It's time to become a fairy.

Kindness is often taken advantage of, and a good horse is often ridden. Among the demon race, this phenomenon is even less concealed than among humans, making it far more blatant. Su Qing'er's identity is special, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven wouldn't bother to explain it. He hasn't summoned her recently, and given her naturally introverted personality, she's easily bullied.

She straightened up, tapped her fingers heavily on the table, and said, "Is this all I'm given to eat?"

"This is all the breakfast the kitchen prepared for Miss today."

The maid was slightly surprised by Ye Qingge's change, but the old influences remained, and she explained impatiently.

If it were Su Qing'er, she probably wouldn't continue after sensing the impatience of others. However, Ye Qingge sneered, crossed her arms, leaned forward, and gave off a sense of oppressive aura: "I remember when I came here, I didn't eat these... Do you want me to go and ask the Great Sage Equaling Heaven what's going on?"

The maid's eyes widened in panic; she clearly hadn't expected Ye Qingge to suddenly become so assertive.

Ye Qingge was brought back by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven would not explain anything to the maid, and she did not know what the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's attitude was towards Ye Qingge. It was fine before Su Qing'er was not assertive, but now that she was assertive, she lost her composure.

Ye Qingge took in her expression and said coldly, "Have the kitchen make me a new breakfast. I don't want to see this again."

The maid felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly picked up the tray again, filled the food, and hurried out. Only after leaving Ye Qingge's room did she feel the pressure on her body ease and let out a sigh of relief.

But soon, she became suspicious again: "Why is the young lady so scary today? She wasn't like this before... Could it be that she was faking it before?"

As if she had thought of something, she couldn't help but shiver and dared not think any further.

Of course, she didn't know that Ye Qingge's aura was largely learned from when she was possessed by the Empress. Although skills cannot be learned, some of the memories of her aura and habits remain. By acting according to those memories, coupled with the suppression of her identity, she can easily deal with the maids.

"You have to be assertive when dealing with these maids, otherwise they'll bully you at will."

Ye Qingge gave her instructions.

"I understand," Su Qing'er replied, but she was clearly not used to the situation.

Ye Qingge shook her head and didn't insist. She glanced at Su Qing'er's personal panel.

Name: Su Qing'er

[Bloodline: Heavenly Emperor Bloodline, Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Bloodline]

[Cultivation Level: Dao Realm, Second Heaven]

[Skills: Charm (Great Perfection), Demon God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial Fox Demon Fire (Great Perfection), Soul Devouring Technique (Great Perfection)...]

[Status: Sealed (Strength reduced by 70% in all aspects, normal cultivation level remains at the Refinement of Void and Integration of Dao realm)]

"You've broken through to the second level of the Dao Realm?"

Ye Qingge was surprised, but upon closer reflection, she realized that the Soul Devouring Technique could indeed accomplish these things.

The food Su Qing'er ate in the past was not as good as what she ate here. Given Su Qing'er's background, it was obviously not because she couldn't afford it, but because her parents must have had special considerations. Ye Qingge didn't know the specifics.

After arriving here, she was initially fed the best food. The Soul Devouring Technique itself has the effect of extracting spiritual energy from things. With the Soul Devouring Technique at its peak and Su Qing'er's original cultivation level at the peak of the first heaven, it was not impossible for her to break through in just one month.

She chatted slowly with Su Qing'er, and from Su Qing'er, she learned about what Su Qing'er had experienced over the past month.

Aside from the initial meeting, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven did not make any further appearances, but he prepared for the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly the day after tomorrow and sent invitations to the other eight great demon saints.

Based on the system task and Su Qing'er's description, the gathering of the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly should have been convened under Su Qing'er's identity. In addition, considering the other aspects of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's behavior mentioned in Su Qing'er's words, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's intentions are probably not simple, and he may very well want to use Su Qing'er's identity to do something.

Besides, there's also the issue of Su Qing'er's personality. The difference between Ye Qingge's personality when crossing the river and Su Qing'er's couldn't have gone unnoticed by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, meaning... he might very well know about Su Qing'er's other side.

"Su Qing'er, are you aware of your other side of personality?"

Ye Qingge suddenly asked a question.

Su Qing'er remained silent for a while before saying, "I don't know much about that personality either. It first appeared about ten years ago. My mother told me about it, and that's all I know."

