Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: Regent Princess? Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: Regent Princess? The Beiting Family had given their approval; what more was there to say? Beiting Lang and his wife had protected it for so many years, not to mention that Beiting Huang was now a Half-step Emperor Supreme.

Since she was a direct descendant, she qualified to be named Regent Princess. The Eastern Emperor thus proposed, “In my view, it would be best to confer the title of Regent Princess upon her. As a Half-step Emperor Supreme, if any of you oppose this matter of regency, you can take it upon yourselves to do it!”

Who would dare to oppose? A Half-step Emperor Supreme, and not even sixteen years old at that–could any of them achieve such a feat?

Only a freak could, right?

“Regent Princess?” Beiting Huang curled up in Yan Ye’s embrace, looking at the newly arrived invitation. Why had she suddenly been elevated to “regent”?

Yan Ye narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the invitation. She had been a princess before, and now a Regent Princess? If he remembered correctly, wasn’t the Eastern Emperor still just a Superior Great Sovereign? This old fellow hadn’t broken through all these years because he had no access to the proper path.

Beiting Huang told Yan Ye about her experience during her enlightenment, “I had no idea that the Chaos Divine Source would actually contain a trace of the Earth Mother’s divine senses. Now that I think about it, it still sends shivers down my spine. That woman really knew how to hide herself, having remained out of sight for so many years.”

A dangerous light flashed in Yan Ye’s eyes as well. If that woman had taken even the slightest action against them, Beiting Huang’s soul could have dissipated, leaving him clueless as to where to find her again.

“I exterminated her!” Beiting Huang took a deep breath. After a bout of lovemaking, she seemed somewhat out of breath, “She actually wanted me to agree to help her take control of the world. I really don’t know what kind of trickery she was up to. Only now do I realize that it was she who misled the Nine-Colored Great Sovereigns in their cultivation, preventing them from advancing, and that the demise of those unruly powerful beings was all her doing from behind Demon Spirit Peak, and that person turned out to be a remnant of the Earth Mother.”

“Otherwise, what right would he have to live on Demon Spirit Peak?”

“The path of cultivation is naturally against the heavens, but it must also follow the heavens’ will. Why should I do such disgraceful things as to indiscriminately slaughter those strong beings? I believe the one who deserves to die is the Earth Mother!”

“She even said she would destroy the Chaos Divine Source. Does she think I am afraid? The Chaos Divine Source is domineering but only useful at the beginning of cultivation. Besides, after reaching the Heaven Rank, one has infinite life; it is no big deal to just cultivate slowly. Such cheat-like things–do you really think I crave them?”

Although Yan Ye had no idea what “cheat-like things” meant, he roughly guessed the meaning. He leaned down and softly nibbled on Beiting Huang’s lips for a moment before praising her, “Well done, you truly are my woman!”

Although Beiting Huang had not mentioned that only love could harm Yan Ye, as told by the Earth Mother, Yan Ye was astute enough to guess that the trap that the Spirit God Clan had set using Beiting Huang might also be related to this matter.

Demon Spirit Peak did not permit Yan Ye to grow because he, too, was insubordinate.

“The Earth Mother did not erase the Yanmo Heavenly Clan completely, not because she still had some lingering affection for the demon gods, but probably because she was only a strand of divine senses, without any real combat power left to inflict harm,” Beiting Huang couldn’t help but speculate.

“Hmm!” Yan Ye said, “She only has a strand of divine senses. Even at her heyday, she merely had the power to manipulate the world. If it came down to combat power, it probably wouldn’t amount to even one percent of a demon god.”
