Chapter 1053: Rain

The sky was gloomy with a faint sound of thunder. It was going to rain soon.

Chen Rui looked up at the dark clouds in the sky with a thoughtful expression.

“Why? Are you still missing your Royal Majesty Empress? By the way, now Her Highness should be just a princess, and now there are still 21 days before Raizen passes the throne.” A melodious voice sounded, “I just want to remind you that it is impolite to think about another woman while talking to a woman.”

“You’re thinking too much. I’m just thinking about some problems.” Chen Rui shrugged. The most stupid thing was to mention another woman in front of a woman, especially since these 2 women were still in some kind of ‘competition’. Although Tiffany was no match for this person in any way, because she was the Demon Realm’s top beauty and the Demon Realm’s top sage.

This ‘top’ might not be absolute, but at least, she was recognized by the vast majority of people.

The Dark Shadow Empire’s empress, Catherine. Asmodeus.

“I see.” Catherine smiled slightly and didn’t ask any further. She was a smart woman who knew not to overdo things. For example, reminding him would be enough. If she kept nitpicking on it, it would only backfire.

“En… I’m thinking, Satan will definitely not stop there. Although I have strengthened the defenses, I can only play a certain defensive role against the enemies of the Demi-God level. In front of a peak stage of the Pseudo-God, these are almost useless. Once Satan is there, I have no effective way. Maybe I can only wait for Python to wake up to compete with him. The problem is that I cannot control the time of her awakening.”

“If Satan arrives early, we can show weakness to delay. The most important thing is that no matter what kind of enemy we face, we must not relax at any time, which is the key to victory.” Catherine also looked up at the sky, “I think the mysterious training you mentioned can be started as soon as possible.”

Chen Rui heard the meaning of Catherine’s words, “Are you going too?”

“I’ve arranged everything.” Catherine nodded, “Don’t you think my strength has reached a bottleneck now?”

“I was actually feeling incredible. In the martial battle competition, your strength has not yet reached the intermediate stage of Kingdom level. You only defeated Red Pipit by tricks, and now you are at the peak stage of the Kingdom level! If Red Pipit sees this, even his 3 hearts will jump out in fear.”

“The word ‘incredible’ sounds a bit insincere.” Catherine sighed deliberately, “I heard that Zola is about to enter the intermediate stage of the Demi-God, and she has become the goddess of the ancient inheritance world. Meanwhile, you yourself have the strength to fight against Pseudo-God. Is this hitting me in the face?”

“How could I be willing to hit you in the face?” Chen Rui looked at the extremely beautiful face. His eyes moved to the 2 rosy lips, and he couldn’t help thinking of a scene in the palace last night. A flame rose from his lower abdomen.

Catherine seemed to sense what he was thinking, and a blush quickly smeared on her face. She rolled her eyes at him with amorous feelings that made a certain guy feel more and more impulsive. However, Her Majesty Empress tactfully changed the subject immediately, “Giving birth to Duoduo has given me a very special power. I feel that I have only absorbed and digested a part of this power. If it is all integrated, my power will be even greater. Not only that, ‘Nirvana’ is Asmodeus’ most powerful talent. The higher the strength, the stronger the effect, especially since I have achieved Nirvana 5 times, so my training speed is much faster than the average person. Besides, your power of [Star-level Enhancement] and star conferring has also played a powerful role in advancement. I actually control the progress deliberately now. If I want to solidify the foundation step by step, actual combat is the best way to control and integrate the power.”

Chen Rui nodded. ‘Nirvana’ was indeed the most powerful talent of the Asmodeus Royal Family, but it was also the most difficult and dangerous. He had personally experienced Catherine’s 5th Nirvana. If it was not for Duoduo’s protection, not only Catherine, even he would also be annihilated together.

Duoduo… actually has such a powerful power, what kind of existence is the phoenix?

Catherine put her hand in his palm, “Even if I don’t have these, I will strive to train and be your helper like Zola just to increase your strength. I’m not only an empress of the Dark Shadow Empire, I’m also your woman.”

Chen Rui held her hand and felt a wave of warmth flowing through his heart. Whether it was Zola, Shea, Catherine or others, they all had the same mind, which was the biggest driving force for him to move forward.

“Uh, can I invite my Royal Majesty Empress to go for a walk in the Green Mist Mountain in the suburbs? People said that it is a good place to watch the rain.” Chen Rui kissed the back of her hand and made an invitation etiquette.

“Is it compensation for thinking about other women before?” Catherine blinked playfully. In front of this man, she didn’t need to wear a veil or a ‘mask’, so she was more relaxed and joyful.

“Of course not, it’s just an impromptu romantic trip. Ugh, or an idea that has always been in my mind.”

“Why does it feel like you are exposing your own excuse?” Catherine said with a smile, “However, I’m honored to accept this invitation, my… um, someone else’s Royal Highness Prince Consort.”

The title of the last sentence ‘someone else’s Royal Highness Prince Consort’ obviously corresponds to the previous ‘my Royal Majesty Empress’. Chen Rui was sweating profusely. Seeing the appearance of the Royal Highness Prince Consort, Her Majesty Empress smiled and kissed his face lightly, “Before that, please allow your woman to change clothes, father of the child.”

This title and tone were full of warmth. Chen Rui’s speechlessness was filled with warmth. When he saw Catherine smiling while walking away, he couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

Because he was really thinking about Tiffany just now.

