Thinking quickly, the half-Saint from the Demon Race suddenly shouted, “Daring to be rude to Madam, you’re courting death!”
Raising his hand, he sent a wave of Demonic Blood Qi towards Yang Kai. Although this Demonic Blood Qi seemed unremarkable, it was actually incredibly fast and powerful. After all, it was the attack of a Half-Saint, so how could it be underestimated?
Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent and he didn’t dodge.
Just as the Demonic Blood Qi was about to reach him, a jade hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and accurately grabbed the blood-red aura, easily crushing it.
Yu Rumeng shouted, “Yue Sang, don’t be rude!”
The Demon Race Half-Saint called Yue Sang’s eyes went wide as he asked incredulously, “Senior…”
If he had only been suspicious before, then Yu Rumeng’s current attitude was enough to confirm what this human in front of him had just said. Did Madam really have an extraordinary relationship with this lowly human? How was this possible? How could this human obtain the favor of a Demon Saint?
Yue Sang’s heart was filled with rage and he wanted nothing more than to tear Yang Kai to pieces, but with Yu Rumeng’s protection, he had no chance.
Yu Rumeng couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to him, not even bothering to explain herself, simply raising her chin slightly and shouting in a dignified tone, “Get out!”
Yue Sang’s expression became a bit fierce as he glared at Yang Kai for a moment before lowering his head, cupping his fists and leaving.
Staring at his back, Yang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, meeting a love rival as soon as he arrived wasn’t a good sign. If it was an ordinary Demon King, it would have been fine, but a Half-Saint was still quite difficult for him to deal with.
It seemed he had to be more careful of this guy in the future.
Yu Rumeng turned to Yang Kai and said, “The Demon Territory is quite different from the Star Boundary. The people of the Demon Race are straightforward, they don’t have as many twists and turns as you humans. In the future, when I’m not by your side, don’t meet him alone.”
“He dares to kill me?” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
“Did you not see it just now?”
Yang Kai was even more confused, “Why should he? Isn’t he afraid you’ll punish him? Isn’t he one of your subordinates?”
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “The Demon Territory values strength, with strength, everything you do is right. If you are weak, everything you do is wrong. If he kills you, I have no right to punish him. At most, I can only secretly avenge you.”
Yang Kai rolled his eyes and asked, “What if I kill him?”
“As long as you have the ability, you can kill whoever you want.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, his eyes shining as he said, “The weak are prey to the strong, the natural selection is natural, the Demon Territory is indeed a good place.” The fierce environment had given birth to a fierce race, so Yang Kai somewhat understood how the Demon Race’s fearless nature was cultivated.
“Let’s go and settle you down first.”
Saying so, she led Yang Kai towards the palace.
The palace was very large, and the interior was decorated grandly. Along the way, many guards and maidservants bowed to Yang Kai, but all of them looked at him curiously.
In the Demon Territory, a human had suddenly appeared in the palace of a Demon Saint, naturally causing the Demon Race to be extremely surprised, but at least the unpleasant scene from before had disappeared.
Yang Kai followed beside Yu Rumeng and deliberately walked side by side with her, acting all high and mighty.
After walking around for a while, they arrived in front of a garden. Yu Rumeng turned to Yang Kai and asked, “How is this place?”
With his hands behind his back, Yang Kai walked around and found that the environment was quite good and the area was quite large, so he naturally had no objections. Turning to Yu Rumeng, he asked, “Do you also live here?”
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “Do you want me to live here?”
Yang Kai stepped forward and held her hand, saying shamelessly, “If you weren’t by my side, what if that Yue Sang comes looking for trouble again? I’m not his opponent.”
Yu Rumeng glared at him and smiled, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t have the courage to act recklessly in the palace.”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry,” Yang Kai winked at her.
Yu Rumeng grumpily poked his head and withdrew her hand before turning around and saying, “Rest in peace, I’ll come and see you after I’ve settled down.”
“Don’t go!” Yang Kai shouted towards her graceful back, “Why are you leaving before we're done?”
After shouting for a while, Yu Rumeng had already disappeared. Yang Kai stroked his chin and smacked his lips, thinking that it would be better if he just left. If he stayed by Yu Rumeng’s side, it really wouldn’t be convenient.
Turning around, Yang Kai walked into a large hall, casually grabbed a maidservant, and asked about the situation before finding a room to enter.
Ever since he entered the Demon Territory, he had discovered that the World Laws here were somewhat different from those in the Star Boundary, but since they were both Great Worlds, there was no suppression of strength.
However, if he wanted to display his full strength, he would first need to familiarize himself with the Demon Territory’s World Laws, otherwise, if he really wanted to fight with someone, he would be bound.
For the next few days, Yang Kai stayed in his room, trying his best to harmonize his cultivation with the Demon Territory’s World Laws.
