Chapter 253 - Your Brother-in-law, He's the Best at This~!

H-He really is the genuine Demon Lord…!

The origin of the name 'Ye Mochen' was initially just the Demon Lord's self-proclaimed title.

Later, wherever the Demon Lord went, the great demon army that followed was enough to blot out the sun, plunging heaven and earth into an endless night, as if the eternal night of the Demon Realm itself had descended!

Afterwards, it gradually evolved into the most representative and terrifying honorific title for the Demon Lord!

Besides the Demon Lord himself, who else would dare to call themselves by the name of Ye Mochen!

At this moment, Ning Yechen stood before Luo Tianshan and the others. He wasn't exerting any pressure, yet he made them feel suffocated and terrified.

With the Demon Lord's strength, erasing the few of them was a matter of a mere wave of his hand.

"So you are my wife's great uncle, the current Head of the Luo Shen Palace?"

Ning Yechen greeted Luo Tianshan cordially.

"Y-Yes, it is…" Luo Tianshan replied, trembling.

For some reason, seeing the kind and cordial smile on Ning Yechen’s face, he on the contrary became even more afraid…

In his impression, the Demon Lord was not such a cordial and gentle person…

"I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"If one wanted to change the Head of the Luo Shen Palace, besides a unanimous decision by the Council of Elders to remove the Clan Head, are there any other methods?" Ning Yechen asked with a smile.

Luo Tianshan didn't know why Ning Yechen was suddenly asking this, but he still answered honestly:

"B-Besides a unanimous agreement by the Council of Elders to revoke the Clan Head's position, there is also the option for the current Clan Head to proactively announce their abdication…"

"Hmm… are there any other methods?"

Hearing this, Ning Yechen thought for a moment as if lost in thought, and continued to ask.

He wasn't very satisfied with either of these two methods…

Luo Tianshan pondered for a moment and continued to answer:

"Besides these two methods, there is only one last scenario."

"If the current Clan Head were to unfortunately have an accidental immortal demise, the position of Clan Head would be temporarily assumed by the clan's Great Elder…"

"And what if the clan's Great Elder also unfortunately had an 'accidental' death?"

Hearing this method, Ning Yechen’s eyes lit up, and he pressed the question.

An ominous premonition inexplicably rose in Luo Tianshan’s heart.

"If the clan's Great Elder were to also unfortunately die, then the clan's Second Elder would temporarily assume the position of Clan Head…"

"Oh~ Then what if all the clan's elders had an 'accidental' death?"

Ning Yechen asked with a beaming smile, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Luo Tianshan and the others: "…"

Luo Tianshan and the others swallowed their saliva and replied, trembling with fear:

"I-If that were to really happen, then a new Clan Head would be chosen by a unanimous decision of everyone in the clan…"

"So that's how it is!"

"This method is good!”

“I like this method!”

“Compared to the previous two methods, this one seems a little simpler~”

Hearing Luo Tianshan’s answer, Ning Yechen gazed at him and the other elders, a meaningful and creepy smile appearing on his handsome face.

At this moment, Luo Tianshan and the others felt as if they had just been sentenced to death on the spot…

How could they not understand the meaning behind Ning Yechen’s words.

The Demon Lord wanted Luo Tianshan to get off the throne of the Luo Shen Palace…!

Luo Tianshan and the others wanted to cry but had no tears, feeling only a chill throughout their bodies…

In truth, if the Demon Lord had just asked, how would he have dared not to proactively give up the position of Clan Head…

Or if he had asked the other elders, they would have also been very happy to unanimously agree to remove Luo Tianshan from the position of Clan Head…

But in the end, in the Demon Lord's eyes, was it easier to just act directly rather than trying to persuade them…

"De-Demon Lord…"

"Um… actually, I and the other elders have unanimously agreed that it is most suitable for the Luo Shen Palace to continue to have Tianya serve as the Clan Head…!"

"Coincidentally, my body has suddenly become unwell today, making it truly difficult for me to be the Head of the Luo Shen Palace…"

"This position of Luo Shen Palace's Head should be returned to Tianya…!"

