The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Shen Huaichuan did not hide the fact that he was going to retrieve something from the Demon Realm from Di Zhao and the others.

What he wanted to obtain was none other than a magical artifact called the Mirror of Ten Thousand Worlds, which he had casually sealed away during his travels to the Demon Realm thousands of years ago.

Emperor Zhao had lived in the Demon Realm for a hundred years since birth and had never heard of a magical artifact like the Mirror of Ten Thousand Worlds in the Demon Realm.

This is good news, indicating that the Mirror of All Ages has not yet been created.

The four sat atop the demonic bird. The Emperor decreed, "You are now merely a mortal. What do you need the Mirror of Ten Thousand Ages for?"

"Could it be..."

The emperor abruptly stopped speaking. He had originally intended to say, "Could it be that it was brought for Xiao Ci?"

But he immediately realized that no matter who the Myriad Worlds Mirror was meant for, he had been outmaneuvered by Shen Huaichuan!

Shen Huaichuan's destination was the Demon Realm, while Yun Yici, even after consuming the Nascent Soul Fruit, was only at the Nascent Soul stage and would be unable to hold out alone in the Demon Realm.

In order to ensure their safety in the Demon Realm and their successful search for the Mirror of Ten Thousand Worlds, Shen Huaichuan had to take him along.

However, Shen Huaichuan had planned it all out. He deliberately gave him a warning and guided Yun Yici to ignore him and get rid of him.

Then, after they met up, she took the initiative to reveal her identity and show goodwill, which moved him to tears.

The purpose was to make him obedient and not to try to interfere with Yun Yici's teaching, let alone try to force Yun Yici to stay.

The emperor, his mind racing, opened his eyes wide, stood up, and looked at Shen Huaichuan in disbelief.

"Are you plotting against me?!"

Yun Yici and Wan Nian stared blankly at the imperial edict that had suddenly been issued.

Yun Yici stood up and tried to reason with Di Zhao: "Senior Di Zhao, what makes you say that?"

Although Wan Nian was afraid of the imperial edict, he mustered up his courage and tried to speak up for Shen Huaichuan: "Senior Shen is definitely not that kind of person."

Shen Huaichuan, who was being criticized by the imperial edict, did not even frown: "Fellow Daoist Imperial Edict, you are mistaken."

"I didn't plot against you; I was just trying to remind you."

"You are free to do as you please."

According to his wishes, he treated Yun Yici as a weak woman, cleared away all obstacles for her, and kept her under his wing forever.

Following his wishes, he tricked Yun Yici into going to the Demon Palace and then left her in the Demon Realm forever until she obediently accepted his feelings.

Following his wishes, he watched helplessly as he pushed Yun Yici further and further away.

With trembling hands, the emperor raised his hand and pointed at Shen Huaichuan. He, who was usually quick-witted, clearly understood the sarcastic and harsh words from Shen Huaichuan's lifeless and clean eyes.

The shame of being schemed against and the anger of having to act according to Shen Huaichuan's wishes made Di Zhao feel dizzy for a moment.

He stumbled backward, his upright figure swaying.

Seeing that his expression was off, Yun Yici didn't bother to ask what had happened first.

She reached out and grabbed Di Zhao's sleeve to help him sit up, then took out a Qi-nourishing pill from her storage bag and fed it to him.

The pills were a generous gift from Pei Heng; he gave her a large handful of all kinds of pills.

After the Emperor's breathing had stabilized, Yun Yici said, "Now that we are in the Demon Realm, we are companions who depend on each other for life and death. If you have any complaints, sit down and talk about them."

The emperor would rather die than reveal such a shameful thing.

His face darkened, and his captivating eyes turned cold as he plotted how to make Shen Huaichuan suffer a hidden loss.

Shen Huaichuan replied, "He's not acting this way because he's dissatisfied with me. He said he's 120 years old."

"Humans complete a cycle in twelve years, while divine beasts like him complete a cycle in one hundred and twenty years."

"He's probably reached the point where he needs to be reborn."

Yun Yici was shocked, but the next moment she immediately thought of the broken ladder to immortality.

If Shen Huaichuan's cultivation is complete but he cannot ascend, will he be able to ascend to the upper realm after the Emperor's decree of Nirvana?

Furthermore, there is no character named Di Zhao in the story. Where did he go?

The emperor retorted angrily, "I will not attain Nirvana."

Shen Huaichuan smiled without saying a word, and the emperor also quickly calmed down and stopped talking.

Yun Yici and Wan Nian were both baffled as they watched a dispute arise and then quickly disappear without a trace.

The sword spirit of Huaichuan quietly reminded Yun Yici: "Shen Xiu is a bad kid. Be careful not to be sold out by him."

"The emperor must have suffered a loss in secret, that's why he remembered it."

Yun Yici never dreamed that one day the spirit of Huaichuan would remind her to be wary of Shen Huaichuan.

She glanced guiltily at Shen Huaichuan, wondering what would happen if he could hear Huaichuan Sword Spirit's words.

The four fell silent. Fortunately, they soon arrived at the Demon Palace of the Imperial Decree.

Sitting beneath the demon bird and gazing into the distance, one can see a magnificent palace, illuminated by red lanterns, perched atop a towering cliff.

The towering cliffs reach straight into the clouds, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. Outside the palace grows ugly demonic trees, and various terrifying demonic birds flit among the trees.

Worried about leaving a bad impression on Yun Yici, the emperor finally spoke up: "These birds are naturally close to me. If you don't like them, I can drive them away from here."

The reason the emperor had tolerated them before was twofold: firstly, they were convenient to use, and secondly, these demonic birds were actually a protective barrier, serving both as messengers and guards.

Yun Yici said, "As long as they don't hurt anyone, there's nothing to worry about."

While the two were talking, the demonic bird had already begun to descend in circles.

People came out to greet the demon bird as soon as it appeared.

Yun Yici saw that there were four people coming out of the hall, two men and two women.

Yun Yici guessed that these were the human servants taken in by the imperial decree.

After the demon bird landed, the imperial edict was issued first, and then Yun Yici and the other two landed one after another.

Upon landing, the four people waiting on the ground bowed together to the imperial edict.

The leading man said, "Your Majesty, the accommodations for our guests have been prepared."

Yun Yici immediately recognized this as the person among the bone birds who had been talking to her.

Her bone bird remained silent after the imperial edict appeared.

Yun Yici was worried about the safety of those people who had cultivated, so she asked the Emperor about it. The Emperor replied that they had returned safely.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Yun Yici finally felt relieved.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Prepare a banquet first, then we'll talk inside."

As soon as Yun Yici stepped into the palace, she discovered that its structure was different from that of palaces in the human and demon realms.

To be precise, there are no inner or outer halls, or any east or west halls here.

The emperor's luxurious sleeping quarters were the central hub of the entire palace, where he could sleep, bathe, relax, and dine, fulfilling all his needs.

As for anything else, the imperial edict ignored it all.

Therefore, the cultivators who were taken in by the imperial decree were very conscientious and built many small courtyards in the spacious backyard of the imperial decree so that people could live there.

Of course, the residences prepared for them by imperial decree were not these small courtyards, but rather—his own bedroom.

Yun Yici stared at the luxurious dragon-saliva wood bed in the bedroom, which could accommodate twenty people, and cold sweat poured down her face.

What the hell is this luxurious dormitory-style dormitory?

Help! She chose to go down and live with those people.

The emperor was very satisfied with Yun Yici's reaction. He said proudly, "Little Yici, you can sleep here. There's a warm pool next door."
