Tang San, on the other hand, was completely calm. "I greet Your Majesty."
He turned around with Mei Gongzi, bowing respectfully to the White Tiger Demon Emperor, who was now seated on the sofa.@@@@
Mei Gongzi quickly followed suit, bowing as well, but her heart was filled with shock. Although she knew that Tang San had brought her here to meet both the White Tiger Demon Emperor and the Sword Saint Demon Emperor, she hadn’t expected Tang San to use this method. She had originally thought that he would take her to climb the Sacred Mountain.
But there was no doubt that meeting the White Tiger Demon Emperor this way was much safer and more private than climbing the Sacred Mountain. She now understood that the White Tiger Demon Emperor must have left a trace of divine consciousness here, which would alert him the moment anyone entered.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor sat on the sofa, not looking at Mei Gongzi but instead fixing his intense gaze on Tang San, a strange expression in his eyes. He frowned slightly. "You have a mutated bloodline?"
Tang San nodded slightly, not denying it.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor then turned his gaze to Mei Gongzi, "Show me your face. This look doesn’t do justice to your mother’s beauty."
"Mm." Mei Gongzi nodded, her beautiful face shimmering with a silver light as she reverted to her true, stunning appearance.
Seeing her face, which resembled her mother’s so closely, the White Tiger Demon Emperor couldn’t help but feel a moment of distraction. He raised his hand and gestured to the sofa opposite him.
Only then did Tang San guide Mei Gongzi to sit down.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor asked calmly, "Wang Qing is dead?"
Mei Gongzi nodded slightly.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor continued, "For the Peacock Demon clan to make Lin Ximo give up on taking Kali City, Wang Qing must have had some skill. How did he manage that?"
Instinctively, she turned to look at Tang San again, her face showing signs of anxiety.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor frowned and snapped. "Why do you keep looking at him? Who is the Lord of Kali City—you or him?"
"I..." Mei Gongzi hesitated, feeling overwhelmed by the White Tiger Demon Emperor's powerful aura, which left her at a loss for words.
Neither Mei Gongzi nor Tang San had known about the rule that those not of the demon or nymph races were not allowed to become Emperors. But at this moment, they both understood that what the White Tiger Demon Emperor said was true. He had no reason to lie.
The Peacock Great Demon King had never told Mei Gongzi about this, and it was likely that he didn’t know it himself. This was likely something only Emperors were aware of. The previous Peacock Demon Emperor certainly wouldn’t have anticipated that her descendants would have the bloodline of another race and still have the potential to become Emperors.
Tang San looked at the White Tiger Demon Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, we were indeed unaware of this rule. But now that Little Mei has inherited the position of city lord and is the leader of the Peacock Demon clan, what path should she take? Do you have any suggestions?"
The White Tiger Demon Emperor replied indifferently, "My suggestion is to extract the human bloodline from her, so she can truly become a demon. Only then will there be a chance to preserve everything. Don’t think that the Ancestral Court is unaware of what you’re doing in Kali City. The Ancestral Court’s intelligence network is more extensive than you can imagine. Establishing a human settlement in Kali City has already violated one of the Ancestral Court’s greatest taboos. Do you realize that?"
Tang San felt a chill in his heart. The fact that the White Tiger Demon Emperor had spoken these words showed just how much the demons feared this issue.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor looked at Mei Gongzi and said, "What’s most severe is that every single member of the Ancestral Court knows about this, but not one of them has mentioned it, and it hasn’t been brought up in any of the Ancestral Court's meetings. Do you know what that means? It means that this matter is so unanimously agreed upon that it doesn’t even warrant discussion. And yet, with what you’re doing now, you hope to just report your status and be accepted? That’s nothing but a fool’s dream."
Even Tang San's expression changed slightly. Although he knew that the Ancestral Court was hostile toward humans, he hadn’t expected that even a slight guiding hand for the humans would provoke such a strong reaction. The White Tiger Demon Emperor was only so forthright because of his blood relation to Mei Gongzi, which showed how serious the situation was.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor declared decisively, "Abandon any rash hopes and motives. If you want to secure your position as city lord, then first, the status of humans in Kali City must return to what it was originally. Second, you will voluntarily propose to the Ancestral Court that your human bloodline be extracted, and fully embrace the bloodline of the Peacock Demon clan and mine. If you do this, I can support you, and I’m confident I can persuade some of the Emperors to back you. In the future, it’s not impossible for you to become an Emperor, especially since a few of the current Emperors are getting on in years."
"That will not happen."
As she said this, Mei Gongzi didn’t look at Tang San. Her pretty face was filled with determination as she looked the White Tiger Demon Emperor in the eye.
