At dawn, an army marched out from the streets of the demon realm, heading towards the demon king's palace.

Inside the palace, Qingcheng was eating breakfast prepared for him by Hongyan Shenjun while assigning tasks to the army. Holding a long sword, he said, "Fortunately, Yue Jiunian sent back a message saying that Tanlang has not yet gone to the border city, otherwise Qiyou would probably have already begun his revenge."

Standing opposite Qingcheng was a lynx demon, who was the general leading the troops this time. He took the long sword from Qingcheng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you don't really need to worry so much about Qiyou. He is, after all, the leader of a clan. He can't be that weak."

"Oh, General, you don't understand. Qi You is just too arrogant. Tan Lang isn't alone this time; he has a two-headed water dragon by his side, and this time they're in a border city, which is no good place at all."

When Qingcheng mentioned Qiyou, his mood immediately soured again, as he was quite worried about Qiyou's safety.

"Alright, I wasn't planning to send troops into the border city, but now I have no choice. Go in in batches, and remember not to expose yourselves easily."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's instructions, the lynx demon naturally knew what to do. He immediately bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, Your subordinate understands!"

After the army set off, Lord Hongyan, who had been behind the scenes, reappeared. He looked at Qingcheng with a hint of jealousy and said, "Little Qingcheng, didn't you say you wouldn't care about Qiyou anymore? Why did you send people to help him again?"

Last time, because of Qiyou, Qingcheng was angry for a whole day. She even said in a fit of pique that she would never care about Qiyou again and let him fend for himself. But unexpectedly, not long after, Qingcheng sent troops to reinforce Qiyou again.

"Hehe~ Well~"

When Qingcheng was asked this by Hongyan Shenjun, he felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "Emmm, what I said back then was just some angry words. Besides, Qiyou and I have such a good relationship, how could I really not care about him?"

As Qingcheng was speaking, he sensed that Hongyan Shenjun's expression had changed again, and immediately knew that he was jealous. So he turned to him and said, "Hey~ what are you doing now? Don't be jealous! I'm telling you, if you get jealous again, I won't talk to you anymore~"

Lord Hongyan was indeed jealous, but after hearing Qingcheng's words, his expression suddenly changed. He chuckled and said, "Qingcheng, how can I not be jealous when you're like this? Unless you kiss me, I'll really get angry~"

"You—" Upon hearing this, Qingcheng's face instantly turned red. He turned his head away, refusing to look at Hongyan Divine Lord, and angrily and shamefully scolded, "How dare you! I am, after all, a demon king. How can you speak to me like that?!"

"So, are you going to kiss me or not? I like you so much, I love you so much, and this is how you treat me? Oh, my heart aches so much!"

Not only did Lord Hongyan act like a rogue, but he also started putting on an act.

Seeing him like this, Qingcheng felt it wasn't fair to him, since he was indeed more concerned about Qiyou than him right now. So she moved closer to him and said shyly, "Hey, just for a second~"

In the end, Qingcheng still 'endured humiliation' and kissed Hongyan Shenjun, but after he finished kissing him, he was hugged and kissed back.

At noon, Yue Jiujie appeared in the demon realm, but she was a little confused looking at the streets filled with demon mountains and seas, because she suddenly felt that her mission this time was much more difficult than usual.

"Tsk, the demonic energy here is so strong, how am I supposed to find my true form?"

Yue Jiujie felt a terrible headache. The demon realm was filled with demonic energy. It was too difficult for her to find her true body here. After being missing for so long, the demonic energy on her body must have been very faint. Unless she was very close, she wouldn't be able to tell where her true body was. So she felt that it would be too difficult to find a true body with such a weak aura in the demon realm.

"Sigh~ Jiuling is really something, how am I supposed to find it? We don't even have a direction right now, but we can't just not look for it. Tsk, if only the real body could come out on its own."

Yue Jiujie wandered around the streets, trying to sense the true form, but in the end, no matter how he tried, he couldn't sense it. He could only sense a bunch of messy demonic energy flying around in mid-air.

"Oh my god! What do we do? Should I ask Qingcheng for help?"

Yue Jiujie originally planned to ask Qingcheng for help, but she learned from Yue Jiunian that Qiyou had actually run off to the border city. Qingcheng was probably worried about Qiyou and didn't have time to care about her, so she decided not to bother Qingcheng.

"Alright then~ In that case, I might as well go look for Ah Qing~"

Yue Jiujie suddenly realized that there was someone else who might be able to help her, so she headed in one direction.

In the brothel of the demon realm, Xunhuan Pavilion, Ah Qing was doing the accounts. She was especially happy to hear the laughter and chatter outside the room, because it proved that she had earned more money today.

"Sister Qing, Sister Qing~"

Suddenly, a young maidservant burst into her tent and shouted, "Sister Qing, someone is looking for you outside!"

Ah Qing was handling a handful of gold bars, one by one. She rolled her eyes at the loud, shouting girl and said, "Who's looking for me? I'm not seeing anyone! Can't you see I'm doing accounts? Why are you seeing guests? Let someone else handle it."
