I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 609 Moving into the Palace
"This……"

"Ah this..."

"you……"

Kunpeng was stunned on the spot.

The people he dealt with before were all like Liu Yu.

The emperors of the Celestial Empire valued their status. Even Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from humble backgrounds, were not as shameless as Fan Li!
Get the upper hand?

So despicable!
Shameless!

Kunpeng knew that he was not good at talking. If he let Fan Li continue, the entire demon kingdom might be bullied by him!

"If it doesn't work, find a reason to get him out of here?"

"Otherwise, if Jiufeng doesn't come out for a day, and he stays in the Heavenly Palace for a day, maybe all the twenty-eight constellations will be abducted by him?"

Kunpeng's idea is good, but he speaks too slowly.

I had already thought of it in my mind, but before I could say it out loud, Fan Li's speech next to me started again.

"On the way here, I discussed with Master Demon Master how to deal with the Nine Phoenix [Map of Mountains, Rivers and States]."

"Although my strength is not as strong as that of the Heavenly Emperor Dijun, as the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. It is precisely because of His Majesty Dijun's sacrifice for justice that we have gained valuable experience."

"Your Majesty, I will always remember your kindness!"

"Everyone, I swear to Tiandao Hongjun here!"

"As long as I don't defeat Jiufeng and take back the map of mountains, rivers and states, I will not leave the Demon Clan Heavenly Kingdom!"

"I would rather be a soldier guarding the border and stop the Nine Phoenix Monster from invading the prehistoric world until I die!"

Wow~~~~!

When the demon fairies heard Fan Li swear to the heavens that he would stand together with the entire demon dynasty, they were immediately moved to tears.

Especially since the death of Emperor Jun, the Heavenly Kingdom was without a leader, and they felt like they had lost their backbone.

Fan Li's statement instantly established an image of himself as wise and brave!
His strength is not as good as Liu Yu Tiandi, but his attitude is very good.

The so-called respect for the wise and humble is the style of a benevolent ruler.

"If... His Majesty the Emperor of Jin is willing to stay in our dynasty, that would be great." Such thoughts unconsciously arose in the minds of the demons and fairies.

Kunpeng was completely speechless.

Why does it seem like Fan Li is ahead of me every step of the way?

Could he read minds?
Or maybe, I am really judging others by my own standards?

Unfortunately, the Demon Dynasty was originally a foreign demon tribe that entered the primitive world and had almost no foundation in the mortal world. Kunpeng had no idea about Fan Li's style of doing things in the mortal world.

"Master Demon Master!"

Fan Li shook hands cordially with Kunpeng again.

"Um... Emperor Jin, do you have anything to say?" Kunpeng laughed dryly.

He looked at Fan Li, who had a friendly smile on his face and looked like an old friend. He wanted to slap him, but he also felt that the other party was sincere and trustworthy.

Damn!

What the hell is this contradictory psychology?

"It's just a small matter." Fan Li smiled and said, "I don't have a place to stay in your country, so please ask the demon master to arrange something. Although I am the emperor, I have always advocated frugality since I was on earth. There are only five kinds of dishes and no more than eight sets of clothes for the four seasons."

Such trivial matters as food, clothing, housing and transportation?
Kunpeng originally didn't bother to make things difficult for Fan Li over such matters, but when he thought back on the entire journey, he seemed to have been fooled by Fan Li's words?
If you don't release this breath, you will go astray when practicing.

correct!

Kunpeng suddenly thought of a wicked idea that would both take revenge on Fan Li and alienate the relationship he had just established with the other demons and fairies.

"You are also the ruler of a fairy country. How can you neglect your food and daily life?" Kunpeng suddenly changed his depressed expression and said seriously and solemnly.

"Oh?"

Fan Li looked at Kunpeng with some surprise.

Familiar smell, is there a conspiracy?
"Since the death of the previous emperor, the imperial palace has been empty. This was originally the residence of the emperor. If the Emperor of Jin does not mind, can I temporarily live in the palace?"

what? !

Fan Li really didn't expect that Kunpeng would say such a thing?

Of course, only the Demon Emperors of all generations can live in the Demon Clan’s Imperial Palace.

I am an outsider, how can I have such qualifications? Moreover, for the sake of a little comfort and enjoyment, I actually offended the majesty of the demon clan emperor and trampled on the rules of the demon clan dynasty?
This will incur public outrage!
Fan Li was about to refuse, but Kunpeng said, "The Jin Emperor is of noble status, so this demon master will not arrange for ordinary palace servants to serve him, so as not to be impolite. So I will arrange for the twenty-eight constellations to take turns to serve the Jin Emperor."

