The Emperor Reigns Them All-Chapter 460 - A Damn Little Devil

Chapter 460 A Damn Little Devil

When the demon bear heard that Li Ye was going to leave, he felt relieved. Li Ye tortured him badly. Since Li Ye stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion, the demon bear had been living in fear.

It was the second day after Li Ye stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion, but he suffered heavy losses, and his personality was deeply questioned by the demons in Panfeng City. The demon bear really suspected that if Li Ye continued to stay here, he might die in a few days—either he would be forced to death by Li Ye or he would perish with Li Ye.

Now that Li Ye offered to leave, the demon bear was overjoyed. What was more, Li Ye no longer ask the demon bear to chase the assassins. The demon bear breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, as a condition, the demon bear had to give fifteen cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm to Li Ye… The demon bear didn’t feel that it was too much as long as he could survive.

It was just fifteen cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. As the Lord of Panfeng City, he would have plenty of time to recruit demons and fill in the vacancy in the future.

Then he reacted with grief and anger. Li Ye won 60 to 70 cultivators from the demon python previously, and now he gave him fifteen. The masters above the Ground Immortal Realm in the City Lord’s Mansion would probably not be enough to guard the door in the future…

The demon bear wanted to deny the demon python’s bet, but he wisely chose not to talk about it when he saw so many demons outside the mansion. He wanted to struggle, but he was afraid that if he said a few more words, Li Ye would have an excuse to make trouble and blackmail him for more money.

Then he would really be pissed off.

As Li Ye was going to leave, it was a good chance for the demon bear to survive. He didn’t want to die.

Since the demon bear agreed, Li Ye didn’t push him too hard. After all, going beyond was as bad as falling short. He was quite satisfied now, so he said, “Lord, you’re righteous. Don’t worry. I will accept your favor.”

Then he said to the demons, “Demons are all heroes in the world. Don’t worry. After you follow me, I will be good to you. As long as you don’t make trouble and obey my orders, I will give you back your freedom twenty years later.”

Hearing this, all the demons breathed a sigh of relief, especially the 60 to 70 demons, who were as bets.

Demons had a long life, especially those in the Ground Immortal Realm. Twenty years was really nothing. If they cultivated in seclusion, it would take more than twenty years. They were unwilling to follow Li Ye all the time. Even though they had a contract, they might make trouble.

But twenty years… If they could go to the prosperous human world for a trip, they would think that twenty years was too short. That was the time for a trip!

“Hehe. Travel at public expense, all-inclusive. That’s great!”

So instead of feeling sad, they were very happy.

Previously, they wanted to see the prosperity of the human world, but they couldn’t. After all, the Immortal Court was suppressing them. No one knew when they would be killed. Those who could follow the Seven Sages or the Great Powers to see the human world were all their trusted subordinates. They had no chance at all.

Moreover, Li Ye could defeat the demon python in the Real Immortal Realm with his strength in the Ground Immortal Realm, so they were convinced of Li Ye. Even those in the Sky Immortal Realm or the Real Immortal Realm didn’t feel embarrassed to follow Li Ye. Instead, they felt honored.

Since the demon bear didn’t stop them, they looked at each other and felt the joy and excitement of each other. Previously, they felt that the demon python had harmed them. Although they were angry, they didn’t dare to say anything, but now they thought that they should thank the demon python!

The demons exchanged glances with each other, and they all understood what each other meant… Well, they would visit the demon python’s tomb and offer sacrifices to him in the future.

Accepting everyone’s expression in his eyes, Li Ye knew that the first team he “abducted” in the demon clan was stable.

These cultivators had high cultivation, and they were all masters above the Ground Immortal Realm. Their overall strength was a level better than that of the demons You Daxiao and Red Boy brought to help him and that of the third group of cultivators of the demon clan who had arrived at Pinglu… But the number of demons was a little short, about eighty.

Li Ye was satisfied and content. After all, this was only Panfeng City, and there was a long way to go… With this in mind, Li Ye looked at the demon around the mansion, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

“Should I abduct another group of demons from here?”

