Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

"I never imagined he'd come to this!"

The Demon Lord was secretly alarmed.

He originally held the Demon Lord Chonglou in contempt, thinking that it was just a case of a time without heroes, which allowed a nobody to become famous.

But now all that remains is a deep sense of apprehension.

However, he remained extremely indifferent, and he raised his hand to take two streams of demonic energy from Ning Ke's body.

They chanted ancient demonic incantations, then unleashed great magical power to tear open the demon realm.

This time, a hole the size of a large bowl suddenly appeared.

On the other side is a vibrant human world.

"go!"

The Demon Lord raised his hand and knocked Ning Ke into it, then closed the passage, his face looking very grim.

Once upon a time, he was the king of the demon realm.

I never imagined that I would be subject to the control of a younger generation.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to be angry.

The real task is to use one's own demonic thoughts to sense the demonic seed and assist Ning Ke's soul in merging into the little princess's body.

The Demon Lord Chonglou sat on his throne, his eyes able to see through heaven and earth.

He naturally knew that the Demon Lord wanted to open the passage between heaven and earth, tearing the space between the Demon Realm and the human world.

He hadn't expected the Demon Lord to be so weak without his demonic heart.

I had originally intended to test the waters, but now I don't even have the intention to do so.

"However... his daughter seems to be somewhat unusual!"

Chonglou closed his eyes and began to ponder.

There was a familiar aura about Ning Ke.

But this was the first time he had ever met this person.

It can only be said that this person is hiding some secrets.

……

In a side room in the backyard of the Dugu family, the young princess, after suffering for several days, finally breathed her last.

Officials from the Dugu family in the capital went to prepare for the funeral.

Inside the palace, someone also went to inform the Empress.

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace, the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang, the second son of the emperor, were waiting.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, His Majesty has summoned us. Why has His Majesty been so late?"

Yang Su looked at Yang Guang and asked a question.

The others also looked over.

The emperor summoned them, but when they arrived, the emperor was nowhere to be seen, which made them somewhat puzzled.

"The young princess of the Dugu family has passed away. His Majesty and the Empress have gone to pay their respects. We will wait here for a while."

Yang Guang conveyed the message of Emperor Yang Jian.

The nine elders looked at each other, slightly surprised.

They had also heard of that young princess.

Some of them were even taken to see a doctor.

But as the saying goes, medicine can't cure all diseases, and Buddha only helps those who are destined to be saved.

The young princess was beyond help with medicine, and they were helpless.

It's a real shame.

"Your Highness is also this young princess's uncle, why don't you go with His Majesty?"

Yang Su asked a question.

Yang Guang's eyes turned cold as he glanced at him. "What's the point of doing this when the person is already dead?"

Upon hearing this, the other eight people exchanged bewildered glances.

Is it really that Yang Guang was unwilling to engage in such social niceties?

Yang Su showed no anger whatsoever.

Because he failed to retrieve Yuwen Tuo, Yang Jian, though he didn't say anything, has not valued him as much lately.

He doesn't usually give as many instructions as others.

Everyone below was eyeing his position.

How can I justify not making plans for myself?

He had offended many people in the past, and once he lost power, those people would gang up on him.

This Prince of Jin was born with a heart of stone and was emotionally detached.

These days, he also harbored resentment because the Sui Dynasty had established Yang Yong as crown prince but not him.

Perhaps the two of them could join forces.

Thinking of this, Yang Su chimed in, "What the Prince of Jin said makes sense, and it's quite original."

Upon hearing Yang Su's words, Yang Guang's lips twitched, and he managed to force a smile.

At this moment, a mourning hall was being set up in front of the Dugu family's house.

The servants were busy laying out the white silk.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

As a burst of drumming music sounded, a shrill voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the servants at the door immediately knelt down in a panic.

The carriages of the emperor and empress appeared.

Someone had already gone to inform the head of the Dugu family.

The emperor and empress alighted from the carriage, and without waiting for announcements, the empress went inside first.

She was from the Dugu family, so she was naturally very familiar with the family.

The emperor raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased, but he knew the empress was acting this way because she was anxious.

As I walked into the flower hall, an old man came out to greet me.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Empress!"

"Father, Ning Ke, how is she? How could she have died!"

The empress stepped forward and helped the old man up.

This person is her father, the head of the Dugu family.

However, she asked Ning Ke.

This little princess's name is also Ning Ke, and she is an innocent and carefree girl.

He was intelligent and was highly favored by the Dugu family.

The Empress also frequently summoned her to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Ning Ke... Ning Ke is not dead."

"What?"

The Empress looked bewildered.

News has just entered the palace to inform the Empress that the young princess has died.

The Empress then came with the Emperor to offer their condolences.

How come they're saying he's not dead now?

"Father-in-law, what is the meaning of this?"

The emperor stepped forward and sized up his father-in-law.

"Your Majesty, Ning Ke is seriously ill, and no medicine can cure her."

"We thought it was cruel of heaven to take her away, but she suddenly stopped breathing just now, and everyone was saddened."

"Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events. She has just come back to life and is cured."

The head of the Dugu family was overjoyed and explained the matter clearly and logically.

The emperor and empress exchanged a glance, quite surprised.

"Such a strange thing! Father, take me to see it!"

"Your Majesty, please! Your Majesty, please!"

The head of the Dugu family responded and led the way.

They led the emperor and empress to the backyard, to the young princess's room.

At this time, many people were checking on Ning Ke's condition inside the room.

Ning Ke responded intermittently, her voice weak, as if she were extremely tired.

However, no one suspected anything.

It's normal for the young princess to be weak after being ill for several days.

A maid was bringing her ginseng soup, preparing to give it to her.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

Someone sang a song, and the people inside immediately knelt down.

The emperor, empress, and the head of the Dugu family entered.

Ning Ke, lying on the bed, had a glint in her eyes and struggled to get off.

"Ning Ke!"

The Empress stepped forward and helped her up. Although her complexion was not good, the spirit in her eyes was much different from before.

"Your Majesty!"

Ning Ke uttered these two words.

"You child, you scared me to death."

"The Emperor has come to see you too, hurry up and pay your respects!"

The Empress gently stroked Ning Ke's hair, then reminded her to pay her respects to the Emperor.

"She has been ill for a long time; there's no need for this."

The emperor waved his hand, naturally not allowing a little girl, despite her illness, to bow to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Ke thanked him in a hoarse voice.

"Thanks to Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress's good fortune, the doctor just came to see her and said that the child is fine now, but she is still very weak. It seems that she has lost her vitality these days and needs to rest well."

A woman offered an explanation.
