Chapter 1747 - 807: Belated Pain

Chapter 1747: Chapter 807: Belated Pain

After Hong Mingyue left, several days passed peacefully for the representative teams at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

Xi Jiuye, having learned Ye Lingyue’s name, began to harbor suspicions.

Fortunately, with his deep cunning, he merely observed in secret.

After a few days of observing, Xi Jiuye noticed Ye Lingyue displayed no abnormalities.

She differed from Ling Yue in countless ways.

In a past life, Ling Yue was the Female War God of the Northern Territory, yet simple-hearted, while Ye Lingyue was on the opposite end of the spectrum.

She masterfully managed affairs with grace; even Tang Ancestor submitted obediently under her guidance.

As for her lineage, there were no signs indicating she bore any traces of Divine Race blood, nor any evidence suggesting the Yun Sheng couple had ever reached out to her.

Xi Jiuye’s suspicions deepened, and it was around this time that a message arrived from the Northern Territory Divine Palace.

"Lan’er had an early birth?"

Xi Jiuye was startled upon receiving this news, but thankfully the messenger reported that both the Divine Consort and her daughter were safe.

The birth of a daughter did not concern Xi Jiuye; he had no offspring, so whether the first child was a boy or a girl made little difference to him.

However... as Xi Jiuye read the letter, he inexplicably recalled a memory.

Back then, while on a military campaign, he hadn’t realized Ling Yue was a girl. One night after drinking, the two laid on the grassland watching stars.

Ling Yue asked if he preferred a son or a daughter in the future.

Xi Jiuye did not answer, instead posing the question back to Ling Yue.

At that time, Ling Yue replied with a laugh.

She wished for a daughter first, then ideally twin children thereafter.

Back then, Xi Jiuye did not know that Ling Yue was the daughter of his enemy, Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign, nor did he realize how much Ling Yue, away from home, missed her distant parents and sibling.

His heart throbbed painfully, as if a dull blade had cut through, finally causing an ache after hundreds of years.

If she hadn’t died back then, or if she wasn’t the enemy’s daughter, perhaps their children would be quite grown by now.

The daughter she birthed—would she have her mother’s charming eyes, trailing behind him like a little tail, sweetly calling him father?

He involuntarily squeezed the letter, unaware when it turned to fragments.

"Sir? Sir?"

The Divine General delivering the letter waited for Xi Jiuye’s response.

Xi Jiuye snapped back to reality.

"Why did the Divine Consort have an early birth? Is it related to... Hong Mingyue?"

Xi Jiuye understood Lan Chuchu’s disposition; she would likely not trouble Hong Mingyue, yet Hong Mingyue was cunning enough to avoid causing friction at this time with Lan Chuchu.

Xi Jiuye felt a headache arise; having only two women was already troublesome enough. He couldn’t fathom how other Divine Masters managed with three wives and four concubines.

"The Divine Consort and Miss Ming Yue have been getting along, but the Consort suddenly had contractions. Fortunately, Lord Lan Cang brought a Fang Venerate over at the time, managing to save both the Consort and the baby."

The Divine General reported.

Lan Cang?

Why was he still in the Northern Territory?

Xi Jiuye was not fond of Lan Chuchu’s brother; the man’s conduct was improper, associated mainly with Divine Realm’s disorganized elements.

Before Xi Jiuye departed from the Northern Territory, he heard Lan Cang had come to seek him, likely to persuade Xi Jiuye, as his brother-in-law, to speak favorably to Feng Gu Divine Emperor, hoping to be sent to the Divine Domain Battlefield and earn military merits, eventually attaining the rank of Divine Master.

But Xi Jiuye had no wish to bring along such a burdensome character, choosing to avoid him entirely.

Lan Cang ended up lingering at the Northern Territory Divine Palace for half a year; Lan’er carelessly allowed this, leaving Xi Jiuye slightly discontented. He waved dismissively, not bothered to reply further, signalling the Divine General to leave.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen had been meticulously planning their journey to the Demon World ever since meeting Little Jiu Nian.

That day, Ye Lingyue gathered members of the Huangquan Team, and several others including Tang Ancestor.

"This time, upon entering the Demon World, we might have to split our actions. Some will go to the Demon Thirteen Tombs to seek the Emperor Demon Vein, while others will take a shortcut to Beiyu Palace, instead of entering the Demon Thirteen Tombs."

Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi, when they escaped the Demon World, cleverly brought along a map.

Ye Lingyue originally planned to directly search for Yan Jiu’s whereabouts.

However, considering the vast domain of Beiyu Palace and not knowing Yan Jiu’s exact location, they could avoid wasting time like searching for a needle in a haystack by first allying with Empress Dowager Chi to resolve Beiyu Palace’s crisis, then using their strength to search for Yan Jiu more effectively.

"Team leader, are we really going to collaborate with the Demon Clan?"

The Huangquan Team members had some knowledge of the team leader’s collaboration with the Demon Clan through the Tongtian Tribe.

But unexpectedly, the team leader wasn’t just working with the Demon King, but also engaging with the Demon Emperor?

"What collaboration or not, it’s merely cooperation, fulfilling mutual needs. Perhaps you didn’t know, the Jiu Provinces Representative Team and Jin Family’s representative team have already formed an alliance. Though we cooperate with Spirit City, in a place like the Demon World, caution is crucial to avoid casualties. This time, we aim to complete the task while minimizing team losses."

Yue Mei’s death led Ye Lingyue to be wary of Chen Mu.

Recently, she tasked Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya to separately monitor the Jin Family and Chen Mu, confirming their interactions.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue found Hong Mingyue had mysteriously disappeared.

According to Little Wuya’s surveillance, Hong Mingyue was secretly sent away one night by several of Xi Jiuye’s subordinates.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t decipher what Hong Mingyue was plotting, nor could she predict Xi Jiuye’s arrangements.

Faced with hidden threats, she could only remain vigilant for now.

As Ye Lingyue motivated the Huangquan Team members, Di Shen gathered the Wuling Team members together with Zhang Quan.

"This time, we’ll cooperate with the Huangquan Team to infiltrate the Demon Thirteen Tombs."

Di Shen announced this decision in front of Wuyue.

Resting comfortably in Wuyue’s arms, Chi Ye, hearing this news, reacted with all its tiger fur standing on end.

The Demon Thirteen Tombs is the burial site of the most powerful Demon Clan warriors throughout the ages.

Within lies the Emperor Demon Vein concerning the Demon Clan.

The Jiu Provinces Alliance actually aims for the Emperor Demon Vein; Chi Ye cannot merely stand on the sidelines.

This matter must be conveyed to the major Ancient Clans of the Demon World.

Di Shen observed the changing expression of the little white tiger closely.

After the motivational assembly finished, Di Shen approached Wuyue.

Upon his approach, Chi Ye became alert and glared fiercely at Di Shen.

"Fifth Sister, Yue’er mentioned that your little white tiger has been eating less lately, suggesting it be brought over for her examination."

Wuyue glanced at the little white tiger, which indeed looked rather despondent. Without thinking further, she handed it to Di Shen.
