Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, picked her ear with her little finger, and glanced at the middle-aged demon cultivator.
She asked uncertainly, "What did you just say? I didn't quite hear it."
"laugh--!"
Yan Xishan, my deskmate, made a mocking sound in his throat.
He seemed to find it extremely ridiculous, with a gloating expression in his eyes.
This evil cultivator is trying to poach people right in front of Xie Lanzhi. He must be fed up with living like that!
The middle-aged demon cultivator was a little angry and raised his chin, saying proudly: "All outstanding women in the demon world must participate in the Demon Lord's selection, you must go!"
Qin Shu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
She touched Xie Lanzhi, who had been silent the whole time, with her arm.
"Brother Lan, this guy wants me to participate in the talent show, what do you think?"
Xie Lanzhi paused holding the wine glass, brought the wine to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.
With his slender, bony fingers, he slowly lifted the hat on his head.
The pair of golden, domineering and beautiful dragon horns appeared in everyone's sight.
"Dragon clan!"
"It's actually the Golden Dragon Clan!"
"Why did the dragons appear in the demon world?"
The restaurant hall fell into a brief silence, and soon excited exclamations were heard.
They didn't pay any attention to Xie Lanzhi's stunning appearance. Their eyes were shining as they stared in reverence at the pair of sacred dragon horns on his head.
Xie Lanzhi slowly raised his eyelids, his golden vertical pupils glared coldly at the middle-aged demon cultivator, and his voice was even colder.
"You let my wife participate in the draft. Do you think I'm dead?"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, fear and shock appeared in his eyes, and he fell to his knees with a bang.
"I...I don't know your identity, Your Excellency. Please forgive my offense. I definitely didn't mean to offend Madam!"
He lowered his head, his whole body trembling, and he was extremely scared.
Qin Shu blinked, confused by this scene, and stared at Xie Lanzhi with inquiring eyes.
Xie Lanzhi raised a cold arc at the corner of his lips and sneered: "You let my wife participate in the Demon Lord Selection, aren't you offending her?"
Snap! Snap!!
The middle-aged demon cultivator raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice.
He knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Shu, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "I just offended you, please spare my life, Madam!"
Snap! Snap!!
The middle-aged demon cultivator slapped himself twice again, and said with tears in his eyes: "I was blind and did not know the identities of the Venerable and Madam. I deserve death. I have offended the two of you. Madam, please spare my life!"
Qin Shu tilted her head slightly as she looked at the middle-aged demon cultivator who slapped her a few more times?
"Your change of attitude is strange, can you tell me why?"
The middle-aged demon cultivator stopped slapping and glanced at Xie Lanzhi with horror, meeting his cold and ruthless golden eyes.
He trembled all over and said in panic: "It was my fault that I was blind and didn't see the identity of Master Jinlong. It was my fault that I was arrogant and offended Madam. It was my fault that I offended you two..."
"Stop!" Qin Shu rubbed her forehead with a headache. "I'm asking why your attitude has changed. I don't want to hear your nonsense!"
The middle-aged demon cultivator trembled and looked embarrassed. He didn't understand what Qin Shu wanted to hear.
Yan Xishan couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to speak: "Junior Sister, the dragon clan has a superior status in the demon world, especially the golden dragon clan, which has more appeal and say than the demon lord. The current demon lord of the demon world is a black dragon, which is also the lowest quality bloodline of the dragon clan."
“……” Qin Shu widened her eyes slightly.
So there is such a saying. Then, isn’t Xie Lanzhi the lord of the demon world?
Qin Shu stared at Xie Lanzhi with her beautiful eyes. Before she could ask, the man nodded slowly.
Just heard a loud crash!
At the table closest to them, several demon cultivators who had previously discussed the selection of the Demon Lord stood up hastily and knelt down towards where Xie Lanzhi was.
"I greet Master Jinlong!"
The tone of their voices was full of excitement and respect, and their attitudes were extremely pious and humble.
Without even raising his eyelids, Xie Lanzhi picked up the wine jug with his jade-like hands and poured another glass of wine.
Seeing this, other people in the hall also moved, and the sounds of kneeling were heard one after another.
All the demon cultivators knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Lanzhi, who had pure blood.
"I greet Lord Jinlong!"
“…Greetings, Lord Jinlong!”
Qin Shu glanced at the demon cultivators around her who were kneeling and bowing, her mouth slightly open, which she did not close for a long time.
Yan Xishan touched Qin Shu, and his usually cold and handsome face showed a hint of amusement.
"Junior sister, you seem surprised? Don't you know that most of the demons are demon cultivators, and it is rare for human cultivators to fall into demons?"
Qin Shu took a long time to adjust her facial expression and glanced at him with resentment.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so shocked."
Yan Xishan smiled with his eyes curved: "At first I thought that your Taoist partner covered himself up tightly every day because he didn't want to reveal his identity as Jin Long. I didn't expect that when we just entered the demon world, you were bullied by someone who didn't have long eyes, and he revealed his identity so quickly. This is true love between you two."
Qin Shu pretended not to hear his joke and squinted her eyes to look at Xie Lanzhi, who looked calm and indifferent.
She asked in a low voice: "Brother Lan, what else are you hiding from me?"
