Even though he didn’t get to eat the flesh of the Azure Dragon Demon King, swallowing the Grand Crown Prince whole was still a great boost for Long Fei.
His physical body is now so strong that he’s immune to most foods; only the at of these Great Demons can provide any nourishnt to his bloodline.
Long Fei seriously considered that for his Nascent Soul to break through, he needs to consu ten, a hundred tis more energy than ordinary people.
From now on, he couldn’t just rely on Spirit Stones to replenish the spiritual power of his Divine Sea; he also needed to eat more Great Demon at, allowing his body to continuously evolve to bear the powerful Nascent Soul within the Divine Sea.
After coming out from seclusion, Chu Feng, Murong Chong, and Wang Jie imdiately ca over.
They were worried that Long Fei might be injured, but seeing him full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, they were all relieved.
In these three days, Bald Dog, Da Heiniu, the Ground Rat Demon King, and the three demons who had recently submitted had all gone to Mount Wudang.
According to Daoist Huo Ju, the opportunity at Mount Wudang belonged to him, and he had an indisputable sovereignty over it.
How could others be allowed to take his possessions?
He incited Bald Dog and the others and went to scout Mount Wudang before Long Fei could finish his seclusion.
Chu Feng looked eager; if he hadn’t been staying here to guard Long Fei’s seclusion, he would have gone with them earlier.
The four n drank wine while planning how to seize the opportunity.
Long Fei looked outside and suddenly asked them, "Why don’t I see the Commandery Princess?"
Chu Feng laughed heartily, "What, worried about your wife? She went back to Southern Capital City; after the victory, she had to deal with those rchants who were causing trouble before."
During the standoff between the two armies, the chairman of the South Yangtze Chamber of Comrce, Wang Shouxin, spread rumors and exhausted his wealth to engage in a price war with the Prefecture Princess Mansion.
His intention was to disrupt the economic order at the rear, causing the Prefecture Princess Mansion to fall into chaos.
With the victory now, the first she had to deal with was them.
On the second day of Long Fei’s seclusion, she took people back.
Wang Jie asked him, "Boss, what do you really think about the Princess? Are you still thinking of running away from the marriage?"
Chu Feng snickered, "I bet he’s eager for the bridal chamber now!"
Even Murong Chong, the honest one, got cheeky and joked while drinking, "What is love in this world that makes life and death follow each other?"
Long Fei laughed lightly while drinking; he himself was unclear about how he truly felt.
It’s probably that he feels a sense of responsibility and guilt towards the Old Emperor, so he wants to repay it to Ji Wanrong.
During the ti at the Demon Cave of Mount Tai, if it weren’t for the Old Emperor’s help, he would have surely died there.
Among these won, the ones he truly cares about are Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya.
He calculated the ti in his mind and realized it seed like he’d been out for a long ti now.
Once this is over, he must go ho to check on his wife.
Lin Yingying is pregnant; he wonders if she has given birth?
He’s really not been a good husband at all.
After having a hearty drink, the four went to the frontline camp for a tour and before it got dark, they found a wooden cargo ship and headed upstream towards Mount Wudang.
In this world, not to ntion, water transport is quite developed.
Especially in South Yangtze, the water system is developed and the water network is dense; there’s no place you can’t reach by water.
It’s just that due to the vast territories, traveling by water is fraught with dangers; not only are there water bandits, but also disturbances from the Demon Clan.
Therefore, water transport has never been fully utilized.
Between prefectural governnt offices, comrcial exchanges are not that frequent.
Because of the self-sufficient small farming economy, each prefectural office can sustain itself, and there’s no need for close exchanges with other places for the ti being.
Long Fei stood at the bow, observing the environnt on both sides of the river, filled with emotion.
If this world didn’t have the Demon Race causing havoc, it would indeed have great potential.
At the front of the cargo ship, a carp about more than ten ters long rolled its eyes toward the back, cursing inwardly.
It didn’t check the calendar before leaving, and initially had ill intentions towards the cargo ship, intending to overturn it and find sothing to eat from it.
Unexpectedly, it t a bunch of tough people on this ship.
It, a dignified Clearwater Lake Carp King, had now beco a laborious worker to tow the boat, desperately pulling it upstream in the water.
Along the way, it encountered many old acquaintances but was too embarrassed to greet them.
So unlucky!
So damn unlucky!
While it was complaining, a whip cracked loudly, striking down hard on its back.
Its skin tightened, as if struck by thunder and lightning, causing it to whimper in pain.
Long Fei stared at it and hollered, "Stop rolling your eyes around, pull the boat properly, and you’ll get your reward when we arrive. If you have any funny ideas, I’ll roast you when we get there."
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!"
The Carp Demon cried out in pain and quickly exerted three tis the strength, pulling the boat even harder.
It tried to cozy up to Long Fei, saying, "Is Daoist going to Mount Wudang?"
Long Fei took a sip of wine and raised his eyebrows, "You know Mount Wudang?"
The Carp Demon exclaid, "Of course I know. Recently, the Demon Kings on both sides of the river have been wildly spreading the news that there’s an opportunity at Mount Wudang, almost everyone has gone there. But my cultivation level is not high, my status low, and my fortunes shallow, so I dare not join the excitent."
"So, you resorted to robbing and killing on the river?"
Long Fei glanced at it dismissively.
The Carp Demon protested its innocence, exclaiming, "No, no, I just wanted to find so food. I never kill people, otherwise, it’d bring karma, affecting my cultivation level."
"You sure know quite a bit."
Long Fei looked surprised, not expecting this little lake demon to be aware of karmic affairs.
He asked the Carp Demon, "Which famous demons are there on both shores of this Great River?"
"You’ve asked the right fish."
The Carp Demon raised its head proudly, "We carps have many descendants all over the river. I’m quite familiar with the famous demons on both shores of the Great River.
These shores are full of mountain ranges and hills, so of which stretch for a million li without seeing the beginning or end.
There are many experts among the Demon Clan, and the renowned ones belong to the Four Great Demon Kings of the Valley of Myriad Demons.
The four of them each occupy a mountain ridge, forming a holy land in the central valley where only the Demon Clan can enter.
One is the Golden Lion King of Northern Ridge, who is of the Golden-Haired Lion’s bloodline, born with three heads, and it’s said that one lion’s roar can destroy a city.
Another is the Dragon-Scaled Elephant King of Southern Ridge, rumored to have the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, possessing the might of dragons and elephants, and its foot can crush a mountain peak.
Another is the Single-Horned Rhino King of Eastern Ridge, purportedly of the ancient Blue Rhino’s bloodline, and its bull horn can pierce through mountain peaks.
Another is the Seven-Colored Peacock King of Western Ridge, she is considered a goddess among demons.
Rumor has it she’s extrely beautiful, with fair skin and lovely as a flower, many Demon Kings want to marry her.
The territory of the Four Great Demon Kings, mountain linked to mountain, water connected to water, have millions of little demons under their rule, making them the leading Demon Kings of South Yangtze!"
Long Fei grinned at it, "What, even you, a fish demon, are interested in the Peacock?"
The Carp Demon shouted, "The love of beauty is inherent in all beings, even a toad likes a swan! When I transform into a dragon, I’ll go propose to the Peacock Ridge."
"You’ve got ambition!"
Long Fei nodded, saying to it, "I’ll pass on your words to the Peacock Great King for you, so she’ll keep an eye on you!"
The Carp Demon imdiately cried out, "No, brother. I was just saying this to you in private; if the Peacock Fairy knew, she might skin alive!"
