Chapter 1748 - 808: To Win Her Is Greater Than Owning the World

Chapter 1748: Chapter 808: To Win Her Is Greater Than Owning the World

Just as Wuyue left the tent, Chi Ye, previously listless, suddenly sprang up like a taut bow. In an instant, his four limbs bent, and his silhouette turned into a white streak, dashing towards the tent entrance.

Chi Ye and Di Shen’s eight characters were mutually antagonistic. Every time he fell into Di Shen’s hands, he gained nothing, and he always sensed Di Shen had discovered something.

These days, he stayed inside Ye Lingyue’s tent, relying on the mysterious power from her body, which alleviated much of the suppression from the demon talisman within him.

Although he hadn’t recovered to his prime, he had regained one or two tenths of his demonic power, freeing himself should not be difficult.

Just as Chi Ye was confidently thinking he could escape, he crashed into a wall, stars burst before his eyes, and he fell to the ground.

Upon closer look, a flesh wall appeared before him, and Di Shen leisurely watched him from above.

"No one else is here now, there’s no need for pretense between us, Chi Ye."

Di Shen’s lips twitched slightly, his gaze exuding a cold air.

He no longer needed to pretend to be a good junior brother, and Chi Ye didn’t need to feign as an adorable pet.

Chi Ye’s eyes flashed with surprise, but soon after, he regained his composure.

"How did you figure it out?"

"I’ve never seen a tiger nestling in a woman’s lap looking shy."

Di Shen said coolly.

Even a Demon Emperor, huh? Every time he was cuddled in Wuyue’s arms, nestling against her chest, he looked both bashful and content, it’s downright obscene.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ye became furious.

"Screw you, Di Shen, how are you any better? Forever unsatisfied with desire."

Chi Ye clearly saw that Di Shen was utterly helpless with that Human Clan woman.

Hearing this, Di Shen’s phoenix eyes narrowed, his fist clenched tight, making a cracking sound.

If those demon soldiers and generals from the Demon World saw their revered, godlike being engaged in petty bickering over a woman, one wonders how shocked they’d be.

The man and tiger stared each other down.

Di Shen snorted coldly.

"I’m not particularly interested in exposing you, but don’t think you can undermine the matter of the Demon Thirteen Tombs either. You simply can’t."

Di Shen had some suspicions about Chi Ye’s identity earlier but hadn’t confirmed them.

So these days, he observed the little white tiger’s behavior while having the Golden Horn Demon King investigate the demon talisman.

That’s how he found out that the Old Clan Leader of the South Nether Ancient Clan is a talisman master, and Chi Ye was afflicted with a sinister ancient demon talisman.

"You, as the Demon Ancestor, joined forces with the Human Clan to sabotage the Holy Land of the Demon World. Aren’t you afraid of bringing shame to your Di Family ancestors?"

Chi Ye spat, darting his eyes, yet still refusing to give up on escaping.

"Heh~ Ancestors? Not to mention, I don’t remember any ancestors. Even if I did, where were the ancestors of the Di Family when I was at my lowest and most desperate?"

Di Shen retorted.

Chi Ye was speechless.

There were more or less doubts about what happened to Di Shen back then.

But indeed, not a single person from the Di Family stepped up to question it, and the only one who did, Yan Jiu, met a bad end.

If it were Chi Ye, he wouldn’t be able to let it go either.

"No matter what you say, as a Demon Emperor, it’s impossible for me to help you attack the Demon Thirteen Tombs."

Chi Ye still refused to cooperate with Di Shen.

The Demon Thirteen Tombs is the Holy Land of the Demon World.

In history, only those at the Demon Emperor Level, or Clan Leaders of the most ancient clans of the demon world, have entered.

The Thirteen Tombs is full of traps. Without Chi Ye’s help, Di Shen and Ye Lingyue face much peril entering it.

"Even if I’m willing to exchange the lives of the Empress Dowager Chi and Little Princess Chi Chi?"

At this moment, Di Shen pulled out a red cloak.

As soon as he saw the cloak, Chi Ye’s eyes were filled with furious rage.

"How did you get Chi Chi’s cloak! What did you do to her!"

"Rest assured, your precious sister is very safe. Comparatively, the Empress Dowager Chi’s situation is much more critical. You’ve been missing for over a month, if you were Zhan Hen and heard this news, what would you do?"

The cloak was something Di Shen got from Chi Chi, the little girl is easy to please. Just a few sets of human dresses made from Beiqing Cloud Silk, plus some compliments from Little Jiu Nian, and without any guile, she gave the cloak to Di Shen.

"Zhan Hen doesn’t have the guts."

Chi Ye and Zhan Hen had been at odds for hundreds of years, during which Chi Ye had absented himself from the Beiyu Palace a few times, for even longer than this time, yet Zhan Hen made no moves.

"Zhan Hen might not, but the Old Clan Leader of the South Nether Ancient Clan does. Among the seventy-two cities within the Beiyu Palace, only half remain. One Demon King is seriously injured, while the Empress Dowager Chi and another Demon King hold on to the remaining cities. Little Princess Chi Chi risked her life to escape the Demon World, in search of her brother. But unfortunately, her brother is still stubborn, drowning in ignorant racial prejudice."

Di Shen mocked.

Chi Ye suddenly looked up.

"Are you really Di Shen?"

A few hundred years ago, the Demon Ancestor’s greatest hatred was towards the Divine Race, and humans in his eyes were slaves, food.

Yet the present Di Shen not only collaborates with humans but has fallen in love with a human woman.

And now, he even wants to join forces with humans to deal with the Demon World?

"I am Di Shen, but not entirely him either, as you may know, my soul and powers are incomplete. But the woman I love the most is from the Human Clan, and for her, I can do anything, something you have probably experienced firsthand as well."

Di Shen said earnestly.

Chi Ye hesitated. He too once held deep resentment towards the Human Clan, but after knowing Wuyue, he had to admit he had changed his views.

"I can take you into the Demon Thirteen Tombs, but I won’t partake in destroying the Emperor Demon Vein. However, before I take you into the Thirteen Tombs, you must first resolve the crisis at the Beiyu Palace."

Chi Ye finally showed some flexibility.

"Chi Ye, you think I’m stupid? You guide us while we have to save the Beiyu Palace? You’re clearly making off with a sweet deal."

Di Shen scoffed.

"What if I know Yan Jiu’s whereabouts?"

Chi Ye added.

"Deal!"

Di Shen agreed without the slightest hesitation.

In Di Shen’s current heart, his lover and his friend are his only two reverse scales.

He owed the entire Yan Jiu family far too much.

This took Chi Ye somewhat by surprise; unexpectedly, after a few hundred years, the Demon Ancestor’s temper had drastically changed, but his true feelings for his friend Yan Jiu remained steadfast.

Chi Ye couldn’t help but feel envious. Years later, despite acquiring immense power, Di Shen’s once-fallen and incomplete soul now seemed even happier.

Why is this?

"Di Shen?"

Outside the tent, a woman’s gentle voice echoed.

In an instant, the icy expression on Di Shen’s face melted away.

His phoenix eyes softened, and a smile unknowingly curved his lips as he drew back the tent flap, greeting, with the tenderest smile, the person standing gracefully outside.

Outside the tent, Ye Lingyue’s smile was as bright as flowers.

Chi Ye suddenly understood.

The current Di Shen, having won one’s heart, surpassed owning an entire world.
