Chapter 236: Adept at Calculation

When the White Wolf Emperor heard the three words "beloved," his expression changed sharply, and his gaze turned keen.

"I know your beloved is the Monster Emperor's little princess—Chi Yun." Yuan Yao did not avoid his oppressive gaze.

The White Wolf Emperor's face grew uglier; as he stared at Yuan Yao, his eyes showed a hint of disbelief. He had never revealed a word of his secret love for Chi Yun.

How could this human know that?

"You must be wondering how I know this, right?" Seeing his expression, Yuan Yao felt delighted—she had guessed correctly.

She stood with her hands behind her back, pretending to be an expert, saying, "Because I can calculate and predict, I can foresee your and Chi Yun's future."

"Do I have a future with the princess?" The White Wolf Emperor's heart surged; he fixed his gaze on Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao sighed, "Yes, but not much."

Upon hearing that, the White Wolf Emperor's mood plummeted to the bottom, and even his brows turned sinister.

He snorted angrily, "Some petty tricks, trying to deceive me? You're asking for death!"

Seeing he was about to strike, Yuan Yao raised her hand unhurriedly and said calmly, "Wait. Don't you want to know how your and Chi Yun's future will unfold? Don't you want to defy fate for Chi Yun?"

The White Wolf Emperor's motion paused.

"You'd better not deceive me!" he threatened coldly.

"Of course not." Yuan Yao shook her head. "I came to the Ten Thousand Li Plain this time to stop the Three-Race War. If successful, I can incidentally change your and Chi Yun's fates; if it fails and the war breaks out, you will lose your life in that war."

"After your death, the three races will be exhausted and sign a peace treaty. Ten years later, Chi Yun will be taken by the Demon Emperor, who will forcibly abduct her. At that time, the Monster Realm will be in internal turmoil, and the Monster Emperor will have no leisure to attend to Chi Yun. Chi Yun will be imprisoned in the Demon Realm for thirty-seven years, then killed by the Demon Empress."

Saying this, Yuan Yao let out a deep sigh.

"Chi Yun truly suffered terribly."

She knew these things partly from historical records, partly by piecing together the truth from various storybooks.

The historical records never mention the White Wolf Emperor's secret love for Chi Yun.

But over seven hundred years ago, rumors said: after the White Wolf Emperor died in battle, Chi Yun rushed from the Monster Realm to the battlefield and personally buried him.

Furthermore, rumors claimed that the White Wolf Emperor and Chi Yun were childhood sweethearts.

The White Wolf Emperor's pupils contracted slightly; his emotions fluctuated.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

"I can swear." Yuan Yao immediately raised three fingers.

"Chi Yun…" the White Wolf Emperor still couldn't believe it, that the Demon Emperor was indeed a lecher!

The White Wolf Emperor's face shifted unpredictably: "Did I… really die in battle?"

Yuan Yao said, "Yes, you indeed fell in the upcoming war."

The White Wolf Emperor suddenly lifted his eyes, gave a cold laugh, flashed forward, and grabbed Yuan Yao's throat tightly.

"Who killed me?!"

Yuan Yao's face turned red from being choked; she quickly countered with a sword slash at the White Wolf Emperor's arm, which he dodged.

Yuan Yao took the opportunity to retreat a distance, touched her neck, steadied her breath, then looked up at the White Wolf Emperor and said, "White Wolf Emperor, even if I tell you who killed you, you cannot avoid death! You are destined to die in this war!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Even if you kill me today, it won't change this destined fate!" Yuan Yao spoke with firm, resonant words: "As long as this war occurs, you will surely die, and Chi Yun will suffer humiliation and perish."

At that moment, the White Wolf Emperor's Four Great Generals, not far off, heard their entire conversation and were also shocked.

The Emperor will die?!

What about them?

The White Wolf Emperor deeply gazed at Yuan Yao's face, disguised as a wolf demon man; for a moment, his heart felt swollen and sore.

He could die for the Monster race, but after his death, someone would bully Chi Yun…

Seeing him hesitate, Yuan Yao couldn't help but wonder: if the Monster and Demon races could foresee the war's outcome, would they give up invading the Cultivation Realm?

The White Wolf Emperor suddenly said, "You said you can calculate, right? Then calculate what Chi Yun is doing now. If you get it right, I won't kill you."

Yuan Yao heard this and smiled.

How would she know what the Monster Realm's little princess is doing now?

"Calculate quickly!" the White Wolf Emperor said, seeing her frivolous smile, feeling annoyed, his voice low.

Upon hearing that, Yuan Yao immediately straightened her face, calculated with her fingers, and murmured under her breath.

She tried hard to recall the storybooks she had read, seeking clues.

Yuan Yao pondered for a long time.

At that moment, she remembered.

A storybook said: the Monster Realm's little princess Chi Yun is fond of cultivating spiritual plants.

"Have you figured it out?" the White Wolf Emperor said in a low voice.

Yuan Yao decided to take a gamble.

She coughed lightly, "She is currently cultivating spiritual plants."

The White Wolf Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly; he raised his hand, summoned a communication talisman, poured his thoughts into it, and the talisman immediately ignited.

Not long after.

He received a reply.

——The princess just woke up.

The White Wolf Emperor suddenly laughed, his gaze icy as he fixed it on Yuan Yao: "You dare to deceive me?!"

In that case, everything she said is false!

He might not die!

Chi Yun won't be imprisoned by the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm, and the Monster Realm won't fall into internal turmoil ten years later!

He laughed gleefully, and in the next instant his expression shifted, revealing killing intent.

He raised his palm, about to kill this person who spreads heretical words and confuses the masses with one strike.

Yuan Yao saw this, immediately drew her sword, preparing to counterattack with all her strength.

Just as his palm power burst out, he suddenly received a reply to his message: "Where did you hide my Nine Star Phantom Branch seeds?"

The White Wolf Emperor's expression changed.

Boom!

Yuan Yao could not possibly block such powerful palm force; her whole body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground, blood spreading from the corner of her mouth.

She gritted her teeth and quickly got up.

At the same time, Ying Wuji and the others also broke through the Demon Emperor's domain, rushing over here quickly.

The White Wolf Emperor's face flickered with a hint of complexity.

He knew that Chi Yun's inquiry about the seeds meant they were about to begin cultivation.

Could it be that everything this human said is true?!

His expression began to waver.

He naturally could sense that those few humans behind him were approaching.

The White Wolf Emperor swiftly moved behind Yuan Yao and directly knocked her out.

Yuan Yao felt a pain at the back of her neck.

"……" but she didn't faint.

White Wolf Emperor: "……"

Yuan Yao endured the pain, quickly thrusting her sword backward at the White Wolf Emperor.

The White Wolf Emperor blocked Yuan Yao's sword with just a single finger, and coldly threatened: "If you don't want to die, follow me. This way, I will not only not kill you, but also not kill those few humans."
