Chapter 290 It’s hard to refuse such hospitality
Ignoring their shouts, Yun Yao glanced at the nearly burnt-out incense stick and sat up.
"It seems your God Emperor doesn't want you anymore. In that case, you should all follow me back to the Demon Clan!" Yun Yao stood up, her usual longsword already appearing in her hand.
Just as the battle between the two sides was about to break out, a powerful pressure came from afar.
As soon as Yun Yao looked up, she saw the tall figure standing alone among the people of the God Realm.
"Emperor Yongyu, it's been a long time." Yun Yao, abandoning her previous arrogance, smiled at the Emperor.
Just like that day when we met in the Spirit Pool, back then, her gentle smile made all the beauties of the Six Realms pale in comparison.
"It seems the Demon Lord truly doesn't understand the meaning of gratitude. I just saved you, and today you stormed the Nine Heavens Peak to attack my people. Demon Lord, if you really want war, just bring your demon army. There's no need for such provocation." His voice was devoid of any warmth.
Yun Yao was completely bewildered. When did she say she wanted to start a war?
"Hey, stop trying to shift the blame. When did I say I wanted to start a war? It's your hospitality that's lacking."
"The way to treat guests?"
"Nonsense! I came here to see you, but your people blocked my way and started attacking and killing me right away!"
He glanced at the divine general who came to report, his eyes revealing an unreadable expression.
The general quickly lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "God Emperor, she injured God Puxin."
"He attacked me first. Not only that, he also called me a witch. Your divine realm not only has poor hospitality, but even the gods who are supposed to be high-ranking are arrogant and don't know their place. I am the dignified Demon Lord, someone who is on equal footing with your God Emperor. How dare you be so presumptuous!"
"God Emperor, since you're not here, I'll teach you a lesson for you. You're welcome!"
The white-bearded old man was trembling with anger. Faced with this unreasonable witch, he was truly speechless, unable to express his bitterness.
"God Emperor, it's not like that. Please let this old minister explain."
"Lord Puxin, since you are injured, go back to your cave and recuperate properly. You are not to leave without my decree." This was a house arrest, and Lord Puxin had no choice but to obey, leaving dejectedly.
Emperor Yongyu's gaze fell on the ashes that had been burned to ashes on the ground, unaware that Yun Yao was feeling a sudden panic.
She had said that if the incense burned out and Emperor Yongyu still hadn't appeared, she would raze the Nine Heavens Divine Palace to the ground. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Um, um—"
"Prepare the Qingfeng Banquet. I, the Emperor, wish to have a good reunion with the Demon Lord." His cold voice fell.
Yun Yao was slightly taken aback. Judging from the expressions of the group of gods behind him, she guessed that the Qingfeng Banquet must be of a very high standard. She had only come to ask for an answer, so there was no need for such a grand ceremony.
"Ah, God Emperor, I am..."
"Demon Lord, please."
Yun Yao: "..." Oh well, I can't refuse such kindness.
When Yun Yao sat in a seat only one step lower than Emperor Yongyu, she felt countless resentful gazes directed at her, making her feel as if she were being pricked by thorns.
Look at how they want to devour her alive; it's no different from a sheep entering a wolf's den.
"Eternal God Emperor, I only wanted to talk to you about the future relationship between the gods and demons. You're making it so formal, which makes me feel guilty." She felt like she was betraying the demon race.
"Demon Lord, the grudges between the realms of gods and demons are beyond what you and I can explain in a few words. I am hosting this banquet today for two reasons: first, to welcome you back; and second, to discuss a deal with you."
"A transaction?" Yun Yao asked, puzzled.
The gods' ears also perked up, afraid of missing any important information.
Since the death of the Heavenly Destiny Star Lord, they haven't even been able to see the God Emperor, let alone hear any decisions he makes.
"Yes, it's a win-win deal."
"Tell me about it." Although Yun Yao was unrestrained, she was clear-headed when it came to matters of principle, and her expression became serious.
"No rush. I wonder what the Demon Lord thinks of my divine realm?"
Hearing his question, Yun Yao chuckled: "God Emperor, don't you think you've asked the wrong person? You're asking me, a dignified Demon Lord, what my opinion is of the God Realm?" Yun Yao paused for a moment, then said sternly, "Of course... a bunch of hypocritical and despicable people."
"Yun Zhouwan! Do you know what you're saying?" Some people in the audience couldn't sit still anymore. In their eyes, Yun Zhouwan was completely unfriendly. He not only belittled the God Realm at every turn, but also showed no respect for the God Emperor.
Yun Yao was not annoyed. She picked up the white jade cup in front of her, took a light sniff, and smiled slightly.
"I haven't even finished speaking, and you people from the divine realm are already so impatient. Tsk, how fitting!"
Emperor Yongyu's expression darkened slightly, but with just one cold glance, a divine general stepped forward and escorted the person who had uttered such arrogant words away.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This realm of gods is not without its merits."
"Hmm?" His voice was extremely pleasant.
"For example, you are exactly what I like."
As soon as Yun Yao finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Having learned from the previous example, they dared not make any rash comments. They just looked at Yun Yao with indignation, hoping that the God Emperor would take action to punish this witch.
To the gods' surprise, their usually aloof and intolerant God Emperor showed no change in expression; in fact, a faint smile appeared on his slightly pursed lips.
They...were they hallucinating?
The gods hurriedly looked at each other, and all saw shock in each other's eyes.
Their God Emperor actually laughed?
Yun Yao had no idea what they were thinking. Looking at that unparalleled face, she felt a surge of teasing.
"How about we skip the deal and sign a truce treaty with me? Then you'll bring the God Realm into my Demon Realm as a bride, and I'll promise you a lifetime of love and devotion."
The gods could no longer contain themselves with their swords and blades. Did this crazy woman even know that she was in the realm of the gods? How dare she spout such nonsense on their territory?
She wants the God Emperor to bring the God Realm to marry into her Demon Realm? Doesn't she care about her own words?!
However, to everyone's surprise, their God Emperor still showed no sign of anger.
"Demon Lord, I can consider your proposal, but before that, let's talk about the current deal."
Yun Yao's mind was filled with his words, "I can consider it." The dignified God Emperor had actually been rebuffed by her, and she was secretly laughing her head off.
"Alright, alright, go ahead, I'm listening!" She wanted to hear just how tempting this deal was that could make Emperor Yongyu back down like this! Yun Yao laughed.
The person at the head of the table slowly passed a piece of gold silk to Yun Yao.
"Demon Lord, take a look first, don't rush to make a decision."
Yun Yao was disdainful, thinking that the people of the God Realm were definitely up to no good. But when her gaze fell on the gold and silk, her pupils contracted slightly, and the more she looked, the more shocked she became.
