Weaving Clothes for You
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
The next morning, the two got up like any other couple and straightened each other's clothes. As they looked at each other, a feeling different from before arose in their hearts. The subtle barriers and thoughts and calculations based on different positions seemed to have been shattered overnight.
Looking into Cheng Cheng's tender yet slightly reproachful eyes, Qin Yi suddenly wondered if his restraint in the past few days had been a mistake.
As Zhang Ailing once said, the shortcut to a woman's heart is that kind of path, and there's definitely some truth to that.
Before even asking the question, just wandering through the mortal world, the relationship between the two has already undergone a very subtle change. What would have happened if she had directly attacked when she used some kind of Demon Fox Blood to seduce him a few days ago?
After thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be entirely true. Times change, and the results of actions taken at different times are not always the same. If Cheng Cheng had actually gone into battle back then, and felt that she had repaid her debt and settled everything, it's hard to say what she would have thought afterward.
Or if I had only focused on conquering human beings later on, I could probably have easily attained enlightenment, but the result would certainly have been different.
This is a far-reaching option, and it seems that my choice was the right one so far.
"Your eyes are darting around, what kind of mischief are you plotting?" Cheng Cheng said reproachfully.
Qin Yi naturally put his arm around her, with a slightly coquettish look in his eyes. "I want you to knit me a garment."
Cheng Cheng's eyes became increasingly gentle.
Actually, how long Qin Yi wears this blue robe isn't the problem. Cultivators often wear suitable robes for their entire lives without changing them. The problem is that the protective power of this blue robe can no longer keep up with Qin Yi's cultivation or the battles he faces.
With opponents now frequently being powerful like Tengyun Huiyang, the defensive capabilities that Feng Chu initially thought were adequate have long since become virtually nonexistent.
After numerous battles, if it weren't for the self-repairing effect of the robe, it would have been too tattered to wear long ago.
Qin Yi was clearly very wealthy, and the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace couldn't possibly not have enough robes for him to change into, yet he never intended to change one.
They met in mid-air when the Southern Li Kingdom was destroyed. Cheng Cheng looked at his blue robe without saying a word, but she was actually overjoyed, which showed that he always had her in his heart.
Moreover, they are extremely nostalgic.
"Go and cultivate yourself. When you come out, you'll have new clothes." Cheng Cheng kissed him again. "I'll knit you one myself, one that suits your current status."
Qin Yi smiled and asked, "What is my status now?"
Cheng Cheng's eyes flickered, and she chuckled softly, "Demon Empress of her generation."
Qin Yi tickled her, Cheng Cheng giggled and curled up into a ball. Then they both rolled over and tangled together, and their clothes, which had just been neatly arranged, became messy again.
After a while of fussing, Cheng Cheng leaned against his chest and sighed softly, "No wonder some people say that from then on the emperor will no longer Morning Court, it really can happen. But Qin Yi, we should get down to business."
Qin Yi nodded and got up.
He could no longer indulge in the Land of tenderness, and Cheng Cheng had no time to indulge in male beauty.
Qin Yi went to cultivate along the earth's veins, intending to push his strength to the fifth level of Bone Forging and Cloud Ascension in a short period of time. Cheng Cheng's Cheng Cheng move will naturally not involve marginalizing him or waiting until she needs him to ask for his help; instead, they will all set off together.
There will inevitably be many tough battles ahead, not as simple as the previous small dungeon. Improving our strength is the top priority.
Cheng Cheng wanted to make arrangements for the bloodline Secret Method she had obtained yesterday, and try to see if she could obtain a legion with a special bloodline in a short period of time to improve the overall strength.
This Secret Method can be used by oneself or on others. The greatest chance after casting the spell is that nothing will happen; a very small chance is that a trace of Ancient Bloodline will awaken; and an extremely slim chance is death. Those who die are mainly those whose cultivation foundation is too weak; generally, there won't be any problems. Cheng Cheng carefully selected the elite, giving the first batch of spots to Ying Li as a sign of trust.
Ying Li was somewhat flattered. He knew that his opinion differed from the King's on the matter of Qin Yi, yet the King still trusted him so much...