Luo Tianshan held up the jade tablet with both hands and bowed a full ninety degrees, prostrating himself before Ning Yechen to show his sincerity.

Before the Demon Lord acted personally, it was better for him to obediently and proactively hand over the position of Clan Head. Perhaps then he would still have a sliver of a chance to live.

It was just that the Clan Head's jade tablet he had just obtained hadn't even warmed his hands yet, and in a flash, he had to obediently hand it over again. Luo Tianshan felt a bitterness in his heart that he couldn't express.

After scheming and winning people over for several hundred years, in the end, he had obtained the position of Clan Head but hadn't even had a chance to sit on the throne before he had to hand it over again…

In all his schemes and calculations, he had never calculated that the Demon Lord would return with the identity of the Luo Shen Palace's son-in-law…

However, compared to the huge disappointment in his heart, what he was more worried about now was whether he could even keep his life.

Even if he proactively and obediently handed over the Clan Head's jade tablet, he had, after all, offended the Demon Lord…

The group of clan elders behind Luo Tianshan also bowed fearfully and chimed in:

"Yes, yes, yes, in our hearts, we all actually support Tianya as the Clan Head…!"

"Tianya’s contributions to the Luo Shen Palace as Clan Head are plain for all to see!"

"The position of Head of the Luo Shen Palace can belong to no one but Tianya!"

"Is that so?"

"Do you elders really think so?"

"You absolutely must not force yourselves."

"Acting like this will make it seem as if I am coercing you."

"I, as a person, actually don't like to coerce others at all!" Ning Yechen said with a faint smile, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Luo Tianshan and the others: "…"

"Not at all, not at all."

"Not forced in the slightest~"

"We are being completely sincere, with not a shred of falsehood!"

Luo Tianshan and the others said, wringing their hands with embarrassed smiles.

He then hurriedly called over the disciples at the side and scolded them sternly:

"What are you all still standing there dazed for!"

"Don't you know that our Luo Shen Palace's Eldest Miss and Lord Son-in-law have returned?!"

"Quick, quick…! Hurry up and form a line to welcome them!"

Huh?

The group of disciples had looks of confusion and bewilderment.

This change in attitude was a bit too fast, too seamless.

As expected of the experienced elders!

Remembering Ning Yechen’s terrifying aura from just now, the disciples didn't dare to be slow, and they hurriedly formed lines on both sides in a welcoming procession…

"Very good~"

"Father-in-law, I have already talked it over for you."

"It was all just a misunderstanding~"

"Please take back your things~"

Ning Yechen smiled with satisfaction, took the Clan Head's jade tablet from Luo Tianshan’s hand, and turned to toss it into Luo Tianya’s hands.

Luo Tianya looked down at the Clan Head's jade tablet in his hands, finding it hard to believe for a moment, his feelings complex.

The Clan Head's jade tablet that he had just handed over had returned to his hands in the blink of an eye…

And the one who had gotten it back for him was his son-in-law, the Demon Lord…

Luo Ruxin, standing at the foot of the jade steps, her pretty face was written with even more confusion and shock.

Lord Son-in-law?

That bunch of old fellows with Luo Tianshan, on normal days, relying on their status as clan elders, were so high and mighty, so condescending.

Yet now they were being so humble and submissive, so polite to Brother-in-law…?

She hadn't seen Brother-in-law do anything to them…

Just what had her brother-in-law said to them to make this bunch of old fellows so polite…

The atmosphere, which had been so tense, changed in an instant…

So magical…

"Big Sister, what did Brother-in-law say to them?"

Luo Ruxin asked Luo Ruying beside her, truly curious.

Luo Ruying smiled faintly and said mysteriously:

"Of course he 'reasoned' with the elders~"

"Your brother-in-law, he's the best at this~"

After speaking, Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, walked towards Ning Yechen, who was waiting for them up above.

Leaving only Luo Ruxin, her face full of confusion.

Since when were Luo Tianshan and that bunch of old fellows so reasonable…

And with her mortal brother-in-law, at that…
