The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 123: Cleia

The Celestial Destiny Empire was already close to being in his grasp, the Giant Dragon Empire already had his dragon, and even the Elf Kingdom, which had always developed naturally, had his elf...

The Continent Alliance was caught off guard, allowing a member of the Demon Race to control such a significant power on the Divine Protection Continent.

Especially since the Celestial Destiny Empire was at the very center of the continent. If the Demon Race were to take control of the Celestial Destiny Empire and build space channels within its borders, the Divine Protection Continent would be attacked on both sides!

No, I can’t die yet! I must report this situation to the Continent Alliance!

"Thunk~"

As she thought about it, the ice-cold beauty dropped to one knee on the spot, showing a look of guilt on her face.

"Eh, my lady, you..."

"I’m sorry, I misunderstood. Lord Lynn, please forgive Cleia’s discourtesy."

Kneeling on one knee, the ice-cold beauty Cleia bowed her head to Lynn.

This was her first and will be her last time bowing to the Demon Race.

If she managed to get through this by luck, she would report the situation to the Continent Alliance and then take her own life.

The Light Church Court cannot have clergy who bow to the Demon Race. She could bear her own disgrace, but she must not let the great Light God be shamed because of her.

"It’s no big deal, Vice Chief Judge, you needn’t worry. By the way, where’s your snow eagle? Why isn’t it with you?"

Lynn generously forgave Cleia and then casually brought up Cleia’s pet.

Judging by Cleia’s caution, her eagle should still remember him and could testify for him. Otherwise, Cleia might just endure humiliation to get through this, but would certainly report him afterward. Though he feared no one, he didn’t want a Light Church Court investigation, especially since he really had Demonic Qi!

"What snow eagle?"

Lynn’s seemingly casual question startled Cleia significantly. He even knew about her magical pet, which she considered her final, unfortunate hope. Even if she died there, Xue’Er could at least relay the general situation.

But Lynn actually knew about Xue’Er, and it seemed he intended to call it over...

If Xue’Er, standing guard outside, were called in and eliminated, Lynn, this demon, could truly deceive everyone!

Thus, Cleia could only pretend to be ignorant. Even if she sacrificed herself, she couldn’t let her final fallback be lost as well.

"Oh really? How come I didn’t know you had an eagle, my lady?"

Sifrin reacted quickly and seamlessly began to cooperate with Cleia.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lynn watched as the ice-cold beauty and the mischievous person performed a seemingly high-level act, which due to his knowledge of the truth, appeared clumsy, and he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Xue’Er! Lord Lynn has some silverfish snacks here!"

Catching the Saintess of Light and the Vice Chief Judge off guard, Lynn suddenly shouted outside, deliberately releasing his aura.

Upon hearing someone calling for it, the snow eagle circling the skies was initially puzzled by the unfamiliar name Lynn. But the subsequent aura made its eagle brain short-circuit, causing it to plummet directly downward.

Just before crashing into the roof and being dazed, a massive information surge in its mind concluded, allowing it to brake in mid-air, avoiding the disaster of falling like a chicken.

Silverfish snacks!

No! It’s Lord Lynn speaking!

The snow eagle flapped its wings and dived into the hotel, which was somewhat chaotic due to a large brawl, flying straight to its owner, Cleia.

"Gooji?"

The snow eagle tilted its head quizzically, looking at its owner and Lord Lynn... A proposal?

Then don’t just kneel, where’s your proposal ring, owner? Xue’Er has one if you don’t!

The snow eagle lowered its head and from its pocket of space pulled out a diamond ring, then hopped over like a ground chicken and placed it in its owner’s hand.

Offer it! This is a big diamond; Lord Lynn will agree for sure!

The snow eagle gave its owner an encouraging look, then flapped a paw at a coming fat cat.

"Gooji?"

Weren’t you the one calling me just now?

Looking at the even more puzzled fat cat, the snow eagle also wore a puzzled expression and then let out an eagle’s cry: "Gooji!"

Fat orange cat: "Meow meow meow? (What the heck do you want now?)"

Snow Eagle: "?"

The onlookers, except Cleia and Sifrin, almost burst out laughing watching the interaction between the cat and the eagle.

"Gooji!"

After staring down a fat cat for a while, the snow eagle couldn’t figure it out and decided to focus on helping its owner win over Lord Lynn.

So, the snow eagle pecked at Cleia, indicating she should quickly offer the diamond ring. Didn’t she notice a room full of women? If she were to be slow, who knows what place she’d be in line to occupy?

"What are you doing?"

At this point, Cleia still wanted to play ignorant, but that was no longer an option, and a series of curious actions by Xue’Er confused her further. She knew Xue’Er had a habit of collecting shiny gems, but what was the point of giving her a diamond ring? Did she really look like she was proposing right now?

"Gooji~ Gooji~ Gooji!"

The snow eagle urged anxiously. What’s with this stupid owner? Since there’s such a good opportunity and such determination, why not just go for it? Isn’t pretending to be dumb too cowardly?

"You say I should hurry up and propose? Lord Lynn is in demand?"

Living with the snow eagle for over twenty years, Cleia’s eagle-speak proficiency was at level eight, fully able to understand what it was saying.

"You know Lynn?"

Cleia asked cautiously. What magic did this demon have? Deceiving the elves and giant dragons wasn’t enough, even Xue’Er, who’d never been in contact, was being deceived by him.

"Gooji~ Gooji~ Gooji! Gooji the incredulous Goose..."

The snow eagle vibrated and gestured with its wings while crying, creating a fierce display like a great peng spreading its wings, though with the weight akin to a fat cat, it appeared more like a chubby chicken raising a hand.

"Miracle Saint Emperor... World-saving Hero... Slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor, single-handedly suppressing the Seven Great Demon Kings..."

The snow eagle’s cries contained so much information that Cleia couldn’t digest it all at once.

She trusted Xue’Er wouldn’t lie to her, but couldn’t be sure if Xue’Er was being tricked by Lynn.

Not to mention he hadn’t had prior contact with Xue’Er, and these tales weren’t something one could casually fabricate, let alone forcibly implant these into an eagle’s mind.

"Ahem, open your dog... eyes and see clearly, this is the Supreme Emperor of Miracle World, titled the Miracle Saint Emperor, Celestial Divine General, Son of the Gods, the Nemesis of the Demon Race. You dare to defame him; do you have enough lives to handle the consequence!"

Coming from the Dragon Race, which in certain aspects transcends species, Natasha naturally understood eagle-speak. Seeing the snow eagle named Xue’Er enlighten her master on Lord Lynn’s great deeds, Natasha proudly stood up with the dignity of a Miracle Empress.
