69: Skinny Egg: This is all our King's territory!
Xu Qing walked in the lead.
Skinny Egg dragged Fat Ball by the feet, the fat Monkey Demon's head bumping against the stones from time to time, emitting muffled 'thud, thud' sounds.
The Fox Demon Girl in a red dress followed behind, her fox-like eyes sizing up the strange group in front, full of curiosity.
It didn't take long for them to venture deep into the Flower and Fruit Forest.
Monkey Demons appeared and bowed one after another upon seeing Xu Qing.
Their movements were uniform; each one buried its head low, not daring to look directly at Xu Qing.
When they reached the central area of the Flower and Fruit Forest, a large group of Monkey Demons appeared, covering the mountains and plains. Those with high Cultivation Level wore armor and held weapons, standing at the very front with an imposing air.
"Greetings, King!!"
The Monkey Demons at the front roared, then immediately knelt to pay their respects.
The many Monkey Demons behind followed suit, kneeling in unison and shouting, "Long live the King!"
The loud cheers were deafening, reaching the clouds. The Aura startled the mountains and forests, causing the entire Flower and Fruit Forest to fall into silence.
Tushan Yiyi raised her delicate eyebrows, a flash of surprise crossing her fox-like eyes.
Everyone knew that Monkey Demons were mischievous and difficult to discipline, but the scene before her was completely different from her impression.
These numerous Monkey Demons all had solemn expressions, behaving obediently without a single restless movement.
It was truly rare.
However, what Tushan Yiyi was even more curious about was how, as a Snake Demon, he had become the King of the Monkey Demons?
Shouldn't the King of the Monkey Demons be a Monkey Demon?
Not only Tushan Yiyi, but Xu Qing himself was also a bit surprised.
Since when did the Monkey Demons start putting on such a grand show? He had never seen it before.
Could it be that Fat Ball and Skinny Egg trained them specifically?
He looked back at Skinny Egg and discovered that the Protector Skinny also had a look of bewilderment.
Then it must be a new trick Fat Ball had come up with.
It was just a pity that it was still unconscious; otherwise, it would have surely buttered him up again.
Xu Qing suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and signaled for the Monkey Demons to rise.
He didn't linger in the Flower and Fruit Forest and continued to advance toward the Taihang Mountains.
Tushan Yiyi had just begun to prepare her words, but finding that Xu Qing was on the move again, she was suddenly confused.
Why are we walking again?
Weren't we going to discuss matters?
Doubt appeared in her fox-like eyes, and the Fox Demon Girl wanted to ask.
But remembering that she was here to ask for help, and that asking questions indiscriminately wouldn't be good, she held back.
After a while.
Xu Qing arrived at the junction of the Flower and Fruit Forest and Profound Yin Mountain.
Seeing that he was still going to keep walking, Tushan Yiyi truly couldn't help it anymore and cautiously reminded him:
"Um... if we keep walking forward, we'll reach another territory. It wouldn't be good for us to enter, would it? We might anger the owner here."
"Huh?"
Skinny Egg turned its head and said, "The front is also our King's territory."
"Hmm?"
Tushan Yiyi was stunned upon hearing this, unable to react for a moment.
"What did you say?" she asked subconsciously.
"The front is Profound Yin Mountain, our Matriarch's old home. You didn't know?" Skinny Egg said.
Tushan Yiyi's mind was struggling to process this.
That mysterious Snake King ahead actually possessed three territories?
Adding these three places together, they were probably much larger than Tushan!?
Tushan Yiyi's eyes flickered; she felt that Xu Qing was shrouded in a layer of mysterious Aura.
But just at this moment.
Skinny Egg said proudly, "It's not just these three places. The nearby Crouching Dragon Pool and the Taihang Mountains behind Profound Yin Mountain are all our King's territory. The King started his rise in the Taihang Mountains; that is where the King resides!"
The Fox Demon Girl's body trembled, her footsteps halting, and a thick layer of shock appeared in her fox-like eyes.
Skinny Egg's words echoed in the girl's ears, constantly shaking her heart.
Such a huge territory!?
Even if the demon cultivators on the outskirts of the great mountains were not strong, unifying such a large territory required extremely strong power!
"Hurry up, or we won't be able to keep up with the King later!" Skinny Egg reminded, turning back.
"Coming!"
Tushan Yiyi finally came to her senses, the hope in her eyes growing stronger.
A long while later.
Xu Qing's group walked into the Taihang Mountains, and a large mountain gradually appeared before their eyes.
Not long after.
They arrived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.
Tushan Yiyi looked at the great mountain before her, her eyes full of curiosity.
However, when she truly arrived at the foot of the mountain, her expression changed.
"The Spiritual Qi here!"
With a cry of surprise, the Fox Demon Girl furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
She quietly stepped back a few paces, then walked forward again, finally confirming the anomaly.
Near the foot of the mountain, the concentration of Spiritual Qi had clearly increased by several levels!
It was absolutely not inferior to the deepest part of Tushan, and perhaps even more concentrated!
It was only a distance of one zhang, so how could there be such a huge difference in Spiritual Qi?
Throughout the journey, Tushan Yiyi had too many doubts appearing in her mind; numerous questions filled her head, and her curiosity was completely stirred up.
She was full of curiosity toward the cyan figure in front and had many questions she wanted to ask.
For a moment, Tushan Yiyi almost forgot the real purpose of her visit.
"How is it? You felt it, right!"
Skinny Egg turned its head triumphantly.
"This is the Formation our King set up. It can gather the surrounding Spiritual Qi and increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Taihang Mountains!"
The way it said it, it was as if it had set up the Formation itself, its face full of pride.
If it were before, given Tushan Yiyi's personality, she would probably have been angry.
But now, shock filled her mind, and she didn't pay any attention to Skinny Egg's expression at all.
"Formation... He actually knows how to set up a Formation!"
"Hehe."
Skinny Egg chuckled secretly.
It peeked at the caves at the foot of the mountain, its eyes full of anticipation, as if waiting to watch a good show.
Sure enough.
From the caves at the foot of the mountain, Xu Qing's many consorts sensed his Aura and walked out of their Immortal Caves one after another to welcome him.
"Husband, Husband is back!"
"The Formation Husband set up is truly amazing; my Cultivation Level has increased quite a bit recently."
"The children are the same, their bodies are in great shape; they will surely have at least a thousand years of Cultivation Level in the future!"
"Is Husband coming tonight? I feel like I can handle it now..."
The female demons surrounded Xu Qing one by one, their voices pouring into his ears all at once.
One woman is comparable to ten thousand ducks; with nearly a hundred present, the power of them speaking together could not be underestimated.
Xu Qing was a bit overwhelmed and had to use a great deal of effort to break free.
"Follow me up."
He turned back and said to the Fox Demon Girl standing in place.
Tushan Yiyi looked at the numerous female demons at the foot of the mountain, her thoughts chaotic; she couldn't quite react.
At this moment, the female demons also noticed the girl in the red dress and curiously crowded around.
"Eh, is this our new sister?"
"She looks so beautiful; I like her just by looking at her."
"Husband's taste has always been very good."
"..."
Listening to the words in her ears, a very faint blush appeared on Tushan Yiyi's cold, aloof face.
"Who is your sister!"
The Fox Demon Girl stomped her foot and scolded.
She felt a bit like turning around and leaving. That guy was truly too terrifying; he actually had so many wives. He was probably a guy even more lustful than the Bear King.
