Xiniu Hezhou, Qijue Mountain!
The mountains are winding and circling gracefully. Looking down from the sky, white clouds surround the peaks, like a giant dragon sleeping in the clouds. There is a stone tablet in front of the mountain, with two lines of red characters engraved on it: The mountain path is 800 miles long, but few people have walked it since ancient times.
The stone tablet has existed for 500 years. It has been weathered by wind and sun but has not left any traces of time. It is the most well-known symbol of Qijue Mountain.
The Qi Jue Mountain range is continuous, and it is true that it is 800 miles long, but it has been seldom traveled for a long time, only because there is a city called Qi Jue on the mountain where humans and monsters live together.
500 years ago, Duke occupied the mountain and became the king. He demonstrated his strong hand and was honored as the national guardian by the king of Zhuzi at that time. He offered him gold, silver and treasures every year just asking for peace.
At that time, Qijue Mountain was seldom visited by people, and it was a forbidden place that everyone feared because of the demonic clouds that loomed over it every day. However, everything began to change after the red-scaled python raised by Duke transformed.
It was unknown what species the red-scaled python was. It clearly did not have the blood of ancient beasts, but its size was much larger than that of ordinary pythons. Moreover, its cultivation aptitude was horrible, and it was extremely difficult to transform. Duke spent a lot of effort and used rare fruits, elixirs and magical medicines to smash it into a human form.

On this day, inside the Qi Jue Palace, Snake Queen was reviewing documents at the desk in the main hall.
After five hundred years, Snake Queen fell more and more in love with Duke. With her strong personality, her possessiveness over Duke became stronger and stronger. For example, this time, the banshee intercepted a letter written to Duke.
Duke smiled indifferently, slaughtered them on the spot and hung them on the city gate. If there were any fearless demon kings who came here to make trouble, they were also hung on the city gate to be dried and made into special bacon with a fixed price.
The order of this city was not maintained by the rules, but by the iron fist of the Snake Princess, or rather, the strength of Duke's suppression. People changed the name of him from "the Great King" to the Lord of the City, and the Snake Princess naturally became the respected wife of the Lord of the City.
Where there are people, there is a market. Where there is a market, there is demand. Where there is demand, there are more people to fill the gap. From a market and a few inns at the beginning, to a small town later, and finally to a large city with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands, it took less than a hundred years to develop.
Over time, people knew that there was a market run by a monster on Qi Jue Mountain. People came here for novelty, money, or simply to save time, and Qi Jue Mountain became more and more lively.
She has held the power of life and death for many years, managing the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of people. She has the aura of a superior between her eyebrows, and the same is true of her clothes and appearance. Her cold face is slightly powdered, her eyebrows are like moths, her black hair is tied into a bun, and she is wearing a red palace dress, revealing her delicate collarbone and slender jade neck. The palace dress is embroidered with black python patterns, which is cold and domineering.
By the way, since ancient times, femme fatales cannot tolerate love rivals. The beautiful concubine that Zhuzi Kingdom sent to Duke was thrown into the music hall by the Snake Queen!
"Hmph, it's better not to keep the invitation from the Jiao Demon King..." Snake Princess said coldly. The dragon girl in the music hall was sent by the Jiao Demon King. Snake Princess had no good feelings towards him at all and continued, "What business can they have? They just call friends, eat, drink and have fun."
When Duke saw her transformed form for the first time, a figure jumped into his mind and he named her Snake Queen.
In the largest music house, there are human female monks who go into the business to earn extra money, as well as dragon courtesans. It is said that the king of Zhuzi country once visited there in disguise... As for what he did, of course, it was to understand the people's sentiments!
With Duke's support, Snake Queen acted more domineeringly. Over time, the new demons in the city didn't even know what humans smelled like. In this city, demons are just like humans. If they don't work, they will starve to death. You can often see demons running errands and moving goods on the streets. If they mess up, they will inevitably be whipped by the human shopkeeper. Of course, the most famous, profitable, and most sought-after place for the rich and powerful is the music house. As long as you have money, you can get a female demon. In the past, only princes, nobles, generals, and scholars could enjoy the vixen. Here, you can spend the night with them as long as you spend money. Even a fat Mediterranean will be called "Young Master" by the vixen.
Seeing the paper crane fly away, Snake Princess snorted coldly before leaning into Duke's arms: "My king, you haven't been to this palace for a long time. Why are you here today?"
Because Duke was too lazy to manage, Qijue Mountain was a mess when Snake Queen first took over. Apart from the little monsters, there were only the beautiful concubines sent by Zhuzi Country to serve Duke, and a pile of gold and silver treasures rotting in the warehouse. It can be said that there was nothing but money, women, and brothers.
