Chapter 100 The Demon Emperor Who Changes His Mind Faster Than Turning a Book

Moonlight's expression changed drastically: "Why has His Majesty suddenly arrived?"

Her voice was clearly panicked.

"Time is running out!"

Moonlight grabbed Moonbeam and Cai'er's wrists: "Come with me to greet the emperor! Remember, never look up into his eyes, or we'll all die!"

Cai'er's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at the moonlight.

But Yuehui was thinking about another crisis at this moment—his old grudge of hunting down the top ten demon god successors, and he was even more worried that the demon god emperor would see through Ye Xiaolei's existence.

(I hope Xiao Lei didn't lie)

(Otherwise, I really would have died here today.)

……

When Yueye, Yuehui, and Cai'er hurriedly arrived at the main hall, the Moon Demon God Agares was already there with a group of Moon Demon nobles waiting for them.

Agares stood tall and imposing, his two-meter-tall frame enveloped in a magnificent robe trimmed with purple and gold.

Her cascading purple hair was loosely tied back with a hairband, making her stunningly beautiful, almost feminine face even more breathtaking.

What is most striking is the crescent moon-shaped demonic mark on his forehead and the dark golden light flowing in his purple eyes.

Standing beside Agares was a woman with a cool and aloof demeanor. She was tall and slender, and her clean-cut face possessed a pure beauty that seemed untouched by worldly affairs.

What is most striking are those pure, black human eyes, as clear as ink jade—these are the eyes of Moonlight's birth mother, Princess Agares!
Of course, she was not Moonbeam's biological mother.

His mother was also a half-human, half-demon. If it weren't for such a special bloodline, Yuehui wouldn't have been qualified to inherit the position of Moon Demon God.

Unfortunately, his mother passed away shortly after his birth.

When Moonlight, Moonbeam, and Cai'er hurriedly arrived, Agares's gaze swept over them.

The moment the Moon God saw the Moon's radiance, his pupils constricted sharply—he clearly hadn't expected the Moon's radiance to appear in the Moon Demon Palace at this critical juncture.

"Ahui, get behind me right now!" Agares's voice boomed in Yuehui's ears like thunder.

Moonlight's heart skipped a beat, and she quietly and quickly walked behind Agares.

Cai'er was shocked to see this and was about to reach out to stop him, but Yueye grabbed her wrist.

"Don't worry about him, he'll be alright," Moonlight said urgently in a low voice. "You are my maid now, remember—never look up!"

Cai'er stared blankly as Yuehui's figure disappeared among the Moon Demon nobles, her mind full of questions but she dared not utter a sound.

...

A tall, slender figure appeared outside the palace gate.

It was a man whose appearance was in no way inferior to Agares', dressed in a simple black robe, followed by four middle-aged men dressed similarly.

"Agares greets Your Majesty." The Moon Demon God bowed slightly in greeting.

The people behind him all knelt on one knee in unison—this was a privilege of the Moon Demon Clan. Other demons would have to prostrate themselves before the Demon God Emperor.

Feng Xiu quickly stepped forward and reached out to support Agares: "Brother, there's no need for such formality."

Agares maintained a polite smile: "There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and etiquette must not be disregarded. Your Majesty, please follow me."

He appeared respectful on the surface, but was secretly cursing in his heart.

(That old fox, if I really don't know manners, he's probably going to make things difficult for me.)

Just as Fengxiu was about to move, her gaze suddenly fell on Yuehui behind Agares, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Agares was startled and immediately stepped aside to block the moonlight.

Yuehui felt a terrifying spiritual force instantly lock onto her, suffocating her as if she were drowning, and a sense of despair grew wildly within her.

(Oh no. Are they really going to come after me?)

Feng Xiu smiled faintly and pointed at Yue Hui, saying, "Let him follow along." Yue Hui's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Agares gritted his teeth inwardly:

(What exactly is this old fox up to?)

But outwardly he still respectfully said, "Ah Hui, keep up."

"Yes," Yuehui's voice was strained.

Cai'er was terrified when she heard the Demon Emperor's words.

But the moonlit night's warning echoed in his mind: Never look up, or you will all die.
She bit her lip hard, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Only after the Demon Emperor's figure had completely disappeared did the Moon Demon Clan dare to get up.

Cai'er suddenly looked up at the moonlit night, her eyes filled with anxiety and confusion.

"Come with me." Yueye pulled Cai'er along, heading towards her palace.

……

In another side hall, Feng Xiu spoke calmly: "All of you, step back. I want to speak with this Moon Demon alone."

"Your Majesty!" Agares cried out urgently.

“I said,” Feng Xiu’s voice remained calm, but it sent a chill down Agares’ spine, “that we need to talk alone.”

"Yes, sir." Agares bowed and retreated, his back soaked with cold sweat.

After all the demons had left the hall, Moonbeam immediately knelt on one knee: "Moonbeam, son of Agares, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Feng Xiu waved her hand casually. "Your father has already told me about your identity."

"Then His Majesty summons me?"

"You—" Feng Xiu's gaze suddenly flashed like lightning, "Why did you kill my successor as the Demon God, and the fifty-second pillar Demon God, An Luoxian?"

Yuehui's expression changed drastically: (So it really was about this!)

He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please understand! It was Anlu who tried to kill me first. I was only at the sixth level of cultivation at the time, and I was only trying to protect myself!"

"Then what about the Dream Temple?" Feng Xiu's gaze pierced through like a sharp sword. "If you hadn't interfered, the goddess of nature's divine status would have already belonged to me."

Yuehui suddenly felt immense pressure, and the crescent moon demonic mark between her brows appeared uncontrollably.

He forced a smile and explained, "Your Majesty, please understand! My father sent me to the human kingdom of Galing Pass when I was young so that I could infiltrate the upper echelons of the Holy Temple."

"In the battle of Dream Paradise, as the leader of the human forces, if I hadn't intervened to stop the demons from seizing the Seven-Colored Spirit Furnace, it would have aroused the suspicion of the Holy Temple." Cold sweat beaded on Moonbeam's forehead. "All the identity I've painstakingly cultivated over the years would have been ruined."

He knelt on one knee again, saying, "Furthermore, I truly did not know that the Seven-Colored Spirit Furnace was what His Majesty needed. If I had known earlier, I would never have dared to obstruct it, even if it meant exposing my identity!"

Feng Xiu's gaze was sharp as lightning: "Then why did you strike so hard? Don't you know that A Bao is my successor? Your sister Yue Ye is also in the team."

"Your Majesty is wise. It was precisely because I knew that Prince Abao was your successor that I was certain he possessed the life-saving techniques left by Your Majesty and was in no danger to his life." Yuehui hurriedly explained.

He forced himself to continue, "That's why I even attacked my own sister to gain the complete trust of the temple's higher-ups. Now that I've been promoted to Vice Temple Master of the Magic Temple, I'm even more helpful to His Majesty's great cause."

Upon hearing Yuehui's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Fengxiu's cold and stern face.

“Nephew, there’s no need to be so nervous.” The Demon Emperor’s voice suddenly softened. “I just want to get to the bottom of things.”

He walked slowly to Yuehui and helped her up with his own hands: "Your father and I are sworn brothers, so just call me Uncle."

Moonlight: ...

"Yes, uncle."

(No wonder the father wanted to be a double agent)

(The capricious Demon Emperor)
