Chapter 381 - 336: Three Demons Meet Xuanyuan
Below the tower suddenly came the anxious cries of King Zhou: "My consort~ My consort~ Where are you?"
Clad in the dragon robe, he stumbled and clambered up the tower, with not a single eunuch by his side. The eunuchs within the Imperial Palace had all fled in panic, unable to find peace day or night.
The three demons at Xuanyuan’s Tomb looked down, just as King Zhou looked up, and he cheerfully called out: "My consort, why are you up so high? It’s dangerous, come down quickly."
The ethereal voice of Daji reached out: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your deep affection, but I am not Daji. Prime Minister Bi Gan was right; indeed, we are all demon spirits."
As her voice fell, Daji’s body feebly fell backwards, and a fox demon stood in the distance, with three thousand strands of white hair draping her shoulders, fox ears atop her head, and abundant fox tails behind her. A vermilion mark graced her forehead, brimming with alluring beauty.
Next to her, the Pipa Spirit glittered and revealed her true form—a stunning woman, with emerald-green strands of hair cascading down, which made a melodious pipa sound as they swayed in the breeze.
The Chicken Spirit also revealed her true form, dressed in a brightly colored long dress, with a few chicken feathers in her hair.
King Zhou paused in his tracks, looked up at the white fox demon, the Pipa Spirit, and the Chicken Spirit, and suddenly laughed unreservedly, exclaiming: "As long as I am fond of you, what does being a demon matter? I am the Human King, with countless civil and military officials and Immortal Gods at my beck and call. How could I not know of your Demon Clan identity? Daji, I truly like you..."
He paused mid-sentence, turned his head to the true forms of the Pipa Spirit and the Chicken Spirit, and called out tenderly: "...You, both of you. I truly do like you. When Prime Minister Bi Gan said you were evil spirits, I had him killed; when Jiang Huanchu cursed you, I had him chopped to pieces. In my world, whether you are immortals, gods, or demons, you are all my beloved consorts."
Daji said coldly: "But we have never liked you. Sisters, let’s go!" The three demons mounted an auspicious cloud and departed in the direction of Xuanyuan’s Tomb.
King Zhou hurriedly ran up the tower, shouting: "Don’t leave, stay! I command you all to stay." He stumbled and rushed upwards.
