Today I am a chicken

A cold wind rustled, and snowflakes drifted.

The Demon City, originally as black as ink, was now covered by ice and snowstorms.

The city gates, filled with the marks of time, were now seeing a continuous stream of figures pouring in.

It is said that after the Demon City descended, some forces had arrived early but, due to various concerns, chose to observe for a period.

However, as time went on, one figure after another entered.

Gradually, many people could no longer sit still!

They were here to compete for treasures.

If others had already obtained the Legacy, and they hadn't even entered the gates, it would be a huge joke.

For a time, countless people swarmed into the city!

Of course, not all of these people coveted the True Demon Inheritance!

Some came with the idea of fishing in troubled waters.

In their view, obtaining the True Demon Inheritance would be best!

If they couldn't, the Demon City was said to have been built by the Demon Lord with immense effort, so there must be many other good things; if they could find even scraps, it would be a worthwhile trip.

It could be said that at this moment, the Demon City was like an undeveloped treasure trove, attracting one group of cultivators after another to enter.

Little did they know that while they were still dreaming of getting rich, someone had already fled overnight!

Three days passed in a flash!

In three days, the entire Snowwind Plains returned to its original quiet and desolate state!

Almost everyone had entered the Demon City!

Zhong Qing entered the city with the last group of people.

The Twelve Demon Generals followed behind him, strutting proudly.

At this moment, the Demon City had undergone a great change!

Although it still looked very dilapidated!

But with more people, the Qi became stronger!

When the Qi became stronger, it even gave a false sense of prosperity!

“Master, I recall that back then, the Demon City was thousands of times livelier than it is now.”

“It’s all thanks to that damned Heavenly God; if he hadn’t ambushed Master while he was in seclusion, how could the Demon Race have fallen to its current state?”

When the Twelve Demon Generals saw the Demon City bustling with people again, they couldn't help but recall the past.

Demon One said with even greater resentment.

Mentioning that Heavenly God, it was as if he wished he could strip his bones and eat his flesh, with a deep-seated grievance that refused to dissipate.

Zhong Qing could somewhat understand his thoughts on this.

The former glory had all turned to dust, and former companions had all passed away.

Anyone would be unwilling, right?

However, these Twelve Demon Generals, with their hatred for heaven, earth, immortals, and gods, were, in the end, too idle.

They had nothing to do.

To put it simply, they were bored and thought too much.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing decided to find something for them to do.

“Chicken One!”

This caused Demon One's angry emotions to subside.

He looked at Zhong Qing with a look of suspicion, as if doubting his chicken-ness, and said faintly: “Master, I am not Chicken One; I am Demon One!”

Zhong Qing patted his head: “It’s all the same; don’t mind these details!”

Alright.

Mainly, Zhong Qing couldn't remember them, and calling them this was more fitting.

This made Demon One even more resentful.

Was it all the same?

Demon One, what a domineering name!

And Chicken One?

It made him, the dignified leader of the Twelve Demon Generals, seem like a little chick.

However, he glanced at his own body, which was clearly damaged.

He truly looked like a weak chicken now.

Calling him Chicken One was indeed more fitting.

“What are Master’s commands?”

Although Demon One had reservations about the title Chicken One.

He still asked respectfully.

Zhong Qing said calmly.

“I told you before that Bai Ling is my future Disciple.”

“This True Demon Inheritance is for her.”

“Now that so many people have come to the city, to prevent Bai Ling from being in danger, I am now sending you to protect her in secret.”

“Anyone you deem a threat to Bai Ling, you may appropriately eliminate.”

The Twelve Demon Generals always carried out Zhong Qing’s orders unconditionally.

“Master, shall we depart now!”

Upon hearing that there was a mission, the Twelve Demon Generals, whose morale had not been very high, all brightened their eyes.

Speaking of this, they were no longer tired!

Especially since they could also kill people!

Duck Seven even rubbed his fists, clearly having a strong urge to make a big splash.

Zhong Qing gave him a flick on the forehead in annoyance.

“Try to keep a low profile on this trip!”

“Especially you, Duck Seven.”

“Don’t let everyone know.”

“Master, I am not Duck Seven; I am Mo Qi!”

Mo Qi experienced the exact same resentment as Demon One!

However, Zhong Qing turned a deaf ear.

“Go!”

“Remember my words, try to be low-key!”

“Yes, Master!”

At this moment, Demon One and Mo Qi no longer cared about the titles.

In their hearts, Zhong Qing’s commands were above all else.

It was their duty to help their Master solve problems!

The Twelve Demon Generals flew off noisily!

And Zhong Qing, meanwhile, found a tall building, a pot of turbid wine, and quietly leaned against the building, observing.

…

The Twelve Demon Generals were extremely familiar with the Demon City.

They had lived here for countless years; one could say they could walk through it with their eyes closed.

During the mission of a group of chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs.

Mo Qi asked, puzzled: “Big Brother, why do you think Master calls you Chicken One, and why does he call me Duck Seven?”

“Do you think Master, after returning from reincarnation, has even forgotten us?”

He had a bitter expression, coupled with a duck face, giving him a clumsy and adorable feeling.

If his former enemies saw him like this, they would probably be dumbfounded.

When did the dignified Mo Qi, once known as a Devil Head who killed without blinking and ate people without spitting out bones, learn to act cute?

Demon One was also very depressed.

However, he still said: “Don’t talk nonsense; what kind of person is Master? His every word and action must have profound meaning.”

“It’s just, what is this profound meaning?”

Mo Qi’s clear eyes revealed deep confusion.

“Big Brother, Seventh Brother, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it?”

A yellow ox came over, speaking in a muffled voice.

“Speak!”

“What kind of person is Master? Back then, when he was defeated, although that despicable Heavenly God was suspected of ambushing him, Master must have considered it a lifelong humiliation.”

“Do you think Master doesn’t want to mention the past too much?”

“And thus gives us a new identity?”

“This is not Master forgetting us, but a sign of his high regard?”

As soon as these words came out, Demon One and Mo Qi’s eyes instantly lit up.

The latter looked at the old ox with surprise, exclaiming: “Eleventh, I didn’t realize! I used to only know you as simple-minded and strong-limbed, but I never thought you’d have such insight.”

“Seventh Brother flatters me!”

The old ox said with a simple and honest smile.

With the old ox’s explanation, Demon One and Mo Qi’s depressed hearts were clearly much lighter.

“I’ve decided, from today onwards, I will be called Chicken One!”

Demon One directly changed his name.

From then on, he presented himself as Chicken One.

And Mo Qi was not to be outdone; he also changed his name to Duck Seven.

The remaining ten Demon Generals began clamoring to change their names, following Chicken One and Duck Seven.

After all, this was their Master’s intention.

How dared they disobey?
