My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 297 The Consultation in Demon Emperor City

A resounding roar echoed through the air, followed by a chorus of howls.

Gu Lan gracefully landed beside a formidable beast lord, affectionately running his hand through the fur beside its blood-red eyes.

The beast lord's expression softened, immediately lowering its massive frame to allow Gu Lan more comfort.

Witnessing this, the other beast lords couldn't sit still any longer.

Once notorious for their dominance within the Demon Clan, the beast lords now sat in perfect formation before Gu Lan, elongating their necks and bowing their heads in anticipation of his touch.

Seeing these obedient beast lords, Gu Lan felt immense satisfaction. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

He produced some Immortal Stage Spirit Fruits, which Simu usually found unappetizing.

One by one, he rewarded each beast lord with a Spirit Fruit as he caressed them.

The beast lords, never ones to be picky, consumed the Spirit Fruits eagerly, their vitality immediately surging as they joyously howled.

Meanwhile, nearby, the trembling little demons, startled by the successive roars of the beast lords and the cries of the divine phoenix, thought it was the beginning of an all-out attack by the beasts.

Some had fainted from fright, while others lay stiff by the roadside, feigning death.

By now, Gu Xiaoqi had taken human form and followed behind Gu Lan, observing the beast lords obediently seated and enjoying their Spirit Fruits. She felt elated.

These beast lords were once brought up by herself and her master. Seeing their increased strength now filled her with a sense of accomplishment for her clan.

In the distance, Gu Lan had finished feeding all the beast lords except one.

This particular beast lord, majestic in stature like a lion, exuded a noticeably higher aura compared to the others. It was the king of the beast lords, known as the Suan Ni in the ancient human tongue.

Instead of consuming the Spirit Fruit himself, the Suan Ni passed it to a small cub, barely larger than a wolf pup, which had just come into the world.

This cub was its offspring, born not long ago in the Earthly Realm rather than the Heaven Mountain small world.

As the cub ingested the Spirit Fruit, its previously dull eyes instantly lit up with awareness.

After exchanging glances with its mother, the Suan Ni, filled with tender affection, reluctantly let the cub go. It wobbled over to Gu Lan and began rubbing against his robe.

"Whimper..."

"Do you wish to entrust your child to me?" Gu Lan inquired.

"Aoao!"

"Raising offspring is no easy task, especially for beasts who often incur divine punishment. Is this your only surviving child?" Gu Lan further questioned.

"Aoao!"

After a lengthy exchange, Gu Lan barely grasped Suan Ni's intentions.

At the same time, he discerned that the cub seemed to be premature, despite its pure Suan Ni bloodline, indicating inherent deficiencies.

Despite his efforts, Gu Lan's cultivation remained shrouded in mystery, appearing to be only at the early stage of Saint, yet it sent shivers down his spine.

He knew that the situation was far from simple!

In the entire Earthly Realm, there were only a few who could evoke such a feeling in him in the past, especially now that he had surpassed the Saint Stage!

Moreover, the person before him was a human cultivator, seemingly a Confucian cultivator...

The nine-tailed celestial fox had a wealth of experience and profound thoughts. Upon seeing Gu Lan, he already had a vague answer in his heart.

"Is the esteemed friend from the Jing Nation?" Seeing Gu Lan's silence, the nine-tailed celestial fox became even more certain and directly asked the question he most wanted to know.

If it was indeed the envoy from the Tianji Pavilion of Jing Nation, the nine-tailed celestial fox would have no ulterior motives and would immediately welcome him into the city.

Then, he could entertain him with good food and drink, perhaps turning a bad situation into a favorable one!

"My origin is not important."

"I have come to Demon Emperor City today to seek guidance from the renowned Demon Emperor. That's all," Gu Lan said with a mysterious smile, his gaze fixed on the face of the nine-tailed celestial fox.

He had come today to give Demon Emperor a memorable lesson... to return all the grievances his wife had suffered before meeting him!

Sensing the malice in Gu Lan's eyes, the nine-tailed celestial fox's scalp tingled.

"Cough, my friend, you jest..."

"It's all just reputation. Nowadays, the strength of Demon Emperor City is not what it used to be. I've just broken through, and..."

The nine-tailed celestial fox hurriedly refused. But before he could finish his words, a green swordlight suddenly flashed in front of him.

"My friend, please refrain from violence!"

"Let's talk things out!"

"Ah!"

Before the nine-tailed celestial fox could say anything else, he was struck in the face by the sword light, sending him tumbling.

Although the blow was not fatal, it instantly shattered his imposing image!

On the city wall, the demon soldiers of Demon Emperor City witnessed their own Demon Emperor being slapped in the face with a single blow, unsure whether to intervene.

One particularly hot-headed demon soldier activated a treasure, a hidden weapon, and aimed it at Gu Lan.

However, ...

The hidden weapon didn't even come close to Gu Lan, disintegrating into powder without a sound, dissipated by the night wind of Demon Emperor City.

"You fool!"

"How dare you use a treasure against a distinguished guest of Demon Emperor City!"

The nine-tailed celestial fox quickly got up, enduring the intense pain, and slapped the demon soldier who had used the treasure, sending him flying.
