My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 883: Two Choices

Lou Mu Yan caught the complex look in Jun Luo Chens eyes and sighed inwardly.

No wonder he was dragged down from the position of Devil Lord. With Jun Luo Chens temperament, he was actually only suitable for living a life like idle clouds and wild cranes.

You mean that the Devil Lord knows about the scheme of the Third Holy Maiden and the others? Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Jun Luo Chen, asking.

Judging from the conversation between the Third Holy Maiden and the Crown Prince of the Fox Clan, it was obvious that the Devil Lord didnt participate in this plan.

His cultivation base is unfathomable. Back then, I already suspected that he was already very close to being half a step into an Immortal. Right now, he shouldve taken one step higher, plus hes very cunning, so I dont think he cant see through the plans of the Third Holy Maiden and the others.

Jun Luo Chen paused, then said: On the contrary, the biggest possibility is that hes lurking and wants to play a game of cat chase mouse.

Are you worried about him? Lou Mu Yan asked in a rather certain tone.

Jun Luo Chen originally wanted to refute, but when he saw the look in Lou Mu Yans eyes, he sighed and said: After all, hes the child I raised since childhood.

Are you brothers of the same mother? Lou Mu Yan was actually quite curious about the relationship between Jun Luo Chen and the current Devil Lord.

No, were half-brothers with different mothers.

Jun Luo Chens eyes were a little distance, falling into memories.

Im my Emperor Fathers first and official son, and my mother is the Empress. Hes just the son of a concubine.

His mother wasnt favoured, and he was often bullied in the Devil Palace. Although my Empress Mother died young, but my Emperor Father raised me as the Crown Prince. By accident, I brought him, who had been bullied half to death by another younger brother, back to my own palace.

He has been very well-behaved and obedient since he was a child and he also liked to act like a baby. I liked him very much, so I asked my Emperor Father if I could keep him by my side and put him in the palm of my hand to treat him like a son.

Later, my Emperor Father encountered an accident when he was advancing to the cultivation base of an Immortal. He failed to withstand the Heavenly Thunder and his soul flew to annihilation. I was forced to inherit the position of Devil Lord.

During my reign, there were several brothers who wanted to seize the throne. After I wiped them out one by one, the Devil Realm had been peaceful for a hundred years.

It was a pity that I still misjudged peoples hearts. I never thought that the lamb I raised since childhood was actually a ferocious wolf, able to just turn around and bite me.

Later, I went to explore a secret realm and was trapped for many years. I was seriously injured when I returned to the Devil Realm. Who knew that the Devil Realm had already changed hands at the time. While I was recovering from my wounds, his subordinates sneaked up on me.

There was a bit of sadness on Jun Luo Chens face, When my body completely collapsed, he appeared and showed his true colours. Only then did I find out that he had always thought that I was deliberately raising him to be useless and crippled. Later, I escaped death by using a secret skill to disperse the Soul Tablet.

He was only six years old when he was brought back to his palace. He personally arranged for that child to read and write, cultivate and grow up, and prepared all the necessities of life for him. If he wanted to raise someone to be useless, then why would he rescue him.

To let that child fend for himself, maybe he wouldve died long ago.

Immediately, there was a bit of ridicule in his eyesnot necessarily.

Maybe even if he didnt take him in and raise him himself, with that persons cunning and vicious nature, pretending to be a fool and being obedient, maybe seizing the throne and killing the monarch would still happen.

After so many twists and turns, after so many years, he also figured it out. That person was actually the most suitable for the position of Devil Lord.

You usually doted on him so much that you took care of everything for him? Lou Mu Yan asked after thinking about it.

Mm, I didnt want the child I raised and doted on to have blood on his hands, so I never let him touch the dark side. Who knew that I made a fool of myself thinking it was smart. Jun Luo Chen laughed at himself.

Im guessing that there must be someone around him whos sowing discord in the relationship between you two, making him mistakenly think that you were planning on raising him to be useless, so he secretly cultivated to improve his strength, formed a party for personal gain, then took your place. Lou Mu Yan could imagine that Jun Luo Chens pampering of that kid made him feel rebellious and resistant.

Mm, he has a few intelligent people around him, so they wouldve sowed quite a bit of discord in our relationship. Jun Luo Chen relaxed and smiled faintly: Doesnt matter anymore. If the relationship was truly deep, and he didnt have such thoughts, then how could he have been provoked.

Do you still want to take revenge and seize the throne? Lou Mu Yan found that Jun Luo Chen seemed to take many things lightly now.

Jun Luo Chen raised his eyes to look into the distance, and after a while, slowly said: No, taking revenge for wrongs done to me, when does that end? Not to mention that I dont really like being the Devil Lord.

Revenge used to be his belief, and he wanted that child he pampered growing up to regret it.

But ever since he journeyed with Lou Mu Yan and the others, he found that it was very simplistic, very comfortable, and very happy.

Sitting on the position of Devil Lord back then, not only did he have to rack his brains and be troubled all day long, but he also shouldered the important task of revitalising the devil race and being responsible for the billions of citizens of his Devil Realm.

Not only did he have to improve his cultivation base and strength, but he also had to manage many matters. He only felt one word deeply in those yearstired.

In fact, the hatred for that person had faded a lot over time. After all, he raised and pampered the child himself since he was young. If he really was told to kill him, he might not be able to do it.

Forget it. Just treat it as a debt owed to that person in their previous life, and treat him as a stranger after repaying it in this life.

Without that person seizing the position, it wouldve been impossible for him to know Lou Mu Yan and the others, and let him discover that there were still many things to do in this worldso life didnt actually need to be so boring, it could be very colourful too.

You sure can accept it. Lou Mu Yan chuckled and changed the topic: But your temperament really isnt suited for the position of the Devil Lord. Since youve accidentally escaped it, then theres no need to fall into it again because of hatred.

The melancholy in Jun Luo Chens gaze disappeared and he said with a chuckle: Thats the logic.

You sure are kind to even forget such things. Nalan Ge pouted, obviously not agreeing with Jun Luo Chens choice.

Jun Lu Chen said kindly: Its not kindness, Im just tired!

He used to live with hatred all the time, and felt very tired, but now that he saw through it clearly, his state of mind had improved to a higher level, and he lived a much happier and more relaxed life.

Up to you. Nalan Ge didnt understand Jun Luo Chens relationship with that Devil Lords younger brother, so he wouldnt persuade him to take revenge either.

Lou Mu Yan played with Ming Xius fingers that held hers and asked: Ming Xiu, what do you think we should do next?

When Ming Xiu wasnt around, she could only work hard to find a solution, but with him around, she always relied on him out of habit.

And in these matters, Ming Xiu was indeed better at it than her.

We now have two choices. One is to go to the other Demon Kings territories in the Demon Realm to persuade them, but the chances of them trusting us arent very high, after all, were humans; or second, we temporarily leave the Demon Realm and go to the Devil Realm to find the Devil Lord.

Look for the Devil Lord? Why look for him? Nalan Ge asked, puzzled.

If the devils and the demons jointly want to capture the entire continent, then we have to destroy their plans and paralyse at least one of them. Chaos among the devils is the best choice. Ming Xiu said with a smile.

He wouldnt allow the demons and the devils to collude and start a war. Before those ambitious people begin a war, they must nip the danger in the bud.
