Speak properly!" Yun Yao waved her fist at him.
The servant paused, then composed himself.
"We knew you would never let anything happen to our demon race, and we believed in your strength. But we never expected that the evil demon king would imprison you with his demon core. You have no idea how scared we were. If that bastard had really hurt you, even if the entire demon race were wiped out, the demon race would have to pay the price!"
Looking at the ambitious man in front of her, Yun Yao patted his shoulder helplessly.
"Don't get agitated. That's not what I'm asking. What I want to know is, how do you... how do you view the God Emperor's sudden appearance to shield me from a divine punishment?"
The servant's eyes were somewhat strange. He looked at Yun Yao's expectant expression, but hesitated to speak.
"Speak freely, and I will pardon you."
Upon hearing Yun Yao's words, the servant burst into a torrent of words, as if a flood had been released.
"None of us expected the God Emperor to personally appear and protect you. Could this be a honey trap?"
Yun Yao thought about that peerless face. She hoped it was a honey trap by the God Emperor, but... that was obviously impossible!
Who is he? He is the supreme ruler of the four seas and eight wastelands, the Eternal God Emperor who unified the three realms hundreds of years ago. Even for the sake of the gods, such a proud and arrogant person would never stoop to using a honey trap.
"Do you think he might have taken a liking to me?"
Upon hearing this, the servant nearly bit his tongue.
"What did you say? To fall for you? Are you kidding me! Are there not enough beauties in the heavens, or are you not arrogant enough? What kind of person is that God Emperor? What kind of beauties can't he have around him? Why would he fall for a great demon like you? Is he crazy or are you crazy?" The servant's voice suddenly rose.
Yun Yao: “…”
"Am I not beautiful enough?" Yun Yao had already conjured a light sword in her hand, exuding an aura of "If you dare to say I'm not beautiful, I'll stab you."
The servant stepped back, crossing his arms as he looked at the menacing Yun Yao in front of him.
"You are beautiful, but your temper and status..."
"Shut up and get out!" Yun Yao angrily sheathed her sword and threw the servant out.
After the person left, she sat there in a daze, her mind filled with the fleeting glimpse she had seen at the Spirit Spring that day.
People say that the Eternal Emperor above the Nine Heavens is detached from worldly affairs, heartless and emotionless, and has been as cold and icy as ice for ten thousand years. But Yun Yao doesn't think so. After that brief meeting, she felt that he only appeared cold and distant.
And then there was the rescue he gave me during that time of crisis. If he were truly heartless and ruthless, why would he have offered his help? After all, the demons have been enemies of the gods for thousands of years, and he was probably the one who most wanted to see me die!
Thinking of this, Yun Yao's mind was filled with countless questions, and her personality wouldn't allow her to sit idly by and wait for her fate.
As soon as Yun Yao opened the door, she saw the assembled officials waiting in front of the hall.
"What are you doing?"
"Your Excellency, we have come here to await your arrival on the orders of the Dharma Protector."
The mission of protecting the Dharma?
Where is Qiao Yunan?
"The Dharma Protector went to find the Thousand Mountains Ice Lotus for you yesterday."
The Thousand Mountain Ice Lotus is a top-grade medicine for healing injuries, but its living environment is extremely harsh. Only one plant grows there every ten thousand years. Such a rare treasure must live in a very dangerous place.
But Yun Yao believed in Qiao Yunan's abilities.
"Tell the Dharma Protector when he returns that I have gone to the highest heavens and there is no need to look for me!"
After saying that, Yun Yao prepared to leave.
But all the ministers below the main hall knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
