At this moment, however, there was an extremely strange and subtle atmosphere.
Inside the main hall, the air was filled with spiritual energy and the fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air.
Shi Hao leaned leisurely against the soft animal-skin chair, toying with an exquisite white jade teacup in his hand, a faint, mischievous smile playing on his lips.
Not far in front of him stood a peerless fairy, dressed in white, with a pure and aloof demeanor.
On her flawless face, the humiliation and indignation of being forcibly "invited" here and even forced to serve tea to Shi Hao still lingered, like a plum blossom covered in frost, carrying a kind of stubbornness and coldness that made one's heart tremble.
It was the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, Yuechan Fairy, who was suppressed by Shi Hao with thunderous means, had her magic power imprisoned, and was reduced to a nominal "maid".
At this moment, although she was powerless to do as she pleased, the pride and purity that came from her very bones had not completely disappeared.
She looked at the young emperor who had manipulated her and humiliated her, and deep within his clear, autumn-water-like eyes, there still shone an unyielding spirit and a complex, inquisitive gaze.
She simply couldn't understand how this boy, who looked no more than a teenager, could possess such extraordinary strength and unfathomable hidden power.
Just how many secrets is this guy hiding?
And... a witch!
The Moon Fairy glanced subtly at the black-clad witch beside her, who was smiling sweetly and gracefully peeling spiritual fruit for Shi Hao, seemingly having an extremely close relationship with him. Alarm bells rang in her heart!
That vixen is definitely up to no good!
Her "enthusiastic" help to suppress Shi Hao was probably not just for the sake of watching the show or for revenge!
She must also be after something from Shi Hao!
No! We absolutely cannot let this vixen succeed!
I absolutely cannot allow myself to become this scoundrel's maid!
Thinking of this, Fairy Yuechan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shame and humiliation in her heart, and her clear and cold eyes regained their usual calm and wisdom.
She looked at Shi Hao and spoke slowly, her voice like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, clear and melodious, yet carrying a hint of solemnity:
"Shi Hao," she called him by his given name.
"Although you are now the Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, and your combat power is astonishing, having even slain Venerables," Yuechan said calmly as she looked at him, "you should know that this is only the beginning."
"Oh?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow, put down his teacup, and looked at her with interest. "What do you mean by that, Fairy Sister? Could it be... that you think my position as 'Human Emperor' is unstable? Or do you think those guys outside who I've beaten up would still dare to cause trouble?"
His tone was somewhat nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the external threats at all.
Yuechan frowned slightly as she looked at his arrogant and ignorant attitude. She sighed inwardly, but still patiently explained, "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, and don't underestimate the terror of this calamity!"
Her voice turned serious: "Do you know what kind of beings those giants whose projections or clones were killed in the Upper Realm before? Each of them was a truly supreme being standing at the peak of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces! With a stomp of their foot, they could shatter countless stars! With a breath, they could destroy a great sect!"
"They may be unable to descend to the mortal realm in their true forms due to the limitations of the boundary wall. But their methods are beyond your imagination! Having suffered such a great loss in the mortal realm this time, even having their inherited magical artifacts stolen or destroyed, how could they possibly let it go?!" Yuechan's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "I dare say that before long, they will definitely try every means to descend again! Or send even more powerful disciples to the mortal realm! At that time, what you will face will be a true catastrophe!"
She tried to use the threat from the upper realm giants to make Shi Hao realize the danger.
"Moreover..." Yuechan's tone shifted, her gaze sweeping across the seemingly peaceful imperial capital outside the window, her voice growing heavier, "The Great Calamity of the Desolate Domain is not merely a matter of intervention from the giants of the Upper Realm! According to the ancient records of our sect, every great calamity signifies the collapse and reshaping of the order of heaven and earth! At that time, not only will powerful enemies from beyond the domain invade, but countless forbidden beings that have been dormant for countless ages will also awaken within these eight domains themselves!"
"The existence of those novel resource groups may be the remnants of ancient beings, or the undying obsession left over from a certain era, or even... something even more ancient and indescribable horror!"
"Their power is equally unfathomable! Once they emerge, they will unleash boundless carnage! The entire Lower Realm will be transformed into a blood-soaked inferno!"
"Shi Hao!" Fairy Yuechan looked at Shi Hao, her eyes becoming extremely serious and sincere. "I know you are exceptionally talented and possess incredible combat power! But in the face of such a calamity, your strength alone is ultimately... far too insignificant!"
"Take my advice: stop making enemies with those powerful sects from beyond the realms! Return to the Heaven-Mending Sect with me immediately! Our sect is descended from the ancient immortals, possessing profound foundations and a complete protective array, along with numerous methods to conceal ourselves from the world! If you are willing to join, I guarantee with my life that I will protect you during the great calamity! I might even... take you to the upper realm! In the future, you might have a chance to break free from your shackles and truly step into the legendary realm of immortality!"
She extended the invitation again! And this time, her words were sincere, as if she truly cared about Shi Hao's future!
Shi Hao listened quietly to Yuechan's analysis and "advice," but his face remained expressionless. However, a subtle hint of mockery flashed deep within his calm eyes.
This Moon Fairy is still not giving up.
Under the guise of advice, he was actually trying to win him over to the Patching Heaven Sect's camp.
However, the information she provided about the great calamity was not entirely unfounded.
only……
Fear? Retreat? Seek refuge?
That was never Shi Hao's style!
