Chapter 200: The Proud Queen, the Bloodthirsty Demon Star
The midnight feast continues.
On the terrace on the top floor of the castle tower, Shan Meixian held the railing and looked down at the banquet square below the castle, which was decorated with lights as bright as day, bustling with people, and where thousands of people were feasting at the same time.
Her ministers were singing, drinking, and laughing excitedly.
Occasionally, a general would raise his glass and shout, "Congratulations to the Queen!" Immediately, everyone would respond with thunderous cheers.
A blush of excitement appeared on Shan Meixian's pretty face. Her slightly dazed eyes were filled with mist and a dazzling brilliance.
Like Zhu Yuyan, she is also a career-oriented woman.
Otherwise, she would not have started from scratch after betraying the Yingui Sect, founded the Dongming Sect, and started a business selling weapons, which was a business that was designed to cause chaos in the world.
Under Zhu Yuyan's guidance, Shan Meixian also had the dream of "being the queen of the world".
But after fighting on her own, she has gradually given up her fantasy, believing that in today's world, no matter how good a woman's martial arts skills are or how talented she is, she can at most become the leader of a faction.
Wanting to rule the world is simply a fantasy.
However, she never expected that the dream she had given up would actually come true.
No matter how this dream is realized, she has already achieved the goal that the Yingui Sect has been dreaming of and striving for for many years.
Even though she was not ruling the real "world" but just a remote island country outside the Central Plains, she was still a real queen who ruled over tens of millions of people.
Now, she can proudly declare in front of Zhu Yuyan, I have surpassed you!
Of course, Shan Meixian will not be carried away by this achievement.
She knew very well why all this happened to her.
She raised her slender hands and pressed them to her shoulders.
On each of her shoulders, there was a strong hand, holding her shoulders tightly.
The back of her Roman-style white gauze skirt was piled on her curvy, slender and strong waist.
She didn't look back, but just gently stroked her shoulder with one hand.
Below the railings was a waist-high wall. With the wall blocking her view, in her current position, even if the people at the banquet hall below the castle suddenly looked up, they could only see her from the chest up. Even the people behind her might not be able to see her.
She squinted her eyes like a lazy cat, concentrating her sight and searching for Zhu Yuyan in the banquet hall.
Soon, she found the tall and slender woman, whose temperament was as cold and proud as a queen.
She stared at the woman, and there was a different kind of pleasure in her glittering, starry eyes.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuyan seemed to sense her gaze and raised her head to look at her.
The distance between the two sides was nearly a hundred feet.
However, Shan Meixian knew that with Zhu Yuyan's level of cultivation, even at night, even if they were a hundred feet apart, she would be able to see her current condition clearly.
Shan Meixian did not retreat. Instead, she met Zhu Yuyan's gaze, tightly grasped her big hands on her shoulders, raised her eyebrows provocatively at Zhu Yuyan, proudly raised her slender neck, and puffed out her chest.
The two looked at each other from a distance, Shan Meixian's cheeks flushed, her eyes proud , and with a hint of excitement.
Zhu Yuyan's eyes were calm, cold and without any waves, as if she was indifferent.
After a long time, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and then she withdrew her gaze.
Shan Meixian also laughed.
Who are you trying to scare by pretending to be profound?
Today, here, I am the queen!
…
The lively night banquet finally ended.
When Zhu Yuyan, Kankan and others returned to the castle.
Shan Meixian had put on a solemn and gorgeous royal robe that imitated the style of a prince from the Central Plains and fit her female body well. However, she did not wear a crown on her head. Her waist-length hair was straight like a waterfall and she walked out of Ni Kun's room with light and graceful steps.
Seeing Shan Meixian coming towards them, Kankan and others consciously moved aside, leaving Zhu Yuyan and Shan Meixian walking towards each other.
With a mentality of watching the fun, Kanan, Wen Caiting and Bai Qing'er all widened their eyes and stared at the two of them without blinking, hoping that some interesting sparks would collide between them.
However.
Be it Zhu Yuyan or Shan Meixian, they both looked straight ahead, as if the other person did not exist in their sight.
Afterwards, the two passed each other in the corridor, without stopping or looking back, and walked away.
well……
Kanan, Wen Caiting, and Bai Qing'er all sighed silently and shook their heads regretfully.
Zhu Yuyan suddenly turned her head, glanced at them lightly, and said lightly:
"Are you guys free?"
Xianxian and others shook their heads repeatedly: "No, no..."
"I see you all have some free time." Zhu Yuyan said leisurely:
"Since you are all so bored, there is no need to rest tonight. It has been a while since I have tested your skills, so tonight you will have a sparring match with my opponent one by one.
