My Demon Queen

Chapter 29 Changing the Bottom Line

Ye An was completely stunned. He had never thought that the Demon Queen was not a member of the Demon Clan. Moreover, all the demons acknowledged that Mo Qingcheng and Mo Ruxue were the Queens and supported them wholeheartedly.

"Is this world so crazy?" Ye An murmured blankly, and it took him a long time to react.

"Is she human?" Ye An asked, his voice full of surprise.

"Yes." The two boys nodded.

Ye An was even more surprised. He didn't understand why the demons would support a foreigner to become the empress.

"Why would you support a foreigner to become the empress?" Ye An couldn't help but be curious. He stared at the two young men in front of him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to find out all the answers from their eyes.

The two young men were also curious. The person in front of them really knew nothing about the demons, but they still patiently explained to him.

At some point a thousand years ago, the gears of fate began to turn quietly. Two baby girls abandoned by the human race were found and adopted by a kind-hearted old demon by chance. These two baby girls later became the empresses.

In that era full of hatred and prejudice, the hostility of the demons towards humans reached its peak. In order to protect these two innocent lives, the old man had to make a difficult decision - to throw himself into the blood pool. This decision not only meant that he would lose his own life, but also meant that he would no longer be able to accompany and take care of this young child.

However, the old man did not back down. He knew that only through his own sacrifice could he win a glimmer of hope for the empress. At the last moment of his life, the old man taught the empress the skills he had stolen from the human race. This skill became the key to the empress's survival and growth among the demons.

In the demon world, the empress gradually grew up. Her beauty and intelligence made her stand out among the many demons. However, she did not become proud and complacent. On the contrary, she worked harder to practice and continuously improve her strength.

Finally, by chance, the empress learned about her life experience. Her heart was filled with pain and confusion, but she did not become depressed. On the contrary, she became more determined to lead the demons to take back their lost land.

In the following days, the empress gradually emerged with her own strength and wisdom. She led the warriors of the demon clan to fight fierce battles with the enemy again and again. In every battle, she led the troops and fought bravely. Her courage and perseverance infected every warrior of the demon clan, making them more determined to follow her.

Under the leadership of the Empress, the demons gradually became stronger. They took back the lost land that originally belonged to them and built their own home on this land. The name of the Empress spread throughout the demon world and became a hero and leader in people's minds.

When the two boys told this story, their eyes sparkled. They were proud of their empress and felt lucky to live in such a legendary era. They believed that under the leadership of the empress, the future of the demon clan would be even better.

After hearing this story, Ye An was full of doubts and felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell where the problem lay.

The three of them walked forward and finally arrived at the courtyard after a long journey. As Ye An walked, he kept thinking about the story, and there was always an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, but when he saw the courtyard in front of him, that strange feeling was temporarily forgotten.

"Brother Ye, you're home now. We're going to go back now." The two young men bowed respectfully to Ye An, then gently placed the items they were carrying on the ground and turned to leave.

"Hey? Why don't you help me bring these things into the house?" Ye An looked at the pile of packages of all sizes at the door, helplessly watched the two people walking away, shook his head and had to rely on himself to hang them on his body one by one.

"I'm back!" After finally pushing open the gate, Ye An couldn't wait to shout.

"Brother Ye, you are finally back!" Xiao Rou, who was practicing, heard the voice and immediately ran out in joy. However, when she saw Ye An covered with all kinds of packages, like a mobile grocery store, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of confusion.

"Hahaha, I'm back! Come and help me, these things are too heavy, I can hardly hold on." Ye An asked for help with a wry smile.

"I told you to go eat, why did you bring these back?" Mo Qingcheng sat upright in the yard, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and her gaze fell on Ye An, who was covered with things and looked like a beggar. Her eyes were full of undisguised disgust.

Facing Mo Qingcheng's straightforward statement, Ye An didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he responded with a smile on his face: "Hehe, I'm also worried that I'll starve to death! Besides, I can't always trouble you to take me out for meals in person, sister!"

After saying that, Ye An immediately handed some of the items in his hand to Xiao Rou who was standing beside him. However, just as Xiao Rou was about to reach out to take it, Mo Qingcheng's icy voice rang out again: "Xiao Rou, don't help him, let him take it himself. Don't forget, he is also your servant." Hearing this, Xiao Rou's outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and the scene fell into an extremely awkward atmosphere.

On the other hand, Ye An just pouted slightly, made a face at Xiao Rou, blinked, and then picked up the things and walked into the house as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Rou looked at Ye An's appearance and couldn't help but laugh secretly, but she quickly stopped smiling and turned back to the room to continue practicing with Mo Qingcheng.

Mo Qingcheng caught a glimpse of Ye An moving forward slowly like a turtle from the corner of her eye. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Hmph! This old witch who has lived for more than a thousand years, this female devil, better not think about eating for the rest of her life!" Ye An grumbled unwillingly, while struggling to carry the heavy items and moving step by step towards the wing room. She was full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Mo Qingcheng.

At this moment, Xiao Rou, who was concentrating on practicing, was suddenly awakened by Mo Qingcheng's soft voice: "Xiao Rou, you have just embarked on the path of practice, and you also need to eat to maintain your body's needs. Let him prepare the meal tonight, and you just need to focus on practicing. Do you understand?" Mo Qingcheng gently looked at Xiao Rou who was practicing hard in front of him, and reminded her in a gentle tone.