Since Xie Lanzhi came to the world of cultivation, he seemed to become more and more mysterious.
Xie Lanzhi passed the wine glass in his hand to Qin Shu's lips and said gently, "Ah Shu, if I say that it was only after I entered the Demon Realm that I realized the respected status of the dragon clan in the Demon Realm, would you believe me?"
He didn't tell a lie.
The dragon race has been passed down from generation to generation, and so many memories have flooded into Xie Lanzhi's mind.
He needs to slowly explore the unfamiliar world of cultivation to make the memories in his mind clearer. As for the memories buried in the corners, he needs to get in touch with the origin of things.
For example, the dragon clan is divided into two factions in the Eastern Continent, one is the orthodox way of practicing spiritual power, and the other is the evil way of practicing that takes shortcuts.
Regardless of which faction, the dragon clan respects the Golden Dragon clan as the most respected. As long as the Golden Dragon appears, it has the privilege of calling on the dragon clans of both factions.
Qin Shu lowered her head and took a sip of the demonic wine. A small amount of demonic energy slid into her throat along the wine. The demonic energy was refined by the spiritual power in her meridians, and a small amount of spiritual power flowed into her dantian.
She stared at the man's elegant and refined face, and slowly curled her red lips: "As long as you say it, I will believe it."
Xie Lanzhi smiled and rubbed Qin Shu's soft hair.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the Black Dragon talent show."
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay—"
After the two men and the dragon left, for a long time, the sound of people gasping for breath could be heard one after another in the restaurant hall.
"Oh my god! I never thought that I would be able to see the true appearance of a golden dragon in my lifetime!"
"As expected, the more noble the dragon bloodline, the more extraordinary their appearance and demeanor! That golden dragon is so enchanting!"
"The pure blood of the golden dragon is many times stronger than our Demon Lord. Could it be that the Lord of the Demon Realm is going to change his master?"
"If that's the case, I'm going to participate in Lord Jinlong's talent show. It's worth it even if I have to be a foot-washing maid in the Demon Palace..."
*
The Demon Lord audition site was packed with demon practitioners.
Qin Shu, Xie Lanzhi and Yan Xishan, who had put on their hats again, flew up, stopped on the tallest building, and looked down at the talent show.
The talent show was already halfway through, with beauties in gorgeous attire walking obediently towards the makeshift platform.
They saluted the Demon Lord who was sitting above them, surrounded by several beauties in cool clothes, each with their own unique style.
When Qin Shu saw the Demon Lord sitting on a golden chair, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This Demon Lord really looks... handsome, unrestrained and uninhibited, not like a demon cultivator at all.
Yan Xishan didn't seem to expect the Demon Lord to look like this: "This man looks like a human, he doesn't look like a demon cultivator."
"Yeah, I think so too." Qin Shu nodded in agreement.
Xie Lanzhi stared at Qin Shu with his bright golden eyes and asked nonchalantly, "Shu also thinks he's good-looking?"
Qin Shu was originally admiring the beauty, but upon hearing Xie Lanzhi's emotionless words, her desire to survive quickly came online.
She hugged the man's arm and said sweetly, "It's okay, but not as good-looking as Brother Lan!"
Xie Lanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and hooked Qin Shu's palm with his fingertips, saying in an indulgent and doting tone: "It's okay if Ah Shu likes him, after all, there are not many people who can catch your eye."
Qin Shu felt a chill all over her body and looked up to find the sun.
Is the sun rising from the west?
When did Xie Lanzhi become so jealous?
Not only was it so generous that it was creepy, but there was also an indescribable feeling that it was like it was up to something bad.
Qin Shu shook her head like a rattle: "I don't like him, I like Brother Lan the most!"
She interlocked her fingers with the man's, and a well-behaved smile appeared on her charming face.
This flattering look caught Yan Xishan's eyes, and the sword in his arms was about to be unsheathed.
He frowned and said coldly: "Junior sister, does he even want to control you looking at a man? It's better to divorce such a domineering person!"
Yan Xishan couldn't bear to see his master's most beloved granddaughter living like this, depending on Xie Lanzhi's mood.
The warmth in Qin Shu's eyes faded away in an instant, and she stared at Yan Xishan as if he was a fool: "Have you forgotten that Brother Lan and I are husband and wife? If he admires other women, I would be unhappy too."
Yan Xishan thought of what his master said, that in his junior sister’s world, it is monogamy and husband and wife must be loyal to each other.
He was speechless and slowly closed his mouth, but his face still showed unconvinced.
With Qin Shu's identity, let alone looking at other men, it would be normal for her to find a few more men. After all, there is no so-called monogamy in the world of cultivation.
The life of a cultivator is long, and no matter how deep the feelings are, they will gradually fade after hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years of living together.
Many couples who held Taoist couple ceremonies when they were young, seeing their feelings worn out over time, would tacitly go out to find something new.
Qin Shu didn't know what Yan Xishan was thinking. She hugged Xie Lanzhi's arm and expressed their opinions on the audition that was still going on below.
"This demon lord is so blessed. Every woman who comes on stage is so beautiful that one cannot take their eyes away."
Xie Lanzhi looked at Qin Shu's serious expression and smiled: "They are not as beautiful as Ah Shu."
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, then she was amused and smiled with eyes curved: "Slippery tongue."
