Chapter 345: The Strategy of Attacking the Heart
update icon Updated at 2025/11/24 6:10:12

Three days later, Sui Liangfeng opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft couch. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the hazy dawn outside the tent, frowning involuntarily.

"What happened?" Sui Liangfeng rubbed his throbbing head. He felt a heavy dizziness.

He only remembered that the Emperor fed him a pill, and after that, he couldn't remember anything.

Sui Liangfeng got out of bed, walked out of the tent, felt the gentle morning breeze blowing on his cheeks, and exhaled a breath of relief. "What a pleasant feeling!"

"Sui Liangfeng, you're finally awake!" a familiar voice came from a distance.

Sui Liangfeng turned towards the sound and saw Qizhou wearing black armor, a dagger hanging from his waist, striding towards him with a confident look. "The Emperor has confirmed that you haven't betrayed the demon and haven't done anything to upset her. That's why he plans to use your strategy of attacking the hearts to station at the border of the Winged Man Kingdom."

"I have said that I haven't betrayed! But the Emperor just doesn't trust me." Sui Liangfeng said indignantly.

He had followed the Demon Emperor for many years, loyal and faithful, never doing anything to betray her. His comrades who had once shared the hardships with him, doubted him, and naturally he felt displeased.

"Sui Liangfeng, everyone believes that you won't betray the Emperor, but the second-ranked demon assassin, Poqi, chose to betray and nearly killed the Emperor. I believe you also understand the saying that one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel. That's why the Emperor suspects you. After all, you have lived in the Winged Man Kingdom for so long, and even became the mayor. It's hard not to arouse suspicion." Qizhou narrated the Emperor's ordeal.

After listening, Sui Liangfeng was surprised. "Are you saying that Poqi betrayed? But why would he do that?"

"He wants to become the Demon Emperor. If the Emperor dies, he, as the second-ranked demon assassin, naturally becomes the new heir to the throne, and he can then ruler over all the demons." Qizhou slowly explained, "The Fire Demon, Huangming, was killed by Poqi, fortunately, the Fire Demon had a successor."

Sui Liangfeng really couldn't imagine that Poqi would be so insane, actually wanting to seize the position of the Demon Emperor and even killing Huangming, the Fire Demon!

"What happened to Poqi?" Sui Liangfeng asked anxiously.

"Gurgle... Gurgle..." Suddenly, his stomach growled embarrassingly, and Sui Liangfeng instinctively covered his stomach.

"You can probably guess what happened to Poqi. Breakfast is ready, come with me." Qizhou said with a smile and walked towards a tent.

Sui Liangfeng followed closely behind as the two entered the tent together.

The tent was ordinary, with only a folding long table and a stack of chairs. There were several sets of tableware next to it.

On the table, there was a hearty breakfast emitting steaming hot air.

"Please have a seat!" Iris, sitting in the main seat, greeted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sui Liangfeng respectfully bowed and then sat on the chair. Then, he picked up an egg pancake with chopsticks and took a bite.

"Mmm! It's so fragrant! So delicious!" Sui Liangfeng exclaimed while eating.

"Hehe, eat more if you like it!" Iris smiled and said.

The five demon generals chatted and enjoyed their breakfast, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Before long, Baixi brought a bowl of red soup and placed it in front of Iris.

Iris took a spoon and took a sip.

The thick soup slid down her throat, and Iris couldn't help but show a look of enjoyment.

Baixi sat next to Iris, silently watching her mother's delighted expression, feeling proud and happy.

"Is it delicious, Your Majesty?" Baixi asked softly.

"Mmm!" Iris nodded.

The food Iris was consuming emitted a faint smell of blood, but within that scent of blood, there was a hint of special sweetness that made Iris unable to resist taking more bites.

Sui Liangfeng, watching the queen drinking blood, couldn't help but speak up, "Your Majesty, are you drinking blood?"

"Is there a problem?" Iris retorted.

"No!" Sui Liangfeng shook his head. He couldn't understand why blood would evoke such emotional fluctuations in the queen, especially since she never consumed blood before.

Qizhou, Shizhi, Beezelbub, and Ahri understood that the queen was a vampire and didn't find it strange for her to consume blood.

"Now that Your Majesty is a vampire, consuming blood is necessary. Without it, you will become weak," Qizhou explained.

"I see." Sui Liangfeng suddenly realized and nodded.

After breakfast, Iris and the five demon generals began discussing the matter of setting up a base near the Winged Man's country border.

"Your Majesty, I have been planning this plan for a long time. As long as you promise to provide enough food, clothing, and education for the border civilians, they will support us," Sui Liangfeng said.

"I agree to this condition," Iris nodded, "Sui Liangfeng, how long do you need to complete this task?"

"Your Majesty, it will only take one day," Sui Liangfeng replied.

"One day? That fast!" Ahri looked at Sui Liangfeng in surprise, finding it hard to believe his words.

"One day is enough," Sui Liangfeng said calmly, "I have mentioned before that this plan has been in the works for a long time. The Winged Man tribe worships an ancient creature named Anzu, a monstrous being with the body of a lion, claws, and the head and wings of an eagle. It would be ideal if we could have a massive creature like that to become the pillar of faith for the border Winged Man. Then these border Winged Man will be the best assistance in overthrowing Winged Man Your Majesty's power!"

"That's a good idea. Baixi, you will accompany Sui Liangfeng to the Winged Man's country border," Iris instructed.

"Understood, Your Majesty," Baixi obediently nodded. Acting was something she was adept at, especially when it involved a touch of deception. It was right up Baixi's alley!

"Uh..." Sui Liangfeng looked at Baixi, then at Iris, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, are you serious? This is clearly a young girl, how could she be a giant beast?"

"Show them," Iris gestured.

Baixi walked out of the tent and transformed into a dragon, soaring in the sky.

"Roar!" A resounding dragon roar, deafening and echoing through the clouds.

A white light shone upon the dragon, its white scales sparkling with dazzling silver light under the sunshine, as if the Milky Way had descended from the heavens, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Sui Liangfeng looked at the creature in the sky, unable to believe his own eyes, and excitedly shouted, "This plan will surely succeed!"

"I'll be here waiting for your good news," Iris stood up and gracefully walked out of the tent.

Shortly after, Baixi transformed from dragon to human form and followed Sui Liangfeng towards the border city of the winged man.
