Chapter 449: Heart Demon

In a narrow and small secret room in the Emerald Mist Pavilion, there were two people sitting opposite each other . One of them was a mysterious person covered in a black magic robe from head to foot . The other was Mist Fairy who was wearing a pale purple gown .

“I have already completed the task according to your wish . However, I don’t get it . Do you have any benefits when Nalan Ruyue ascends the throne?” The voice of the mysterious person was somewhat harsh to the ear . He was clearly dissatisfied .

“You don’t need to know so much . I have my own plans for this matter . You can go and report back to your Pope with everything you know so far . ” Mist Fairy indifferently said .

“Humph . This is the last time . From now on, our Dark Church will not owe you anything . ” The mysterious person suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice . Standing up, he prepared to leave .

“Wait a minute . Lafaer, I will give your Pope a word of advice in passing . Tell him to look after his wife properly and don’t let her do anything which will cause him to regret in the future . ” Mist Fairy faintly said .

Lafaer paused and left the secret room without turning his head .

Behind him, a hint of a smile appeared on Mist Fairy’s face and before long, white light flashed around her body . She disappeared from the secret room .

……………… . .

Both in the army and among the common people, there was a debate going on about Nalan Ruyue . They had lots of opinions regarding the matter of Nalan Ruyue ascending the throne and being the first Empress in the history of the entire Blue Waves Continent . There were some people who supported her and there were others who opposed it .

In the Blue Waves Continent, the social status of men and women were not equal . It was caused by many conservative factions as well as patriarchal-supremacist doctrines . They expressed strong opposition to Nalan Ruyue becoming the Nalan Empire’s supreme ruler . Among them, there was no lack of high-ranking ministers, great nobles and there were also some high-ranking military officers .

In the end, strength decided everything . With the help of Long Yi, Nalan Ruyue quickly controlled the military of the Nalan Empire . Although she had yet to formally ascend the throne, she had already started to exercise her imperial power . She used various means to suppress the ministers and nobles who were hell bent on opposing her . She also released an imperial notice which declared that the empire was in the midst of extreme misery . The beast-men race was invading and the various kingdoms and principalities had revolted . The most important matter right now was the dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion and to drive out the beast-men race . They were going to make all the kingdoms and principalities which revolted pay a bitter price . This was the price they had to pay when they trampled on the Nalan Empire’s prestige . They had to show them that the Nalan Empire’s prestige was sacred and they did not tolerate traitors .

This imperial notice was posted everywhere . Many common people and high ranking military officers reacted to the notice . This was not the time to discuss whether Nalan Ruyue should be the Empress or not . This was the time to save their fellow countrymen from their horrible plight .

When the discussions were going on, Holy Priest Karen from the Light Church appeared . She conveyed the will of the Light God as she expressed that Nalan Ruyue was the person who had received the blessing of the Light God . As the representative of the Light Church, Pope Charles said that he would personally enter Blue Moon City to coronate Nalan Ruyue . He would be the witness to her becoming the first Empress in history .

The moment Holy Priest Karen spoke, the opposition became less intense . This was because the majority of people were believers of the Light God . Since the Light God had appointed Nalan Ruyue as the Empress, they didn’t have any objections .

Currently, the obstacles Nalan Ruyue faced was much smaller and she rarely had to use imperial power to get things done . After her position stabilized, she gave her command to all of the legions in the Nalan Empire . She immediately dispatched them to quell the rebellion happening in the Nalan Empire .

“Big sister, you are amazing! You are actually going to become an emperor . ” Nalan Rumeng excitedly hugged Nalan Ruyue’s arm and said with a smile .

“Do you like being emperor so much? How about big sister make you an emperor?” Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes .

“I can become the emperor? If this makes big sister happy, I’ll be the emperor . Big sister dotes on me so much, how can I oppose big sister?” Nalan Rumeng happily said . It seemed as though she had it all planned out .

“If you become the emperor, you can’t run wild . If I become unable to control you, I’ll call your brother-in-law to put you in your place . ” Nalan Ruyue patted Nalan Rumeng’s cheeks and giggled .

Nalan Rumeng looked at Long Yi who was sitting on the sofa as he sipped on a cup of fruit wine . Her beautiful face flushed red in an instant and she lowered her voice, “Big sister, how about you share brother-in-law with me?”

Nalan Ruyue was startled and she looked at her younger sister with a probing gaze . She realized that her 15 years old sister was already all grown up . If she was a daughter from an ordinary family, she might already have been married off .

“Big sister, is there a problem? If brother-in-law takes me in as well, I can justifiably ask brother-in-law to take me out to play! When I go window-shopping, he can help me carry my stuff . Moreover, he can fight for me if I ever get into trouble . However, the most important thing is that I can hug him to sleep every night . ” When she mentioned the last part of her sentence, Nalan Rumeng looked around like a thief .

“Aren’t you hugging him to sleep every day already?” Nalan Ruyue jokingly pinched Nalan Rumeng’s cheeks . Because of this third wheel, she had not gotten intimate with Long Yi for several days .

“But Xiao Cui said that I can’t sleep with you two! However, if I become brother-in-law’s other half, there won’t be any problems . ” Nalan Rumeng pouted . After going around in circles, this was her main objective .

