Chapter 3227

Watching this scene, Mu Xuan felt a strange sensation that was hard to describe.

It looked as if the Heavenly Demon Emperor were Within Jun Xiaoyao's servant.

However, she then cast this absurd thought to the back of her mind.

Even if Within Jun Xiaoyao were the Xiaoyao King of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, his background was extraordinary.

But what kind of existence was the Heavenly Demon Emperor? He was the Master of the Demon Alliance, a supreme powerhouse of the Emperor Realm.

Without thinking too much, Mu Xuan stepped forward, first nodding to Within Jun Xiaoyao, and then bowing to the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"Greetings, Lord Heavenly Demon Emperor."

"Hmm." The Heavenly Demon Emperor nodded indifferently, his face calm and unruffled.

Within Jun Xiaoyao also smiled.

Powerhouses, more or less, all care about their reputation, and he did not expose it.

Moreover, for now, he did not need to openly govern the Demon Alliance.

This might instead cause commotion and chaos.

The best thing now was to let the Heavenly Demon Emperor purge the Demon Alliance and deal with those rebellious elements with ulterior motives.

After a thorough reorganization, when the time was right, Within Jun Xiaoyao would take over the Demon Alliance openly.

If there were any chaos in the Demon Alliance then, it would be a matter of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's capability.

Within Jun Xiaoyao believed that a supreme powerhouse of the Emperor Realm would not lack even that much skill.

"Young Master Jun, that Fire Qilin Demon Emperor..." Mu Xuan asked.

"Everything has been resolved; next, we just need to reorganize the Demon Alliance."

"These can be left to the Heavenly Demon Emperor to handle," Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

Mu Xuan was stunned again.

Why did Within Jun Xiaoyao seem so disrespectful toward the Heavenly Demon Emperor?

She couldn't help but secretly transmit her voice: "Young Master Jun, this is the Master of our Demon Alliance, a supreme powerhouse of the Emperor Realm; we still need to be a bit respectful toward him."

Within Jun Xiaoyao was speechless upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor seemed to have sensed something as well and gave a slight, dry cough.

"Cough, well, if not for the young friend, I would not have been able to resolve the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor so smoothly."

"This time, thanks to the young friend's assistance, we shall return first and begin the work of purging the Demon Alliance."

After the Heavenly Demon Emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, the void rippled, and a spatial passage appeared directly.

Mu Xuan nodded slightly, not thinking too much, only assuming that Within Jun Xiaoyao had helped the Heavenly Demon Emperor, which was why the Heavenly Demon Emperor's attitude toward him was good.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a smile.

If she learned the truth in the future, she wondered what kind of shocked, bewildered, and cute expression this Empress Mu Xuan would show.

Afterward.

Their group returned to the Demon Alliance.

When the news of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's return spread.

The entire Demon Alliance, and even the Tuoluo Demon World, were stirred into a massive upheaval.

Countless demon cultivators were shocked, not expecting the Heavenly Demon Emperor to still be alive.

Some demon clans in the Demon Alliance were filled with trepidation.

With the Heavenly Demon Emperor's return, there would undoubtedly be a bloody purge ahead.

Who knew how many clans and powerful demon cultivators would be held to account.

However, that was no longer Within Jun Xiaoyao's concern.

Since he had already obtained the State-Suppressing Seal, Within Jun Xiaoyao was prepared to leave.

He was very satisfied with the gains from this trip to the Tuoluo Demon World.

Not to mention the State-Suppressing Seal.

He had also obtained the origin of the Tuoluo Demon World.

Additionally, he had even controlled the Heavenly Demon Emperor, a supreme powerhouse of the Emperor Realm, indirectly controlling the entire Demon Alliance.

This was the true major harvest.

"You are leaving."

Inside the Demon Alliance Imperial Palace, in a back garden.

This was Mu Xuan's private space.

In a pavilion, Mu Xuan and Within Jun Xiaoyao sat opposite each other.

"Since I have already obtained what I wanted, naturally I must leave," Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

Mu Xuan was silent for a moment.

In front of them, tea was laid out.

The amber-colored tea was clear and translucent, emitting a lingering fragrance.

Within Jun Xiaoyao picked up the tea and gestured to Mu Xuan: "Was our cooperation this time quite pleasant?"

Mu Xuan's jade hand also picked up the tea, clinking her cup with Within Jun Xiaoyao's.

Within Jun Xiaoyao drank it in one gulp and then praised.

"As expected of the Demon Spike Flower Tea unique to the Tuoluo Demon World; one cannot drink this elsewhere."

"Not to mention that it was brewed by you, Mu Xuan, personally; the taste is even more extraordinary."

Within Jun Xiaoyao was a tea lover.

And regarding the tea ceremony, the person brewing the tea was also a very important link.

