Ninth-level is great? Why should I share what I fought so hard for with you?
Hu Xiao wrapped one arm around Li Qingzhuang and used his other hand to pinch her fair chin.
“Have you thought it through?”
Li Qingzhuang nodded gently, her beautiful eyes brimming as she looked at Hu Xiao.
“My King, when you first met me, I told you I had no choice.”
“And these past few days, My King, you have treated your concubine well.”
“Your concubine is willing to follow My King, but there is one condition.”
Hu Xiao curved his lips into a smile.
“Since you’ve followed me, you are my person. Don’t say one condition, even if it’s ten or a hundred.”
“As long as this king can do it, I will naturally fulfill all of them for you.”
Li Qingzhuang looked at Hu Xiao, her red lips parting slightly: “Actually, my condition is very simple. I have no other pursuit in this life, only cultivation.”
“As long as My King provides me with enough cultivation resources, that will be enough.”
Back then, she was just a first-rank rogue cultivator, lacking resources, which was why she was deceived by a Tian Jian Sect elder into joining the sect.
“No problem.” Hu Xiao immediately agreed, “From now on, you can freely use the resources of my Tiger King Territory.”
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Qingzhuang’s face, and she spoke in a soft voice, slightly shyly.
“Thank you, My King. Then your concubine will be your person from now on.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Xiao could no longer restrain himself and immediately untied the silk sash around Li Qingzhuang’s waist.
Her dress fell open.
In an instant, spring filled the garden.
Hu Xiao began his diligent labor once more.
At the same time, in the outside world.
The news of the Tian Jian Sect’s destruction spread very quickly, after all, quite a few people had witnessed the battle that day.
Although the spectators were dispersed by Hu Xiao during the battle, many curious people still came to observe after Hu Xiao left.
When they saw that the Tian Jian Sect had truly been destroyed, they were somewhat shocked.
And now, this news had already completely spread among the Human and Demon races.
On the Demon race’s side.
Some ninth-rank Great Demons who were unaware of the full situation gathered together after learning of the matter, their expressions all somewhat unsightly.
“Hu Xiao was truly too reckless. He actually dared to act on his own initiative in such a matter.”
“If this leads to a Human-Demon War, can he bear the responsibility?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than another voice came from beside him.
“I heard that his cultivation has been increasing very rapidly recently, and he’s gotten a bit carried away, losing sight of his own position.”
“Does he really think that with his eighth-rank strength, no one can do anything to him?”
“I suggest we apprehend Hu Xiao and publicly punish him as a warning to others, to prevent a major upheaval.”
“I agree.”
“That’s a good idea!”
Suddenly, aVicissitudes voice came.
“This matter is actually not Hu Xiao’s fault.”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see an old man with antlers on his head and white hair and eyebrows speaking.
“As far as I know, Hu Xiao only wanted to avenge a personal grudge against the Tian Jian Sect. If we’re talking about overstepping, the Human race started it first.”
“How can Hu Xiao be blamed?”
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
On the Human race’s side, it was likewise.
Some large sects who were unaware of the full story were furious when they learned that the Tian Jian Sect had been destroyed by the Demon race.
But after an investigation, they learned that Hu Xiao had only come to seek personal revenge.
And it was the Tian Jian Sect that had provoked first, so their arrogance immediately vanished.
Therefore, this matter, which seemed extremely serious and could even trigger a war between the Human and Demon sides,
was ultimately left unresolved after the situation was clarified.
And at this moment, Hu Xiao, the central figure of this matter,
did not leave his room for five days and four nights after winning Li Qingzhuang’s heart.
And Li Qingzhuang finally understood why Luo Shuiyan had said she would be working hard in the future.
She had thought that as a Demon, Hu Xiao might be stronger than an average man, but she never expected him to be this strong.
During this time, at first, she was still a bit shy, just lying on the bed.
Her face was as red as a ripe cherry, allowing Hu Xiao to do as he pleased.