Seeing Li Ye look satisfied, the demon bear didn’t know why he also felt happy and couldn’t help laughing. “Now that everything is settled, should you rest now? I’ll go to arrange a banquet to see you off tonight!”

He felt very uncomfortable and had a sense of crisis for so many demons were watching outside the mansion.

Li Ye answered casually and waved his hand. “You can leave now. You Daxiao, go pick 15 cultivators.”

After all, You Daxiao was also a demon, and he was the Roc Demon King’s son. If he temporarily led these eighty-plus demons, it would be more acceptable for them in emotion.

Just as the demon bear was completely relaxed and Li Ye was about to cure the wound, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard. Then something happened!

“We don’t accept it!”

“We don’t accept it!”

“We can’t just let it go!”

As the clamor of rage rose, a dozen demons came out in force and rushed toward Li Ye. They looked fierce and angry, as if they would eat Li Ye as long as they were a little dissatisfied.

When the demon bear looked at these demons, his face darkened. He almost couldn’t help but swear at them, and he wished to kill all these troublemakers. However, he didn’t make a move, not because he couldn’t, but because he didn’t want to.

Seeing the happy faces of those demons who were going to follow Li Ye, the demon bear felt as if his heart had been stabbed by countless knives.

Some demons still had a conscience and were willing to stand on his side… Although he really didn’t want to have any new problem, at least it was a psychological comfort.

But the demon bear soon thought otherwise.

It was because these demons were all female, and they were the female demons who stared at Li Ye with shining eyes just now!

“What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Get out of here!” the demon bear roared with a complicated feeling.

“No!”

“No, we won’t give in!”

“We won’t retreat even if we die!”

The female demons took a firm stand one after another. They raised their heads and puffed out their chests, as if they were the heroes who were going to the execution.

When Li Ye saw these female demons, his expression became a little weird. Subconsciously, he wanted to avoid them as soon as possible.

As expected, these female demons began to make trouble. They shouted angrily, “Why can they follow Prince An, but we can’t?”

“That’s right! Why should we stay here?”

“I cheered for Prince An just now!”

“I shed tears for Prince An!”

“We also want to follow Prince An!”

“That’s right! We want to follow Prince An. No one can stop us, or we’ll fight to the death with him!”

Hearing this, the demon bear stood stunned there, speechless.

“What’s going on here? Why are you not standing on my side but on Li Ye’s side?”

“Have I felt so gratified for nothing?”

“As the demons of the City Lord’s Mansion, why did you take the initiative to come forward after Li Ye didn’t choose you? What about your personality? What about your dignity? What about your pride?”

“I thought you were speaking for me just now. I didn’t expect that you would forget me after having a lover. You are ungrateful!”

“I spared no pains to prevent Li Ye from emptying the City Lord’s Mansion. Taking a great risk, I struggled to bargain with Li Ye and managed to reduce the number of twenty demons to fifteen. It wasn’t easy for me to take back five demons. I didn’t expect that you would give ten more demons to Li Ye for free!”

The demon bear really wanted to cry. Looking at the excited female demons, he wished to push all of them into the most severe trials!

He couldn’t understand the female demons’ thoughts. But for the female demons, the reason was very simple.

The prosperity of the human world was more attractive to them than to the male demons. After all, there were beautiful clothes of different colors, rare cosmetics, countless beautiful jewelry, and endless poems and songs…

Who wouldn’t want to travel and do some shopping in a prosperous place?

Moreover, they could stay with the handsome and powerful Prince An. Was there anything more wonderful than this in the world?

The female demons were crazily longing for the future.

Li Ye originally wanted to leave as soon as possible, but now the female demons were filled with indignation, so he couldn’t leave. Whether female demons or women, if they went crazy, they would have no sense at all, and they would do anything. He was afraid that they would rush over and tear his clothes.

