The Struggle for the Demon Court

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Inside the room, Qin Yi was also quite amazed as he asked Cheng Cheng, "How do you know how to make such suggestive drawings? Like this dead sheep..."

Cheng Cheng chuckled, "Since I wanted to learn about human culture, I naturally collected a lot of human stories, including these anecdotes. Originally, there were supposed to be two pigeons on it..."

"Oh yeah, where are the pigeons?"

"Since it's a pigeon, of course it's a pigeon." Cheng Cheng's eyes sparkled. "Do you also want me to call you 'brother'?"

"Ah, no, no..."

"Brother~" Cheng Cheng called out sweetly.

Qin Yi got goosebumps all over.

Cheng Cheng snorted, "It's just calling someone 'brother,' anyone can do that? Look at that stinky snake's sullen face..."

"I never asked you to call me 'brother'!" Qin Yi said, both amused and exasperated. "Ye Ling is your disciple, your hostility is really something..."

"Hehe..." Cheng Cheng didn't argue. Why talk about master and disciple in this kind of thing? Everyone's causing trouble, who cares about master and disciple? I'll give her a good beating another day before I talk about anything else.

Outside, Ye Ling was squatting in the garden, hugging her knees, playing with ants with Liusu. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine, a very ominous premonition...

Inside the room Cheng Cheng gritted her teeth inwardly, but didn't say it aloud. She simply said in a seductive voice, "You threw her out, wasn't it to relieve my itch?"

Qin Yi pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Didn't I say I'd wait for you to soar through the clouds?"

Cheng Cheng whispered, "It doesn't have to be that, there's poetry, isn't there..."

Qin Yi understood immediately and took action.

After the bath, my beloved caressed me, gently stroking and teasing, the pleasure of which was beyond description.

Cheng Cheng's beautiful eyes were glazed over as she bit her lower lip and gasped, "You understand even with the slightest hint... Do you Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect) spend all your time studying these things?"

The Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect doesn't study these things, but they've basically read all sorts of shady books. My Senior Sister has a room full of erotic books; her lewd knowledge is definitely no less than Cheng Cheng's, just not as uninhibited as that Cheng Cheng. It just goes to show how profound and extensive human culture is; the ancients' level of sexual prowess had already reached a very high level...

In modern times, things may have even regressed somewhat, after all, mythical beasts roam freely, and most people are still young, so there's basically nothing left to describe...

It's truly a pity.

However, Qin Yi discovered something very important.

He usually can't beat Cheng Cheng and is always the one being dominated, so he has no authority as a husband. This Human Form Cheng Cheng is so easy to bully...

Isn't it a bit spineless to bully her?

No way, it's clearly the same person!

The Golden Hall at this time.

Cheng Cheng sat majestically on the Dragon Throne, listening to the demons arguing below, her face expressionless, but in reality, her body was subtly tense.

The conversation inside the hall drifted over in fragments. "Birds are birds, and beasts are beasts. Hawk Commander should be responsible for the Vermilion Bird; it's best not to interfere in other matters. The Divine Beast Bloodline is a matter of reproduction, which falls under internal affairs, not entirely within the realm of combat. There's no reason for him to have an overarching role."

"The Divine Beast Bloodline is inherently most advantageous for combat; if it doesn't belong to war, where else should it belong?"

"If Hawk Commander can use the excuse of increasing his strength to interfere in any matter, is he a commander or a king?"

"You!" Ying Li angrily bowed to Cheng Cheng, "Please let Your Majesty decide."

Cheng Cheng crossed her legs discreetly and said calmly, "Regarding the breeding of young beasts, the Prime Minister should establish a set of regulations, assign specific personnel to each task, and there can be no carelessness. The remaining bloodline awakeners will be selected by the Hawk Commander and organized into elite battalions."

Both sides stopped arguing and said in unison, "Yes."

Are there any issues with the resources needed for raising the young animals?

"Most of the resources can be self-sufficient, but there may be some special items, such as the Little Vermilion Bird wanting to eat Blazing Flame Stone. The Rift Valley's production is extremely limited, so we'll probably have to find another way."

"Let's trade with the Thousand Mountains Alliance in the south," Cheng Cheng said. "Those chaotic people in the south aren't as firmly committed to the distinction between humans and demons. Just be careful about other aspects when dealing with them."

"Yes... we've dealt with each other before, so I know a little about the tricks of the trade."

"That's fine then." Cheng Cheng paused, then added, "Also, send spies to be stationed there permanently to keep an eye on the situation of the Profound Yin Sect."

