How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Nie Hua stared intently at Chen Yu, flying into the City Lord Mansion, disappearing from view.

The enemy who killed his son was right before him, yet he couldn't make a move.

Nie Hua's entire body erupted with an intensely fierce Sword Intent, causing the people around to feel alarmed and retreat swiftly.

Bang!

Nie Hua struck with his palm, landing it on the Black Bone King.

The Black Bone King spurted blood on the spot, his figure flying back hundreds of feet, a huge wound appearing on his chest, blood gushing out.

"It was my failure to protect the young master. Please forgive me, General."

The Black Bone King endured his injuries and anger, bowing respectfully.

With Nie Hua's cultivation and strength, had he gone all out unexpectedly, he might have been dead by now.

Nie Hua closed his eyes slightly, saying nothing.

He also knew that this matter wasn't the Black Bone King's fault.

Even if the Black Bone King had tried his best to protect Nie Yuan, he couldn't have stopped Chen Yu from killing him.

"General, for the Emperor to shelter this child so much, is he not considering you at all?"

"The official representative of the City Lord Mansion is still you."

The Black Bone King whispered telepathically.

Having followed Nie Hua for many years, he knew when to say what.

Nie Hua was in a rage and couldn't be discussed further about Nie Yuan's death.

And Nie Hua's anger mainly stemmed from Chen Yu and the Qingyun Emperor, so these words could ease Nie Hua's fury.

"You're right, he completely disregards this General."

Nie Hua's face was gloomy.

The leading figure of the City Lord Mansion is still him, Nie Hua.

The Qingyun Emperor is merely a prisoner trapped here, without real authority, only responsible for guarding this place.

But in this world, strength is everything; strength grants authority.

If discussing rules and rationale, Nie Hua does not fear the Qingyun Emperor.

But he dare not offend the Emperor of the Xuanming Realm; having a grievance with an Emperor is truly unsettling, just thinking about it is terrifying.

"However, even if this child becomes the leader of the City Lord Mansion, this General can still deal with him."

The leader's position is below the General, even having to take orders from him.

As long as Chen Yu makes any mistakes, he will strike.

"The General is mighty."

The Black Bone King flattered.

He also hated Chen Yu, wishing for his death.

"Return to the mansion."

Nie Hua shouted coldly, carrying Nie Yuan's corpse away.

...

Chen Yu entered the City Lord Mansion with the Qingyun Emperor.

In front of the main gate of the mansion, the ten guards were crawling on the ground under the Emperor's pressure, trembling.

Among them, the sharp-chinned guard glanced upward, seeing Chen Yu, instantly frightened, bowing his head.

He didn't expect that Chen Yu not only had a connection with the Qingyun Emperor but a deep one, surprising him enough that the Qingyun Emperor appeared personally to lead him into the mansion.

On the west side of the City Lord Mansion, there were several steep peaks and cliffs, tranquil and secluded, seemingly isolated from the world.

On the waist of the cliff, there was a hall.

The Qingyun Emperor landed outside the hall, gazing into the distance.

Chen Yu stood behind him, quietly watching the person before him. At this moment, he had no trace of an imposing aura, resembling an ordinary mortal.

"You've finally come."

The Qingyun Emperor sighed.

"You didn't want me to come?"

Chen Yu speculated in his heart that the Emperor of Xuanming Realm's means were unpredictable, perhaps noticing when he arrived at the Chaotic Sea Plain.

The other had been watching Chen Yu all along, which would explain why the Qingyun Emperor knew the cause of Chen Yu killing Nie Yuan.

But the Qingyun Emperor had long sensed Chen Yu yet hadn't appeared proactively; it was only when Chen Yu made a big commotion, even alarming General Nie, that the Qingyun Emperor revealed himself.

"That's right."

The Qingyun Emperor contemplated.

Chen Yu had known this for a long time. The arrangement of the Qingyun Emperor in the Great Yu Realm was hoping Chen Yu would cultivate peacefully, living a stable life.

Suddenly.

The Qingyun Emperor turned around, facing Chen Yu, their gazes meeting.

"Seeing me, are you disappointed?"

The Qingyun Emperor asked proactively.

Previously, although Chen Yu knew about his relationship with the Qingyun Emperor, it was their first meeting, so the emotions weren't that strong.

But now, through the Qingyun Emperor's eyes, Chen Yu felt the concealed emotions: excitement, hope, and a bit of anxiety.

Chen Yu knew what the Qingyun Emperor meant.

From Great Yu Realm to the main world, the news Chen Yu received about the Qingyun Emperor was his collaboration with other races, facing punishment.

The Human Race and other races are great enemies, and the Qingyun Emperor's actions violated a major taboo of the Human Race.

When Chen Yu first discovered this, he felt somewhat disappointed with this biological father.

But as he journeyed on, growing mentally through experiences, his attitude had changed.

Chen Yu knew that the Qingyun Emperor's seemingly casual question could have a significant impact based on his answer.

"Not really."

Chen Yu replied simply, then countered, "Seeing me, are you disappointed?"

The atmosphere immediately shifted.

"Hahaha."

The Qingyun Emperor suddenly laughed, clearly pleased.

"Not really either."

The Qingyun Emperor's expression revealed a touch of pride between his brows, smiling.

Chen Yu was taken aback; he was quite confident in himself, thinking the Qingyun Emperor would be pleasantly surprised and admiring.

