Chapter 224: Happy Ascension
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
The entire coronation was a bustling sight. The longer the country emperors sat, the more confused they became. The majority of the people working hard outside were the immortal guards from other continents. Moreover, there were people occasionally walking in to ask the Immortal Emperors to help out. Gradually, the only people left in the palace were the country emperors with nothing to do. In that frame of time, they felt uneasy, as though something was off.
They stared at each other for a while and battled with these strange emotions for a few hours before the coronation finally begun.
Emperor Yi Qing had finally entered and the Celestial Emperors who had gone out to help were behind him, alongside Young Emperor Lonemoon that Pao Hui had mentioned. He appeared to be extremely friendly with the Celestial Emperors and as they walked, he was still discussing something with the Celestial Emperors alongside him with a happy expression.
It was only until the Celestial Emperors had all returned to their seats that the country emperors heaved a sigh of relief. For a brief moment, they did not raise their heads to care about what the crowd was saying. After all, they were merely congratulatory statements. However, the person who replied them all the way was the Junior Emperor called Lonemoon while Emperor Yi Qing did not say a single word. What was surprising was that the Celestial Emperors all did not find it rude and acted as though it was normal.
The country emperors could not say anything. As they touched the wounds on their bodies, they felt both enraged and worried. This new Emperor was evidently unmoved by both force and persuasion, their lives were probably going to get much tougher.
Initially, Yi Qing had battled the different continents' country emperors in the Invincible Sect, so there was sure to be a few who were unhappy with him. They had wanted to make use of the coronation to add fuel to the flames and get their revenge. However, they did not expect that all the Celestial Emperors would be here, and their enthusiastic attitudes were completely unlike an Immortal Emperor, but rather an immortal guard of the Invincible Palace. Their hopes were dashed and they could not say anything until it suddenly became dark outside.
The palace that was originally brimming with Immortal Qi suddenly had a gust of evil wind that blew past. In an instant, the sky darkened and a black aura wafted from the Heavenly Gate, causing even the country emperors to feel a cold sweat down their spine.
This was...
"Demonic Qi!" A country emperor exclaimed. The bustling palace suddenly fell silent.
As the crowd turned their heads, they saw a huge field of demonic Qi flying their way and a disciple hurriedly came over to report.
"Reporting to the sect master, the Demon King and his 10 Skyfiends are here."
The Demon King!
The people in the palace all took a deep breath, the 10 Celestial Emperors' expressions also paled and they looked nervously at the huge wave of demonic Qi outside. Even Lonemoon who had been sitting and smiling also frowned, after a while, he waved his hand and said, "Let them in!"Why were they here too?
The Demon King had actually come, the country emperors first tensed up, then their eyes lit up and they rejoiced in their hearts, feeling as though they had gotten their revenge. The demons had come for the Celestial Emperor's coronation, this was evidently a demonstration of their power!
The Bo Sea was near the Demon World and today was a big day for the Celestial World. Now that the Demon King had personally come, it would be impossible for a conflict not to break out.
Hmph! So what if Emperor Yi Qing was on good terms with the other Celestial Emperors? No matter how strong he was, he could not stop the entire Demon World single handedly. By that time, the people defending the Bo Sea would still be them. With the enemy at the gates, he still dared to treat them badly and use them to establish his reputation. Let's see how he handles this!
The country emperors immediately felt elated, anticipating the new Emperor disgracing himself, then they would be able to regain the face they lost. They all involuntarily looked towards the tens of figures that walked out from the demonic Qi. They saw them quickly walk through the door into the palace, then...
Knelt neatly within the palace.
Huh?
The country emperors: "..."
The Celestial Emperors: "..."
What the hell?
(゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)
"The Demon King brings his 10 Skyfiends to visit the Exalted Goddess!" The Demon King cupped his fists towards the person in front of him and knelt thrice. The Skyfiends that were following behind him also knelt on the ground in an orderly line, their attitudes extremely respectful.
"Hey, Blackie!" Shen Ying took time out from munching on her fruit to wave and greet him. "Have a seat." She turned her head and saw that there were already no empty seats.
"Thank you Exalted Goddess, Standing is pretty good, pretty good!" The Demon King grinned, then stood up and obediently stood to the side. The 10 Skyfiends behind him also moved like quails, quickly standing behind him, not even daring to raise their heads.
The atmosphere in the palace immediately became awkward.
The Demon King appeared to have triggered some standing punishment.
So... the Celestial Emperors all stood up: Since the Demon King is standing, to show the friendly relations between the Celestial and Demon Worlds, they had to stand.
Next... the country emperors all stood up: Since the Celestial Emperors were standing and their cultivation level was lower, hence they had to stand.
Then... the congratulating immortals all stood up: Since the country emperors were standing, they had to stand.
In a moment's time, the entire palace was full of standing people, apart from the person who was sitting at the top munching her fruit and had not stopped for a single moment. The entire palace echoed with munching sounds: crunch... crunch... crunch...
Three minutes later.
Maybe because the scene was too awkward and the Demon King was afraid of ruining the Exalted Goddess' fun, so he opened his mouth.
"After I received the news, I rushed here immediately. I wish the Exalted Goddess a happy ascension!" The Demon King's smile got even brighter and he showered her with compliments with a sincere expression. "For Exalted Goddess to receive such a position is really well-deserved, the Bo Sea will definitely become more prosperous under Exalted Goddess' guidance. If there is anything that the Demon World can help with in the future, we will definitely listen to Exalted Goddess' orders and go through fire and flame..."
"I say... Blackie!" Shen Ying interrupted him.
"Blackie is here!"
"The person becoming the Emperor is not me." She pointed to the person beside her and said, "It's the chef!"
Blackie: "..."
The Celestial Emperors: "..."
The country emperors: "..."
Σ(°△°|||)
So he didn't even know who was going to become the Emperor and rushed over to boot lick. Was the Demon World a place with no morals!
The country emperors all felt that the story had become a fantasy.
Wait a minute, the country emperors were all baffled. Who was the person sitting at the top? Wasn't it Emperor Yi Qing? When did she sit there? Why was Yi Qing standing behind her with a natural expression?
Why were the people in the entire palace all blind to it, as though the arrangement was completely alright?
Most importantly... Why did they realize only now that the person sitting up there was her, and not Yi Qing?!
w(゚Д゚)w
"Congratulations Emperor chef on your ascension." Blackie changed his tune and started again, "For Emperor chef to receive such a position is really well-deserved, the Bo Sea will definitely become more prosperous under Emperor chef's guidance. If there is anything that the Demon World can help with in the future, we will definitely listen to Emperor chef's orders and go through fire and flame to help you!"
Shen Ying: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
The Celestial Emperors and country emperors: "..."
How shameless! This fellow definitely changed his speech on the spot! Even the things he said were completely the same. And, who was the Emperor chef, he probably didn't even know the other party's name!
Are you sure the Demon World was not here to be a joke?
The country emperors all felt something crumbling in their heads. In that moment, they felt that the war between the immortals and the demons was likely to never happen. In the future, they had better go back and lead an honest lifestyle!
D*mn Pao Hui! It's all his fault.
The entire coronation ended in an unexpectedly peaceful atmosphere. Up until they left, the country emperors were all baffled. It was unsure if they had been affected by the crowd's attitudes, they no longer dared to show any semblance of unhappiness in front of Yi Qing, all tucking their tails between their legs. Originally, the entire Bo Sea was under the control of the Emperor, they must have been crazy to listen to Pao Hui and think that the current situation in Bo Sea would be any different.
