The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 461 Don’t Come Back

Duchess suddenly frowned. Seeing the female demons cleaning up the courtyard clumsily, she disliked them.

“They’re not cleaning up the courtyard. They knocked over the flowerpots. While they swept the ground, they made the courtyard filled with dust. They’re messing up the courtyard. They can’t do things like this. Elder Brother Ye is curing the wounds, so he needs a quiet and neat environment!”

“You, the one with a flower on your head, can you hold a broom? That’s a broom, not a brush! It’s not for you to paint dragons and snakes on the ground!”

“And you, what are you laughing at? Your mouth is crooked with laughter! Are you trying to pretend to be a ghost and scare me to death so that you can take my place?”

“And you, don’t be lazy. You’ve been catching the sparrow’s feathers for a long time. Do you think you’re catching butterflies?”

“Can you spare me the trouble?”

“Sparrow, stop flapping your wings. Don’t you see your feathers fall to the ground? Are you going to shake all your feathers off so that you can get into my pot and boil yourself?”

The sparrow didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this, the demon bear was stunned for a long time with his mouth wide open. He suddenly realized that he was very lucky that he did not offend this little girl.

He quickly slipped away.

The other demons quietly left the courtyard while looking in horror at the little devil who was making threatening gestures.

As for the demons who were watching, they also left one after another after things calmed down.

…

Early the next morning, the demon bear saw Li Ye off respectfully in a grand way. Li Ye left Panfeng City on a large scale with Wu You and nearly a hundred demons above the Ground Immortal Realm.

When Li Ye entered Panfeng City, there were only Wu You and You Daxiao around him. He faced an uncertain journey with a weak force, like a lonely little boat in the sea. Unexpectedly, he only stayed in Panfeng City for three days. When he left, he had such a large team. The little boat became a giant ship, which made Li Ye feel as if he got rich overnight.

“See you, Prince An. Take care of yourself. Welcome to come again,” the demon bear said with a fake smile, bowing with cupped hands in front of the city gate.

He felt relieved that he got his life back on track after seeing Li Ye off.

Li Ye glanced at the demon bear. When he saw the demon bear’s fake smile, he felt a little uncomfortable. “I’m very satisfied with your warm hospitality. Don’t worry, I’ve made you my friend, and I’ll come again!”

The demon bear looked up in horror.

“Hehe, to tell you the truth, I’m just being polite to you. How can you take it seriously? No one dares to be your friend unless he hates his money or he is tired of living.”

Seeing the demon bear keeping silent, Li Ye said unhappily, “You look as if you don’t want me to come again? I don’t have many friends. You should cherish this honor.”

The Lord bear hastily said, “No, I don’t. Prince An, you can come whenever you like.”

Li Ye looked better now. Patting the demon bear’s shoulder, he said warmly, “Anyhow, I appreciate your kindness. See you again!”

“You can accept my kindness, but it’s not necessary to see again. The best thing I can think of is never to see you again.”

The demon bear suddenly thought of something. He blurted out, “Prince An, what are you going to do?”

Li Ye was stunned and thought for a while. “Step on Macaque Mountain, and fight Macaque King?”

The demon bear widened his eyes. “What if you can’t come back?”

Li Ye paused and slapped the demon bear’s forehead. “What are you talking about?”

The demon bear bowed with cupped hands. “See you, Prince An!”

…

After leaving Panfeng City, Li Ye got on the carriage.

There were beautiful mountains and rivers in the territory of the demon clan. There was a large area of primeval forests and towering mountains. It was a picturesque place.

After walking for a short distance, Li Ye complained that the carriage blocked the view, so he tore down the entire carriage. Then he thought that the bare carriage looked strange and that it was hard to walk, so he left the carriage on the roadside and flew in the air.

Mountains, rivers, and the earth were all under his feet. Li Ye’s mood suddenly brightened.

Smoke curled up from the scattered cottages. Among them, there were mountains in good shape. On the mountains, there were caves made by cultivators, and there were clustered villages and sects. All of these made Li Ye feel fresh and natural.

Nearly a hundred big demons followed behind Li Ye. They flew among clouds, and they had extraordinary momentum.

When the demons in the caves on the mountains saw them, they looked up in horror. The demons with low cultivation didn’t dare to breathe for fear that they would fly down and make trouble.

At noon, Li Ye was hungry. After flying for a while, he saw several hundred demons gathering in a small bustling market. There were many buildings as well. The flags of the restaurant were fluttering in the wind. His eyes brightened, and he immediately flew down.

Unexpectedly, before Li Ye landed, the demons in the market burst into an uproar. Like frightened birds, they fled in all directions by using all kinds of movement techniques. Some vendors who sold magic tools and Dan Pills even had no time to collect the things in front of them. They were scared out of their wits and flew away.

Li Ye landed on the roof of the restaurant. When he saw the chaotic scene, he didn’t react for a long time. He looked back at the sky, wanting to find out why they were so panicked. He wondered if some big demons or monsters were coming.

Since Li Ye was here, if he really met big demons or monsters, he would compete with them. If he had a chance to defeat them, he would definitely get rid of them. It was a good time to establish fame and win reputation, which conformed to Li Ye’s practical needs.

