Chapter 866 -866: The Three Great Empresses!

“`

A high cliff!

In the midst of the black night, this towering cliff stood like a solitary peak, resembling a fierce beast choosing its prey, making one’s heart tremble at the sight!

Below the high cliff was the vast river, with its waters like so many ferocious dragons baring their teeth and claws, churning tumultuously, creating many terrifying whirlpools, a scene of extreme danger.

The noblewoman stood atop the cliff, looking down on the torrents a dozen or so feet below, yet her figure was as still as a statue, not moving an inch.

“Giggle giggle giggle~~~” The noblewoman laughed softly; her voice was not drowned out by the surging sound of the river’s waves, but instead, it suppressed all other noise. “Bai family’s sister, it has been a thousand years, and I have missed you dearly… This time, I have come specially to find you, why do you refuse to meet me? Won’t you give your sister some face?”

Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~

The river roared.

Finally, a detached but pleasant female voice rang out in the void, uncertain in origin as if coming from every corner, completely enigmatic regarding its true source—”Huang family’s sister, if you have come simply to reminisce with me, I would naturally welcome such an occasion, but if you wish to start a war between the demon race and the human race… I cannot possibly agree to that.”

“Heh~~ Bai family’s sister, have you developed feelings for humans?” A hint of mockery appeared on the noblewoman’s face. “Humans and demons, clearly divided; in ancient times, human cultivators slaughtered our demon race indiscriminately, driving many great demons to extinction. As a result, our demon race has never recovered. Bai family’s sister, have you forgotten the hatred? Many of your Snake Race’s great demons, did they not also die under the flying swords of human cultivators? Now, the Demon King is rising again, gathering demons from all over to retake power…”

“Enough, Huang family’s sister, there’s no need to say any more…” The detached female voice sighed. “Our demon race, living in peace with humans, isn’t that wonderful? Humans are so much smarter than us demons, just look, sister; this world is no longer the world it once was. Humans have established a high level of civilization, technology is flourishing, why should we destroy this civilization? Wouldn’t that be a regression?”

“Hmph!” The noblewoman snorted coldly, but soon after, she sighed deeply. “Bai family’s sister, do you really think that our Huang weasel clan wants to start a war? Ai~~~~”

In the noblewoman’s voice, a deep sense of helplessness suddenly emerged, a helplessness that seemed truly sincere and not feigned, “Bai family’s sister, actually… I also don’t wish for it… In the human world, I also have an identity. In human terms, I am the creator of a business empire, but alas… with the Demon King coming out of seclusion, powerful and domineering, if I defy the Demon King’s orders, then our entire Huang weasel clan will be devoured…”

After a pause, the noblewoman composed herself, “Bai family’s sister, it seems you have been bewitched by humans… Well, I won’t force you, but… giggle giggle giggle~~~ do you not have a little green snake you are very fond of… named ‘Qingqing’?”

“What? Huang family’s sister, what about Qingqing? What did you do to Qingqing?” The detached female voice, suddenly became a bit agitated and carried a hint of chilling killing intent. “Huang family’s sister, don’t go too far, or else there will be no sisterly bond left between us!”

“Giggle giggle giggle~~~ Bai family’s sister, look at you, don’t be angry~~ I wouldn’t stoop so low as to threaten your juniors… It’s like this, in Rong City, a mysterious human cultivator appeared, skilled in swordsmanship, with boundless mana, proclaiming the extermination of all demons!” The noblewoman’s eyes shifted non-stop. “That day, Qingqing happened to encounter this human cultivator and had her true form exposed, resulting in a chase!”

Boom~~~Boom~~Boom~~~~

The river wind howled!

The river surged!

Waves of water, like dragons, wrapped around the high cliff, rising visibly with explosive speed! Between heaven and earth, an atmosphere of cold, grim death pervaded.

“Bai family’s sister, this isn’t something I made up…” the noblewoman continued. “Qingqing was severely wounded on the spot, revealed her true form, and was captured by that human cultivator. That person is unbridled, voicing intentions to skin Qingqing alive and boil her into a pot of snake soup… Ai~~~ my mana is too weak, no match for that human cultivator, and I couldn’t rescue Qingqing… That’s why I’ve come to find you, Bai family’s sister, hoping we can join forces against that human cultivator, and somehow rescue little Qingqing~~~”

Boom~~~!!!!

The entire surface of the river exploded!

The demonic winds howled and swept across the river’s surface, morphing into dense and endless sinister images of demonic snakes.

“Damn it, Qingqing… Qingqing~! How preposterous! If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone, but if someone offends me, I’ll annihilate their entire clan!”

