After Mu Tiantian was brought back to the Demon God's Palace, before she even had a chance to wander around, Feng Ying threw her into the kitchen and demanded that she cook. He insisted that he eat well before he could help her find someone.
For the sake of the Seventh Unity, Mu Tiantian used all her skills, not only making cakes but also all sorts of desserts.
Phoenix ate happily, her only complaint being, "It's not sweet enough."
Mu Tiantian asked, "Do you like sweets?"
Feng Ying nodded.
Seeing his delighted expression as he ate the cake, and not at all as fierce as before, she chuckled and asked, "Demon Lord, can we help me find someone now?"
Feng Ying generously said, "What does your friend look like? I can find out for you the entire Demon Realm."
Mu Tiantian thought for a moment, "Could we bring all five demonic leopards over?"
"That's a low-level magical beast from the Scattered Demon Realm. Is your friend that?" Feng Ying asked in surprise.
"My friend... it must be something it likes to eat. I'm worried that it might eat my friend, so I wanted to ask." Mu Tiantian didn't know what the consequences would be if the system were eaten.
"No problem, I'll send someone to find all five demonic leopards in the entire Demon Realm for you right away. These pastries are good, go and make me another ten or so pounds, and make me another ten or eight cakes, in different flavors." Feng Ying finished them all in no time.
It has to be said, that's quite an appetite.
Mu Tiantian was also impressed, "Okay, but we might not have enough ingredients."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ying immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare enough ingredients for Mu Tiantian to make dozens of them.
However, she wasn't foolish enough to make all those cakes and pastries by herself; she would have been exhausted.
After teaching the cooks how to cook, she secretly ran out to investigate the Demon God Temple and search for information about the Seven Commanders.
Mu Tiantian tried calling out: 【Seven Commands?】
There was no response.
Logically speaking, they should be able to contact each other if they were in the same area, since they were able to contact each other even when they crossed realms before.
"Who are you?" A woman's voice suddenly rang out from behind Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian turned around and saw that the woman was beautiful and charming, and the surrounding area was filled with demonic energy, so she was obviously not a good person.
She explained with a pre-prepared reason, "I am the Demon Lord's new chef. I just came out for a stroll to see if there are any flowers or plants to make desserts for the Demon Lord."
Youjing looked at the familiar-looking woman with slight surprise, "With such huge waves at sea, you actually survived?"
maritime?
Mu Tiantian recognized her voice; it was that senior sister from the "Shadowless Sect" who had been lying.
"A newly hired chef?" Youjing looked her up and down, occasionally leaning closer to smell her. There was a faint scent of blood ginseng and a strong human spiritual energy, which was very tempting and made her mouth water.
The woman's face looked so smooth and delicate that Youjing couldn't help but swallow hard.
The more Mu Tiantian looked at her, the more as if she wanted to devour her, so she quickly backed away.
Youjing grabbed her arm. "If you can't eat it, at least you can lick it."
Once the idea popped into her head, Youjing actually did it.
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to struggle, she felt her arm being pulled by a strong force, while You Jing was knocked back ten meters by a beam of black light.
Youjing clutched her aching chest and looked up to see Fengying standing next to Mutian with an angry expression.
Feng Ying roared, "You Jing, have you gone too far? If I hadn't come, would you have eaten her?"
Youjing quickly explained, "Your Majesty, she smells so good. I just wanted to lick her. I really didn't want to eat her."
Feng Ying questioned, "Are you sure you can resist eating her after you've licked her once?"
Youjing blinked, pondered for a long time, and said uncertainly, "I should be able to hold back."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ying's expression visibly darkened.
"Your Majesty, she is the beautiful young lady I picked out for you before." Youjing quickly changed the subject. "She's quite pretty, isn't she? Take a good look at her. If you like her, marry her so you can get rid of this 100,000-year-old bachelor. Then I can report back to Lady Ghost Princess."
"You... Jing!" Feng Ying gritted his teeth, how dare he call him an old bachelor! "I think you don't want to live anymore!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than another black orb of light attacked her.
Youjing dodged the attack with a quick movement and breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she hadn't been hit.
Just as she was about to make a hasty retreat, Feng Ying called out to her, "Youjing, I have a question for you, where is that little divine beast?"
"Uh..." Youjing chuckled quietly, "It's lost..."
Upon hearing the key point, Mu Tiantian asked, "Are there any mythical beasts here?"
"Hmm," Feng Ying replied casually, glancing at her. "Shouldn't you be in the kitchen? What are you doing here?"
Mu Tiantian glanced at the dazzlingly beautiful flowers growing in the yard, picked one, and made an excuse, "I came to pick flowers to make you flower cakes, they're especially delicious."
Feng Ying glanced at her suspiciously, then casually looked in the quiet direction, only to find that the person had already disappeared.
