As soon as Chu Feng followed the green-haired woman out of the bedchamber, he experienced what it felt like to fly.
Xiao Qing grabbed Chu Feng and shot straight into the sky, with the rabbit-eared girl following closely behind. The Empress had instructed her to keep an eye on this human and not allow any female demons to make a move on him.
After flying for about fifteen minutes, Xiao Qing finally set Chu Feng down on the ground.
“Ugh—!”
The moment he landed, Chu Feng began to retch. Fortunately, he hadn’t eaten breakfast; otherwise, he would’ve thrown up.
The speed of a Seventh-Rank cultivator was simply too fast. Along the way, he felt like his entire body had been shaken into a blur.
“Humans really do have frail bodies.”
Xiao Qing looked at Chu Feng lying on the ground and retching. With the physical strength of the demon race, they never experienced such reactions.
What Xiao Qing didn’t know was that the demons she had carried before had already passed out halfway through the flight. When they reached their destination, she simply tossed them onto the ground to wake them up, so naturally there were no such reactions.
The fact that Chu Feng could endure it without passing out already meant his physique surpassed that of ordinary demons.
“Done throwing up?”
Xiao Qing asked.
“Mm, I feel much better now.”
Chu Feng stood up and wiped his mouth.
“In that case, follow me.”
The place Xiao Qing brought Chu Feng to was within the territory of the Green Snake Clan in the Demon Capital.
As Chu Feng went deeper inside, he saw one monster girl after another with human upper bodies and snake lower bodies. His eyes lit up. This was practically paradise for monster girls!
He quietly took out a recording stone and hurriedly captured everything.
Finally, he arrived at their destination.
“We’re here.”
Xiao Qing stopped and looked toward a large iron pot bubbling vigorously.
Inside the pot was a green liquid, with raging flames burning beneath it.
Looking at the pot, a bad feeling rose in Chu Feng’s heart once again.
Don’t tell me… they want me to jump in and stew myself in that thing?
Facts proved that one should never casually tempt fate, because it tends to come true.
Xiao Qing lifted her chin slightly and gestured. “Human, jump in and first absorb the poison in the liquid.”
Since the Green Snake Clan belongs to the demon race, they also temper their bodies. However, they have their own unique method.
Protector Hu employs the most straightforward and brutal method of body training, whereas the Green Snake Clan boils a pot of toxins from hundreds of poisons. First they cultivate a body immune to all poisons, and only afterwards do they train their qi and blood.
“Y-You really want me to jump in?”
Chu Feng swallowed hard. Could it be that these demons had come up with some poisonous scheme because they wanted to eat him?
He took out a medicinal herb from his storage bag, tore off a leaf, dipped it into the pot and stirred it around, then took it out. His eyes immediately widened.
Holy—! It dissolved into sludge!
Buzz, buzz—
At that moment, a small bee, dark as if it had been drenched in soy sauce, flew over the pot….then dropped straight down.
Th-This is way too terrifying!
“Stop wasting time.”
Seeing that Chu Feng was still hesitating by the pot, Xiao Qing directly grabbed him by the collar and threw him in.
Splash—
“Hiss! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
The moment he entered, Chu Feng didn’t feel any scorching heat. The temperature was just right. But the intense pain from his skin made his face contort. In just a single second, the pain spread from his skin straight to his heart meridians.
“Human, just endure it for one hour.”
Xiao Qing said calmly.
“O-One hour!?”
He didn’t want to stay in there even for a second. The heart-rending pain was simply unbearable!
By the time Xiao Qing fished Chu Feng out, the pain had already left his consciousness hazy.
Seeing Chu Feng in this state, the rabbit-eared girl spoke up, “Green Snake Demon King, this human is deeply favored by the Empress. You should be a bit more measured. The poison in that pot is meant for Fourth-Rank demons, yet this human is only Second-Rank.”