However, considering the Qingyun Emperor was an unparalleled prodigy in the Great Yu Realm, standing at the pinnacle, leaving behind legends.

"Hehe."

Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha..."

The laughter echoed.

Outside the forbidden territory.

Nie Hua and the Black Bone King were about to enter Qingyun Emperor's domain to investigate the relationship between Qingyun Emperor and Chen Yu.

Suddenly.

Laughter came from inside.

Qingyun Emperor had guarded this place for decades; Nie Hua heard him laugh so heartily for the first time.

The two immediately stopped, their expressions not looking good.

Being able to chat so pleasantly with Qingyun Emperor proved their relationship was surely not shallow.

…

"What's the deal with the aliens?"

Chen Yu asked. He didn't believe Qingyun Emperor would collude with aliens to harm the Human Race.

"Everything is over. Knowing won't benefit you."

Qingyun Emperor was reluctant to say more.

"What about my biological mother then?"

This you can probably tell me, right?

He had met his biological father but knew nothing about his biological mother.

"She... has passed away."

With slight emotional turbulence, Qingyun Emperor answered Chen Yu's question, yet the answer felt entirely unforthcoming.

Chen Yu realized that talking about his biological mother brought a look of helplessness and sorrow to Qingyun Emperor.

He found himself unwilling to ask further.

Seeing Chen Yu's silence, Qingyun Emperor restored his composure and said, "By the way, do you know you have a fiancée?"

"What?"

Chen Yu exclaimed.

He just held back from pressing further, letting Qingyun Emperor off the hook.

In a blink, the other side gave him a "big surprise."

"Since when?"

Chen Yu instinctively asked.

He couldn't believe he had a fiancée in the main world.

Were it not for Qingyun Emperor saying it himself, he wouldn't believe it.

"Before you were born."

Qingyun Emperor's reply rendered Chen Yu speechless, caught off guard by the idea of a "pre-arranged marriage."

"Judging by your look, it seems you already have someone? But marrying two is normal."

Qingyun Emperor chuckled.

Chen Yu responded with silence.

A marriage arranged before birth, not even having met the woman, unaware of her character, made Chen Yu feel not a hint of liking, but rather some resistance.

Suddenly.

Chen Yu thought of something, asking, "The Lin Family?"

"That's right. If you don't like her, just don't marry her."

Qingyun Emperor admitted, speaking with casual ease.

Chen Yu felt his father spoke so lightly, yet that Lin Family was a renowned Demigod Family among the Human Race.

…

In the central territory of the Human Race, a range of mountains covered with purple vegetation, filled with birdsong and fragrance, was breathtakingly beautiful.

Whoosh!

A purple swan carrying a broad-faced man swiftly flew across, entering the palace halls integrated into the natural scenery.

At a serene water pavilion, a graceful woman sat.

Her flawless jade face and crystal-like eyes were translucent like water. Her jade-like purple hair cascaded onto the ground, floating in the breeze like a celestial beauty descending to the mortal world, captivating all eyes.

"Uncle Chen, how went the result?"

The purple-haired woman calmly asked, her voice as melodious as a trickling spring, touching the heart.

"According to your instructions, Miss, he participated in the quota contest... and he came first."

The broad-faced man "Lin Chen" answered.

"First?"

The purple-haired woman's crystal eyes flashed with a gleam, then disappeared.

Regardless.

She still felt no interest in the man she had never met.

Indeed, marrying him was impossible.

Among the Human Race, her suitors were countless, and she had seen numerous descendants of Emperors, including Demigod offspring who confessed to her.

Thinking about this now, the purple-haired woman couldn't help but find her father too impulsive for arranging a "pre-arranged marriage" before her birth.

Back then, her instruction was for the Lin Family to assist Chen Yu, allowing him to participate in the quota contest, but to discreetly increase difficulty, stopping Chen Yu from obtaining quotas.

If Chen Yu failed, it would prove he was mediocre and incompetent. Then even if Qingyun Emperor inquired, there would be grounds to reject.

But her "fiancé" was seemingly not ordinary.

Rather, it's unsurprising he is Emperor's offspring; even coming from a lower realm, he is still remarkable.

"The day for the Eight Emperor Sects to recruit disciples is approaching. Which did he choose?"

The purple-haired woman continued to ask.

"He... headed to the Chaotic Sea Plain."

Lin Chen reported the information he gathered.

"Chaotic Sea Plain? It seems he went to find his father, yet Qingyun Emperor now isn't the Qingyun Emperor once before. In the end, this boy can only enter the 'Evil Luo Prison' closest to Chaotic Sea Plain."

The purple-haired woman remarked sentimentally.

"Though he didn't select Tianhe Sect, the Lin Family cannot offer protection and care to repay the favor. Still, Evil Luo Prison is far removed from either the Lin Family or Miss's 'Heavenly Martial Sect,' making it difficult to intersect with Miss."

"As time passes, the distance between Miss and him will grow, and in the end, I'm afraid he won't even have the courage to stand before Miss."

Lin Chen laughed.

"He and I are not from the same world. Please keep monitoring Uncle Chen, but don't report to me unless anything significant happens."

The purple-haired woman remained calm throughout, as if dismissing this trivial matter after speaking.

Lin Chen looking at the extraordinarily beautiful woman before him, unexpectedly felt a slight pressure within.

Is this the pride of the Human Race's present age? Even with cultivation lower than his and still a junior, yet making him feel pressured.
