Chapter 1647: Chapter 1647: The Grand Wedding Three Months Later
Yan Ye glanced dismissively over the entire Yanmo Heavenly Clan. Although the closer one got to the heart of the city, the denser the population became, and one could see some semblance of the clan’s former glory, Yan Ye still held them in utter contempt. “In my eyes, the lives of billions in the Yanmo Heavenly Clan are worth less than her alone. Do you think I’ve returned to rely on your strength to defeat the Spirit God Clan? Hmph, taking the heads of Ming Xiu and Ming Hong is as easy as reaching into a bag for me, and even that person at the summit of Demon Spirits is but a trifling matter. Why would I need you?”
The black dragons were sincerely terrified; it was not just that Yan Ye did not need them, but even if he did, simply receiving an order from him would be their honor.
“Your Majesty, your servant recognizes his mistake!”
Yan Ye cast a cold look at the black dragon, “If I did not remember that you still have some loyalty, and the Devil Queen did not want me to punish you for her sake, do you think that so many of you would still be alive to return today?”
The black dragon, and many who followed him, were now so scared they were practically half-dead.
Beads of sweat formed on the black dragon as he transformed back into his human form to follow by Yan Ye’s side. “Your servant has no right to meddle, but over the years, every time the night of the full moon came, your servant felt the agony that Your Majesty endured…”
Being one of Yan Ye’s magical beasts, the black dragon could feel Yan Ye’s emotions if they were intense and not shielded.
“How do you know that I do not relish the pain? If her soul had dissipated without a trace, how would I suffer the torment of craving?” Yan Ye’s tone finally softened a bit. He had used the Yanmo Heavenly Clan’s secret technique on himself without hesitation, simply because he did not want to forget Beiting Huang.
“If this happens again, I won’t show any mercy,” Yan Ye said coldly.
The black dragon knelt down, wishing he could swear allegiance, “Your servant knows his mistake; if I offend again, I will take my own life before Your Majesty!”
“I’m giving you the chance to redeem yourself. Drop whatever you’re doing now and devote all your efforts to preparing for my and the Demon Queen’s grand wedding in three months,” said Yan Ye before flying back to Yanmo Heavenly City.
This was the imperial capital of the Yanmo Heavenly Clan. Standing before the city gates and observing the people within, who at that moment were all streaming out of the city and waiting for him, his arrival prompted them to kneel and chant in praise of His Majesty. Yan Ye found this somewhat distasteful.
He cast an indifferent glance over the crowd, regarding them as a burden. Yet, in his youth, he had wanted to marry Princess Ninth Huang of the Western Wilderness. He couldn’t possibly propose without any power, status, or support. He wanted to grant her the highest honor and position.
Coincidentally, the Yanmo Heavenly Clan elders were in the process of selecting a new emperor, and they set their sights on him.
For the sake of his princess, he accepted the heavy burden of the Yanmo Heavenly Clan and even promised to carve out a new realm here, bringing all the people from the Dark Demon World back.
“Yan Ye, don’t forget, you also promised the demon god a favor,” Blue Bird, sensing Yan Ye’s resistance, spoke within his sea of consciousness.
Yan Ye felt irritated. This was the downside of forming a Contract with a natal magical beast, which could too easily read his mind. At the time, eager to escape the Four Directions Divine Prison, he wished to leverage Blue Bird’s power, which led to his compromise. Fortunately, this fellow proved to be somewhat insightful and hadn’t addressed the demon god as master before him since the Contract.
“I have never gone back on my word on matters I’ve agreed to!” Yan Ye said, clearly annoyed.
