  Shi Xiaobai focused on the Infernal Queen's eyes and said with a deep voice, "Your strength can clearly one-shot This King! Why are you pretending to be the Infernal Queen and trying all means to seduce This King! What is your goal? And...who the hell are you!?"

  Chapter399 The Seductive Infernal Queen

  "Who the hell are you!?"

  Shi Xiaobai asked the question that puzzled him the most.

  He could tell that the Infernal Queen in front of him was not the real Infernal Queen, but he could not figure out who the fake Infernal Queen was.

  With absolute strength that overwhelmed him but had to pretend to be the Infernal Queen to seduce him. Who would do that?

  "Clap! Clap! Clap..."

  The crisp sound of applause sounded. The Infernal Queen beamed as she clapped. She said softly, "I never expected you to see through me so fast. That's right, I'm really not the real Infernal Queen, but...don't you want to turn something fake into reality?"

  The Infernal Queen's eyes flashed with a seductive look as she took a step forward. She lifted her arms and raised the jade bunnies in front of her chest. She split her legs slightly and exposed the most enticing but unspeakable things.

  "As long as you want it, this lovely body will be yours to play with."

  The Infernal Queen's voice was charming and seductive. It sounded like decadent moaning which could easily stir the desires of others.

  Shi Xiaobai calmly focused on the Infernal Queen's naked body but he did not show the slightest bit of fascination, nor did he deliberately turn his head away. He studied the enticing private parts of the Infernal Queen as though he was looking at a cold piece of rock.

  "You pretended to be the Infernal Queen and made so many lies. The goal is to seduce This King, so how could This King fall for it despite knowing it?"

  Shi Xiaobai said with a sneer, "If you still have any sense of shame, put your clothes on."

  The Infernal Queen was stunned when she heard this and she snorted coldly, "Shi Xiaobai, is it possible that you are impotent? Or is it possible that you do not like tainted goods? Don't worry, this body has never been touched by anyone else. If you wish, you can become her only man. Aren't you even stirred at all?"

  Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said with a scoff, "It seems like you still haven't figured out the situation. It's not that This King does not have any physiological response. By stripping naked, This King will obviously harden as a form of courtesy, but This King is not like the perverted schlocks that only think with their dicks."

  "How boring."

  The Infernal Queen sighed before turning around to pick up her clothes. She wore them at an adequate pace, but it was apparent that the Infernal Queen was still insistent. She continued posing in a seductive manner as she put the clothes on while staring at Shi Xiaobai. She looked even more enticing than when she was taking the clothes off.

  Shi Xiaobai continued ignoring the Infernal Queen's final efforts as he calmly asked, "Who are you?"

  The Infernal Queen slowly pulled up her panties that were already between her legs. When she raised her thigh, she deliberately came to a stop. When she heard Shi Xiaobai's question, she smiled with squinted eyes, "Try guessing?"

  Shi Xiaobai was appalled. The Infernal Queen's remark revealed something completely different from her mature demeanor. It resembled more like a playful girl.

  Shi Xiaobai was momentarily left at a loss as to how to respond.

  However, the Infernal Queen's interest was suddenly stirred. As she looked at Shi Xiaobai with a grin, she said, "I'll give you three chances. If you are able to guess my identity correct in the three chances, I'll honestly admit to it. However, if you are unable to guess it after three times, you will never know the truth. Cherish the precious opportunity. I suddenly look forward to the question of whether you are able to guess of my identity with your intelligence."

  Shi Xiaobai faltered for a moment but he did not reject the Infernal Queen's suggestion.

  He was very confident in his own intelligence.

  "For This King to be designated as the Infernal King by the assessment program, it means the scheme must be related to the assessment program. This King is unable to precisely guess your identity, but there is one thing that can't be wrong!"

  Shi Xiaobai said confidently, "You were created by the assessment program. The assessment program gave you the Infernal Queen's body and identity, and provided you with information regarding This King. It also gave you immense strength and also the mission of seducing This King!"

  This was the only information that Shi Xiaobai had managed to infer. He was confident that he wasn't wrong.

  However, the Infernal Queen shook her head and said without even thinking, "Wrong, especially wrong!"

  Shi Xiaobai was flabbergasted. That could actually be wrong?

  However, from the Infernal Queen's grinning expression, it looked like she was relishing Shi Xiaobai's failure at guessing. It did not seem like she was lying

  However, if the Infernal Queen was not sent by the assessment program, how did she gain the identity rights of the Infernal Queen?

  Shi Xiaobai hurriedly turned his head as his eyes lit up. "You previously said—'this body has never been touched by anyone else. If you wish, you can become her only man'. You referred your body as 'her', which points to the fact that the body isn't yours. You only replaced the Infernal Queen's soul! You were not created by the assessment program, but you also have the ability to replace the Infernal Queen's soul. Then there are two possibilities. Firstly, you do not belong to the land of the trials. You are an outsider! Secondly, you are the...Level Lord!?"

  When the Infernal Queen heard this, she fell silent for a moment. She gave Shi Xiaobai a deep glance and said, "You are very smart. You were able to manage to notice such tiny details. Even I didn't notice that I had revealed anything, but you were able to infer so much from it. You are indeed impressive. But...you guessed wrong."