The monster with a bird face and wearing black casual clothes, who else could it be but Duke.
Merchants from various countries positioned this place as a trade center. The prices of land and goods in the city skyrocketed, and many people who had settled in the city moved outside the city. Villages were dotted around the city.
Snake Queen's magic power was average, but before she transformed, she was influenced by Duke every day, and was instilled with many ideas that were not in line with this era, so she was smart and sensitive. Duke didn't like to take care of worldly affairs, so he handed over the management of Qijue Mountain to her. Every day, she either practiced in seclusion or went out to hang out with friends.
After getting on the right track, Qi Jue City experienced explosive growth and development.
Duke sat on a chair beside the desk and held Snake Princess in his arms. After reading the letter, he casually made a hand gesture and the letter was folded into a paper crane and flew away.
The city is surrounded by a majestic high wall with four gates pointing east, west, south and north. On the city walls, there are neatly armored demons patrolling and standing guard. The city is extremely prosperous, with merchants selling goods everywhere, as well as music houses, wine, sex and money. It is the most famous den of money-spending in the surrounding countries.
The 5000-word description here is lost. Please look at the three words '404' and fill in the blanks yourself.
Snake Princess opened the letter, which was full of nonsense. The writer was Dragon Demon King, who only said that he would come to Duke to reminisce about the past in a while.
Perhaps because she often heard Duke talk about it, the woman transformed from the giant python was very much in line with his aesthetics, unlike the classic oriental beauties. She was tall and long-legged, hot and domineering, with long black hair that went down to her waist, skin as white as jade, and a seductive face. She should have been a witch who could seduce everyone, but her lavender thin lips and sharp eyebrows made her look cold and frosty, keeping people away from her.
Five hundred years seems like an extremely long time, but when you come to your senses and look back, it seems like just a blink of an eye.
Duke achieved the achievement of a grassroots hero, and also understood why another grassroots hero chose to become a monk despite having a beautiful wife. It was because the scholar was just an ordinary man and could not withstand the basic operations of a snake 24 hours a day.
"If I don't come, wouldn't I be considered a villain who broke his promise?" Duke didn't care about Snake Queen's behavior and just thought she was just throwing a tantrum.
Snake Princess sneered and raised her hand to tear up the letter. At this time, a breeze blew through the hall, and a figure appeared behind Snake Princess, and the letter in her hand disappeared.
Snake Queen obeys Duke, and she doesn't tolerate anyone except him. The two of them have feelings for each other, and they rolled onto the boat on the day of transformation. Because Snake Queen is a snake, her body is soft and boneless, especially her flexible and slender snake waist. Every time she sits...
Dragon Demon King: You must have misunderstood something! Although the letter didn't say it, Snake Princess could guess that the person who wanted to reminisce with Duke was not only Dragon Demon King, but also the Bull Demon King who was also greedy for wine and lustful, and the serious but actually sultry Peng Demon King.
Snake Princess knew very well what kind of character the Dragon Demon King had, and she always forced Duke to go out and look for prostitutes.
Snake Queen never complained and managed the business of Qi Jue Mountain diligently. She was extremely talented in business and earned a large fortune for Duke in less than a hundred years.
At the beginning, it was just the simplest timber and herb business. A few fearless merchants made a fortune, and others became jealous and joined in. Gradually, a trade market was formed on Qi Jue Mountain.
Living with monsters is dangerous, but after getting used to it, you will find that it is not a big deal, because the Snake Queen has set a rule that monsters must pay for their lives if they kill someone. At the beginning, many monsters did not care and did not take the Snake Queen seriously. Most of them were captured and killed. The rest fled to Duke to complain, claiming that they had shed blood for the Seven Absolute City and were meritorious officials. The behavior of the Snake Queen chilled the hearts of these old people.
At this moment, a female demon dressed as a maid walked into the palace and presented a letter. The demon was pretty and was a confidant personally selected by the Snake Queen. She was one of her spies in the harem... To put it bluntly, she was used to prevent Duke from having affairs with other women.
"Don't say that. They are all great saints of the demon race, and their status is high. You have to give them some face!"
"Haha, a demon king who drinks and buys wine on credit?" Snake Queen took out a stack of IOUs from a box beside her, all of which were signed by the Bull Demon King.
"Well, when you're out, you have to rely on your friends. It's not easy for Lao Niu either..."
Duke laughed. Lao Niu had typical tracheitis, and he was also a pervert. He secretly had a little girl outside, and he was always short of money. Because of drinking, gambling, and playing with women, Princess Iron Fan had many arguments with him. Even his son couldn't stand the quarrel between them, so he moved out to start his own family.
