Better To Be A Demon Than Immortal (NPH) - Chapter 43

Chapter 43
The Male Emperor

“What is your name?” Chen Youyu looked straight at Wei Zi.

“This ……” Wei Zi’s eyes flowed, “My surname is Mu (?? ……”

It’s the first half of the character ‘Li ???,’ Chen Youyu’s heart did some calculations. He asked Wei Zi again, “Where did you get this thing? I like it. We won’t owe each other if you give it to me.”

Wei Zi hesitated: “This — this is my mother’s relics.” She couldn’t help but tear up her eyes and take it off, “Things are different now. What’s the use of having it? If you like it, you can have it.”

“Li Ling’er!” Chen Youyu said.

Wei Zi’s eyes filled with shock, “Who are you? Who sent you, the Emperor?” Turning cold, she pushed Chen Youyu away and got up to draw her sword to kill him.

Chen Youyu picked up a dagger and cut his wrist. Blood dripped down on top of the bracelet, which emitted a purple light, projecting a purple eightfold petal flower on the ground, the Li family’s symbol.

“Who the hell are you?” Wei Zi was shocked and hesitant.

“I am your fiancé, Chen Youyu ……” Chen Youyu said.

The sword in Wei Zi’s hand clanked down, “It’s you.” She couldn’t help but hug him, crying as she told her fake story.

Wei Zi said she has been trying to find a way to assassinate the Emperor to the point of losing her mind. Now that she heard the Golden Mother Mirror was here, she wanted to destroy it to ruin the Emperor’s luck.

On the other side, Bai Zhouyun perceived this peach blossoms forest as odd, neither in line with the art of yin and yang nor the five elements, as if someone deliberately created it.

Before she located the formation’s eye, the peach blossoms forest disappeared suddenly. Unexpectedly, she landed in the first layer of the pagoda.

And, it was Chen Youyu and Wei Zi who were in the same hall as her. Bai Zhouyun could not help but be wary of Wei Zi when she saw the stranger.
The two of them examined each other, and under the dark pupils, Bai Zhouyun saw Wei Zi bearing a dense peach blossom aura that covered her all around, making her unable to recognize what this woman was.

Wei Zi also sized up Bai Zhouyun.

Chen Youyu was the first to speak, ”Immortal Master Bai, this is my fiancée, Li Ling’er. She is a Qi Observation cultivator and will join our treasure hunt.”

Bai Zhouyun smiled lightly, “Young Master, I told you about the female star qi before. This girl is compatible with your star qi, and being by your side is helpful for us.”

Wei Zi was a bit confused. She thought it would not go so well, but she did not expect that this Master would help her. What was in her mind?

The three of them moved forward together to find the Golden Mother Mirror. They went up the stairs and saw many kinds of illusions coming in. However, with the world’s strongest qi master, Bai Zhouyun, they solved everything effortlessly. Before they knew it, they had already reached the last floor of the tower.

A sky window opened on the roof, and a light shone on a woman’s dressing mirror hanging in mid-air. A curved moon made of silver thread wrapped the oval-shaped mirror.

A cold energy swept across the mirror’s surface, and a spiritual light popped towards them. The light was so fast and powerful that they barely had time to dodge it. Wherever the light went, it burnt the solid pagoda and shook the ground. They were in a mess as the pagoda trembled.

“Quickly use your blood and pour it on the mirror,” Bai Zhouyun yelled at Chen Youyu.

Chen Youyu’s right-hand fingertips turned into a blade and slashed his left wrist, blood gushed out. As the ground shook, the pagoda collapsed, and Bai Zhouyun and Wei Zi fell into darkness.

Chen Youyu barely protected himself at this moment. The mirror hung in mid-air, and the walls around him had already collapsed, only left a few pieces of good ground. He could only give it a try. Chen Youyu used all his strength to leap and run towards the Golden Mother Mirror—

He grabbed the mirror and dripped blood into it, and the pagoda gradually stopped shaking. His face turned pale, and the mirror emitted a bright light that shone on his body.

As Chen Youyu held his breath, he saw his shadow in the precious mirror wearing a dragon robe. It was difficult for him to restrain his surging heart. It turned out that the Golden Mother Mirror accepted him even though he was a man—
He was the Chosen One and will be the first male Emperor of the Jiang Kingdom!
