Chapter 3038: She's Likely Free, Judging by Appearances

"Come, come to your sister."

Qi Huan's voice was still ethereal and captivating, carrying a faint, elusive smile. She stood on the cloud platform, resembling a celestial immortal from the nine heavens, looking down upon the world.

"Why does that sound so creepy!"

"Guard your hearts, don't be bewitched by her laughter."

"The Zhun Huang Di Saint Demon is truly terrifying."

The divine generals in the cauldron chimed in one after another, some looking at Qi Huan, others at Hong Yan. They all felt that this pair of twin sisters had an inexplicably strange atmosphere about them.

Hong Yan lifted her foot, but her lotus-like steps froze stiffly.

Ye Chen reached out and grabbed Hong Yan's jade arm.

As an outsider, he shouldn't interfere when family members reunited, but Hong Yan's expression was now dull, her eyes vacant. In short, she lacked any clear consciousness—her sister had used an illusion technique on her.

If they were truly family, how could she use an illusion to confuse her?

Hong Yan suddenly snapped back to awareness and instinctively stepped back. Though she was facing her sister, her expression showed more fear than anything else. She looked like a frightened little girl. Whether it was the generals, the emperors, or anyone else, this was the first time they had seen Hong Yan like this, leading them to strongly suspect that her relationship with her sister was far from harmonious. From her actions, it was clear she feared her to the bone.

"Why are you so afraid of me, when we share the same roots?"

Qi Huan spoke leisurely, not even glancing at Hong Yan. She gently stroked the little fox in her arms and occasionally pouted to tease it.

Her smile was gentle.

No one could tell if that gentle smile was for the little fox or for Hong Yan, nor could they tell if her gentleness was genuine or just an illusory facade.

But whether it was real or fake, it was enough to terrify Hong Yan, who instinctively stepped back again. Her trembling body hid half behind Ye Chen, not daring to look directly at her sister.

Ye Chen stepped back, shielding Hong Yan behind him.

The state of Da Chu's tenth emperor was not good at all. Blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth, likely from the heavy price he paid to break Qi Huan's illusion. After shattering the illusion, he barely spoke, focusing on restoring his divine power and soothing his hidden injuries. Even though he knew he couldn't win, he had to fight anyway.

"Even at your peak, you're still not enough."

Qi Huan murmured softly.

She was speaking to Ye Chen, with a playful and teasing tone. She knew what he was doing, but to a Zhun Huang Di like her, it didn't matter.

Looking across the entire expedition army of the heavens, including Di Huang, only Ye Chen barely measured up—but just barely. Defeating him wouldn't even require her full effort.

"Let us go."

Before Ye Chen could speak, Hong Yan stepped out from behind him, facing her sister for the first time with a pale face. Her tone was still so humble.

This action made Qi Huan tilt her head slightly, finally giving Ye Chen a glance that could barely be called a proper look.

Blood overflowed from Ye Chen's mouth again.

Others with blood at their mouths included Di Huang and his companions.

Qi Huan's gaze carried its own pressure.

Ye Chen's injuries worsened, while the emperors and generals suffered only from the aftershocks. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough—it was that Qi Huan was too terrifying.

Silence enveloped the entire world, so quiet it was frightening.

Ye Chen pulled Hong Yan behind him again and met Qi Huan's gaze across the sky, his expression indifferent. Such pressure didn't scare him. A single glance couldn't make the sacred body lineage submit, not even from a Zhun Huang Di.

"So strong."

Hou Yi gritted his teeth, and the other great emperors felt the same. They couldn't move at all, as if the entire world had been placed under a supreme seal, even stopping the operation of the universe.

"Have you two... been to bed yet?"

After a long while, Qi Huan withdrew her gaze and laughed lightly, like a big sister interrogating her sister and brother-in-law.

Ye Chen said nothing.

Hong Yan parted her lips slightly but didn't speak. She never expected Qi Huan to ask something like that—the sister in her memories wasn't so frivolous.