"Come with me first." Feng Ying said, pulling Mu Tiantian into the main hall.
There were at least a hundred five-headed demonic leopards standing inside the hall.
Each black panther has five heads, which looks creepy.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on one of the black panthers, one of which had red fur stuck to its mouth.
Feng Ying took it down and smelled it. "These are the chick's feathers."
Mu Tiantian instinctively felt that this was the fur of the Seventh Bureau. In her haste, she tried to pry open the black panther's mouth. The black panther smelled the human scent, drooled, and bit her hand.
Fortunately, Mu Tiantian reacted quickly and pulled her hand back. The next moment, the black panther let out a scream.
With a wave of his hand, Feng Ying knocked out all the teeth from the black panther's mouth, which were still covered in blood.
"Get lost!" Phoenix Eagle roared, and hundreds of five-headed demonic leopards fled, except for the toothless demonic leopard.
He asked Mu Tiantian, "Do you want me to cut open its belly for you and take a look?"
The leopard seemed to understand his words and let out a wronged roar.
Mu Tiantian asked, "What did it say?"
"It said it didn't eat the chick, and that it picked up the red feather from the ground after entering the Demon God's Temple," the Phoenix Eagle questioned the five demonic leopards. "You're not lying?"
The five heads shook against each other.
At this moment, a demon guard rushed to the front hall, "It's terrible, Your Majesty! The Ten Demon Leopards have collapsed and can't get up, apparently because they ate something bad."
Mu Tiantian found it strange that there was another Ten-Headed Leopard; could it be a leopard with ten heads...?
When she followed Feng Ying to the rear hall where magical beasts were kept, she found that, just as she had expected, there was indeed a leopard with ten heads lying on the ground!
It was twice the size of the five-headed demonic leopard we had seen before.
Its beak was covered in red feathers, and blood was dripping from it.
Mu Tiantian was startled, but still held a glimmer of hope. "That little chick you're talking about, is there anything special about it? Has it said anything strange?"
The demon guard thought for a moment and replied, "What did you mean by system? And what about... I haven't given it over 10,000 points yet... It can't just die like this... And... I can't remember, anyway, it said a whole bunch of things that I didn't understand."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian's heart sank; she knew she was doomed.
"Serves you right. Who told you to eat it? You dared to eat a divine beast? You got beaten up." Feng Ying patted the Ten Demon Leopard's belly and breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, its belly didn't rupture. It seems that the little chick has already run away."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Feng Ying's arm, looking at him with hopeful eyes, "You said it ran away and wasn't eaten?"
Looking at her slightly moist eyes, Feng Ying couldn't help but feel a pang of pity, and her tone softened unconsciously. "Yes... it must be that the Ten Demon Leopard was injured by the divine power of the little divine beast after it swallowed it. These feathers only fell off due to the corrosive saliva of the Ten Demon Leopard, and it is not in any danger to its life."
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.
When Feng Ying saw her release her arm, he felt a little disappointed.
Mu Tiantian asked, "Where might it escape to?"
"There is a sea area nearby that connects to the Demon Realm. If it escapes, it is very likely to run towards the Demon Realm."
"Which direction is the Demon Realm?"
The phoenix pointed in the direction where the moon was setting, "If you head towards the moon, you'll reach the sea."
"Thank you." With that, Mu Tiantian turned to leave.
Feng Ying grabbed her by the back of the collar. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my friend."
"With me here, why would you need to go in person? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by other magical beasts?" Feng Ying pulled her back.
Mu Tiantian asked in confusion, "Didn't you have a contract that you wouldn't eat people?"
"But you are a Blood Demon Ginseng, not a human."
"Yes, yes, could the Demon Lord take me to the seaside?"
Looking at her playful expression, Feng Ying hesitated for a long time before saying, "No need. I will help you find your friend. You just stay in the Demon God Palace. Without my orders, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
“This won’t do…” No matter what Mu Tiantian said, Feng Ying ignored her.
For the next few days, Mu Tiantian practically lived in the kitchen because she was a picky eater. She didn't like food made by others and insisted on eating hers. The key was that they couldn't find any trace of Qi Tong and wouldn't let her go out.
Mu Tiantian was unhappy and threw the last bag of cookies she had made at him. "I'm telling you, Fengying, I'm quitting. Don't even think about making me make these weird snacks for you again. I'm leaving!"
Feng Ying was discussing important matters with someone when he heard that Mu Tiantian was leaving. He panicked but didn't know how to persuade her to stay. He subconsciously turned fierce and said, "My words are orders. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
At this moment, the man sitting opposite him, dressed in a blue robe, was slightly taken aback when he saw Mu Tiantian.
