Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 488: Husband [Third Update]
"Stealing kills?"
Green Lotus Sword Immortal blinked and smiled, "What's the benefit of stealing kills?"
"It helps you level up faster."
Su Yie curled his lip as he spoke, but of course, he was just joking.
Having quickly ended the marital selection assembly put him in a good mood, so he made a joke using a mobile game from Earth.
The name Green Lotus Sword Immortal suited Li Bai so well.
Li Bai, the hero, always popped up to steal kills—Su Yie used to enjoy playing as him.
Ahem...
Green Lotus Sword Immortal stared at Su Yie for a while, then shook his head, chuckling to himself.
It seemed he was wondering if Su Yie had been dazed by the heat of the battle just now.
Boom...
At that moment, Shen Family's Main Island suddenly began to shake violently, and a semi-transparent light curtain rose along its edges, enveloping the entire Floating Island to protect it.
Su Yie glanced over and could already see the war raging outside.
Beams of light were chasing each other everywhere; all the combatants had strong cultivation, with the weakest being of Semi-Saint Cultivation. Those Heavenly Prides had all been taken away by their elders, to avoid accidental injuries.
"Ji Bubai, you're dead meat!"
Dongfang Yunji's roar echoed through the entire Shen Saint Realm; it was clear that he'd suffered a setback at Ji Bubai's hands.
The sounds of explosions were unceasing, the battle spread throughout Shen Saint Realm, but Shen Family's Main Island remained unaffected.
Su Yie wasn't concerned; he had confidence in Emperor Su's Sect.
Just then, a graceful figure walked into the courtyard—it was Shen Zixuan.
Su Yie did not look towards her, instead continuing to drink with Green Lotus Sword Immortal. The two exchanged no words, yet there was no awkwardness between them.
"Young Master Su."
Shen Zixuan approached Su Yie, called him softly, and even gave a little bow as she spoke.
A light fragrance wafted into Su Yie's nose. They were very close, so close that Su Yie could even hear her heartbeat.
Without lifting his head, Su Yie asked, "Miss Shen, is there something you need?"
As far as Shen Zixuan was concerned, he didn't wish to get too involved.
Once this matter was over, he would leave.
They would never interact again, and even if they did, it would be nothing more than a nod of acknowledgment.
"Young Master Su, can we talk?"
Shen Zixuan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked softly.
Her gaze towards Su Yie was fervent; she remembered what Qin Emperor Shen Taidou had said: once this affair was over, Su Yie would stay in the Shen Family Library for a month before leaving.
Although they'd only met two days ago, Shen Zixuan found herself somewhat attracted to him. Su Yie was a mystery in her eyes, and it made her very curious.
Su Yie set down his cup and countered, "What's there to talk about?"
Shen Zixuan was taken aback; she hadn't expected Su Yie to be so cold.
But on second thought, it seemed that Su Yie had always been like this.
Her lips curved into a smile as she said, "You did win the marital selection assembly. As for what there is to talk about, of course, it would be about a long and lasting relationship."
Su Yie looked up, frowning at her.
Under Su Yie's gaze, Shen Zixuan was far from bashful, continuing to stare back at him intensely.
As their eyes met, everything around them seemed to vanish from their world.
"Don't fall for me."
Su Yie averted his gaze and shook his head.
Shen Zixuan maintained her smile and asked, "Why not?"
"I already have someone in my heart."
Su Yie stated frankly, even though Shen Zixuan was beautiful with great talent, he only had eyes for Nan Xiaopao.
Wux Qingyao and Xiang Yu had also shown interest in him at the beginning, but he had ignored it.
Winning his heart was very difficult.
"Can't you make room for one more, or are you just narrow-minded?"
Shen Zixuan huffed, and even as she said those words, her face couldn't help but heat up a little.
In the past, she had always been distant toward men, but ever since Su Yie solved her secret realm's puzzle, his image in her heart had changed, and added with his performance today, she admitted that she was moved.
Only a hero like him was worthy of her!
Su Yie didn't respond and was about to pour himself another cup of wine when Shen Zixuan quickly snatched the wine pot and personally poured wine for Su Yie.
"Tsk tsk, can you two not forget about me?"
The Green Lotus Sword Immortal couldn't stand it any longer and said teasingly with a laugh. They weren't even married yet, but they were already so affectionate—it's truly a sign of the times in decline.
Shen Zixuan stuck out her tongue and showed a shy smile.
At that moment, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal vanished, clearly going to support the battlefield.
Seeing this, Shen Zixuan's face lit up with joy. She immediately moved the stone stool in front of her next to Su Yie and sat close to him.
"Husband, how old are you?"
Shen Zixuan asked while blinking, leaning her face in closer to Su Yie as if wanting to get a clearer look at his face.
Su Yie shifted away slightly and frowned, "Miss Shen, please compose yourself."
Compose herself?
Shen Zixuan pouted, feeling a bit wronged inside.
She had never been so enthusiastic towards a man before, only to be given the cold shoulder by Su Yie.
However, she wasn't angry. Once she set her mind on getting something, she wouldn't give up easily.
Su Yie stopped paying attention to her and closed his eyes to check the chats within Emperor Su's Sect.
Qin Emperor Shen Taidou: Nine Palaces Supreme and Ji Bubai are very strong, they could single-handedly challenge Dongfang Yunji and the Demon Dragon Emperor.
Demon Wolf Star: Myopic fools, the real powerhouse is my Brother Long.
Supreme Dragon Shaking: Shut your mouth.
Li Huahun: How is Su Yie doing?
Green Lotus Sword Immortal: He's being entangled by Miss Shen Family. The affection is so thick, it's giving me goosebumps.
Nan Xiaopao: Hmmm?
Yin Yang God Shaker: If Nine Palaces Supreme can't beat them, I'll look down on him.
...
The corners of Su Yie's mouth twitched slightly. Green Lotus Sword Immortal and his big mouth, reporting so quickly.
But Su Yie was guilt-free and felt little pressure in his heart.
What surprised him was that Nan Xiaopao wasn't angry; instead, she was earnestly asking about Shen Zixuan.
Upon learning of Shen Zixuan's beauty and talent, she felt very satisfied and said the girl was worth considering.
"Has this girl changed her nature?"
Su Yie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't excited because he truly didn't have much interest in Shen Zixuan.
Shen Zixuan was oblivious to Su Yie's inner thoughts. She rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Su Yie's face in a trance.
This was the first time she had observed a man at such close range.
What kind of life would she have if this man before her became her husband in the future?
As she pondered, her cheeks flushed red, under the sunlight she was as beautiful as a flower.
The battle continued.
After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a scream echoed across the Shen Saint Realm.
"Nine Palaces Supreme... you will not die a good death!"
The Demon Dragon Emperor roared, his voice filled with fear, rage, and unwillingness.
The next second, his voice ceased.
Su Yie learned the truth through the chats in Emperor Su's Sect: the Demon Dragon Emperor had fallen, slain by Nine Palaces Supreme, his soul scattered and extinguished.
His fall scared the powerhouses of the Dominion of the Demon Universe into fleeing.
Dongfang Yunji was still in fierce battle with Ji Bubai. Seeing what had unfolded, he was alarmed, but fortunately, his reinforcements arrived in time.
Figures shattered the void, storming into the fray.

"Dongfang Yunji, don't forget our agreement!" a domineering laughter sounded. Immediately after, a terrifying presence that could shake one's soul descended, startling both Su Yie and Shen Zixuan on the Shen Family's Main Island.
Su Yie opened his eyes and turned to look, wanting to see who had arrived.
Because this presence was evidently stronger than both Dongfang Yunji and the Demon Dragon Emperor.
