AST 2240 – She’s a Demon Lord, She Had Started Her Revenge

Beihuang Fan didn’t know when she had arrived, but since then, her eyes had focused on Qing Shui and Shen Huang .

Qing Shui wasn’t actually afraid of them meeting each other . After all, unlike his previous life, this world didn’t have a system of monogamy . They also knew that they weren’t the only ones and so he had nothing to hide .

“Fan’er, Young Mistress, let me introduce . ”

As Qing Shui began, he tugged Shen Huang with one hand and Beihuang Fan with the other and walked towards the backyard .

Beihuang Fan standing alongside Shen Huang was a sight to behold . They were both as resplendent as the moon, reflecting their beauty off each other .

The two ladies were equally shocked by each other’s beauty . Beautiful women such as themselves were conceited, but it was the first time in their lives when they thought someone else was better looking .

In all honesty, Qing Shui couldn’t choose who was more beautiful between them . They were both flawlessly beautiful .

“This is the Young Lady of the Taiyi Immortal Palace, Beihuang Fan . She’s Shen Huang of the Phoenix Organization,” Qing Shui gave a simple introduction .

“How do you do? You’re really beautiful,” Beihuang Fan complimented her with a smile .

“Not at all . I was just thinking that your beauty outshines mine,” Shen Huang reciprocated sincerely .

“You felt that way too?” Beihuang Fan asked, mirroring Shen Huang’s tone .

Shen Huang was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile “Who knew that a jerk like him could make you be devoted to him . ”

“I was just about to say that . ” Beihuang Fan thought they got along well .

They cast Qing Shui aside and continued chatting . As though they were suddenly reminded of his presence, they turned around to see him drawing . He drew Beihuang Fan previously, and now he was drawing Shen Huang and a miracle appeared once more .

He drew another Portrait of Beauty .

Qing Shui was dazed and shocked as he watched the painting in front of him . There were twelve portraits previously and now there were fourteen . It was a dazzling sight, with each beautiful enough to cause the downfall of a city .

“These are?” Beihuang Fan was startled .

The two women found themselves among the paintings that Qing Shui drew and concluded that the others must have been his women too .

“My wives, just like you both,” Qing Shui smiled and replied .

With nothing more to say, he kept them . The portraits were barely enough to capture the beauty of those ladies or their traits .

Beihuang Fan had seen Yiye Jiange, Qing Hanye, and a few others . However, there were other women she had never seen before .

After coming out from her seclusion, Qing Shui was shocked by Shen Huang’s abilities . He had never figured out her strength before and never thought that she was much stronger than he was . Now that he found out, he was surprised to know that she was equal both in strength and cultivation to Beihuang Fan .

Beihuang Fan had also just finished her secluded cultivation .

The two ladies were naturally not a match for Qing Shui, but they were still pretty strong .

There was no doubt that they would be on equal footing with those top experts in the powerful clans .

After a trip to the Divine Palace, he was aware that his abilities now wouldn’t have allowed him to defeat Five Tiger Immortal Palace . At the thought of the Five Tiger Immortal Palace, Qing Shui’s mind drifted to Tantai Lingyan . He wondered if she was there now, if her abilities had soared since their last meeting, if she was succumbing to the demon blood .

While Qing Shui was thinking of her, the Demon Lord, Tantai Lingyan was at a secured land, safe from the outside world . She stood between Heaven and Earth .

Her long hair was flowing in the color of blood, with her face as fair and cold as snow . She was just standing there like an ice sculpture . Her body was slender, and her eyes were like a drawing . They were beautiful and calm . However, people could see a cold world inside of them .

If Qing Shui had seen her, he’d be rendered speechless . She was Tantai Lingyan, the woman who had disappeared . She held the Goddess Sword in her hand, the sword which combined all of the Nine Continent’s Coldfrost . Snowflakes decorated its surface .

Old Turtle watched Tantai Lingyang from afar, his eyes filled with a hint of misery . The gigantic body seemed to have aged as he lifted his head to the sky . “In the end, she still ended up in this path . Old Master, I’ve failed you . Young Lady still took this path in the end . ”

The enormous Old Turtle was like an Old Man crawling atop the great Earth .

“Father, Mother . Your daughter will make them pay for the blood debt they had with our Tantai Clan . But… why does it suddenly feel as if your daughter has lost something?”

Tantai Lingyang tilted her head towards the sky; her words were like the cold breeze of winter and calm like the sea .

She seemed to have forgotten about a lot of things these days . There had been a blurry silhouette which would appear at the start, but even that disappeared with time . However, somewhere deep in her soul, the blurry silhouette remained . It felt so familiar, but she just couldn’t put a finger on it .

She was the Demon Lord, the true Demon Lord . She was about to make them pay for the blood debt before returning to the Demon Gate . It belonged to her .

No matter how many times Old Turtle mentioned Qing Shui, Tantai Lingyan couldn’t seem to remember . He reminded her countless times and told her that Qing Shui was an important person .

……

Five Tiger Immortal Palace!

Five Tiger Immortal Palace had been passed down for many generations, with a great Guardian Beast as its protection . It was like a utopia; no matter how chaotic it was out there, it was always peaceful in here thanks to the protection of their Eight-Legged Jiao Tiger .

Hundreds of years ago, the Tantai Clan was the most possible candidate to take over the Demon Gate . The other contender was the Mo Clan . It was said that the Mo Clan’s ancestors were among Demon Gate’s most powerful clans .

The competition to be the Demon Gate’s Palace Lord had had the Mo Clan forming an alliance with the Beiwang Clan of the Five Tiger immortal Palace . Thereafter, they had annihilated almost all of the Tantai Clan . There were only a few who had survived . Old Turtle had saved a drugged Tantai Lingyan back then .

Tantai Lingyan had been drugged by Beiwang Miaoyuan of the Beiwang Clan . He was the Fifth Young Master of the clan and was their prodigy . It wouldn’t be surprising for him to take over the Beiwang Clan, perhaps even the Five Tiger Immortal Palace would be his .

He had always been enamored of Tantai Lingyan’s beauty, but the latter wouldn’t even spare him a glance . He had been rejected without hesitation when he had confessed, and this left Beiwang Miaoyuan raging about his humiliation, bearing the grudge ever since .

There were others who participated in the massacre at that time, such as those in the Green Dragon Continent who were destroyed by Qing Shui .

Tantai Lingyan could remember it as clear as the day when she returned .

There was a celebration at the Five Tiger Immortal Palace today; it was the Beiwang Clan’s Fifth Master, Beiwang Miaoyuan’s wedding . This would be his tenth wife and many others from the Demon Gate had come to attend . None of their allies in the Northern Domain who would risk not attending .

Even if their allies, the Golden Yakshas, had disappeared, there still wasn’t anyone who could rob the Five Tiger Immortal Palace of their position . While their Guardian Beast was around, this was their haven . No one would be able to lift a finger against them .

Hence, the Beiwang Clan sat comfortably at the top . Amidst the exchange of wine and goblets and the bustling excitement, there was a sudden gust of winter breeze .

“Why did it get so cold?” Someone spoke up as they trembled .

“I wonder . No matter how cold it got around here, we’ve never felt it . Strange . Any ordinary human would have been frozen to death . ”

“Odd . How very odd . ”

……

Swish!

Following a flash of light, a crisp sound rang out . The light reflection from a sword sliced down from above .

The two legs of Beiwang Miaoyuan were dismembered just as he was enjoying his wine .

Ah!

A horrified scream broke the bustling atmosphere as dark clouds gathered above .
