Chapter 2382: The Sacred Domain Opens! Shou Zhe Arrives in Person 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Demon Emperor felt a headache coming on.

Years ago, he spent a "fortune" to obtain the true demon core and corpse of the Red Flame Demon God, eagerly hoping to add a new true demon bloodline to the Shentu clan. Yet, over the years, he has been selecting, testing among the Shentu disciples, trying to find a suitable person to inherit, but the more he chooses, the more dissatisfied he becomes.

Among thousands of young disciples, not a single one was satisfactory.

"Your Majesty, no need to rush," Wang Shouzhe advised comforting, "For now, if you can’t find the right one, it’s alright. Why not wait a bit more patiently and cultivate some promising ones a little more?"

"Wait? That could take forever," the Red Hell Demon Emperor said worriedly, "I’ve heard that Princess Su Yun has already successfully inherited the... Our Demonic Dynasty can’t afford to wait."

"Outer Old Ancestor," Wang Baosheng heard and couldn’t help but "advise" from the side, "Since you can’t wait, why not let my Aunt Zhao Yu have a try? Although Auntie usually seems to be... well, you know, her bloodline talent and comprehension are top-notch."

Princess Zhao Yu is usually very doting on Baosheng, and naturally, Baosheng respects and loves his Aunt Zhao Yu. How could he not help fight for such an opportunity?

"Zhao Yu?!" The Red Hell Demon Emperor was shocked, "But Zhao Yu is married into the Wang family, she is the Wang family’s wife~"

"Outer Old Ancestor, you better not let my Aunt Zhao Yu hear that..." Wang Baosheng said earnestly, "After all, my aunt still bears the Shentu surname and is devoted to the Shentu clan and the Demonic Dynasty. If she becomes a true demon one day, she will definitely support the Demonic Dynasty and won’t stand by while it’s bullied. Wouldn’t that mean the Demonic Dynasty has gained another true demon?"

The Red Hell Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "Baosheng makes sense, though why do I feel something’s off somewhere?"

"Wait, wasn’t this treasure bought with my borrowed money?" Suddenly, the Red Hell Demon Emperor realized, "No, no, Shouzhe, Zhao Yu is ultimately part of your Wang family. This money must come from your Wang family."

"Outer Old Ancestor, that’s unreasonable." Wang Baosheng disagreed, "Isn’t Aunt Zhao Yu of Shentu blood? How can you discriminate against her this way? How about this, let me ask Auntie’s opinion when I go back, if she insists on the Wang family paying, I’ll turn to Father to cover the shortfall."

Actually, Princess Zhao Yu’s tavern is quite profitable too. Over the past hundreds of years, her business has thrived, earning about three to four billion immortal crystals in total. One immortal crystal is equivalent to a lower-grade spirit stone, which is about one hundred Qian Gold.

This few billion immortal crystals, after subtracting personal use and taxes, still leaves around two billion immortal crystals in savings, enough to exchange for two highly expensive immortal spirit stones.

Additionally, when Zhao Yu got married, the Shentu clan also provided a considerable dowry, including many industries that have been profitable over the years. The profits are not low either.

Combining both, they can probably gather around three immortal spirit stones.

But even so, this amount is far from enough to pay for the price of the Red Flame Demon God’s true demon core.

However, even if Zhao Yu’s money isn’t enough, Wang Fugui definitely has enough money.

"There’s no need for Fugui to pay this sum either," Wang Shouzhe supported, "Our Wang family can afford to cultivate a true demon from start to finish. Your Majesty of the Red Hell, are you sure you want the Wang family to pay?"

The Red Hell Demon Emperor suddenly felt as if he were being roasted by the grandfather and grandson duo.

If Zhao Yu finds out that he doesn’t want to spend the money, with Zhao Yu’s temper, wouldn’t she blow up? She might even demand to sever ties with him.

Furthermore, according to the rules of the Divine Martial World, if the Wang family pays, the inheritance belongs to the Wang family. In the future, this true demon inheritance will be passed down only within the Wang family and will have nothing to do with the Shentu clan.

"Outer Old Ancestor, there’s no need to worry so much," Wang Baosheng earnestly and gravely analyzed for the Red Hell Demon Emperor, "Aunt Zhao Yu is a Demonic Cultivator, and there’s a severe shortage of Demonic Cultivators among our Wang family members. In the future, when she reaches the inheritance stage, won’t it be passed back to the Shentu clan? Over these several thousand years, the Shentu clan can fully develop and cultivate more promising young ones, then you won’t have to worry about not finding a suitable heir."

In fact, there are many examples of such matters.

For instance, King Chaoyang’s consort, Yao Yuangang, originally married into the Chaoyang King Mansion with a codex. When he reached the inheritance stage, he passed the codex back to the Yao family.

This was a situation with countless benefits and no harm for the Yao family. With an Immortal Emperor acting as a guarantor, the Yao family wouldn’t worry about losing the codex.

And with the wealth of the Wang family, as well as the number of True Immortal Seeds in the family, they will surely have numerous True Immortals in the future, and they would have no desire for this line of true demon inheritance.

"That’s also true." The Red Hell Demon Emperor was convinced, nodding speechlessly, "No matter how you put it, Zhao Yu is a Shentu bloodline; her becoming a true demon is all gain for the Shentu clan. So let’s settle it this way."

If Zhao Yu achieves the true demon state, the relationship between the Shentu clan and the Wang family will be even more solid.

"Attendants, come!" Wang Baosheng immediately put on a serious face, commanding outside, "Invite my Aunt Zhao Yu over."

"Yes, Young Master Baosheng."

The attendant waiting outside the courtyard immediately received the order and then hurriedly went to invite Princess Zhao Yu.

Before long, Princess Zhao Yu hurried over.

Seeing the scene in the courtyard, she was momentarily at a loss.

Could it be that Baosheng has somehow "stirred trouble" and upset the two Old Ancestors?
