Lend the Queen to This Sovereign for a While

"Seeing as you're quite the demonic talent, this Sovereign will grant you an opportunity—henceforth, you shall serve as my slave," Gu Qingfeng declared with an air of magnanimity.

Demon Pu was utterly numb.

Not only had this man taken all his assets, but now he had to become a slave too!

"Enough dawdling. Swear your oath now."

"I won't—"

"Hmm?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Demon Pu immediately backtracked, "I—I'm not worthy, my lord!"

"Indeed, your qualifications fall short, but given our... history, this Sovereign shall make an exception. Now, swear your gratitude and allegiance."

Thud!

Demon Pu dropped to his knees once more and began reciting the oath, tears welling in his heart. Damn it all... I’m so miserable!

So this was the truth—after enduring hardship, there was no sweetness, only more bitterness.

......

Half an hour later.

"Master, this is the imperial palace of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. The Azure Demon Emperor resides within."

The Azure Demon Emperor? So he’s the ruler here.

Gu Qingfeng’s mind stirred. Back in the Eternal Dream, it was the Azure Demon Emperor who led the invasion of the Shadow Realm.

So the original’s here.

It made sense—the Shadow Realm wouldn’t fabricate a random demon for their test of loyalty.

Hehehe... At last, I’ll meet the living Azure Demon Emperor. Surely nothing will go wrong this time?

Beside him, Demon Pu shuddered at the sight of Gu Qingfeng’s signature grin—the very same one that had haunted his nightmares.

But now, he no longer feared nightmares.

Because the nightmare had become reality, standing right beside him.

"Master, at this hour, the Azure Demon Emperor should be in the White Fox Queen’s chambers. She’s renowned as the most beautiful vixen of the fox tribe, with unparalleled seductive arts. Lately, she’s ensnared the emperor’s heart—he visits her every night. If you wish to assassinate him, we should sneak in from the east and then—"

"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! COME OUT AND FACE ME!!"

A thunderous roar cut Demon Pu off mid-sentence.

Horror twisted Demon Pu’s face as he stared at Gu Qingfeng, who had just bellowed at the palace gates, then at the swarm of guards now mobilizing.

I’m doomed.

"M-Master... What are you—?" Demon Pu trembled like a leaf.

"Shh." Gu Qingfeng patted his shoulder. "Just standard procedure, no need to freak out."

Without another word, Gu Qingfeng strode toward the palace entrance, reverting to his true form and unleashing his unrestrained human aura.

"Who dares trespass upon the imperial—"

Boom!

A gatekeeping demon at the Grandmaster realm exploded into a mist of blood.

More armored demons surged forth like a steel tide, and soon, even Divine Realm demons joined the fray.

As their numbers swelled, Gu Qingfeng’s excitement became unbearable.

Electric waves of euphoria coursed through him, his blood boiling with such intensity that crimson veins spiderwebbed across his eyes, staining his gaze with madness.

At the forefront, a Divine Realm monkey demon wielding a metal staff led the charge.

The demon’s eyes widened before contorting in rage. "So it’s just a lowly human? How dare you defile the imperial palace!"

Instead of anger, Gu Qingfeng burst into maniacal laughter.

Hehehe... PERFECT! This is paradise! Why didn’t I come sooner? Is this all you’ve got? I need MORE! MORE!

His deranged grin mirrored that of a demon preparing to refine children into elixirs—chilling to the bone.

"Arrogant fool!" The monkey demon bellowed. "Formations! Take him alive!"

A flood of demons surged forward, their coordinated assault like an unstoppable tsunami.

Yet Gu Qingfeng walked toward them as if embracing the sea, arms wide, utterly defenseless.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Blades and claws rained upon him, sparks flying as metal shrieked against his skin.

Simultaneously, a relentless chime echoed in his mind.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

You have been attacked by the Ten Thousand Demons Slaughter Formation!

Defense +100+100+100...

Cultivation +100+100+100...

......

Gu Qingfeng’s grin widened. So this is the benefit of formations! Individually, these weaklings can’t boost my stats anymore, but combined, they reach Divine Realm potency.

The gains were modest, but with numbers like this—

Hehehe... Come on! Give me more!

But soon, his laughter died.

The stat increases were dwindling.

A quick glance revealed why—the demons around him were dropping like flies, their bodies shattered by the recoil of their own attacks.

"Damn useless trash! Hey, monkey! Call for reinforcements!"

The monkey demon roared in fury and leapt skyward, his staff descending like a meteor aimed at Gu Qingfeng’s skull.

CLANG!

The impact reverberated across the battlefield—followed by a scream.

"ARGH!"

The monkey was sent flying, his hands mangled, bones exposed.

"Pathetic! This is why I hate glass cannons—no endurance!" Gu Qingfeng spat.

Where are the real fighters? The Divine Realm elites? The guard dogs? COME OUT ALREADY!

To lure out stronger prey, Gu Qingfeng gathered his energy and bellowed, his voice shaking the palace:

"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! I HEARD YOUR WHITE FOX QUEEN IS THE FAIREST OF THE FOX TRIBE! WHY NOT SHARE HER WITH ME?"
