Who Stole My Eggs?

Before Xie Zuo made a move, he heard a thunderbolt above his head, rolling thunder, and thick golden thunder and lightning fell straight down one after another, surrounding Xie Zuo like a fence.

“Huo Yao? Is that you?” Xie Zuo raised his head and called out in surprise.

In the past, his bones ached when he saw thunder and lightning, but this time he was extremely happy.

When the evil demons who attacked Xie Zuo saw the thunder and lightning, they were all frightened out of their wits and retreated as fast as possible. But it was too late; they were hit by the lightning one after another or were forced to be swallowed by the lightning, struggling, roaring, and then being annihilated.

Xie Zuo called for a long time but didn’t see Huo Yao, and he was very disappointed.

Suddenly, the shuddering thunder stopped, and a golden light passed through the thick blood mist and fell on Xie Zuo, shrouding him in it.

Waves of aroma came, and there was a faint sound of jingling rings. The auspicious clouds gathered at Xie Zuo’s feet and lifted him up from the abyss.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” Lao Luo was shocked and wanted to pull Xie Zuo away, but he couldn’t get close.

Xie Zuo stepped on the auspicious clouds and soared.

Xie Zuo couldn’t control his body at all, so he could only let the auspicious clouds lift him up and then up again, passing through a colorful auspicious cloud and stopping.

Clouds of colorful mist enveloped him, and he couldn’t see where he was. He could only feel that there were people around him and whispers everywhere.

“Is he coming?”

“It seems he is coming.”

“Who is that person?”

“Who could it be?”

The colorful mist gradually dissipated, and Xie Zuo realized he was standing on a glittering Lotus Platform with colorful rays of light floated behind him, as dazzling as one could imagine.

Xie Zuo lowered his head and looked around at a group of colorful people.

It was truly colorful!

He was standing at the top of a magnificent hall, with people crowded below him, all dressed up in lively and bright clothes. Some wore red, some yellow, some purple, some blue, and some colorful striped robes. Everyone wore sparkling jewelry, which was sparkling brightly.

Xie Zuo closed his eyes. Although these people didn’t speak loudly, their clothes really disturbed his vision.

Xie Zuo was staring at them when suddenly, two more beams of light, one pink and one green, rushed straight into the upper hall.

After the light beams disappeared, Xie Zuo saw two people wearing pink and green robes, respectively, and he shouted in surprise, “Xiao Lin! Mu Rong!”

Xie Zuo wanted to run down and hug them, but he just reached the edge of Lotus Platform when the “sizzling” lightning fence suddenly appeared, not allowing him to take another step forward!

Xie Zuo looked angrily at the sky; this must have been the work of that Tiandi again!

.

Rain Deity Lin and Mu Rong took the lead, leading the colorful group of people to kneel on the ground, all kneeling toward Xie Zuo.

Mu Rong kept a straight face and stared straight ahead without looking at Xie Zuo. “The divine messenger Mu Rong pays homage to the Southern Emperor.”

Rain Deity Lin smiled at Xie Zuo and said loudly, “The divine messenger Lin pays homage to the Southern Emperor.”

“Divine Messenger Lang Yue pays homage to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom!”

“Divine Messenger Zi Shuang pays homage to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom!”

Xie Zuo listened in confusion as they paid homage to him one by one. Only then did he realize that he the majestic King of the Demon Realm, had become the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom from Immortal Realm!

These events seemed really ridiculous to him.

Those before him were all deities from the Southern Kingdom, and he was now in the temple of the Southern Emperor.

Despite his ascension, he still couldn’t escape the shackles of Tiandi. The thunder and lightning imprisoned him, not allowing him to move freely.

Xie Zuo cursed inwardly, “Who cares about the position of this broken emperor!”

In addition to Rain Deity Lin and Mu Rong, he also recognized many acquaintances he had met in the human world. It seemed that after the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom was chosen, these divine messengers automatically returned to their positions.

Xie Zuo couldn’t descend, but he could summon people up. He was eager to know the news about Huo Yao.

“Mu Rong, Mu Rong, come here!” Xie Zuo waved to Mu Rong.

However, Mu Rong remained cold as ice and ignored him completely.

Xie Zuo sighed and lowered his hand. Could it be that Mu Rong was angry upon discovering that he had taken his place as the crown prince of Yunzhao Kingdom, causing him to fail to become the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom?

If he thought about it seriously, he was indeed sorry for Mu Rong, as he had taken his position as prince in the human world and now also took the position of emperor that should have been his.

Xie Zuo decided to correct this mistake immediately. He coughed and said, “Everyone, rise.”

The deities stood up and looked at Xie Zuo curiously. He was not a deity born and raised in the south. What was his origin?

The previous emperor of the Southern Kingdom liked them to dress brightly and festively, but the new emperor wore plain black Taoist robes, his hair loose and his face turned upward. Would they change their dressing style in the future?

Those divine messengers who participated in the fight for the emperor were also guessing about Xie Zuo’s origin. This was an unplanned person. Could it be the will of Tiandi?

Rain Deity Lin tugged on Mu Rong’s sleeve, “Are you still angry? Look, isn’t this good? He is still alive and well.”

Mu Rong pushed Rain Deity Lin’s hand away, folding his arms and still not looking at Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo suddenly felt a force pulling him down. He thought it was not good, and he only had time to shout, “I won’t be the emperor anymore… Mu Rong—!”

.

Xie Zuo’s ascension was like a flash in the pan, and he fell back into the abyss.

Seeing Xie Zuo’s return, Lao Luo was overjoyed and surrounded him, “Your Majesty, are you okay?”

“These merits…”

Lao Luo looked eager, “Your Majesty, you are amazing. You have accumulated so many merits in a short period. This is a great achievement for saving the world! Even Beiyuan Deity, who feeds wolves with his body, cannot compare to you—”

“I mainly want to save Huo Yao. The life and death of others have nothing to do with me,” Xie Zuo said coldly.

In the following days, Huo Yao still did not appear, but Xie Zuo was troubled by the position of emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

Tiandi seemed very reluctant to let Xie Zuo occupy the position of emperor, but they could not remove him from this position. They simply continued trying, allowing him to be the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom while strictly restricting him.

As for Xie Zuo, he didn’t care about his position in the Immortal Realm. Full of merit? He scoffed; he felt contaminated!

He was the indomitable demon king, born to make trouble. What merit did he want? It was demeaning for the Demon King to be reduced to a small emperor in the Immortal Realm, and he couldn’t let the Demon Realm know such a thing!

Although he didn’t care about it and didn’t want to, he couldn’t stand the southern deities talking about him all day long.

Every morning, the deities would worship the Southern Emperor in his temple, kowtowing and shouting. These noisy sounds always reached his ears, “buzzing” like flies and especially irritating.

Xie Zuo ignored them, but couldn’t block out these sounds, which made him upset. He hated it when someone disturbed his sleep!

One day, as Xie Zuo was sleeping soundly, another faint voice reached his ears, growing clearer and louder.

“Where is the emperor? Isn’t the emperor going to court today?”

Xie Zuo furrowed his eyebrows. “Forget being the emperor, what kind of life am I living here?”

Why must he get up early to go to court in the Immortal Realm? Didn’t they say Mu Rong would be their emperor?

“The emperor is respectfully invited to appear!”

“The emperor is respectfully invited to appear!”

The voice calling Xie Zuo grew louder and louder, eventually waking him up completely.

Xie Zuo sat up suddenly, walked out of the lair angrily, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and flew up: he wanted to silence these noisy deities!
