Chapter 468: No, I Don’t Want To

Xuejiang Prefecture.

As the southernmost major prefecture of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

In Mingxin County of Xuejiang Prefecture.

This place was She Qiqi’s fief.

Before She Qiqi arrived at Mingxin County, the Demon Emperor had already purged the area three or four times.

It could be said that within Mingxin County, it should have been impossible for She Qiqi to have any influence left.

However, the Demon Emperor never imagined that Mingxin County was actually filled with She Qiqi’s hidden pieces.

Even the officials responsible for purging Mingxin County at the time were She Qiqi’s people.

The Demon Emperor thought that by enfeoffing She Qiqi here, he would bind her hands and feet, making it difficult for her to rise again in the future.

But he never expected that on the very first day She Qiqi arrived in Mingxin County, she had already taken over all affairs and the Demon Army!

Not only that, but She Qiqi took only ten days to bring the entire Xuejiang Prefecture under her control.

Xuejiang Prefecture was located on the border of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Although this major prefecture was not exactly a strategic military stronghold.

For She Qiqi, who intended to raise an army in rebellion.

Xuejiang Prefecture, located on the border, was the perfect place.

Because behind Xuejiang Prefecture lay the Snow Country of the Demon Race World.

And the Empress of the Snow Country was someone supported by She Qiqi.

After occupying Xuejiang Prefecture, She Qiqi was in a position where she could advance to attack or retreat to defend.

It wasn’t just Xuejiang Prefecture.

As She Qiqi rebelled, troops within the Ten Thousand Demon Country had already mobilized and were on their way to Xuejiang Prefecture.

Furthermore, the 150,000 Lushu Blood Cavalry that She Qiqi had raised in a small country had officially set out under the leadership of Lush Orchid.

In addition, many small tribes affiliated with the Ten Thousand Demon Country had also taken up arms and were on their way to Xuejiang Prefecture.

It was like thousands of small streams continuously converging toward the ocean.

According to the intelligence in the court of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, it showed that She Qiqi had less than 200,000 troops.

But in reality, She Qiqi’s total military strength was between 350,000 and 400,000.

However, compared to the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country, this military force was still not quite enough.

If it were a pure contest of military strength, She Qiqi would undoubtedly lose.

But Lin Xun believed that a person like She Qiqi could not possibly have failed to leave herself a backup plan.

Since She Qiqi dared to raise an army in rebellion now, it meant she had at least a seventy percent chance of success.

Furthermore, what everyone feared most was not this army She Qiqi had assembled from various races.

What they worried about most was exactly how many chess pieces She Qiqi had arranged throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Country up to this point.

Aside from those in the open, how many people in the imperial court were actually She Qiqi’s people?

These were far more terrifying than the army in She Qiqi’s hands.

Otherwise, when the two armies were fighting, if she gave you a stab in the back every now and then, no one could withstand it.

If it were purely She Qiqi’s own prestige.

Then they wouldn’t have to worry so much about the number of Secret Agents willing to die for She Qiqi being too large.

But the main thing was that She Qiqi’s mother was the illustrious Consort Su.

This woman, who should have served as the Empress of the Ten Thousand Demon Country and been the mother of the world, died in that great fire.

Her death caused countless people to lament and even more to feel chilled to the bone.

Consort Su had many subordinates, and many people left the Ten Thousand Demon Country back then because of her death.

Now, it was even more unclear how many people had stayed in the Ten Thousand Demon Country specifically to wait for an opportunity for revenge and to respond to She Qiqi’s plan.

In short, wanting to completely suppress She Qiqi was definitely not a simple matter.

Even if there was a considerable disparity between She Qiqi’s military strength and that of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

As long as the Ten Thousand Demon Country made one mistake, She Qiqi would find an opportunity to completely turn this game around.

And once She Qiqi reversed the situation, the Ten Thousand Demon Country would no longer have any chance.

Just as She Qiqi had said at the time.

She wanted to take back, bit by bit, everything her mother had done for her so-called Father Emperor.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?”

In a courtyard, She Qiqi looked at Lin Xun, who was still sitting there.

At this moment, Lin Xun was looking at various pieces of intelligence coming from all directions.

This intelligence all involved extremely important secrets within She Qiqi’s army.

This included the names of various Secret Agents She Qiqi had planted in various places throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

It could be said that describing every piece of intelligence in Lin Xun’s hand as being worth ten thousand gold would be an understatement.

But all this intelligence was left for Lin Xun to browse at will, and Lin Xun could leave whenever he wanted after reading it.

From this, one could see the degree of She Qiqi’s trust in Lin Xun.

Not only that, when Lin Xun saw some secret codes and codenames for certain people, he was completely bewildered.

In the end, it was She Qiqi who explained for Lin Xun who this person was, what position they held in the Ten Thousand Demon Country, and what role they played… “I want to look a bit more…”

Lin Xun shook his head and continued to flip through the intelligence in his hand.

“I didn’t expect you to be interested in these things?”

The corners of She Qiqi’s mouth curled up slightly as she sat down in front of Lin Xun.

“Actually, I’m not that interested in this.”

Lin Xun put down the documents in his hand and looked up at She Qiqi.

“Mainly, I really want to know just how much you have infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Even as an outsider, I’m somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of expression your father will have when he discovers these chess pieces you’ve laid out…”

She Qiqi covered her mouth and chuckled softly. “Then in your opinion, what kind of expression would my father have?”

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then shook his head. “If I were your father, I might have a breakdown…”

“Oh~ So you want me to call you Daddy~” She Qiqi looked at Lin Xun playfully, then stood up and quietly approached him.

“No, I don’t want to.”

Sensing something was wrong, Lin Xun quickly nipped this strange development in the bud.

“Alright, alright, you really can’t take a joke.

In any case, it’s not like you can’t stay here forever.

Because sooner or later, I will go to meet that slutty fox in Xuanfeng City. What do you think?

Do you plan to go with me?

Originally, I really didn’t want to deal with that slutty fox.

But since it’s because of your relationship, I don’t mind forming an alliance with her for a while…”