With a wave of Xiao Qing’s hand, the remaining poison on Chu Feng’s body was completely cleared away. She said, “I’m aware. If he truly couldn’t endure it, I would have switched him out. But this human managed to hold on, which surprised me a bit.”

When Chu Feng woke up again, the first thing he saw was a rough face with thick brows and large eyes.
“Hehe, human, you’re awake!”
Protector Hu grinned, baring his teeth.
Chu Feng was immediately startled, but after getting a clear look, “Oh, it’s Protector Hu.”
He let out a sigh of relief. For a moment, he thought he had been captured by that kind of person after waking up. After all, Protector Hu’s build really fit that stereotype.
At the same time, he felt a bit dissatisfied. Why wasn’t it the rabbit-eared girl gently waking him up instead?
“Human, you just came from the Green Snake Clan. Do you still have the strength left to temper your body?”
Protector Hu asked. He had tried the snake clan’s poison broth before. After enduring for a quarter of an hour, the pain became unbearable and he ran out. Yet this human had soaked for an entire hour, which filled him with admiration.
“Of course I do!”
Chu Feng spoke decisively, “No matter what, I have to learn this move!”
Once he mastered it, it would benefit both her and himself.
“Haha, such determination….good!”
Protector Hu brought over the same large stone from yesterday.
“Wait!”
However, when Chu Feng saw that it was Protector Hu picking up the whip, he glanced around and didn’t see the rabbit-eared girl anywhere.
“Where is Sister Rabbit?”
“That rabbit, it seems she received some important news and went to report it to the Rabbit Emperor to handle the matter.”
After bringing Chu Feng here, the rabbit-eared girl received news that someone from the Heaven Devouring Sect had come to negotiate. She then handed Chu Feng over to Protector Hu.
The emperor had only instructed her to keep an eye on things and prevent any female demons from approaching this human. Since Protector Hu was a male demon, she left with peace of mind.
Without Sister Rabbit’s buff, Chu Feng felt that this stone was much heavier than yesterday’s.

Great Yan, Imperial Palace.
After completing a full circulation of the Great Zhou Heavenly Cycle, Bai Yuyan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After two days of recuperation, the true qi within her body had become more solid, no longer as slightly unstable as when she had just emerged from seclusion.
“It’s about time I went to find my junior brother.”
Before going to find her junior brother, she needed to meet Ji Yuhuang first. After all, she still had to borrow the Great Yan Kingdom’s large-scale teleportation array—otherwise, by the time she flew there herself, her junior brother might have already had a whole litter with that fox spirit.
When Bai Yuyan arrived at the entrance of the imperial study, she happened to run into Ji Yuhuang coming out from inside.
Ji Yuhuang looked at Bai Yuyan’s current aura. “Your speed is somewhat beyond my expectations.”
She had originally thought Bai Yuyan would need seven or eight days to adjust her breathing.
“I’m going to my junior brother’s side.”
“Now?”
“Of course!”
Bai Yuyan didn’t want to wait even a moment longer.
However, Ji Yuhuang shook her head. “Wait a bit longer. The situation has changed.”
As she spoke, she handed over the urgent message sent by the scouts today to Bai Yuyan.
The message read: By order of the Demon Empress, the demon race has forbidden any human from entering their territory within the next seven days. At the same time, five Demon King tribes have suddenly begun mobilizing southward.
Bai Yuyan skimmed through it, her brows slightly furrowing. “Such a large-scale mobilization by the demon race….what is that vixen trying to do?”
Five Demon Kings and none of them were newly advanced seventh-rank Demon Kings. All of them were eighth-rank Demon Kings. This level of force was enough to wipe out a first-rate faction.
“I don’t know.. That vixen’s move has already drawn the attention of many forces.”
Ji Yuhuang was worried that if this move by the vixen exposed the fact that her little husband was in demon territory, it would be disastrous.
As for what the major forces in the cultivation world are doing right now?
Answer: They are all searching for where Chu Feng is.
