Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 142 140 Senior Sister, what is that? 62K Please subscribe, the second update will be later

"Is there anything in the Shiwan Mountains?"

Situ Yuan's brain was working fast at this moment, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any valuable clues.

However, Wang Wu was waiting for his answer, so even though he was thinking in his mind, Situ Yuan did not let Wang Wu wait for long. After only two or three seconds, he nodded.

"The Hundred Thousand Mountains are not part of our Great Zhou territory, but they also do not belong to any current country. I don't think Immortal Wang needs to use this kind of thing to trade with me. But since the Immortal has brought it up, then my Nanzhou will definitely fully support the Immortal."

"Of course." He continued with a smile: "The part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains within Yuanzhou can also all belong to the Immortal."

"No, it's the Jitian Palace."

"Of course, of course." Situ Yuan nodded repeatedly, "It belongs to Jitian Palace."

"Don't worry, Immortal. Our Situ family will definitely help you with this matter."

Yuanzhou is really a place with no sense of existence at all. Apart from the abundance of minerals and people, it has no other characteristics.

Oh yes, it also produces monsters, monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Its role for Nanzhou is the same: providing resources, all kinds of resources, naturally including population, from monks to mortals.

In the past, Yuanzhou provided human sacrifices to Nanzhou as a barbarian, but now it provides a lot of help to Nanzhou as a compatriot.

In terms of military and political affairs, Yuanzhou also relied firmly on Nanzhou. If it were not for the decree since the reign of King Mu, Yuanzhou would have merged with Nanzhou long ago.

Before King Mu, there were nearly a hundred states under the Great Zhou, but now there are only thirteen left. The reason is of course that the states before King Mu of Zhou had been annexed by the stronger states.

Before King Mu of Zhou, the heads of local states had extremely broad powers. They were more like vassal states than states.

However, these vassal states would not annex each other through military action, but would use relatively more "civilized" methods.

It was not until the reign of King Mu of Zhou that the central government's control over the local areas was greatly strengthened through a series of measures taken by this wise and capable monarch. Throughout his 300-plus years in power, the majesty of the Zhou emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in all states.

From then on, provincial governors, except for a few states, were directly appointed and dismissed by the emperor.

The highest administrator of Nanzhou, the governor, was directly appointed by the imperial court. Unlike in some other states, he was not always from one or several large families in the state.

The governor of a state is nominally the highest military commander of the state, at least in name only.

"Some slave-catching teams are active in the Shiwan Mountains sometimes." Wang Wu added, "I remember that privately capturing slaves is also illegal in the Great Zhou, right?"

"Of course!" Situ Yuan's expression suddenly became serious. "After I return, I will immediately notify Yuanzhou to deal with this matter seriously. Don't worry, Immortal. From now on, no slave-catching team will be seen in the Shiwan Mountains."

"Haha, thank you very much, Master Situ."

The competition in the audience was very exciting, but Situ Yuan did not focus on it the whole time. Instead, Wang Wu would look over there from time to time and cheer loudly.

Situ Yuan did not notice this matter, it seemed that he selectively ignored it.

The two chatted for a while after that, and Situ Yuan would intentionally or unintentionally turn the conversation to his daughter several times.

Situ Jin and Wang Wu have a pretty good relationship. In Situ Yuan's opinion, if his daughter can successfully hook up with him, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it would be very good.

"Xiao Jin has been missing you a lot these days, and often sends people to inquire about you." Situ Yuan said with a smile, "But since that day, you seem to have disappeared from the world, and there is no trace of you."

First, His Excellency, then the Immortal, and then the Young Hero. As the conversation progressed, Situ Yuan saw that Wang Wu did not seem to be satisfied with the title of 'Immortal', so he changed it to Young Hero.

It can be clearly seen that Wang Wu is most satisfied with this title, much more than the titles of "Your Excellency" and "Shangxian".

"Haha, I went back for some personal matters." Wang Wu replied, and then shouted to the people below: "Hey! Xingyue is great! My wife is amazing!!!"

