#642 - Another evil love
According to Xu Sui, there are fourteen demon lands in the world.
Logically, there should be fourteen demon kings.
Qing Xian had previously said that there would only ever be one "Celestial Spirit" in this world, so if she wasn't "short-sighted," then this stunning woman named Su Xiu could not possibly be a Celestial Spirit body.
Indeed, that was the case.
The successive demon kings of the Seventh Demon Land were not appointed by some "Celestial Spirit," but had always been controlled by the Heart Moon Fox Demon clan.
Just like animals in the previous life were divided into many families and genera, the demons and beasts of this world were also diverse.
Fox demons alone could be divided into Heart Moon, Qingqiu, Tushan, and other clans.
Each clan of fox demons had a different appearance and was skilled in different illusions. It could be said that although they were all foxes, they were at most considered "distant relatives."
They each had their own activity areas and rarely interacted with other clans.
Apart from these "named" major clans, the remaining small clans scattered throughout the land could only be called "wild foxes."
Strictly speaking, Yang Liushi, who came from the Shiwan Mountains, was a "wild fox."
But I digress, let's return to the Seventh Demon Land.
As I just mentioned, the successive demon kings of the Seventh Demon Land were all appointed by the Heart Moon Fox Demon clan, and this had been the case for thousands of years.
Since this was the case, some "nine sons vying for the throne" dramas were inevitable.
Thirty years ago, the old demon king died unexpectedly, and among his descendants, a full eight fox demons were qualified to inherit the throne.
Among these eight demons, the youngest was named Su Xiu, who had only just transformed into human form that year.
Although Su Xiu was the youngest, she was the most beloved child of the old demon king, who had always favored her during his lifetime.
However, now that the old demon king was dead, she, with the shallowest cultivation and weakest foundation, became the target of the other seven.
Less than half a year after the old demon king's death, Su Xiu was falsely accused by her older brothers and sisters of "having an affair with a human," not only was she removed from the Crescent Moon Fox Demon clan, but she was also expelled from the Seventh Demon Land.
No one knew where she went after that, and no one cared.
Because after dealing with such an insignificant little sister, the remaining seven immediately plunged into a fierce battle for the throne.
Deceit, intrigue, and backstabbing.
The power struggles of the demon race were no less intense than those of humans, and this battle for the new demon king of the Seventh Demon Land lasted a full three years.
Three years later, four of the seven demons had died, and the remaining three had reached the final juncture to determine the victor.
However, just as everything was about to be settled, the Da Jue's hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly approached White Spirit Mountain, claiming to recover "lost territory."
Saying "recover" was not quite accurate, after all, strictly speaking, the Seventh Demon Land was located within Da Jue's territory.
However, just like the relationship between Da Ning and the Shiwan Mountains, Da Jue's attitude towards this demon holy land had always been to "turn a blind eye" and never interfere too much.
Therefore, such a change of face was undoubtedly unprecedented.
Not only was it unannounced, but there was also no reason.
More importantly, the Seventh Demon Land, which had been fighting internally for three years, was unable to resist.
In just a few months, the human army completely occupied the Seventh Demon Land and captured White Spirit Mountain.
The Da Jue emperor waved his hand, ordered the execution of the three fox demons, and then unexpectedly announced the withdrawal of troops.
They came aggressively and left very hastily.
This "Human-Demon War" ended somewhat inexplicably, as if the Da Jue emperor's mobilization was only to kill those three fox demons.
After that, the Da Jue Dynasty never interfered in the affairs of the Seventh Demon Land again, leaving behind a romantic affair between the Da Jue emperor and the demon king in the mouths of the demons of White Spirit Mountain.
Although the vows of love remained, letters of love were difficult to send.
At that time, he only suffered from the burden of fame, and was furious for the sake of his beloved.
The above is the story of this man and woman in the Golden Palace.
The woman's name is Su Xiu, and the man's name is Yan Huanwen.
A similar story had actually happened to Li Qi, but he was obviously more ruthless than Yan Huanwen.
After all, the latter didn't "kill to silence," and even sent troops to help Su Xiu seize the throne of the demon king.
As for why these emperors all liked to have "incestuous love affairs" with demon women...
Perhaps it was because demon women were mostly beautiful after transforming, and human women were indeed difficult to compare.
As the saying goes, one loves beauty more than the country.
Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand.
...
The scene returns to the Golden Palace.
Hearing Yan Huanwen's words, Su Xiu did not answer immediately, but poured and drank a glass of wine first, and then asked quietly:
"King Jue, if it weren't for that teleportation array, would you never come to White Spirit Mountain in your life?"
"Xiu'er..."
Yan Huanwen suddenly raised his head, subconsciously called out, but then closed his mouth.
After a long while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said in a low voice.
"Demon King, you and I have long been clear, what is the point of asking these questions."
"Clear?"
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of self-deprecation appeared on her lips.
Su Xiu looked at Yan Huanwen in disappointment, and waited until the latter dared not look her in the eye again before sneering:
"Heh heh."
"Okay, if King Jue says it's clear, then it's clear."
"Just consider that I was blind back then."
"..."
The light of the night pearl was soft, Yan Huanwen lowered his head and did not speak, his demeanor as if he was no longer a human emperor, but a heartless man who was ashamed of his beloved.
Seeing this, Su Xiu did not continue to ridicule him, but lowered her eyes and said calmly:
"King Jue, it is not difficult for you to use that teleportation array."
"But for the sake of our past relationship, I must remind you of one thing."
"Just a few days ago, a woman and a man came from the other side one after another, it seems that the people of Da Ning have already discovered the teleportation array."
"In this case, if you want to send people over again, I'm afraid you will be throwing yourself into a trap."
"What?"
His brows suddenly furrowed, and Yan Huanwen instantly stopped thinking about the past love affairs, raised his head and asked in a deep voice:
"Is this true?!"
"Naturally, it is true."
Su Xiu's expression was still calm: "King Jue, it's been fifty years, it's not surprising that they discovered the teleportation array."
"It's not surprising, but they didn't notice it sooner or later, but they happened to discover it when the war was imminent..."
Yan Huanwen took a deep breath and asked again seriously:
"Demon King, are those two people still alive?"
"The man who came later is dead."
Su Xiu pursed her lips and replied truthfully: "The woman who came first is now living on White Spirit Mountain."
"Hmm? Why didn't you kill her?"
Yan Huanwen frowned even tighter: "If she had been killed at that time, the secret of the teleportation array might not have been exposed."
"Because she is also a fox demon."
Su Xiu flicked her long sleeves, not looking at Yan Huanwen: "Besides, my White Spirit Mountain has no grievances with Da Ning, why should I hide the teleportation array."
"You!"
Yan Huanwen's tone stagnated, but he still suppressed his emotions in his heart.
He sighed and said helplessly:
"Alas, then I can see that woman, right?"
"You may."
This time Su Xiu did not choke him, turned her head and instructed a maid beside her:
"Go, bring Miss Liu here."
