The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor-Chapter 33: Does He Value His Reputation or His Life?

"Sorry, I’m with my girlfriend right now, maybe we can meet next time."

Facing the proactive approach of the blue-haired beauty, Lynn remained composed and decisively rejected her.

The food in his bowl hadn’t even been tasted yet, how could he greedily think about what’s in the pot? At least until things with Vivian were settled, he couldn’t reveal his ambitions, or it might all end up with nothing.

"Then leave me your contact information, otherwise how will there be a next time?"

As she spoke, the blue-haired beauty took out a delicate-looking Communication Stone, seemingly more high-end than the one he and Vivian used, presumably with shorter communication delays.

No wonder she’s a Royal Princess, using high-end stuff; once I have the opportunity, I’ll get one too, otherwise chatting with Vivian could be quite troublesome.

"Suit yourself."

Indifferent, Lynn also took out his Communication Stone and touched it with Princess Helena’s.

"Ding! You have added friend ’Lynn’."

"Ding! You have added friend ’Beautiful and Invincible Helena’."

Oh, this nickname... quite unique, huh.

Lynn quietly put away the Communication Stone, then holding Vivian’s slightly jealous hand, turned to leave, not giving her a chance to amplify her jealousy or "misunderstand" him.

The two walked hand in hand out of Duke Wilson’s Mansion, by this time the carriage Lynn took earlier had long left, and there were no public carriages in this Noble District to catch, so Lynn looked towards Vivian, her family’s carriage should be parked nearby...

Just as Lynn was about to suggest riding a carriage together with Vivian, the Jones Marquis couple, a step behind them, also hurried out.

Their precious daughter had been taken away; how could they, as parents, be left behind? Even if that guy was terrifyingly strong, the entire Jones Clan combined wasn’t his match, they couldn’t let him succeed easily.

Too easily obtained things wouldn’t be cherished, this was the wisdom gained from experience. They needed to advise Vivian properly; dating with this ridiculously strong man was fine, but for that, absolutely not!

Even if they didn’t insist on waiting until after marriage, at least it should be after formal engagement.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry and get out of here!"

Seeing Lynn and Vivian standing hand in hand at Duke Wilson’s mansion entrance, not moving, Marquis Jones anxiously urged.

Although with Lynn’s unfathomable strength, they might not need to worry about Duke Wilson’s retaliation, staying in this place was not a good idea.

Today’s incident had already been seen by the Sixth Princess, alerting the royal family was inevitable. No matter how strong Lynn was, he was merely one person and couldn’t possibly oppose the entire Celestial Destiny Empire.

Even a level 900 Demigod, if surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, would only have one path... to slaughter them all and then leave gracefully...

Alright, it seems the Celestial Destiny Empire truly didn’t have any way of dealing with a Demigod, unless they requested the Saint Emperor of Light to personally lead the Light Legion to aid, then there might be some chance of victory.

"Should we go to my place or yours?"

Lynn followed the Jones Marquis couple to where their carriage was parked. The marquis’s carriage was large and luxurious, adding just one person, Lynn, it was more than enough to fit them. But before departure, Lynn seemed to remember something and asked.

"Can you even go home now? Naturally, you should first leave the city to lay low, wait for His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision before considering anything else."

Marquis Jones said matter-of-factly, at such a time returning home brazenly would be not taking the Empire’s high officials seriously. Duke Wilson was one of the major nobles of the Celestial Destiny Empire, today Lynn injured his eldest son and harmed him personally, His Majesty the Emperor would surely make inquiries for face; Lynn remaining in Celestial Destiny City now would be unwise, he should hide elsewhere to wait this out.

"Why should I avoid the Celestial Destiny Emperor? Aren’t private duels between nobles quite commonplace? Besides, my actions against Wilson’s boy were retaliatory and against the old Wilson were clear self-defense."

Back in the early days of the game, the City Defense Army and Royal Guard of Celestial Destiny City were terrifying forces players couldn’t contend with, but in the current reality version, Lynn at level 999 could accomplish the feat of defeating a nation solo, why would he need to hide? Shouldn’t the Celestial Destiny Emperor be the one avoiding him?

"You don’t know, the current emperor is very particular about face, if someone beats up and cripples a major noble in the Imperial City without repercussions, where would his face be..."

For the sake of caution, Marquis Jones even dismissed their carriage driver, choosing to drive himself to escape with Lynn, lest his hiding place be leaked.

Though he didn’t know Lynn well, seeing his darling daughter still holding hands with him, not letting go, Marquis Jones could only take the risk of being implicated again to help him out this time.

"So do you think he’s more concerned with face or life?"

Lynn wasn’t skilled at noble etiquette, so once he spoke he killed the conversation, leaving Marquis Jones speechless for a moment.

"Take me home, I’m not from the Demon Race, there’s no need to cower in a Human Race realm. If the Celestial Destiny Emperor really has the guts to cause trouble for a duke and a cripple, then I’ll have to look up to him."

Lynn looked at Vivian, whose face was full of worry after what her father said, sensing her agitation, he frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

He was never a muscle-brained Berserker; what he did today had its own considerations.

In the background of the Miracle World setup, among the nobles in the various Empires, from Emperors to Barons, about 80% were not good people. It was precisely their gluttony behind the lines that caused tension at the front, resulting in the Miracle World with a large number of player support still having one of its three continents fall and another almost being invaded.

Among them, the Celestial Destiny Empire, located at the center of the Divine Protection Continent, faced the most severe issues in this regard, because the wars at the front would never reach them, after all, should it come to that, it would be the very moment of life and death for the Miracle World.

Just like a year ago when the Demon Dragon Emperor led an army to the World Tree, the entire Divine Protection Continent boiled over, all major Empires, Kingdoms, and Church Courts gathered forces to assist the Celestial Destiny Empire against the Demon Race. When the continent center falls and the World Tree collapses, the Miracle World will have no future.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, countless elite players stood up, saving the structure from collapsing. They united with the amateur natives to ultimately defeat and even rout the Demon Race, allowing the elites of various Empires to retain their privileged lives.
