Chapter 117

Xu Que was stunned, his little heart thumping wildly; happiness had come so suddenly!

Looking at Su Ling'er's exquisite face, which was beautiful enough to be a demon, the two cute little white ears on her head, and the six fluffy snow-white tails behind her, Xu Que couldn't help but imagine a blood-pumping scene.

However...

A trace of cunning flashed in Su Ling'er's eyes. The small hand hidden behind her back suddenly took out a handful of noodles, waved them in front of him, and said with a smile: "Here, the noodles are here, you make them!"

"..." The expression on Xu Que's face instantly froze.

Damn! This little liar! Where is the trust between people?

Seeing Xu Que's deflated expression, Su Ling'er suppressed her laughter, pretended to be serious, gave him a fierce glare, and said in annoyance: "I knew you monkey didn't have good intentions."

Finally, after Su Ling'er figured out the meaning of the words, Xu Que had made two bowls of noodles in all seriousness, causing Su Ling'er to think at the time that she had really wronged him, and she felt guilty all night.

But today at the Thunder Pool, Xu Que couldn't help but tease her again, which made Su Ling'er suspicious, so she really ran to the kitchen at night, grabbed a handful of noodles, and ran over to take revenge on Xu Que.

Xu Que felt his heart was hurt, clutched his chest, and scolded indignantly: "This is deception, fraud, hurting the pure friendship between us, you are committing a crime!"

"You've taken advantage of me so many times, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're acting like you're in the right!" Su Ling'er glared at him, stuffed the noodles in her hand into Xu Que's hand, and said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Now it counts as returning your first condition. You make the noodles yourself. Also, leave early tomorrow morning to go to the Demon City to ascend the throne!"

After speaking, she turned around, stepped on the moonlight on the ground, and gradually walked away. Her back looked like she was actually quite happy...

The corners of Xu Que's mouth twitched, and his heart ached.

Having been an 'old driver' for so many years, he didn't expect to flip the car today; it was simply a major stain on his life!

Early the next morning, Xu Que and Su Ling'er, including Little Seven and several experts from the Heavenly Demon Tribe, set off together for the Demon City!

It is worth mentioning that in the early morning when the sky was slightly bright, Xu Que also received a system notification that the Golden Core in his body had shattered into an infant; he had truly stepped into the Nascent Soul stage!

And because of the huge experience pool accumulated earlier, Xu Que had leveled up four times in a row!

So much so that when Su Ling'er and the others saw Xu Que in the morning, they were full of shock and astonishment.

Overnight, Nascent Soul stage level four!

This speed is simply monstrous!

To this, Xu Que's explanation was: "This Great Sage is naturally intelligent, I'm just this strong, just this awesome!"

Everyone was speechless.

After all, in their eyes, Xu Que was indeed strong, strong to the point of being indescribable!

And although Su Ling'er had successfully passed the tribulation, to step into the Infant Transformation stage, she still needed a few days to settle down; only after things fell into place would she naturally step into that realm!

The Infant Transformation stage is a huge turning point. No matter for which race, the Infant Transformation stage is a transcendent top-tier existence. Demon beasts can transform into human form at this realm, and aliens can also transform into three forms at this realm, either demon or human, or half-demon half-human!

However, for Xu Que, someone like the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox clan like Su Ling'er is still suitable for maintaining a half-demon half-human form, after all... fun is very important!

When the group arrived at the Demon City, it was already evening, and the sky was turning yellow.

However, the Demon City was not as prosperous and flourishing as imagined; instead, it was extremely dilapidated.

The entire city was located in a very remote wilderness jungle. Many city walls had long since collapsed, not because of disrepair, but because a great battle had taken place here, and the whole city had been destroyed to the point where it could no longer be repaired!

Looking from afar, it looked more like a ruin. Apart from a few intact houses scattered in the city, only a tower remained!

The tower looked very dilapidated, but it was covered with dense restrictions on the outside, which was the only way it had been preserved during the great battle.

According to Su Ling'er, after the palace of the Demon City was destroyed, only this tower remained, so the tower became the palace of the successive Demon Emperors!

So Xu Que stood at the entrance of the city gate, looking at this so-called Demon City, speechless for a long time!

Several elders of the Heavenly Demon Tribe also shook their heads, filled with emotion.

"Sigh, our tribe... has really declined!"

"Thinking back to those years, when I was still young, I witnessed how prosperous and flourishing this Demon City was. Compared to the current Fire Kingdom Imperial Capital, it was not inferior at all!"

"It's a pity that that battle back then was really too unfair to our tribe!"

