World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1896 - 852: Di Nie Comes Clean to the Tiancha King!
"Curious..." Princess Di Nie said, "Lanling repelled Emperor Di Ming’s Bloodsucking Demon Tribe Army, which means he has become one of the three top powers in the Southern Barbaric Lands. I think it’s necessary to observe and understand him."
"And then..." Tiancha King said.
Princess Di Nie said, "Then I found out the reason for his rapid rise, the legendary master of Yao Xing, World-Ending Demon Emperor!"
The straightforwardness of her words slightly shocked the Tiancha King.
"And then..." Tiancha King said.
Di Nie said, "Foster father, what do you want to know?"
Tiancha King said, "Didn’t Lanling tell you anything else?"
Di Nie said, "For example, that I was once Yan Nai’er?"
These words surprised the Tiancha King even more, Di Nie revealed everything without a hint of concealment.
This was the Tiancha King’s greatest concern, that Di Nie might discover her true identity someday.
Immediately, Tiancha King’s expression became solemn, and he said, "Di Nie, what are you thinking?"
"Perhaps I was once a woman named Yan Nai’er, but it means nothing; now, I am Di Nie!" Di Nie said, "It’s a very simple truth, which I have told Lanling."
Upon hearing this, Tiancha King was overjoyed.
His deepest worry was that Di Nie would remember her previous identity and be stirred with certain memories, then fly away from his grasp.
Now, the heavy weight in his heart was finally lifted.
After a slight hesitation, Tiancha King said, "Di Nie, you’re not young anymore; have you thought about your lifelong commitment?"
This statement made Di Nie glance at him.
She certainly knew that the Tiancha King always wanted to marry her to Crown Prince Tiancha, just that he never brought it up until now, finally unable to restrain himself.
"No, not at all," Di Nie straightforwardly replied.
This single sentence stopped all of Tiancha King’s words, his face slightly darkened. Though he knew he shouldn’t ask the next question, he still did.
"Di Nie, what do you think of the Crown Prince?" Tiancha King said.
"Ordinary, just nothing special," Di Nie replied bluntly.
Tiancha King’s face became uglier, and he said, "Is it because he was defeated by Lanling? And twice at that!"
"It’s not about that at all; it’s purely based on energy vibes, just missing the feeling of a heartbeat," Di Nie said.
Tiancha King controlled his breathing, speaking word by word, "Then who in the Demon Territory makes your heartbeat?"
Di Nie said, "Lanling, I guess."
Once again, catching Tiancha King off guard, Princess Di Nie spoke straightforwardly!
Indeed, Di Nie could have lied from the start of today’s conversation, or at least concealed the truth. But she didn’t; every word she spoke was genuine.
Instantly, Tiancha King’s face became incredibly ugly, even his breathing turned heavy, filled with overwhelming murderous intent towards Lanling, with an impulse to personally go to the Flame Demon Empire and kill Lanling.
Tiancha King coldly said, "Then you plan to marry Lanling?"
"Not planning to right now," Princess Di Nie said.
Tiancha King said, "Then when will you plan to?"
"I don’t know!" Princess Di Nie said.
She wasn’t entirely honest with this; she had an answer in her heart.
When Lanling completely transforms into the Demon Emperor, that would be the moment Princess Di Nie pledged loyalty and married him.
Unexpectedly, Tiancha King uncovered this and said, "When Lanling inherits the Demon Emperor legacy, completely transforms into the World-Ending Demon Emperor, huh?"
After speaking, Tiancha King coldly stared at Princess Di Nie.
Next, Princess Di Nie’s answer became crucial; even fate could hinge upon it.
Princess Di Nie did not hesitate, nodding straightforwardly.
Instantly, Tiancha King’s face turned icy, his eyes bursting with intense murderous intent.
"Di Nie, don’t forget who gave you everything you have today," Tiancha King said word by word.
Di Nie said, "Yes, I know."
Tiancha King coldly said, "And this is how you repay me? Have I ever wronged you? I even offer you the future throne of the Demon Empire."
Di Nie quietly gazed at Tiancha King and said, "Foster father, I care about the interests of the entire Demon Race civilization. Whether I become the Demon Emperor or not, is not the point."
Tiancha King looked at Di Nie with indescribable heartache, unable to help but grit his teeth.
He wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a word. Because now, it was indeed Princess Di Nie who had the moral high ground, not him.
Indeed, Tiancha King granted Di Nie immeasurable power.
More accurately, Di Nie’s power resided in her bloodline, simply activated by Tiancha King’s methods. For that, Tiancha King had unknowingly sacrificed countless Demon Lords, Demon Sect leaders, even Demon Saint Layer strong individuals. Not to mention how many treasures of heaven and earth were used.
However, it was precisely because of Di Nie that the Witch Kingdom and Winged Tribe joined under Tiancha King’s banner.
And most critically, his son had been disappointing; except for the first battle, he repeatedly lost to Lanling.
Also, when facing Princess Di Nie, Tiancha King failed to overwhelm her with authority.
Now, though Di Nie could be seen as relying on Tiancha King, it was Tiancha King who relied more heavily on Princess Di Nie.
"Di Nie, what do you see the Tiancha Clan as? What do you see me as?" Tiancha King hoarsely said.