  Shi Xiaobai gaped slightly. He did not shout out aghast 'how can it be possible' like ordinary people when facing such a situation. Instead, he continued thinking. Even though his extremely convincing theory had been denied without any reason, he was not thrown into confusion.

  A look of admiration flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes as she chuckled and said, "You have already guessed twice, but gave three answers. Technically speaking, you have failed. However, I'm truly looking forward to you being able to guess my identity, so I'll give you one last chance. You still have three other chances. Go ahead and guess. Who am I?"

  Shi Xiaobai fell silent as he gave the Infernal Queen a silent glance. Suddenly, he turned towards the desk and nonchalantly picked up a book to flip through it.

  "Have you given up?"

  A look of disappointment flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes.

  Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Give up? Such a word does not exist. This King just doesn't want to waste the third opportunity. Rest assured. This King will manage to guess your identity. Just wait till the moment when This King has enough clues. This King hopes that when he reveals your real identity, you would be able to uphold your promise and admit it honestly."

  Shi Xiaobai did not like to make blind guesses without any reason. He knew that if he were to blindly guess, it would be a waste of an opportunity.

  When the Infernal Queen heard this, she beamed even more as she chuckled, "Then, I'll look forward to it."

  As the Infernal Queen laughed, she walked towards the large and soft silk-laden bed.

  "You are the fake Infernal King and I'm the Infernal Queen. Two fakes make it true, so why don't you turn something fake into reality?"

  The Infernal Queen threw herself onto the bed and rolled on it once. Squirming into the blanket, she said seductively, "I'll first warm the bed. Whenever you want to come to bed, I'll open my legs to warmly welcome you."

  Shi Xiaobai only s
miled silently at the seductive Infernal Queen's words. He cast his gaze back on the desk. He chose to expose her in order to prevent the Infernal Queen from sexual harassment. It gave him more time to investigate clues left behind by the real Infernal King.

  However, just as Shi Xiaobai was flipping through a small notebook that resembled a diary, a loud explosion sounded from the distance.

  Immediately following that, a high-pitched alarm resounded incessantly throughout the entire Infernal domain.

  The silence outside the bedroom was instantly broken by panicked footsteps and noisy shouts.

  "What's the situation!?"

  Shi Xiaobai instinctively looked at the Infernal Queen and asked.

  In bed, the Infernal Queen yawned lazily and said with squinted eyes, "You ask me, but who can I ask?"

  It was obvious that she was feigning ignorance, but her emotive acting was extremely playful. It was like she was saying 'I know, but I'll not tell you. Are you angry?'

  Shi Xiaobai laughed from his anger, but there was nothing he could do about her. Putting down the notebook in hand, he walked out to figure out what had happened.

  Damn it, it's infuriating. Exposing her appeared a bit too early.

  Chapter400 No one can prevent the war!

  Celestial domain, round table meeting room

  "As Celestial King, does This King not even have the slightest bit of authority? This King is now commanding to cancel all the battle plans of invading the Infernal domain!"

  Speechless was looking with a gloomy face at seven Celestial Elders, who were sitting in front of a large, round table. It was rumored that the seven Celestial Elders were descendants with the purest bloodline, but from Speechless's point of view, they were just seven elderly dwarfs with sallow skin.

  The seven dwarves remained unperturbed despite Speechless appearing like he would go mad at any moment. They seemed oblivious of the wrath of the Celestial King that was about to be triggered.

  The most esteemed Grand Elder of the seven Elders was the first to speak by saying, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I'm afraid you do not have the right to cancel the battle plans."

  Speechless said with a sneer, "Why doesn't This King not have the right? Try telling This King what rights he possesses when This King is the most esteemed Celestial King of the Celestial domain?"

  The Grand Elder faltered slightly before he quickly gave an indifferent smile. He said nonchalantly, "A thousand years ago, the Celestial domain has begun a round-table parliamentary system. The round-table system is not only the highest legislative branch of the Celestial domain, it is also the one with the highest authority in the Celestial domain. Even Your Majesty was elected by the round-table parliament. Therefore, all important matters in the Celestial domain are decided by the round-table! And as the Celestial King, Your Majesty has the right to participate in matters regarding the Celestial domain. Furthermore, one of your votes is counted as two."

  "Of course, you, Your Majesty, have quite a good deal of preferential treatment. For example, Your Majesty has the preferential right to choose from the various resources of the Celestial domain. Your Majesty can also enjoy the best delicacies and best beauties of the Celestial domain. When the citizens of the Celestial domain see Your Majesty, they have to respectfully salute Your Majesty and are not to treat Your Majesty frivolously. If there is a diplomatic situation, Your Majesty's image will represent the Celestial domain. There are many similar rights. In summary, other than important matters of the Celestial domain that require the deliberation of parliament, the other matters are free for Your Majesty to decide."

  Speechless fell into a daze when he heard this. He could not help but cringe in his heart.

  Wasn't this a fucking parliamentary monarchy? Fuck that round-table parliament!

