Chapter 110, Dreaming
Di Jun waved his hand, much like time flowing in reverse, all fragments flew up and gathered toward their respective places. In the blink of an eye, everything was restored to its original state; tables and chairs settled back, and on top of the tables were neatly placed tea cups, still emitting steam from the tea within.
Di Jun’s hoarse and sorrowful voice was heard: "Please come in!"
The palace doors creaked open, and Fu Xi walked in from outside, bowing and saying, "I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Queen!"
Di Jun quickly stepped forward, held Fu Xi by the arms to lift him up, and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, I’ve said before, we are of the same generation and should address each other as equals. There’s no need for such formalities."
Fu Xi stood up following the motion, and said solemnly, "Since I have joined the Demon Court, proper hierarchy must be respected."
"We can interact as equals in private," Di Jun forced a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you come for a specific matter?"
Fu Xi advised, "The Demon Queen has fallen, please restrain your grief, Your Majesties! The Demon Court still needs both of you to take charge."
Di Jun sighed deeply, clenched his fists, eyes reddening with sorrow, and said, "I have known Xi He for dozens of epochs, became Daoist couple with her, she bore me ten children, and I unified the Demon Clan for her, ruling over all under heaven.
Never would I have thought that she and our nine children would consecutively fall to the Witch Clan’s hands, my feud with the Witch Clan is irreconcilable, this blood debt must be repaid with their blood."
Fu Xi quickly said, "Your Majesty, please do not act rashly."
