Legend of the Perfect Emperor Chapter 9: 100 Years

The once fierce wind that surrounded the waitress quickly died down, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"What's this? Weren't you in the mood to kill a few people just a moment ago?" Caiyi sneered at the waitress with disdain in her eyes.

The waitress gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to speak.

In the world of cultivation, the strong ruled the weak. It did not matter who was younger or older, male or female, handsome or ugly; as long as one has the power, everybody beneath that person will bow their head in obedience.

"Boring, how boring." Caiyi shook her head with disappointment. "Since you were prepared to kill us for the coin, then you should've been prepared to die in the progress…"

Caiyi lifted her fair hands and pointed at the waitress, a blue glow appearing on her fingertips.

Knowing that her death was only a few moments away, the waitress closed her eyes and silently waited— she has accepted her death. Although she'd only be lying to herself if she says that she didn't regret her actions, there was nothing she could do expect accepting the fact that she had made the wrong decision today, costing her own life as the result.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Many moments had passed, yet the waitress was still conscious. The longer time passed, the more nervous and scared she felt. Her leg was trembling, her hands were grasped into a fist trying to resist the fear, but alas, death was something even ancient cultivators feared.

"What are you doing, Shuyi?" Caiyi's calm yet puzzled voice entered the waitress's ears, and she opened her eyes to see the situation out of uncontrollable curiosity.

There, standing beside Caiyi was Tian Yi, his hands clasped around her glowing hand.

"Sister Caiyi, although she had wronged, her actions does not mandate death." Tian Yi said, his voice calm and low. "Such extreme violence is unnecessary."

"Are you crazy?" Caiyi looked at him with a narrowed gaze. "She had planned on killing all of us just now!"

Tian Yi nodded. "You are right, but she did not actually commit any crimes, so there is no need to be so extreme."

"Are you just going to let her go like that?! That naive thinking will get you killed one day, and it might be sooner than you think!" Caiyi was starting to get annoyed at his ignorance— there was a limit even for her.

Tian Yi shook his head. "I never said that there would be no punishment, only that death is unnecessary in this case."

He turned to look at the dumbfounded waitress, his gaze neither merciful or vengeful. "Your decisions were decided by nobody but yourself, so you only have yourself to blame for this…"

Caiyi and the clueless waitress watched with wide eyes as a gentle wind surround Tian Yi, causing his robes to flutter gently.

"You were a cultivator, too?!" Caiyi cried out with shock. She has been with him for nearly half a day, yet the fact that he was a cultivator had evaded her like a shadowless ghost! To be able to fool even her, just what kind of cultivation technique did he use to hide his cultivation?!

'Just at the Mortal Spirit stage? He'd only started cultivation?' Upon sensing the Spirit Qi around him, Caiyi was able to see through his cultivation easily. However, that had puzzled her even more so than before.

How was it possible for someone at the Mortal Spirit stage, a literal baby in the cultivation world, to hide his cultivation from her, a cultivator at the Ancient Immortal stage? Even if his cultivation technique was flawless and heaven-defying there was a limit to how much he could utilize it with his weak cultivation. To hide it from someone six whole realms above him was simply impossible.

"As your punishment for attempting robbery, slaughter, and destruction, I shall seal your cultivation and prevent any cultivation for the next 100 years." Tian Yi's eyes glowed gold, his penetrating gaze suppressed the waitress with fear and absolute dominance.

The waitress who stood there like a stone statue suddenly felt as if her entire body was chained by heavy invisible chains, causing her to fall on the floor powerlessly.

"Your body will take some time to adjust, but it should return to normal soon." Tian Yi explained to her the reason for her weakness. "Do not bother trying to cultivate for the next hundred years; you'll only feel as if your body is a bag filled with holes, never able to hold any Spirit Qi you absorb no matter how long or hard you try."

The waitress trembled violently upon hearing his words and coughed up a mouthful of blood before passing out.

Caiyi stood there with wide eyes, her jaw dropped. "Y-Y-You…" she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Caiyi's voice broke the quiet atmosphere. "Your punishment was even crueler than mine! To not only keep her alive but even sealing her cultivation! You are the devil! She will probably kill herself when she wakes up!" she said with a shocked voice.

"That'd be her decision when she wakes up," he said in a calm tone. In his eyes, although the waitress did not deserve death for her actions, if she wanted to kill herself, he would not intervene.

Caiyi's eyes widened at his words. 'Although he's innocent and kind, there also exists a ruthless devil inside him! What a terrifying young man!' she thought.

Little did Caiyi know that Tian Yi was the son of the Celestial Emperor, a supreme being that was taught not only to be kind and gentle when needed but also fearsome and domineering like a true Emperor that will one day rule the Universe!

Devil or Saint, beast or human, the righteous shall be rewarded and the evil shall be punished! That is how the Celestial Family judges every living being beneath the Nine Heavens!
