Chapter 171: Always by My Side

Published on

When Chu Feng opened his eyes, he found that the golden longsword he had previously tossed aside was now right in front of him.

With a light tap of his fingertip against his forehead, a golden mark floated out. There really was one!

It seemed that what he had just experienced was real.

Following the young man’s instructions, Chu Feng used the golden mark to dispel the sharp sword qi of the Human Emperor Sword. Now, it was merely a sword made from extremely rare materials.

The Human Emperor Sword ranked so highly largely because its owner had been the first Great Emperor of the human race.

A magic weapon nurtured over a Great Emperor’s lifetime…. even a mere fire poker would become a peerless divine weapon.

But after Chu Feng erased all of its sword qi with the golden mark, the Human Emperor Sword fell from a peerless divine weapon to an ordinary magic treasure.

Over the next few days, Chu Feng’s life became extremely routine: meditating to cultivate, heading out to find food, and cooking for the Demon Empress.

However, something puzzled him. Why was every bit of food he found outside chicken?

And all of it was the same kind, too. Eating stewed chicken every day was starting to get tiresome.

So today, Chu Feng decided to switch things up.

“Hmph hmph, roast chicken, roast chicken, I love eating it.”

Under the heat of the flames, the chicken sizzled as fat dripped and crackled.

Once he sprinkled on his special seasoning, a rich aroma instantly filled the air, making one’s appetite surge.

And the Human Emperor Sword, something Chu Feng considered nothing more than a money-burning burden, was now being used by him to skewer a chicken.

If anyone saw this, they would probably clutch their chest in pain and cry out about such a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure.

Before long, the chicken was done roasting.

After cutting it up, Chu Feng brought it over to Su Tiantian.

“Big sister Tiantian, it’s ready.”

Su Tiantian took small bites and praised, “Not bad, little rascal. Since you’re this good at cooking, why not stay by this Empress’s side and cook for me? You won’t be treated poorly.”

“I’d better not, big sister Tiantian. My master is still waiting for me.”

Chu Feng had only come to the demon clan to temporarily avoid trouble.

“That woman can’t teach you anything, little rascal. As long as you stay here with this Empress in the demon clan, you’ll stand above all demons and below only me. Aside from me being able to press you beneath me, no one else will be allowed to.

And if you perform well, this Empress might even reward you with several hundred demon maidens. What do you think?”

The first half of Su Tiantian’s words wasn’t false. If Chu Feng stayed by her side, he would indeed hold such a position. But as for several hundred demon maidens… that would probably be difficult to manage.

The demon clan had a particular trait: the higher the cultivation, the longer the mating duration.

That was why demon kings had so many consorts. One simply couldn’t handle it alone.

With Su Tiantian’s current cultivation, it would last around four days and four nights. If she reached the Demon Ancestor realm, it would extend to seven days and seven nights.

S… several hundred beast-eared girls?!

Clatter—

The chicken bones Chu Feng was gnawing on fell to the ground. Just imagining it….hundreds of beast-eared girls, each with their own style, all calling him “Master”… damn, what should he do? He really wanted to agree.

Seeing the little rascal wavering, Su Tiantian decided to push harder. Charm activated!

“Little rascal, if you choose this Empress, once we return, I’ll immediately have Little Bai acknowledge you as her master. And if you perform well, this Empress joining her… isn’t out of the question.”

Not a single flicker in the little rascal’s eyes escaped her notice. He had been secretly sneaking glances at Little Bai quite a bit lately.

“Th-This…”

Chu Feng barely needed to think. One rabbit-eared girl and one fox-eared girl, lying on the bed, ready for him to take as he pleased.

What should he do? He was beyond excited. His “second master” was already itching to swing the blade.

It had to be said, with Su Tiantian’s peerless beauty combined with her charm, no man could possibly resist.

In truth, it wasn’t just because of her breathtaking looks. After that great dream, something within Chu Feng had changed. He felt as though he had truly lived together with her for a very, very long time.

Especially at the end, when he said “I’ll marry you” to Su Tiantian, that had been his genuine feeling at the time.

Just imagine being pursued for so long by a stunning fox-eared beauty. No matter how cold-hearted someone might be, they would eventually waver.

“I…”

With the charm and the shift in his feelings, Chu Feng was on the verge of losing his resolve. Seizing the moment, Su Tiantian pressed her advantage.

She cupped the young man’s face and locked eyes with him. Her intoxicating breath brushed against his skin, and those golden eyes…once you met them, you couldn’t look away. Chu Feng’s mind instantly grew hazy.

Almost… almost there…

Behind her, Su Tiantian’s fox tail swayed happily.

Just as Chu Feng’s mental defenses were about to collapse, just as he was about to fall completely into her gentle trap—

“And me too! Your Majesty, I want a few hundred demon girls as well!”

The voice rang out loud and clear.

Within the void, Protector Hu was seen kneeling on the ground like a little dog, wagging his tail as he begged.

***

Within the void, the rabbit-eared girl and Xiao Qing quietly observed the scene before them.

Seeing their Empress actually using charm to seduce a human brat….something like this, even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined their Empress had such a side to her.

That’s right. The rabbit-eared girl and Xiao Qing had been secretly observing the whole time. This was also the Empress’s command: to record every detail of these past few days without a single blind spot, not missing even a second, and from multiple perspectives.

The rabbit-eared girl and Xiao Qing were responsible for the recording, while Protector Hu patrolled the perimeter, ensuring that no demonic beasts were allowed to enter the area designated by the Empress.

These past few days had exhausted Protector Hu to death, constantly running about and repeatedly catching Eight-Treasure Chickens to throw into the designated spots.

Finally, today was the last day, and Protector Hu arrived at the rabbit-eared girl and Xiao Qing’s position, feeling a great sense of relief.

“Hey, Protector Hu, the Empress ordered you to patrol. What are you doing here?”

The rabbit-eared girl frowned as she spoke.

“Relax. After my relentless efforts, I’ve successfully finished marking a full circle. As long as any demonic beast smells it, they won’t come in. These past few days have worn me out. I’d rather go fight those humans.”

According to the traditional mindset of the demon race, marking territory meant claiming the land as one’s own by leaving urine around the perimeter. So for the past few days, Protector Hu had been drinking water, peeing, drinking water, peeing—

His bladder was working far beyond its limits.

Watching Protector Hu draw closer, Xiao Qing warned, “Protector Hu, if you come any closer, I won’t mind reporting to the Empress and having you keep that pig company.”

In an instant, Protector Hu’s expression changed drastically. “Haha, I just remembered. I’m not done peeing yet. I’ll be going now.”

But at that very moment, Su Tiantian’s voice rang out. Upon hearing that the Empress intended to reward this human with several hundred demon girls, he too was tempted.

Protector Hu stuck his rear up, lay on the ground, and shouted, “And me too! Your Majesty, I want a few hundred demon girls as well!”

Then, a terrifying spatial force surged forth.

“Ao—!”

With a miserable scream, Protector Hu once again turned into a shooting star.

***

A thunderous roar instantly snapped Chu Feng awake and his eyes regained clarity at once.

“Eh!”

Su Tiantian clicked her tongue. That damned Protector Hu. Once they got back, she would order him castrated!

He had ruined her grand plan!

Was that… Protector Hu’s voice?

Chu Feng felt a bit uncertain, since he hadn’t seen him anywhere.

Seeing the little rascal regain his senses, Su Tiantian let out a sigh. The plan had failed.

However, to her surprise, the young man then said:

“Sister Tiantian, letting me stay by your side forever… I’m afraid I can’t do that, because there are still so many people I care about. But in the future, I will definitely make it so that you can always stay by my side!”