He smiled, his handsome lips curving upwards, his eyes slightly upturned, and asked Feng Ying with a narrowed gaze, "Don't tell me that the person you want to marry is her?"
Mu Tiantian only noticed the man sitting opposite Feng Ying when she heard the voice. His appearance was somewhat similar to Mu Qingxuan's.
This person might be Mu Qingmo, the younger brother of Mu Qingxuan, whom she had heard about from them, and Feng Ying's sworn brother.
Mu Tiantian looked him over carefully. He seemed much kinder and more approachable than Mu Qingxuan.
She looked at him for a while and suddenly felt that the man looked somewhat similar to her. They even shared the same surname, Mu. And since they went to such great lengths to find her, could they be her relatives?
But she was born in a mortal body, so how could she possibly have relatives who are gods?
Seeing Mu Tiantian staring at Mu Qingmo in a daze, Feng Ying felt a little jealous. He pulled her behind him, coughed, and said in a serious tone, "Yes, she is the one I'm going to marry. I've looked at her with the Soul-Capturing Mirror. She's a demon cultivated from a Blood Demon Ginseng. Demon and monster, isn't that good?"
Mu Tiantian's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Feng Ying. "What did you say?"
Feng Ying stood tall and looked down at her directly, saying, "I have decided to make you my Demon Queen. You don't need to be too happy."
Mu Tiantian found it funny. From the way he said it, it seemed like marrying her as the Demon Queen was something she should be very happy about.
For some reason, Mu Tiantian glared at him. "I'm really not happy. You didn't marry me to be your Demon Queen just so you could find a cook to prepare meals for you every day, did you? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
"You..." Feng Ying's temper flared up a bit after being rejected by her. "Of course I want to marry you. There are plenty of women outside who want to be my Demon Queen. How could you not be happy?"
"If that's really the case, then how come you've been single for 100,000 years?"
"That's because I don't think much of them." He wasn't lying.
But Mu Tiantian really couldn't stand his arrogant attitude, so she retorted, "I don't even look at you."
Feng Ying roared at her angrily, "Lin Sanshui!"
"I know the Demon Lord is angry and wants to get rid of me, right? I will definitely not be in your way." Mu Tiantian said and turned to leave.
Without wasting a moment, they ran as fast as they could, only to bump into a wall of flesh as soon as they reached the palace gate.
Looking up, he saw Feng Ying's eyes filled with anger. "You want to run away? You said that on purpose just to provoke me?"
Seeing that he seemed genuinely angry, Mu Tiantian's temples throbbed. Since a hard approach wasn't working, she decided to try a softer one. She gave a sheepish laugh, "My Lord Demon Lord, I really can't get used to living in your Demon God Palace. My friend is very important to me, extremely important. I can't live without it. If anything happens to it, I... I won't live anymore..."
As she finished speaking, her large, pearly tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling, making everyone feel sorry for her.
Upon seeing this, Feng Ying's heart immediately softened, but he absolutely could not let her out of his sight, so he relented and said, "I will personally take you out of the Demon God's Palace to find it."
Mu Tiantian paused in her sobs. In short, as long as she could leave the Demon God's Palace, she would have a chance to escape. She nodded, sobbing, and wiped away her tears.
Mu Qingmo took in all of this, a glint of light flashing in his bright black eyes.
The next day.
Feng Ying led Mu Tiantian out of the Demon God's Palace and searched along the coast, but he followed her closely, afraid that she would run away.
He suddenly felt that going out of the palace to walk with her wasn't so bad, the only downside was that it would leave him with a tail.
Feng Ying turned to look at Mu Qingmo, who had followed them, and said, "Qingmo, why aren't you looking for someone? What are you doing following us? I've already told you she's not the person you're looking for, and your older brother has confirmed that she isn't."
Mu Qingmo maintained a faint smile throughout, "We're brothers, why are you trying to kick me out?"
Feng Ying curled his lips, "Brothers? Who knew you lied to me and said you were a year older than me, and that you were the eldest brother when we became sworn brothers? I never imagined you were actually Sister Xiang's son. According to seniority, you should call me uncle."
Mu Tiantian genuinely felt that with his personality, he didn't seem like a 100,000-year-old demon lord at all; he was more like a child.
At this moment, she spotted a tuft of red hair on the shore and realized that as long as Qitong hadn't been eaten by the monster, he must have crossed the sea.
Mu Tiantian began to plan how to escape.
...
On the other side of the sea.
Sunlight shone on the beach, where a chick, almost entirely bald, lay on the shore, letting out a long sigh of relief. "Finally escaped. That demonic realm is no place for humans."
Suddenly, Qi Tong was lifted up by the back of his neck, and a man appeared in front of him.
Its eyes widened, and it couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Feng Lin?"
The man raised a sharp eyebrow, slightly surprised. "You know me?"
