The tension between the demon clan and the dragon clan was palpable, ready to explode at any moment.
Onlookers held their breath, retreating a safe distance away to avoid being caught in the conflict.
High above, the Jade Pool Empress watched indifferently.
As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, she was supposed to maintain order and prevent such battles from happening.
But these haughty empresses no longer respected the Heavenly Court.
She no longer cared to waste her breath.
The responsibilities and duties of the Heavenly Court, upheld for ages, no longer interested her.
Let the arrogant dragons and the haughty demons fight until both were severely injured.
Her only concern now was the whereabouts of her husband's soul-nurturing bottle.
As for everything else, she had lost interest.
However, just as everyone thought the battle was inevitable, Long Xiaoxiao, who had been glaring at Gongsun Yajiu, suddenly withdrew her killing intent, a look of sudden realization crossing her face.
Gongsun Yajiu was slightly surprised but maintained a calm, teasing smile. "My dear sister, what has made you so happy all of a sudden? Why not share it with your sister to lighten her mood?"
"Hahaha… Demoness, stop pretending!" Long Xiaoxiao's face lit up with a smile of extreme satisfaction.
"I finally understand! Haha, I finally understand!"
Gongsun Yajiu's expression tensed, not understanding why Long Xiaoxiao was so excited.
What did she understand? Had she gone mad?
Not only was Gongsun Yajiu confused, but so were the others, thinking the Dragon Empress had lost her mind.
Long Guang looked at Long Xiaoxiao with worry.
If Long Xiaoxiao had indeed lost her sanity, the dragon clan would lose all hope of revival.
Just as everyone thought the Dragon Empress had completely lost her mind, Long Xiaoxiao's gaze fixed intensely on Gongsun Yajiu.
"Demoness, I finally understand why you've done and said all these things!"
"You're jealous of me!"
"You're jealous of Master's care for me, jealous of his love, jealous of everything he's done for me!"
"And these are things you never received from Master!"
Long Xiaoxiao's face shone with exhilaration.
"You're jealous of everything I received from Master, so you tried every way to see me suffer!"
"Because only by doing so could you satisfy your twisted sense of envy and hatred!"
As Long Xiaoxiao spoke these satisfying words, Gongsun Yajiu's face grew increasingly dark.
Normally sharp-tongued, Gongsun Yajiu had no rebuttal.
Her fingers clenched tightly, her expression turning sinister.
Because Long Xiaoxiao had hit her sore spot.
Back then, Xiao Fan had easily broken her illusion, sparking her competitive spirit.
She had wanted to conquer Xiao Fan at any cost.
But later, as they spent time together and certain events unfolded, her feelings changed.
For Xiao Fan, she even abandoned her status as the saintess of the demon clan, becoming the most foolish being in the eyes of the entire demon clan.
For Xiao Fan, she lost all her status and honor among the demons.
To help the dazed Xiao Fan regain his will, she risked her life to gather divine medicine.
She admitted that at first, her intentions towards Xiao Fan were impure.
But later, she gave everything for him.
But what did she get in return for all she sacrificed for Xiao Fan?
His cold indifference!
His disdain!
They said demons were heartless, but how could they compare to Xiao Fan's cold-bloodedness!
Back then, she lost everything for Xiao Fan, and her dignity was trampled by her former rivals.
The only way to regain her honor was to obtain the Demon Emperor's legacy.
But what she didn't expect was that her competitor for the Demon Emperor's legacy was Xiao Fan!
In her disbelief, Xiao Fan injured her to win the legacy.
Fortunately, since Xiao Fan was human, even though he won, the legacy did not choose him.
She hated Xiao Fan for his ruthless heart.
Why could Xiao Fan be so good to his disciples, willing to sacrifice his life, yet be so cold to her?
She was unwilling!
She wanted Xiao Fan to pay!
If Xiao Fan made her suffer, she would make him and his disciples suffer.
But she hadn't expected that the foolish Long Xiaoxiao would see through this.
Although Long Xiaoxiao exposed the truth, Gongsun Yajiu didn't concede.
She laughed charmingly, "My dear sister, you're quite self-absorbed!"
"Why would I need to be jealous of you?" Gongsun Yajiu scoffed. "With your flat chest and hard body, do you think Xiao Fan prefers holding you or me?"
Gongsun Yajiu then flaunted her voluptuous, graceful figure.
"You have no idea how much Xiao Fan later became obsessed with my body~"
Her face showed an extremely intoxicated expression.
"You… shameless!" Long Xiaoxiao's defenses broke.
In truth, Gongsun Yajiu's words not only offended Long Xiaoxiao but also the three empresses of the North Sea.
"Impossible, Master would never be like that!" Leng Ruoxue said firmly.
Wen Yajian nodded silently, equally confident in Xiao Fan's character.
Gongsun Yajiu's words were just to provoke Long Xiaoxiao.
Huo Ling'er was so angry she wanted to hit someone, feeling mocked as she looked down at herself.
"Do you think I'll believe your lies again?" Long Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth at Gongsun Yajiu.
Then she glanced at the Haotian Mirror in the sky, a light smile on her face.
"Why don't we see the truth and see how Master treated you?"
Rather than listening to Gongsun Yajiu's lies, it was better to see the truth for herself.
Gongsun Yajiu's face darkened slightly. She knew the truth better than anyone.
She had wanted to make Long Xiaoxiao suffer one last time before the truth was revealed.
But Long Xiaoxiao didn't take the bait.
It seemed Long Xiaoxiao hadn't wasted the past millennia.
But even if the truth was revealed, so what?
It would only show the world what a heartless and ungrateful scoundrel Xiao Fan was!
What did she have to fear?
