Chapter 1610 - 670: Entrusted with a Weighty Responsibility

Chapter 1610: Chapter 670: Entrusted with a Weighty Responsibility

Inside the tent, Shui Yaoyao’s eyes were filled with tears, swollen like walnuts.

"Yaoyao, you are being too reckless. You dared to drug Chi Ye, you should have known it would end like this..."

The Demon King Tongtian was so furious he couldn’t even complete a sentence.

"Father, it’s ruined, everything is ruined. I feel so dirty, those men, they violated me, I don’t want to live anymore, don’t try to stop me."

Shui Yaoyao, with her hair in disarray, rushed forward to grab the war saber from Demon King Tongtian’s waist.

When Shui Yaoyao woke up, she found herself **** by a group of prisoners.

In her anger, she slashed that group of captives to death with wild swings of the blade.

The prisoner tent was filled with the stench of blood.

After returning, she repeatedly scrubbed her body, wishing she could peel her skin off.

Yet, in her mind, the humiliating scene of her being drugged played over and over.

A slap landed heavily on Shui Yaoyao’s face.

She slumped to the ground, unable to believe that her most beloved father would actually hit her.

"Father, do you also despise me and no longer love me?"

"Yaoyao, clear your mind. For Chi Ye, you’ve been confused for hundreds of years, and to this day you still don’t see? That man doesn’t love you, he doesn’t even care for the bond of childhood sweethearts. I’ll be honest with you, Chi Ye is also poisoned. Someone saw him entering your maid Little Wu’s tent after being poisoned."

Shui Yi had people check, and afterward, that maid called Little Wu disappeared.

Chi Ye’s poison can’t be cured without a woman, he’d rather go to a lowly maid than accept Shui Yaoyao.

It was clear that he truly despised Shui Yaoyao.

"No, Brother Chi Ye wouldn’t fancy Little Wu. What does she have? She’s just a lowly maid. Where is she? I want to confront her, did she seduce Chi Ye!"

Shui Yaoyao thought Chi Ye just wouldn’t accept her.

But he actually hooked up with her maid, and the two even...

Shui Yaoyao was going crazy.

She hated that damned Little Wu, who usually pretended to be stupid and cowardly. When did Brother Chi Ye fall for her?

Shui Yaoyao wanted to kill that little tramp, cut off her hands and feet, and scar her face.

"It’s too late; that maid has long vanished, most likely quietly sent away by Chi Ye. For hundreds of years, Chi Ye has never shown any affection towards any woman, yet this time he’s willing to have a maid serve him. Alas, it was my oversight, giving that low-level maid a chance."

The Demon King Tongtian muttered.

He originally thought that Chi Ye still had some affection for his daughter.

But now his daughter has been humiliated, and it was all caused by Chi Ye.

Chi Ye’s actions seem to show his extreme dislike for Shui Yaoyao, but in fact, it’s meant to restrain Shui Yi.

Shui Yi, supported by Empress Dowager Chi, has been eager to facilitate the match between Shui Yaoyao and Chi Ye. Chi Ye used to be silent, but this time he rebelled in anger.

The Demon King Tongtian didn’t think it was all because of a mere maid.

Chi Ye was likely already dissatisfied, wanting to seize this opportunity to control the Tongtian Tribe.

The prisoners in the tent had already been executed, and those who witnessed Shui Yaoyao’s humiliation were also secretly dealt with.

But if Chi Ye publicized this, he and his daughter Shui Yaoyao would lose all reputation.

Thinking back to how he assisted Empress Dowager Chi and Chi Ye to power, now that Beiyu Palace was in full swing, Chi Ye, acting ungrateful, made Shui Yi feel increasingly disheartened.

"Yaoyao, do you really want to marry Chi Ye, no one else?" Shui Yi looked at his beloved daughter.

"Yes, Father, I deeply love Chi Ye, I will marry no one else in this life, Father I beg you."

Shui Yaoyao was still steadfast.

"All of you, leave us."

The Demon King Tongtian dismissed the people around him.

"Yaoyao, even if that boy is no longer the Demon Emperor, you would willingly marry him?"

The Demon King Tongtian asked his daughter solemnly.

Shui Yaoyao was taken aback, Chi Ye not the Demon Emperor? But he clearly is the Demon Emperor.

"Chi Ye is fiercely proud, and since you are no longer pure, the only way to make him willingly marry you is to control the people most important to him, Empress Dowager Chi and Little Princess Chi. Overthrow the rule and seize power."

The Demon King Tongtian already had sinister thoughts when he heard news of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

But at that time, he only dared to think about it.

After what happened last night, the Demon King’s resolve was set.

He held himself in high esteem; had it not been for him, how could Chi Ye and Empress Dowager Chi, a mother and her son, have ascended to the position of Demon Emperor?

"Father, are you intending? But Chi Ye’s cultivation is immeasurable, and there’s also Empress Dowager Chi?"

Shui Yaoyao was frightened by her father’s ambition.

"You don’t need to worry about this. No matter how strong Chi Ye is, he has only lived for a few hundred years, how could he compare to me as your father? I’ve just received news that the Human Clan discovered the Ghost Beast Clan’s treasure, the Senluo Ghost Fruit King. I’ve already ordered people to seize that treasure. As long as we get it, then my strength will naturally break through. I will secretly control Chi Ye, force the Empress Dowager’s hand, and once I become the Demon Emperor, you will be the Imperial Princess. Chi Ye will have no choice but to comply."

The Demon King Tongtian let out a sinister laugh.

Chi Ye, that boy was the first to act unjustly, so he shouldn’t blame him for his countermeasures.

Shui Yaoyao barely understood, but thinking of her father becoming the Demon Emperor and herself the future Female Demon Emperor, she was overwhelmed with excitement. The father and daughter couldn’t wait to seize the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

Three days later, at noon, Ye Lingyue led nine team members to the gates of Wanxiang City.

The Jin Family, Tang Family, Changsheng, and the Jade Fox people had also arrived.

The Wanxiang City Lord personally saw them off, and while entrusting the escort of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, he handed the Luoshu Mountain River Map to Ye Lingyue.

This action drew dissatisfaction from the other teams, especially from Tang Tianqi and Third Young Master Jin.

"City Lord, how can you give the Luoshu Mountain River Map to her? In terms of status, in terms of qualifications, how does she compare to the other captains present?"

The two captains from Changsheng and the Jade Fox said nothing, but their expressions clearly showed they disagreed with the Wanxiang City Lord’s decision.

"Captains, although Captain Ye is not deeply experienced, she is an excellent Artifact Refiner. Moreover, she interacted with the Senluo Mother Vine earlier; it’s only fitting that she be in charge of the Luoshu Mountain River Map."

The Wanxiang City Lord appeared unconcerned. The battle with Nian Xiaoxie had greatly improved his impression of Ye Lingyue.

He believed that Ye Lingyue was steady and possessed a strange Lifebound Strange Fire. Compared to Third Young Master Jin and Tang Tianqi, Ye Lingyue was more reliable.

The transport of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King was of great importance and couldn’t afford the slightest mistake.

So the Wanxiang City Lord, disregarding others’ objections, entrusted the Luoshu Mountain River Map to Ye Lingyue.
