Chapter 1 The strongest villainous female demon emperor, but very pure and naive.

Two graceful figures stood in the silent depths of the starry sky, surrounded by chaos, the space itself fragmented into pieces resembling shards of glass.

The woman in the pink dress said coldly, "Demon Emperor, our strengths are evenly matched, it's hard to tell who is stronger. Why don't we compete in something else?"

“Excellent! Perfect, I want to prove to the world that the demonic path is the strongest magic.” The woman in the ice-blue dress nodded immediately, her tone full of confidence.

The hem of her skirt and the mid-thigh area formed an absolute boundary with her long, slender, jade-like legs.

Four ribbons extend from the moon-white waistband, each with a small gold bell at its end.

Barefoot, her skin was snow-white and flawless.

With exquisite features, she possesses a stunningly beautiful face.

Especially her bright, ruby-like eyes, which were the perfect finishing touch to a painting.

After a moment's thought, the woman in the pink dress parted her cherry lips slightly, "I will randomly select a city to take on disciples. Three years later, our strongest disciples will compete. If your disciple wins, I will concede defeat. At that time, the world will know that the demonic path is the strongest magic."

“Okay!” The woman in the ice-blue dress revealed a pure, childlike smile.

The woman in the pink dress felt relieved.

Fortunately, this Demon Emperor was always devoted to cultivation and had a simple mind.

She also killed the wise man beside her early on, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

......

Cloud Realm, Tianyan City, the Path to Immortality.

"I will teach you the most powerful demonic arts in Taoism. Would you like to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, the young man, who had initially shown some interest, collapsed to the ground, crying out, "She-devil, no... don't kill me..."

The woman in the ice-blue dress tilted her head slightly, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes filled with incomprehension.

But in the eyes of the cultivators who came to become her disciples, her bright red eyes were so eerie.

Even though the woman in the ice-blue dress didn't emanate any killing intent, the cultivators still felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively moved away.

"Everyone! Today, regardless of talent or gender, anyone who is willing to become my disciple can become my student."

A solemn and dignified voice resounded throughout the entire Ascension Avenue.

The cultivators were all taken aback and looked toward the source of the sound, where they saw a woman in a pink dress who looked exactly like the statue of the Empress of Tianyan City.

The next moment, thunderous footsteps echoed throughout the Ascension Avenue, and countless cultivators rushed straight towards the woman in the pink dress.

Only one young man, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with numerous golden auspicious cloud patterns, with a tall and strong body and a fresh and handsome appearance, was frowning.

"This scene... is exactly the same as the beginning of a female protagonist novel I read before I transmigrated called 'Phoenix's Cry in the Nine Heavens'."

Jing Mingxuan raised his right hand and lightly patted his handsome cheek.

It hurts!

So I'm not dreaming?

Jing Mingxuan was very happy, and began to recall the character from the original novel.

A moment later, the smile vanished instantly, and his face froze.

In the original work, he was a cannon fodder who stepped into a secret trap for the sixth male protagonist.

It was sent after only a little over a hundred words of appearance!

Depend on!

After cursing under his breath, he looked at the dense crowd in front of him.

This time, the Empress, or rather the female protagonist, took in more than five thousand disciples.

Most were even worse off than him, and none of them even appeared by name.

At least he left more than a hundred words in the original work.

However, Jing Mingxuan was not complacent.

He is not just a cold line of text in the original work, but a living, breathing person.

Knowing his future fate, he would never become the female lead's disciple.

Firstly, he doesn't have that kind of strong cultivation talent, or perhaps he has the protagonist's halo.

Secondly, there's the pressure of competing for favor with over five thousand people, which is even more outrageous than taking the civil service exam in my previous life.

Moreover, he's just an ordinary person. Not only would he not be able to do it, but he'd probably die inexplicably a few days later because of vying for favor.

Finally, the Jing family was a prominent family in Tianyan City, yet he gave up his immense wealth and went to suffer with the female lead.

Is he out of his mind, or is he just being a jerk?

This year's apprenticeship is over, but I'll be back next year.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, the clear sound of bells echoed in my ears, and a timid, heavenly voice rang out.

"Young man! I will teach you the most powerful demonic path among Taoist arts. Would you like to become my disciple?"

The woman in the ice-blue dress had lost the light in her eyes; she no longer possessed her former confidence.

She didn't understand why so many cultivators would rush over just by the woman in the pink dress shouting.

When she sincerely asked them one-on-one, they were so frightened that they trembled and could not even walk. Some even wet themselves in fear.

Is the Demonic Path really that terrifying?

Or is she really that scary?

Jing Mingxuan was slightly taken aback. Looking down, he saw the stunning red eyes of the woman in the ice-blue dress.

