Bulging belly

After deciding to return, Zhong Qing chose to depart the next day.

He originally wanted to return discreetly, but the Twelve Demon Generals were a flamboyant bunch.

When Chicken One learned that Zhong Qing was leaving the Northern Region and wouldn't be back for a while, he waved his hand and gathered everyone from the Demon Palace to see him off.

At the entrance of Demon City!

Zhong Qing stood on the Earth!

Beside him, Bai Ling accompanied him, and Scarecrow stood far off to the side.

The Twelve Demon Generals followed behind him, strutting proudly.

Azure Dragon Horse and Earth Bull Demon were also present.

"We respectfully send off our Master!"

Tens of thousands of Demon Palace members spoke, kneeling in unison.

Their voices were like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

This scared the Star Moon Sect, not far from Demon City, into a collective panic.

The original Star Moon Sect was a well-known minor overlord in the surrounding area.

But ever since Demon City descended opposite their Sect, their daily lives had been a torment.

After all, who were the people who came to contend for the True Demon Inheritance this time?

First-rate forces, top-tier forces, Transcendent Powers, and even some powerful Loose Cultivators!

It could be said that there were far too many existences that could easily crush them.

However, now, the Four Transcendent Powers that came to Demon City were either annihilated or absorbed, and as the only local force, the Star Moon Sect's Sect Master only had Sanyin Realm cultivation, and the entire Sect managed to remain unscathed in this turmoil and storm.

It had to be said, this was truly a miracle.

At the entrance of Demon City!

Zhong Qing looked at the tens of thousands of Demon Palace members.

He couldn't help but marvel at the strong execution ability of Chicken One and the others.

Initially, he only wanted the Twelve Demon Generals to protect Bai Ling, but he never expected them to create such a powerful force.

Moreover, he could see that the cohesion of this force was very high, not comparable to a disorganized mob.

Bringing them under his command could indeed become a source of assistance.

Thinking of this, he called for Chicken One.

"Master, what are your instructions?"

Chicken One bowed deeply to Zhong Qing and said respectfully.

Zhong Qing stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "Since this Demon Palace was created by you, what arrangements do you have for them?"

Upon hearing this, Chicken One pondered for a moment before saying, "Master, I think Demon City can be the Demon Palace's base camp."

"The Twelve Demon Generals will be by Master's side from now on and won't have time to manage them. We can select two Vice Palace Masters to temporarily govern the Demon Palace."

Zhong Qing thought about it and found no issues, so he nodded immediately and said, "In that case, you go arrange it!"

"Once arranged, we should set off!"

"As Master commands!"

Chicken One was a man of action.

As soon as Zhong Qing gave the order, he immediately began to act.

"Who's that?"

"And who's that?"

"You two, step forward!"

He pointed his wing, casually selecting two people.

It was none other than Ji Wuchang, the Sect Master of Four Seasons Sect, and Bai Wuxia, the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"What are Chicken Lord's instructions?"

The two bowed and stepped forward, coming to Chicken One's side.

"From now on, you two will be the Vice Palace Masters of the Demon Palace!"

"Now, we, the Twelve Palace Masters, are going on a long journey with Master."

"The Demon Palace will be handed over to you two to manage."

"Can you manage it well!"

Ji Wuchang and Bai Wuxia were overjoyed upon hearing this.

They never expected such a great Opportunity to fall upon them.

One must know that the current Demon Palace was no longer what it used to be.

It was no exaggeration to say that it was the strongest force in the Northern Region.

Under its command, it even had Heavenly God Mountain, a Transcendent Power that once dominated the Northern Region.

Yet, Chicken Lord actually let them temporarily govern the Demon Palace.

What an honor was this?

It could be said that with Chicken One's appointment, their status was instantly elevated to a new height.

They instantly reached the Peak of their lives!

"Thank you, Chicken Lord, for your trust. We will certainly not let you down."

Bai Wuxia and Ji Wuchang repeatedly kowtowed in thanks.

Their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Recalling the process of meeting Chicken One now, the two only felt that life was truly dreamlike and elusive.

Who would have thought that Chicken One, whom they initially regarded as a flood beast and a plague god, could bring them so many great Opportunities and fortunes one after another?

Not only did he greatly increase their own strength, but he also allowed them to manage power hundreds of times stronger than before.

This appointment made the other Demon Palace members envious and jealous.

But none of them dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

They could only lament Bai Wuxia and Ji Wuchang's good fortune, becoming the first forces subdued by the Twelve Palace Masters, and also becoming Chicken Lord's most trusted confidants.

They only regretted that fate played tricks on them.

Why wasn't their own force the first to be absorbed by Chicken Lord?

If so, this great Opportunity and fortune today might have fallen upon them.

It must be said that Chicken One's appointment was quite arbitrary.

He completely displayed favoritism to the fullest.

In general forces, this action is most taboo.

A slight carelessness can lead to dissatisfaction and disunity among people.

It might even lead to eventual disintegration.

But the Demon Palace had no such hidden dangers.

It can only be said that when strength reaches a certain level, one can do whatever they want.

Ji Wuchang and Bai Wuxia might not be the strongest in the Demon Palace.

But they were definitely the most trusted by Chicken One.

Simply because they were appointed by Chicken One.

Therefore, even if their abilities were not particularly outstanding, no one in the Demon Palace dared to disobey them.

No other reason than this: to disobey the two was to disobey Chicken One's command.

Disobeying the Palace Master's command, was this an attempt to rebel and seek death?

After Chicken One arranged for the Vice Palace Masters, he immediately came before Zhong Qing to report.

"Master, what needed to be arranged and explained is almost done."

Zhong Qing nodded.

He looked at Demon City with complex eyes.

The gains from this trip to Demon City were indeed significant.

He had risen from Three Yang First Realm all the way to Myriad Laws Realm Sixth Layer.

His strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

This was naturally gratifying.

But there were also vexing matters.

He never expected that his first time in this world would be lost like this.

And it was by a woman who reversed-raped him!

Moreover, he didn't know if it was an illusion.

He always felt that his belly had swelled slightly recently.

Between presence and absence, there seemed to be a breath of life brewing.

"Am I pregnant, for f*ck's sake?"

Zhong Qing felt this was quite absurd and outrageous.

A man getting pregnant could be considered a miracle of the ages.

In the end, he could only comfort himself, thinking he must be overthinking it.

Regardless of his past or present life, he had never heard of such an outrageous thing as a man getting pregnant.

At the same time, this also made him hate Fire Linger to the core.

This damned woman, not only did she reverse-rape him.

Afterward, she pulled up her pants and disappeared.

Leaving him with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent.

"I hope you can hide for a lifetime. If I ever find out your whereabouts, I will make you pay!"

Zhong Qing was indignant, and whenever he thought of Fire Linger, his mood became extremely irritable.

His mindset was once shattered to the point of breaking down.