"Those demon beasts back then were the real culprits! Although the human race didn't like us, they didn't drive us to a dead end!"

"Sigh!"

In the end, several elders sighed and stopped talking.

Su Ling'er and Little Seven stood outside the city, their faces also filled with solemnity, as if they were imagining the prosperous appearance of the Demon City back then!

And at such a time, even Xu Que, who was not of the alien race, felt a thousand emotions in his heart, and his expression was somewhat sad.

He sympathized with the aliens; why should the offspring of humans and demon beasts be discriminated against like this?

For Xu Que, who was born in an era of freedom and peace, this was a bit hard to accept!

"Let's go, let's settle down in the palace first. Tomorrow morning, the coronation ceremony will be held!" At this time, Su Ling'er said, and then stepped into the city.

Xu Que did not hesitate and followed the crowd inside.

After all, it was a coronation ceremony, and many aliens had already arrived in the Demon City. Some Xu Que had seen at the Thunder Pool, and some were unfamiliar faces!

However, the cultivation of these people was all between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage, and no Infant Transformation stage experts appeared.

"For the coronation ceremony, will the ancestors in the tribe not appear?" Xu Que asked suspiciously.

Generally, for such a serious ceremony, if there were no strong people sitting in town, it wouldn't seem to make sense.

Su Ling'er shook her head: "Nowadays, the ancestors of various tribes are already old, and their life spans are coming to an end. They can only rely on closed-door cultivation to maintain their life span. So unless something big happens, they won't come out easily. After all, this has a great impact on their life span."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xu Que and continued: "So at the Thunder Pool, I stopped you from killing the Tiger King, also because of this point. If you killed him, the ancestors of the Myriad Races Tribe would certainly not sit idly by. Once they come out, the ancestors of other tribes will sense it, and naturally, they will not hesitate to waste their life span to come out. And by that time, the spearheads of all the ancestors will point at you."

"What of it? Anyway, I'm not afraid!" Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, looking calm!

Anyway, if he couldn't beat them, he could still run, what was there to be afraid of?

"You're not afraid, I am!" Su Ling'er glared at him and walked toward the tower.

Xu Que was startled for a moment, touched the tip of his nose, and smiled sheepishly.

"Stinky monkey, shameless!" Little Seven stood aside and saw this scene, her face full of disdain!

Xu Que's eyebrows twitched, and he waved his hand: "Little girl, don't be jealous. Anyway, you can occupy my body at any time, but don't count on getting my heart!"

Little Seven immediately said angrily: "Dead monkey, you're thinking too beautifully. My sister and I won't serve you together."

When Xu Que heard this, he was instantly happy and smiled wickedly: "That's not necessarily true. Think about it, tomorrow I will ascend the throne and become the Demon Emperor, that will be covering the sky with one hand. By then... it will be useless even if you scream your throat out, he he he!"

"You..." Little Seven was instantly so angry that she couldn't speak, watching Xu Que turn around and leave triumphantly.

The next day, the coronation ceremony was held as scheduled!

The entire ceremony was very simple, and even crude!

The first floor of the tower was used as the main hall, and both ends were filled with many aliens. Xu Que wore a set of Demon Emperor armor, majestic and imposing, and entered from the middle aisle.

At the end of the main hall was a chair made of beast bones, covered with a beast skin.

As soon as Xu Que walked up, an old woman walked over with a cane, tremblingly picked up a crown, and put it on Xu Que's head.

Xu Que had already understood the process of this coronation ceremony last night, so he was very cooperative at this moment, and his face was solemn and dignified, trying hard to pretend to have the kingly spirit of swallowing the world.

"Please, Demon Emperor, ascend the throne, drink the Demon Emperor wine, and take your seat on the Demon Emperor chair!"

Following the old woman's loud shout, Xu Que sat majestically on the bone chair, picked up a glass of wine by his hand, took a sip, and at the same time scanned all the aliens below with his eyes.

At this time, the old woman shouted again: "By the mandate of heaven, our tribe's sixteenth-generation Demon Emperor 'Sun Wukong' ascends the throne today. According to the ancestral genealogy, the imperial title is Wu!"

As soon as the words fell, all the aliens below knelt down one after another, worshiping sincerely, and shouted in unison: "See the Wu Demon Emperor!"

"Pfft!"

Xu Que spat out the wine in his mouth on the spot, staring with wide eyes, his face full of indignation!

Wu Demon Emperor? (Note: 'Wu' sounds like 'filthy' in Chinese)

Damn!

You are the filthy Demon Emperor, your whole family is the filthy Demon Emperor!