The female demons were asking him for an explanation because they were treated unfairly. At this moment, Li Ye felt that he had let down their feelings…

Then he noticed that Duchess was glaring at him. He was suddenly alert, feeling as if he had been shot through…

He pretended to cough, saying, “Well, you want to follow me… Well, it’s a complicated problem. I can’t… Well, Duchess, it’s up to you!”

Li Ye swung his sleeves and left the problem to Duchess. He didn’t stay and turned back into the house without hesitation.

Duchess didn’t stop him. After all, he was seriously injured, and she was afraid to delay the time for his treatment. It would be bad if he had any hidden injuries because he didn’t receive timely treatment.

Duchess let Li Ye go, but she didn’t intend to let go of the female demons. She looked at them with gloomy eyes. Her watery eyes were full of frost. There were hidden murderous intents in her lowered eyes. Her fierce expression was full of hostility.

She was like a tiger cub that had seen its own kind. And a mountain couldn’t accommodate two tigers.

She would take action at any time to nip the threat of coveting Li Ye in the bud.

When the female demons saw Duchess’ expression, they were all stunned. Some of them who were timid shouted with fright and couldn’t help stepping back.

With the cultivation in the Ground Immortal Realm, Li Ye could defeat a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm. This little girl was with Li Ye all the time, but they couldn’t see through the realm of her cultivation. Was she a hidden master? The female demons didn’t dare to be careless.

Seeing the female demons stepping back in fear, Duchess was satisfied. She raised her delicate chin and snorted proudly. She said in a queenly and condescending tone, “Do you want to follow Elder Brother Ye? Can you do the laundry, do the cooking, do the cleaning, or do the dishes?”

The female demons looked at each other, confused. They didn’t know why Duchess would ask this.

The innkeeper at the side chuckled in her heart. She looked at the female demons with sympathy.

Duchess was unhappy as no one reply. She said, “Stay if you can. Leave if you can’t. Answer me at once!”

“Yes, I can!”

“Yes, I can! I can!”

“Me too!”

The female demons replied one after another. Of course, they could cope with this test. Even if they couldn’t, they wouldn’t say that at this moment.

Wu You placed one hand on her hips and pointed to the courtyard with the other, acting as an elder. Like a landlord who trained his servants, she said, “You guys clean up the courtyard and get rid of the blood! You guys go get some hot water. Elder Brother Ye will change his clothes and take a bath later! The rest of you go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and prepare firewood. Remember, it should be core wood. Only core wood can cook delicious food!”

After hearing the orders, the female demons stood stunned for a long time. They were cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. How could they do the chores?

Then they saw Wu You frown and obviously unhappy. They immediately dispersed in an uproar and quickly went to work.

“Wait, there seems to be something wrong… Aren’t we following Prince An for traveling, shopping, cosmetics, jewelry, and clothes? Why are we doing these things? It seems to be different from what we imagined!”

“A test! This is Prince An’s test for us!”

“Yes! You’re right! It must be so! We are so beautiful, so how can Prince An not fall for us?”

Looking at each other, the female demons confirmed their thoughts because of each other’s gaze. Then, they all began to work hard.

As an experienced person, the innkeeper knew what they were thinking when she saw their expressions. She laughed in her heart. “Do you think this is a test? Do you think that you can be favored by Prince An as long as you do things well?”

“Too naive. Later, you will know that today is only the beginning of your miserable life!”

Looking at these newcomers working hard, for some reason, the innkeeper had a sense of superiority again. Although she didn’t get Li Ye’s favor, she was a senior now, and she could look down on the newcomers. This was her experience!

Before the innkeeper could enjoy the female demons’ embarrassment, Duchess’ voice was heard again. “Innkeeper, what are you doing here? Go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. Elder Brother Ye is tired, so he should be hungry!”

“Yes, Duchess. I’ll go right now,” the innkeeper answered immediately. Then she realized that the newcomers were pitiful, but she was not better than them.

“What a miserable life!”

“That damn Duchess! A little devil!”

The demon wolf and the demon jackal quickly caught up with the innkeeper.
