Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Half-human, Half-demon Ye Qingqing

But before the image could begin to play, someone in the crowd said, “What are you, good-for-nothings? How dare you come here to slander Sir Ye! ”

After those words, not only Ye Qingwan and the others, but even Ye Yu glanced at the people around him in surprise.

“Over the years, Ye Yu has done so much for Great Yan, things you can’t see, but we see clearly. We admire Sir Ye’s character! ”

“Exactly! Who in Qingzhou doesn’t know Sir Ye’s character? Only you people from Great Yan are ungrateful! ”

Even Ye Yu didn’t expect that there would be so many people in Great Qin supporting him.

Yet, those Great Yan subjects he risked his life to protect were swayed by Ye Xuan’s few words.

For a moment, even though Ye Yu no longer cared about such things, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“Sir Ye’s character? You’ll find out after you watch this! ” Ye Qingxuan sneered, nodding at Ye Qingshuang.

Ye Qingshuang nodded, infused it with spiritual energy, and the image began to play.

When the image began to play.

Everyone saw the dilapidated Crown Prince’s East Palace and sighed, looking at Ye Yu with disbelief.

Many Great Qin subjects present were mortals; seeing the image, their faces were filled with shock. This dignified Crown Prince of Great Yan lived in a place worse than their own homes.

Even Ye Qingshuang was shocked.

Since traveling with Cang Yun, Ye Qingshuang rarely returned to Great Yan, and even if she did, she wouldn’t go to the East Palace.

But she never imagined that the Crown Prince’s East Palace had become this way.

Listening to the discussions around her, Ye Qingxuan’s expression wasn’t good, but soon she gritted her teeth and said, “Keep watching, you’ll see that he, Ye Yu, doesn’t deserve sympathy, because he secretly colluded with the Demon Race. ”

After those words, everyone’s expressions changed, and they all looked at Ye Yu in shock.

The Demon Race is the common enemy of all of the Human Race. If Ye Yu really colluded with the Demon Race, no matter how outstanding Ye Yu is or how great his achievements are, he will be the public enemy of all.

Ye Yu, however, remained calm, because he remembered this scene.

This scene involved another person.

Then Ye Yu turned around with a strange expression and said to Ye Qingxuan, “I advise you not to continue playing it. ”

“Afraid now? Too late! Now, even if you kneel and beg me to cure you, I won’t agree! I will let the whole world know your true face! ” Ye Qingxuan scoffed, thinking Ye Yu was afraid.

After saying that, Ye Qingxuan also had Ye Qingshuang set a restriction so that no one could interrupt before the image finished playing.

Ye Yu shrugged, “You can’t reason with a stubborn person. ” Ye Qingxuan was determined to do this, so he couldn’t say anything. Anyway, it wouldn’t be embarrassing for him.

The image quickly progressed, and soon, a flash of bloody light appeared in a corner of the image.

The mortals watching didn’t feel anything, but those with some cultivation base all changed expression.

Although the Recording Stone recorded the image, those with cultivation base could still feel the spiritual energy fluctuations within.

The moment the bloody light appeared, they all felt disgust and fear. Undoubtedly, it was Demonic Qi!

Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Master was deceived by Ye Yu. The bl00d poison was administered by Ye Yu. He even claimed that Ye Yu was a Seventh-Rank Alchemist. How was that possible?!

Feeling the strange looks from everyone, Ye Yu wasn’t flustered at all, calmly watching the image continue, memories flooding back.

In the image, the bloody light became brighter, and the Demonic Qi became stronger, as if it was about to burst out of the image.

Soon, a figure appeared in the image.

After seeing that person, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingshuang widened their eyes and exclaimed, “Fourth Sister?!? ”

Hearing the two of them, everyone around them immediately reacted.

The Fourth Princess of Great Yan, Ye Qingqing!

There had been rumors that the Fourth Princess of Great Yan, Ye Qingqing, was contaminated by Demon Bl00d and became a Half-Human, Half-Demon.

They originally thought it was a rumor, but now, looking at Ye Qingqing in the image, whose body was filled with demonic energy, it wasn’t a rumor; it was clearly true.

No wonder they hadn’t seen the Fourth Princess of Great Yan at any public event for so many years.

How could she show her face like this?

The Human Race has always been ruthless towards Demonic Cultivators. Once they discover anyone secretly colluding with the Demon Race, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one guilty person escape, let alone a Half-Human, Half-Demon.

Earlier, Ye Xuan falsely accused Ye Yu of being a member of the Demon Race in the Great Yan Imperial Palace, and he wasn’t killed on the spot. This was partly because Ye Qingwan knew it was Ye Xuan’s trick, and partly because of the precedent of Ye Qingqing.

“Quickly! Turn it off! ” Ye Qingxuan urged.

Ye Qingshuang also reacted and quickly tried to remove the restriction, but it wasn’t that fast.

In the image, Ye Qingqing had already come before Ye Yu, and immediately reached out and grabbed his neck, dragging the badly injured Ye Yu up from the ground, and then plunged a hand into his stomach.

Bl00d gushed out immediately.

Ye Yu’s hand produced a dagger, which he plunged into Ye Qingqing’s chest.

Seeing such a bloody scene, many people exclaimed.

Some of the timid ones even closed their eyes. After all, most of those present were mortals, and they had never seen such a scene.

Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingshuang were stunned.

Soon, Ye Qingshuang reacted and scolded, “You actually attacked Qingqing! Are you even human?!”

Ye Yu turned around and glanced at Ye Qingshuang indifferently, then smiled, “What? She wanted to kill me, and I had to stand there and let her? I’m not allowed to fight back? ”

“You good-for-nothing, how dare you compare yourself to Qingqing…” Ye Qingshuang continued to scold, but she was stopped by Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan now remembered that day’s events and looked at Ye Yu with a complicated expression, finally focusing on the image.

When Ye Qingxuan arrived that day, Ye Qingqing was unconscious, and Ye Yu was lying on the ground badly injured. But she didn’t know what had happened before.

In the image, Ye Qingqing winced in pain and released Ye Yu, who fell to the ground, bl00d gushing from his abdomen.

But Ye Qingqing’s wound was healing. Then she grabbed her head and let out a painful roar, constantly banging her head on the ground. The demonic energy around her grew stronger, and she was about to truly become a demon.

The fallen Ye Yu suddenly smiled slightly. The dagger in his hand suddenly lit up, and runes rose from it.

Ye Qingqing’s originally healed wound broke open again, but this time, a stream of dark golden bl00d was drawn out and merged into the dagger.

After absorbing the last drop of golden bl00d, the dagger suddenly turned gray and dull, falling to the ground and breaking into several pieces.

Ye Qingqing’s face suddenly turned pale, as if she had lost all her strength, and she fell to the ground, her breathing becoming weaker and weaker.
