Chapter 2778

Zhu Yanyi was brewing tea alongside the Empress and others. She poured the cups and distributed them, saying, "Actually, this is good. It serves as a warning to us."

Sometimes, when things are too peaceful, ambition grows. Perhaps the Evil Emperor’s existence serves exactly this purpose.

"I just hope our trip goes smoothly," the Empress said to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I hope so too. But given the Evil Emperor’s nature, I worry she will send out puppets while hiding in the shadows herself."

That was indeed something the Evil Emperor would do.

The other Emperor Venerables heard Zhu Yanyi’s words and felt amused. Hua Di said, "Medical Emperor, you seem to really look down on this Evil Emperor."

"If she’s just causing trouble for no reason, I don’t respect her, whether she is human or god," Zhu Yanyi replied. Then she added, "By the way, Hua Di, please call me Yan Hou. Although my duty is Medical Emperor, I prefer to be my husband’s wife when there is nothing urgent."

"Don’t many independent women prefer to be called by their titles alone? Why do you go the other way?" Hua Di glanced subtly at Yun Di, smiling as she looked at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "That is how I differ from other women. I never believe my career is my only identity. I am happy to become Medical Emperor; it shows my medical skills are recognized by the gods of the universe. But why did I achieve this? It is because I have people supporting me silently behind the scenes."

Zhu Yanyi poured herself another cup of tea and took a sip. "Before I started cultivating, my parents, siblings, and friends supported me. Later, my children did too. But after I became a god, the only one who supports me is my husband. We have weathered storms together and experienced everything. So, I never think being called Yan Hou or Yan Furen denies my ability. On the contrary, for me, these titles recognize my ability by acknowledging the person behind me. They remind me that my success is due to my husband’s constant support."

Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "So, I like hearing everyone call me Yan Hou or Yan Furen."

"Wife, you said that perfectly," Yan Aohan said happily.

"Of course. I am your wife. If I spoke poorly, wouldn’t that lose face for you?" Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile.

Hei Di chuckled lightly. "To be honest, I’m not used to not hearing you two show off your love for a hundred years."

"So, during these hundred years, did you often show off your love with the Empress in front of me?" Yan Aohan retorted.

Hei Di raised an eyebrow. "There are many loving couples in the world, not just you two. Since you often throw dog food at us, we naturally take the chance to show off our love in front of you while you are apart."

"Wife, he is bullying me," Yan Aohan said, not arguing with Hei Di but acting coquettishly with Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi patted Yan Aohan’s back. "Be good. I am here. They can show off their love in front of us, and we can continue throwing dog food in front of them. Let’s sweeten them to death."

"Mhm," Yan Aohan nodded shamelessly.

"You all are like this. You are not showing love to each other, but showing it off in front of us," Hua Di sighed.

Yun Di nodded beside him. "Isn’t that right?"

Then everyone laughed.

"Everyone is happy, eating, drinking, and joking now. But when we reach the Ancient Universe, it will likely not be so relaxed," Xian Di said.

"Yes, I just hope the matter with the Evil Emperor ends soon," others remarked.

Actually, they were not afraid to face the Evil Emperor. They were all Emperor Venerables, and the Evil Emperor was not necessarily superior to them. However, the Evil Emperor always had conspiracies and tricks, so someone might accidentally fall into his calculations. This was what worried them.

The Evil Emperor, who worried everyone, was not having an easy time either. He wanted to control the entire Ancient Universe, but the Ancient Emperor Venerables of that universe were not him. Therefore, he always felt restricted in his actions.

"Master, all the other gods of the Ancient Universe have been tricked into the secret realm. They will not come out for a hundred years," Mo Xiang said to the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor nodded. "That is good." He held a wine cup but did not drink, seeming lost in thought.

"Master, why do you want to control the Ancient Universe?" Mo Xiang knew her master liked to cause trouble, but she did not expect her to be so bold. she had provoked all the gods of the seven major universes.

Mo Xiang sighed inwardly. To be honest, she really could not see through her master.

A wicked charm appeared on the Evil Emperor’s lips. "It is fun."

(⊙o⊙)… Fun. That reason was truly powerful.

"Um, by the way, Master, Yan Hou has been sealed as the only Medical Emperor," Mo Xiang thought for a moment and then said.

"This Emperor knows," he replied. "How could I not know such a big announcement?"

Usually, if an Emperor Venerable ascends in local abyssal secret realms, only the local universe knows. But Zhu Yanyi was originally the Medical God of the Supreme Universe, yet she ascended in the Initial Universe. Therefore, this ascension was known across all major universes. Moreover, because the title was "Only," the title of Medical Emperor would never appear again.

"Only. I really did not expect that," the Evil Emperor sighed deeply. "This Emperor originally thought that although Yan Hou could become Medical Emperor, she would just be one among many. But now, she has the title of 'Only.' I wonder if other Medical Gods will be shocked when they hear this news."

"There is no news about that so far," Mo Xiang answered seriously. "Mainly because we have no Medical Gods in our Ancient Universe."

Since there were no Medical Gods, there could naturally be no candidates for Medical Emperor.

"What a pity," the Evil Emperor said with a regretful expression. "This Emperor originally wanted to see how she would react if someone provoked her. But I did not expect there to be no Medical Gods. It seems the abilities of the gods in our Ancient Universe are just so-so."

"Master, do not stir up trouble just for the sake of it," Mo Xiang reminded him.

The Evil Emperor glanced at Mo Xiang. "This Emperor is not that kind of person. I am just a bit regretful. If there were Medical Gods, I wonder what the situation would be if they fought the Medical Emperor. You must know, humans have jealousy. Similarly, this Emperor does not believe Medical Gods lack jealousy."

Mo Xiang did not want to remind him anymore. What "not that kind of person"? Listening to his words, it was obvious he was exactly that kind of person.

"Master, if my guess is correct, the gods coming to punish you will arrive in the Ancient Universe in about a year."