Nalan Ruyue smiled and said, “If your brother-in-law is okay it, I have no objections . ”

Nalan Rumeng bounced over to Long Yi and seized his wine cup . She blinked her doll-like big eyes and pleaded, “Brother-in-law, do you like Mengmeng?”

“Nope . ” Long Yi kept a straight face as he replied her . He had clearly heard the conversation between these two sisters without missing a single word .

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law……” Nalan Rumeng acted coquettishly and swayed around as she jumped onto Long Yi’s lap .

Once again, Long Yi moaned in his heart . He really wanted to shout out, “Little loli, don’t try to seduce me, I’m very easily seduced!”

All of a sudden, Xiao Cui ran over and said, “Princess, Holy Priest Karen and Violent Dragon Empire’s Saintess Dongfang Kexin is here . They are waiting below . ”

“I will go down immediately . My husband, accompany me . ” Nalan Ruyue said .

Long Yi nodded his head after hesitating a little . Mainly because Dongfang Kexin was also here . However, after thinking about how Nalan Rumen was pestering him restlessly, Long Yi was afraid that the beast in him would be roused if her were to stay alone with her . If that were to happen, Long Yi would feel extremely guilty . Thus, it was comparatively better to accompany Nalan Ruyue .

Nalan Rumeng puffed her cheeks as she stared at Long Yi angrily . She rolled her eyes at Nalan Ruyue and Long Yi as they walked out of the room .

“Ruyue greets Holy Priest Karen . ” Nalan Ruyue performed the etiquette of the Light Church upon seeing Karen . However, she just nodded her head at Dongfang Kexin .

Dongfang Kexin also indifferently nodded her head . Sitting to the side, Dongfang Kexin said nothing . Neither did she look in Long Yi’s direction . She was afraid to look at Long Yi . She was afraid that her heart would fluctuate once again .

It was Holy Priest Karen who gave her some advice . She said that if Dongfang Kexin couldn’t face her fears bravely, her heart demon would never disappear throughout her life . She eventually made the decision to take a trip to the imperial palace .

Long Yi saw Dongfang Kexin’s reaction but he didn’t care . He had a certain feeling towards this cousin of his, but he couldn’t stand her possessive desires . Perhaps, this was the best thing which could happen to him . He wanted to thank the Light Pope for this .

“In a few days, His Majesty the Pope will arrive here in person to coronate you . Up until that point, I request for Saintess to accept the great radiance baptism of the Light God . ” Karen said .

Nalan Ruyue nodded her head . The coronation ceremony was a very cumbersome matter . There were honestly too many rituals… As such, the two of them started to discuss about the matter of the coronation .

When they were talking, Dongfang Kexin shot a quick glance at Long Yi . She only saw that he completely focused on Nalan Ruyue . He didn’t take note of her at all . Unconsciously, an irritated feeling appeared in Dongfang Kexin’s heart .

As for Nalan Ruyue, she would raise her head from time to time . She would turn her head to look at Long Yi who was sitting beside her . When the gazes of the two met, they would smile in tacit agreement . They understood everything without speaking .

When she saw that they were looking at each other like this, the irritated feeling in Dongfang Kexin’s heart became even stronger . Currently, it was accompanied by indistinct pain . The familiar feeling appeared in her heart again . However, she had no idea what she was feeling, that familiar feeling felt extremely foreign to her .

“Heart demon, this is just a heart demon . ” Dongfang Kexin closed her eyes and tried to convince herself in secret . A hint of dimly visible white light flashed in the space between her eyebrows as it suppressed her feelings . In an instant, all her feelings disappeared and her heart became as calm as still water .

When Dongfang Kexin opened her eyes again, although she saw the intimacy of Long Yi and Nalan Ruyue, she no longer felt irritated in her heart . Although there was still some discomfort coming from the depths of her heart, she found it to be negligible .

“Did I succeed?” Dongfang Kexin muttered in her heart . She knew that she should feel happy because she got rid of the heart demon, however, she felt sadness instead .

On the way back, Dongfang Kexin explained her mental state and asked Karen, “Holy Priest Karen, did I truly expel my heart demon?”

“Maybe you did… Congratulations my child . ” Karen stroked Dongfang Kexin’s head pitifully . Her congratulation sounded fake as she knew that the secret magic placed in Dongfang Kexin’s body was displaying its full effect . From now on, all of her feelings would start to disappear . Happiness, anger, grief, joy… All the feeling a normal human would have would start to disappear . Dongfang Kexin might never feel those feelings again .

Karen started to think of Si Bi all of a sudden . She was also a genius magician in the Light Church . She also loved the same man as Dongfang Kexin . However, the two girls were walking on two completely different paths . One selfishly wished to possess and one selflessly wanted to let go . It was because of love that the both of them did that they did . There was no right or wrong in the world of love, as everything was bounded by karma .

…………… . .

In the Yatesianna defense line, Si Bi, Lin Na, Long Ling’er and Ximen Wuhen were staying in the military barracks . It had already been more than 20 days since they arrived . As they didn’t know where Long Yi was, and they didn’t want to be caught in the chaos, the accepted Beitang Yu’s proposal . They stayed in the camp and supplemented the magician troops in the Unparalleled Battalion .

It was here where they truly experienced the cruelty of warfare . This was a place which was hell on earth . Other than massacres, there were only massacres . Human life was inferior to a blade of grass here . On the first day, they vomited out everything in their stomach . However, they became numb before long… They became accustomed to vomiting .
