Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (93)

Time and time again, her petite body clashed with the giant lightning. Every demon and mortal present held their breath and did not dare to blink, for fear that budging an inch would affect her. They were even more afraid that a single misstep would lead to them never seeing her again.

Fortunately, Chu Xiang never disappointed anyone. Nine giant lightning strikes passed, and the thunder tribulation was over. All the gloomy clouds dispersed, the sky cleared up, and the sound of a hundred birds singing in unison came from the distance, signaling that Chu Xiang had smoothly passed the tribulation.

Chu Xiang turned around with her hands behind her back and looked at the crowd of demons and mortals. Her eyes were sparkling brilliantly because of the undissipated spiritual power. With just a gentle smile, she made the people feel the spring breeze, soothed physically and mentally.

Some people murmured unconsciously, “How could she be a demon? She is obviously a deity who has descended to earth…”

Chu Xiang certainly did not become an immortal, but her cultivation was already enough to dominate the demon realm. The demons felt the pressure from her and were won over by her benevolence and strength. They could not help but kneel down and bow to her on the ground.

Bai Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted in a loud and clear voice, “Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!”

Her cry prompted all the demons who immediately shouted in unison, “Greetings to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!!!”

People have Emperors, and so did demons.

The demon realm has been scattered for a long time, but under the impact of this day’s unity of will and the golden light of virtue, all the demons willingly recognized Chu Xiang as their Emperor.

It was a surging impulse from the heart and a willingness to pledge allegiance.

They couldn’t find anything to pick on Chu Xiang, plus each of them was inferior in terms of their individual expertise, so they were all willing to bow down to her. They were willing to let her unify the demon realm and formulate a new order for the realm!

The demons’ move emotionally stirred up the mortals. It was as if they had witnessed the birth of a demon emperor, and at the same time rocked them, seeing hope in becoming an immortal in the future. This inexplicable sense of involvement gave each of them an indescribably strong sense of identification with Chu Xiang, as well as affection towards the demons.

Chu Xiang mainly came to control the flood at first and thought of renewing people’s views on demons while at it. Against all expectations, her unexpected harvest was even greater. She directly unified the demon realm and was recognized by the people.

Unexpected surprises were always pleasing. Chu Xiang laughed and her beautiful face dazzled everyone’s eyes yet again.

She slowly descended to the ground and told all the demons to rest for a while to recover their spiritual power before continuing to do follow-up matters. Now that her dictates were more authoritative, all those who received orders carried them out. Their attitude also became more respectful and orderly.

No one called her “Sister Chu” anymore, and every demon called her “Emperor Chu”. The common people no longer called her “Celestial Maiden”, but unswervingly called her “Emperor Chu” along with the demons.

Chu Xiang called Bai Yi and Bai You back to the manor, and when they were left alone, she smiled and touched the tip of Bai Yi’s nose. “You clever ghost. You are quite good at seizing the opportunity.”

Bai Yi tilted her head triumphantly. “Of course, my sister has done so many things. How can you not gain some benefits?” She excitedly took Chu Xiang’s arm. “Sister! You have really become the Demon Emperor! Our Fox Clan can really hold our heads high. We actually produced a Demon Emperor who unified the demon realm! I’m over the moon!”

Bai You looked at Bai Yi, and then smiled. “It seems that since I know you, I haven’t seen you smile so heartily.”

Bai Yi suddenly blushed when she met his gaze, and said a little embarrassedly, “What about it?! Don’t you call me Senior every day? Then of course I can’t smile casually in front of my juniors.”

Chu Xiang looked at them meaningfully. Something must be going on between the two. It seemed that after eating and living together in the disaster area for several months, they unknowingly cultivated a very good relationship.

Chu Xiang assisted politely, “Bai You has received quite an abundance of merit. He has benefited a lot from bathing in the golden light of virtue this time, and his cultivation level is already higher than yours. You will no longer be his senior in the future, so just listen to him obediently.

Bai You smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Emperor Chu, I will definitely take good care of Yiyi.”

“Hmph, who wants you to take care of me? Sister, let’s go back to the room to rest, ignore him.” Bai Yi hurriedly dragged Chu Xiang away, but her red ears betrayed her. She was obviously too shy to stay in the same space with Bai You.

Chu Xiang trusted Bai You’s character, and she wasn’t the least bit worried. Rather, she was happy to see his success. Besides, seeing Bai Yi get over the pain of her previous relationship, she was also happy for her. Other matters were not so important.

Thwarting a natural disaster was a physically and mentally exhausting job. Even if they were all compensated by the golden light of virtue, they still wanted to take a proper mental break. The people who were rescued then showed what “hospitality” meant, as the officials provided Chu Xiang the most comfortable environment. The citizens also welcomed the demons in their own homes to rest.

It turned out that peaceful coexistence was not difficult. As long as they opened their hearts and accepted each other, mortals and demons could get along well and engage in a friendly conversation.

After Chu Xiang finished her work in the area, she handed over the follow-up reconstruction work to the local officials. The officials should also receive merits. They were all under Li Yufeng, and Chu Xiang wouldn’t let the demons steal their merits. After all, the demons didn’t need to be promoted.
