Chapter 724 - 420: Father, Can We Reconcile?
"Little Xue..."
"Mm-hmm?"
"Leave the matter to me for now," the Old Demon Emperor said.
From Xue Dili’s angle, he couldn’t see his face, but he imagined it was as black as the bottom of a pot, and if they were face-to-face, those pupils might be filled with ominous red-haired lions.
Xue Dili nodded, expecting a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the Old Demon Emperor’s youngest son turned out to be the Witch Demon King.
And what he’s been doing... how to say it, whether he’s strong or not, he’s certainly quite low...
And with this request from the Old Demon Emperor, Xue Dili had no reason to oppose.
He pushed open the bronze giant door engraved with wailing faces, and a soul-freezing chill hit them, as they began to walk into this Great Tomb, countless undead stared at them like guards along the way.
The ghostly blue flame suddenly flickered, illuminating the twisting, writhing spirit bodies on the walls, while translucent arms reached out from the frescoes, and the air was thick with a sweet, rancid stench of decaying spices and aged corpse rot.
"Your son’s sense of aesthetics is truly awful, even worse than your brother Loren," Xue Dili began to cynically rant.
This caused the Old Demon Emperor, already full of anger, to slightly pause his steps, then crush the bones on the ground with one foot, and walk into the archway ahead, entering an exceptionally long corridor paved entirely with bones and flesh.
"I’m speaking the truth, your brother’s castle is also made of bone, but the overall assemblage is more mechanical, like playing with bones as machines, it has a sort of aesthetic, though I can’t appreciate it, yet if it truly formed a bone Gundam, I’d still find it cool," Xue Dili continued his rant, completely ignoring the thousands of souls beneath his feet letting out silent screams.
"But your son, his aesthetics are like a rural nouveau riche, utterly lacking in beauty, disgustingly low. Didn’t you teach him any aesthetics? Perhaps he aims to scare us with this aesthetics? But frankly, this thing is less terrifying than grotesque forms."
"I tell you, in that previous Tita Civilization, those biological incubation chambers created by evil eyes were so advanced, evil eyes don’t have human aesthetics, but the flesh-mechanical contraptions they create are truly twisted beyond sanity..."
Xue Dili continued his rant.
The Old Demon Emperor seemed intent on walking faster, while Xue Dili purely felt dissatisfied with the Witch Demon King for stretching this entry path so long as an intentional show of power.
Finally, the several-kilometer-long "red carpet" was walked through by the two, their shoes no longer wearable, soaked outside with sticky, disgusting blood water.
And at this moment, they finally saw the end of the steps, at the top of the obsidian and bone-forged steps, there stood a withered Witch Demon King, holding each an unclad "beauty"?
They couldn’t really be considered "beauty", they were probably like vampires, merely undead women made of frozen flesh, similar to Silvanas in the Demon Beast realm, just corpses.
Yet at this instant, the Old Demon Emperor’s aura erupted, growing wild and fierce!
"You filthy beast!" the Old Demon Emperor roared in fury, a massive dragon of blood appearing behind him.
Opposite him, the Witch Demon King’s eyes squinted mischievously and said, "Old fool, now, just by seeing me holding these two sisters-in-law, you’re already furious beyond measure?"
Xue Dili: "???"
Xue Dili: "!!!!!!"
No, I... you... ah?!
Xue Dili, previously just watching the drama, was instantly stunned, only feeling his mind whirring like a washing machine, the whole cosmos seemed to chill coldly in his mind, trembling...
It was as though millions of old lions filled his head...
He looked again at those two "women" embraced by the Witch Demon King, unclad, their faces marred only by numbness and pain, the Witch Demon King’s skeletal fingers caressing the peaks, with the soul fire flickering in the eye sockets, seemingly reveling in endless delight and pleasure.
Only now did Xue Dili realize these two undead were his sisters-in-law!
Wait a minute... Xue Dili wished for some quiet...
You become the Witch Demon King, your aim merely to have your two brothers guard the gates, then revive the deceased sisters-in-law?
No, you sent your fiancée out to guard armies and merely play some undead family drama with your already long-frozen sisters-in-law here every day?
Xue Dili was left speechless...
Xue Dili knew of undead, naturally he could voice his opinion, once undead the body stiffens, devoid of tactile senses, devoid of desires and feedback, meaning him touching these two undead felt no different than touching stones.
Yet he insisted on doing so, Xue Dili could only think...
Insult! This was merely this lowlife’s ultimate insult to his brothers and to the Old Demon Emperor!
Sure enough, following this, the Witch Demon King pulled an undead woman tightly to him, forcing her atop his body, with a fiercely provocative and twisted expression he said, "Old fool, what you wouldn’t give me, I shall seize for myself, do you know how many times your impotent elder brother and second brother have witnessed this scene?"
"Enough! You beast, die!" The blood dragon immediately lunged at him, yet the Witch Demon King remained indifferent, still seeming intent on indulging in blatant debauchery here, his hands not releasing those two female undead, hugging one with each hand, jumping off the throne with a leap.
