LRAB Chapter 159 Despicable! Manipulated by Mu Yuyan
Chapter 159 Despicable! Manipulated by Mu Yuyan
On this day, in the Demon Realm.
In the Demon God City.
The humanoid spider demon strolled out from the dark main city, having attained complete human form after breaking through the immortal realm.
Her waist swayed, her figure bewitching.
A lesser demon delivered a frontline report.
"Second City Lord! Those barbaric beasts breached another city in our eastern domain today. All the adult demons inside were slaughtered, leaving only some lesser demons behind. They seem intent on assimilating them."
The spider demon frowned.
Taking the report, she scratched a few commands with her long black nails.
"These barbaric beasts are formidable in battle. We cannot confront them head-on... If they launch an attack on the cities, we must abandon them and flee. Those unwilling or unable to flee, instruct the defending demon army to kill and burn them first!"
"Yes!"
The lesser demon went to relay the orders.
The spider demon glanced at the gradually brightening sky in the east, which clashed starkly with the black clouds over Demon God City, her expression growing graver!
A fortnight ago, on a night like this, those outrageously powerful barbaric beasts suddenly arrived.
The Demon Realm had thought to recruit and use them, making them a trump card for the demon army!
But who knew!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
These barbaric beasts actually favored humans!
And to them, the Demon Realm seemed nothing more than a massive buffet!
Who could endure this?!
The Demon Realm immediately abandoned harassing the Jing Nation and began to confront them with all its might, but the average cultivation of the barbaric beasts overwhelmed them!
They kept retreating!
"If it weren't for their slow progress, they would have besieged us long ago... Alas, who knows when Demon God will emerge from seclusion. If he breaks through the Saint Stage, the status and territory of the Demon Realm will surely rise to new heights!"
The spider demon muttered to herself.
Suddenly!
The sky changed dramatically, echoing with the roar of dragons!
The dense clouds trembled, lightning flashing!
The spider demon's face changed, and she quickly looked over, only to see a stunning woman clad in silver-blue armor, overlooking the entire Demon God City.
Seeing Ao Hanyi, the spider demon felt a bit displeased!
Not only did the woman surpass her in looks and stature, but even her cultivation and demeanor exuded a natural nobility!
If it weren't for the dozens of extraordinary dragon shadows following behind Ao Hanyi, she might have rebuked her as an enemy!
"Haha! So, it's a distinguished guest from the Dragon Clan. What brings you from the Eastern Sea to the Demon Realm so suddenly? What business do you have?"
The spider demon asked with a smile.
"We are heading to the Immortal Desolation Cliff to search for someone for a few years. We've come to inform the esteemed Demon God predecessor."
Ao Hanyi's voice was cold.
"The Immortal Desolation Cliff is a vital area of our Demon Realm. Even our native demons do not have the qualifications to go there. Little sister, you want to requisition it for a few years as soon as you arrive. Isn't that a bit domineering?"
"Nothing is domineering about it."
The law of the jungle applies in the Demon Realm; Ao Hanyi treated demons differently from humans.
She continued indifferently, "Apart from this matter, the savage beasts in the east of Demon Realm are also under the protection of our Dragon Clan. You cannot harass them."
Ao Hanyi naturally knew that the Demon Realm was unaware of the Dragon Clan's involvement, or who had brought these savage beasts.
At these words!
The spider demon's face stiffened.
Requisitioning the Immortal Desolation Cliff by force was already disrespectful enough, and now these barbaric beasts had devoured so many demons, yet they couldn't be touched?
The Dragon Clan was being too lenient!
"What if they attack us?"
The spider demon asked through gritted teeth.
"Then I won't intervene!"
Ao Hanyi knew Gu Lan was from the Jing Nation, and her presence today also had an element of retaliation for the Jing-Yao battle. She raised the corners of her rosy lips:
"Even if they become members of our Dragon Clan in the future, killing them would be equivalent to killing the Dragon Clan! Although you may not be able to kill many..."
In fact, except for Gu Lan's arrival with the phoenix, on subsequent occasions, the peak immortal realm savage overlords hardly made a move, busy with reproduction...
If these overlords appeared on the battlefield.
Demon God City would be in danger of being overturned in no time!
"Outrageous! Do you really think the Dragon Clan's reputation carries weight in our Demon Realm? Little girl, don't forget that your combat strength will be greatly reduced if you're not in the Eastern Sea!"
The spider demon couldn't bear it any longer, angrily exclaimed.
With her outburst.
Countless demon guards surged onto the city walls, standing ready, and the city's protective formation faintly began to activate!
Ao Hanyi's expression was stern: "Whether it's reduced or not, you can try it!"
Both sides faced off in silence.
Suddenly!
A voice that shook the soul came, tearing through the sky above Demon God City: "Hanyi, why hasn't this been settled yet? Doesn't that old fox nine-tailed celestial fox give us any face?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Hanyi nodded slightly: "Grandfather, it's not that Demon God doesn't give face, it's just a spider."
"A pig? Haha, it's been a long time since I've come to the Demon Realm. I didn't expect the pig demons to be so arrogant!"
The spider demon: "..."
The Dragon Sovereign did not appear.
This karma-tainted... even someone as steady as Gu Lan couldn't help but exclaim: It's really nice!