"Are you finished?" Shi Hao picked up his teacup, took another sip, and asked in a calm tone.
"Hmm?" Yuechan frowned again, looking at his unyielding attitude. "You..."
"Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn to talk." Shi Hao put down his teacup, looked at Yuechan, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "Fairy sister, after you've talked so much about the horrors of the Great Calamity and the power of the giants in the Upper Realm, you're just trying to tell me that I'm in danger and need to find a backer, right?"
Yuechan did not deny it, but simply looked at him calmly.
"What a pity..." Shi Hao shook his head, his tone somewhat mocking, "You've said so much, but it seems you've forgotten the most important thing."
"What is it?" Yuechan asked instinctively.
Shi Hao pointed at Yuechan, then at himself, and grinned:
"That is... you are now my maid!"
"Do you think there's any credibility to what a maid who can't even guarantee her own safety says?"
"You!" Upon hearing this, Yuechan's pretty face instantly turned red, and her delicate body trembled with anger!
That bastard! He actually... he actually used this to humiliate me?!
"Shi Hao! Don't go too far!" she hissed through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with anger and humiliation!
"Excessive?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow. "Compared to your Patching Heaven Sect's repeated attempts to win me over, even going so far as to set traps, what is this?"
"I was just reminding you, Fairy Sister..." Shi Hao's smile gradually faded, replaced by a cold indifference, "Instead of worrying about my safety here, you should... worry about yourself first!"
"Look at you now, your magic is sealed, you're a prisoner, you don't even have the most basic freedom! What right do you have to talk to me about some great calamity? What future?"
“You…” Yuechan was stung by Shi Hao’s merciless words, and her pretty face turned deathly pale instantly!
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself... speechless!
Yes... I'm nothing more than a prisoner now, a maid who can't even control her own destiny!
What right do I have to advise others? What right do I have to talk about the future?
A profound sense of powerlessness and humiliation instantly overwhelmed her...
"Giggle..."
Just when the atmosphere was at its most oppressive, the witch who had been watching the show from the sidelines burst into laughter again, breaking the silence.
She walked gracefully to Yuechan's side, extended her slender hand, and gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder, softly comforting her in a tone full of schadenfreude:
"Oh dear~ Sister Yuechan, don't be too sad."
“What the little brother said… was a bit harsh, but it doesn’t seem to be wrong.”
"Look at you now, you really are... quite pitiful."
As the witch spoke, she deliberately looked Yuechan up and down, her shapely figure now appearing somewhat disheveled, and clicked her tongue in amazement: "But, sister, your figure is getting better and better. Even as a maid, you'd be the prettiest, the most... well, 'well-endowed' maid!"
"You...!" Hearing the witch's undisguised mockery and teasing, Yuechan trembled with rage, wishing she could fight her to the death right then and there!
The witch (aceb), however, seemed oblivious to the murderous glare in her eyes. Instead, she laughed even more heartily, leaning close to Yuechan's ear and whispering in an extremely suggestive tone:
"Sister, in my opinion, you should just... accept your fate."
"Look at our little brother, so young and promising, with incredible strength, handsome looks, and he's the emperor of a nation! So many women would kill to get into his bed!"
"Even though you're just a maid now, being in a position of power gives you an advantage. Maybe..."
The witch paused deliberately, then said with a teasing tone and a grin:
"In a little while, you'll be able to use your child to your advantage and give birth to a big, healthy baby boy for our little brother!"
"Then, you'll be a real 'Empress'! Hehehe..."
To give birth to... a big, healthy baby boy?!
boom! ! !
The witch's last words, like a thunderclap, completely shattered the last psychological defense of Fairy Yuechan!
She felt everything go black before her eyes, and her mind went completely blank!
An unprecedented sense of fear and shame overwhelmed her instantly!
who is she? !
She is the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect! She is a noblewoman from the Upper Realm! She is a fairy destined to pursue the supreme Dao and transcend the mortal world!
How could it be... how could it be possible to have a child with a boy from the lower realm?!
This was even more terrifying and unacceptable to her than killing her!
"No...impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yuechan's pretty face turned deathly pale, as if she had lost her soul. She shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling with tears, "I...I wouldn't...I would never..."
Seeing Yuechan's pitiful appearance, pale with fright and on the verge of collapse, the witch's smile grew even more smug.
Shi Hao, seeing this scene before him, felt both amused and exasperated.
That witch... she's so wicked!
They deliberately poke at people's sore spots!
but……
Seeing Yuechan's terrified and pitiful appearance, Shi Hao's mischievous side resurfaced.
He cleared his throat, walked to the witch's side, and put on an extremely "kind" smile, saying to her:
"Witch sister, look what you've done to our fairy!"
“However…” Shi Hao changed the subject, his gaze fixed intently on the witch, his tone becoming somewhat playful, “I think what you said just now makes a lot of sense!”
"Hmm?" The witch was slightly taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Shi Hao chuckled, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the witch's slender waist, pulling her into his arms as well!
"Ah!" Caught off guard, the witch cried out in surprise and instinctively tried to break free!
But Shi Hao's strength was immense; how could she easily break free?
"Since you, sister, enjoy 'joining in the fun' and 'stirring things up' so much..." Shi Hao looked down at the equally flustered enchantress in his arms, breathing warm air into her ear, and said in a tone full of domineering and teasing:
"Then why don't you... stay too?"
