Chapter 608: The Wait at Kali Academy
The enemy was obvious—the Tenebrous Demon Emperor.
"To avenge him, you need power. Our ancestor, the Peacock Demon Emperor, was ranked above the Tenebrous Demon Emperor. And your talent surpasses even hers. If you want to avenge Asura, you must make yourself stronger. Only with great strength can you have the possibility of revenge. First, become an Emperor, stronger than the Tenebrous Demon Emperor, then find him and kill him like he killed Asura. This is the most important thing you can do for him."
After hearing his words, Mei Gongzi took a deep breath. "Yes, Father. You are right. I must avenge him."
The Peacock Great Demon King saw that he had finally stirred her emotions and said solemnly, "The first step you need to take now is to face your tribulation. Before doing that, you need to adjust your state of mind, balance your emotions, and ensure that your physique, bloodline, and spirit are at their peak. You need to undergo your tribulation under the watchful eyes of all our ancestors. Your talent is exceptional, and you've gained the recognition of the Celestial Plume, so your tribulation will undoubtedly be extremely challenging. You must be fully prepared."
Mei Gongzi asked solemnly, "What kind of preparation do I need?"
The Peacock Great Demon King replied, "First, you need to stabilize your mindset, ensuring that your entire being is in the most stable state possible. Your body and mind must be at their peak. Only then can you face the tribulation in your best condition. After the Ancestral Court Elite Competition, your foundation is solid, but even I can’t tell how strong your lightning tribulation will be. You need to be fully prepared. I will provide you with elixirs; you need to get yourself together. Time is of the essence; you must hurry."
Mei Gongzi lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to go back to Kali Academy for that."
"Back to Kali Academy?" The Peacock Great Demon King raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Mei Gongzi nodded. "I grew up there. I want to go back; it’s the best place for me to get things under control."
The Peacock Great Demon King thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but the time cannot be too long. You must reach your best state within half a month. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Father."
After a few more reminders, the Peacock Great Demon King got up and left. Mei Gongzi's tribulation and succession to the position of clan leader required extensive preparation. Thanks to her championship in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition, there were no objections from the other clans in the city. However, internal issues within the clan were more troublesome. After all, Mei Gongzi was not purely of Peacock Demon lineage; she also had human blood, not to mention the blood of the White Tiger Demon Emperor. There were many discordant voices within the clan, questioning why the clan leader focused on grooming Mei Gongzi instead of other offspring. The Peacock Demon clan did have other outstanding members, after all, and they had no other allegiance.
Mei Gongzi packed her things briefly and quietly left the ancestral home of the Peacock Demon clan.
She wore a white cloak with a hood, hiding her stunning features beneath it. As long as she kept her head slightly lowered, no one could see her face.
Silver light flickered, and when she reappeared, she was already at the foot of the mountain where Kali Academy stood.
Will you come back? Please... Will you come back?
Time passed by quickly, and all Mei Gongzi wished was that it would slow down. Because as long as three days hadn’t passed, she could still hold on to her hope, that tiny sliver of hope in her heart.
But time passes, whether we wish it or not.
It grew dark, then light again. One day slipped by quietly.
It grew dark again, then it was once more light. Two days were gone.
Mei Gongzi had been waiting there the whole time, dazed. Scenes of her time with him flashed through her mind over these two days.
People truly cherish something once it's lost. That’s easy to do. But how many know to cherish it wholeheartedly while they still have it?
Mei Gongzi was not exactly sure what feelings she had for Asura. The only thing she was sure of was that he had already planted himself deeply inside her heart.
The sky was darkening again, and more than half of the third day had passed. Yet he was not there. Although she clung to that sliver of hope in her heart, he ultimately had not arrived.
With each passing second, her hope dwindled, and her heart grew colder. But she would wait until the very end, until the last moment.
As hope grew weak, it was replaced by hatred. The less hope there was, the more intense her hatred grew, causing her demeanor to change imperceptibly.
If she had been strong enough, he wouldn't have died for her. If not for such a powerful enemy, none of this would have happened. Only by becoming stronger could she avenge him!
Cold killing intent swirled in her heart, and the bloodline of the White Tiger Demon Emperor within her was continuously boiling.
"I’m sorry, miss, it’s full of falling leaves here. May I sweep this area?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded, jolting Mei Gongzi's mind out of her murderous thoughts.