Crack~~ Crack~~!

The calm night sky underwent a sudden change with lightning flashing and thunder booming, followed by a torrential downpour.

The river had already risen to the top of the high cliff.

The next moment~~

“Roar~~~!!!!!”

A terrifying and deep roar erupted, shattering the river water that was coiled around the cliff, revealing the body of a giant python!

It turns out that what was coiling around the cliff was not river water, but a huge white python!

This massive python, easily several dozen zhang long, was tightly wrapped around the cliff. Its white scales glimmered with a chilling luster, and the enormous serpent head rose proudly. Its red eyes flickered with a cold chill, and the blood-red forked tongue emitted a terrifying “hiss” in the air, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Close to the noblewoman, the python’s head smirked. “Bai Family girl, you’ve already shed your skin eight times. To succeed, you just need one last time. Hehehe~~ How about this, sister can plead with the Demon King on your behalf, to help you become a true great demon worthy of joining the ranks of immortals~~”

“Huang Family sister, let’s not bring this up again. Where is that human cultivator who took Qingqing? Take me to him immediately!” The white python’s eyes swirled with rampant murderous intent.

“No rush. I have fought with him and got injured. I believe that human cultivator will definitely come to us on his own initiative. By then, the three of us sisters will join forces and surely thwart him and rescue Qingqing!” The noblewoman flicked her fingernail.

“The three of us sisters?” The white python was filled with confusion.

“Yes, the descendant of Sister Su from the Fox Clan, that adorable seven-tailed red fox, has also been captured by that human cultivator. Let’s go and find Sister Su and discuss the important matters together!” The noblewoman nodded slightly and then turned into a demonic wind, disappearing in an instant.

The white python also stirred slightly and transformed into a demonic wind to follow.

…

The noblewoman, also known as Fairy Huang who was injured by Huang Xiaolong, was in the presidential suite she had booked.

Three stunningly beautiful women were sitting together, drinking and discussing matters.

Among these three beauties, the eldest was the dignified and graceful noblewoman, Fairy Huang!

And the other two!

One of them, a woman dressed in light purple attire appearing to be in her twenties, had well-proportioned limbs, a face framed with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, resembling a tipsy begonia or a pear blossom veiled with rain, no less than a celestial maiden from the Jade Pond or Chang’e who left the palace on the moon. The way she cast glances from the corners of her eyes brimmed with irresistibly enticing amorousness.

This woman was the ancient ancestress of the Fox Demon Tribe, also the guardian deity of the Fan Family, the Fox Fairy, an eight-tailed fox demon!

Another woman, also in her twenties, was clad in dazzling white silk that shimmered with golden light. Her beauty was matchless, her bright eyes full of kindness, her skin as white and smooth as cream, and her movements exuded an enchanting grace. Truly, she was a rare paragon of beauty in both heaven and earth.

This woman was none other than the ancient progenitor of the Snake Demon Tribe, the matriarch of Qingqing’s family.

Now, the matriarchs of the three major tribes—the Snake Demons, the Fox Demons, and the yellow-skinned spirits—were gathered together, conspiring on significant matters!

These three demons, having cultivated for thousands of years, each had their own demon arts, magical treasures, and unique skills. If the three joined forces, they could turn Rong City into a river of blood, where life was extinguished, and not a blade of grass would grow!

“What kind of human cultivator dares to abduct our Xiaohong and even gravely injure her… It’s utterly ridiculous!” The voice of the Fox Fairy, though still charming and moving, was filled with a murderous rage in her eyes.

“Alas… Human greed, you know it too well don’t you, sisters from the Yu and Bai families? Those human cultivators, they’re all sanctimonious hypocrites. It’s just a pity for Qingqing and Xiaohong, such poor children.” Fairy Huang sighed continuously. “The man is domineering, but I believe he will surely come knocking. At first, I was very apprehensive, but with my two sisters here, I’m confident that the three of us together will be able to handle a human cultivator!”

“But… this matter must be carefully planned!” the Snake Demon matriarch furrowed her brows. “I don’t suggest a life-or-death struggle. Human cultivators usually come from a lineage. Such a strong person can’t just pop out of a rock. If we’re not careful and provoke the forces behind him, we’ll end up in trouble, and our peaceful and carefree days will be over.”

“Sister Bai, what do you suggest?” the Fox Fairy asked, batting her eyes like rippling spring water. “You’ve always been wise and strategic. Just speak your mind, I will follow your lead.”

