Holy Son, Run! The Demon Empress Wants You as Her Consort! - Chapter 30:

Chapter 30: Rich Empress Wife, I Want to Give You an Immortal Weapon

Lin Ze looked up and was instantly stunned by the sight before him.

If this were an anime, now would be the perfect moment for golden light to radiate and fade away slowly.

Otherwise, there was no way to express how shocked he was by You Yiran’s appearance!

But Lin Ze felt that even with that glowing effect, it still wouldn’t do her justice.

Because she was simply too beautiful!

So beautiful it felt unreal—like a hazy, radiant moon. No matter how extravagant the words, they couldn’t capture her beauty.

“Why aren’t you answering me?”

You Yiran’s cool voice rang softly by his ear, snapping Lin Ze out of his trance. He unconsciously nodded.

“Beautiful… I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as you, wife!”

Her face remained cold, but there was unmistakable pride in her tone—like a little girl showing off, “Hmph~ Of course.”

Sensing her good mood, Lin Ze cleared his throat and asked, “Ahem… So, when are we heading back to Azure Spirit Holy Land?”

You Yiran gave him a side glance. “Whenever you want.”

“How about tomorrow?”

“Sure, but come with me somewhere first.”

“Where are we going, wife?”

“Just follow me.” You Yiran shook her head, giving no explanation.

Hearing this, Lin Ze could only follow her with curiosity.

The two walked toward the sect’s treasury.

On the way, many elders and disciples were still inspecting and sweeping for threats. When they saw You Yiran with her face fully restored, expressions of shock immediately appeared—waves of emotion rippling through their hearts.

“Her Majesty’s face… it’s fully healed!”

“My heavens! She’s even more beautiful than before!”

“Your Majesty!” Ji Mingyun shouted excitedly, his eyes tearing up.

“Yiran, this is wonderful!” Shangguan Yi rushed over emotionally and tightly embraced her, gently caressing her cheeks.

“Mhm. It’s all thanks to Lin Ze.”

Hearing her words, all the elders and disciples turned to Lin Ze with burning admiration and gratitude in their eyes.

“Our Netherveil Palace having this prince consort is truly a once-in-a-century blessing!” Ji Mingyun shouted.

“That’s right! From now on, the prince consort is my idol!”

“Lin Ze, I’m so glad you’re with us,” Shangguan Yi looked at him, her face filled with relief.

Surrounded by admiration, Lin Ze felt a little proud.

Hehe!

Let me puff out my chest a bit.

I’m awesome!

“Don’t just stand there grinning. Follow me,” You Yiran’s voice came from beside him.

Lin Ze snapped out of it and quickly followed.

Only after the two entered the treasure vault did the awe in the elders’ and disciples’ eyes slowly fade.

Inside the Netherveil Treasury.

“Elder Ji, where are the three immortal artifacts?”

“Your Majesty, they’re in the innermost chamber. I inspect them every day—they’re secure,” Ji Mingyun replied respectfully.

“Good. Disable the protective array. I need to go in.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

You Yiran nodded and led Lin Ze to the deepest part of the treasury.

This was where Netherveil Palace kept all the priceless treasures accumulated over the generations—most people weren’t even allowed to step foot inside.

“Wife, why did you bring me here?”

Lin Ze looked around at the weapons—swords, sabers, axes, hammers, shields—all of high quality, puzzled at her intent.

You Yiran didn’t answer. She continued walking until they reached the innermost chamber.

There, atop three pedestals, a golden light shimmered.

Those were… immortal weapons!

Higher than Earth, Profound, and Heaven-grade treasures—true immortal artifacts!!

You Yiran’s gaze fell on the three items. Only then did she speak, “I want to give you an immortal weapon.”

“Pick one yourself.”

Hiss…!

Lin Ze sucked in a sharp breath.

Pick an immortal weapon?

Immortal artifacts were top-tier treasures, priceless and beyond reach for most people.

Even as the Holy Son of Azure Spirit Holy Land, he’d never had one of his own.

But now… he could choose one freely?

Holy crap, this surprise was too sudden!

Outside the vault, Ji Mingyun had also heard what You Yiran said. His heart was burning with envy.

Many people spend their entire lives unable to afford even a speck of dust from an immortal weapon. Yet Lin Ze got to pick one directly.

Even Ji Mingyun’s weapon was just a Heaven-grade treasure—and it had cost him nearly all his life savings.

Truly, comparison kills.

“Go on, pick one.”

You Yiran watched Lin Ze’s reaction, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile.

Her expression clearly said, Now you know how good it is to be with me, huh?

Lin Ze stepped closer and examined the three immortal artifacts.

The first one was a defensive turtle shell, glowing with dark light. It was incredibly tough and could block any attack under 6th stage Martial Emperor.

Black Tortoise Immortal Armor—low-grade immortal artifact!

The second was a crimson bead, shimmering with a seductive light, radiating an enchanting energy that seemed to pull at one’s soul.

Soul Capturing Demon Pearl—low-grade immortal artifact!

The third was a sword embedded in stone. A black, heavy sword of mysterious iron stuck in a slab of black rock—strange and unique.

Rust marked the sword’s blade, and it radiated an ancient aura.

Curious, Lin Ze asked, “Wife, what’s this sword? I don’t recognize it.”

You Yiran blinked. “That’s an antique. It existed even before I was born.”

“It was once the sword of the Sword Demon. It has no set grade—its strength depends entirely on its wielder.”

“The stronger the user, the stronger the sword. No limits, no boundaries!”

Hearing that, Lin Ze’s heart surged with excitement. This—this was a real treasure! Far better than the other two!

“Wife, I want this one!”

“Hm? Are you sure?”

A flicker of surprise crossed You Yiran’s eyes.

“Why? Is something wrong with it?”

Already standing before the stone sword, Lin Ze sensed her hesitation and asked curiously.

“It’s just… this sword is strange. No one’s ever been able to pull it out. Try it for yourself.”

Now even more curious, Lin Ze grabbed the hilt with both hands and pulled.

But it didn’t budge. Not even a little.

It was like the sword and the stone were fused—completely immovable.

Even after using all his strength, not the tiniest crack appeared.

“I told you—it’s weird. Maybe pick one of the others,” You Yiran said, seeing how red his face had gotten.

[Ding! Detected sealed treasure. Host may redeem Unsealing Card to unlock.]

Just as Lin Ze was about to give up, a system prompt rang out in his mind.

His eyes lit up—he hadn’t expected the system to respond.

But… the Unsealing Card cost 10,000 points.

“Still… if this was the Sword Demon’s weapon, it’s probably worth it. There might be a surprise.”

Lin Ze stared at the stone sword with burning curiosity and immediately thought, [Redeem Unsealing Card. Unlock now!]