His eyes narrowed sharply, his pupils dilated, and he was deeply shocked.

A modern yet exquisite ancient-style dress, captivating red eyes, and those four little golden bells.

The other party is very likely the strongest villain in the original work—the Demon Empress.

This is an extremely terrifying being who has repeatedly made the female protagonist and her disciples feel despair.

If he weren't extremely naive and had feelings for the female lead's eldest disciple, who is also the male lead.

So what the main characters felt was not despair, but the torment of death.

However, it was precisely this pure simplicity that allowed the Demon Empress to perfectly merge with the Primal Heavenly Demon Heart, the strongest physique for cultivating the demonic path, and become the strongest Demon Empress in history.

In an era where only one great emperor could be born in the entire world, he defied the rules of heaven and earth to become an emperor.

The female protagonist naturally couldn't tolerate it, and she disregarded martial ethics by engaging in a fierce battle with the newly crowned Demon Empress who hadn't had a chance to rest. In the end, the battle was evenly matched.

The most terrifying thing is that the female demon empress grows stronger with each battle, forcing the female protagonist to resort to underhanded tactics.

Taking advantage of the Demon Empress's naivety, they guided her to the disciple-acceptance process, which didn't rely heavily on her own strength.

On the surface, it appears to be a fair process of accepting apprentices, followed by a fierce competition among the apprentices three years later.

But that's not actually the case.

The cultivation world had just been destroyed by demonic cultivators, and cultivators all deeply abhorred the demonic path, especially in Tianyan City.

Therefore, in the original story, the female demon emperor couldn't even get any disciples and lost the competition quite easily.

The female protagonist panicked, fearing that the Demon Empress would not acknowledge the outcome.

However, the female demon empress was not as cunning as the female protagonist and readily admitted defeat, only realizing she had been tricked a year later!

Seeing Jing Mingxuan's stunned expression, although he performed better than the previous cultivators, the Demon Empress already thought it was hopeless. She said softly, "Sorry! I've disturbed you!"

He turned away dejectedly, his back looking so thin and lonely.

Her beautiful eyes instantly welled up with tears as she recalled all the scenes from the journey.

Why did the other party respond to my call with such enthusiasm, while my sincerity failed to move anyone present?

This isn't the fault of the Demon Empress; the blame lies with the demonic cultivators for leaving such a deep and lasting negative impression on the world.

Just then, a clear, deep, and magnetic voice came from beside me, "Hey! You just said you wanted me to become your apprentice, is that true?"

The Demon Empress trembled, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

But he suppressed his joy, turned around, and spoke calmly.

"yes!"

At this moment, the female protagonist, who had been watching this place intently, stood frozen in place.

Tianyan City was brutally trampled by demonic cultivators in the past, so why would anyone be willing to become the Demon Empress's disciple?

The Demon Empress disregarded her image and even walked quickly to Jing Mingxuan with a limp, raising her head slightly as she spoke.

"You want to become my disciple?"

Jing Mingxuan did not give a direct answer, but instead said, "I do have requirements for my master."

"Feel free to ask."

The Demon Empress became increasingly confident. She was so powerful that she could surely fulfill any request her future disciple made.

Jing Mingxuan immediately replied, "My name is Jing Mingxuan. What's your name?"

The female protagonist and the other cultivators twitched at the corners of their mouths, utterly speechless. They had thought they could get some exciting news.

"Su Muchan!"

As soon as that sound ended, Jing Mingxuan's starry eyes shone even brighter.

Su Muchan, that is the name of the female demon emperor in the original work.

He asked this first because he was afraid of making a mistake, and now it seems that he was right!

The Demon Empress is a Great Emperor Realm cultivator who is even more powerful than the female protagonist.

Most importantly, in the original work, the Demon Queen's attitude towards outsiders gradually became cold and she was no longer so innocent.

However, he always maintained a very pure and simple attitude towards his own people, especially the male lead.

So as long as he controls the scale well, the Demon Empress is his strongest trump card in this world. Isn't that a million times better than becoming the heroine's disciple?

Jing Mingxuan was filled with excitement, his heart was pounding, and he was incredibly thrilled.

He knew that if he missed the chance to defy fate by missing the Demon Empress, he would never have another opportunity like this.

So he's determined to become this master!

Many years later, the Demon Empress looked at her two adorable daughters, who were just learning to speak, with a happy expression, and images from the past surfaced in her mind.

She will never forget that when she was at her most insecure, Jing Mingxuan, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, gave her the opportunity to become his master.

PS: This book features a female protagonist in a pure love story. Neither the male nor the female protagonist has eyes for the other.

No matter how handsome the other men are, or how beautiful the other women are, they have nothing to do with the male and female leads, and there will be no ambiguous situations. Please watch with peace of mind.
