Chapter 33 Part 2: Immortal Lord, you are indeed very fragrant.
Yan Jingyu was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, “It probably wouldn’t be too troublesome. You can designate this place as a safe zone, find trustworthy and smart people to register and manage it, and then find high-cultivation people to supervise it to prevent people from fighting here. As for other places, the Demonic Domain is so big, it’s impossible to manage it completely… But, the most important thing is not to give this place to the five major tribes. If you give it to them, it will definitely be a mess.”
Liao Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly. “If not to them, then to whom?”
“Of course, to the ordinary rogue cultivators.” Yan Jingyu said, as if it were a matter of course. “The new city only needs to attract rogue cultivators at the beginning. People who are willing to enter the safe zone must be people who don’t like to fight. Only these people will be willing to voluntarily build the safe zone for long-term stability. In the early stage, you must not give the five major tribes a chance to interfere. This way, you only need to ensure the safety of the people living in the city.
“This is very simple. A safety restriction can solve it. On the side of the five major tribes, they will think that this city was built by you personally, that you are the lord of this city. Out of respect for you, everyone will not dare to come here and cause trouble. If they want to interfere, they will have to come up with conditions to exchange with you. But they probably won’t be willing to invest in the early stage and will only wait to see you make a fool of yourself.”
“But,” Yan Jingyu walked forward slowly, “the living environment in the Demonic Domain is difficult. If you promise safety, everyone will naturally not hesitate to join you…”
“If it were me,” Liao Chen said, “I would definitely doubt if the Demon Lord is so kind.”
“Doubt is certain.” Yan Jingyu said, “But doubt is just a seed. Whether it can sprout or not depends on time. But the problem of survival is urgent. If you raise your arm and call out, you will be pointing a clear path for those who have no backing. Whether it’s true or false, you’ll only know after you walk in.”
Yan Jingyu turned to him again. “These people who temporarily have no backing, with you as their backing, they are more likely to become your right and left hands in the future. When this group of people becomes a force, the five major tribes will no longer dare to have evil intentions.”
“At that time, you won’t have to be afraid of being alone.”
He still remembered this matter… Liao Chen avoided his gaze. “It’s not that easy.”
“How is it that difficult?” Yan Jingyu said, “You are the Demon Lord. If there are any who are not convinced, just kill them.”
“…You can actually say such a thing.”
“I can say anything.” Yan Jingyu took the opportunity to step on the nearby stone steps, turned his head to look at Liao Chen, and smiled wantonly. “It just depends on where I want to stand.”
After a few moments, Liao Chen finally caught up to him and sneered contemptuously. “It’s also as expected of you.”
The two of them returned to the Demon Palace. In front of the Suixing Hall, Liao Chen suddenly said, “Give me some time.”
“Hmm?”
“I will build a city.”
A city with everything.
When he stepped into the Suixing Hall, Liao Chen suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. Yan Jingyu followed and tilted his head.
Ever since Liao Chen had put all the bright pearls back in their original places, the Demon Palace finally no longer had to experience night. At this moment, under the glazed lanterns, two little demons were sleeping with their heads against each other. He was a little surprised. “How did they…”
“They should be here to find you.” Liao Chen waved away a cold wind. The two of them immediately woke up and sat up straight. Mo Xia quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and heard Mo Dong say, “Lord, Lord.”
“What is it?”
“I, I wanted to ask Immortal Lord Yan about the matter of formations…”
Mo Dong’s expression was sheepish. Yan Jingyu was very surprised. “You, asking me?!”
He still remembered how much this kid listened to Liao Chen. This nine-tailed fox clan was indeed very smart, probably a hundred little Taoties smarter than Liao Chen. No matter how Yan Jingyu had tried to talk to him before, he had not taken the bait at all.
“Mm…” Mo Dong summoned his courage. “Is it okay?”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Liao Chen. Mo Xia also stood obediently with him, secretly looking at Liao Chen’s expression.
She always felt that the little nine-tails was a bit too clever. Although she didn’t mind getting close to the current Yan Jingyu, after all, he was now both handsome and a waste. When she was happy, she could look at him a few more times. When she was unhappy, she could directly smash his head with her head, without worrying about having her core dug out by the other.
But to mention this kind of thing in front of the Lord… wasn’t that just asking for a scolding…
“Don’t you want to play with them?” Liao Chen turned to Yan Jingyu. “Don’t be too late.”
Yan Jingyu raised both his eyebrows at the same time. He stared at his figure disappearing into the back corridor until he suddenly realized something—
“He, he’s actually not on guard against me anymore?” Yan Jingyu, while surprised, ran towards the two little demons. “What’s the situation? He’s actually willing to let you stay with a big bad guy like me?”
Although he said that, his hands had already directly picked up the manuscript brought by Mo Dong and casually flipped through it.
Mo Xia nodded in agreement. Mo Dong, on the other hand, said, “You don’t understand why he’s no longer on guard against you?”
“Why…” Yan Jingyu thought seriously. “It should be because I’ve been sincere with him recently. This sincerity really has to be exchanged with sincerity.”
“Mm.” Mo Dong agreed. “Sincerity has to be exchanged with sincerity.”
It was a rare opportunity to finally be able to communicate with someone other than Liao Chen. Yan Jingyu unreservedly answered all of Mo Dong’s questions. Only Mo Xia, because she was too stupid, had her head knocked several times with a rolled-up book.
This little Taotie also had a bad temper. Several times, she had turned her head into a beast head and wanted to eat him, but was calmed down by the little nine-tails rubbing her head. But how could Yan Jingyu be afraid of her? Each time, he knocked her a little harder than the last, clearly deliberately courting death.