The reason was simple. Xiao Rou had great talent. After practicing for two hours, she had absorbed three hundred spiritual energies from heaven and earth, almost catching up with herself at that time.

For an ordinary cultivator, absorbing fifty spiritual energies from heaven and earth for the first time is considered average. Absorbing one hundred and fifty is considered a genius and will be cultivated by major sects. Absorbing more than two hundred is already a genius and will be a giant in any era.

Just like Mo Qingcheng and Mo Ruxue now, when they absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for the first time, they absorbed 350 of them. They are geniuses among geniuses, otherwise how could they have grown so fast? In a thousand years, they have conquered a large territory for the demon clan, which is even larger than the original territory of the demon clan.

"Oh! I understand, Master."

Xiaorou responded helplessly, but her heart was filled with worry and distress. She looked at Brother Ye's busy figure and couldn't help but think of herself in the past, and now Brother Ye had to face so many difficulties and challenges alone, which made Xiaorou feel very sad.

However, she also understood the good intentions of her master. After all, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and without sufficient strength and perseverance, it is difficult to achieve real success. Therefore, although she was reluctant, Xiaorou still chose to listen to her master's words and silently support Brother Ye.

Seeing Xiaorou being so well-behaved and sensible, Mo Qingcheng was secretly pleased. She nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, then closed her eyes again and entered a state of selfless cultivation.

At the same time, Ye An had packed all his belongings. He was already exhausted.

"What are these foods? I have never seen them before! How do I start eating them?" Ye An widened his eyes and stared at the pile of various and moderate foods in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, secretly groaning in his heart.

The only thing he could recognize among this pile of unfamiliar food was a small animal that slightly resembled a chicken. Faced with this situation, Ye An couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Well, never mind, I'll use you to practice when I'm hungry!" Ye An shook his head helplessly, then cast his eyes on the chicken-like creature, as if he had made some kind of decision. Then, he clapped his hands lightly, turned around and walked out of the room.

Looking at the two figures who were still practicing in the courtyard, Ye An was in a state of anxiety, and an indescribable sense of unreality came over him. Not long ago, he was still struggling in the dark, bloody and terrifying blood pool; but now he was under the clear sky. Although he was still suffering and being abused, the surrounding environment had improved a lot. There was not only a neat and elegant courtyard, but also a gentle breeze blowing through the treetops, making a pleasant rustling sound. Compared with the closed and dark cave, it was a world of difference. Living in such a beautiful world at least gave people hope and longing.

Ye An quietly stared at the two people, one big and one small, standing side by side under the big tree. Time seemed to have frozen. At this moment, they were like a beautiful picture of tranquility and peace, which was deeply imprinted in the depths of Ye An's eyes. This picture was full of warmth and tranquility, which made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

Mo Qingcheng is a beauty unparalleled in the world, with pure and refined appearance and elegant temperament; on her small and exquisite oval face, two curved and thin willow-leaf eyebrows are as beautiful as distant mountains, and her pair of bright and tempting red lips are so bright and red that people are intimidated and dare not offend this icy beauty easily.

In sharp contrast to this is Xiaorou's lovely appearance: her figure is petite and fragile, making her look adorable as if a gust of wind could blow her down; her delicately carved little face is full of childlike innocence, especially her big watery and bright eyes that blink so charmingly, and her cherry-red and tender little mouth that is slightly upturned, which is simply delightful.

Ye An stared at the two women in front of him, who were very different in style but equally beautiful, and was fascinated. After all, he had never seen what he really looked like since he came to this strange world. There was no mirror to look at himself, but he still thought that he should not look too bad, right?

Ye An subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth, then slowly moved his gaze to the green grass next to him, thinking that he might as well lie down here and take a short rest, and feel this rare quiet time.

Just as I lay down and had no time to close my eyes, I heard Mo Qingcheng's cold voice mixed with a hint of teasing.

"This will be your resting place in the future."

Ye An was struck by lightning when he heard this. He sat up from the grass and stared angrily at Mo Qingcheng, who was smiling with a slightly raised mouth and eyes.

"I'm just taking a short break. Why should this be my resting place from now on? Do you want to treat me like a dog?"

"Oh? Isn't it?" Mo Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, a light laugh was heard. It turned out that Xiaorou at the side couldn't help laughing and finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

Ye An was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stood up from the grass with his eyes wide open, and roared at Mo Qingcheng: "How did I become a dog? Don't I have any dignity at all?"

Mo Qingcheng didn't care. She supported her chin with her hand and looked at Ye Anze with a smile. The smile on her lips showed her contempt. There was a light of victory in her eyes. She seemed to be quite satisfied with what she had just said. At this moment, she was even more proud and charming. Ye An looked at her and almost panicked. He shook his head and said with fire in his eyes.

"Mo Qingcheng, don't go too far. I also have a bottom line."

"Oh? Really? I went too far, so what?"

The smile on Mo Qingcheng's face became even more intense. He waved his other hand and a mace covered with spikes appeared in his hand.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng who suddenly had a mace in his hand, swallowed, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Then I'll change my bottom line."

"Puchi"

Xiaorou immediately covered her mouth as she was about to laugh.

Ye An glared at Xiao Rou gently.

Mo Qingcheng raised her lips and smiled, looking at the young man with curved eyebrows. He was also extremely happy and refreshed in his heart, with a hard mouth and soft words.
