Chapter 186: A Cold Joke
W-What?
The seventh female looked confused.
Like who?
Beside them, two attendants said, “Those females who volunteered to massage his shoulders and feet yesterday were crushed to pieces by the Emperor because their techniques were unskilled.”
“Ah!”
Hearing this, the seventh female screamed in terror.
Caesar looked at Su Miantang. Seeing her have no reaction, he prepared to throw the female under his hand into the water.
“Wait a moment!”
At the critical moment, the young girl spoke up.
From her observations of him since yesterday, not only was he a crazy, cold-blooded, murderous maniac, but his thoughts and logic were also very abstract.
For example, saying she was ugly.
For example, killing people because of insomnia.
For example, feeling the candy had no taste…
So, for him to be satisfied, it didn’t necessarily have to be a normal talent.
“I have a talent.”
“What is it?”
Caesar withdrew his hand.
“I can… tell you a cold joke.”
All the females present: “?” Was she eager to die?
“A cold joke?” Caesar seemed to have never heard of this before. “What is that?”
“You’ll know once you hear it.”
“Alright.”
He looked at her seriously.
Everyone present also pricked up their ears, watching to see what kind of trick she was going to pull.
Su Miantang took a deep breath, like a desperate gamble. “Once upon a time, there was a person named Xiao Ming…”
“But he didn’t hear.”
After she finished speaking, the entire vast wasteland fell silent, as if frozen by something. Even the ravens on the trees were embarrassed and wanted to fly around randomly.
All the females: “…” Cold, so cold. She’s dead.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Su Miantang also felt a little panicked in her heart.
Although it was a cold joke, it shouldn’t be that not a single person laughed, right?
She carefully observed Caesar’s expression.
His eyes were slightly downcast. The distinct, raven-feather-like thick eyelashes fell into the cold, distant heterochromatic eyes, casting a small shadow, making it impossible to explore any emotion.
His sharp, thin lips, slightly pursed into a line, seemed to be thinking, or more like brewing a majestic anger for being fooled…
It’s over!
It didn’t succeed.
Su Miantang’s brain was running at high speed, thinking about what other life-saving methods there were.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard.
As if it was an afterthought, finally realizing it.
The laughter was low and mellow, yet carrying a trace of clear, limpid clarity. It was like a jar of plum wine being knocked over, releasing an elegant and seductive aura, attracting everyone’s attention.
Emperor Caesar… actually laughed?!
And smiled so handsomely?
A faint curve formed on the lips that were usually placid, like a spring breeze brushing the face. The corners of the deep phoenix eyes turned upwards, tinted with a charming intoxication.
For a moment, everyone was lost in thought, forgetting that he was the murderous devil from just a moment ago. They just couldn’t take their eyes away, their hearts fluttering.
He is so handsome.
Worthy of being an SSS-grade combat male. Just a single smile made all the males in the world pale in comparison.
Su Miantang frowned, watching him go from a chuckle to a burst of hearty laughter, and finally, even the horns on his head and his scattered long hair trembled with it.
As beautiful as a painting.
That contradictory feeling of innocence and cruelty struck her heart again.
“Funny.”
It was indeed funny.
While laughing, Emperor Caesar strode toward the palace with large, relaxed strides to catch up on sleep.
“Emperor Caesar is returning to his palace. That concludes today. Envoys, please return to the side halls. If there are still treasures to present, you may come tomorrow at the same time, along with the newly arrived envoys.”
The attendants on both sides announced.
Su Miantang let out a deep, deep sigh of relief. Did she pass this test successfully?
On the wasteland, the other females also had lingering fears. Their moods weren’t as relaxed as yesterday, nor did they mock the young girl like yesterday. After all, she indirectly saved their lives, so they returned to the side hall without a word.
“?”
Su Miantang watched their silhouettes in puzzlement.
Caesar had killed people, and they still weren’t leaving? Just like Caroline.
“Thank you, thank you for saving me wuwuwu…”
Behind her, the seventh female, who had been scared half to death, finally seemed to have found her soul. She threw herself at her, crying loudly and repeatedly expressing her thanks.
Su Miantang quickly helped her up. “Let’s leave. Let’s leave together.”
“Leave?” The seventh female looked at her suspiciously. “How do we leave?”
“The same way you came in.”
She thought she had a way to leave.
But the seventh female shook her head in despair. “The Dragon Domain has an entrance but no exit.”
“What?” Su Miantang frowned. “Then do you have an optical computer? Or any tools for self-defense or transportation?”
“No. Before coming in, everything was shattered. In here, all communication devices, weapons, and even pheromones cannot be used. We can only use combat power. But Emperor Caesar is an SSS-grade combat male, refreshing the world’s highest combat power level today. He has set up restrictions outside the Dragon Domain. There is not a single male beastman in the world who can break in.”
How could this be?
How could this be!
Seeing her heavily distressed look, the seventh female remembered the rumors she heard last night.
The female noticed by Emperor Caesar was a lunatic who claimed she was caught by a black dragon and even tried to escape at night, but obediently came back.
“You really didn’t come in here voluntarily?”
“Of course not.”
“You don’t know anything about this place?”
“Mhm.”
“Then…” The seventh female hesitated and struggled for a while. “I will tell you everything.”
She had seen through it. She had no chance of gaining Emperor Caesar’s favor and would eventually die here, so there was no need to keep a well-known secret anymore.
“My name is Blanche. I am the niece of the future Federation Leader of the Icarus Star System, an S-grade female. Two days before entering the domain, my uncle and high-ranking government officials jointly hosted a banquet to invite me and told me something.”
“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but outside the Hundred Great Star Systems, there have always been two dragons: one is a Purgatory Demonic Dragon with amethyst eyes, and the other is a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon with gilded eyes.
Their temperaments, stances, and concepts are completely different, but both are SS-grade combat males with heaven-destroying, earth-shattering immense power.
The Purgatory Demonic Dragon has a cruel, ruthless, and extremely wicked temperament. He has always wanted to rule the Hundred Great Star Systems and become the Interstellar King. Those who submit to him prosper, and those who oppose him directly perish.
The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon is kind, just, and full of love, always silently guarding the peace and tranquility of the interstellar space.
They share the same roots and origins but blossomed into two completely different flowers.
The Purgatory Demonic Dragon wanted to invite the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon to conquer and rule the interstellar space with him. But the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon not only refused but also repeatedly hindered him, preventing him from showcasing his grand ambitions.
In his fury, a thought sprouted in his mind: to use a forbidden spell from the dragon clan’s forbidden books—Soul Condensation—to attempt to devour the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, absorb his power into his own body, and forcibly upgrade to an SSS-grade combat male. That way, he could rule the world effortlessly.
But unexpectedly, he didn’t devour the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, nor did the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon devour him. They fused into a new dragon, which is Emperor Caesar—the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, an SSS-grade combat male.”
