Chapter 75

As was usually the case with main character tribulations, Ye Qingqiu’s tribulation was very imposing. It was to the point that the battle happening in the distance called for a temporary ceasefire as quite a few people flew towards the site of tribulation, curious to see who was undergoing it.
They only saw a pair of black and white silhouettes standing on top of a tree, but couldn’t see the one undergoing the tribulation. They were certain that person was present though, if the arm-thick purple lightning bolts that came crashing down were any indication.
Those from the Demon Race were a step behind. The one who came was the Demon Lord himself. He saw the two prominent figures at first glance and his eyes flashed. He flew over to land on a tree beside Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng just looked at him before retrieving her gaze. Feng Ci, on the other hand, seemed as if he was tempted to set fire to Jun Wuqi. Shi Sheng didn’t speak so Feng Ci could only keep this thought to himself or ponder on how to make a move when Shi Sheng wasn’t looking.
“Ms. Shang, I wonder if you have any interest in joining my Demon World?”
Shi Sheng once again turned to look at Jun Wuqi as she spoke thoughtfully, “What has the Demon Lord seen in me?”
She had given him a simple condition in exchange for breaking the seal; in the future, he mustn’t help Ye Qingqiu out. Strictly speaking, the two of them shouldn’t owe each other anything anymore. Even if Jun Wuqi didn’t keep up his end of the bargain, it wouldn’t have much impact on Shi Sheng; she would just have to deal with another enemy.
‘Why does Jun Wuqi suddenly want me to join the Demon World? Did he get hit on the head?’
“Ms. Shang is very strong.” Jun Wuqi’s praise came from the heart. He had gone to investigate her background and discovered she was a disciple of the Heaven’s Edge Peak of Misty Sect 400 years ago. Afterwards, she left the Misty Sect and wandered the Cultivation World for a decade, during which she grew more and more &123;in&125;famous.
She was hated by pretty much everyone. For some reason, she then disappeared and ended up in the Demon World. The most important point though, was that she was at least at the Immortalisation stage of cultivation&h.e.l.lip; Why wouldn’t he want to invite this kind of person to join his Demon World?
“I also know I’m very strong. Your point is?”
“&h.e.l.lip;” ‘How am I supposed to reply to blunt arrogance?!’
Jun Wuqi coughed discreetly. “I can promise you that if you join the Demon World, your position will only be second to mine.”
‘Only second to him? Zeze, he’s really pulled out all the stops! Just what about me does he find attractive? My beauty? My ability?
Definitely my beauty. Female villains always have great looks to emphasize the trope of a poison-hearted beauty, and Shang Shu is no exception. Didn’t think the Demon Lord was actually that kind of Demon Lord&h.e.l.lip;’
Once Shi Sheng had finished letting her imagination run wild, she straightened out her expression and spoke ‘seriously’, “Demon Lord, thank you for your willingness to nurture me but I have no interest in being second to anyone.”
She paused before splitting into a smile. “My goal is the starry seas