"Yes." A Bei Demon hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Cheng blushed slightly. "N-no."

"His Majesty's voice seems a little weak, trembling, and his cheeks appear unnaturally flushed..."

"Mind your own business!" Cheng Cheng roared, her voice suddenly becoming full of energy. "What are you trying to do by observing so carefully?"

"No, no..." The Bei Demon wiped away its cold sweat. "Your Majesty should rest well and not indulge in male beauty..."

The demons kept their eyes fixed on their noses and their noses on their hearts, never glancing to the side.

Cheng Cheng narrowed her eyes, looked at the loyal-looking Bei Demon, and said calmly, "What else do you want to say? Say it all at once."

The Bei Demon hesitated for a moment, then gritted its teeth and said, "Last month, Your Majesty closed the Flesh Market. What was the reason?"

Cheng Cheng sneered, "Do This King need to explain my actions to you?"

"Your Majesty..." the Bei Demon sighed, "Your Majesty yourself has a human body, yet you haven't completely forbidden cannibalism. Now, because you favor the Queen, you've even..."

Cheng Cheng interrupted, "Are you happy that your place has been turned into a pigsty by some people? Why do the same thing?"

"I'm not happy, but that's precisely why I want revenge."

"Being bullied by the Heavenly Being, they retaliate against mortals?" Humble Origins stepped forward, furious, and retorted, "Ask those scoundrels in heaven if they consider mortals their own kind! On the contrary, Qin Yi, who has been kind to us, always considers mortals his own kind. This means they haven't gotten revenge on their enemies, but instead have taken revenge on their benefactors—are we all idiots in our Demon City?"

Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.

This fat rat, who usually pretends to be stupid and low-key, couldn't help himself in this kind of situation. It seems he's quite close to humans.

It's enough that someone is willing to charge into battle; there's no need for the king to personally get involved.

"But for us, they're pretty much the same..."

"Those of the same kind are the same kind, and those different are different. How can you say they're almost the same?" the Humble Origins said. "How many people mistake you for wolves? Are you also of the same kind?"

The Bei Demon calmly replied, "We're close relatives."

Humble Origins sneered, "A product of inbreeding, no wonder he's so stupid. Do you really think the Demon City no longer needs Qin Yi and can just discard him after using him?"

The Bei Demon said, "At this point, perhaps it really is unnecessary."

The Humble Origins scoffed, "Ignorant. Ask the truly knowledgeable Hawk Commander what he thinks."

Ying Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "Human flesh Non-Self absolutely need. Qin Yi has done a great favor for the Demon City, so not eating people is also a way of giving Qin Yi face, and it is only right."

Ying Li, but this time it carried a different weight. This time, not only the Bei Demon, but many other demons stepped forward. "Your Majesty, if this is truly the case, what will we carnivorous demons eat... will we resort to cannibalism?"

Cheng Cheng finally frowned.

She knew that cannibalism was far more extreme than that. Humans in the Demon City were a minority to begin with, so how could they possibly become the main food source? They would have been wiped out long ago. The main meat in the Demon City came from domesticated animals that hadn't yet become Demonization and lacked intelligence; it wasn't a case of Demon Race killing each other.

Human flesh is just one type of meat, but as the only edible intelligent being, it commands a particularly high price and is the most sought-after meat by demons. Qin Yi experienced this firsthand on his first visit to the Demon City; he could even exchange his own flesh for medicine...

Back then, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and being in the Demon City was incredibly oppressive. I didn't speak then because I was truly powerless to change the situation. But things are different now...

Cheng Cheng pushed for this because Qin Yi had mentioned it to her a few days ago. It was only right that she, now that she had a voice in the Demon City, should at least protect her fellow demons from being eaten, right?

How else could I stand it? Where did I get the nerve to be here picking up girls, farming equipment, leveling up, and training?

Cheng Cheng quickly agreed. As a fruit-eating type herself, Cheng Cheng hardly ate meat, let alone humans. Furthermore, given her half-human blood, her views on humans differed from those of other demons. Many years ago, she had been gradually raising the status of humans in the Demon City.

This is also the most fundamental premise for her to be able to get together with Qin Yi, and Qin Yi's good feelings towards her from the very beginning stemmed from this.

Originally, it was thought that Qin Yi had helped the Demon City so much this time and was highly respected by Ying Li and others, so there would not be much resistance to promoting this matter. However, it turned out to be so troublesome.
