Chapter 335: Little Demoness: I Hate Moral Coercion the Most!
The mad Empress was finally subdued by Zhou Tong.
“You’re stingy!”
The Empress pouted and looked at him with a resentful expression.
“Truly pathetic! Am I not beautiful? Open your eyes and take a good look at me; I don’t believe you aren’t moved!”
“Stop causing a ruckus!”
Zhou Tong held the Little Demoness’s hand and said with a serious expression, causing her to quiet down.
“I can stop for now, but remember, I haven’t given up; I’m just waiting for the right opportunity!”
Qian Miaoyu said quietly. Thankfully, the conversation between the three was isolated by Zhou Tong; otherwise, if others heard it, the Empress’s authority would have fallen to the ground.
“I hereby announce that this assessment has ended successfully, with the best results going to the Li Family, followed by the You Family, then the Zhong Family, and lastly, the Bai Family!”
“These four forces performed excellently and will receive strong support from the Empire. I hope you will continue your efforts and achieve even better results in the next assessment!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the members of the four families displayed joyful expressions and had no objections to it.
Although theoretically, the You Family and the Li Family still had to battle once more, it no longer mattered.
Even the Sage-level Demon had been slain by the people of the Li Family, so this victory was well-deserved.
“What about us? Why aren’t our two families mentioned?”
Lin Ruoxii said in indignation.
In previous assessments, even the bottom-ranked families would receive investments, but this time they felt abandoned, with no qualifications even to be mentioned.
“Because the performances of your two families were so terrible that I didn’t see the value in investing!”
Qian Miaoyu said coldly, showing no mercy; it was a blatant slap in the face.
“Alright, alright, this is your choice, right? I hope you won’t regret it later!”
Lin Ruoxii gasped for breath. Their presence was a favor to the Empire, and the other party had the audacity to insult them publicly! This was a grudge that could not be easily let go!
“Madam, our Sage-level warrior has arrived; he’s waiting outside!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxii immediately revealed an excited expression.
“This is great; the timing is perfect! Time to settle old and new scores!”
She even felt a bit impatient to capture Li Mu and the others along with the Empire to repay her grievances.
“Husband, I feel a bit uneasy!”
Li Congxin looked at Zhou Tong in the sky and murmured, “That person is a legendary Guest Senior, and he has killed a Sage in front of everyone. I’m afraid…”
“What’s there to be afraid of? The Sage we worship is a threefold realm strongman; how could a newcomer Sage-level Demon compare? Dealing with these few people is simply a piece of cake!”
Lin Ruoxii sneered, “And didn’t you notice? When the Heavenly Dao announced just now, that kid wasn’t even present. I suspect he’s just a counterfeit, merely picking up scraps!”
“That’s impossible, right?”
“How could it be impossible? If he were really that strong, why wouldn’t he reveal his aura?!”
“That makes sense. If that’s the case, then let’s take action!”
Li Congxin’s eyes suddenly became resolute, his ambition burning fiercely within him.
If the deceased Lesser Celestial King had heard this, he would undoubtedly be laughing his head off.
He had proven with his life how terrifying Zhou Tong was; how blind could these two be to say such foolish words?
“Mother, I want to have Yue’er today!”
Li Xiang suddenly spoke up, causing both to pause.
The intimate scenes of the Little Demoness and Zhou Tong replayed in his mind, driving him to madness with jealousy, fearing they would take the next step together, so he wanted to strike first.
“This…”
Li Congxin fell into hesitation again; the background of the Azure Cold Moon was too impressive, even the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground had to give way. If they dared to offend…
“Hmph… actions speak louder than words; I’ll make the decision!”
Lin Ruoxii gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s kidnap that woman with lightning speed!”
“And then let Xiang make his move; once it’s done, even that old monster from the Joyful Union Sect probably won’t say anything more!”
Upon hearing this, Li Congxin still hesitated.
“Don’t hesitate any longer; the Divine Calculator has already said that the outcome is predetermined. That Virgin Saint will ultimately marry Xiang; we’re just bringing this result forward a bit!”
Lin Ruoxii persistently persuaded him, eventually leading Li Congxin to make his decision.
“Alright, I’ll listen to my wife this time!”
The few of them were unaware that their conversation had been clearly overheard by Zhou Tong, who clenched his fists tightly.
“Let’s make our move today…”
Zhou Tong muttered to himself. He had originally wanted to let these people flounder for a few more days, but it seemed that there was no better day than today; the Li Family of the Central Continent should return to their rightful owner!
After the assessment ended, everyone dispersed and started leaving the Training Grounds one after another.
Zhou Tong and the Little Demoness held hands, but found that the Empress was still following closely beside them.
“Are you done yet?”
The Little Demoness was angry. “Are you planning to follow us home?”
“Weren’t we supposed to help this Empress overcome tribulations? I’ll just go with you; it saves me the trouble of making multiple trips!”
“Is it just about saving trouble?”
The Little Demoness looked at her disdainfully. “I’m embarrassed to point it out; you clearly just want to savor someone’s body. How shameless!”
Upon hearing this, the Empress not only wasn’t angry but instead smiled.
“In a certain sense, isn’t that also saving trouble?”
“Get away from me; the You Family doesn’t welcome you!”
“What if I increase the investment in the You Family by double; how would you respond then?”
This statement was undeniable and clearly heard by the You Family’s head, who immediately widened his eyes like the sun.
“Hmph, I’m not familiar with you!” The Little Demoness directly rejected coldly.
“Then let’s double it!”
“I’m not on that level of familiarity with you yet!”
“Triple it!”
“I still don’t know much about you…”
“Quadruple it!!”
“Deal, deal! We’re willing! If Your Majesty the Empress could visit our humble abode in the You Family, it would indeed be our honor!”
The head of the You Family rushed over, his face full of flattery, quickly making an invitation on behalf of the Little Demoness.
What was this Empress? She was clearly a mountain of gold! If he let this opportunity slip by, he would regret it for the rest of his life and even rise from his deathbed to overturn tables!
“Hey, old man!”
The Little Demoness couldn’t help but frown, about to retort when she was met with the head’s pitiful expression.
“Virgin Saint, please have mercy; my tenure as head is tough, and I’m on the brink of starving! Can you bear that?”
“Moral coercion, is it? My morals are already few; if you want to bind them even more, don’t blame me for completely losing them!”
The Little Demoness sneered, and before her words could fall, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly descended, heavily pressing down on everyone’s shoulders!
“It’s a Sage!”
Zhou Tong’s mouth curled up; these suicidal fools had finally decided to act!
