"Demon, Lord Demon King!"
The demons all bowed in unison.
The five demon kings of the demon realm are now very powerful.
This Lord Liu Muyu has held the title of Demon King for a century, and most people know of his formidable reputation.
For example, being moody or unpredictable, eccentric or unruly.
He also has the talent to see through the weaknesses of the demon race.
The arrival of the powerful demon king silenced the entire city, especially their bustling market.
"Get up, all of you. This is my sister Song. Seeing her is like seeing me and the Demon Lord. Did the Demon Clan hear this?"
Liu Muyu glanced around, his aura spreading far and wide.
It wasn't just the demons who heard it.
They, the foreigners, heard it too.
Song Tingwan exclaimed with surprise, "Ayu, what are you doing here?"
Song Siyao, holding her sword, chuckled and stepped aside. Liu Muyu smiled kindly at her.
Then, she leaned down and smiled sweetly at her sister Song, saying, "I came here because I smelled your scent."
In fact, alchemists hold a very high position in the Demon Realm.
He's here to oversee this alchemy exchange conference.
"It's been so many years, how come you're still so sweet-talking?"
Song Tingwan smiled deeply, feeling pleasantly surprised by Liu Muyu's appearance.
Liu Muyu leaned closer and flattered her, "I'm only sweet-talking Sister Song."
After the two finished laughing, Liu Muyu looked at the child who was already stunned.
"Does Sister Song like this child?"
Song Tingwan followed his gaze and saw that the child's face had turned red again, but he looked completely helpless.
It was as if they didn't know whether to stand there or kneel down in fear.
Even the boldest child, when faced with a powerful and ruthless demon king, is already doing well if they don't cry.
"The little guy is quite interesting. I'm just curious whether he can really produce multiple pills from a single furnace."
Song Tingwan spoke slowly and softly.
This is very important to her.
She wouldn't watch such a talented child end up on the streets, struggling on his own.
Upon hearing this, Liu Muyu finally took a serious look at the child.
He then let out a surprised "Eh!" and sent a telepathic message to Song Tingwan.
—This child's talent is the art of nurturing spirits, which allows him to accelerate the ripening of plants.
—It looked tattered and broken, probably because he went to the mountains to dig up unripe magical plants and force them to mature.
Liu Muyu paused, then looked at the child: "They say your pills and demonic plants were stolen. Now that I am here, do you have any explanation?"
Spirit nurturing techniques were nothing special in the past.
However, since the status of alchemists rose, many demons have made a lot of money selling demonic plants. After tasting the sweetness of success, they began to raise demons who could nurture spirits.
But more often than not, there are wicked demons who capture the demons who use the Spirit Cultivation Technique, and if the demonic plants they force to mature don't meet the requirements each day, they will be starved and beaten.
Over the years, Liu Muyu has led the demon army to destroy many hideouts.
Naturally, they also knew why the child hadn't dared to argue before.
"I dug it out of the mountains myself. I revived some of the half-dead and damaged magical plants myself. Last year, when Pei Dansheng came to Bojun City to give a lecture, I overheard him and spent half a year figuring it out before I finally refined the pill."
"I didn't steal it!"
The child stiffened his neck and shouted loudly.
Tears welled up but wouldn't fall, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had held back over the years.
Song Tingwan and Song Siyao looked at the child curiously. Liu Muyu casually ruffled the child's hair and said, "Okay, then I'll take you away and prove to me that you can produce multiple pills from one batch."
Surprisingly, Liu Muyu was quite patient with the child.
It should be noted that Liu Muyu always judges people by their appearance. Except when she is obedient and well-behaved in front of Song Tingwan, no one dares to mess with her outside.
The child had just nodded when the monks objected.
"Demon King, Goddess, please let us take a look. It just so happens to be the Pill Refining Exchange Conference, and we're curious whether this little guy can refine it."
Those individuals seemed to know that the demon race had turned to good, and they were quite confident.
Liu Muyu, who was about to leave with the child by the shoulder, chuckled upon hearing this.
"You dare to stop me just because my sister Song is here? Aren't you afraid I'll go on a killing spree?"
His reputation has spread quite far.
The cultivators glanced at the young swordsman holding his sword, then at the gentle, smiling goddess of sleep.
"Although the Demon King's reputation is great, you and the Demon King of Lin Kong were known for not killing innocent people indiscriminately during the chaos of the Demon Realm. Moreover, our Sword Saint and Goddess are here. Do you think they would condone you killing people in the street?"
The young cultivator who had been arguing with the child stood up and bowed to Liu Muyu.
Compared to other cultivators, he was more fearless and straightforward.
Liu Muyu laughed heartily, "In the end, it's all because Sister Song and my sister are here."
After laughing, he turned to look at his sister Song and the child beside him, "What do you guys say?"
Song Tingwan also turned her gaze to the child, who was as stiff as a stone.
She won't make the decision for him.
but--
“Ah Yu is the Demon King. Even if you’re worried that he can’t protect you, I am a close friend of your Demon Lord. He will protect you.”
"So if there are any unspeakable difficulties, take this opportunity to resolve those misunderstandings and stigmas."
The woman spoke softly, and the child lowered his head slightly, it was unclear whether he had heard her.
Liu Muyu didn't have that kind of patience. She patted his thin shoulder and said, "Although I can't beat the Demon Lord, I'm still one of the best, okay? You don't even believe me?"
"But... don't you know who Sister Song is?"
Liu Muyu looked at the child's expression with curiosity. Wasn't it said that all alchemists admired Sister Song?