Depend on!
Fan Li probably completely understood Kunpeng's thoughts.

He wanted to completely offend the entire Demon Clan Empire, especially the Twenty-Eight Constellations which were the core combat force.

In this way, you can prevent yourself from poaching the demon clan from the Celestial Empire, right?

Although he saw through it, Fan Li was not angry.

After all, it was not a vicious conspiracy involving life and death. From Kunpeng's point of view, it was understandable that he behaved like this.

"Well, if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Fan Li tried to refuse three times, but he couldn't get away with it.

Those demons and fairies who felt that the arrangement was inappropriate were afraid of Kunpeng's power and status and dared not speak out.

So, at Kunpeng's insistence, Fan Li moved into the imperial palace.

"Hum hum!"

"Before the Nine Phoenixes attack, this demon master will watch you become the target of public criticism and be scorned by everyone!"

The twenty-eight constellations were divided into four shifts, with seven people in each shift serving Fan Li, and the shifts changed every three days.

Kunpeng was full of anticipation and ordered his confidants to pay attention to every move in the palace. After the four shifts had been rotated, he would bring the twenty-eight constellations to see him.

"This demon master wants to hear with my own ears how the stars curse and reject Fan Li, hahahaha!"

Time flies and half a month has passed.

All four teams had served Fan Li, completing just one round.

The star-level demon fairies were called to the Demon Master's Mansion to report the situation, and were naturally warmly received by Kunpeng.

"Everyone, I've wronged you these days."

"It is not my intention to let you serve a mere Immortal King. But Fan Li was assigned by Heavenly Dao Hongjun, and even I can do nothing about it. I can only serve you carefully and respectfully."

"It's just that my brothers have suffered, and the emperor's palace has been occupied by outsiders. This is all because of my failure to protect the country. I..."

Kunpeng was trying hard to be emotional, but he found that all the twenty-eight constellations had strange expressions and it seemed that they did not resonate with him at all.

what's the situation?
The speech I prepared for a long time didn't touch their hearts?
"Um, Master Demon Master." Kang Jinlong, the leader of the twenty-eight constellations, stood up and said, "You may have misunderstood. His Majesty the Emperor of Jin is a kind and upright person, especially polite. Although he is temporarily living in the palace of my demon clan, he has not been disrespectful in the slightest. Master Demon Master is worrying too much."

"put……"

Kunpeng almost cursed, but managed to hold it back with great difficulty.

"Fan Li is an outsider. He dared to live in my demon clan's palace. To say he was disrespectful is an understatement. He simply disrespected my status as the demon king. His crime is unforgivable!"

"Kang Jinlong, you actually spoke for an outsider, did you accept some favor from Fan Li?!"

Kunpeng had been on guard for a long time, and perhaps one or two stars were bribed by Fan Li.

But no one expected that Kang Jinlong, the leader of the twenty-eight constellations, would also fall?

Kunpeng cursed in his heart, Kang Jinlong usually looked honest and kind, and even had the demeanor of an elder, but it turned out that he was a hypocrite and a villain who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful!

"Forehead?"

"Master Demon, please don't misunderstand."

"The virtues of His Majesty the Emperor of Jin have been recognized by all of us, the Starry Night Demon Immortals. This is not just Kang Jinlong's opinion."

Kang Jinlong explained sincerely, but Kunpeng was unwilling to believe it.
"You bullshit!"

"Fan Li has no manners and is arrogant. How can he be called a virtuous person?!"

However, Kunpeng seemed to have forgotten that it was he who facilitated Fan Li's move into the demon clan's palace.

"This..." Kang Jinlong shook his head helplessly and simply stepped back, letting other star demon gods speak.

Seeing this, Kuimulang stepped forward and said, "Master Demon, you don't know that since His Majesty the Jin Emperor moved into the palace, he has taken off his imperial robes. He first fasted and bathed, then wore plain clothes and ate vegetarian food. He also offered sacrifices to the late emperor's spirit tablet and cleaned the mourning hall every day."

"Yes, yes!" Mao Riji also said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Jin respects our late emperor so much, which is really touching."

"He also recites scriptures and worships Buddha every day to pray for the soul of the deceased emperor. I heard that the scripture that the Jin emperor recites is the Amitabha Sutra, which was personally taught by a saint of the Western religion!"

"Emperor Jin doesn't even eat or sleep in the main hall."

"He, like the rest of us, only rests and eats in the duty room."

Finally, Kang Jinlong couldn't help but step out again.

He said in a tone of admiration and worship: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Jin is truly a modest gentleman. If the late emperor were still alive, he would definitely make friends with such a charismatic person as the Emperor of Jin!"
