This sound seemed to be the perfect accompaniment for the woman in red, making her movements as she cleaned the old lich's bones resemble a musician conducting a performance—rhythmic and enjoyable.
This scene, which looked incredibly strange yet felt somewhat heartwarming, required a great deal of effort from both Emerald and Ji Xinyu to hold back their laughter.
"Pfft!"
But while adults could hold back their laughter, children couldn't. The baby in Emery's arms not only laughed out loud but even clapped, showing no fear whatsoever.
As a result, Amelie and Ji Xinyu were both exposed and captured, and then they were scolded by the enraged old lich and the red-clothed man.
Ji Xinyu was alright; she only received a scolding because she was feeling unwell. However, Amelie, the culprit, was given a good spanking by the old lich with her magical hand, something that hadn't happened in a long time.
After a lot of commotion, the group finally got down to business. Emery and Ji Xinyu took turns explaining the origins of the child.
The old lich and the woman in red exchanged bewildered glances. Both of them had lived for over a thousand years and had witnessed many strange ways of reproduction in this world, but this was the first time they had ever heard of a pregnancy like Ji Xinyu's.
What does it mean to be forced into pregnancy by the enemy's divine magic, to become pregnant with the child of an enemy god, and then for the child to be overwritten by Emerald's divine power, becoming the bloodline of both of them?
Are young people these days so good at having fun?
Regardless of the circumstances, this child is undoubtedly the child of Emerald and Ji Xinyu. She has the signature pink hair of the Melson family, inherited Emerald's innate soul body, has black eyes like Ji Xinyu, and is protected by the national fortune of the Tianyun Empire.
The old lich and the woman in red both liked the child very much, especially the woman in red. Without Amelie and Ji Xinyu even having to ask, she offered to help take care of the child... This child, who possessed a natural soul body and had not yet begun cultivation, was the best successor to her Netherworld Soul Technique.
The two disdainful mothers readily agreed, and even took the opportunity to have the old lich and the red-clothed woman name the child.
After a brief discussion, the old lich and the woman in red decided on the child's name.
Ji Feiming, also known as Feiming Melson, is a noblewoman of the imperial family in the Eastern Continent and the young lady of the Melson family in the Western Continent.
"Oh, by the way, the Elf Queen also told me some important news this time."
After discussing the children, the four chatted for a few more minutes before Emery suddenly became serious and started talking about business:
"The Dao Ancestor... should be making a big move soon, sometime this year."
Then, aside from omitting the fact that she herself was a transmigrator, Amelie revealed everything about the Dao Ancestor's ability to merge with the Dao to the old lich, the woman in red, and Ji Xinyu:
"That's how it is... If the Dao Ancestor really succeeds in merging with the Dao, then none of us will have an easy time in the future, so we must stop her."
"After failing to attain enlightenment multiple times, his mentality collapsed, so is he planning to merge with the Dao this time? As expected... even a figure like the Dao Ancestor couldn't withstand the blow of continuous failures over ten thousand years."
The man in red and the old lich exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat wistful.
As fellow ancient cultivators, they could both understand Dao Ancestor to some extent. The pain of struggling to improve one's strength in the late third stage of cultivation was indeed maddening.
Therefore, most of those old guys who lived for a long time and were very powerful did not die because their lifespan was exhausted or because they encountered a powerful enemy, but because they were trying to break through their own limits and died.
The fact that the red-clad woman and the old lich can still maintain a good mindset is not only because they have been helping each other adjust, but also because of the sword strike from the Dao Ancestor a thousand years ago.
Although that sword strike erased the physical bodies of the woman in red and the old lich, turning the two stunning beauties into ghosts and skeletons, it also changed their mindset, making their values strange and their mental resilience much stronger.
Ji Xinyu was more concerned about another aspect of this news:
"Senior Sister, what did you say? The Dao Ancestor wants to merge with the Dao and become the Heavenly Dao of this world? Doesn't that mean the whole world will become like the Empire's territory? No, no, this absolutely cannot happen! I'll be bored to death if that happens! Stop her! We must stop her!"
"We definitely need to stop it, but..."
The old lich's voice was not very optimistic:
"Even with the help of Red Robe and Little Rain, the Elf Queen, and Little Ellie who has now completely surpassed my strength, it would still be difficult to stop the Dao Ancestor. After all, the Dao Ancestor is not alone; there are many people in the Immortal Sect who are willing to die for her."
"Yes."
The woman in red nodded as well.
"Putting everything else aside, the Dao Ancestor's first disciple, who is also the current senior sister of the Immortal Sect, is a very troublesome person. I once confronted her from afar..."