  However, as compared to the parliamentary monarchies in the human world, the Celestial domain's parliament was much smaller in size. The seven Elders decided on the important matters of the country, so basically, the rights were concentrated in the Grand Elder's hands. Although he as the Celestial King had two votes, it was useless when it was two against seven.

  Speechless never imagined that the Celestial King was in such an awkward situation in the Celestial domain. It appeared as though all rights were concentrated in the king, allowing him to lord over thousands of people, but he was actually just a 'puppet ruler' who had his rights removed. A round-table parliament had directly removed the ruling rights of the Celestial King. It was no wonder he had a nagging feeling that the bull-horned guard's attitude towards him was not like what a king with the right to kill should have.

  As for what the Grand Elder said about enjoying delicacies and beauties, that was something even more to scoff at. The subtext of those rights was very simple—Your Majesty, just enjoy gallivanting and leave the Celestial domain to us.

  In short, the Celestial King was the round-table parliament's, no, the seven Elders' political puppet!

  Speechless suddenly thought of something and immediately asked in wonder, "Since This King does not have the right to single-handedly decide on important matters of the country, how was This King be able to go against all odds and pass the plan of invading the Infernal domain?"

  The Grand Elder chuckled, "Your Majesty, are you joking? Or have you not woken up yet?"

  Speechless' eyes flashed a cold beam as he looked at the Grand Elder. He said with a sneer, "What do you think? Answer This King. Although This King does not have absolute rights, don't forget that This King is the strongest person in the Celestial domain."

  The seven Elders looked at each other when they heard him. They found it ridiculous.

  Did the Celestial King plan on using force to threaten them? Did he really think that he was the strongest person in the Celestial domain?

  However, it was apparent that the Grand Elder did not want to lose all decorum with the Celestial King. Hence, he signaled to the other Elders before pretending to appear respectful. He said, "Your Majesty, although the round-table parliament is the core decision maker of the Celestial domain, Your Majesty is still a supreme existence. You possess the greatest right in the Celestial domain—the Will of the King. Every Celestial King has the right to use the 'Will of the King' once during his rule. You can propose any executive order that parliament has to pass as long as the order does not lead the Celestial domain towards destruction. Just two days ago, you used the 'Will of the King'. The executive order was to launch a full-scale invasion of the Infernal domain. Although it did not match with the peaceful concept of the Celestial domain, it was not one that would lead the Celestial domain towards destruction. Therefore, parliament eventually passed your order!"

  When Speechless heard this, he fell silent for a moment. Two days ago was the period when he just arrived in the seventh level. He was still touring the world to kill time. The Celestial King, who used the 'Will of the King', clearly wasn't him, but the real Celestial King. But this was something unprecedented in previous trials. What was the reason or what was the thing that changed or triggered the plot to go down such a strange path.

  Speechless sighed in his heart. But clearly, he would not give up on preventing the war. He looked at the Grand Elder and said softly, "If This King remembers correctly, back when This King proposed the executive order of launching a full-out invasion of the Infernal domain, the seven of you had vehemently opposed it. Why are all of you vehemently opposing This King's present intent of cancelling the executive order of the Infernal domain invasion?"

  The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "Back when Your Majesty proposed the executive order of invading the Infernal domain, it was a conflict with the 'Isolation and Peaceful Act' that was passed through the Will of the King used by the Celestial King from a thousand years ago. As there was worry that the Celestial soldiers were unable to adapt to a sudden war after a thousand years of peace, we had unanimously raise
d our objections. But since you used the Will of the King, we could only choose to pass it. And at this moment, Your Majesty suddenly want us to cancel the attack. With all due respect, it's too late!"

  Speechless said coldly, "Why is it too late?"

  The Grand Elder said with a sigh, "It's because the first division has already begun carrying out the mission. And according to intelligence reported a minute ago, Commander Maio lives up to our expectations and successfully destroyed a segment of the array formation. The war between the Celestial domain and the Infernal domain has already begun."

  Speechless said in a deep voice, "The war has yet to begin. It's only the destruction of a segment of the array formation. According to what This King knows, the Infernal domain's barrier's array formation has more than a thousand segments. Only by destroying more than half of them would the Infernal domain's barrier be considered destroyed. Things have not proceeded to an irrecoverable state. We just need to take the initiative to make peace with the Infernal domain!"

  "Peace?"

  The Grand Elder could not help but laugh, "Your Majesty, you are really confused. Since time immemorial, gods and demons stood on opposite sides in an eternal conflict. The Celestial domain and the Infernal domain were arch-rivals to begin with. The Celestial-Infernal war that happened a thousand years ago caused the absolute destruction of life. It made the benevolent Celestial King choose to initiate the retreat so as to end the war. We signed a peace agreement that the Celestials are never to step out of the Celestial domain. Only then was the Celestial-Infernal war ended. But now, the Celestial domain had not only disregarded the agreement by stepping out of the Celestial domain. It has also destroyed a segment of the Infernal domain's array formation. What reaction do you think the Infernal domain will have? The war has already begun. This time, even if we concede once more, the Infernal domain will definitely not easily spare us!"