Li Ye looked up at the sky for a long time, but he didn’t find any big demon or monster. He only saw nearly a hundred cultivators above the Ground Immortal Realm gathering in the clouds. Among them, there were two cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm and a cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. They flew over with great momentum, looking like mountain bandits.

Li Ye’s face darkened. It seemed that the demons in the market fled in all directions, not because of other big demons or monsters, but because they feared the demons he brought.

Now that all the demons in the market had run away, the streets were messy, and the restaurants were empty, how could he eat and drink? Li Ye swore in his heart, and then he flew up to the air from the roof. He immediately ordered the demons behind him, “All get away from me!”

As a native of the demon clan, You Daxiao naturally understood the reason for this scene. As he followed Li Ye for a long time, he roughly knew Li Ye’s temperament, so he asked the demon leopard to take the crowd away for five kilometers and followed behind. He, Wu You, and the sparrow flew together with Li Ye.

The demon leopard’s protecting Li Ye this time disgusted the demon bear. The two sides had a lot of conflicts, and now they almost became sworn enemies. Once Li Ye left Panfeng City, the demon leopard couldn’t stay there. After all, the demon bear was the Lord, so if he wanted to deal with the demon leopard regardless of the cost, it would be big trouble.

He had to leave Panfeng City, after all. With Li Ye’s invitation, the demon leopard chose to continue to follow him, but he was no longer in the name of a guard.

For Li Ye, it was a big difference whether or not there was a cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm in the team.

The cultivators above the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm but below the Seven Sages of the demon clan were in the Golden Immortal Realm. They had powerful cultivation. However, there were a few of them in the entire demon clan. They were all famous big demons and took up a place. Many people were watching them. It was unlikely that the Macaque King and the Lion Camel King would send them to assassinate Li Ye.

Therefore, with the demon leopard by his side, Li Ye’s safety was greatly guaranteed.

The territory of the demon clan was wide but sparsely populated. After Li Ye missed the previous large-scale market, he didn’t see any place where he could enjoy a meal for half a day. Although he didn’t feel gloomy, he was not happy.

After Panfeng City, Li Ye changed his attitude. Now he was very relaxed, and he was walking on the road with an attitude of traveling around. He no longer nursed a “deep hatred”—though he didn’t really have a deep hatred previously.

In the end, Li Ye had no choice but to hunt small animals on the mountain and ask You Daxiao to catch fish. When it was dark, he finally got some chickens, rabbits, and fish. He had a good barbecue.

When both the human beings and the demons were eating happily, the sparrow, who was eating a drumstick on the branches, spat out the chicken in his mouth. He was very dissatisfied and muttered to the innkeeper, “Your barbecue is a far cry from cooking in the kitchen. The chicken is inedible!”

The innkeeper glared at the sparrow grumpily. “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it. If you say more, I’ll roast you and eat you!”

The sparrow immediately got angry. “You damn demon fox, how can you talk to me like that, huh? Is there any law or justice? You touch your conscience. Am I wrong? Look at you. You can’t even roast a chicken well. How can you serve His Highness well and make His Highness like you?”

The innkeeper became angry because of embarrassment. She grabbed a dry burning stick and threw it at the sparrow. “Shut up! Will you die if you don’t speak?”

The sparrow flapped its wings, screaming. It barely avoided the flying burning stick and threw the drumstick at the innkeeper. “Damn it! How dare you attack me! I must deal with you today to let you know why the flowers are red!”

Li Ye was annoyed by the sparrow’s twitter. “Do you still want to eat? If you want a quarrel, get out of here!”

“Okay, Your Highness, I’m leaving now.” The sparrow immediately acted as an obedient baby and changed its expression faster than flipping a book. When it flew away, it looked at the innkeeper fiercely. “You damned fox, come and fight me one on one if you have the guts! I’ve been looking forward to avenging your slapping me that night!”

The innkeeper couldn’t control her temper anymore, so she rolled up her sleeves and ran after it. “I’ll pull all your feathers out to go with the wine today!”

“You damned fox! How dare you want to eat my feathers! You’re a freak!”

After they ran far away, You Daxiao asked Li Ye, “Where are you going next? Go directly to Roc Demon Mountain?”

Li Ye laughed. “What are we going to do on Roc Demon Mountain? We’ll go to Macaque Mountain!”

You Daxiao felt that Li Ye might be joking, so he made a joke of it. “Do you want the Macaque King to give you some Magic Treasures and cultivators like the demon bear?”

After that, You Daxiao laughed out loud. He probably felt that he was so humorous that he said such a shameless joke.

However, You Daxiao stopped laughing as he saw Li Ye’s serious expression. Li Ye looked at him in confusion, as if he didn’t understand what he was laughing at.

You Daxiao hesitated for a moment. “You’re not joking, are you?”

Li Ye said with confusion, “Why am I joking?”

You Daxiao fell silent. When he saw Li Ye’s serious look, he felt that Li Ye was a little shameless.

Maybe he was not shameless, but he didn’t want his life.
