Chapter 448: Chapter 54: Whirlwind Rekindles the Blaze—A Peerless Power Shakes the Demon Race

"Crown Prince Golden Roc truly has great fortune to be envied by demons!"

"Only a peerless beauty like Princess Peacock is worthy of the naturally talented and handsome Crown Prince Golden Roc!"

"Indeed, Crown Prince Golden Roc and Princess Peacock are truly a match made in heaven."

...

The bridal procession was large, but mostly consisted of young demon races, whose status could not compare with figures like the Golden Roc Emperor. Though envious and jealous, they could only say flattering words of sycophancy and adulation.

Crown Prince Golden Roc stood on the back of an Emperor-level Flood Dragon, feeling the envy and jealousy of the younger generation of demons, and feeling delighted.

Thinking of Princess Peacock’s enchanting, voluptuous figure, a wave of heat erupted from his lower abdomen like a volcano.

The fire he quenched with two rabbit spirits last night was rising again.

"That wretch Peacock, I must fiercely...."

Crown Prince Golden Roc thought viciously.

Even though Princess Peacock had agreed to marry him, she had previously been evasive and resistant, which left him feeling dissatisfied and humiliated.

Wherever he went, whichever woman he fancied, they would comply and submit, allowing his unrestrained indulgence.

He showed no pity, and even when he left them on the brink of life and death, they dared not frown, instead flattering and praising his might and valor...

This was the power of strength and influence.

Offending him could lead not only to a miserable death but could also implicate one’s family.

In ancient human society, there was a saying about magistrates that could break a family, and prefects that could annihilate a clan. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

In this world where strength was revered and the strong preyed on the weak, it was even more starkly evident.

Especially among the demon race, who openly worshipped the brutal law of the jungle.

Crown Prince Golden Roc rode on his Emperor-level Flood Dragon steed, and despite the large procession, their speed was swift.

Before long, they reached the Peacock Mountain Range.

Princess Peacock’s bedchamber.

Zhou Chen looked at Princess Peacock who embraced him, gently caressing her skin, smooth as mutton-fat jade, and planted a soft kiss on her clear, crystalline eyes.

Kissed the tear stains at the corner of her eyes.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Zhou Chen’s heart was racing, standing up without a hint of mercy.

"Young master, have you really thought this through? It’s not just Golden Roc, White Elephant, and Cyan Lion, the three major demon clans and three Demon Emperors, but possibly other demon clans will unite against you...."

Princess Peacock’s cheeks were flushed as she panted lightly, although her sense had been sent far away by Zhou Chen last night, she hadn’t lost her reason.

Zhou Chen was indeed formidable, rumored to be the reincarnation of a Supreme Immortal God, with an Empress Master, and backed by the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.

But the Purple Mansion Sacred Land wasn’t Zhou Chen’s home.

If others sought to kill Zhou Chen or coveted him, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land would certainly go all out to oppose them.

But for the sake of an unrelated demon woman, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land would be unwilling, they might offer some help for Zhou Chen’s sake, but they wouldn’t risk a fallout with the three Demon Emperors.

At most, the Yaochi Empress, as Zhou Chen’s master, and the newly ascended Mahayana Shuiyun Fairy whom Zhou Chen had helped, would fully support Zhou Chen.

The Demon Emperors were extremely powerful among their peers.

The newly ascended Mahayana Shuiyun Fairy could not withstand even one Demon Emperor, and although the Yaochi Empress was strong, she could only barely contend with two Demon Emperors.

Moreover, the relations between the demon and human races were not good, and if war broke out, other Demon Emperors might intervene.

And the human race’s supreme powerhouses would likely not help. Zhou Chen had no just cause in this matter, why would they fight desperately for an unrelated demon woman?

People are selfish.

They are wary of Zhou Chen’s potential and, without major conflicts of interest, are naturally willing to help Zhou Chen a bit, forming a favorable relationship and making friends with him.

But asking them to help Zhou Chen seize an emotionally unconnected demon woman, and oppose the demon race, they certainly wouldn’t do it.

This is also the reason Princess Peacock hadn’t sought out Zhou Chen.

She only had a one-month transactional relationship with Zhou Chen, after which she would leave, and there was no talk of affection between them.

But Zhou Chen was her first man, and she couldn’t forget him in her heart.

She didn’t believe Zhou Chen would oppose the demon race for her sake.

Moreover, even if Zhou Chen came.

Without absolute strength, he couldn’t take her away.

This concerned the demon race’s dignity.

Not to mention whether other Great Emperors from the Purple Mansion Sacred Land would help; even if they did, it would be difficult to take her away.

And Zhou Chen causing a commotion, given his status, would certainly be unharmed, as the Purple Mansion Sacred Land would protect Zhou Chen at all costs.

But what about her?

Afterwards, the demon race wouldn’t seek revenge, wouldn’t they torture her in myriad ways?

The Peacock Race would also be implicated by her.

Besides, if this matter isn’t resolved well, what good is it even if Zhou Chen takes her away?

Is it necessary for the entire Peacock Race to accompany her recklessness to their grave?

Therefore.

Even though she liked Zhou Chen in her heart, she did not go to him.

She did not believe the current Zhou Chen could oppose the demon race for her, and ensure the Peacock Race would not be persecuted later.

"Rest assured, you will be my woman in the future, I will resolve everything, and the Peacock Race will be unharmed!"

Zhou Chen, grasping Princess Peacock’s virtues, smiled faintly; he now had enough confidence, not needing to rely on anyone else, to handle everything.

As for whether it’s worth it?

Zhou Chen didn’t care.

Wealth breeds indulgence.

He had the strength, so he didn’t care about these things.

He liked Princess Peacock.

It was truly satisfying.

He was pleased.

So he acted.

As for a simpering fool?

What is a simpering fool?

Someone who gets nothing in return, used by women as an ATM, treated like a dog, yet can’t even touch her hand—that’s a simpering fool.