He still remembered the scene clearly to this day.

Raizen’s announcement was truly astonishing. It shocked the entire Demon Realm.

The former top powerhouse, Raizen. Mammon, the supreme ruler of the Bloody Empire, was about to abdicate the throne! And the throne would be handed over to his daughter who ‘suddenly’ appeared!

Not only that, but this daughter would be married to Prince Consort ‘Aguile’ of the Fallen Angel Empire’s Empress Shea!

These 3 news were all explosive.

The name ‘Tiffany’ was no stranger to some of the upper noble families of the Bloody Empire. It was said that this mysterious noble lady once won the favor of the deceased Prince Edmund and Teris. They even caused the famous ‘banquet assassination’ because of jealousy.

For the vast majority of the population, Raizen’s sentence of ‘she is my biological daughter’ on the television was equivalent to absolutely recognizing the identity of the princess although Raizen did not mention who the mother of the princess was. There were also many people who speculated that the mysterious ‘imperial concubine’ might not be a member of the royal family, so he had hidden Tiffany’s identity for so many years. Then again, which royal family didn’t have similar secrets?

Therefore, there was no problem with Tiffany’s identity. Although the decision of passing the throne had caused a lot of domestic turmoil, under the means prepared by Raizen for many years and long ago, the voice of opposition was soon eliminated. It could be said that no one dared to question Raizen’s decision to pass the throne.

In fact, Raizen had several children, but most of them were not successful. They were far less outstanding than the deceased Aleus, Edmund, and Teris. After the death of the 3, some of them had fluke expectations. Now they had come to nothing with the decision announced by Raizen.

The last news was also booming. For the royal family, political marriage was not surprising, but the marriage object of the Bloody Empire’s empress was actually ‘Aguile’!

As a man who once shocked the whole Demon Realm, the story of ‘Aguile’ was already very well-known. In addition to the identity of super powerhouse and duo-specialized grand master, this mysterious figure also had the most eye-catching identity – The prince consort of the Fallen Angel Empire’s Empress Shea and the lover of The Dark Shadow Empire’s Empress Catherine (They even had a daughter). Now, coupled with the empress of the Bloody Empire who was about to enthrone…

What is going on?

The prince consort was similar to the queen. Originally, it was supposed to be just an accessory. From what had been disclosed so far, ‘Aguile’ was the only male spouse of Shea and Catherine. Then it meant that this guy had opened a harem that made all men jealous and hate; he took all 3 empresses into his arms!

The legendary unconcealable domination?

However, most people had noticed that Raizen’s move was definitely a good move for the Bloody Empire under the general trend of the alliance.

Although the alliance structure of the 3 empires’ alliance had been decided, it was only a temporary alliance rather than a real whole empire after all. The Dark Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire were undoubtedly more closely related because of their mutual lover ‘Aguile’. The key character, Aguile, was too crucial. Even if his personal strength was not taken into account, his unpredictable talent alone had an incomparably powerful control and influence over the entire association. The economic storm that shocked the entire Demon Realm was the best example. At that time, the Dark Shadow Empire and the Bloody Empire almost collapsed because of it.

If there was any change in the association, there was no guarantee that the terrifying situation or even more unpredictable situations would not happen again. The first victim would definitely be the Bloody Empire.

Now that Raizen had passed the throne to Princess Tiffany, then Empress Tiffany would marry ‘Aguile’, in a sense, the 3 empires were back on the same starting line. It was also a reassurance for the people of the Bloody Empire.

Although there was the support of the people and the strong suppression of Raizen, Tiffany’s ascending the throne should not be a problem, but the next test she would encounter would be more and more difficult. She could only face it on her own.

What impressed Chen Rui the most was Raizen’s first conversation with Tiffany in the palace, and the words added up to only 4 sentences.

“Are you sure you’re ready?”

“I’m still alive.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Anything that doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger; whatever pain and sorrow I suffer now will become my greatest strength in the future.”

When Tiffany answered the last sentence, she just looked directly at Raizen without looking at Chen Rui. However, Chen Rui knew that she was looking at him.

Just as Tiffany nodded coldly when he left the Bloody Empire, but actually her mind had sent him far.

Tiffany didn’t have any special affection for him. It was more of trust and gratitude. At least he was already a friend- According to a dead duck dragon’s ‘heterosexual friend’ theory, the scumbag male protagonist had already succeeded.

Anyway, Tiffany, you must stand up and walk forward.

The thoughts of memories were quickly interrupted as Catherine had already changed her clothes. It was different from the usual elegant and solemn black theme. This was a light blue low-cut tight-fitting long skirt, which outlined a perfect figure. She looked sexy, charming, and especially eye-catching.

Chen Rui’s eyes lit up, but his brows wrinkled, “Will this be too… er, a little revealing?”

“Revealing? It’s quite alright.”

“Actually… I think this dress is more suitable for enjoying alone…”

“Are all men so petty?” Catherine smiled sweetly, and a cloak was already in her hand. She draped it over her seductive body, and her face was covered with a thin veil. Her sexy temperament suddenly became mysterious elegance, “Is that all right, sir husband— Is that the title in the story you told last time?”.

“That’s right, madam wife.” Chen Rui stretched out his arm, and Catherine gently held it. The 2 smiled at each other and disappeared instantly.

The rain began to fall.
