Chapter 1709: Chapter 769: Land of Tenderness

When the soldiers of the Chi Prison Army left, Little Chichi’s face fell, and she stuck out her tongue.

"Little Jiu Nian, you’re amazing. Those guys actually revealed everything. They hadn’t even told the Empress Dowager. I’ll go tell her right away!"

It turns out that Little Chichi and Little Jiunian had just paid their respects at the Empress Dowager Chi’s hall. Seeing the Empress Dowager Chi very worried and not having seen Chi Ye for a long time, Little Chichi grew suspicious.

She couldn’t get any answers from her mother and was quite upset. Just as she was leaving, she saw a few members of the Chi Prison Army whispering to each other there.

She vaguely heard something about a human woman and how the Demon Emperor forbade them to speak. Little Chichi, being clever beyond her years, immediately wanted to step forward and interrogate them.

Luckily, Little Jiunian stopped her. Jiunian, coming from a family of generals, though young, understood military and personal strategies far better than the Demon Ancestors with centuries of experience.

He knew that suddenly asking them wouldn’t yield the truth, so he pretended they had already overheard the truth and used the Empress Dowager Chi as a shield. It worked, and the Chi Prison Army fell for it.

"Chichi, don’t act on impulse. I think it’s not appropriate to tell the Empress Dowager Chi about this matter."

Little Jiunian stopped Chichi.

"Why? Since we know it’s because of a woman that something happened to my brother, we must follow the clues. Maybe that woman knows my brother’s whereabouts."

As Little Chichi mentioned the woman, her eyes lit up. She had already concluded that her brother’s disappearance must be related to that female spy.

Her brother was too inexperienced, a thousand-year-old bachelor, and was suddenly tricked by a beauty. He was utterly mesmerized.

She was very curious about what kind of extraordinary woman could handle her brother!

No, wait, what kind of vixen could?

"Chichi, you’re too naive. Didn’t you notice the Chi Prison Army and Master’s tense expressions? Demon Emperor Chi Ye has great prestige at Beiyu Palace. His disappearance will surely cause significant upheaval. The Empress Dowager Chi has only one son, and knowing he might be in danger, she still refuses to search outside, considering potential disturbances from those in South Nether City."

Little Jiunian had been at Beiyu Palace for several months.

During these months, the Empress Dowager Chi taught him diligently, hoping to train Little Jiunian to be the counterpart of Chi Ye, leaving no effort spared.

Little Jiunian didn’t disappoint. Like a sponge, he quickly mastered civil and military strategies.

Now, his understanding of the situation in the Demon World surpassed even Chichi.

He was well aware of the long-standing animosity between South Nether City and Beiyu Palace.

Now, with the balance in the Central Plains, the throat of the Demon World, disrupted, the disappearance of the Beiyu Emperor will surely lead the South Nether Emperor to attack Beiyu Palace.

In such circumstances, the Empress Dowager Chi is the only one guarding Beiyu Palace. She cannot leave now.

If Chichi were to inform her, it would only distract the Empress Dowager Chi and affect her subsequent plans.

Listening to Little Jiunian’s analysis, Chichi was somewhat uncertain, but knowing that Jiunian usually had more ideas, if he said not to tell her mother, then it mustn’t be said.

"What should we do then?"

"Do you want to find the Demon Emperor Chi Ye?"

Little Jiunian asked back.

"Yes, I’m very worried about my brother. Though he seems fierce and powerful, he’s always been particularly naive. If it’s people he’s close to, he’s easily deceived. Otherwise, my mother and I wouldn’t have been able to dominate him over the years. As his sister, if I don’t go find him, he might be cheated by a bad woman until he has nothing left."

Little Chichi wore an air of a small adult.

Little Jiunian’s lips twitched. If the Demon Emperor Chi Ye knew his precious sister thought of him this way, he’d probably be furious enough to faint.

"Then it’s settled. Since the Empress Dowager can’t go, we’ll go find the Demon Emperor Chi Ye instead. I guess he might still be in Ancient Nine Provinces, perhaps we can find some clues in the Tongtian Tribe."

Little Jiunian said.

He also had some personal interest.

The Demon Road to the Tongtian Tribe passed by the place where the Land God was sealed. He hadn’t seen him in a long time and wanted to visit, even if it was just a sneak peek.

"But with just the two of us, it might be okay in the Demon World, but if we go to the Human Realm, won’t we face great trouble?"

Chichi hadn’t forgotten, during her training, being captured by humans. If not for sheer luck, landing in Little Jiunian’s hands, her fate would have been dire.

It’s said that humans are merciless to demons, flaying them and extracting their inner core.

"Don’t worry, my godmother Ye Lingyue is in Ancient Nine Provinces; she’s very powerful. I already wrote to her last time, and she replied, saying she’s at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, which isn’t far from the Tongtian Tribe. As long as we find some clues, we can seek refuge with my godmother. She doesn’t dislike the Demon Clan and will definitely find a way to locate the Demon Emperor Chi Ye. Besides, I’ve learned some simple demon arts, which should be enough to protect ourselves."

Little Jiunian spoke of Ye Lingyue with admiration.

"What you say makes some sense. Mother and Brother Chi Ye always say I’m too young and won’t let me out. This time, I must stand out. Wait a moment, I’ll grab some demon elixir bullets to take with us. If we encounter any powerful enemies on the way, I’ll use a slingshot to kill them."

After discussing, Little Chichi and Little Jiunian decided to sneak away while the Empress Dowager Chi was too busy to notice.

Last time Chichi snuck out of the palace, she discovered a secret passage. This time, she used it to leave the palace again.

The two left the palace and happened to come across a military beast chariot about to leave Qianyu City, quickly sneaking onto the carriage. The two little ones traveled day and night and snuck out this way.

Meanwhile, Little Chichi and Little Jiunian were searching for any trace of Chi Ye.

At this time, Chi Ye was in the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

Since Chi Ye was severely wounded by an Ancient Demon Talisman, transforming back into his original form of a White Tiger, his life had become more unbearable than death.

Not to mention being constantly under Di Shen’s watchful eyes, living in fear of being recognized by that guy.

For Chi Ye, the most tormenting was the night.

Because Wuyue believed Little White Tiger to be her savior, she cared for it deeply.

Not to mention these days, feeding Chi Ye various horrible-tasting medicines constantly, every quiet night, Wuyue would hold the little white tiger to sleep.

But for Chi Ye, this was a form of torment.

Snuggling on Wuyue’s chest, under her thin nightwear, Chi Ye could clearly feel the two soft mounds on Wuyue’s front, causing a heat rush to his nostrils, and his nose bled uncontrollably again. Chi Ye had to struggle out of Wuyue’s embrace and dash outside.