The woman in red paused slightly, carefully examined Emerald for a moment, and then continued in a somewhat uncertain tone:
“I don’t know who is stronger, her or the current Ellie, but she is definitely stronger than me. My intuition at the time told me that if she were to get serious, I would most likely die. So after a brief standoff, I took the initiative to leave. Fortunately, she did not chase after me.”
"That one is indeed very strong. I have heard many legends about her in the royal family and the immortal sects."
Ji Xinyu then added:
“There is an unconfirmed rumor, but I don’t think it’s unfounded—that the first disciple of the Dao Ancestor once sparred with the divine tree of Shangying Kingdom hundreds of years ago, and she won by half a move.”
"Not only that, besides the Dao Ancestor's first disciple, the Immortal Sect also has many Pavilion Masters and Tower Masters, dozens of Immortal Sect Elders, and countless experts... Senior Sister, you may not be happy to hear what I'm saying, but the fact is that even though the Tianyun Empire has stagnated for thousands of years, it is still the strongest country, which your Allen Federation cannot compare to."
"If it weren't for the rules set by the Dao Ancestor, and the Empire really went to war with the Federation, you, Senior Sister, would most likely have become a prisoner and been offered to the Emperor to enter the harem."
"...I am naturally aware of the Empire's foundation and the power of the Immortal Sect."
Amelie took a deep breath and was not annoyed by Ji Xinyu's words.
Ji Xinyu underestimated the strength of the Allen Federation. It was indeed impressive, but the sheer number of powerful figures from the Immortal Sect was something that could not be matched by magical technology for the time being.
Because even if you add up all the third-stage powerhouses from the Allen Federation, the Elf Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Shangying Kingdom, they might not have as many third-stage powerhouses as the Immortal Sect.
"Therefore, we are not the only ones who want to stop the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao. I will find a way to unite all the countries in the world."
Emery looked at Ji Xinyu and the others one by one, and said seriously:
"I can make decisions on the Allen Federation and the Elf race on my own now. The Elf Queen has also reached an agreement with me and will lend a hand when the time comes."
“The prince of Shangying Kingdom is my uncle, and I have a good relationship with the Divine Tree as well. It shouldn’t be a problem to persuade the Heavenly Shrine to join the alliance.”
"As for the sea creatures... the commander of the merfolk army is a good friend of mine, and the first warrior of the merfolk has also made a deal with me. With their help in making connections, it shouldn't be too difficult to persuade these two races to join us."
"Our Allen Federation alone might not be a match for the Immortal Sect, but what if we add the powerful figures from the Elf Clan, Shangying Kingdom, and the Sea Clan? Moreover, neither the Immortal Sect nor the Tianyun Empire is a monolithic entity internally, right? Junior Sister? Aunt in Red?"
"..."
The woman in red met the old lich's gaze again, while Ji Xinyu's eyes gleamed.
"This is something we can do!"
After a moment, Ji Xinyu was the first to speak:
"Although there are many powerful figures within the Immortal Sect, they are not a monolithic entity. Many have long been dissatisfied with the current situation. As long as we can give them hope that the Dao Ancestor can be stopped, they may still not dare to join us in stopping the Dao Ancestor, but they will most likely remain neutral. At the very least, they can go easy on us when we are hostile, thus reducing the difficulty of the battle."
"Then let's do it... Actually, we don't have a choice."
The woman in red then shrugged and said frankly:
“Xinyu and Xiao Aili, at least you both have a righteous identity, unlike us two old devils who have done all sorts of bad things. Even if the Dao Ancestor really succeeds in merging with the Dao, he may still survive.”
“But the two of us are different. We did a lot of bad things when we were young. We were the kind of demons in the true sense of the word, the villains in legendary stories... If the Dao Ancestor really succeeds in merging with the Dao, we will probably be struck by the Divine Firmament True Thunder every day until our souls are scattered.”
"But none of us want to die, so doesn't that mean we have no choice but to resist?"
"That's right."
The old lich finally spoke up, looking earnestly at Amelie:
"Since you've already figured out how to form a multinational coalition, you must already have a plan, right? Tell me about it?"
"Okay, Mother-in-law."
Emery nodded obediently and smiled:
"My current plan is roughly like this..."
Combining the development of the original game's main storyline with the actual situation in this world, Emerald recounted her battle plan, which she had revised many times.
. . . . .
After leaving the child on Pirate Island to be cared for by the two old devils, Emerald and Ji Xinyu returned to the Elf Capital and moved directly into the Scarlet Moon Family's mansion, which is now Emerald's private property, as the Scarlet Moon Family has become her personal maid corps.
At this time, the new version of the friendship agreement between the Allen Federation and the Elf Kingdom had been officially signed, and Grand Commander Gaif returned to the Federation aboard the last magic warship left there.
Humans and elves quickly recovered from the effects of the war and began new lives.
