"That is..." The Butterfly King flapped its wings, its breath catching in its throat as it watched the playing Qilin egg, afraid of scaring the little guy.

The queen ant didn't make a sound at all, lying motionless by the pool.

The Qilin egg was small, and its surface radiated a lustrous glow. The peaceful and tranquil spiritual energy calmed the minds of both demons considerably.

"It's a real Qilin egg. Heaven hasn't abandoned us."

The Eagle King and the Flood Dragon, who arrived later, were full of vigor, unlike the Butterfly King and the Ant Queen who were more reserved. As a result, the little Qilin noticed them.

The little Qilin seemed startled and sank down instantly. After a while, it quietly poked its head out and stood close to Song Xia.

"Old Bai, you didn't lie to us." Xiong Ba, who arrived last, laughed heartily, only to be splashed with water by the little Qilin.

He wiped his face and looked at the Qilin egg as if it were a precious treasure, even more valuable than any treasure.

"Don't be afraid, the old bear won't hurt you. Just grow up and hatch."

"He seems to really like this vine."

“Yes, I’ve been here a few times, but he never showed up. This time, as soon as I brought Song Xia, he came out.”

Is there anything special about this little vine?

Bai Xiao continued to explain, "She got here all by herself."

This statement drew the attention of all the demon kings to Song Xia. It was just an ordinary demon vine with a relatively low cultivation level, yet it had managed to get here, which showed it did have some skill.

"Since the little Qilin likes this little demon, he can take better care of her in the future," the Overlord Flower said admiringly to Song Xia. "Is that half-demon outside her son?"

"Hmm." Bai Xiao didn't expect that Ba Wang Hua would actually notice Song Luo.

"That kid is good too."

The dragon spat out black tongue: "A half-demon, yet he is brave."

The wolf king was the most silent after entering. He naturally thought of his kick, which forced Song Xia to come here to heal. However, he didn't seem to have used much demonic power. How could this little vine demon not be able to withstand it?

After a long silence, he then produced a number of rare and precious treasures beside Song Xia.

The demons were taken aback by his actions, then gritted their teeth and sneered. The wolf king was quite cunning; he knew to start currying favor now.

So one by one, they showed off their treasured collections.

Xiong Ba gave him royal jelly, which can instantly increase spiritual energy when eaten and has many health benefits if consumed for a long time. It is said to nourish the meridians. If it were taken to the human race, even a small amount would cause a fight. It would be perfect for the little half-demon outside. Although the wolf king is cunning, he is not as thorough as Xiong Ba.

The queen ant poured out a lot of spirit stones and spirit ores. Her clan had lived underground for a long time, and probably no one had more abundant mineral resources than her.

The most direct benefit from a dragon is its shed scales. If these scales are made into robes or weapons, they would undoubtedly be the best choice. Wearing them would eliminate most of the poisons in the cultivation world.

The Eagle King snorted coldly and threw down several cultivators' spatial rings and storage bags, all of which he had obtained from humans and contained many valuable items.

The other butterfly kings, queen flowers, and so on were not to be outdone. Before long, the small pond was piled high with treasures that could drive all the demons and humans crazy. Any one of them could cause a sensation.

The wolf king was baffled; why were these guys bringing out so much?

He injured Song Xia out of guilt, but what was their reason?

Bai Xiao watched this scene with a twitch in his mouth. He probably knew what the Wolf King was thinking and understood the plans of these guys. Anyway, these old guys didn't lack anything, so giving it to Song Xia would be fine.

The little Qilin likes Song Xia so much, it must need a lot of spiritual items after it is born, so it seems that he should send more in the future.

The sleeping Song Xia was unaware that she already possessed a treasure that made the entire Qingyang Continent envious.

Having confirmed the news of the little Qilin, the demon kings made new plans.

"First of all, this matter must not be known to the human race. If they discover the existence of the little Qilin, they will definitely do everything in their power to seize it."

"Then starting today, we will leave at least one demon to guard the area every day."

"The other races also need to speed up their cultivation and training, because we will definitely have a great war with the human race in the future."

The tyrant said angrily, "Let them ascend to immortality, why do they have to target the Qilin? Humans are already favored enough by the Heavenly Dao, how can they still be so vicious?"

"If there's a shortcut, who would be willing to work hard and study diligently?"

Speaking of humans, the demon race is furious. They used to think about living in harmony, but humans would skin them and pull out their tendons to make magical artifacts. They would pick spiritual herbs and flowers without paying attention to the seedlings. Some even had malicious intentions and would burn them to prevent others from getting them.

Over the years, countless demons have died at the hands of humans. Since it's a world of survival of the fittest, why do you label the demons as demons when they fight back? Why do you insist on saying that demons are inferior?

Especially those who were captured and raised as spirit pets from a young age, if they encountered a kind-hearted human, they would be fine, with no worries about food and drink. But if they encountered a wicked human, being beaten and scolded would be a minor matter. In critical moments, they would even have to let the demon beasts come out to shield them from fatal damage. Over the years, countless demon beasts have died at the hands of humans.

This is how they treat the demon race, yet they still try to beautify themselves by claiming that the demon race's life in the wild is cruel, and that they are giving the demon race a chance to survive.

Ha, do demons need your pity? Without you, demons would be better off.

Isn't competition among members of the same species normal? The environment needs to be balanced for survival, so naturally only those who are more adapted to the environment will survive. Otherwise, all resources will be exhausted, and no one will be able to live.

You humans are full of talk about benevolence and morality, but in a war, the damage you suffer is more than a hundred times worse than that of the demon race.

Realizing that the birth of the little Qilin was a blessing for the demon race, but also a disaster caused by human greed, all the demon kings became nervous. Sunset Forest could not afford another battle like that, and they had a vague premonition that if the little Qilin died again, the entire Qingyang Continent would truly never see a Qilin again.

The White Tiger was used to being alone and had never wanted to take on heavy responsibilities, so now that the Tiger Clan was no longer under his control, he waited here while the other demon kings went to make preparations.

Within three days, the atmosphere in Sunset Forest became tense. Previously, humans were allowed to enter the outer perimeter of Sunset Forest, but now stricter controls have been implemented. Humans are attacked on sight, causing panic among the border humans.

Everyone was speculating about why, and some sects even stepped forward to negotiate, but the demon race only said one thing: the human race's excessive exploitation was threatening the survival of the demon race. From this day forward, Sunset Forest will enter a protection phase, and no one is allowed to trespass without permission.

Humanity is in an uproar. How many cultivation resources are obtained from Sunset Forest? If they can't enter, what will happen to everyone's cultivation? Where will they get the raw materials for many pills and spiritual weapons?

A powerful figure sneered, "Sunset Forest isn't the territory of the demon race. They're being incredibly presumptuous. They think they're human just because we've given them a little leeway? I'll go and see what they're made of."
