Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 92 Perhaps even powerful beings have their little quirks in private...

The Peacock King nodded; he thought so too.

In a battle between people of the same cultivation level, few could defeat Wang Teng; this kid was already in an invincible position from the start.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye allows him to counter any move, while the Sea of ​​Wheels Anomaly gives him the chance to regret and start over.

Even if the Peacock King simply suppressed his cultivation level, while retaining the vision of a great being and control over techniques, he might not necessarily be able to defeat Wang Teng in a head-on confrontation.

This guy is such a scoundrel, yet he's also so important. He gets along so well with the younger generation of the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Yao Guang Holy Land. There are even rumors that he's about to become sworn brothers with the Holy Son of Yao Guang...

Given this formidable talent and intricate network of relationships, it was already predictable that the three families would do everything in their power to protect the growth of a prodigy who had shown favor to their families. Whether it was to reciprocate in the future or to foster relationships among the younger generation, it would ensure the continued stability of their respective family sanctuaries.

The problem is, that's not what the Peacock King asked about.

"What I mean is, romantic love between men and women?" the Peacock King asked directly.

Wang Teng almost couldn't help but complain. This was too direct. He had only met Yan Ruyu three times at most, so being so direct was really inappropriate.

As expected, Yan Ruyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Senior Peacock King, this is probably not appropriate. The human race is treacherous and cunning. They attacked us for the sake of the Imperial Weapon. I will definitely avenge this in the future."

"But Wang Teng didn't compete for the Emperor Weapon, and you also told me that day that it was this kid who spoke up, which made the Ji family hesitate and not attack that Holy Body, right?" Peacock King asked.

He didn't understand matters of the heart, only remembering that he had fought off many female cultivators who relentlessly pursued him back then.

To this day, the Peacock King still knows nothing about it.

He felt that Yan Ruyu and Wang Teng were a good match. Once Wang Teng grew up, he would bind many forces in the Eastern Wilderness to the demon race. Even if they couldn't form an alliance, they would at least coexist peacefully because of Wang Teng's influence.

This is a benefit that even the most outstanding talents of the demon race cannot bring.

Moreover, Wang Teng's talent is truly remarkable!

If they can grow up, they will at least be able to rival the ancient sages in the future.

"I am grateful, but I am not moved by this person," Yan Ruyu said calmly.

She was single-mindedly devoted to the Tao and wanted to become stronger.

Especially after the battle with the Ji family's divine body, she felt more and more that only by becoming strong herself could she change everything.

At the very least, if one's own strength is great enough to activate the Demon Emperor's weapon, then so many demon beings would not have perished.

"Alright then, but this kid is already a prisoner of our demon race. If you want to use him for practice, just find him anytime." The Peacock King nodded and left with Wang Teng with some regret.

After leaving the main hall where Yan Ruyu lived, the Peacock King sighed and said with some disappointment, "You're no good, kid. I told you to show your full strength, but you were holding back. Even my princess couldn't win your heart."

"Is this my problem...?" Wang Teng couldn't help but ask.

If any normal person were to suddenly hear that they were to be introduced to a Daoist partner, their subconscious reaction would be resistance, right?
If this was the case in the more open-minded past, it's even more true in an era like the BeiDou system.

In other words, the Peacock King was a powerful figure who was willing to protect the demon race. In Yan Ruyu's eyes, he was a very reliable senior. Otherwise, Yan Ruyu would probably have refused him very directly.

"If it's not your problem, then it's mine. It's not like I'm the one who's going to become a Daoist couple with the princess," the Peacock King said casually.

He walked with his hands behind his back, leading Wang Teng through this small world. Along the way, all the demons they encountered respectfully bowed to the Peacock King.

The Peacock King was very approachable and nodded to the demons.

As a powerful figure among the demon race, he clearly held immense prestige in this small world.

Other demons not only feared him, but also respected him.

Wang Teng was led to a side hall, which was simply furnished. It had everything that should be there, but nothing that shouldn't be there, just enough to meet the daily living needs of a normal living being.

"You can stay here for the time being. My main hall is right next door. If you need anything, just let me know," the Peacock King said. "I'm going out for a walk to see how that boy, the Holy Body, is getting along with Little Moon from the Ji family. If it's not enough, I'll add fuel to the fire."

Wang Teng really didn't want to criticize someone in front of a powerful figure, but what the Peacock King did was not something a powerful figure would do at all.

When reading the original novel of "Covering the Sky", Wang Teng's impression of the Peacock King was that he was powerful and arrogant, dashing and unrestrained, a kind of knight-errant, who laughed and roamed the Eastern Wilderness and Southern Region. For the sake of the demon race's justice, he did not hesitate to take action against the ancient families. His sense of righteousness soared to the sky.

But why did I get this overwhelming feeling of being a gossipy matchmaker after getting up close to the Peacock King?

“Senior, I’d like to go and see too,” Wang Teng quickly said.

"Little Wang, remember your place. You're still a hostage of our demon race. Stay here and rest assured. Don't worry, without my orders, no one except Yan Ruyu will bother you." The Peacock King patted Wang Teng on the shoulder, reassuring him.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he leisurely left the place.

Wang Teng took a deep breath and told himself, "What others describe is one-sided. Every great being may have some personal preferences, which is normal!"

He observed the side hall for a while, then, feeling somewhat bored, he pushed open the door and left.

To his surprise, not a single demon creature stopped Wang Teng along the way.

On the contrary, some of the demon beings he encountered nodded to Wang Teng upon seeing him.

"Is the evil wind really this simple and honest?" Wang Teng wondered to himself.

Because no one stopped him, Wang Teng enjoyed his tour immensely and saw many creatures of various shapes and sizes.

He also discovered a characteristic: male demon beings all retained some of the demon form, and very few, like the Peacock King, retained a pure human form.

The female demons, on the other hand, all maintained their pure human forms, each shaping their transformed appearance into a graceful and elegant figure, each a stunning beauty.

However, compared to Yan Ruyu, those female demons were far inferior.

To put it bluntly, they have all looks and no substance; their souls can't support their appearance. Their eyes don't match their faces, and they just look strange.

Wang Teng had seen too many of this type in his previous life, so he didn't feel anything.

He continued his journey through the small world, experiencing the customs and traditions of the demon race while also appreciating the traces left by ancient sages in this world.

This also greatly benefited his spiritual practice.

As he walked, he lost his way, immersed in the traces left by ancient sages in this small world, until a slightly surprised call pulled him back to reality.