After pondering for a moment, the Snake Demon matriarch spoke. “If that human cultivator does come looking for trouble with sister Huang, the three of us sisters will join forces and challenge him to three matches! Best two out of three! If he loses, he must release Qingqing and Xiaohong and promise never to trouble our Snake Race, Fox Clan, and yellow-skinned tribe again!”

“A contest of skills?” Fairy Huang frowned slightly. Her idea was still to join forces and dispose of Huang Xiaolong. However, she guessed that the Snake Demon matriarch and Fox Fairy might not consent to this suggestion.

‘Never mind, a contest of skills it is. When the time comes, I’ll find an opportunity to sow discord and take the chance to eliminate the human cultivator…’ Fairy Huang’s eyes rolled around schemingly.

“But what if we lose?” the Fox Fairy said warily.

“It’s simply impossible for us to lose,” the Snake Demon matriarch replied with a confident gleam in her eyes. “With our own demon arts, taking turns in the contest against that human cultivator, giving it our all, it’s inconceivable that we won’t emerge victorious in at least two out of the three matches.”

“It’s a good idea, but what if the cunning human cultivator refuses to agree?” asked Fairy Huang.

“He won’t. Humans care greatly about their pride,” the Fox Fairy smiled. “We just need to provoke him, and he is sure to agree. Especially those humans who boast strong mana, they look down on everything. If he truly refuses, it’s not too late for us to take action together.”

“Fine! Tomorrow, I’ll assume the identity of a human and negotiate with the local powerhouse of Rong City, the ancient martial family—the Yu Family. Why don’t you sisters come along?” Fairy Huang said with a smile.

…

At the hotel where Huang Xiaolong was staying.

After taking a shower, Huang Xiaolong entered the bedroom where Qingqing and Xiaohong were held captive. He sat on the edge of the bed, grinning playfully at the two little demons.

“How long are you going to imprison us?” Xiaohong said, close to tears. “Please let us go…”

“I’ve already told you, from now on, you are my pets,” Huang Xiaolong replied seriously. “How could I let you go? Have you ever seen an owner abandon their pets? That would be the most unscrupulous owner, wouldn’t it? I’m very caring. I take really good care of my pets.”

“Our Snake Demon Tribe has never been pets to humans. If our matriarch finds out how disgraceful I’ve been, she will surely kill me,” Qingqing said, on the verge of tears.

“I can’t be bothered arguing with you,” Huang Xiaolong stood up. “You really don’t know how fortunate you are. To be my pets is a stroke of good luck that others couldn’t even beg for. I’m off to sleep now.”

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

Upon reaching the bedroom door, Huang Xiaolong flicked his wrist and a Formation materialized out of nowhere, enveloping Qingqing and Xiaohong.

At the same time, Huang Xiaolong took out an inner core of a yellow-skinned beast that he had acquired earlier and casually tossed it out.

The inner core of the yellow weasel floated above Qingqing and Xiaohong’s heads, slowly being refined by the Formation.

One could see the yellow inner core being refined into a mist of yellow gas!

It contained immensely pure demonic power!

This was the inner core that the yellow-skinned beast had cultivated and tempered for hundreds of years, essentially its life’s essence, and now it was being refined into pure demonic power, rushing into Qingqing and Xiaohong like an enlightening baptism.

Qingqing and Xiaohong felt a vast, boundless cool breath pouring down from the crown of their heads.

They cried out in comfort.

“Ah! That human has refined a Demon Race inner core…he is helping us restore our demonic power, and moreover, we can absorb the demonic power from this inner core for cultivation!”

Qingqing’s eyes lit up, and she greedily absorbed the vast and pure demonic power floating within the Formation, quietly starting her cultivation using the unique method of the Snake Race.

Xiaohong also began cultivating on her own, just like Qingqing.

“That human is quite considerate,” Xiaohong muttered, “After absorbing this demonic power, I wonder if I can grow an eighth tail~~ Cultivate, let’s cultivate!”

…

Early the next morning.

Huang Xiaolong received a phone call.

It was from the Yu Family’s Patriarch.

“Mr. Huang, are you awake?” In the voice of the Patriarch, there inevitably lingered a sadness from the loss of his son. “Today, Mr. Huang, you are going to negotiate with the president of Kangs Group, Ms. Huang… Where are you? I will send a car to pick you up immediately.”

“Okay. Come and pick me up,” Huang Xiaolong reported the name of the hotel where he was staying.

Then he rolled out of bed and walked over to the bedroom where Qingqing and Xiaohong were staying.

“The injuries and demonic power of these two little demons should be restored to normal by now, right?” Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly and pushed open the door.