During her visit to the Elven capital, Amelie only met with Sylvie privately to exchange greetings and did not make a big fuss.
After that, Amelite stayed in the Scarlet Moon family compound, engaging in dual cultivation with Ji Xinyu, helping Ji Xinyu recover the spiritual power and vitality she had lost, while also further enhancing Amelite herself.
This dual cultivation lasted for another half month before Ji Xinyu was basically recovered.
The day after the dual cultivation ended, Ji Xinyu took her leave and returned to the Eastern Kingdom.
As the Princess of Dongge, Ji Xinyu could leave the Tianyun Empire, but leaving for too long at once would cause controversy. Moreover, she needed to prepare as soon as possible to stop the Dao Ancestor's plan to merge with the Dao.
After Ji Xinyu left, Amelie didn't stay in the Elf Kingdom for long either. She only left a few of the more obedient Princess Scarlet Moon to manage the Scarlet Moon family's property in the Elf Kingdom. The rest of the red-haired elves, including Theresa Scarlet Moon, went back to the Allen Federation with her.
"Young Miss, welcome home~~"
Marcy was already waiting at Emerald's residence. Upon meeting her, she first greeted Emerald, then lunged at the figure beside Emerald:
"mom!"
"...It's been a long time, Sisi."
Theresa Scarlet Moon looked at Marcy with a complicated expression, but finally opened her arms and gave Marcy a gentle hug.
Hehe~~
After releasing her mother, Marcy circled Theresa Hime once, smiling broadly as she looked at Theresa Hime in her maid outfit.
"Mom, you really have become the young lady's maid... That's wonderful! Now we can live together again. This is a happy scene I've dreamed of countless times... I never thought the young lady would actually defeat the elves and bring you back, Mom! That's amazing!"
"...Then Mom, thank you so much for being such a good daughter!"
Theresa Scarlet Moon's lips twitched; that was all she could say.
She was indeed bound to be loyal to Emeryte under the effects of the divine magic seal, but her memories and sense of self had not disappeared, making her feelings quite complex.
“I didn’t just bring you a mother, Sisi; I also brought you dozens of little sisters.”
Emerald chuckled softly and recounted her plan to form the Crimson Moon Maid Corps to Marcy:
"That's it. I plan to entrust your mother and sisters to you to manage. Are you confident?"
"Have!"
Marcy seemed very enthusiastic and energetic:
"Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely train my mother and sisters to be qualified maids!"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Sisi."
After finishing her sentence, Emery was about to go about her other business when Marcy grabbed her sleeve.
"Young Miss, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong, Sisi?"
Emerald reached out and pulled Marcy into her arms, ignoring Theresa Scarlet Moon watching nearby, and began to flirt with Marcy:
"Are you lonely because you haven't seen me for so long? Don't worry, I'll take care of some things. When I get home tonight, I'll make sure you serve me well... No matter how many maids I have in the future, my personal maid will only be you, Sisi."
"...It's not just about that, Miss."
Marcy nestled happily in Emerald's arms, her face alluring, but she was speaking of serious business:
“I just wanted to tell you that now that Mom and your sisters have come here, your little villa is no longer big enough... But it's not really appropriate for Mom and your sisters to live in the staff dormitory, so why don't you just move to a bigger place?”
"That's right, Sisi, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this."
Emery nodded, then kissed Marcy lightly before smiling and saying:
"I'm quite famous now, so a small courtyard of just over 1000 square meters really doesn't suit my status... Well, in that case, I'll leave the matter of my new residence to you, Qianqian. You can call upon whatever you need to design and build a residence that matches my status."
"Yes, Miss!"
Marcy readily accepted the order.
Amelie then went to find Julia, but after scanning with her magical senses, she discovered that Julia was not currently serving as a hero in Locke City.
Where could she have gone?
After a few seconds of thought, Amelie thought of a place.
She left Theresa Scarlet Moon and her daughter Marcy to catch up, and went alone to the underground facility located at the Blue Star Film and Television headquarters, which was also where the Lily of the Valley's original body was located.
Sure enough, Yulia came here to train again.
Ever since Emery was frightened by Rei and drowned her sorrows in alcohol, Julia has frequently come here to train and improve her resistance to rule-based attacks.
As the chosen hero, Yulia's combat talent is truly like having a cheat code; any attack that cannot completely kill her will only make her stronger.
When Amelie arrived, Julia had just entered the virtual world, where she was to challenge Suzuran, the creator of the world.
In the virtual world, the mountains and rivers are still there, and on the mountaintop stands the woman whose face is obscured but who holds a sword in one hand.
"Hey!"
Yulia leaped into the air for the umpteenth time, throwing punches to challenge the ethereal woman atop the mountain.
