Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Being rewarded at the birthday celebration of the devil emperor was undoubtedly an honor. Yet Qin Wentian said that because he contributed nothing, he didn’t dare to accept the reward. There was no doubt that he didn’t want to give the devil emperor face.

In this vast space, the atmosphere was extremely nervous. Rejecting the devil emperor during his banquet was something unprecedented.

Even the gaze of the Blackstone Devil King froze there, staring dumbly at Qin Wentian, sweating cold sweat for him. This little fellow was too crazy, even if he was unhappy about the decision, he shouldn’t smack the face of the devil emperor in public.

He was the devil emperor, no matter how outstanding your talent is, you are merely a junior. If he wished to kill you, he could easily pinch you to death with a single sentence, just like killing an ant.

Let alone the devil emperor, all the devil kings here were able to kill him effortlessly.

"Sir Qin." Xin Yu’s countenance was filled with nervousness, she was worried for Qin Wentian.

Things of the world kept changing, not long ago she still felt proud of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian displayed that level of combat prowess and obtained the recognition of the devil emperor, the focal point of attention from a crowd of millions. However, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed completely.

The originator of all of this was naturally the Old Xia Devil King. However, who would dare to say anything? After all, everything was still eventually decided by the devil emperor.

Even if Qin Wentian was unhappy, he should have suppressed it. After today, any of the major powers here would still be for his choosing. But now that he rejected the reward, where else would there still be a place for him to stay here in the Fallen Devil Region.

Yan Yuruo clenched her fists, sighing at why Qin Wentian was so impulsive.

Even Huang Shatian was shocked, turning over to glance at Qin Wentian. This fellow was truly very proud. He even dared to directly reject the reward given by the devil emperor.

If it was he himself who was suffering from this unjust treatment, maybe he would also have chosen the same as Qin Wentian, rejecting the reward. This was their pride.

However, Huang Shatian naturally wouldn’t feel guilty at all. The adjudication battle was of utmost importance. Other than wanting to defeat Qin Wentian, Huang Shatian wanted to win the adjudication battle even more.

"All of us had no contributions as well, and don’t dare to accept the reward." Qi Da and the rest spoke, all of them rejecting the reward. The tension in the air grew more intense, quiet but heavy.

The gazes of many turned to the devil emperor.

"How insolent." The Old Xia Devil King had a cold look on his face. "You guys are doubting the decision made by his Majesty? What gall!"

Qin Wentian frowned. After fighting against Huang Shatian, regardless of him or Huang Shatian, both were now in a very weak state. He knew that rejecting the reward would only place him at a disadvantage but sometimes, one’s principles couldn’t be put down. This was a respect to himself.

If he was defeated, or if he was inferior to Old Chai and Xia Yuan, he would naturally have nothing to say. But in such a clear situation, even the blind could tell how biased this was, wanting him to accept the reward was simply an extreme humiliation. He wasn’t able to do it.

"Senior is an expert at the devil king level, yet your words are so filthy, causing people to be disappointed. All of us came to participate in this event simply to offer our congratulations to His Majesty. With no other contributions, we naturally have no reason to accept the rewards. Our actions were just and aboveboard yet when in the mouth of senior, it became an act of insolence. Might I dare to ask, is that the bearing an esteemed senior should have?"

Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his tone neither servile nor overbearing.

The eyes of the Old Xia Devil King flashed with coldness. It was because of him that the devil emperor made this decision and hence, now Qin Wentian’s rebuttal felt as though it was slapping his face which was why he was angered.

"Enough, you all have the freedom of choice. Retreat for now." At this moment, the devil emperor calmly spoke. The beautiful women bearing the rewards all retreated. Old Xia Devil King had an icy expression on his face, but since the devil emperor has already spoken, it naturally wouldn’t be appropriate for him to say anything more.

"Everyone, return to your seats." The devil emperor calmly continued. He and Old Xia were buddies who went through life-and-death situations together. However, this matter wasn’t handled beautifully and it’s inevitable for the young to have a bit of temper. He wouldn’t be angry with Qin Wentian over this.

Qin Wentian and the other participants walked down the platform, returning to their seats. Huang Shatian still sat down beside him, both of them didn’t seemed to be mortal enemies.

Xin Yu’s soft body leaned into Qin Wentian’s embrace as she transmitted her voice, "Sir Qin, why must you place yourself in such a situation? Although the devil emperor wasn’t angered, some of his subordinates may take offense and act against you. Also, your outstanding performance on the battlefield earlier might have offended many others, doing so would be extremely disadvantageous for you."

Qin Wentian glanced at the beauty in his embrace, he then heard the devil kings laughing, many of them praising Huang Shatian with some commending Old Chai and Xia Yuan. He himself has become a transparent man, being forgotten and ignored. Evidently to these devil king experts, even if he had extreme talent, the attitude of the devil emperor was still more important.

As the adage goes, emotions are cold. When one is in glory, they would have friends everywhere. But once they lost their influence and power, these so-called friends would all disappear. Let alone the fact that he had no connection with these devil kings. What made Qin Wentian somewhat taken aback was that the beauty in his embrace, Xin Yu, actually didn’t choose to avoid him and was still as affectionate as before.