"I am serious this time and will not hold back. Whether you are injured or disabled by me depends on how much you have improved in your cultivation during this period of time. Anyway, with the Blood Bodhi and Tsunade's medical skills, I am not afraid of leaving any hidden dangers for you."
Xianxian tried to struggle:
"Disciple still needs to serve the Master..."
Zhu Yuyan said calmly:
"Someone has already served you. Besides, even if you are not satisfied, there are Xiaoqing, Tsunade, and even Kaguya to serve you."
Wan Wan cried out: "Master, you are not taking your anger out on me, are you? Then go and hit my sister, why are you hitting us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yuyan pointed with a smile.
His smile was gentle and friendly, and his moves were light and effortless, but his finger strength was sharp and the sound of it breaking through the air was like that of a flying sword.
…
When daybreak comes.
Zhu Yuyan came back refreshed and woke up Tsunade who was sleeping in Ni Kun's outer room. She asked her to help treat Kankan, Bai Qing'er and Wen Caiting. She also asked Ni Kun if he was practicing at this time. When she learned that he was resting, she came to the door of the inner room, silently opened it, and walked in.
Ni Kun was resting but not sleeping.
He no longer needs sleep. Apart from leisure and entertainment at night, he also practices various techniques.
Seeing Zhu Yuyan coming in, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Did you beat Xian'er and the others badly?"
Zhu Yuyan smiled slightly and said:
"Cai Ting and Qing Er were both cunning. They knelt down and begged for mercy after suffering minor injuries. But Wan Er was very stubborn and didn't want to admit defeat. She was injured a little more seriously. But I have fed her blood bodhi and asked Tsunade to go and help treat her. She will be fine."
"You..." Ni Kun shook his head and raised his hand to pat his thigh.
Zhu Yuyan understood what he meant, walked gracefully to him, sat on his lap, and snuggled into his arms.
Ni Kun stroked her hair and asked with a smile, "Yuyan, are you jealous?"
Zhu Yuyan said quietly, "I know this is wrong...but seeing her smug look, I couldn't help myself."
Ni Kun chuckled, "Why are you jealous of her? She will be the king of Wa Island in the future. She will be busy with state affairs and may not have the opportunity to visit the Central Plains for two or three years. And I won't come to this humble island country often. The one who can always stay by my side is you."
"I understand the truth. But my evil nature is unbridled, and my seven emotions and six desires are growing. I can't suppress them by force, so I have no choice but to vent my anger on Qian'er and the others."
"Poor Qian'er..."
After holding Zhu Yuyan and talking for a while, as the sky gradually brightened, Ni Kun gently patted Zhu Yuyan's plump buttocks and said with a smile:
"It's dawn, we should set off back to the Central Plains."
"We are leaving today?" Zhu Yuyan was a little surprised: "Sir, why don't you stay here for a few more days and enjoy the service of the queen?"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "There is a long time to come, so don't rush. The Japanese island is a remote place, and it is difficult to communicate with the Central Plains. If there is any change in the Central Plains, we will not be able to know in time. It is better to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, so that we can feel more at ease."
Zhu Yuyan said: "Sir, this world does not belong to you alone, why do you have to work so hard for the sake of the people of the world?"
Ni Kun said:
"It is true that the world does not belong to me alone. But there are only a few people who are capable of dealing with various disasters.
"You think if the sky falls, he will support it. He thinks if the sky falls, she will support it...
"If it keeps pushing each other back and forth like this and no one is willing to take the trouble to step forward, the world will end sooner or later.
"Besides, I have come to this world and have enjoyed countless blessings. I have almost enjoyed all the best women in the world. I should do something to give back."
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said:
"The emperors and monarchs receive the blood and sweat of the people, and have countless concubines in their palaces and courtyards. The noble families enjoy luxury that is no less than that of the royal family. They have never said how they will give back."
"It's different." Ni Kun only said this and didn't explain any further.
After Kaguya surrendered, Ni Kun asked her how she fell into An Wuji's hands.
Kaguya answered everything in detail. After Ni Kun heard her talk about how the entire universe collapsed rapidly and turned into pills after An Wuji destroyed the "Blue Planet", he pondered for a long time and had more speculations about the reincarnation world.
The many "universes" in the world of reincarnation are obviously not as vast as the universe in Ni Kun's previous life.
Depending on the story background of each reincarnation world, the size of the "universe" can be large or small.
But no matter how big or small the universe is, the basis of its existence depends on a "core".
In the world of Naruto, the "core" is the Ninja World Earth.
So it’s okay if Planet Otsutsuki is destroyed, but once the Earth in the Ninja World is destroyed, the universe will collapse immediately.
In the Tang Dynasty world, Central Plains is the core.
As for the other four barbarians, except for Goguryeo and Eastern Turks, which have grand masters and have had many interactions with the protagonist team, other countries and regions are insignificant.