"Oh..." Situ Yuan smiled and nodded.

After that, they continued chatting for a while. When Situ Yuan found that Wang Wu had lost interest, he stopped trying to get close to him.

The team competition lasts a long time and has a large number of events, divided into track competition and field competition.

When it comes to the field competition stage, a light screen will appear in front of everyone, and the audience can switch to the perspective of any team at any time according to their preferences.

This world is indeed a "science fiction world". The longer Wang Wu stays here and the more things he comes into contact with, the more he is convinced of this.

Even though Tianmang City is one level behind human society, no, Tianmang City is not behind ordinary human cities in terms of urban construction, it is almost at the level of a second-tier strong county.

Wang Wu has not been to other demon cities yet, so he is still very curious about the situation in other demon cities. He is curious about what the situation is like there. Is it the same as Tianmang City? Or is Tianmang City already the pinnacle of demon cities?

Wang Wu thought about this while watching Zhao Xingyue's team. As a monster, he naturally paid more attention to the monster world.

At the same time, Situ Yuan, who was sitting next to him, was thinking about the same thing, something related to the demon clan.

Through the conversation with Wang Wu just now, although Wang Wu did not reveal anything, he still guessed something.

"Is it because of the demon race?"

Situ Yuan was looking at a team on the screen. It was not Zhao Xingyue's team, but a team from his Situ family. He fell into deep thought.

Is there something about the demon race that attracted the Jitian Palace?

But…what could it be?
Humans have been coexisting with demons in this world for many years. They have been living with demons before the first human civilization was established.

They kill each other and prey on each other, but there is no hatred and they can even coexist peacefully.

The demon race has peerless beauty and long lifespans; they never age and are always in their physical prime.

They have strong bodies, and even if they don't practice any skills, they can still fight against the monks with the various "magical powers" they have awakened. Although monsters who don't practice skills will definitely not be able to defeat monks of the same level.

Perhaps a strong body can indeed be called a gift. The bodies of those innate monsters are so strong that they are even strong enough to challenge cultivators who have reached the realm of truth or even broken through delusion.

But that kind of immortality is not it.

It's more like a birth defect, a curse.

Although he would not age, his mind would be corroded and his soul would be infected. Eventually, he would be completely transformed into a demon, and even his soul could not be redeemed, and would be forever trapped in that deformed body.

Having lived together for so long, humans naturally have a good understanding of the demon race. When Situ Yuan was young, he also liked demons, and the demon girls who grew up with him later became his wives.

Even though they were unable to have children, Situ Yuan's love for them did not diminish at all.

Well, sometimes I feel a little tired.

Because his wives were only willing to have sex with him, and he was also unwilling to let others share his burden.

No matter how tired they are, as long as they are happy, all the sweat they shed is worth it.

Even if he is a martial artist who has entered the realm of magic, facing four true realm demons at the same time would inevitably make him exhausted, but at least he can withstand it.

If I were to replace him with a cultivator of the same level, I would probably have to lose half my life.

For humans, monsters are good servants and are also a good choice as partners rather than legal wives, but that's about it.

As for their other uses, they are nothing more than the same as other human beings, as monks, as governing officials, and even as rulers in some small countries.

No, in the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin's queen Daji could also be considered a 'ruler'. Even a big country can have a demon ruler.

But apart from this, there is nothing else.

“Could it be a demon pill?”

Situ Yuan thought about it and thought that perhaps the only valuable product from monsters was the monster pill. However, monster pills were slow to produce and were easy to find. In terms of effect, they were certainly not as good as those from specialized big monsters.

"Or does the Jitian Palace have the means to refine the demon pills into great medicines? That's why...?"

But thinking about the character and personality displayed by Wang Wu, this doesn't seem reasonable.

However, this possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, character and personality can be disguised. And relatively speaking, this inference may even be the closest to the truth.

However, Situ Yuan was not immediately certain, because he was never a person who would jump to conclusions.

