Chapter 53

==================

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Ning Shen had not moved for a long time, A Kui looked up and asked.

Ning Chen suddenly came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "Let's go out and find something to eat."

Since Agui followed Ning Chen, he has actually hardly seen Ning Chen. In the few times they have met, his master's facial expressions and emotional revelations were pitifully rare.

However, this time, Aqui inexplicably felt that His Majesty seemed to be in a very good mood. He seemed to be relaxed and lazy, like a big cat that was about to yawn in the next second, stretching its front paws and yawning.

Maybe you are very happy when you are with Xie Shengzi, right?

Agui doesn’t understand, but as long as His Majesty is happy, Agui is happy.

Finally, Ning Chen took Aquiman to wander around the demon world, and finally chose a demon village that was being bullied by high-level demons.

Although Ning Chen has the title of Demon Lord, he actually doesn't care about anything in the Demon Realm. His original self was too lazy to care, and Ning Chen was also too lazy to care after he traveled here.

The power of the Demon Lord was recognized, but only his power was recognized. Without the trust of the other demons, it was natural that each of them would become the king of their own mountain.

The demon world is a place where the winner takes all. Here, one must either show loyalty to the demon and pray for protection, or be enslaved by the demon and become a pawn for cultivation.

The Demon Realm does not care about human ethics. It is a chaotic and disorderly place where only strength represents everything. Using evil magic to cultivate is commonplace for the demons here.

It was a very ordinary village. Most of the demons in the village were old people and children. The young and strong demons with some qualifications had been used as cauldrons for cultivation before they grew up and were offered to the great demons in this area. After careful selection, only the old, weak and sick were left to be used as sacrifices for the next evil magic.

The location of the demon tribe was about ten miles outside the Demon Palace. Ning Shen did not deliberately conceal his going out, and the leaders of the surrounding forces, big and small, soon received the news, and they all speculated what kind of evil this unpredictable master was going to do.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as Ning Chen went out, he chose a territory occupied by the demons in the Out-of-the-box stage. First, he took some effort to show off the leading demon in the Out-of-the-box stage on the spot, and then he carefully showed off some of the "loyal protectors" of the Kongming and Yuanying demons. After showing off, he was finally almost full and his injuries were mostly healed. Then, he was satisfied and let Agui lead the way back to the Demon Palace.

All the demons in the tribe knelt on the ground trembling. When they found out that Ning Chen killed the lord but ignored them and went back home instead, all the demons were a little surprised.

Batch after batch of plunderers had already plundered this tribe to the point where it was worthless, and it was normal for the lord to be killed. They had thought that the Demon Lord seemed to be starting to develop his own power and subordinates, but it seemed that the Demon Lord was just here to show off his high-level demons.

That's right. Their tribe is now filled with only the old, weak, sick and disabled people. They are not as worthy of occupying as other territories. If the Demon Lord wants to develop, he will not choose them.

The demons in the surrounding territories quickly withdrew their people from their tribes. Because of Ning Shen's intervention, even if no one took over the leadership of the entire demon tribe, they no longer had any intention of setting foot here because of the intimidation of the Demon Lord.

After realizing this, the oldest demon elder trembled and bent deeply in the direction where Ning Chen left, resting his wrinkled forehead on the ground, folding his hands on his chest, silently chanting a blessing spell.

Deep in the Demon Palace.

System 014 said in a joyful voice: "The plot point of Nuwa Secret Realm has been completed, and 200 points have been issued. Please check it, host!"

At that time, Ning Chen had just returned to the Demon Palace and was planning to soak in the blood pool. However, when Ning Chen saw what the blood pool looked like, even the points he got did not seem to make him so happy.

The liquid in the blood pool was bright red, and as dead silent as a pool of stagnant water. The surrounding stone walls were engraved with complicated spells that Ning Shen couldn't understand, but he didn't feel any threat from them, so he just let it go.

Ning Chen just tested the water temperature and it was very cold. The liquid in the blood pool seemed to have life. As soon as Ning Chen stretched out his hand, the liquid slowly surged towards Ning Chen's hand, and then climbed up his body, giving Ning Chen goose bumps all over his body. He immediately threw away the blood-red liquid in disgust.

Ning Chen didn't want to put himself in a difficult position, so he discussed with System 014: "Can I not get involved in this shit?"

"Maybe... not very good," System 014 said softly. It gave Ning Chen an idea: "Host, how about this? I'll secretly open another way for you to earn points. You can also earn points by being intimate with the male protagonist, 2 points for one hour. You need to soak for half a month, and during this half month you can change your vest and go to the male protagonist to be intimate."

What? Earn points?

Ning Chen was no longer aggrieved: "What vest? How do I apply it to make it effective? How long can it last? Just for half a month or later?"

"From now on, it's fine. It counts as long as you're within a mile of the hero."

014After being reminded of this, Ning Chen remembered that in the original novel, the original demon clan seemed to have placed a puppet in Liuyun Sect, who "generously" rescued Xie Tingyun when he had just joined the sect and was being bullied by his fellow disciples who were jealous and envious. After gaining Xie Tingyun's trust, the puppet found an opportunity to backstab and plot against the male protagonist.

