My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 622: Chapter 163: Is It That the Saintess Is Unwilling? (Please Subscribe)

The muscular man with horns had considered himself strong, and his power was not weak either.

Among the various Devil Emperors, although he couldn’t rank among the elite, he was certainly in the middle tier.

Very few Demon Beasts could beat him in terms of physical speed and strength.

However.

When Black Cub had snatched the plate from his hands just now, it was a sudden ambush without giving him a chance to prepare.

But.

The mere instant of contact where the muscular man with horns hadn’t gripped the plate tightly, allowing Black Cub to snatch it directly away, was still telling.

Black Cub, this unimpressive-looking dog thing, was not simple.

The muscular man with horns became somewhat interested in Black Cub and, to put it another way, in Cheng Guang and his companions.

His gaze shifted from the gobbling Black Cub, looking towards Cheng Guang, he smiled and spoke out,

“I find your appearances quite unfamiliar.”

“Are you newly ascended Devil Emperors?” @@novelbin@@

Cheng Guang replied to the muscular man with horns’ question in a noncommittal manner, “More or less.”

Hearing this, the muscular man with horns couldn’t help but exchange looks with other Devil Emperors nearby, the same expression emerging on their faces.

Just as suspected!

If they weren’t newly ascended Devil Emperors.

They surely would have recognized Cheng Guang.

But at this moment.

They didn’t recognize Cheng Guang.

Indeed, they didn’t recognize any one of the people accompanying him.

“I don’t recognize any of these three people, maybe all three are newly ascended Devil Emperors?”

“If these three are all newly ascended Devil Emperors, then we should definitely make a good effort to woo and befriend them.”

The muscular man with horns thought to himself, feeling increasingly fortunate that he had spoken out first and greeted Cheng Guang and his group, leaving some impression on them.

At this time.

If other Devil Emperors wanted to befriend Cheng Guang and his group, the effect wouldn’t match up to his own.

While the muscular man with horns thought this way, the few Devil Emperors standing beside him couldn’t contain their eagerness and began chatting with Cheng Guang and his group sporadically.

On one hand, they were introducing their own tribes and strengths, and on the other, they were probing Cheng Guang’s power and his tribe.

Cheng Guang didn’t have much ill will nor fondness towards these Devil Emperors, but he was certainly vigilant.

His identity had not been exposed yet, so the situation was not bad.

But the moment he was exposed, the atmosphere would change from brotherly kinship to drawing swords against each other.

Cheng Guang dealt with the words of some Devil Emperors in front of him by finding some random pretext to brush them off.

Although the Devil Emperors would frown, wondering what the Bipeds tribe was, they didn’t think too much about it, mostly considering it their own ignorance.

There were countless Demon Beasts in the world.

How could these Devil Emperors possibly remember every single one.

They could only remember some of the major tribes, or more commonly seen species.

The Bipeds, among all the Demon Beast species, were probably pitifully weak, hardly noticeable.

Thinking this.

Many Devil Emperors looked at Cheng Guang with a mixture of respect and pity.

To rise from a minor tribe and ascend to Devil Emperor was no easy feat.

And to emerge as Devil Emperor from a minor tribe.

It was likely that this was the pinnacle of one’s achievements for life.

The limitations of the species.

Wouldn’t allow further progress.

Understanding this.

The Devil Emperors were still quite friendly towards Cheng Guang, but their enthusiasm had waned significantly.

The Devil Emperors’ passionate interest in Gu Wushuang also diminished a lot.

They lumped her in with the others, assuming Gu Wushuang was also a member of the Bipeds race.

The Devil Emperors were not very enthusiastic about Cheng Guang or Gu Wushuang.

Contrastingly, their enthusiasm for Black Cub increased significantly.

They surrounded Black Cub, scrutinizing it closely.

“Your…um… physique is really quite impressive.”

“Ma, if you don’t know how to describe, then don’t bother. You can’t use ‘physique’ for this; you should say ‘body.’

“Such a robust body, the aura feels not yet at Devil Emperor level, but the physical strength is already that of a Devil Emperor.”

“Remarkable, truly remarkable, if in the future you also advance to become a Devil Emperor, I’m afraid we will all look up to you.”

The Devil Emperors made approving noises.

Perhaps it was because they could see that, even if Black Cub’s cultivation level wasn’t at Devil Emperor, just its physical power alone was not inferior to theirs.

Therefore, the Devil Emperors didn’t harbor any crooked thoughts towards Black Cub, nor could they afford such thoughts.

Black Cub was surrounded by Devil Emperors, still gorging itself on food, and halfway through, it felt almost embarrassed.

With a raised gaze,

It saw several Devil Beasts with odd appearances smiling at it.

It was a good thing Black Cub had a somewhat stronger heart.

Otherwise, just being stared at and smiled at by a multitude of Devil Emperors, it probably would have had a heart attack.

Black Cub could barely endure the gazes from the surrounding Devil Emperors; if it were during its prime when its power was at its peak, it naturally wouldn’t care about these Devil Emperors at all and would have sent them flying, leaving them dead or crippled.

The might of the Hell’s Demon Emperor was not to be underestimated.

But for now,

Its power was rather lacking.

Its gaze turned helplessly towards Cheng Guang and Gu Wushuang, hoping they would shoo away these annoying, meal-disturbing Devil Emperors surrounding it.

But soon,

Black Cub realized.

Cheng Guang and Gu Wushuang couldn’t care less about it, chatting about something on the side, not even sparing it a glance.
