Chapter 276: 161. More outrageous than a blind cat running into a dead mouse_2
Xu Yuan did his best to keep his tone even, but that "he" seemed inherently arrogant, as if everything he said came across as a command.
"Yes!"
The other party seemed to really eat it up.
Xu Yuan felt as if a certain filter in his heart had cracked a bit.
"What would Your Highness like to discuss?"
Rem's body was stiff, his expression incredibly serious.
"Weren't you afraid that I really would let her go?"
Xu Yuan pinched the face of the Little White Fox beneath him, causing it to whimper discontentedly.
"Your subordinate believes in Your Highness."
"What if I really had let her go?"
Xu Yuan asked tentatively.
"Your Highness naturally has his reasons."
Without much thought and without hesitating, Rem said.
"..."
Xu Yuan didn't say he wanted to release Tao Yaoyao now, but seeing her so trusting of him,
he couldn't help but feel a bit tempted to do so.
"Aren't you afraid that I might be bewitched by it?"
Xu Yuan asked again.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Rem declared confidently.
You trust me that much, huh.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If she knew that his current self actually had "no ability to truss a chicken," likely not even able to defeat her, he wondered what she would think.
However, since he had encountered Rem here, didn't that mean that this place was indeed the true Immortal Realm?
Xu Yuan became somewhat excited.
Since this was the Immortal Realm, then…
Surely, there would be numerous Secret Techniques and inheritances here.
Finding a Secret Technique here that could resolve his predicaments in reality shouldn't be difficult.
Xu Yuan started to feel excited.
But he didn't act hastily, as understanding more about this place was the priority.
He coughed and began to casually draw information out of this fervent subordinate in front of him.
After a brief conversation, Xu Yuan gained a certain understanding of this so-called Immortal Realm.
This Immortal Realm was not the same as what Lixue had mentioned to him before.
Within the Immortal Realm, there were three factional powers: humans, demons, and monsters.
Among them, the human race built the Immortal Court, replacing the way of heaven and maintaining order, occupying three-fifths of the entire Immortal Realm.
The demon and monster races each equally split the remaining two-fifths of the territory.
This situation had persisted for many years.
Until one day, a Heavenly Mystery Immortal Officer skilled in divination foretold that a monstrously talented prodigy was born among the demon race.
Its demonic talent was peerless throughout the Immortal Realm, and as long as it did not fall, it was surely the stature of a Demon Emperor.
If allowed to grow, it would bring turmoil to the entire Immortal Realm.
The long-maintained situation would consequently be shattered.
Thus, he, as the Divine Child and also of the stature of an Immortal Emperor, upon hearing of this, personally took action and captured it.
"Saying she has the stature of a Demon Emperor, but compared to Your Highness, she is merely like a glowworm beside the bright moon."
At this point, Rem began fervently praising him again,
"With just one strike from Your Highness, the Demon Fox was immediately defeated. Now, just waiting for Your Highness to execute her and bathe in her blood, you can incorporate her fate into your body and achieve the position of the Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop. Then all immortals shall pay homage, and demons will submit..." Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Alright, alright, that's enough."
Xu Yuan waved his hand, feeling the other was becoming more and more exaggerated.
He could barely stand to listen anymore.
"Then in your opinion, what is my current strength like compared to others in the Immortal Realm?"
Upon hearing this question, Rem blinked, hesitated a bit, then continued, "Your subordinate and Lady Dian have followed Your Highness for many years, mostly active in the three race battlefield. Although we haven't seen other great powers act, from what your subordinate sees, currently, only the Immortal Emperor could contend with you."
—The prophecy of the demon, to split Heaven Realm, the Divine Child to bind, to be executed on his birthday.
So that's what it means.
Xu Yuan wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
He was not sure where her confidence came from.
Only Lady Dian?
It seems there is another person following him?
Xu Yuan tried to condense his Divine Sense to peer into the void.
However, for some reason, though he possessed immense Divine Sense, controlling it felt like a small boat trying to steer the course of the ocean, which was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"Lady Dian is currently preparing for His Highness's birthday celebration, but she will be back soon,"
Rem seemed to understand his thoughts and said.
"Is that so?"
Seeing her still exceedingly loyal, Xu Yuan couldn't help but become curious.
This "self" of his must have quite the charm for her to believe in him so steadfastly despite him exposing so many flaws.
"Does Your Highness have any other questions?"
Rem asked.
In her view, the reason Xu Yuan was asking these questions was merely because he was too bored today, so he wanted to find something to talk about, otherwise why would he have just spoken with a Demon Fox that couldn't understand human speech?
Yet, he hardly ever chatted with people, so he seemed to be making conversation with these questions.
And this showcased even more the generosity and consideration of the Divine Child.
As for the idea that the Divine Child had changed into someone else, she hadn't even considered it.
She alone knew that the so-called pose of the Immortal Emperor was just a trick to deceive others,
In reality, his true talent could possibly even reach the barriers of the Dao Ancestor realm.
And now, he had grown to the extent that apart from the three tribal kings of the Dao Venerable realm, there were virtually no others who could match him.
The Immortal Court shall rise! The human race shall prosper!
Watching Rem, who was immersed in some fantasy, Xu Yuan felt his impression of this powerful being shatter again and again.
Tired, he no longer wanted to say anything.
After waving his hand to dismiss her,
Xu Yuan watched Tao Yaoyao, who was looking pitifully at him, and fell into deep thought.
"Woo woo woo!"
It howled, its voice so piteous that it moved one to tears.
"I can be your Star Fury, even several times a day is fine, just don't eat me, fox meat is very sour."
For some reason, Xu Yuan mysteriously read this sentence in its eyes.
It must be an illusion.
Xu Yuan thought.
After all, how could Tao Yaoyao possibly know what fox meat tastes like?
Wait, recalling her absurd performance in the game,
Xu Yuan became somewhat uncertain again.
After seeing Tao Yaoyao's foolishness, it was hard for anyone to associate her with the extreme personality of a yandere.
However, she was indeed one.
In the official setup, Tao Yaoyao was identified as a delusional type yandere.
A so-called delusional type yandere is one who imagines and scripts various little scenarios.
Not only that, but Tao Yaoyao also had something like a simulator as a cheat.
Thus, she often brought incidents from a simulation into reality, treating them as if they had actually happened.
Then, "herself" would be inexplicably subjected to her accusations; at best it might be resolved with a few more children, at worst, if considered a betrayal in a simulation, she might even consume him to prevent them from being apart.
With her foodie nature and prone-to-paranoia personality, it was not impossible for her to have tasted fox meat in some simulation.
Just like, when she was curious about what her own meat would taste like, she would definitely bite without hesitation.
Patting its furry head, Xu Yuan sighed.
Now was not the time to rescue her,
At least, he needed to fully understand this so-called Immortal Realm first.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Moreover, after rescuing her, how to escape and where to escape to?
These were all problems.
Xu Yuan stood up and said to Rem, "I just remembered a better method for sacrifice, only I've forgotten which book I saw it in. Take me to where the books are stored."
"Yes!"
Rem nodded without any doubt.
Although she regretted that the Divine Child hadn't asked about matters related to her, she quickly collected herself and returned to her previous calm as if hiding in the void.
"Woo!" (I really don't taste good!)
Watching the two leave, Tao Yaoyao howled sorrowfully towards the sky.
