"You say it’s impossible, but I say it’s possible. Want to make a bet?" Lin Xiaosu said.

"A bet? Bet on what?"

"If I win, you take me to the Heavenly Capital and let me meet the Lord of Heaven in a friendly atmosphere," Lin Xiaosu said.

"What if you lose?" Han Yan said.

"If I lose... the condition is up to you!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Han Yan said, "If you lose, I want to hear you play three pieces: one joyful, one sad, and one calm."

"Deal!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Han Yan laughed, "Now you can think about your three pieces, because you definitely can’t win!"

Lin Xiaosu also laughed, "Let’s set aside winning or losing for now. I’m rather curious, why do you still want me to play for you?"

"The one who ties the knot must untie it, that’s all there is to it!"

Lin Xiaosu understood.

This woman, she’s not actually foolish.

The injury to her Tao Realm was caused by Lin Xiaosu’s music. Normally, someone hurt by music would be wary of it afterward. However, she realized the profound life philosophy of "where one falls is where one must rise again," which also aligns with the Great Dao’s principles. She became even more determined, wanting to hear his music in three forms: joyful, sad, and calm.

These three types of music represent three ultimate emotions and also signify a progressive process in music theory...

With a whoosh, it was as if flowers bloomed in the air.

A figure descended from the sky.

Lin Xiaosu raised his eyes in surprise.

The one who came down was the Moon Demon, quite normal. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

She was dressed like a human girl, also normal, because she intended to spend an extraordinary Spring Festival as a human girl.

She went out early in the morning to buy groceries, leaving footprints in the snow instead of flying, which was evidence.

However, at this moment, she descended through the air, not following the steps of humans.

Why?

The Moon Demon softly exclaimed, "Young Master, big news just came from the Demon City. You won’t believe it; my brother-in-law... my brother-in-law has become the new Demon Emperor!"

"What?" Han Yan jumped up.

She reacted intensely.

The Moon Demon grabbed her, "Han Yan, can you believe it? Who would have thought such a strange thing would happen? The entire Demon Domain is stunned; the news just reached the town, and everyone there is dazed..."

Han Yan took a deep breath, "But... but someone did think of it! Just now, they even bet with me on this."

"Ah?" The Moon Demon was also dumbfounded.

Han Yan slowly turned her gaze to Lin Xiaosu, "Marquis Su, your information in the Demon Domain is quite sharp, faster even than the new Demon Emperor’s sister-in-law. Didn’t you know already? Wasn’t it a bit too much to bet on information you already had?"

The Moon Demon’s heart raced. Could this be possible?

The appointment of her brother-in-law as the Demon Emperor was just announced. There was no prior information, and as soon as it was announced, her sister shared it remotely. In theory, no one in the world should have heard about it earlier than she did.

Lin Xiaosu put down his teacup, "In the Demon Domain, the only person I know is the Moon Demon Fairy. I don’t know anyone else, so how could there be any information exchange?"

That’s true!

Han Yan’s gaze flickered, "Then how did you deduce that there was a high probability that the new Demon Emperor would be the Feihua Valley Master? His strength isn’t particularly outstanding, and he has no foundation in the Demon Sect."

The Moon Demon also looked at Lin Xiaosu.

Yes, Han Yan’s question was the same as hers.

Even her sister and brother-in-law were bewildered when they received the appointment. They never expected it, yet Young Master Su did. How could this be?

As Han Yan said, even though her brother-in-law was a Great Demon King, his strength wasn’t exceptional in the entire Demon Domain. Hundreds of others possessed similar strength.

Considering the Flower Demon’s lack of combat prowess, he might even rank at the bottom among these hundreds.

In terms of his foundation in the Demon Sect, he was practically non-existent.

What exactly made Young Master Su so optimistic about her brother-in-law?

What exactly led to her brother-in-law’s leap of honor?

Lin Xiaosu said, "The position of the Demon Emperor in the Demon Domain has similarities and differences with the human Emperor, which combined, led to his achievement..."

He provided an explanation.

The Demon Emperor of the Demon Domain is essentially an agent of the Demon Sect in worldly affairs.

In the vast Demon Domain, worldly matters are controlled by this Demon Emperor, so he resembles a human emperor overseeing this land.

The human emperor doesn’t emphasize personal strength; he focuses on the foundational support of the populace.

Therefore, selecting someone who represents the interests of the majority as this emperor is the best fit, historically, minority rule over a large nation is flawed and isn’t considered legitimate, whereas having a representative of the majority as emperor aligns with legitimacy.

Solely based on population size, the Flower Demon is the absolute majority in the Demon Domain.

So, having a Flower Demon as the Demon Emperor can better win the people’s hearts and legitimacy.

Earlier, the Heavenly Demon being the Demon Emperor actually went against the rule of majority-ethnic emperors, leading to various issues later on. As long as the Demon Sect has some insight, the same mistake won’t be made again.

This reasoning left both women stunned.

His logic sounded absurd, but upon reflection, it made sense.

The human emperor must either conquer with strength or win with the people’s support, choosing one.

But the Demon King Palace isn’t purely a human empire; it’s more like an external administrative agency of the Demon Sect, making true military conquest impossible. Instead, it’s appointed by the Demon Sect.

With the basic goal of ruling the entire Demon Domain, the Demon Sect naturally should choose someone who can represent the interests of the vast majority for the Demon Emperor position.
