Lianrong selectively forgot that she had already vomited up the entire meal, including the principal and interest.
The worms were crawling around inside her stomach; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have succeeded.
However, the Black Bird's stomach can digest even spirit stones into a ball of spiritual liquid. The fact that this little worm could force her to feel nauseous already shows that it is quite formidable.
If it weren't for this consideration, Li Jinchu wouldn't have been in such a hurry to turn back and find out what this Gu worm was.
Just as Lianrong was still squatting there, pondering to herself, Jimo Fan suddenly stood up.
"Huh? Master..." Lianrong was about to ask him if he had thought of something.
However, the contract with Ji Mofan, which allowed her to understand each other to some extent, gave her an unexplained premonition of something not good.
Sure enough, before he could react, Ji Mofan stepped out of their shelter.
He even removed his disguise and stood openly under the main city gate, looking up at the demon soldiers stationed there.
"The generals are having a meeting in the main city. All bystanders, leave immediately, or you will be killed!" The demon soldier didn't even glance at Ji Mofan standing below, and casually pointed his spear at the city gate tower.
Ji Mo Fan just saw something hanging there.
It was a human head, so decomposed that the facial features were no longer recognizable. It was clearly the head of the guy who had insisted on breaking in despite the guards' attempts to stop him. He was being used as a warning to others who might try to break in.
“I’m not here to cause trouble.” Ji Mofan’s gaze lingered for a moment before shifting away. “Go tell your demon generals who are in a meeting that your Empress has returned.”
The demon soldier, who had been nonchalant, suddenly jolted awake after hearing Ji Mofan's words.
What did this little brat say? "Empress?" It was the word "Empress," he must have heard that right!
Incredulous gazes swept back and forth between the people below the city walls and their brothers standing on the city walls alongside them. The demon soldier read the same incredulous light in their eyes.
None of them had noticed before.
But now, upon closer inspection... Wow! Isn't this the same Ji Mo Fan who, for no apparent reason, decided to marry the righteous prodigy who would become the Demon Queen, and who later turned the Demon Realm upside down?
A few months ago, Ji Mofan might not have been so well-known in the Demon Realm, but after that failed Dao Couple Ceremony, his fame in the entire Demon Realm was almost as high as Xiao Wangyan's.
The demonic cultivators might not have a high opinion of him as a person, but the Venerable One who had ruled them for over a thousand years was willing to lower himself and indulge in his antics...
The demon soldier felt he needed to weigh the weight of this kid in the eyes of the generals.
His eyes darted around a few times, then he stomped his foot in determination. "Wait! I'll go inform them!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already hurriedly run down the city wall.
There were several other demon soldiers on duty with him, but they couldn't care less about their defenses at the moment, and all of them were looking at Ji Mofan.
They exchanged glances several times, their eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and gossip.
What's going on? After causing such a huge incident, they disappeared without a trace, and now they're making a wild comeback in the eye of the storm?
No wonder she was chosen as the Daoist partner by His Excellency.
His style of doing things is exactly the same as his.
And just as they were hesitating, a little one suddenly slipped out from the woods nearby.
The demon soldiers guarding the city stared wide-eyed.
What's going on? Where did this little brat come from?!
None of them sensed anyone's presence from that direction just now!
That said, there was still no spiritual energy fluctuation on Ji Mofan's body...
So what's going on with that child?
The Queen and the Emperor's child is already this big!
"Where did you come from, kid?!" Just like the demon soldiers on the city wall, the first demon general to rush to Ji Mo Fan's side was still that fire-attribute, impatient one.
Ji Mo Fan still doesn't know what this hothead's name is.
"Yu Ji, are you going to eat him?" Wu Qi was the one who caught up from behind a few steps behind.
The demon general called Yu Ji had wide eyes and a big mouth. He looked at Wu Qi, pointed at Ji Mo Fan, and then at Lian Rong beside him, and said, "Aren't you going to let out a scream to show your surprise?"
"You little brat, you actually dare to come back!" He said to Wu Qi, then turned and poked Ji Mo Fan's forehead with a finger. "I haven't finished settling scores from last time!"
Ji Mo Fan ducked and dodged.
In fact, given his current state, under normal circumstances, he really wouldn't have been able to avoid it.
But now Yu Ji is followed by Wu Qi.
Wu Qi twirled the halberd in his hand, hooked it around Yu Ji's waist belt, and pulled him backward sharply.
Not only did they pull Yu Ji's outstretched hand askew, but they also cut off most of his waistband.
Her clothes instantly came undone, forcing Yu Ji to frantically cover herself, leaving her no time to bother Ji Mofan.
Wu Qi also looked at Ji Mofan and Lian Rong beside him.
"This is the child you and Your Majesty had in one night?" He pointed to Lianrong, who looked like an ordinary human child.
Ji Mofan closed his eyes briefly. "...No."
How should he answer? Neither yes nor no is a good thing.
However, all things considered, it's definitely better to say no.
Who doesn't carry a child for ten months? Whose child grows up to look four or five years old immediately after birth?
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi's eyes surprisingly showed a subtle surprise.
Ji Mofan had no idea what he was surprised about.
Going back five or six years, although fifteen or sixteen is the age when mortals can have children, such a big child would indeed be a generation younger than him, and there are indeed some unfounded rumors about secret methods that can make men have children... The problem is that at that time, the Demon Lord was completely unrelated to him.
Wu Qi didn't have many thoughts about whether it was possible or impossible.
Their leader is a man with too many tricks up his sleeve and has done far too many outrageous things.
It's not impossible for him to give birth to a daughter overnight. He even thinks it's possible that one day the Venerable One will come back and tell him that this child was not born to Ji Mo Fan, the Demon Queen, but to him.
However, upon closer inspection of the little girl's features, he noticed her large, bright, and round eyes, small nose and mouth, and rounder face. He realized that the child bore no resemblance to the Venerable One whatsoever.
He bears a resemblance to Ji Mofan in some way, but Wu Qi can't quite put his finger on what makes him so similar.
Banishing the thoughts from his mind, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Mofan again, "This is not the place to talk, let's go inside."
