Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 16: Secret Exploration

"what?"

Li Yang looked blankly at the scene, then suddenly remembered something. She raised her hand and looked down, and sure enough, she saw honeycomb fragments on it...

A buzzing sound filled her scalp. Li Yang, with a bitter face, hid behind Ji Cang. "You tsundere, what do we do?"

Ji Cang picked up the ethereal cat and calmly took a step to the side. "It's not about what we should do, but what you should do."

A purple beetle the size of an eyeball landed silently in front of her. Li Yang clearly saw it raise its rear end and rush over. Without thinking, she immediately started running!

"Aaaaaah, you heartless tsundere!"

Ji Cang glanced at her and said, "You serve me as my servant for seven days, and as your master, I will save you."

"You heartless devil! Don't even think about it!" Li Yang stepped back with his right leg, summoned the Peach Blossom Fan, and with a flick of his wrist, severed the wings of the Purple Spirit Bee.

After all, it was Li Yang who destroyed someone else's home, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to come for revenge. How could she possibly take their life?

Ji Cang raised an eyebrow and looked at the two spirit circles. He hadn't expected the silly girl to have some strength. It was a pity that the water element was the least aggressive, otherwise that fan could have unleashed even greater power.

Seeing his expression, the ethereal cat couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are you really not going to save her?!"

That wretched man, he pulls at his own tail every day! It feels like all its fur is being pulled out!

"She can still fight, right? That silly girl can even use water spiritual power to create a spiritual energy shield to protect herself. So far, I haven't seen her in any danger."

Li Yang wasn't far away, so she naturally heard what he said. That damned arrogant brat! She, Li Yang, would never beg him again!

The ethereal cat sighed. "Since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for making the Demon King act unjustly!"

"My Lord Demon King! I'll show you what to do! I'll control that stinky man, and you can take the opportunity to find the Queen Bee and release a bit of your Demon King aura. Once the Queen Bee knows you're the Demon King, she'll naturally make the swarm of bees stop!"

Li Yang paused for a moment, then nodded secretly.

After a while, the ethereal cat received a reply. Its cat eyes emitted a ghostly light, and it revealed its sharp claws.

"Ah! Ethereal Cat, you're rebelling!"

Hearing the screams, Li Yang glanced over and saw the ethereal cat clinging to Ji Cang's face, its tail wrapped around his neck. The black hair that hadn't been messed up when fighting the white bird was now a chicken coop.

"My Lord Demon King, hurry and find the Queen Bee, I can't hold on much longer."

Li Yang couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, gently fanning away the Purple Spirit Bees that were about to attack with her peach blossom fan, and finally saw the queen bee, who was obviously a size larger.

She twirled her wrist and retracted her fan, releasing a wisp of demonic power from her fingertips in front of the queen bee.

The queen bee blinked her bulging eyes, grabbed Li Yang's fingers with her two small tentacles, sniffed them deeply, and then raised her head, "Demon King?"

Hearing the gentle voice, Li Yang smiled and nodded, "I didn't mean to blow your house away. I'll help you find it. Could you please ask them to stop stinging me?"

“The Purple Spirit Bees dare not, so let them stop.”

After the Purple Spirit Bee finished speaking, the Purple Spirit Bee that had been circling around her actually stopped and returned to the back of the Purple Spirit Bee Queen.

"My Lord Demon King, is there anything we can do to help you?"

Li Yang glanced at Ji Cang, who was still scolding the illusory cat. The way he looked like he wanted to hit him but didn't dare to was just like disciplining his own naughty child.

Li Yang touched her nose. "Could you take me back to your hive? I'm so sorry."

"Wow! The Demon King is going to help us build a new home!"

A swarm of purple spirit bees excitedly circled around her, crowding around her as she walked inside. By the time Li Yang put the purple spirit bees' nest back in its original place, Ji Cang had just finished dealing with the illusory spirit cat.

Ji Cang's expression was somewhat unnatural, especially with the two red, swollen claw marks on his cheekbones. The ethereal cat squatted at his feet, its rear end facing him.

Li Yang suppressed a laugh. "I've taken care of it. Let's go."

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Both the human and the cat snorted coldly. The ethereal cat, wagging its large tail, climbed into Li Yang's arms. "Demon King, I just sensed the aura of the Two-Tailed Fox!"

Li Yang's eyes lit up. "They're here too! Take me there quickly!"

Thinking of Ji Cang, who was still standing to the side with a sour face, the man and the cat exchanged a glance. The ethereal cat whined, "Hey, I found a treasure, are you coming or not!"

Let's be patient with this weirdo who likes to pull its tail a little longer. After all, what if the Demon King's servant leaves and encounters danger while trying to retrieve the two tails?

"Lead the way."

Ji Cang straightened his robes and naturally took the ethereal cat from Li Yang's arms.

Spectral Cat: That wretched Ghost Lord!!!

Ji Cang glanced at Li Yang every now and then. Wasn't this girl usually very talkative? Why was she silent now? Was she still blaming him for not intervening earlier?

After stealing another glance, Li Yang looked at him helplessly, "What?"

“You…” Ji Cang looked away. “It’s nothing.”

"Weird."

Li Yang pursed her lips, then suddenly noticed that the air blowing in front of her was hot. The ethereal cat was walking in front, its colorful tail fur being blown into a mess.

The ethereal cat climbed up for a while before stopping. "We're here!"

Li Yang took two steps forward with a puzzled look and looked down. The scorching heat steamed her face, and at the bottom, the lava was bubbling and steaming.

She had only stood there for two seconds when she was pulled back. Ji Cang grabbed her hand and pulled her back, saying, "Are you crazy? With such low cultivation, you dare to go so far ahead."

Li Yang didn't say anything. The arrogant guy's words were just out of concern for her, and it would be impolite for her to talk back. But... would the tail really be down there? What if it turns out to be a bald tail when it comes back?

Seeing that Li Yang didn't speak, he thought she was scared out of her wits, so he turned to look at the ethereal cat with displeasure, "What good things are down there? If the danger outweighs the benefits, I won't go down."

The ethereal cat felt a little guilty, "Uh..."

Suddenly, a red blob flew out of the lava. With a flap of its lean and sturdy wings, it instantly shot from the bottom of the volcano to the crater.

The Flying Tooth Tiger, with its crimson fur billowing in the wind, covered in a layer of gray armor extending from its back to its limbs, looked majestic and imposing when it raised its head.

"Who comes here? I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass through here..."

"Leave some money for the toll?"

Li Yang regretted it as soon as she finished speaking; this damned conditioned reflex!

Sure enough, Ji Cang looked at Li Yang suspiciously, "You two know each other?"

Li Yang quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, no, I've only heard of this poem."

"Oh, you got it right." Flying Tooth Tiger looked at Li Yang with some surprise. "Since you got it right, you can go down and get the treasure, but the other one..."

Ji Cang immediately had a bad feeling and quickly flew off the ground.

The Flying Teeth Tiger's massive claws missed their mark the next second. It flapped its huge wings and flew into the air. "Kid, you're pretty clever. You didn't answer correctly. You have to beat me before you can pass!"

Ji Cang's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "Come on."

"Hehe." The Flying Tooth Tiger gave him a strange look, then turned and flew towards the crater. Now, the only one at the edge of the crater was Li Yang.

Ji Cang realized the Flying Tooth Tiger's movements and quickly gave chase, shouting, "You brat, get out of the way! It's after you!"

"Huh? Oh my god!"

Li Yang turned around and saw the enlarged tiger's face. The flying tiger opened its mouth to reveal sharp teeth and kicked her heavily with its front paw.