"Because Qin Yi said that Ying Li is not bad." Cheng Cheng sat on the throne and said lazily, "You are wary of him, but he doesn't care at all. On the contrary, he understands your starting point... You should learn from his demeanor. Compared with him, you are all like vulgar women from the market, unbearably common."
Ying Li remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes."
"Your so-called starting point is nothing but an imposed barrier," Cheng Cheng said. "In ancient times, there were only living beings, only the strong and the weak. There was no distinction between humans and demons. It is the same now. You don't know as much as Qin Yi, so just listen to him. Qin Yi is someone you don't know. Don't try to understand him with your own thinking."
Ying Li could only continue, "Yes."
"You're always worried about changes in the power structure... I just want to say that in Qin Yi's eyes, the word 'power' is less important than my undergarment," Cheng Cheng said lazily. "He has absolutely no desire for the Demon City."
"He asks for nothing..." Other high-ranking officials couldn't help but ask, "Then what does he want?"
Cheng Cheng pointed to herself. "Me."
The demons. "..."
"This is a matter between my man and me, and I don't want you to interfere anymore." Cheng Cheng's eyes gradually sharpened. "What business This King whatsoever with my private affairs?"
The aura of the Great Demon King suddenly surged, and a whirlwind of demonic energy swept through the hall, creating a suffocating atmosphere. The demons, trembling with fear, all bowed their heads and said, "Yes."
Cheng Cheng suppressed her Yao Qi and said calmly, "This King I tested the Secret Method on Hawk Commander's subordinates. What were the results today?"
"Yesterday, His Majesty cast a spell on those one hundred transformed Azure Hawk. Today, it was discovered that one of them awakened the Shu Si Bloodline, and another awakened the Sheng Yu Bloodline, both extremely weak and insignificant. Shengyu is alright; its water-based demonic magic has improved considerably. As for Shusi, it's only useful for treating epilepsy with its flesh..."
"Pfft..." Someone in the hall chuckled, but quickly realized that there was nothing funny about it, but rather something to be excited about.
Because there is indeed a possibility of improvement.
Can ordinary demonic magic and demonic magic with the Sheng Yu Bloodline be the same, even though they are both water-based demonic arts?
Are the fires released by ordinary monsters the same as the Teng Snake Heavenly Fire?
Even a slight improvement in a trait, when accumulated in large numbers, can trigger a qualitative leap in the strength of the entire city. Two out of a hundred have awakened—that's a fairly good ratio!
The Demon City has over a million inhabitants, and new demons are constantly being born. At this rate, it wouldn't be a problem to create a special forces army.
Cheng Cheng asked calmly, "Were there any deaths?"
"Because those selected are all solid elites, there have been no deaths," Ying Li said, bowing. "However, it is indeed noticeable that those whose cultivation is not solid enough may explode. This method must be used with caution."
"Of course," Cheng Cheng said lazily. "Trash can only be eaten, and the strong should be above all demons. Good Secret Method are not something everyone is qualified to enjoy."
All the demons took it for granted and bowed, saying, "Yes."
Cheng Cheng suddenly said, "Let Hawk Commander handle this matter. I'll pass on the Secret Method to you later."
Ying Li was truly flattered this time. This kind of spellcasting should be Secret Method mastered by the king, and casting spells on any monster would be a kind of favor. She actually gave him this power. Such trust was truly beyond words.
He couldn't help but reflect on himself, wondering if he had been too harsh and wary of Qin Yi from beginning to end. As the king said, he was outshone by Qin Yi in terms of demeanor alone, and was unworthy of being a commander.
Ying Li, which naturally aroused jealousy among other demons. One of the high-ranking officials couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty doesn't have any important matters to attend to these days. Why entrust such important power to Hawk Commander?"
Cheng Cheng's eyes flickered. "Who said I don't have important matters to attend to?"
"Um... I wonder if there's anything I can do to help?"
"Yes. Go find me the finest Azure Cloud Brocade. Also, each of you should hand over some of your own belly hair... and those whose blood has special uses, each of you should hand over a cup."
The monsters' eyes widened. "What's this for?"
Cheng Cheng said matter-of-factly, "I want to weave clothes. Demon City has nothing else, but isn't this material a local specialty?"
The demons were dumbfounded.
