Emperor’s Domination

“Elaborate then.” Li Qiye smiled at the accused.

Qing Ji remained hesitant despite the revelation.

“If you don’t speak now, this secret will be buried in hell.” Li Qiye said.

“The young noble is right. If you didn’t do it, why the silence?” Xiaoyue said.

“Well…” Qing Ji shook his head.

“Why shoulder the blame if nothing of the sort happened? Right now is the chance to clear your name.” She said.

This matter was truly a disgrace to the divine beasts. They were ancient and noble, renowned despite having long secluded themselves from the rest of the world. They stood untouchable in the history of time.

“You will always be the disgrace of the race. A mature divine beast and an immortal at that, defiling a corpse. Is this what you want your legacy to be? Of course, if you don’t care about this reputation, then that’s fine. After all, immortals have a bit of perversion in them. Sleeping with a corpse isn’t that big of a deal compared to all the twisted things immortals have done, right?” Li Qiye said.

“I didn’t do it.” Qing Ji turned red.

While immortals didn’t care about the opinion of lesser beings, Qing Ji was different as a divine beast. Most importantly, the divine beast was a community growing together for countless years, sharing both honor and disgrace.

Ads by PubRev Immortals of other races eventually walked alone since no one else could keep up with them. They would join an alliance eventually but didn’t care about the rest of the world. Therefore, reputation and honor didn’t quite stop them from committing atrocities.

The divine beasts, on the other hand, had too many shackles and worried about their reputation.

“Now’s the time to clear your name.” Li Qiye said.

Qing Ji’s expression showed an intense inner struggle.

“Don’t you want everyone to know what happened? This isn’t just about clearing your name, we and subsequent generations deserve to know the truth. Otherwise, your marsh branch will forever be tarnished.” Xiaoyue said.

His expressions changed continuously while the two waited for him to speak.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: “I never disrespected Phoenix Queen or did anything out of line.”

He then glanced at the silly girl and said: “Yes, I brought her out of Divine Firmament.”

“Impossible.” Xiaoyue blurted.

“It’s true, she was gestated within Phoenix Queen’s corpse. I secretly removed her to take her away.” He said.

“You’re lying…” Xiaoyue staggered backward.

“The dead is trying to give everyone an answer.” Qing Ji clenched his fists and met her gaze.

“…” She knew he was telling the truth but this was still too much to take. This news would shock their world, even more so than the alleged defilement.

“Interesting.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Phoenix Queen was gone long ago.” Xiaoyue murmured.

“The same with His Majesty Skykiller.” Qing Ji sighed.

“Then where did the fetus come from? A miracle from the heaven?” Li Qiye asked.

“The queen passed away long before His Majesty.” Xiaoyue sighed.

“Skykiller True Dragon had reached the shore and shouldn’t have died so easily.” Li Qiye said. Discover more novels at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

She nodded in agreement.

“Then tell me, how does the dead get pregnant?” Li Qiye asked.

“She was truly dead, that’s for certain.” Xiaoyue said.

“And then the fetus is neither bloodline.” Li Qiye said.

“It just doesn’t make any sense.” Xiaoyue had thought about it before but never wanted to dwell on it.

“The proof is before you. She is not a dragon or a phoenix, unless, you don’t believe him.” Li Qiye smiled and glanced at Qing Ji.
