After the emperor shattered Jiaolong's confidence, he became extremely depressed. Although what he had done was not widely known, it was an open secret among the court officials and the various celestial masters.
Although the emperor, a man who enjoys himself, doesn't care, he's too proud to leave the capital, a place of heartbreak, and instead goes out to randomly pick a lucky monster to beat up to vent his anger. And that beating actually makes him famous in the monster world.
Before he became the leader of the demon race, Yu Ling also carried out side quests and searched for red-named monsters everywhere. It was inevitable that she would run into this guy when fighting red-named monsters.
Thus, the striking contrast between the fox demon Yu Ling's stunning beauty and her formidable fighting prowess deeply intimidated the dragon.
He felt that the goals he had set were too impulsive.
It turns out that even among monsters, I am not the strongest. What was I thinking back then, setting such a lofty goal as becoming an emperor!
"Oh, Prime Minister, it's been a long time. Why are you so tired?"
The fox demon Yu Ling had a python that had been beaten back to its original form under her feet. She dealt with it in a few quick moves, skewered it with a stick, and put it away, ready for a barbecue in the wild.
Surprisingly, the yak monster from last time was quite delicious, which inspired Yu Ling to explore new recipes. Who says monsters only eat human hearts? Other monsters are quite tasty too.
"You are... that fox demon by the Emperor's side?" The dragon was surprised that the other party was so free. He thought that Yu Ling was the kind of beauty that the Emperor captured to admire. Well, although this beauty was powerful.
Yu Ling glanced at the progress chart; there were still about ten red-named monsters left. Having finally made it on this long trip, he was thinking of dealing with as many as possible before returning. At that moment, the more he looked at the dragon, the more it seemed like a cheap underling he could use as a helper, so he said:
"It's me. His Majesty was curious about how your work on dealing with the monsters was going, so he sent me out to take a look."
Yu Ling is clearly using deception to fool the demons, but the demons won't go to the palace to verify it, will they?
As for why he didn't use the original owner of the Celestial Master's face to fight monsters, it's because he's been spending his time in the mountains and forests catching monsters in the wild. When he's far away from humans, he still prefers to act in the body of a monster.
"That's...almost done." Was a supervisor being assigned to him? The dragon's brow furrowed. It seemed his slacking off had been guessed; the emperor was truly terrifying!
Mermaids and dragons likely share some skills. The fox demon Yu Ling tricked her new follower into doing chores, then led him to fight water-type red-name monsters near the water area. On the surface, she was helping, but in reality, she was finishing off the monsters to complete her quest, making the image of the dragon increasingly ferocious among monsters.
As the days passed, Yu Ling used the dragon and then discarded it. The dragon had also established a certain prestige among the demons, making the next step easy to complete. In addition, the system fox was urging her to hurry, so she rushed to the palace.
"Host, help! This emperor is torturing the system to death!!!" The system's fox tail is almost bald, and it's unknown what terrible things it has suffered.
Yuling:..........
"What did the emperor do this time?"
"He...he...he made me do acrobatics and jump through hoops of fire!!!" The system fox was almost crying. Seeing its host return, it threw its body into its storage space and went back to its system space.
Jumping through hoops of fire? That's pretty cool!
"Alright, he provides meals and pays you, what a great sucker. You can't even count on him for two days." Yu Ling transformed into a little fox and lay back down where the system had been.
The wild monsters have been mostly cleared out. Yu Ling has scouted the locations with the system notifications. The only remaining monsters are a few red-named monsters hidden in various cities.
Sigh, where can I find a new underling?
At this moment, the emperor had already continued his daily pet-playing routine. He looked at the tuft of white fur on the fox Yu Ling's head, his smile gradually deepening, and he hugged the fox tightly in his arms.
"You've worked hard these past few days. Would you like to attend court with me today?"
Yu Ling was completely confused, but she nodded nonetheless. After fighting monsters for so long and traveling all the way, she was really tired. Watching the emperor go to court and argue with people would be a good way to lift her spirits.
The system exploded again: [What's going on? He's torturing me! Why didn't he take me to court?!]
Yu Ling ignored the system, attended a court assembly, and then fell asleep in the emperor's arms. After resting in the palace for a few days, the emperor doted on her immensely. He didn't even let Yu Ling perform acrobatics, let alone let her paws touch the ground.
The system didn't understand why they were treated so differently when they were both foxes. It then suggested switching identities with Yu Ling, since its own host also needed to continue doing missions.
“Okay,” Yu Ling said.
This time, she went to towns and other human settlements, so she used the original owner's body as a celestial master and also recruited a lazy imperial advisor. After Shen Qingyun learned that the emperor was hiding his strength, she found that he had no use for anything, so she followed Yu Ling.
"Miss Du, I never thought we'd be fighting side by side one day." Shen Qingyun's face was full of nonchalance, showing utter disdain for the monster Yu Ling had mentioned.
However, the red-named monster was indeed a powerful demon, and he couldn't defeat it alone. Yu Ling, on the other hand, had a lot more ease with someone helping her. She preferred to take the easy way out rather than work hard on the task herself.
However, the system fox, far away in the palace, cried out: "[Save me! Save me, host! Come back quickly!]"
This time, the emperor didn't let the system perform acrobatics; instead, he sent the system, a fox, to fight! Dogs!
The system is rubbish after all. It can only rely on the fact that it was produced by the main god and its own data algorithm to hide in panic. Tears of sorrow flowed like a river. Why is it so miserable to be a substitute?
Will the emperor find out that it and its host are working in shifts?
As usual, Yu Ling squeezed the Grand Preceptor dry and then slipped away. She got angry at the system fox's spineless attitude and sent the system off to play with the dragon. Anyway, she had already completed the side quests and could follow the emperor, this sucker, for a long time.
In fact, the emperor quickly discovered that the white fur was the fox's true form. He could accurately distinguish between the two by bullying the system to force Yu Ling to come out. This time, Yu Ling did not let the system take over, and that's when the emperor started to have his own ideas.
"Um, I want to see what you look like in human form."
Yu Ling glanced at her backpack. She had bought some spiritual water, drunk one bottle herself, and given the other bottle to the dragon as a reward. She had clothes to wear, and only a few Transformation Pills left. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, she decided to satisfy the other party.
The beauty in red reappeared, her fox-demon allure blurring her gender. Her captivating eyes, fixed on the emperor, were enough to make one yearn for more…
The emperor was a normal human male, and it was difficult for him to resist the temptation of beauty. Moreover, he considered himself extraordinary, and his harem was empty. So what if he finally found someone who could match him, even if she was a monster?
The pairing of a fox spirit and an emperor has a long history, and Yu Ling accepts it well. From then on, the warm embrace of the emperor is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
