Chapter 1033 (Normal Smoke)
At this moment, the crow was still trembling. He had also witnessed the power of the Mystical Fire; indeed, it was mighty! If only he had a Mystical Fire himself.
Unfortunately, he didn't. As a Supreme Overlord, he surprisingly lacked a Mystical Fire.
The crow had attained the "Supreme" through a fortuitous encounter, but others had straightforwardly advanced.
However, breaking through to the Supreme Overlord required the assistance of a Mystical Fire, so almost all Supreme Overlords possessed one.
Now, the crow faced two choices.
First, report this matter to the Emperor. Ye Hua's current strength was formidable, and he already knew that the crow was cooperating with the Emperor of the Demon Capital.
Second, choose to trust Ye Hua and gain freedom.
Crow felt the second option was more reliable. If Ye Hua wanted to kill him, he would have done so just now without waiting.
As for the first scenario, the Emperor didn't seem likely to forgive him easily, so he chose the second option, hoping his decision was correct.
In the face of absolute strength, not bowing down was impossible!
At this moment, Ye Hua arrived at the abyss, where souls were abundant. Outside, these souls were precious, but inside the abyss, they were as ordinary as street-side pebbles.
Surrounded by red magma, black rocks, and countless wailing souls, Ye Hua casually grabbed one.
A seemingly female soul was in his hands, trembling in fear of Ye Hua.
Feeling that this soul was quite obedient, Ye Hua decided—she was the one!
When the promise was made, Ye Hua would surely fulfil it.
Grabbing the soul, Ye Hua slowly closed his eyes, found the coordinates, and appeared directly over the Demon Capital!
Looking at the vast city below, Ye Hua felt it was no different from the Spirit City, bustling and prosperous.
He thought the Demon Capital would be like a purgatory, but it turned out to be like this, a bit disappointing.
As it was already late at night, there were fewer people on the streets, with only some drunkards staggering around and a few brothel girls waving their hands to attract customers.
Ye Hua didn't think too much about it and went directly to the largest mansion in the city, which should be the one.
Entering a garden, Ye Hua saw some maids taking care of a mentally challenged woman. The woman behaved like a child, running around in the garden and not resting.
The maids were in distress.
Ye Hua waved his hand, and all the maids fainted, while the woman paused for a moment before continuing to play, showing no reaction.
"Go." Ye Hua released his hand, and the soul looked at him with confusion but flew towards the woman without hesitation.
For the woman, gaining a soul meant having a body. Both were complementary states.
Ye Hua stood by and watched. The woman's body shook suddenly, then she fainted.
Ye Hua's hand emitted a dazzling white light, enveloping the woman. Before long, they completely merged.
"How... how did I end up here?" The woman shook her head, sat up, and then frowned at Ye Hua. "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Ye Hua smoked, gazing at the night sky. "I promised your husband to cure you."
"I..." The woman was about to say something when memories flooded back, finally understanding how she had spent these many years.
After a long while, the woman bowed to Ye Hua and said, "Thank you."
Ye Hua seemed to enjoy hearing those words; being thanked felt good.
He responded with a nod and reminded, "Something significant is about to happen soon. It's better for you to continue feigning illness, understand?"
"Alright... I understand. You can rest assured," she replied.
Ye Hua was satisfied with the woman's attitude; she was a sensible person. He disliked those who weren't sensible and bothered him every day, like Qian Yuqing.
"From now on, you'll be the Empress," Ye Hua said with a slight smile, then disappeared from the garden, leaving behind a woman full of astonishment.
'Empress? Did this man just say he wanted me to be the Empress? How could that be possible?!'
'Could it be that my husband is going to…?!!'
Thinking about this, the woman started to worry. 'Husband, please don't mess around!'
Tonight, Ye Hua had several things to do, and now he had one last stop.
That was the imperial palace in the Demon Capital, to kill someone!
Who? Of course, it was the emperor of the Demon Capital. If this emperor didn't die, how could Jing Tiandi ascend to power?
The Demon Capital's imperial palace was quite distinctive, situated on the mountains, emphasising the royal symbol.
Not bad, not bad, a good idea.
If Ye Hua were to rate it, the imperial palace on the Demon Capital side had a bit more character than the one on the Spirit City side.
Ye Hua directly arrived at the Emperor's sleeping chamber. Of course, he had to wear a mask, as he was here to kill, not to chat.
However, Ye Hua felt a bit awkward after arriving because it seemed like this Emperor was in the middle of copulation.
Hearing such sounds, Ye Hua couldn't help but reminisce about Qing Ya and Baizhi. It seemed like he had abstained for a very long time. After finishing these matters, he planned to rest well.
Ye Hua sat on the side, waiting quietly.
After all, it was a man's dying moments. Let them enjoy their last pleasure. Otherwise, people would say he wasn't reasonable, interrupting even during such intimate moments.
Smoking a cigarette, Ye Hua silently waited.
As time passed, Ye Hua's cigarette butts accumulated at his feet, yet the sounds in his ears continued.
This irritated Ye Hua.
"My love, do you smell something?" Ye Hua heard the Emperor's inquiring voice; it seemed he had caught a whiff of Ye Hua's cigarette.
"Your Majesty, it's the masculine scent you exude." A coquettish voice echoed, making Ye Hua's goosebumps appear.
"Wait for me, I'll get up and check."
"Your Majesty~ hurry, I still want~"
"You little enchantress, I'll satisfy you later~"
Ye Hua shook his head. 'You're the first one to make me wait like this, destined to die!'
The Emperor noticed a green smoke pervading the ceiling, feeling as if it were on fire. However, the smell wasn't like a fire; it was foul and nauseating, definitely shortening one's lifespan.
But soon, the Emperor saw Ye Hua's figure, and his gaze revealed astonishment.
Ye Hua threw the cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished it, then stood up. "You must be the Emperor here."
"Who are you? How did you get in? Is this poisonous smoke?" The alarmed Emperor questioned sharply, suspecting that the intruder had released poison. How despicable!
Ye Hua chuckled, "Poisonous smoke? This is just normal smoke."
"Don't talk nonsense; if this Emperor says it's poisonous smoke, then it is poisonous smoke."
Ye Hua felt that this Emperor was a fake, a bit weaker compared to Huang Fei.