If a fair-skinned, beautiful woman brewed tea for you, versus a bearded, burly man, could the feeling and experience be the same?

Not to mention that Mu Xuan was the Empress of the Demon Alliance.

Tea brewed personally by an Empress certainly tasted different from that of ordinary maids or servants.

Hearing Within Jun Xiaoyao's words of praise.

Mu Xuan cast a glance at Within Jun Xiaoyao with her cold, alluring phoenix eyes.

"Do you say the same to other women, Young Master Jun?"

"..." Within Jun Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression, Mu Xuan chuckled lightly.

It was also the first time she had seen Within Jun Xiaoyao, who was always calm and composed, reveal such a speechless expression.

It actually felt quite novel.

He was no longer the ethereal and high-and-mighty immortal, appearing a bit more approachable.

"If you leave the Tuoluo Demon World, you won't be able to drink this flower tea anymore."

"If you stay here, I could brew it for you when I'm free," Mu Xuan said subconsciously.

Then she suddenly realized the implication of these words; had she spoken too directly?

Her porcelain-like cheeks were quietly suffused with a faint blush.

And when Within Jun Xiaoyao heard this, his expression became slightly peculiar.

Brew it for him when she's free?

Within Jun Xiaoyao admitted that he detected some ambiguity.

But he smiled appropriately: "I would like that, but unfortunately, I have other matters to attend to."

Mu Xuan understood as well, and she revealed a smile: "It was just a joke; how could the dignified Xiaoyao King be confined to the small Tuoluo Demon World?"

She smiled, then paused, and looked at Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Then in the future, will we... still be able to meet?"

Seeming afraid of causing Within Jun Xiaoyao to misunderstand, Mu Xuan immediately added.

"I mean, we could explore, exchange ideas, cultivate, or something..."

Within Jun Xiaoyao said: "I think there will be an opportunity."

This was not just Within Jun Xiaoyao's polite talk.

Since Mu Xuan had obtained the Fluctuating Demon Star.

Then she was destined to be involved in the strife of the Seven Stars of the Troubled Times.

Also, don't forget, the Heavenly Demon Emperor had said as much.

The appearance of the Fluctuating Demon Star might mean the appearance of the Demon of Destiny, involving the Master of Ten Thousand Demons and the Demon Court.

Within Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that if that so-called Demon of Destiny appeared.

It might have some influence on the Demon Alliance, and even Mu Xuan.

But now, the Demon Alliance was a force Within Jun Xiaoyao intended to keep in his own hands.

Naturally, he could not let others pick the peaches.

The same went for Mu Xuan; since she was the master of the Fluctuating Demon Star he had designated, she could not be influenced by others either.

Thinking of this, Within Jun Xiaoyao looked at Mu Xuan and said.

"There will definitely be a chance to meet again, but you must not be snatched away by others, otherwise I will be displeased."

Within Jun Xiaoyao meant that he did not want the potential Demon of Destiny to influence Mu Xuan.

But clearly, hearing it from Mu Xuan's perspective, it was another completely different meaning.

What do you mean by not being snatched away by others?

Does it mean Within Jun Xiaoyao has already claimed ownership of her?

Also, Within Jun Xiaoyao's tone was a bit too overbearing.

She hadn't even expressed anything yet; how did it seem like she was about to be occupied by him?

Mu Xuan was in a state of mental turmoil, her beautiful cheeks becoming even more flushed, and even her translucent earlobes were red through and through.

"You... what kind of person do you take me for?" Mu Xuan's tone was broken, carrying a hint of faint, shy annoyance.

Her voice was so sweet it seemed like it would drip water; where was the dignity of the Demon Alliance Empress she usually held?

Looking at this blushing yet stubbornly composed Empress, Within Jun Xiaoyao wondered if she had misunderstood something.

But Within Jun Xiaoyao did not think too much and took out the Hundred Demon Scroll, handing it to Mu Xuan.

"Keep this Hundred Demon Scroll; although the Heavenly Demon Emperor has returned, I have already told him that you are still the Empress of the Demon Alliance, and your status will not change."

"I very much hope that the Demon Alliance will become even more prosperous in your hands."

Mu Xuan looked at the Hundred Demon Scroll in her hand, then looked at Within Jun Xiaoyao, and nodded.

Afterward, Within Jun Xiaoyao left.

Watching Within Jun Xiaoyao walk away, a faint sense of melancholy appeared in Mu Xuan's phoenix eyes.

Then, as if thinking of something, she bit her red, vermilion lips with her translucent, pearly teeth.

"What do you mean I would be snatched away by others."

"I am not your person!"

Mu Xuan was secretly annoyed, but she ignored her own face, which was as vibrant as the evening glow on the horizon.