But after tasting the pleasure, she would even take the initiative and attack first.
However, after several consecutive days, she was still somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.
Just after one session ended, Hu Xiao’s mind suddenly heard the system’s voice.
“Ding, detected Li Qingzhuang is pregnant. Rewarding one gift package.”
Hu Xiao smiled knowingly.
“It wasn’t in vain that this king poured his all into her these past few days.”
“Now, I need to rest well.”
Then he opened the reward gift package.
“Ding, congratulations to the host, you have received one Hundred Spirits Fruit.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host, you have received one portion of eighth-rank Demon Beast essence blood.”
The Hundred Spirits Fruit, when consumed, can increase the cultivation of cultivators below the seventh rank.
Hu Xiao looked at the rewards he received this time and was quite satisfied.
Although they were useless to him, they could be given to Luo Shuiyan and Qingxue.
After accompanying Li Qingzhuang for a while longer, telling her to rest well, he got up and left, preparing to find Luo Shuiyan and Qingxue.
Li Qingzhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Hu Xiao leave.
Finally, she could get some good rest.
During this time, she felt like her bones were about to fall apart.
Hu Xiao found Luo Shuiyan and Qingxue, giving them the Hundred Spirits Fruit and Demon Beast essence blood respectively. He had just spent a short time talking with them when he saw Xiong Da rushing in to report.
“My King, Crocodile Qianjia has arrived and says he has an urgent matter to discuss with My King. He is currently waiting in the main hall!”
Upon hearing Crocodile Qianjia’s name, Hu Xiao’s eyes sharpened.
He knew Crocodile Qianjia, who came from the Thousand Crocodile Swamp, tens of thousands of miles away from the Tiger King Territory. He was a genuine ninth-rank Great Demon.
But why was he here to see him?
Coming uninvited, he must have some ulterior motive.
After pondering for a moment, he greeted Luo Shuiyan and Qingxue, then looked at Xiong Da and said, “Let’s go, we’ll meet him.”
Soon, they met Crocodile Qianjia in the main hall.
“Brother Qianjia, why have you graced my humble abode?” Hu Xiao spoke quite politely.
He immediately had Xiong Da arrange a seat for him and had people bring over some food.
“Hahaha, I heard you destroyed the Tian Jian Sect, so I specifically came to congratulate you.” Crocodile Qianjia laughed heartily twice.
“The Tian Jian Sect was a major sect, full of countless treasures.”
“Hu Xiao, if you alone possess such heavy treasures, I’m afraid it will attract the covetousness of others!”
Hu Xiao immediately understood upon hearing this; this dog-like fellow was here to take advantage of him.
“Brother Qianjia, although I seized the Tian Jian Sect’s possessions, my Demon Soldiers also suffered heavy losses…”
Upon hearing this, Crocodile Qianjia’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected Hu Xiao to be so uncooperative, even after he had spoken so clearly.
“Hu Xiao, I advise you not to be ungrateful. If I get angry, I’ll tear down your Tiger King Territory!”
“You try it?”
Hu Xiao’s eyes turned cold, and he immediately activated the Ten Thousand Spirits Formation.
His cultivation and aura rose to the peak of the eighth-rank state.
Although his cultivation was still slightly lower, with his many trump cards, he was not afraid of Crocodile Qianjia.
In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.
Crocodile Qianjia stared at Hu Xiao, killing intent surging in his eyes, and sneered.
“So it’s eighth-rank peak…”
“Very good, Hu Xiao, I’ve long heard you’re arrogant, but I didn’t expect you to be this arrogant!”
Seeing Hu Xiao’s ample confidence, Crocodile Qianjia, though furious, was a cautious demon.
He understood that this was Hu Xiao’s territory, and he was alone. If they truly came to blows, there was no guarantee what unexpected things might happen.
Immediately, Crocodile Qianjia left a harsh threat.
“I hope in a while, you can still be this arrogant.”
With that, he directly overturned the table and turned to leave.
