Chapter 197: The Wife and Mother Great Demoness: What Heavenly Emperor? Just a Little Thief!
“Why did you come back? Why do you want to become stronger?”
The Heavenly Dao Eye questioned Zhou Tong.
It was not harsh, but it plunged Zhou Tong into immense confusion.
Does one still need a reason to become stronger?
The world of cultivators is particularly cruel.
In an age of great conflict, one either advances or retreats; enhancing one’s cultivation is the most fundamental desire of every cultivator.
Without strength, one is like an ant, unable to protect oneself, unable to safeguard loved ones, and unable to crush enemies!
Countless images flashed through his mind.
There were his Master, his Senior Sister, and the scene from his past life where the Little Demoness bled, along with the images of young strong warriors who had died at Tang Qi’s hands during the Heavenly Dao baptism.
“If one day I can break through time and space and trace back to the past, I will surely make up for the regrets of the past!”
Zhou Tong’s breathing became hurried; this was a past he could hardly reach, and there was always a hole in his heart.
“This is difficult.”
The Heavenly Dao Eye emitted a faint voice.
Breaking through time and seeking immortality…
Breaking through the past and continuing the severed path…
This all requires power; even a Great Emperor might not be able to achieve it.
“Then… I will surpass the Great Emperor!”
Zhou Tong, as if waking from a dream, made a grand vow to the Heavenly Dao Eye.
In an instant, the laws of the Heavenly Dao surged forth, enveloping him.
This was the method of the Heavenly Dao Eye, probing Zhou Tong to uncover his heart.
This was both a test and a review.
With Zhou Tong’s spiritual power, he could originally have easily blocked this probing.
But he did not do so; instead, he actively entered the fray, allowing everything before him to change.
He also wanted to see his own heart!
“Dingling… ding ding!”
Suddenly, a pleasant ringing came from his bosom.
The sea and sky convey longing, the heart connected over a thousand miles!
Zhou Tong took out the bell; it was a gift from the Little Demoness when they parted.
No matter how far apart they were, as long as one side rang the bell, the other would receive the message.
Staring at the bell, Zhou Tong’s palm felt somewhat warm; he saw the Union Lock actively manifest, connecting the two even thousands of miles apart, allowing them to feel each other.
“Creak creak!”
The reality before him gradually crumbled, causing Zhou Tong to suddenly fall into a brand new world; he seemed like a wisp of a ghost, only able to observe this time and space from a third-party perspective.
In the Ninth Heaven, the palace of the Heavenly Emperor…
It was deep into the night, yet looking down from above, the view was filled with the lights of thousands of homes.
During the spring festival, the crowds were jubilant, and splendid fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.
“How beautiful.”
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but be entranced; he gazed at the magnificent scene, and even extending his line of sight to the horizon, the grandeur remained, stirring his emotions and excitement immensely.
When had the human race ever been so prosperous?!
“Truly the greatest nation in the universe!”
A soft voice came, startling Zhou Tong.
At the very top of the Heavenly Emperor’s palace stood a majestic figure, overlooking the splendid landscape.
This person was truly extraordinary.
With sword-like brows and starry eyes, brimming with heroism, just standing there, they overshadowed the stars.
This was the Heavenly Emperor!
Zhou Tong was shocked; more importantly, this figure closely resembled him, bearing ninety-nine percent similarity!
This was clearly his future self!
“Tap tap tap…”
Soft footsteps approached, each step blooming with grace, causing the Heavenly Emperor to reveal a gentle smile.
Zhou Tong also smiled; he knew this sound too well, as if he could see a pair of perfect jade-like feet lightly treading on the ground, spotless and elegant.
“Husband… it’s late, aren’t you cold?”
The unfamiliar term made Zhou Tong’s heart flutter; following the Heavenly Emperor’s gaze, he saw an extraordinary beauty with a radiant smile, her eyes brimming with affection.
The Little Demoness!
No, she should be called the Great Demoness now; her appearance was the same as in the past life but with a different fate.
“I am the Heavenly Emperor; how could I be cold?”
“Hmph! What broken Heavenly Emperor? Just a shameless little silver thief.”
The Demoness rolled her eyes alluringly, as if she could stir the world, instantly transforming the atmosphere atop the Heavenly Emperor’s palace into an enchanting scene.
“Ahem…”
The Heavenly Emperor cleared his throat and waved his hand, silencing all surrounding noise.
“Have the children already gone to bed?”
He spoke softly, gradually moving closer to the beauty before him.
Hearing this, the Demoness’s face instantly turned red, her gaze darting to the side.
“The children have long since gone to bed; Master and Senior Sister have gone down to the mortal world to have fun…”
At this point, she suddenly shot him a glare, her eyes filled with endless feigned anger.
“A dignified Heavenly Emperor truly has such strong feelings for his children!”
Before her words fell, the Heavenly Emperor embraced her waist with one arm, his other hand caressing half of her face, his fiery gaze lowering to meet hers.
“Humans are not wood or stone; who can be without feelings?”
“Very well said, but you used to be very heartless, like a piece of wood, not knowing how many times you made me cry!”
“You, you just love to dig up old stories when you’re happy to make fun of me!”
The Heavenly Emperor said indulgently and helplessly.
“A great man, yet afraid of having his wife’s past brought up?”
The Demoness gazed up, as if looking at her sky, her eyes filled with admiration and affection.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled, looking into the distance, yet he embraced the Demoness even tighter.
“The command of the cloud and the sky is dignified, sweeping away all evil; I can protect the common people and bring glory to my wife and children; this is my wish for this life!”
Upon hearing this, the Demoness melted completely, leaning against the Heavenly Emperor’s embrace.
She sweetly murmured, “I have long admired your talents, wishing you a long life with heaven and earth, and I will share in the glory with you and our children, ah!!”
Before she could finish, the Demoness was picked up sideways, her slender arms instinctively wrapping around the Heavenly Emperor’s neck.
“In that case, let’s give our little ones another brother or sister!”
The Heavenly Emperor teased, whispering into the Demoness’s ear.
“Ying… mmh…”
The Demoness grew even softer, lacking any strength, her hands covering her blushing face, her delicate legs playfully swinging in the air, the bell on her ankle jingling enticingly.
“My dear… do you really agree?”
The Heavenly Emperor pressed on, leaving her with no power to resist.
“I… will do as you wish.”
As if receiving a command, the Heavenly Emperor chuckled softly, taking a step forward and vanishing from Zhou Tong’s sight.
At the same time, the scene before Zhou Tong began to fade; he knew this was a sign of returning to reality.
It also proved he had once again passed the test of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, his resolve was unwavering.
He was no longer confused; he had found the reason to become stronger.
“The command of the cloud and the sky is dignified, sweeping away evil; I can protect the common people and bring glory to my wise wife and children; this is a great man’s wish for this life!”
“Ding ling ling ding ling ling…”
The heart-connected spell rang out again, allowing Zhou Tong’s gaze to cross over thousands of mountains, arriving at the Celestial Master Clan in the Central Continent, where he saw the young and stunning Little Demoness.
“I miss you.”
He said, “Soon I will go to the Central Continent and bring you back to my side!”
…
In the transformation pool of the Celestial Master Clan, the Little Demoness suddenly stood up, effortlessly revealing her beautiful figure.
“Heartless one, you finally remembered me!”
Looking at the trembling bell, her eyes possessed endless affection, but it quickly transformed into sharpness.
“Talisman Eighty-Three, Chase the Clouds!”
A spirit talisman emerged from her fingertips, launching directly forward!