However, the current progress has not reached the point of backstabbing. The vest has only gained the favor and trust of Xie Tingyun and then thrown aside. Now it just happens to be a good opportunity for Ning Chen.

This time, Ning Chen and System 014 agreed immediately: "Yes."

First, change the disguise and stick to the male protagonist to earn points, and then wait for the real body to come out after soaking in the blood pool to take revenge on the righteous path, and then find Xie Tingyun to fight.

You get 2 points per hour, and 24 points in a full day. You can earn back the points of a set of pills in one day!

Perfect.

Before Ning sank, he used magic energy to heat up the entire blood pool, and then went down.

The water level of the blood pool was not high, not even reaching half of Ning Shen's body. When he sat down, the water level just covered his chest.

The strong and broad shoulders sank into the blood-red water, the long black hair scattered around the shoulders and neck. Ning Chen found a good place to lean against the wall and closed his eyes, trying to sense the puppet vest in the distance that had not been activated for a long time.

Liuyun Sect.

A lot has happened in Zongli recently.

First, the eldest senior brother was captured by the Demon Lord and returned safely. Then, the eldest senior brother led a team into a secret realm, but the secret realm suddenly increased in level but everyone still escaped unscathed. Finally, the entire cultivation world was mobilized to encircle the Demon Lord but failed. Instead, many sect leaders and elders of the cultivation sects returned seriously injured.

So many things happened that it was hard to know where to start.

Oh, by the way, there is also the child that the eldest senior brother brought back after being captured by the Demon Lord.

They get annoyed whenever they talk about this kid!

In the beginning, the disciples of Liuyun Sect actually had no idea that this half-blooded, half-demon child actually had the talent of a demon. Ah Chao also looked like a well-behaved child, so in the beginning, many disciples who were slacking off during their cultivation would come over to play with the child.

What's even worse is that Ah Chao never showed any signs of going back in the week before he came to Liuyun Sect, so the disciples were just slacking off for a week.

Then, a week later, he was caught by the elders of the sect and watched the entire flashback. He didn't even have time to wail before he was punished to double his training time.

Some disciples slipped out more than ten times a week, and were fortunate enough to be caught and taken to the torture hall, where they knelt together with their senior brothers.

The culprit faced their resentful gazes calmly, sighed softly, and said, "Don't look at me. Who told you to skip training and sneak out to play? Slipping out once or twice is fine, but how many times have you run away?"

Disciples: “…”

Someone quietly moved closer to Xie Tingyun and asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, why are you here too?"

Xie Tingyun couldn't say that his master was angry because he secretly let the Demon Lord go, so he still had to give him the proper punishment, so he could only say simply, "Because I made a big mistake."

The disciples kneeling beside them almost popped their eyes out. Their senior brother, a model worker, was usually very hardworking and diligent and had never made any mistakes.

Even if he made a mistake, the eldest senior brother would not be punished because of how much the master doted on him. This was the first time they saw the eldest senior brother kneeling in the punishment hall, which showed that the master might be really angry this time.

Ning Chen opened his eyes.

At this time, his vest was closed in his own cave. There was only a bed and a table around him, nothing else.

This body was carefully crafted by the original owner after practicing puppetry for a period of time. The meticulousness is mainly reflected in the fact that this puppet is perfect in terms of appearance, smoothness, and use of spiritual power. Even that old thing Taoist Ling Zhenren may not be able to find any flaws.

After all, he doesn't have as high a cultivation level as the original owner, so it's normal that he can't see it.

But in the original novel, this vest was wearing a mask when he showed up to help the bullied male protagonist. Xie Tingyun was grateful to the vest for his help and would not pry into other people's privacy. He also guessed that the vest did this probably because he was afraid that those who bullied him would recognize his face and retaliate, so he wore a mask.

In fact, the real reason is that the puppet created by the illusion is the real face of the puppeteer himself. The Demon Lord cannot let Xie Tingyun see his true face, so he wears a mask.

Ning Chen used his spiritual power to create a mirror and saw his familiar face.

The face of this vest changes with the change of its owner, and its features also change into a calm and true face.

His sharp long eyebrows slanted down to his temples, and his eyes changed from dark red to pure black, making it difficult to see his true emotions, and he only seemed extremely intimidating.

I still like my own face better.

Dahao had always used disguises when appearing in public, and Ning Shen was tired of seeing that ordinary face. Now that he had changed back to his own face, he finally felt much more comfortable.

Ning Shen asked System 014 in his mind: "Did you get any points?"

014 said: "Not yet, the distance is not enough, please get closer to the hero."

Ning Chen raised his hand and waved away the mirror that was transformed from spiritual power, and decided to go out and play with Xie Tingyun.

Anyway, no one here knows him, so Ning Chen can be as wild as he wants with his face without any burden.

By the way, monitor Xie Tingyun to see if he has kept his promise and not been injured or taken on any missions, and is resting well.

Ning Chen had thought it all out. If Xie Tingyun failed to do so, Ning Chen would simply use his main character to kidnap Xie Tingyun and bring him to the Demon Palace. He would watch over him while he recovered under his own supervision, and only after he recovered would he fight with Ning Chen and then release Xie Tingyun.

Ning Chen was in a good mood and hummed, "Let's go and earn points."
