The Demon Emperor's state funeral lasted for seven days. In the Imperial Capital, the entire city Mourning Garb mourning, and the whole country was in mourning. This former supreme Monster Race was buried in the Emperor Burial Valley, where all the Demon Emperor except the First Ancestor Demon Emperor had been buried.

After exchanging instructions with the Black Snake King, Bai Qiuran brought Su Xiangxue to the Imperial Capital of the Monster Race. The two stood on the rooftop of the tallest building in the Imperial Capital, watching as the long procession carried the Demon Emperor's enormous coffin out of the Imperial Capital.

After a long silence, Su Xiangxue slowly said, "You see, this Demon Emperor does have some skill in winning over the hearts of the people. Looking at it this way, most of the Monster Race in the Imperial Capital are genuinely mourning."

"I thought you felt even a little bit saddened by the death of your blood relative."

Bai Qiuran speechless.

"So you were analyzing the Demon Emperor's abilities after all?"

"Am I a witch without blood or tears?"

Su Xiangxue rolled her eyes and continued, "But I'm still very happy that you thought of bringing me here. Thank you."

"Um."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"At least you have a conscience."

"From this perspective, the Demon Emperor is quite capable, but he was born at the wrong time, just happened to meet you; otherwise, he might have already achieved great things..."

Su Xiangxue pinched a lock of hair that fell across her chest and said softly, "A person like that must have left behind a legacy of influence before he died. Look at those royal guards who carried his coffin, and that prime minister who presided over the ceremony for him."

"That's a Cloud Kun."

Wisdom Immortal suddenly said, "The Strange Beasts that survived from ancient times—I never imagined that even a trace of their bloodline still remains in the Demon Realm."

"Cloud Kun?"

Bai Qiuran thought of the Divine Beast he had seen in ancient books before, and asked, "Is it the kind of divine fish that is thousands or even tens of thousands of miles long and can cause huge waves in the Vast Sea when it turns over?"

"That's a Kun, a Divine Beast from the Divine Age."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "However, although this Cloud Kun is not as big or strong as the Kun, it has inherited some of its abilities. At least that prime minister is much stronger than the Demon King you traded with. His cultivation is already at the peak of the Body Integration Stage, and it seems that he is deliberately suppressing his cultivation."

"Do you think... he knows the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor Mausoleum Map that the royal family keeps?"

Bai Qiuran stared at the direction where Cloud Kun Chancellor had disappeared for a long time before speaking.

"What you up to?"

Su Xiangxue asked, "I'm warning you beforehand, forcing this kind of person won't work. It might even backfire and make him destroy the map."

"Of course I know that, so I have to find a way to force him into a situation where he has no choice but to compromise with me."

Bai Qiuran smiled.

"The Black Snake King and his group want to seize the throne? It won't be that easy. This kid doesn't understand me at all. I won't let a bunch of juniors' Struggle lead me by the nose."

"You have an idea?"

Su Xiangxue's bright eyes flickered as she asked.

"I have a preliminary idea."

Bai Qiuran replied, "I'll tell you when we get back. Now, do you want to wander around the Monster Race Imperial City some more, or go straight back?"

"Since we've finally gotten out, we should definitely take another look around."

Su Xiangxue would never let such a good opportunity slip by.

"Then let's go down."

Bai Qiuran spoke, he tried to jump from the tall building into the imperial city. Seeing this, Su Xiangxue quickly reached out and grabbed him.

"What?"

"You, a Human Race, dare to appear so brazenly in the Monster Race Imperial City?"

As Su Xiangxue spoke, she took out some strange parts.

"Let me do your makeup, then you can go downstairs."

On the streets of the Monster Race Imperial City, with the departure of the Demon Emperor's coffin, the area gradually regained some vitality.

Although the Monster Race Chancellor issued an order that the entire city must observe three days of mourning before reopening, some restaurants, hotels, and teahouses in the Imperial Capital had already begun operating in the afternoon.

Even though they were truly grieving over the death of the Demon Emperor, life had to go on. The market was closed for three days, which meant that many residents in the city did not have enough food at home and had to eat at restaurants on the street.

Therefore, after the Demon Emperor's funeral procession left the Imperial Capital, Monster Race began to gradually return to their usual activities on the streets.

Meanwhile, along the Canal in the Imperial Capital, two "Monster Race" walked one after the other along the riverbank, attracting the attention of countless people.

Leading the way was a stunningly beautiful female "Monster Race" carrying a paper umbrella. With her jet-black hair, delicate eyebrows, and an air of purity that seemed to rise above the mud, she possessed a strange allure that could ignite a man's most primal Desire to possess.

Her face was veiled, obscuring the lower half of her features. She moved slowly forward along the riverbank. Some of the male Monster Race around her were eager to make a move, but they gave up the idea after seeing the white dragon scales that appeared behind the female "Monster Race's " ears.

Bloodline is an insurmountable barrier between Monster Race, and Monster Race with Dragon Race blood are at least high-level elites. These are demons that ordinary Monster Race like them cannot afford to offend.

Behind this beautiful Female Yaoguai was a male Monster Race with White Hair and eyebrows. Judging from the markings on his face, he was likely a tiger demon of a high level and with a relatively pure bloodline, probably the Female Yaoguai's attendant or guard.

These two Monster Race were, of course, Su Xiangxue and Bai Qiuran in disguise. Su Xiangxue was quite convenient, as she herself had Monster Race blood. With just a little activation, allowing the demon blood in her body to manifest its characteristics, she could transform into a high-level demon.

Bai Qiuran was in a much more troublesome situation. His resistance to magic was too high, so he couldn't resist the transformation spell that Su Xiangxue cast on him. He also didn't have the True Essence to cast a transformation spell himself. So after fiddling around for a long time, Su Xiangxue could only draw a few lines on his face with a pen to make him look like a tiger demon.

The feeling of having paint smeared on his face annoyed the guy, and every two steps he would raise his hand and carefully scratch the edges of the paint.

"Be careful not to scratch it off."

Su Xiangxue said helplessly, "If you fall, you might be attacked by the surrounding Monster Races..."

"I'm afraid of them."

Bai Qiuran refused to admit defeat, but she still put her hand down.

It's a rare opportunity for him to accompany this girl, and if things get messed up because of a fight, Su Xiangxue will probably be angry with him for a long time.

"But is there really no Human Race in this City?"

Bai Qiuran followed behind Su Xiangxue, took the umbrella from her hand, and held it over her head.

"Yes, there are, but most are just here temporarily for business and won't stay long."

Su Xiangxue replied, "The higher-ranking Monster Race in this city don't even consider their lower-ranking counterparts as their own, exploiting them in every way; how much more so would they treat humans?"

"So you mean if a Human Race gets into trouble here, even if it's just a minor conflict, they definitely won't be able to leave this city, right?"

That's roughly the idea.

As luck would have it, just as the two finished speaking, a deafening shout from a Monster Race suddenly echoed from the next street.

"Help! Help! Human Race are killing people in the streets!"
