"I can’t afford a great lord like you."
"You can’t afford me, or are you looking down on me?" The Demon Emperor narrowed his beautiful eyes.
This woman was so audacious. In the entire century, for thousands of years, since he became a great Demon Emperor, she was the only one person who dared to use such an expression and tone toward him.
Who wouldn’t eye him with reverence, fear, and admiration? Who wouldn’t speak to him with a tone of respect?
Those who disrespected him had long been sent to hell. He couldn’t kill her, and this was such a frustration. Fine....
"Do you have something for me to look down on?" She finally looked at him.
Shen Xian: "..."
Hahaha, look at his expression. [He looked like he just swallowed a bucket of stinky tofu.] Xiao Li and the others laughed loudly.
"Don’t waste any more time; if you want to learn, go and sit there. Do not disturb my work." She pointed her slender finger to a place under the tree.
"As a Demon Emperor, how can I sit on that disgusting ground?" He snarled in disgust.
"Then go back to the Demon Realm and bring your throne here." She rolled her eyes.
"I already brought my throne with me." He scoffed and took out his throne.
Shenlian Yingyue: "......."
"Go down," she said.
"What? Are you playing with me, human?" His temper instantly returned as his anger rose.
"Have you ever wondered why I let you sit on the ground? Have you ever asked why I fight with you?" She wasn’t afraid of his icy air.
Shen Xian was stunned. He had never asked. Wasn’t it normal for her to fight with him to protect herself?
"Demon Emperor, I let you sit on the ground because I want to remind you that no matter how high you are, never forget where you came from. Even when you reach the sky, don’t forget that you once stepped on this low land."
No matter how far you’ve come, you still have roots that connect them to your humble beginnings.
"Do you want me to stay humble and grounded?" He lifted the corner of his lips.
"No, I want you to remember who supported you along the way." She said it softly, and her soft voice brushed the tip of his heart.
She didn’t soften her tone, but she had the habit of speaking softly like this.
