'You should really hold back! If your son isn't the strongest expert in the whole of the demon world, he had already died millions of times already!'

'There are guests! You should at least give the Emperor some face! Well... He destroyed most of it himself, but at least let him retain the face he had left, you didn't have to bury it yourself!'

'Who else would the Emperor take after?! It's all on you!'

All of the retainers wanted to rant these things, yet, they chose to stay silent averting their eyes towards the Emperor and Lulayne.

Just by remembering the time that they were thrown in a den of thousands of draconic beasts with Immortal Foundation rank powers while they had the same cultivation that time, it sent s.h.i.+vers down their spines, they couldn't forget that the thirty-two of them almost died thousands of times.

They persevered for ten years just to fend off for themselves, they learned how to eat the flesh of draconic beasts while they fight.

They came out as Immortal Ascension ranked experts after defeating thousands of draconic beasts, but then, they became insane as they turned into somewhat of a beast.

But that's not the frightening part.

In order to return them to their sane minds...

Just remembering it, sent s.h.i.+vers down their spines.

For a whole year, every day is h.e.l.l, whenever they will run rampant, a certain individual will show up and slam their face 'in' the ground, but that's not the end of it.

They remembered that certain person...

She smiled as she held their head and spoke quite sweetly: "Oh, you're baring your fangs at me? How cute..."

Bang!

Remembering it, they s.h.i.+vered, they s.h.i.+vered they did.

And lastly, after regaining their sanity, it still lasted for nine years more, even after they begged for mercy it did.

The grand elder has many t.i.tles, but the most famous is the 'Eccentric Witch'. Why?

If they voiced their rant, they'd be punished, if they are silent...

Lulayne smiled at the thirty-two retainers: "It seemed that I haven't educated you all, your Emperor has been a.s.sa.s.sinated yet, all of you choose to stay silent!"

One of the retainers trembled, he's the one with the highest position, he then shouted: "The Emperor has been slammed to the ground?! Who did it!"

"Search for traces, we should definitely punish those that dare humiliate our Emperor!"

Voices after voice sounded, the sixteen retainers from the left side shouted as they tried to act like they are searching but in reality, they are starting to panic.

"Arara?" Yes, the Eccentric Witch strikes again: "I'm the one who did it, I wish to know how you'll punish me?"

"WE DIDN'T DARE!" The sixteen retainers kneeled on the ground as they slammed their heads on the floor.

Lulayne chuckles: "Okay, climb the Eternal Wall for one month, that's your punishment."

"T-the Eternal Wall..." They s.h.i.+vered just hearing about this name.

"Hohoho, better yet, should I seal off all of your cultivations before you all do it?" Lulayne added.

The sixteen didn't even speak nor made a noise as all of them vanished.

The other sixteen that was left bowed their heads; 'Brothers, your sacrifice will be remembered!'

All of sixteen of them thought. This is an annual event, sometimes, it will happen two to three times a year, yet, all of them returned stronger every time, although it became their training, it is an extremely h.e.l.lish one.

Vielka seeing this all, although still angry at her grandma, she stayed silent, she didn't want to embarra.s.s herself in front of her new friends, who wants that anyway?

Lulayne s.h.i.+fts her gaze back to Aiqing, she then did something that Aiqing didn't expect.

Lulayne's voice entered Aiqing's head.

"You see, you should always think of the future. The future holds a lot of possibilities.

You need to look at the bigger picture, not just the present, the past is history, the future surely a mystery, but the present, it's a gift, you should always choose carefully."

Aiqing tilts her head: "You mean?"

Lulayne chuckles: "You have a great father, I even offered her my daughter yet, he didn't even give a second thought on her, what a pity."

"You know my father?" Aiqing asked in shock, she had been with her father more than anyone would know, how could this person that wasn't alive those times know of his father?

Lulayne chuckles: "I know not of your father, but the stars of your father shone brightly as the sun, his future will be limitless, his path, uncountable."

Aiqing frowns: "You should go directly to the point."

Lulayne smiled, she touched Aiqing's head patting it and spoke: "You should think of a bigger picture."

Aiqing pondered for a bit, her eyes glowed: "I know what you mean! Instead of asking for a banquet of sweets, I should go and get everything your Empire has!"

For the first time, Lulayne felt speechless as her expression froze while looking at Aiqing.

"Maybe my granddaughter is you, not this stranger."

Lulayne and Aiqing looked at Vielka at the same time.

"W-what?!" Vielka asked in shock: "Grandma, are you using your weird power again? Saying many unreasonable things?!"

Lulayne and Aiqing nod simultaneously.

Aiqing looked at Lulayne and asked: "Are you sure she's your granddaughter?!"

Lulayne sighed: "Maybe you two were switched from birth?"

After a while, the two of them looked at each other for a few breaths before looking at Vielka.

"W-seriously! What are you two talking about inside your heads!?"

Aiqing and Lulayne move their gaze to each other and nod their head.

Lulayne smiled, talking to Aiqing brightened her mood: "If you marry my daughter, all of the royal families will send their wedding gifts! You will own part of the demon country's riches, then, you can ask all of the sweets to be yours!"

Aiqing looked at Vielka from behind Lulayne, her eyes glowed as her mouth opened with a little saliva threatening to fall, then, a few moments later, her expression turned serious.

"What's the catch?" She looked at Lulayne in a serious manner.

Lulayne smiled, her playful seductive face turned gentle as she spoke: "There's something that's going to happen that even I wouldn't be able to prevent, I would like you to take my daughter away and live with your Sect instead."

Aiqing frowns: "Are you a stellar prophet?"

Aiqing's question this time stunned Lulayne, yet, she gave out a warm smile later on and nods her head: "Yes, but I'm merely an inexperienced person in this path."

Aiqing then asked once more: "You can escape this event right? Why not just save your own daughter?"

Lulayne chuckles as she replied: "She will choose to stay here and defend the citizens that time, I didn't see the complete event, but I saw her fighting this event all alone."

Aiqing nods her head: "I hope it's a future that's not gonna happen any time soon?"

Lulayne nods: "Not that soon, yet, not that far either."

Aiqing sighed: "You guys really talk in a mysterious, weird, and profound way that I can never understand."

But then, Aiqing smiled and added: "I agree."

Lulayne smiled and nods her head: "I thank you."

"Ughh..."

At this moment, like she had planned it all along, Lusarch woke up after being unconscious.

Aiqing smiled at him and spoke: "I know what I want!"

Lusarch opened his eyes widely, he looked at his mother speechlessly before nodding his head at Aiqing: "What is it?"

"I want to marry Vielka!"

Aiqing's voice reverberated throughout the whole of the throne room.

"..."

Everyone's mouth opened widely as they looked at Aiqing in shock.

"Arara! What a grand idea!"
