That night, Long Tian sat in the house, thinking about how to deal with his adopted sons who dared to openly violate the law.
When he first learned about this, Long Tian was extremely angry and wanted to kill them all.
However, after calming down for a few hours, he felt that this was not a good idea, because he had adopted those adopted sons in front of all the demons. If he killed them, it would be like slapping himself in the face, and his prestige among the demons would also decline.
Moreover, those adopted sons had fought bravely in many previous battles and made great contributions.
Executing them at this time would inevitably chill the hearts of those evil generals who led the troops to fight.
It may even lay hidden dangers and it is not impossible that it will provoke a mutiny in the future.
Long Tian’s combat power is strong. When fighting against strong men of the same level, he can fight against ten or even twenty of them at once. However, it is impossible for him to fight against thousands of demon soldiers and generals on his own.
If he loses the loyalty and support of his subordinates, he will no longer be the king who can lead the entire demon race.
After much deliberation, Long Tian decided not to kill those adopted sons who violated the laws of the demon clan, but to give them only symbolic punishment.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
Zhenzhen walked in from outside, closed the door gently, sat next to Long Tian, lowered her head, and said nothing.
Long Tian was a little puzzled. He looked at Zhenzhen's face carefully. He didn't see any obvious expression on her face, but he always felt that Zhenzhen was angry with him.
"Zhenzhen, why don't you speak?"
"I'm a hundred-year-old demon. How can I speak as pleasantly as a young girl in her twenties? You'd better let those lively young girls come in and talk to you. I won't say much, for fear that you'll dislike it."
When Long Tian heard this, he knew that Zhenzhen was definitely angry, and hurriedly explained: "What young girl? Zhenzhen, I have never done such a thing, don't think about it!"
"You haven't done it, but the same can't be said for those adopted sons you've adopted."
Long Tian frowned, knowing that his adopted sons must have done something stupid again, and he wanted to strangle them to death.
"Zhenzhen, just speak frankly. We are an old married couple. There is nothing to be shy about."
Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at Long Tian, her expression gradually relaxed, and she told him the whole story in detail from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Long Tian was furious and slammed the table, his face full of disappointment.
"These rebellious sons! They were so brave in the battles against humans before, but now, after winning so many battles, they've become so confused! What a bunch of bastards! I'm so disappointed!"
"They are confused, but you haven't been any better these days. They gave you beautiful women to please you, but why didn't they give you other things instead of beautiful women? Isn't it because you saw young and beautiful women a few times before and were so mesmerized that you couldn't walk!"
Only Zhenzhen dared to say this to Long Tian. Even if others knew it, they would not dare to say it out loud.
Long Tian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when Zhenzhen hit upon his secret thoughts.
"Well, Zhenzhen, they say everyone loves beauty. Aren't I also looking at it with admiration? It's like appreciating an antique or a piece of scenery. I'm just looking at it, not doing anything else!"
Zhenzhen snorted in annoyance: "I know you didn't do anything, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it until now."
Long Tian breathed a sigh of relief. His and Zhenzhen's relationship had evolved from simple mutual exploitation to a loving couple long before they even set foot on land.
Over the past hundred years, they have gone through countless ups and downs and witnessed countless vicissitudes of life. This kind of feeling has exceeded Long Tian's expectations and given his lonely heart a place to settle down.
On the Blue Planet, powerful demons often have many wives and concubines, making it almost impossible for them to be faithful to one person.
Long Tian was bewitched by other demon tribes more than once and had thought about taking a concubine, but when he thought that Zhenzhen would be sad and upset, he finally rejected it all.
For Long Tian, no other woman can compare to Zhenzhen. He can do without any other woman, but he cannot lose Zhenzhen.
"The demon tribe has won so many battles that all these demon soldiers and generals have floated into the sky. If they fall down one day, they will be smashed to pieces."
"Long Tian, no matter what decision you make, you are my husband and my only love. I will only support you, respect you, and accompany you to the end. But I still have to remind you that those who want to achieve great things must not be too soft-hearted."
Zhenzhen left, and Long Tian sat alone in the house, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, and a cold murderous intent brewed in his eyes.
The next day, Long Tian summoned all the people in the city and ordered the execution of all the adopted sons who openly violated the laws of the demon clan in front of all mortals.
When the adopted sons heard Long Tian's order, they were so frightened that their heads were stunned. They thought that Long Tian was just punishing them symbolically, but they didn't expect that he would execute them in public!
"Foster father! We have killed countless enemies on the battlefield for the demon race and have made great achievements. Are you going to kill us just because of a few civilians?"
Long Tian had no expression on his face, and uttered a cold word: "Behead!"
The knife flashed, blood splattered, and the head fell to the ground.
The adopted son's cultivation level was close to the foundation-building stage. Originally, the executioner could not kill him, but he still had hope until the last moment, thinking that Long Tian would not kill him, so he did not resist.
When the other adopted sons saw this scene, they felt as if struck by lightning, their hearts ached, and tears flowed uncontrollably from their eyes.
"Foster father, let us die on the battlefield. We don't want to die at the hands of our own people..."
Long Tian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
"cut!"
In an instant, several more adopted sons were executed by the executioner and died on the spot.
At this time, only the last adopted son was left. He cried heart-wrenchingly and kept banging his head on the ground, so that his hair was messy and his forehead was blood red.
"Foster father, I was originally a wandering orphan, and it was you who gave me a stable home. I have always regarded you as my own biological father, respecting and loving you, and never talking back at you. But this time, I feel you have done wrong. You have chilled the hearts of all of us demon soldiers who fought bloody battles for the demon race!
"I owe you too much in this life. If you want my life, I have nothing to say. But if there is an afterlife, you are you, I am me, we owe each other nothing, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
Long Tian slowly turned around, his eyes moist, and he didn't speak for a long time, but in the end, he still said the cold and ruthless word with difficulty.
"cut!"
This day is destined to be recorded in the history of the demon race.
Many years later, many people still talk about this terrifying day, and they admire but are also frightened by the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the Demon King Long Tian.