Ye Qingge seemed lost in thought, and continued chatting with Su Qing'er in a disjointed manner.

Five minutes later, there was a knock at the door. After receiving Ye Qingge's permission, the maid carefully entered with a tray and placed a completely different breakfast in front of Ye Qingge.

It was still porridge, but it was clearly not left out like before; it was freshly cooked. The rice was obviously no ordinary rice, emitting a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy and a refreshing aroma. The minced meat floating on top was also not ordinary demon beast meat. The side dishes were also not ordinary. When the lid of the breakfast quilt was opened, the spiritual energy in the air became much denser.

"Miss, this is today's breakfast. Please have your meal."

The maid said cautiously.

Ye Qingge patted her on the shoulder: "Well done, that's more like it. You can leave now."

The maid was somewhat flattered, gave a nod, and withdrew.

After carefully examining the food and confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Ye Qingge picked up her utensils and began to eat.

As the warm feeling spread throughout her body, Ye Qingge felt much more relaxed, and began to ponder what she needed to do next.

"The second part of the system's mission is obviously based on the upcoming Ten Thousand Demons Conference. As long as you perform well at the conference, the bonus will be high. What we need to pay attention to now is the first point: there will be dangerous events before and after the conference."

"There's still a little over a day until the conference, and each day will only begin then. Given the system's nature, it obviously won't give me much time. Something will definitely happen every day, or it will give me an extra day to prepare. The dangers that will follow are extremely high. No matter which task it is, I need to gather sufficient information and be well-prepared."

"Although Su Qing'er has stayed for a month, she doesn't know much. In terms of understanding the territory of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven definitely knows the most. Perhaps we can talk to him directly later to learn more about the situation and formulate a response plan. We can also test the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's true intentions to see if he has any improper thoughts!"

“The original Su Qing’er might not have done this, but judging from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven’s behavior, he clearly knows about Su Qing’er’s other side, so using this to cover it up should work… Before that, I need to get to know Su Qing’er’s other side again, to understand her personality and actions so that I don’t reveal any flaws…”

Countless thoughts surged in his mind, gradually forming the outline of a plan. Ye Qingge began to circulate the Primordial Dao Scripture and break the seal.

Once it was almost time, she activated the Heavenly God Transformation. Soon after, she sensed a change in Su Qing'er's consciousness.

Chapter 28 Facing the Demon Saint

In the heat of battle, Ye Qingge hadn't paid close attention. Now, having calmed down, she could clearly sense the changes in her opponent's consciousness, a gradual transformation that, within just a few breaths, had given way to a completely different feeling.

"As expected, I'm the one who has to take charge in crucial moments... Why is it you again?"

Another female voice was about to say something when it sensed Ye Qingge's presence and suddenly changed its tone: "How did you take control of my body? Get out of here!"

A sense of resistance came from the other person's consciousness. The female voice was obviously still bothered by what happened when they first met, and seemed to want to use her consciousness to expel herself from the body. However, the other person was obviously not Su Qing'er's original body and did not have enough control over the body, so she could not affect Ye Qingge at all.

Ye Qingge said calmly, "I have something important to discuss with you."

The woman's voice sneered repeatedly: "There's no point in talking to a robber like you."

The resistance from the other consciousness grew stronger, clearly indicating no intention to communicate. Ye Qingge couldn't help but sigh. Since normal methods failed to communicate, she would have to resort to some special methods.

After a moment's hesitation, she placed her hand on her leg and gently touched it.

The other consciousness could also clearly feel this sensation, and the original resistance vanished instantly. The female voice cried out in terror, "What are you going to do, you pervert!"

Having grown accustomed to the woman's voice, Ye Qingge said calmly, "Can we have a proper talk now?"

"..."

After a moment of intense internal turmoil, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "You're ruthless!"

Ten minutes later

After a friendly exchange with the woman, Ye Qingge finished the last bit of porridge and side dishes and put down her utensils.

Realizing she couldn't expel Ye Qingge, and considering Ye Qingge's previous actions, the woman finally calmed down and began to talk to Ye Qingge. Although she was still not very cooperative most of the time, Ye Qingge had already analyzed the information she wanted from the woman's words.

The woman's name was Su Qingya. In fact, Su Qingya originally shared the same name as Su Qing'er, but she changed her name to distinguish herself from the other.