"At a glance, she seems very idle."

Ren Wang stroked his beard, speaking with a tone of deep insight. With your Zhun Huang Di insight, couldn't you tell if they've been to bed? Just take a look and tell us while you're at it.

"We're all family, no need to be like this."

Xiao Ling Wa gave a dry laugh, then quickly shrank back into the cauldron, afraid Qi Huan might give him one of her glances. His small frame couldn't handle it.

"That makes sense."

"Your sister is the daughter-in-law of our heavens, so we're all relatives. As family, let's not fight and kill each other. If it's convenient, just let us pass."

"Since you're not married yet, our heavens have plenty of talents—pick one at your leisure."

"Or, you could just marry Ye Chen."

The divine generals had all shrunk back into the cauldron, but their voices kept coming, one after another, trying to coax Qi Huan. But as they spoke, the conversation shifted.

Of course, this was also a great wish.

In terms of talent, Ye Chen was absolutely the most outstanding in the heavens. With so many wives already, one more wouldn't hurt.

Twin sisters? It's not unheard of.

Like Chu Xuan and Chu Ling, or Shangguan Han Yue and Shangguan Yu Er.

If this worked out, it would be a huge win.

A Zhun Huang Di-level Saint Demon, the supreme among supremes, would be a top general in the heavens' ranks.

"How interesting."

Qi Huan was amused and laughed out loud, giggling nonstop. Her laughter was no small thing— the entire world shook, instantly bringing flashes of lightning and thunder. If she let out a full cry, she might even shatter the ancient road.

"Stop talking."

The old divine generals in the cauldron all hushed sternly.

Was coaxing her really going to work?

So, don't provoke that woman. She wasn't normal, and her demonic laughter wasn't a joke.

Besides, she wasn't just blocking the ancient road for fun. She was a massive obstacle—if you couldn't get past her, forget about reaching the ancient wilderness.

"Surrender, and you may live."

Qi Huan's laughter stopped, and she ignored the divine generals' words completely. What supreme being would bother amusing ants? She was too lazy to even strike.

She was speaking to Ye Chen.

While the divine generals were coaxing her, she was also trying to draw him in. The pioneering Huang Gu Sheng Ti wasn't just any sacred body. Though she was demonic, she also valued talent. Wiping him out would be a waste.

Of course, there was another factor.

That factor was Hong Yan. Whether they got along or not, she was indeed her sister. Perhaps there was no familial bond, but they shared the same roots.

"Thank you for the recognition, senior."

Ye Chen replied faintly, but that was all. There had never been a sacred body that lived on its knees, and there would never be a Ye Chen that was born to kneel.

"You're quite unyielding."

Qi Huan chuckled leisurely.

Before her words even faded, she vanished from the cloud platform and reappeared right in front of Ye Chen, like a fairy from a dream.

Seeing this, Hong Yan wanted to move but couldn't.

The emperors wanted to move too, but they were equally immobilized. A wave of pressure enveloped them, likely from Qi Huan, forcing an urge to kneel.

Ye Chen could move, but he didn't. His indifferent eyes showed no emotion, like a statue, like an ice sculpture.

"What's the matter? Isn't your sister beautiful?"

Qi Huan's beautiful eyes were as clear as water, and her smile was enchanting. She gently raised her jade hand, her slender fingers tracing Ye Chen's face, like a courtesan from a brothel.

"Is this... seduction?"

Xiao Yuan Huang coughed dryly and swallowed hard, feeling his mouth go dry. If it were him, he definitely couldn't resist the temptation.

"This Zhun Huang Di is really something."

Long Ye smirked.

If you're going to fight, then fight; if you're going to kill, then kill. Why add this seduction? And with her sister standing right there— is it appropriate to seduce her brother-in-law like this?

"Sister."

Hong Yan's voice carried a sobbing plea. It wasn't that she feared Qi Huan seducing Ye Chen; she feared her sister killing her lover.

After endless ages, no one understood this demonic woman better than she did.

She was a madwoman.
