Yun Qishen

The little tree demon sat on Jiyou's shoulder and asked curiously, "What kind of demon is your king?"

Ji You first raised his eyebrows, then turned his head and said seriously, "You little guy has a lot of questions. The current ruler of the Demon Kingdom is a fox demon. When you meet the king later, you should stop asking random questions. Just answer the king's questions truthfully, understand!"

Jiyou spoke harshly but the little sapling was not afraid of him at all. It nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, big tiger."

In fact, it didn't remember what Jiyou said at all.

Ji You raised his hand and poked the little sapling's head, "Don't call me Big Tiger either. From now on, call me General Ji or General like them."

"Oh." The young tree responded and asked, "What is a general?"

“It’s a position that leads the army into battle.”

"Fighting?" The sapling tilted its head to show that it didn't quite understand.

"It's hard to explain to your little wooden head. You will understand it in the future." Ji You didn't want to waste time talking to it about such things. He felt that this little tree demon was not old enough to know about war. As long as he could protect the Demon Kingdom, the children of the Demon Kingdom would never have to know about the bloody war.

They walked along a slightly flat dirt road for a while and came to the magnificent palace gate that was completely different from the other sandy and broken walls in the city. There was a group of snake soldiers guarding the palace gate. Ji You bent down and put the sapling down. "We have arrived at the palace gate. A special demon will lead you in. I will wait for you here."

The sapling raised its head and looked at the huge palace gate. It was more curious about the scenery inside than it was afraid of the unknown place. It then turned its head and looked at the halberd that was much shorter than the palace gate. "Aren't you going in with me, Mom?"

"I'm not your mother!" Ji You rubbed the branches of the sapling, then stood up straight, crossed his arms across his chest, "My child has grown up and should learn to be independent."

The little sapling pouted and muttered softly, "You just said I was small..."

At this time, a snake demon wearing a four-cornered official hat and a civil servant's robe walked out from the palace gate. He came to Ji You and bowed in greeting, "General Ji, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Snake Officer, I leave it to you."

"Okay." The civil servant snake demon knelt on the ground and motioned the little tree to jump onto his head. "Come on, little tree demon."

The sapling said nothing but jumped onto the snake demon's head. The snake demon straightened up and walked towards the palace gate. Jiyou's figure also gradually disappeared outside the slowly closing palace gate.

Inside the palace, there were green trees and a rushing river. There was no wind or sand at all. Birds were singing and insects were flying. It was a peaceful scene. The stones on the ground were not ordinary stones. They were covered with a layer of colored glaze. The bottom of the river was shining with golden light. That was the golden sand.

The young tree curiously observed its surroundings and even found several trees with equally green leaves and branches. They were jade. To be more precise, they were trees with a jade texture. If you broke off the leaves from them, they would be valuable jadeite.

The snake demon walked with the sapling for a while before arriving in front of the magnificent palace. After climbing up the mountain-like steps and passing through a hidden barrier, the snake demon brought the sapling to the main hall of the Demon Kingdom's palace.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the little tree demon." The snake demon bowed and nodded to the demon king in the main hall. However, the little tree sapling bravely raised its head and looked at the demon on the throne.

"Hmm..." The demon king's voice was quite strong. He motioned the snake official to stand up and said, "Bring it to me."

The sapling then stood on the snake officer's head and followed the snake officer's movement to the front of the demon king. The demon king had a fox head, but only one ear.

"Are you the Demon King?" the sapling asked curiously.

"Heh." The demon king narrowed his fox eyes, "Yes, I am the demon king."

"Big Tiger said the demon king is a fox demon, how come your..."

"rude!"

Before the sapling could finish its words, the snake officer scolded it.

"Hey, it just became a demon, so it's just new to the world. That's all." But the demon king didn't feel offended. He continued to talk to the sapling gently, "Little guy, are you trying to say that I don't look like a fox demon?"

"Yeah." Seeing the little sapling nod, the corners of the demon king's mouth rose a little more, "Have you seen other fox demons?"

"No, but I heard from Big Tiger that foxes have pointy and big ears, but you only have one ear."

"Is it possible that I don't just have one ear, but the other one is injured and broken?" The demon king raised his hand and rubbed the branches of the sapling. "I heard from Jiyou that you used a liquid to heal his wound. Can you let me see what liquid it is?"

The young tree blinked and then vomited on the ground.

"This!" The snake official quickly knelt down and put the sapling on the ground. Just as he was about to stop the sapling's behavior, the demon king reached out to stop him.

"Let it spit."

The young tree vomited for a while, but then it couldn't vomit anything. It raised its head and looked at the demon king beside it and said, "I didn't eat much today, so I can only vomit this much."

"This liquid doesn't smell bad." The snake officer spit out his tongue and sensed the smell in the air.

"After all, this is just tree sap. Take the monster with you and try it." The Monster King gave the snake monster a look, and the snake monster immediately arranged for several guards to bring a wolf monster up.

The sapling looked at the wolf demon, which looked very similar to Guibei.

The wolf demon that was dragged in howled for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty—Ugh!!!"

The guards here grabbed the scimitar and chopped it, directly opening a large hole in the wolf demon's abdomen. Blood immediately flowed out, and the wriggling internal organs could be seen.

The snake official ordered on behalf of the demon king, "Apply it on him."

"Yes." The guards scooped up a handful of mucus and threw it directly on the wolf demon's wound. The wound, which was still bleeding, healed immediately under the liquid until there was no trace left. The wolf demon also stopped howling in pain.

"Your Majesty, look, it's healed!" The snake official was overjoyed.

The demon king was also surprised, "It's really magical, keep going."

Following the order of the demon king, the guards directly cut off the wolf demon's limbs.

"Ah!" The wolf demon howled again.

The demon king held the sapling in his palm and moved away from this bloody place.

After a while, the snake official walked up to the demon king and reported the situation. "Your Majesty, the healing speed is much slower, but it still heals without leaving any trace."

"Take it away and try something else."

"Yes."

The snake officer winked at the guards, and they dragged the wolf demon back out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my sincere repentance! Your Majesty!"

The wolf demon's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his voice begging for mercy became weaker and weaker.

"Pack up all these liquids." The snake officer continued to make arrangements, "You guys go get some containers."

While the snake demons were busy, the demon king was playing with the sapling in his hands. "Thank you very much for saving Jiyou, and thank you for bringing me something useful. Is there anything you want? Just ask." (End of this chapter)
