The Steward Demonic Emperor Chapter 499

Poisoned[ … words ]

[ … words ]

The servants ran to and fro in the Imperial Palace. Hanging lamps and decorations for some big occasion. There was no big celebration though, since the sound of festivities never left the walls of the Imperial Palace.

In the witching hour, the moon hung high in the sky and the Imperial Palace shone like daylight, revealing four people in the wide hall.

The emperor seated on his throne, crown prince on the seat to his right, his largeness to his left and princess Yongning was seated further to the left.

Two generations of Yuwen clan had gathered here for a family picture, while servants stood to the side at attention.

Looking at his children, the aged emperor showed kindness, “Today is my birthday. It is not as lively as the celebration I had last year, but it is peaceful. It’s been too long since we sat together, as a family.”

“Imperial father, may you live for millenia, to care for our nation and be carefree. It is my privilege to be here with you and just talk at leisure.” Crown Prince bowed.

Fatty followed, while Yongning was still sour, flicking her head away.

The emperor began, “Crown Prince, I know you always go by the rules, but you are among family here. Can’t you let go of those old pedantic and empty formalities?”

“I obey the imperial father’s order.” Crown Prince bowed again.

The emperor sighed, from the imperial power and imperial grief. Even his own flesh and blood treated him like a stranger.

The emperor said, “Go on.”

“Imperial father, everyone covets the Crown Prince’s position. You appointed me early on and had everyone’s attention plastered on me so that fatty will have an easy time filling his future role.”

Crown Prince squinted, “The emperor is ruler supreme and is clear about every little thing happening in Tianyu. Over the decades, it was only the fatty roaming the lands. You didn’t seem to like him, giving him the worst tasks, while you actually favored him the most. You alienated him to protect him. All the tasks you picked for him were to shape him for the throne. While the great Crown Prince was still stuck with a target on his back, drawing everyone’s hostility, only to end up kicked to the curb at the end.”

Crown Prince’s eyes were bloodshot. The other two were hateful and unwilling but still turned to the emperor, stunned.

Yet the emperor only stared back at the Crown Prince…

Zhuo Yifan had everything. He was the Demon Emperor, a ruler whose name made the heavens tremble and the earth shake. Cultivators across every realm spoke of him in whispers, afraid that even saying his name aloud might draw his attention. He had power. He had fear. He had a student he trusted like a son.

Then he found the Nine Serenities Secret Records, an ancient emperor's book that held secrets older than the gods themselves. The moment it fell into his hands, every expert in the world wanted his head. They came from every direction, alliances forming overnight just to bring him down.

But the final blow did not come from his enemies. It came from the one person he never expected. His own student. Betrayed and overwhelmed, the Demon Emperor fell.

Death was supposed to be the end.

Instead, Zhuo Yifan opened his eyes in a body that was not his own. A weak body. A pathetic body. The body of a family servant named Zhuo Fan. No power. No status. No army of loyal followers. Just a servant's uniform and a lifetime of someone else's memories pressing against his own.

The original owner of this body left behind one thing. Regret. Deep, burning regret for the mistress he served, a young woman from a family that was crumbling into ruin. That regret clawed at Zhuo Yifan's soul, refusing to let him rest until he fulfilled the promise he never made.

So the Demon Emperor, the most feared cultivator of his age, found himself doing something ridiculous. He became a steward. A servant. A man forced to serve a mistress he never chose, in a family he never cared about, on a path he never wanted.

But here is the truth they do not see. Behind the servant's robes beats the heart of a demon emperor. Behind the bowed head watches the sharpest mind on the continent. Behind the respectful silence hides a man who has already conquered death once and is not afraid to do it again.

Just how can he lead this descending family to the pinnacle of this continent? The answer is simple. One step at a time. And woe to anyone who gets in his way.

The steward is smiling. That should be the first warning.
