Mu Wenxi was overjoyed. She summoned a servant to bring clean clothes for Xie Qi to change into.
"Xie Qi, I'm so happy. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I was so worried when you were poisoned. Even after you were cured, I was still afraid you would get hurt. Although you are still quite skilled in martial arts, I'm still worried."
Xie Qi's eyes were only on the other person: "Demon Lord, I'm also very happy. Thank you. If it weren't for you, my poison wouldn't have been cured, and I wouldn't have known about my past. I never thought you would go to such a dangerous place as Wolf Chasing Mountain for me. I thought..."
Mu Wenxi: "What do you think?"
Xie Qi: "I thought you would abandon me like everyone else. I don't know how to repay you."
Mu Wenxi said, seemingly jokingly, "Then repay me with your body."
Xie Qi: "Okay, I can accept it if it's the Demon Lord."
"Why can't others do it?"
"Yes, only you can."
"good".
Since Mu Wenxi proposed to Xie Qi, their relationship has become even closer. Xie Qi is very clingy and follows Mu Wenxi wherever he goes, as if he is afraid that the other party will leave him behind.
He would even accompany Mu Wenxi when she went to handle government affairs. While she handled government affairs, he would cultivate his martial arts on the side. Mu Wenxi knew that he was very insecure, so she let him go.
On this day, the Demon Lord announced a major event in the main hall.
"I intend to make Xie Qi my empress. What are your thoughts, Demon Lords and Demon Generals?"
One of the demon generals thought he had misheard, but seeing the expressions of the others, who were all equally shocked, he pondered for a moment before stepping forward: "Demon Lord, absolutely not! Xie Qi is a beastman, how could she possibly become our Demon Queen?"
Upon seeing someone speak up, another demon general could no longer hold back: "Demon Lord, please reconsider! How can Xie Qi, of such lowly status, be worthy of being the Demon Queen?"
"Of lowly status?" Mu Wenxi crushed the teacup in his hand as he was drinking tea. The two demon generals who had spoken earlier looked at each other, exchanged a glance, and then lowered their heads.
Uesugi Demon Lord had a different opinion. He glanced at the two demon generals and retorted, "Why not? So what if they are beastmen? Once they gain intelligence and take human form, how are they different from us?"
Although the Calm Demon Lord was a bit impatient, he was indeed quite capable in political affairs: "Demon Lord, I believe that this is the first beastman demon queen in the Demon Realm, which can strengthen the connection between demon beasts and demons. Moreover, as long as they truly love each other, they can transcend races."
Suddenly, Demon Lord Po Jun also stepped forward: "Several Demon Lords and Demon Generals did not go to Zhulang Mountain with us, but I went with them. Along the way, I saw that the Demon Lord was truly in love with Xie Qi. Moreover, Xie Qi was saved by the ferocious beasts of Zhulang Mountain, so he must have something special about him. I support the Demon Lord in marrying Young Master Xie Qi."
After a few seconds of silence, Mu Wenxi said, "Well said, reward him." It was actually a good thing that no one else knew Xie Qi's background on Zhulang Mountain.
Jingxin Demon Lord, Shangshan Demon Lord, and Pojun Demon Lord: "Thank you, Demon Lord."
Mu Wenxi unfolded the memorial: "How's the matter I asked you to handle regarding improving the treatment of orcs?"
All the demon lords and demon generals: "Everything has been done."
"Alright, what are your thoughts on the Demon Queen's Ceremony?"
The Demon Lord and Demon Generals spoke frankly, and Mu Wenxi selected and adopted some of their suggestions.
After a while, she got a little tired and flicked her sleeves, saying, "Let's call it a day."
After leaving the palace, Mu Wenxi thought to himself that Xie Qi must be playing somewhere all by himself.
Where is Xie Qi?
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the Demon Queen is in Changming Palace."
Sure enough, when Mu Wenxi found Xie Qi, the other party was playing Gomoku by himself.
Mu Wenxi looked at Xie Qi gently, who was resting his chin on his hand: "I will have my subordinates begin preparations for the Empress's investiture ceremony. What are your thoughts?"
Xie Qi touched his ear: "Are you really not going to regret it? Wasn't it too fast?"
Mu Wenxi: "I don't regret it. You can choose the date. If you think it's too soon, we can set it a little later, how about that?"
Xie Qi stared at the chessboard, too embarrassed to look at Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Mu Wenxi: "Would you like to see your demon realm?"
Xie Qi nodded: "Mine?"
"Yes, ours."
Xie Qi said nostalgically, "When I escaped before, I went to some places, and I want to see other places too."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Mu Wenxi summoned Uesugi Demon Lord and asked him to prepare travel expenses and items for the journey, as she wanted to go to the Demon Realm with Xie Qi.
"Remember, we need a horse-drawn carriage, not a beast-drawn carriage."
Uesugi Demon Lord: "Demon Lord, shouldn't we hold the coronation ceremony first before we go?"
Mu Wenxi: "Let's go now and come back after the ceremony. But I don't care whether it happens or not, remember, Xie Qi and Xie Shanzhi will always be the only Demon Queen."
Uesugi Demon Lord's eyes narrowed, not expecting the Demon Lord to be so deeply in love: "Yes, your subordinate will go and prepare immediately."
Soon, news of the Demon Lord's plan to establish a Demon Queen spread throughout the entire Demon Palace.
When Granny Chen heard the news, she seemed to realize something. She felt that the name sounded very familiar. She picked up the previous booklet and saw that Xie Shanzhi was the handyman she had not seen before.
Fortunately, he didn't come to do the actual menial work, otherwise she probably would have had her head cut off. Granny Chen patted her chest and sighed at the different fates of everyone.
When Mu Wenxi and Xie Qi left, they brought a group of people and several demon lords to protect them. In fact, she just wanted to go out and have some fun by herself, but her subordinates insisted on following them, fearing that they might encounter danger on the way.
Unfortunately, Mu Wenxi could only allow a few people to follow, but Xie Qi did not want to see the burly demon general from before.
The demon general and Xie Qi stared at each other, the demon general somewhat incredulous, pointing at Xie Qi: "You, you, you..."
Just as he was about to speak, Uesugi Demon Lord slapped his hand, and he immediately shut up when he realized something was wrong.
The burly demon general wasn't particularly skilled in martial arts and wasn't among the people who went up to Chasing Wolves Mountain, so he didn't know before that Xie Qi was the Demon Queen who had recently caused such a stir in the Demon Palace.
Xie Qi naturally recognized the burly demon general, smiled, and got into the carriage with Mu Wenxi's help.
The burly demon general seemed to be thinking about something. After a long pause, he suddenly straightened his head and puffed out his chest, feeling rather proud. He was glad that he hadn't let Xie Qi escape back then, otherwise they probably wouldn't have had a demon queen.
In a small corner in the distance, Xiao He's eyes darkened as he looked at the group of people. Now that his brother had been released from prison, he only needed to take good care of his family.
The main force began to march.
The news that the Demon Lord was finally going to have a Demon Queen quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Realm. It was said that the Demon Queen was actually an orc.
The demon realm was abuzz with discussion, with people whispering amongst themselves.
Demon male: "Orcs? No way."
Another orc: "What's wrong with the orcs?"
Male demon: "The difference is too great. Would the Demon Lord really fall in love with a lowly beastman who has transformed from a demon beast?"
The orc said, "You don't understand. Love knows no race."
