"Many people want to ride me." Chenghuang's smile returned, and she said in a seductive voice, "Do you know what happened to them?"

"That wasn't because I wanted to ride the King..." Qin Yi was sweating profusely. "I was just saying it, to tell you not to bully my sister..."

Chenghuang beckoned to Ye Ling: "Little snake, come here."

Ye Ling carefully walked over.

Chenghuang picked up a crystal-clear fruit from the table. "This is Snake Saliva Fruit, the favorite food of snakes, and it is also helpful for cultivation."

Ye Ling grinned, staring intently at the fruit, her mouth practically watering.

"Want some?"

"Think."

"I won't give you any." Chenghuang stuffed the fruit directly into his own mouth.

Ye Ling pouted, almost bursting into tears.

Chenghuang stretched out his hands and rubbed Ye Ling's face, making her into all sorts of funny faces.

"Alright, I bullied her." Chenghuang said in a seductive voice, "How do you want to ride me?"

Qin Yi: "..."

What kind of cheating mirror is this?! How are we supposed to respond now? We've already lost three towers at the start of the game, we're at a huge disadvantage...

That being said, if this is how you bully someone, then I'd like to do it too.

Chenghuang then asked Ying Li, "Hawk Commander This King, what is the punishment according to the law for disrespecting me?"

Ying Li's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "He should be executed."

Ye Ling's eyes widened, and she darted back in a flash, grabbing Qin Yi and running away.

Qin Yi stood still. Why run? Where could he run in someone else's palace? He sighed, "Judging by actions, not intentions, Your Majesty. There's a rumor that riding you grants two thousand years of lifespan. If anyone among Your Majesty's million demons wants to ride you, I'm afraid ninety-nine thousand have. Are you suggesting Your Majesty kill them all?"

"You said it before they even said it."

"I didn't say it, the mirror did."

Chenghuang glared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, filling the room with warmth. "Then consider it half a crime. Send the big head off your neck and cut off the small head to serve me in the This King."

Ye Ling didn't understand. "Brother, what do you mean by 'small head'? If it's not important, then just chop it off. Let Elder Sister Chenghuang calm down first..."

Qin Yi, covered in sweat, exclaimed, "Much more important than that, you foolish child!"

"You refuse to cut off the big head, nor the small head, which puts This King in a difficult position..." Chenghuang said in a flattering voice, "Why don't you suggest a method of punishment yourself?"

This is a demon queen who enjoys making fun of people. But don't mistake her for just joking; behind her cheerful demeanor lies a condescending indifference. One careless reply could mean losing both of your heads.

Qin Yi's mind raced, and suddenly he remembered something. "I have a gift for Your Majesty, as an atonement."

"Oh?" Chenghuang laughed heartily. "What gifts could a mere human at the Phoenix Initial Stage Level 3 possibly have that would catch This King eye?"

Qin Yi took out the White Bone Token he had obtained from the Witcher.

Chenghuang, who had been lying on his side, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes fixed sharply on the dominoes. Ying Li by, suddenly unleashed a terrifying Demon Power that was almost suffocating.

"Where did you get this token?" Ying Li grabbed Qin Yi and asked sharply.

"I found it on the Witcher in the desolate mountains outside the city," Qin Yi said slowly. "I think it should be useful to Your Majesty."

Chenghuang reached out and beckoned, causing Qin Yi to lose his grip on the token, which then flew into Chenghuang's hand.

She weighed the token in her hand, pondered for a long time, and then sighed softly, "Actually, I saw you a few days ago."

Qin Yi and Ye Ling were both stunned.

" Of the Three Kingdoms the Demon City, only my White Kingdom borders this Witcher. Originally, all the demons born in that area should have entered my White Kingdom and become its citizens. Since that Witcher occupied the area and began to urge demons to refine pills, he has actually been competing with my White Kingdom for population. This King have long wanted to kill him." This King Chenghuang slowly said, "But in recent years, I have been stuck at a hurdle and have been unable to break through it. I do not want to act rashly, and Hawk Commander and the others may not be able to deal with the Witcher's various formations and methods, so it has been delayed until now."

Qin Yi blurted out, "So, the one who attacked the Witcher's Sect a few days ago was really the Great King?"

Chenghuang leaned back lazily onto the soft couch. "That Witcher was planning the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice, focusing his energy on the demon-refining array, and using the Blood Flood Dragon to suppress the pool, leaving him vulnerable. He's been enjoying his good days for too long and forgot This King I've always been looking for such an opportunity. I was worried that he could summon ten thousand demons and the Blood Flood Dragon to come back to help, and I was still observing... when I saw him ordering ten thousand demons to chase after you."

Qin Yi: "..."

"So you could say that you unintentionally helped This King out."

Qin Yi could only humbly reply, "I dare not accept such praise."

"His various formations and witchcraft are indeed quite skillful, and his magical Law Artifact are endless, which is very troublesome." Chenghuang's expression was unyielding. "That alone would not be a problem for This King, but I don't know where a powerful being came from who was secretly helping him. At the height of the battle, a peach suddenly flew by, and its soul-capturing power drew a sliver of my mind, causing both of us to be injured. This King there might be a bird lurking behind, I quickly left."

Qin Yi: "!!!"

Ye Ling covered her mouth, her eyes darting around as she looked at Qin Yi, not daring to speak.

Where did that great power come from? That was Qin Yi's home run.

It wasn't helping her at all; it was clearly setting her up for failure... We can't let her know this, or we'll chop off all her heads.

"However, even if This King killed him, I wouldn't bother searching his belongings, because I never thought there would be anything worth searching on him. So it's not that you stole This King was rightfully mine, but rather that you filled in the gaps for This King." Chenghuang looked at the token repeatedly, a cold smile appearing on his face, "I really didn't expect this. Very good, very good."

Seeing this reaction, it seemed this token wasn't the identity token they had previously guessed, but rather held some other secret. Qin Yi, feeling incredibly guilty because of Taozi, didn't press further, simply saying, "As long as it's useful to the King."

Chenghuang stared at the token in a daze for a long time before slowly saying, "This King have never taken on a disciple before. Ye Ling, would you be willing to be my first disciple?"

Ye Ling looked at Qin Yi with a somewhat bewildered expression, and Qin Yi nodded almost imperceptibly.

Chenghuang's cultivation surpassed all the powerful individuals he had ever encountered. Before Liusu remained silent, he had no idea what level she was at. Although her personality was unpredictable, she wasn't the cruel type, and being a woman, she was very suitable to be Ye Ling's master.

Ye Ling obediently bowed and said, "I am willing."

"Even choosing a master requires your brother's opinion?" Chenghuang smiled. "From today onwards, you will reside in the palace. Hawk Commander will find This King a residence to settle Mr. Qin."

Qin Yi initially wanted to say he didn't want a residence, but then he thought that entrusting Ying Li to find a way to break the curse would take time, and he didn't know how many days he would need to stay, so he didn't refuse.

Ye Ling tugged pitifully at Qin Yi's sleeve. "Brother, can't you live in the palace too?"

Qin Yi squatted down in front of her and gently rubbed her cheeks with a heavy heart. "Spending the night in the palace is certainly precious, but keeping your head is even more valuable."

Chenghuang said lazily, "It's not that there's only one way."

Qin Yi turned his head in surprise, only to see her with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes full of allure. "There is another way, isn't it to Chenghuang horse? Our palace is currently without a master, sir, are you interested?"
