Chapter 1716

At this very moment, Diewumeng no longer cares about anything else; she must meet Chen Chuyang in person. As the Demon Emperor of the Mangshan Mountain Range, the ruler of the Mangshan Mountain Range, she has never seen the master of Longshe Shan—if word got out, everyone would laugh at her, this Demon Emperor.

Today, no matter what, she must meet Chen Chuyang in person and also see just how formidable the master of Longshe Shan truly is; without seeing him, she will not leave, nor can she give up.

Many things are involved here, all related to Chen Chuyang; only after meeting him in person can they be resolved.

"Diewumeng Daoist friend, why go to such trouble? I am the master of Longshe Shan—haven't you already seen me?" Qinglong Daoren refused to back down, not wishing to reveal his true form's existence; although Bai Xinlan knew and had investigated deeply, that was a marital relationship, which is different.

From now on, Bai Xinlan will reside on Longshe Shan; her body and mind have been conquered by his true form, and in just a few short days she has become one of Chen Chuyang's women, just like Elder Xinran and the others, utterly devoted to him.

"You're not, Qinglong Daoist friend—why would you deceive me?" Diewumeng shook her head, not believing Qinglong Daoren's words and not thinking he is the master of Longshe Shan.

The master of Longshe Shan is someone else entirely; Diewumeng can be absolutely certain of that.

"I want to meet him; please introduce me."

Without seeing him, she cannot possibly leave, nor can she give up.

She will cling to Longshe Shan, refusing to leave altogether; only when she sees Chen Chuyang will she depart.

"This is shameless, Diewumeng Daoist friend." Qinglong Daoren also felt helpless; who would have known this woman would act so shamelessly, she who didn't look like that sort of person, yet for the sake of seeing his true form she spared no effort, truly going all out.

"Qinglong Daoist friend, please let me see him." Diewumeng pleaded; as the Demon Emperor of the Mangshan Demon Palace, she cannot even see a person—where is her dignity?

This time, no matter what, she must see him in person and also find out who that person behind him really is; otherwise, she cannot be at peace.

The two reached an impasse; Bai Xinlan looked at Diewumeng, knowing this woman was determined to see her husband—if not allowed to see him, she would neither leave nor relent. Bai Xinlan turned her head and gazed toward the room behind her.

Her husband was inside the room, having concealed his aura so it could not be sensed, yet Bai Xinlan could still confirm he was inside; this action was naturally seen by Diewumeng, who raised her hand and pointed at the room, saying: "He's in there, right?"

Bai Xinlan said nothing, her eyes fixed on Diewumeng, speaking neither a word nor admitting anything.

Yet that action of hers betrayed her.

Qinglong Daoren rubbed his forehead, knowing today could not be settled peacefully; Diewumeng must see his true form, and he too felt helpless, so he could only inquire of the true form—soon Chen Chuyang walked out.

Diewumeng's eyes locked onto that figure; in just two steps, Chen Chuyang stood before her, moving with such speed that Diewumeng lifted her head, saw the man before her, blinked in disbelief, immediately stepped back, and then sized up Chen Chuyang.

She examined Chen Chuyang from head to toe; upon first seeing him, after repeated confirmation, she determined the person before her was human, not a demon beast.

He was not of the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline, but the purest of humans, a genuine human.

He was neither from Cangzhou nor from Lingzhou; this discovery shocked Diewumeng greatly, for she had seen both Cangzhou and Lingzhou humans before, each possessing distinct traits, and though all are humans, there are differences among them.

Cangzhou humans are somewhat rougher, with straightforward temperaments, and when they fight, every move is lethal.

Lingzhou humans, meanwhile, are somewhat more deceitful and difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Lingzhou humans dislike demon beasts even more than Cangzhou humans do—if not surpassing them.

"Are you the master of Longshe Shan?" Diewumeng observed for a moment, then asked, staring at the human before her, unable to discern anything—neither cultivation level nor strength nor aura was apparent to her.

Even at such close range, she could still sense nothing—not even a trace of Chen Chuyang's true qi—but Diewumeng could be certain that the person before her was very strong, stronger than any human she had ever seen.

This strength is not displayed superficially but lies deep within, unfathomable; if they truly fought, she might be instantly slain by this human.

"Gurgle."

All her previous arrogance and smugness vanished, never to appear again.

The more she examined Chen Chuyang, the more immense and terrifying he seemed, the more frightening he became.

"Not bad, Diewumeng Demon Emperor—you wanted to see me, didn't you? What's the matter? After seeing me, you don't know what to say?" Chen Chuyang reached out, smiled, and said: "I, Chen Chuyang, have had the honor of meeting you, Diewumeng Demon Emperor."

He still owed her the respect due, and Chen Chuyang would not look down on her just because she was weak; Diewumeng is a very important person, the Demon Emperor of the Mangshan Demon Palace, and this woman remains his guest—future materials will require her assistance.

Rather than killing her and letting others replace her, it is better to keep her, since their previous cooperation was very pleasant.

Furthermore, there was no disgrace; Diewumeng is a smart person who knows what should and should not be done.

Others who might take the Demon Emperor's throne could target him and seek to eliminate him, but Diewumeng as a woman is more useful—at the very least, one need not worry about those things.

"Diewumeng, pleased to meet you, Daoist friend." Diewumeng knew Chen Chuyang's title, sensed the goodwill he exuded, and extended her hand.

They shook hands; Diewumeng felt Chen Chuyang's power, that true qi vast as the sea.

After releasing their grip, Diewumeng examined Chen Chuyang from head to toe; the more she looked, the more satisfied she felt—those eyes were very familiar, that gaze most familiar, identical to Qinglong Daoren's eyes.

Diewumeng turned her head to look at Qinglong Daoren; at that moment, Qinglong Daoren also turned his gaze toward her, their eyes meeting.

Seeing this, Bai Xinlan immediately walked to Chen Chuyang's side, linked her arm with his, and said: "Husband, the person has been seen; we should head back."

We cannot let Diewumeng get too close to her husband, for if this woman harbors any designs—

Diewumeng reached out to stop her, saying: "Bai Xinlan, don't be anxious; I haven't yet discussed the main matter."

"Daoist friend Chen Chuyang, you kept me in the dark and caused me great trouble."

Having seen the person, she could easily let him go.

Bai Xinlan's apprehension and worry are naturally clear to Diewumeng; she also knows Bai Xinlan's body and mind have been conquered, which makes Diewumeng even more eager to learn how Chen Chuyang managed to achieve this.

This woman Bai Xinlan is quite proud and aloof; ordinary men are not in her eyes—back then, the Emptiness Forgetting and many demon kings had taken a liking to her, but the outcome was that those demon kings either died or were harshly rejected by her.

In just these few days, Bai Xinlan's eyes are filled only with Chen Chuyang; such a state cannot be feigned.

Bai Xinlan, she has become immersed in it.
