Chapter 377 - 377 83 Is a Grudge Without Reason【2 in 1】_3

Chapter 377: Chapter 83: Is a Grudge Without Reason?【2 in 1】_3 Chapter 377: Chapter 83: Is a Grudge Without Reason?【2 in 1】_3 During that period, the Purple Emperor was almost driven mad by the Golden Emperor’s face of unfulfilled desires!

When the Purple Emperor was about to complete his work, he seized the opportunity of a gathering of VIPs to publicly say to the Golden Emperor: “I was fortunate enough to receive the Soulwood Substitute, which fell into my hands due to your kindness back in the day. You and I have been entangled for so many years because of it. As the saying goes, a feud should be resolved, not prolonged…”

“…This prolonged entanglement is not good for either of us… I am going to make the Soulwood into a substitute puppet. I expect to complete two, and when the time comes, I’ll give one to you, completely ending this cause-and-effect relationship, we should let bygones be bygones, what say you?”

The Purple Emperor was confident that he could make three but naturally, he didn’t tell the truth, only saying he expected to complete two.

Such a huge secret is best kept to oneself!

What if another Golden Emperor jumps out and asks for a puppet as well?

At that time, the Demon Kings and other figures of the Nine Colors Supreme were present, and they all witnessed this under the influence of wine.

The Golden Emperor agreed readily.

Because the reason he initially obtained the Soulwood Substitute and why he hassled the Purple Emperor, wasn’t it just for this purpose?

He had the treasures but didn’t know how to create the substitute. Moreover, it was later snatched away by the Purple Emperor… How could he not be angry? How could he let it go?

So when he heard what the Purple Emperor said, he was thrilled—from head to toe. He even joked: “If the Purple Emperor had said this earlier, there wouldn’t have been so many years of bitterness… I would have sent it to your home long before, and I would have been content with just one.”

So, under the witness of the VIPs, the two of them shook hands and made peace, and they even got quite drunk.

It was said that the scene was unprecedentedly harmonious.

But after the Purple Emperor returned, he put more effort into collecting materials, and provided some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Seeing the Golden Emperor’s goodwill, the Purple Emperor was more relaxed, and naturally more motivated at his work, so the substitute puppet was successfully made quite swiftly.

After it was done, the Purple Emperor immediately sent a person to invite the Golden Emperor to a meeting place, and even put on a show: that a mysterious gift was to be given.

The Golden Emperor was ecstatic on the spot, a mysterious gift? Ha-ha-ha, don’t I know that is the substitute puppet?

So he pretended to be unknowing, eagerly confirmed his attendance to see this mysterious gift, and began to collect a large number of gifts from across the Demon Clan, clearly preparing to reciprocate the Purple Emperor’s kindness.

One could say that if things developed in this way, it would have been a perfect human-demon love story passed down through the ages.

And the Purple Emperor and the Golden Emperor, because of this incident, would certainly become closer friends, and the relationship more profound…

Even becoming genuine friends, or perhaps even comrades willing to risk their lives for each other.

Indeed, the Purple Emperor even prematurely celebrated a bit. After all, after all the twists and turns with the Golden Emperor, the Great Yan basically got a powerful helper!

The Purple Emperor was very happy.

The Golden Emperor was also very happy.

Both were more than just happy, they were excited, both looking forward to the day of their next meeting.

Finally, the day was fast approaching…

But neither the Purple Emperor nor the Golden Emperor could have dreamed that just three days before the appointed time, the substitute puppet…

Was stolen!

Stolen?

The treasured possession of a peak existence of this age, was stolen!

Not a single one was missed, all three substitute puppets were smoothly swiped away by Sky Stealer!

It was precisely because of this theft that Sky Stealer got another nickname-“There is no treasure under the sky that Sky Stealer can’t steal”!

If he dares to, and is even able to steal the Purple Emperor’s possessions, then is there something in this world that Sky Stealer can’t steal?

If one must insist that there is, then it would only be the sky, which can’t be stolen, right?!

As the fame of Sky Stealer was making a big noise, the victim, the Purple Emperor, was directly dumbfounded.

Fuck! The thing I promised for hundreds of years is gone!

Where can he find a substitute puppet to give to the Golden Emperor now!?

In the urgency, he simply couldn’t find the damn Sky Stealer, and to make matters worse, the meeting with the Golden Emperor was around the corner. The Purple Emperor felt like his whole body was breaking down!

It was challenging and yet had to be faced. The Golden Emperor was now inviting other demon emperors and friends, eagerly waiting at the meeting place. But from his side… the mysterious gift was gone!?

In desperation, the Purple Emperor called upon White Rainbow and a few other helpers to go and explain the situation.

After arriving, they first made small talk, had a little drink, and finally… the Purple Emperor seized an opportunity to guiltily reveal what happened.

“…The substitute puppet was stolen…”

The Purple Emperor would never forget the Golden Emperor’s reaction at that moment.

It was the sort of expression one wears when they’re at their happiest peak, when they’re the most thrilled, when they’re ecstatic, when they feel that everything in life has fallen into place and everything is proceeding smoothly. They’re just so bursting with joy, with warmth in their eyes… but it suddenly changed!

Even ten or so seconds after he heard this sentence, his face hadn’t changed, he couldn’t stop his original emotion.

At that moment…the whole scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Then, after a series of predictable and yet unbelievable inquiries, and a guilt-ridden explanation…

The Golden Emperor collapsed on the spot!

That kind of collapse is really unimaginable for ordinary people.

I’ve been waiting for so many years. In the summer, I sent you fruits. In the winter, I sent you food, medicinal materials, heavenly treasures, and specialties…
