Chapter 728: Chapter 727: Where Can One Challenge the True Dragon?
At the banquet, Mianmian as the Demon Emperor, was the host and sat in the seat of honor.
The Human Emperor sat to the left below Mianmian, accompanied by his Human Ministers and some cultivators, also on the left side. The demons of the Demon Clan were seated to the right.
In fact, the Human Emperor didn’t want to do this; he felt that, being Mianmian’s grandfather, he should be sitting in front of Mianmian no matter what.
It was just not possible yet.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, the Human Emperor smiled and toasted Mianmian, "Come, let me toast the Demon Emperor, may the alliance between our two realms be unbreakable."
Mianmian lifted her cup, which of course, was filled not with wine, but with milk.
When the emperor raised his cup, naturally, the courtiers below also lifted their cups, exchanging pleasantries, and then drank the wine in their cups.
After a round of reciprocations, the Human Emperor, seeing that Mianmian was not speaking, took the initiative, "I heard from Master Liaoji that the Demon Realm has also encountered the Demon Clan. How is the situation now?"
Mianmian: "The situation is not as dire as with the Human Race, we quickly killed off the Demon Clan."
The Human Emperor continued: "Our Human Race lacks capable and extraordinary personas, if it were not for the Demon Emperor’s arrival at that town, our Human Race might have faced annihilation, for this, we must thank you."
When the Human Emperor mentioned thanks, Mianmian eagerly watched him.
The Human Emperor didn’t understand Mianmian’s intention, and they locked eyes for quite some time.
Mianmian couldn’t hold back any longer, and frowned, "You said you’d thank me, was it just a verbal thanks? I thought you were going to give me some gifts."
Human Emperor: ...
Good grief, so thanks actually require gifts—indeed, he hadn’t brought any. He just didn’t expect Su Mianmian to be so forthright and ask him directly for them.
The Human Emperor swiftly thought of a solution, "In fact, I had prepared a gift, but when coming over I was excited about seeing my son and granddaughter, and I forgot it. Why don’t you accompany me to the Palace to fetch it?"
A gift not to be refused if it’s offered.
Mianmian nodded vigorously: "Alright, I’ll go with you..."
"Cough, cough."
Before Mianmian could finish speaking, Yunshang, who was sitting not far to Mianmian’s right, started to cough.
Her cough was so loud that it startled Mianmian into cutting off her speech and quickly turned her head in concern: "Yunshang, why are you coughing?"
Yunshang smiled: "My throat is probably dry."
"Then you should drink some hot water."
Mianmian instructed a servant beside her to bring water to Yunshang.
Since it was an offering from the Demon Emperor in front of so many people, Yunshang couldn’t refuse it and had to drink.
While she was drinking hot water, Mianmian turned her head to complete the sentence she had been interrupted earlier: "It’s just as well, I don’t need to deal with memorials tomorrow. I will go with you to pick up the gifts, but make sure you prepare some good ones, don’t be stingy."
This definitive reply nearly made the Human Emperor ecstatic.
Su Mianmian had just agreed to his suggestion, which seemed to suggest that he could trap her in the Palace!
In his excitement, the Human Emperor quickly responded: "As a man of my word, I am as good as my word—if the gifts don’t satisfy you, you’re free to select anything you like from my Treasure House."
Mianmian liked hearing this, and happily filled her belly at the banquet, nodding eagerly to the Human Emperor’s words about helping the Human Race immediately if they ever faced trouble.
Thus ended the banquet, and Mianmian was promptly pulled aside by Yunshang.
"Your Majesty, Mianmian, how could you casually agree to go to their Palace?"
Mianmian was puzzled: "What’s wrong with their Palace? Can’t I go? They came to our Palace, didn’t they?"
Yunshang was frustrated: "I had praised the Human Race before, but the Human Emperor is the most cunning. Among the previous Demon Emperors, there was one who went to the Human Palace, only to be trapped by the Human Emperor and they never came out."
"There’s a True Dragon guarding the Human Palace, with our kind, who could stand against a True Dragon?"
Upon hearing this, Mianmian also regretted agreeing to the Human Emperor.
She was considering whether to be an unreliable Little Friend when Master Liaoji’s voice came from next to her: "Yunshang, don’t worry, I shall protect Mianmian and won’t let her be trapped in the Palace."
Ling Xiao also popped up: "I can help too."
Despite the assurances from the two individuals of the Human Race, Yunshang was still not at ease.
At this time, Liaoji added: "Yunshang seems to have forgotten, Mianmian is the descendant of the Human Emperor and a born Spiritual Child. The ancient texts record that a Spiritual Child will not be harmed by a dragon."
These words made Yunshang’s eyes light up. freewebnoveℓ.com
Yes, how could she have forgotten? Mianmian is a born Spiritual Child and also has the Human Emperor’s bloodline; she is not a demon and visiting the Palace would certainly not result in her being trapped.
"Fine, then Your Majesty, you do this..."
Yunshang pulled Mianmian aside and whispered.
Mianmian’s little head kept nodding, indicating she heard Yunshang’s words, and finally clenched her small fists: "Don’t worry, I will do it!"
When the Former Demon Emperor took her to battle, Yunshang had instructed her in the same way and she had responded like this.
After the little and big had finished talking, Mianmian followed the Human Emperor to the Palace.
Upon arrival, she immediately asked the Human Emperor for the gift.
The Human Emperor cheerfully presented the prepared Night Pearl to Mianmian, feeling extremely pleased. His conviction that once Mianmian arrived she could not leave was because a True Dragon truly dwelled in the Palace.
This dragon only obeys the commands of successive emperors; previously, a Demon Emperor who had come to the Palace to challenge the then Human Emperor was killed by the True Dragon.
This True Dragon is extremely powerful! Su Mianmian would definitely not be able to escape!
Thinking joyfully, the Human Emperor saw Mianmian throw the Night Pearl on the ground: "Demons have many of these pearls, I don’t want it. Quickly take me to the Treasure House to choose."
This had been agreed on in advance.
Thinking that Mianmian couldn’t escape anyway, the Human Emperor greedily absorbed the Spiritual Qi surrounding her, smiling: "Good, let’s go to the storeroom and choose."
Mianmian selected many gifts, piling them up to throw them all into the passage when she opened the gate to the Demon Realm.
Having planned it out nicely, she told the Human Emperor she was ready to leave after choosing.
The Human Emperor smiled: "Okay, you can go."
That’s what he said, but in reality, he had already called for the True Dragon to appear, ready to trap Mianmian.
Suddenly faced with a dragon, and with the gate to the Demon Realm not truly open, Mianmian frowned: "What’s going on?"
The Human Emperor sneered: "Come to the Palace and think you can leave? You are my bloodline, yet you side with the Demon Clan; from now on, you’ll stay in the Palace, and I will properly educate you."
Mianmian rolled her eyes at the Human Emperor: "I didn’t ask you, Mianmian is asking what this dragon wants to do."
Liaoji and Yunshang had both told her that dragons would not harm her.
Mianmian asked the dragon boldly.
The golden dragon’s spectral image, floating mid-air, leaned in to examine Mianmian upon hearing her question.
After looking back and forth, the dragon suddenly spoke: "I have finally waited for you!"
As the words fell, it dived directly into Mianmian’s body.
The Human Emperor stood there stupefied.
The True Dragon had always obeyed him; whoever he wanted trapped would be trapped. How, then, had it entered Su Mianmian’s body?