Although her affectionate attitude wasn’t timely, it still caused him to feel warmth in his heart.

"Since you know the larger situation and can see things so clearly, why are you still acting so close to me? You should distance yourself from me by right." Qin Wentian replied in a low voice.

"Xin Yu originally has nothing to my name. Or could it be that there would still be someone who will take out his anger on me because of Sir Qin? In addition, Sir Qin’s earlier promise to me did make me a little suspicious but now, I can see the truth of it. I’m filled with endless gratitude for the fact that when we first met back then, Sir Qin is willing to truly redeem my freedom for me."

Qin Wentian bitterly smiled while shaking his head. He sighed in his heart and continued transmitting his voice, "Xin Yu, can you help me to do one thing?"

"Sir, please instruct me." Xin Yu replied.

"I need to know if there are any other powerful devil regions beside the Fallen Devil Region. It would be for the best if the region is stronger than here. Also, I would need the region to be a place where I can travel to, using the teleportation array here in the Fallen Devil Region." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over. Right now, Huang Shatian was ahead by a step. He naturally couldn’t sit and wait for death, waiting for the devil emperor to give the command to fulfil Huang Shatian’s request.

"I heard the residence lodge once say that there are other regions nearby but I don’t know the exact details. After all, I have never came into contact with other devil regions before. Don’t worry, I will help Sir Qin to probe a little." Xin Yu replied.

"Alright." Qin Wentian nodded. After which, Xin Yu only felt Qin Wentian holding her hand. Her palm trembled slightly, there was an interspatial ring in it, given to her by Qin Wentian.

"The treasures inside is sufficient for you to redeem your freedom. I have no need for you to serve me as a maid. If you are willing to, just find an opportunity and leave the lodge." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Xin Yu inclined her head, her beautiful eyes staring at Qin Wentian.

"Don’t reject it." Qin Wentian laughed, continuing to transmit his voice.

Xin Yu nodded lightly, and didn’t say any words of thanks.

From afar, when the devilish princess saw their seemingly affectionate manner, she couldn’t help but to curse in her heart, "Look at the current situation, he even still has the mood to flirt around? This bastard!"

However, Yan Yuruo’s heart felt the sour feeling of jealousy. She hoped that she could be the one beside him, accompanying him. Today, the impact on him must be pretty great and the future was uncertain for him.

Next, there would naturally be some other program arranged at the banquet. However, Qin Wentian clearly wasn’t welcomed. He closed his eyes in meditation. Huang Shatian who was beside him, closed his eyes in meditation as well.

Until the banquet ended, only then did Huang Shatian stand up and go over to where the devil emperor was. Clearly, he was prepared to tell the devil emperor who he wanted to look for. Old Chai and Xia Yuan followed after as well, while the other devil experts rose from their seats.

Many devil kings of major powers started to issue invitations to some of the more outstanding geniuses. However, despite Qin Wentian, Duan Qianshan and some others being extremely outstanding, nobody sought to invite them. For someone who didn’t give face to the devil emperor, who would dare to issue an invite?

So what even if their talents were outstanding? This place was the Fallen Devil Island, a place governed by the Fallen Devil Emperor.

The devil kings all knew that it was very tough for this Fallen Devil Island to contain Qin Wentian and his group. They could only die.

"Qin Wentian, instantly leave the Fallen Devil Island." The Blackstone Devil King transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s performance was too outstanding. By right, since he was part of the top ten and gained the attention of the devil emperor, nobody would dare to touch him. However, he rejected the reward given.

This wasn’t as simple as rejecting a gift, it was more like he was courting his own death.

Qin Wentian frowned, seems like the situation was much more serious than what he expected.

"Xin Yu, could you help me accomplish that with your quickest speed?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Xin Yu.

"I will ask the residence lord for help." Xin Yu spoke.

"Would she help you?" Qin Wentian furrowed his brows.

"She isn’t as simple as you imagine, she is someone extraordinary." Xin Yu replied. Qin Wentian naturally understood that for someone who could establish a power like the Celestial Devil Lodge, she definitely wouldn’t be simple.

"Alright then." Qin Wentian nodded.

Xin Yu left his side, walking towards the direction of Mo Ji. But at this moment, a woman appeared beside Qin Wentian, staring at him with ire.

"Who made our third princess angry?" Qin Wentian smiled as he asked.

The anger on the devilish female’s face instantly vanished. A radiant smile appeared, she walked to the side of Qin Wentian and gently asked, "Could it be that you don’t find I’m as pretty as that demoness?"

The people in the surroundings all stared at Qin Wentian. This fellow truly had luck with women.

Qin Wentian had a face full of black lines. This devilish female!

"Third princess don’t joke with me. The devil king has transmitted a voice message to me, telling me to leave instantly now. It’s impossible for me to return to the Blackstone Devil Island. In the future, princess you have to take care. If you are kind enough, help me to take care of that lass Juyu." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Yan Yuruo. Yan Yuruo’s beautiful eyes flashed, staring at Qin Wentian.

He was going to leave?

"What if I want to leave together with you?" The third princess asked.

"Third princess, are you not afraid the devil king would kill me?" Qin Wentian speechlessly replied. "Let alone, I’m already married.. Princess, you will definitely have a good husband in the future."
