"I…"

"Don't be defiant. Tell me how much demonic power you're willing to scatter to nourish the little demon spirit?"

A few words were enough to leave Yu Na speechless.

Yes, how could I have forgotten?

Being the lord of this lake is no easy task; it requires one's own demonic power.

Those were all earned through hard work and cultivation, and now they're being distributed to nourish other lesser demons.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem worthwhile, but then you think about it...

The lake lord can absorb demonic power from the parents of little demon spirits.

In this back-and-forth, it's hard to say who will come out on the losing end.

"I'm willing to give up half of it."

The kite knew from its cunning appearance that it was dreaming.

"I absorb the demonic power of the little demon parents to refine magical artifacts to shield their child from demonic energy. Sometimes I even have to sacrifice some of my own power."

Naphtha...

"Actually, I don't really want to be the owner of the lake. Let's give it to Junhuai; he's more suitable."

Upon hearing this, all the spirits gave it a disdainful look.

To everyone's surprise, Junhuai still refused repeatedly.

It believed its old ailment was incurable and that it lacked the strength to lead the demons.

Ti Yuan gave it a reassuring look and waved towards the roof.

Qin Luo and Tengteng slid off the roof and were caught by small fish that swam by.

She was brought directly before the assembled spirits, as the Lake Lord had summoned her.

No one was surprised, after all, they had been outside the palace before.

They had all witnessed her special abilities, and Junhuai understood what Tiyuan meant.

It was somewhat excited and incoherent.

"This, she, me, the lake owner..."

Ti Yuan didn't explain anything to it, but instead walked up to Qin Luo.

Polite inquiry

"Qin Luo, would you be willing to help me heal an old friend? I will offer you my sawdust as payment."

Qin Luo hadn't planned to refuse anyway, and when she heard there was a reward...

He agreed even faster.

"Rest assured, Lord Lake, I will do my utmost to restore it to its original state."