These past few days had been quite peaceful. Yu Rumeng had disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where she had gone. Yue Sang had also not come looking for trouble, so just as Yu Rumeng had said, he probably didn’t have the courage to act in this palace.
A few days later, Yang Kai walked out of his room.
After several days of hard work, he had eliminated the adverse effects of the Demon Territory’s World Laws on him, so now it was time to act.
He had not come to the Demon Territory to play around, nor was he free and unfettered. Several Great Emperors had asked him to come and rescue the Bright Moon Great Emperor, and that old man Tian Shu had even said that he had a calamity to deal with in the Demon Territory. If he could survive it, he would soar into the sky. If others were to say such things, they would probably be making irresponsible remarks, but when Tian Shu said such things, it was different.
Yang Kai didn’t know what kind of calamity he would face, but he could only take things one step at a time.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai decided to start with the geography of the Demon Territory. The Demon Territory was a broken mirror made up of countless fragmented continents. He felt that he had to at least figure out which fragment continents were connected to each other, or else even if he found out where Bright Moon Great Emperor was, he wouldn’t be able to go there.
Making up his mind, Yang Kai walked over to the main hall and sat down on a huge chair that could accommodate a person lying on it. This chair seemed to be made from bones, and there were several hideous skull decorations on its back.
Sitting down, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and patted the armrests on his side, feeling a little uncomfortable. He wondered if he should make one like this when he returned to High Heaven Palace in the future, so that he could increase his prestige.
Clearing his throat, Yang Kai called out, “Come here!”
Outside the door, four or five maidservants walked in, all of them lowering their heads, waiting until they were a few dozen meters away before kneeling down.
“Stand up and talk,” Yang Kai raised his hand somewhat awkwardly. Even in High Heaven Palace, he was not interested in this, let alone the Demon Territory.
The maidservants hesitated for a moment before nervously standing up, but all of them lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing, “What are you afraid of? I don’t eat people, just lift your head.”
The several women below all hesitated for a moment before Yang Kai slapped the armrest and asked, “Are all of you deaf?”
Seeing his anger, the maidservants carefully raised their heads.
Sweeping their eyes across the room, Yang Kai was agitated and nearly fell off his chair, staring forward in shock as his stomach churned.
It wasn’t from fear, but from disgust.
Not only were the maidservants all not beautiful, all of them had strange facial features. Some of them had mouths that reached their ears, revealing jagged fangs, some had eyes that bulged out as if they would fall out at any moment, and some even had tiny holes on their faces, like honeycombs…
The only one who was slightly more normal had scars all over her face, making her look like a ferocious earthworm.
What a strange group of maidservants!
Yang Kai knew that there were hundreds of races in the Demon Territory, each of which had their own unique characteristics, but he had never thought that there would be such an ugly Demon Race woman in this world.
Seemingly noticing Yang Kai’s strange expression, the maids quickly lowered their heads.
Yang Kai coughed dryly, the corners of his mouth twitching as he asked, “Which one of you is in charge?”
The maidservant with the hideous scar on her face stepped forward and whispered, “Reporting to the Sir, this servant is.”
Fortunately, this was still normal.
If it were the other women, Yang Kai wouldn’t even be in the mood to speak. He wasn’t someone who judged others by their appearances, but those Demonesses were simply too strange. No one had the courage to speak with them, so after a moment of silence, he said, “I didn’t see any of you when I came here a few days ago.”
A few days ago, when Yu Rumeng had brought him here, he had also seen several maidservants, all of them beautiful like flowers with enchanting figures. How had they changed so drastically today?
The maid replied, “This servant isn’t sure, this servant was transferred here a few days ago.”
Yang Kai frowned, “They were also transferred here a few days ago?”
“Yes.”
Damn it, it was Yu Rumeng’s doing! Yang Kai finally understood that these maidservants had probably been specially transferred here to serve Yang Kai. The maidservants with good figures and pretty faces must have been transferred away.
What kind of person do you take me for! Yang Kai’s anger soared. Yu Rumeng was obviously trying to prevent him from 'stealing food', so she had deliberately arranged for a few women with strange appearances to come here. Such women will have no one looking at them with appetite.
But then again, he had always acted like a lecherous monkey in front of Yu Rumeng, and Yu Rumeng had never let him succeed, so it was inevitable that she would be on guard.
Fortunately, Yang Kai didn’t have such thoughts, so after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and asked, “What’s your name?”
The maidservant called out, “This servant is Xiao Wu!”
“What happened to your face?” Yang Kai asked again.
Xiao Wu whispered, “I made a mistake and was punished.”
Was she actually being punished? Yang Kai thought it was a result of her fight with someone, but he could tell that Xiao Wu was quite beautiful when she was unharmed, but after the many scars on her face, she was completely disfigured. This was undoubtedly a cruel punishment for a woman.
