Chapter 417: Isn’t That Even Better?

Demon Race World, the Seventh Princess’s Manor.

Looking at the various pieces of information sent promptly from the Myriad Laws World, She Qiqi’s lips curled up slightly.

Within the slit pupils beneath the young girl’s long eyelashes, a peculiar light flickered.

No one had ever been able to guess what this young girl was actually thinking.

“Now, we can go and contact the Soul Faction of the Dragon Cry Holy Land.”

She Qiqi wrote a letter and tossed it to a dark figure.

“Tell those Cultivators of the Soul Faction that if they are willing to join us, we can guarantee they will become the orthodox lineage of the Longming Continent.”

“Assist them in purging the members of the Technique Faction.”

“If they are unwilling, then say that I will go and contact the Technique Faction.”

“We shall see how they choose then.”

“I believe they won’t be that foolish; besides, the leader of the Soul Faction is no man of virtue.”

“Yes!”

The dark figure responded and vanished into the darkness with the letter.

“Regarding that Empress of the Qian Kingdom, the Immortal Emperor Body? Hmm, that is indeed very interesting.”

“But what a pity, I am a woman myself.”

She Qiqi’s slender, jade-like fingers gently hooked a strand of hair.

“Now that all the Cultivators of the Zilin Holy Land’s Saintess Peak have gone over, even sending someone in the Ascension Realm would be useless.”

“Not to mention that after the battle at the Qian Kingdom’s imperial palace, the mountain and river dragon destiny of the Qian Kingdom has become even more powerful.”

“So, go and ask that Empress of the Qian Kingdom if she has any interest in joining forces with me to divide the world between us.”

“If she isn’t interested in the world, then ask her if she’s interested in Lin Xun.”

“Furthermore, go and investigate the matters between Demon Son Lin Xun and that Empress of the Qian Kingdom.”

“Then make preparations; I’m going to take a trip to the Qian Kingdom.”

“Yes.”

“By your command.”

As soon as She Qiqi finished speaking, several more dark figures vanished from the room.

“Finally, the matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect…”

She Qiqi looked at the envelope from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

This letter was not intelligence about the Ten Thousand Demon Sect collected by She Qiqi’s people.

Instead, Su Ying had discovered the mole She Qiqi had planted in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and then had that person deliver this letter back.

“Even though you’re the one in crisis, you’re still thinking about cooperating with me as an equal.”

She Qiqi flicked the envelope, talking to herself.

She Qiqi felt that this Su Ying was indeed very interesting, even giving her the feeling of seeing herself in a mirror.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t her, because she had a weakness, whereas She Qiqi had none.

Her weakness was that Lin Xun.

“In that case, let’s agree to her request.”

She Qiqi stood up and tossed the envelope aside.

“Tell Su Ying that this princess will help her with her favor.”

“Yes.”

As one order after another was issued, the dark figures grew fewer and fewer.

Finally, only She Qiqi and Lush Orchid, who was wearing a nightgown after removing her armor, remained in the room.

“Your Highness, news has come from the north of the Demon Race World. Chu Yaoyao, of the former Demon Race World imperial family, has gathered a million remnants and occupied Beixuan County.”

“They are using Beixuan County as their base.”

“There is now a faint trend of them taking control over the North Demon Continent.”

“At court tomorrow, the civil and military officials will likely bring it up.”

Lush Orchid spoke, her heart filled with a bit of worry.

She knew that Chu Yaoyao’s forces were initially supported by the Seventh Princess; she had even provided them with much convenience and turned a blind eye many times.

That was why Chu Yaoyao’s power had grown so formidable.

Otherwise, as long as her Highness wished it…

…the Seventh Princess could have snuffed it out in the Early Stages when Chu Yaoyao was uniting the remnants to attempt a rebellion.

But the problem lay in…

…if the Seventh Princess’s initial purpose in doing this was to divert the court’s attention…

…then as early as half a year ago, when the Seventh Princess almost had a falling out with the Demon Emperor, Chu Yaoyao’s value should have ceased to exist.

The Seventh Princess should have gone to annihilate Chu Yaoyao’s forces.

But why did she still allow Chu Yaoyao to develop?

“I know.”

Hearing Lush Orchid’s concern, She Qiqi only nodded without giving much of an explanation.

“Lush Orchid does not understand.”

Lush Orchid lightly bit her red lips and continued.

“Now that Chu Yaoyao has established her power, if it isn’t resolved quickly, I fear it will endanger the Ten Thousand Demon Country.”

As she spoke, Lush Orchid stepped forward and knelt on one knee. “Lush Orchid is willing to lead an army of four hundred thousand to suppress them! Three years from now, I will surely give Your Highness an account.”

Only then did She Qiqi take a longer look at Lush Orchid.

It was only because the person was Lush Orchid—possessing absolute loyalty and devotion, and truly thinking of her—

…otherwise, if it were anyone else who offered their own opinion after she had already spoken once, they would have long since been banished.

She Qiqi sighed softly and opened her lips slightly. “Lush Orchid, in your opinion, between the sisters Chu Yaoyao and Chu Jiutao, who is more important?”

“Naturally, it is Chu Jiutao,” Lush Orchid replied correctly.

Everyone knew this answer.

Compared to Chu Yaoyao, her elder sister Chu Jiutao was the true core of the former imperial family!

During the era of chaos when heroes rose across the Demon Race World, Chu Jiutao was not only the Demon Race World’s number one beauty under heaven, but she had also personally led an army to face off against Her Highness.

Although Her Highness eventually captured that city…

…in reality, it was because Her Highness used a sowing-discord stratagem, causing the Demon Capital’s imperial family to recall Chu Jiutao and replace the general, which led to the final defeat.

Had the former imperial family been willing to trust Chu Jiutao a bit more back then, the final outcome might have been different.

But that is war; there are no “ifs.”

However, from this, one could see that Chu Jiutao’s abilities were by no means lacking.

Even after being recalled to the imperial palace, Chu Jiutao still played a role.

At that time, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan’s Dynasty was already rotten to the core and basically beyond saving; Chu Jiutao was constrained at every turn.

Yet despite that, Chu Jiutao still helped extend the life of the Nine-Tailed Dynasty by two hundred years.

“Exactly, it’s Chu Jiutao.”

She Qiqi let out a yawn.

“She actually isn’t dead.”

“But…”

“You want to say, ‘But if Chu Jiutao were still alive, she would surely lead the army personally, and with her call to arms, the morale of those former Dynasty remnants would be several times higher?'”

“Yes.”

“She is not in the Demon Race World.”

She Qiqi shook her head.

“I am certain that Chu Jiutao is definitely still alive, though I don’t know where. Or perhaps, the current Chu Jiutao doesn’t even know she is Chu Jiutao.”

“In that case, shouldn’t we be even more determined to scatter Chu Yaoyao’s remnants to prevent Chu Jiutao from taking over directly upon her return?” Lush Orchid asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t that even better?”

“Eh?” Lush Orchid was stunned.

“Lush Orchid.”

She Qiqi looked out the window, her charming slit pupils growing deeper.

“What we want is a chaotic world.”

The Myriad Laws World needs a chaotic world.

The Demon Race World needs a chaotic world.

And when the heroes rise together, I shall sweep across the six directions.

That’s all there is to it.

Otherwise, do you really expect Imperial Father to simply hand the throne over to me?”