If the blood sacrifice is to be successful, the population of Goguryeo, Eastern Turks, and Central Plains must be used to make it happen.
For people from other countries and regions, it takes ten people to replace one person from the Central Plains.
In the world of The Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains of China is the core of the core.
Then important characters such as Kankan, Shi Feixuan, Li Xiuning, Shi Qingxuan, and even Zhu Yuyan, Shan Meixian, etc., are all the darlings of this world, and all have more or less destiny on their shoulders.
If this world line is not disturbed and develops step by step, the destiny related to Kankan in the future will even surpass that of the winner of this generation, Shi Feixuan.
As an outsider, Ni Kun has benefited and grown in this world, and has benefited from these beautiful ladies who bear the destiny of this world to varying degrees. The karma between him and this world is more serious than that of anyone else in this world - perhaps only the Drunken Swordsman, whose karma is a little more serious than his.
In short, other people may turn a blind eye to natural disasters, enjoy life today and just ask others to help them when something goes wrong.
But Ni Kun can't do that.
With his current spiritual cultivation, he even had a vague intuition:
If this world is destroyed, then even if he can use the fragments of the Gate of Reincarnation to escape to another world with his family, his journey will probably become extremely difficult, and may even end there.
For the rest of his life, he may only be able to rely on cheats to get by, and will never be able to climb to the truly unattainable position of the Great and Powerful Heavenly Master that even An Wuji is terrified of.
And if you can't become a true Heavenly Lord...
You can escape for a while, but can you escape for a lifetime?
If I escape to another world, would I not have to face the apocalypse?
Even in a superhero world that is huge in size and filled with god-level powerful beings, there are huge hidden dangers. If we cannot take the initiative to attack and wipe out the extraterritorial demons, sooner or later, we will face an irreversible "doomsday."
After all, in this reincarnation world, even the main god has lost contact, and countless worlds, large and small, have been destroyed by the demons from outside the domain.
Even if Ni Kun could use the fragments of the Gate of Reincarnation and the Reincarnation Watch to escape, he would have to wait until the "Guardians" were completely wiped out and all the reincarnation worlds were destroyed...
Where else could he escape to?
There is no future in escape.
In this case, we can only move forward courageously and carve out a bloody path that will allow us to sleep peacefully and live an everlasting life.
Ni Kun did not explain this feeling to Zhu Yuyan in detail, but only told her to gather people and prepare to return to the Central Plains.
An hour later.
Ni Kun and his party arrived at the dock, escorted by Queen Shan Meixian of Dongming, Princess Shan Wanjing of the Crown Princess, and other officials of Dongming Kingdom.
"Sir, when you have free time in the future, please come to the island again and let me serve you well."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shan Meixian looked dignified, without showing any abnormality, maintaining her dignity as a queen, and only whispered these words to Ni Kun's ears.
Ni Kun smiled at her, nodded slightly, turned around and boarded the ship.
Xiaoqing jumped into the sea and transformed into a giant green-scaled python. She stirred the water and pushed the ship away from the dock, heading southwest, cutting through the waves and speeding away.
Shan Meixian, Shan Wanjing and their party stood at the dock and watched the ship go away. They only set off back to the camp after it disappeared on the sea level.
"Mother, will the young master come again in the future?"
"Well, he will definitely come."
"Mom, where did you go last night? Why did you come back so late?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"But mother, I feel like you're different now that you've come back..."
"What's the difference?"
"I can't really describe it... If I had to describe it, it's like Mom suddenly turned into a morning flower, covered in dew, looking so moist and beautiful..."
"That's because my mother's cultivation has made a breakthrough, and she has barely mastered the Sacred Heart Sutra."
"Well, so when you disappeared for a while last night, did you suddenly feel something and have a breakthrough? But why? You were busy all day yesterday. Can being so busy be beneficial to your practice?"
"Are you a child? Why are you asking so many questions? Stop talking nonsense and practice hard when you return."
"Mom, you just became king yesterday, and I just became the princess. Can you at least let me rest for a few days? Besides, there is no danger in this Japanese island now..."
"Have you ignored all the words that Master said? Although the Japanese island seems to be peaceful and there is no threat to us, we never know when another crisis like this disaster will come... Anyway, don't talk nonsense to me. From today on, besides learning to handle government affairs, you must spend all your time practicing and not slack off for even a moment!"
"All the time? Then sleep..."
"From now on, you can only sleep for two hours every day."
"...Mother, can you please abolish me, the princess? It's too hard..."
…
When the large sea ship that Ni Kun and his party were on was heading towards the Central Plains and the East China Sea.
In the Tianshan Mountains of the Western Regions, in the Yihua Palace.
