Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Sure enough, the place was packed.

And it seemed like those gathered were from some pretty influential groups.

Right in the center stood Cedric, the Emperor of the Emerald Kingdom.

You know, even when nations negotiate, they usually send envoys.

Even though Emperor Cedric\'s power was nothing compared to Goddess Sylvia, it was indeed rare for a nation\'s ruler to personally come to pay respects.

Emperor Cedric gave his subordinates a look.

Instantly, all sorts of exquisite boxes and chests were opened, dazzling with jewels and treasures.

Among them were the Pine Pattern Sword, a national treasure of the Emerald Kingdom, and the Jade Dragon Scale Armor, famed for being indestructible.

Ten Starfire Moon Rats, a box of Solar Blaze Elixir, three Veiled Moon Dragon Roots, dozens of Holy Blackbird eggs... an endless array of rare and exotic treasures.

It was clear that for a not-so-powerful Emerald Kingdom, this was a significant sacrifice.

"All these are gifts from the Emerald Kingdom to Goddess Sylvia, hoping to foster a good relationship with the supreme Goddess and earn the privilege to be considered her friend," Emperor Cedric bowed slightly, his tone full of respect.

"You don\'t visit a temple without a cause. These precious gifts must have cost your kingdom a lot. Out with it, I hate beating around the bush," Sylvia said, as if she could see right through him.

"True to your reputation, Goddess Sylvia," Cedric gave an awkward smile and confessed, "Actually, I\'ve heard about a new acolyte in Sky Sanctuary, Timothy, and his exploits in the Valley of the Undead."

"They say he cleverly eliminated seven hidden demons and even secured treasures from three legendary Holy Emperors, triggering the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation."

"Such feats are truly heroic and admirable."

"So, if possible, I\'d like to meet this Timothy, who\'s surely on his way to becoming an Emperor-level powerhouse."

Although Sylvia already knew about the events in the Valley of the Undead, hearing Timothy praised still made her genuinely happy, so she nodded in approval, "I don\'t interfere with the freedom of Sky Sanctuary\'s disciples. If you want to contact him, you can do so when he returns."

"Thank you, Goddess Sylvia!" Emperor Cedric was extremely grateful, "I\'ll go get Timothy\'s contact information for my daughter right away."

"Your daughter?" Sylvia was taken aback.

"Yes, with Timothy\'s unparalleled talents, how could he be without a partner? My daughter is also a beauty that could topple cities and nations. If Timothy agrees, it would be perfect for him to marry and join our families, welcoming him as the prince of Emerald Kingdom!" After saying this, Emperor Cedric excitedly walked away.

"Stop right there!" A cold voice suddenly rang out.

Sylvia was not amused.

She never expected someone to set their sights on Timothy so quickly.

Had she not asked that extra question, Cedric might have gotten away with his plan!

Sylvia clenched her teeth, "Timothy doesn\'t like your daughter. From now on, no one from the Emerald Kingdom is allowed into Sky Sanctuary, or else, I will flatten your entire kingdom tomorrow!"

Emperor Cedric was stunned, "Impossible, Timothy has never even met my daughter, how could he possibly dislike her?

Goddess, you promised not to restrict the personal freedom of Sky Sanctuary\'s disciples."

"Freedom in marriage counts as freedom too. You can\'t just because you\'ve been single for 600 years, prevent a promising young man like Timothy from having a love life!"

But before he could finish, a tremendous divine might crushed down.

In Sylvia\'s beautiful eyes, he clearly saw the intent to kill.

Emperor Cedric was terrified, his face ashen, "Goddess, please calm your anger, I dare not anymore, I\'m leaving now."

The people from the Emerald Kingdom were also scared out of their wits, leaving behind their treasures as they hurriedly fled for their lives.

The next one to step forward was Gwen, the chief female disciple from the Ethereal Palace. "Goddess Sylvia, this Snow Lotus Elixir is a secret tonic refined over generations by our Sect. It\'s known for preserving beauty, maintaining the skin, and enhancing one\'s appearance. Although you are flawlessly beautiful, Goddess, taking this might..."

"This tonic sounds good, I\'ll take it." Sylvia gently grasped the Snow Lotus Elixir and stored it in her spatial ring.

\'Hmph, that rascal Timothy, after I take this, I doubt he\'ll have the mind to flirt around.\'

Feeling slightly better, Sylvia asked, "So, what do you want?"

"If you\'re going to tell me you have a daughter or sister who wants to meet Timothy, don\'t blame me for kicking you out right away."

"Don\'t worry, Goddess, that\'s not it," Gwen smiled gracefully, her dress swaying to reveal her voluptuous figure.

"Actually, I just want to get to know Timothy in a purely platonic way. Please don\'t misunderstand, Goddess Sylvia. Although Timothy is handsome, talented, and has an extraordinary presence..."

"But I assure you, I have no ulterior motives. At most, after getting to know him, I might invite him to my room for a late-night chat by candlelight."

Instantly, a murderous aura filled the great hall from Sylvia: "Get out!"

"Goddess Sylvia, I was wrong, I won\'t dare again, please spare my life, Supreme Goddess!" Gwen, terrified and in tears, ran out of the hall like she was fleeing for her life.

Sylvia\'s gaze swept across the hall, her intent to kill palpable: "Any princesses thinking of marrying Timothy, get out, or don\'t blame me for being ruthless."

In an instant, the crowded hall cleared out, leaving only one man.

Sylvia was almost sick with anger.

It turned out that so many people in the hall, from various Sects, dynasties, nations, and even sacred lands, were all after Timothy!

What on earth did Timothy do in the Valley of the Undead to suddenly have so many rivals?

After a while, Sylvia managed to calm her anger and turned to the last young man remaining in the hall: "Speak, since you\'re not here to propose a marriage to Timothy, what are you here for?"

The young man smiled confidently: "Goddess Sylvia, rest assured, I\'m not like those vulgar people. Relationships between different sexes are for reproduction, true love is found in friendships. I\'ll be honest, I came here because I was inspired by Timothy\'s heroic figure in the Valley of the Undead, and I want to spar with him!"

"..."

The next moment, a figure was kicked out of Sky Sanctuary like a sandbag, tracing a perfect arc before crashing down the mountain.

Watching everyone flee the great hall in a panic, Timothy couldn\'t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Sure, he might have gone a bit overboard in the Mystic Realm, but the Ancient Saintly Body really should take most of the blame.

If it weren\'t for the Ancient Saintly Body, those female disciples in the secret realm wouldn\'t have been so utterly enchanted, fervently spreading tales of his great deeds everywhere.

This was still with the major powers trying to get ahead by keeping the news under wraps. Otherwise, the base of Sky Sanctuary would probably be swamped with crowds by now, bursting at the seams.

Seeing that the hall was now empty, Timothy finally walked in.

The moment Sylvia saw Timothy, her eyes, as serene as water, suddenly lit up.

After all, she had been waiting for him for a long time, even reading and rereading the love letter and the note Timothy had left her over and over again.

But as Timothy approached, Sylvia turned her head away, letting out a cold huff, her cheeks tinged with a petulant chill as if she didn\'t want to deal with him at all.

Timothy had no choice but to whisper softly in Sylvia\'s ear: "Goddess Sylvia~"

"Hmph!"

"Sylvia~"

"Hmph!"

"Sweetheart~"

"You!..."

Finally, Sylvia couldn\'t hold back any longer.