Not until the girl couldn’t take it anymore and smashed the table into pieces with her beast head, and both the learning and teaching could no longer continue.
Yan Jingyu held the book and stood stiffly to the side, watching as the ferocious beast head slowly lifted, its crimson eyes staring at him. He slowly raised his hand to press on his chest and coughed weakly.
His face was already a little pale. After a series of violent coughs, a morbid flush appeared on his cheeks, making him look as if he could cough himself to death at any moment.
Mo Xia stared at him for a while, then hesitantly changed back. “Are, are you okay?”
“I, my soul-lamp is weak. I can’t take much fright…” Yan Jingyu looked pitiful, his eyes red. Mo Xia rubbed her own head again and frowned. “Forget it, forget it. I won’t hold it against you. Anyway, my head is very hard.”
Yan Jingyu nodded. “I can’t hold on anymore. I want to go rest first.”
He swayed as he propped himself up. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind: “Wait a minute.”
Yan Jingyu coughed twice more. Although he wasn’t afraid that the Taotie would really eat him, it was definitely not something a human could withstand to be smashed by that head of hers a few times.
“Let out the blood beast. Let’s have a match.”
This little one was really looking for death. Yan Jingyu cast a helpless glance at her and said softly, “It’s so late. It should be sleeping. Another day.”
He clutched his chest and walked along the corridor, holding onto the door frame. He made sure that the people behind him couldn’t see him before he rubbed his sore throat from the fake coughing, and then ran back. As soon as he entered the door, he said, “Why is that little girl so fierce?! Did you raise her yourself?”
Liao Chen was focused on inputting spiritual energy into something. As soon as Yan Jingyu’s eyes moved over, he saw him directly put it away. He was a little confused and walked over. “What is it?”
“Nothing.” Liao Chen said, “Do you want to take a bath and rest early?”
“I don’t want to take a bath.”
Liao Chen didn’t say much and directly threw him a Dust-Cleansing Pearl. Yan Jingyu cleaned himself, then went to drink a mouthful of lotus flower dew. He suddenly came to Liao Chen’s side again and breathed on him.
“…” The fresh lotus fragrance rushed to his face. Liao Chen’s eyelid twitched. “What are you doing?”
“Doesn’t it smell good?” Yan Jingyu handed over a cup, sharing kindly. “Do you want some too?”
“No.”
“Isn’t it nice to have a fragrant mouth? Ha, ha, ha, mmm—”
Liao Chen directly pinched his face. Yan Jingyu, who was breathing, was forced to stop, his mouth pouting. Liao Chen directly pinched him and turned him to the side, his gaze falling on a patch of skin on his neck that was different from the other parts. “The wood grain has appeared again.”
“…” Yan Jingyu immediately slapped his hand away and turned to run towards the bed, but was grabbed by him and directly pulled into his arms. He struggled for a moment. Liao Chen had already reached out and pulled open his collar. “You must have some on your body too.”
“No…” Yan Jingyu closed it himself, but was pulled open again by him. Liao Chen’s gaze went down from his clavicle, then supported his waist, his hand continuing to slide down.
“Wait, wait!” Yan Jingyu quickly pressed it down, his expression complicated. “Do you know what you’re doing?”
How come this Liao Qi Mei doesn’t seem to have learned any lessons… Did he not suffer enough from the lesson in Jiuyi Mountain last time? He still dares to strip his clothes with his own hands…
Liao Chen also suddenly reacted. He paused for a moment. “I’ll close my eyes. You let me touch it.”
His eyes were closed, but Yan Jingyu’s eyes almost popped out. He grabbed Liao Chen’s hand again. “No, Liao Qi Mei, are you tired of living?”
Although he had no other feelings for Liao Qi Mei now… but he was a man after all. What if he got turned on by his touch?
He didn’t know how to avoid suspicion at all…
Moreover, so what if the other closed his eyes? His divine sense could still see him.
Yan Jingyu wanted to sit up again, but was pressed down again by him. Liao Chen had to look at him. “Then you just tell me honestly, how many more are there on your body?”
“You can’t see it anyway, and it won’t be an eyesore to you. Why do you have to care so much?”
“…” Liao Chen no longer wasted words with him. He directly picked him up and dived into the bed curtains. “If I want to know, I’ll know. Do I need to ask for your opinion?!”
“Haha, you, don’t mess around… Liao Xiao Mei, you hahaha… I can’t, your hand is so cold…”
“Have you found it yet… haha, no, it’s really itchy…”
But as he had thought, even with his eyes closed, Liao Chen could clearly see the grass, flowers, trees, and fruits on his body. His palm was filled with a warm and moist touch. But the fellow in front of him was so sensitive that a single touch would make him laugh until his eyes were filled with tears.
After a round of inspection, Liao Chen finally withdrew his hand, looking at the flushed and disheveled fellow.
Yan Jingyu was panting, the smile in his eyes not yet completely gone. His shimmering eyes met his deep ones, and he gradually realized that something was not right. “What, why are you looking at me like that?”
As he spoke, he pulled the clothes under him to cover his exposed long legs, but because his hands were not long enough, he only managed to cover his thighs.
His two calves were crossed and pressed together. He then subconsciously pulled at the clothes on his shoulders. “Hurry up, get down.”
His gaze went to the side. He kept pulling at his clothes, trying to cover the skin exposed to the air. Unfortunately, it had already been messed up by Liao Chen. He pulled it here, and it was exposed there.
After a few times, he had to glare at Liao Chen. “What on earth are you looking at!!”
His expression was already a little annoyed. Liao Chen’s gaze met his, becoming more and more profound. He moved a little closer, his nose stopping at his lips, as if sighing. “Hmm—”
“Immortal Lord, you are indeed very fragrant.”