The only thing that made Gu Lan a bit upset wasn't Madam's concealment.
After all, according to the original setting, Gu Lan was aware of it.
Mu Yuyan's entrance into the mundane world, unable to be spoken of, carried the burden of the nation, and she had her reasons...
But!
As a modern transmigrator, she was actually being manipulated by Madam!
It was fine at night.
But during the day, especially after coming to the capital, she realized that every decree from the palace was Madam's doing!
"No wonder I felt like I was being forced rewards," Gu Lan muttered. "No wonder even a blank exam paper can make it to the Top Scholar!"
"No wonder from commoner to Great Chancellor... everyone is so approachable!"
Gu Lan's lips twitched, suddenly enlightened!
Damn it!
Her mind and body were both played around by Her Majesty Mu Yuyan... When would the scholar be able to stand up?
Infuriating!
Although Madam grew up in the deep palace from a young age and had the wit and scheming of a monarch, Gu Lan, as a modern person, still couldn't accept it!
Create a scene!
She must reclaim her dignity!
After Madam knew her identity, she seduced her with so many shameful compliments. Although she enjoyed hearing them, she also needed to "retaliate"!
Otherwise, how could she have a foothold in the family in the future?
She feared she'd end up as the family's little sister, squeezed and oppressed by Madam's Mu Yuyan card!
Suppressing her inner excitement and excitement, Gu Lan thought carefully. She felt that she still had a chance!
After all,
Gu Lan was already playing with open cards. The worst had already passed when she bit the bullet...
But Madam still didn't know that she was aware of her identity!
Mu Yuyan thought Gu Lan was on the first floor, but she was already on the fifth floor!
"Starting from playing chess, there have been constant reasons for issuing decrees. Even if I become a first-rank earl, it's probably just part of Madam's plan, right? It's far from over."
"Humph, I might as well use her tricks against her..."
With deep and contemplative eyes, Gu Lan pondered.
At this moment,
Princess Ming Yue pouted unhappily. She had already greeted him for a long time. Why wasn't he acknowledging her? Even if he was her savior, he shouldn't be so disrespectful, right?
After all, she was still a princess!
"Hey? I'm asking you, were you the one who saved me that night? What are you sneaking into the palace for today? Why are you reading the records of the palace here?" Ming Yue, although a bit silly, wasn't stupid.
That night, Gu Lan had already demonstrated his strength, and he could have done anything to her, but he just pretended to threaten her and left.
Afterward, the mansion found that the gatekeeper had been killed, which was enough to prove that Gu Lan was her lifesaver...
That was why, when she saw Gu Lan sneaking into the Eastern Palace, she didn't scream and call the guards.
"Are you trying to steal royal treasures? You haven't found your way to the Imperial Household Department yet... Since you saved my life, I can take you there."
Seeing Gu Lan looking over, Ming Yue raised her small face and smiled innocently.
This little sister was accommodating. If Gu Lan came to take her sister's things, she would really give them!
Gu Lan was taken aback and looked at the delicate face, her expression suddenly chilly, and her lips twisted with a hint of wickedness.
"Hehehe, revenge is the same no matter who it is. Since you found out that I sneaked into the palace, then I can't let you go!"
If she couldn't scare Madam,
Then she would scare her little sister first!
Sister's debt, sister's repayment.
Take some interest... It's reasonable!
Princess Ming Yue blinked her peach blossom eyes and said, "Sister, lie to you? Why... that's impossible, right? She has always disdained entanglements with men. Today, the only man she invited into the palace is just a scholar, and she hasn't even met him. How could she have the intention to deceive you?"
"..."
She hasn't even met him... Gu Lan thought of the scene in Su's mansion and felt even more ashamed of being played around by Mu Yuyan!
This revenge must be repaid, whether in flesh or spirit.
Gu Lan's expression was strange, and she remained silent.
Seeing this, Ming Yue's expression changed, and with an insecure tone, she asked, "Could it be... you really aren't here to steal treasures? Are you here to assassinate my sister?"
"...Yes!"
Gu Lan admitted immediately, becoming the first honest and bold assassin she had ever encountered, shocking her little sister.
Assassinating The Queen was an act of great treason, and she had been doing it for more than a year, even causing casualties... So, there was nothing wrong with saying that!
"What grievances do you have with my sister?"
With just a few words, Gu Lan took back the initiative in the conversation, leaving Ming Yue somewhat nervous, persuading, "Isn't there no room for reconciliation? How about I take you to the Imperial Household Department? There are many gold, silver, and jewelry there. Just take some, and let this matter go..."
Gu Lan snapped her fingers, and the rapist and the ceiling disappeared at the same time.
She didn't think Mu Yuyan, who only knew how to pinch her face and bully her, could win.
"I might as well kill you first and then go to the Imperial Household Department... Anyway, after killing you, your sister probably wouldn't be too heartbroken, right?"
Gu Lan's face remained calm, her eyes shining brightly.
She approached the poor little sister step by step.
Ming Yue backed away in panic, feeling wronged and scared, "Then you'd better go assassinate her! Our relationship has never been good since childhood... If you kill me, she won't feel any pain, really!"
Gu Lan: "..."