Since Su Qingya became conscious, she was born at least ten years ago. The specific reason for her birth is unknown. She only has the opportunity to take control of her body when she encounters insurmountable difficulties and crises.

Her strength is also formidable. Su Qing'er has relied on her help throughout her journey. With her cultivation at the first level of the Dao Realm, she is capable of fighting against someone at the second level of the Dao Realm. If she were to use the Heavenly Divine Transformation, she would be even stronger. If she were to unleash her full power, she might actually have a chance to kill a first-level Dao Realm immortal in a short time.

"She is very strong, but her personality is a bit reckless and arrogant. She loses face after being defeated once. She needs to be nurtured; she might become the next empress."

Ye Qingge made her own assessment, having completely suppressed the strange phenomena of the Heavenly God Transformation and exited the state of the Heavenly God Transformation.

Su Qingya didn't have a good impression of her. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, she was too lazy to continue communicating with the uncooperative Su Qingya. Wouldn't it be better to bully the soft and sweet Su Qing'er?

Setting down her cutlery, Ye Qingge took a deep breath, composed herself, recalled the Empress's appearance, adjusted her demeanor, stood up, and pushed open the door to leave.

The maid was still standing outside the door, lost in thought. When she saw Ye Qingge come out, she was startled and quickly lowered her head, saying, "Miss, have you finished your meal?"

Ye Qingge nodded and said, "Take me to see the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."

The maid was startled, a look of fear flashing in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "Miss, I..."

"This is not your business."

Ye Qingge waved her hand. She had only been scareming the maid when she was disciplining her. It was no small matter to bother the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a wary look in her eyes. She said respectfully, "Whether the Great Sage can see Miss still needs to be asked of his superiors. Please wait a moment, Miss."

Ye Qingge nodded, and the maid relaxed a little, then used a secret method to contact the steward in the Demon Saint Palace.

She quickly raised her head and said, "The Great Sage happens to be free and is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

"lead the way."

Ye Qingge's tone was concise.

The maidservant responded respectfully and walked about half a body length away from Ye Qingge, pointing out the way for her.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's palace was very large, with many places decorated with carpets made of powerful demon beast hides and skeletons. The buildings, made of demon beast materials, were very well done, and there was no attempt to conceal the raw materials in many places. Compared to the interior, the entire palace gave Ye Qingge a much more pronounced sense of wildness.

After wandering through the palace for half an hour, the maid finally stopped in front of an open palace and said respectfully, "Great Sage, the young lady has arrived."

"Come in."

A calm voice rang out, and Ye Qingge entered in response. She saw a young man dressed in brocade robes sitting in the hall reviewing documents. Upon seeing Ye Qingge's arrival, he said without looking up, "Princess, you've come... Princess Qingya?"

Suddenly sensing something, he looked up and glanced at Ye Qingge in surprise.

Ye Qingge nodded.

The young man's expression became much more serious, and he said to the guards beside him who were helping him organize the documents, "You may all leave."

The guards nodded knowingly, went outside, and closed the door.

Suddenly, only Ye Qingge and the two demons, Pingtian Dasheng, remained in the room. The patterns of the array on the door flowed, isolating the sounds inside, so that no one outside could hear what was happening inside.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven then put down the documents he was reviewing and said, "Princess Qingya, what brings you here?"

"I've heard that the Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Demons is the day after tomorrow. I'd like to know about the current situation of the demon race."

Ye Qingge did not hide anything and directly stated her purpose.

Regardless of whether the Great Sage Equaling Heaven harbors ambitions, he certainly wouldn't openly target her. She could use this opportunity to test the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's bottom line and prepare for what was to come.

"In truth, it was my oversight that I failed to inform Princess Qingya of the matter in a timely manner."

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven pondered for a moment, then said in a slightly solemn voice, "The demon race today is nothing like the twelve demon saints when Consort Su ruled the demon race. Since Consort Su passed away, the overall strength and cohesion have declined considerably."

"Now, including myself, there are only nine Great Saints of the Demon Race left, along with hundreds of Demon Gods of varying sizes. There are too many to list them all. If Your Highness really wants to know, here is a list of powerful Demon Race members. You can take a look and find out."

"This Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Demons is the perfect opportunity to enhance the cohesion of the demon race. And more importantly, I have obtained something of great importance."

Ye Qingge asked in confusion, "What is that?"