Hua Wuque stood with his hands hanging in front of the Second Palace Master Lianxing, his handsome face tense and serious, with worry hidden in his eyes.
"Second Master, the adopted son of the First Master killed another disciple today."
He said in a deep voice:
"That disciple simply refused his request to suckle his mother's milk, and he was beheaded... Second Master, we can't let this go on. We must persuade the First Master to drive her adopted son away..."
Lian Xing had no expression on her face and sighed softly:
"I have advised him three times. The first time, my sister said he was still young. The second time, my sister said he was still a child. The third time, my sister told me to get out of here and not to drive a wedge between them."
Hua Wu Que said anxiously:
"Second Master, that child is not a human being at all, he is a monster, a demon star sent from the sky!
"When Master first picked him up, he was still a crying baby. But less than a year later, he has grown into a seven or eight-year-old child, growing faster than Nezha in the storybook...
"Not only that, he is getting more and more cruel day by day. At first he just tortured and killed some kittens and puppies, then he started to slaughter the herdsmen living at the foot of the mountain, and now he has even started to slaughter the disciples of Yihua Palace.
"If we let this go on... the consequences will be disastrous!"
Lian Xing said calmly:
“I know everything you said.
"That kid is indeed a demon from heaven, cruel by nature, without any humanity, and will surely become an unprecedented demon in the future.
"But I don't know what kind of drug he has made my sister turn a blind eye to all his evil deeds. I went to persuade her, but she scolded me instead. Wuque, what can I do as a teacher?"
Hua Wu Que gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"I'm going to kill him!"
Lian Xing chuckled: "Can you do it?"
Hua Wu Que clenched his fists, his expression changed for a while, and finally became firm, and nodded vigorously:
“Although he looks like a child of only seven or eight years old… he is not a human at all. I will never show mercy to such a demon star monster.”
Lian Xing sighed and said, "Since you have this determination, I can rest assured to let you go down the mountain."
Hua Wu Que was stunned: "Second Master, what do you mean?"
Lian Xing said calmly:
“That guy is not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also immune to water and fire, and he is also not afraid of any poison.
"To tell you the truth, I have already secretly poisoned him several times, but no matter what kind of poison it was, after that kid took it, he was still alive and kicking, and he didn't even have a stomachache once...
"That demon, even my master couldn't do anything to him, let alone you?
"So, you must go down the mountain and head to the Central Plains. If you stay in Yihua Palace, you will be killed by him sooner or later.
"Fortunately, my sister has only had that demon in her heart for the past year. She won't stop you from leaving now."
Hua Wu Que shook his head and said: "No, I won't leave..."
"You must go." Lian Xing stared at him and said firmly in a tone that would not brook rejection:
"There are countless talented people in the Central Plains. The First Emperor, who once recruited my Yihua Palace, is also a man of supernatural powers. You can go and serve the Great Qin. With the protection of the Great Qin, you will not be persecuted by the demons."
Hua Wu Que was silent for a while, then asked, "Second Master, will you go with me?"
Lian Xing shook her head and sighed: "I...can't just abandon my sister..."
Hua Wuque didn't want to leave just like that.
Although Grand Master Yao Yue had been extremely strict and harsh with him since he was a child, he became increasingly cold towards him after adopting the demon.
But with Hua Wuque's kind and honest nature, how could he just abandon the kindness of being raised and taught for so many years?
What he is most worried about now is that after the evil star grows up, his true nature will be revealed and even his first and second masters will be harmed.
The first and second masters are not leaving, so how can he just leave?
However, Hua Wuque would not allow Lian Xing's will to go against his will.
Hua Wuque is stubborn and refuses to leave?
Lian Xing slapped him unconscious with a single slap, and then called for the maids from Yihua Palace who had served Hua Wuque since childhood, and ordered them to take him down the mountain to the Central Plains.
After sending Hua Wuque away, Lian Xing hesitated for a while and went to find Yao Yue for the fourth time to persuade her to give up the Demon Star.
Unfortunately, Yao Yue had been completely bewitched by the evil star. Not only did she not listen to Lian Xing's advice, she also scolded her harshly and even slapped her in the face.
Lian Xing was disheartened and decided not to try to persuade him anymore.
But she did not leave just like that. She decided that when the demon revealed its true form and started killing people, she would fight to the death to preserve the friendship between her and sister Yaoyue.
A few days later.
Hua Wuque arrived in Chang'an safely under the escort of several maids with superb martial arts skills.
Hearing that the Qin Dynasty had established a "Demon Suppression Department" to suppress and kill evil spirits, Hua Wuque went to the Demon Suppression Department to report the case without hesitation.
At the same time.
The large ship that Ni Kun and others were on had also arrived outside Taohua Island according to the sea chart drawn by Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng.