After the duel ended, the two men parted ways. Situ Yuan hurried away with the 'Extreme Heavenly Secret' that Wang Wu had given him.

It was already early morning of the next day when the team competition ended. This competition will last for a whole month. During this period, disciples from various sects will gather in Shangxuan Sect, and it will become very lively.

In addition to the monks, there were also mortals who came to watch the fun. Therefore, all the inns in Shangxuan Sect were full, and the accommodation prices rose to the sky. They were already very expensive, and now they became so expensive that even ordinary rich men could not afford to stay there.

Therefore, many people chose to sleep in the wild. After all, the Shangxuan Mountains of the Shangxuan Sect are very vast, people can live everywhere, and there is no danger at all.

No tickets are required to watch the competition in Shangxuan Sect, at least for competitions below the Realm of Realm, which naturally attracts more tourists.

Especially those young people who have a "heart of seeking truth", fantasize that they are undiscovered geniuses, and want to try their luck in Shangxuanzong.

But it’s true that every year there are indeed some pearls hidden in the vast ocean that are discovered and brought into the mountain gate.

Therefore, more people came.

The crowds were even more exaggerated than those in Hedong County. This was what Wang Wu realized when he took Zhao Xingyue to find a place to be intimate.

"Wu, Brother Wu?"

For example, right now, it’s five o’clock in the morning.

The two were engaged in a fierce verbal battle in a dark place that they had finally found and where it seemed that no one was around.

Then a familiar voice sounded.

Zi Yuan had already fainted in the spherical fortress, and the banshees were so angry that they were itching to bite their teeth.

Zhao Xingyue was naturally not as naughty as her, so now was their alone time. But when they were alone, an uninvited guest still broke in.

"Huh? Stepsister?"

Wang Wu pulled his hand away, turned to look at Yao Qing, and his face lit up. "You're here too? I was planning to look for you later, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhao Xingyue adjusted her hair with a red face and nodded to Yao Qing, whose face was also red.

"Fellow Daoist Yao."

"Do you know each other?" Wang Wu looked at Zhao Xingyue beside him again, a little curious.

"I've heard of the name of the number one woman in the Sword Palace." Zhao Xingyue said with a smile, "She is extremely talented and has a great record of success. She even broke through to the late stage of the True Realm last month. She is the favorite disciple of Li Shangxuan, the master of the Sword Palace." As she spoke, she also glanced at Wang Wu with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "I didn't know she was actually your sister, Wulang?"

"I'm your sister now." Wang Wu said with a smile, and then walked to Yao Qing. He wanted to hold her hand and say hello, but he remembered that his hand seemed to have just been...

"Uh, Qingmei, wait a minute."

Wang Wu's figure disappeared in an instant, which made Yao Qing stunned. Then she turned her gaze to Zhao Xingyue, and her face became even redder when she saw her playful eyes.

"Um, sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Yao Qing looked at Zhao Xingyue and said softly.

"Hey, Sister Yao is so polite." Zhao Xingyue's face suddenly lit up with a smile and she nodded at her.

Just as I was about to say something else, Wang Wu had already returned.

“Qingmei!!”

He shouted at Yao Qing, then grabbed his hand, "Do you miss me?"

Since a certain point in time, Yao Qing's brain would easily fail when he was with Wang Wu, and would often go into overheating protection.

After the system went down for a second or two, she lowered her head and stammered a response.

"Um……"

"Oh yes, this is for you." After holding Yao Qing's hand for a while, Wang Wu also took out a ring that he had prepared for her.

As his adopted sister, Yao Qing is naturally qualified to enter Wang Wu's spherical fortress.

Of course, it's another floor.

He specially set up the user permissions, so after being transferred in, she could only stay on that floor and could not actively go to other floors.

Moreover, he did not intend to tell the other party the function of this thing. He just set it up in an emergency and immediately turned it into a spherical fortress.

There is a silver-white ring with a sword engraved on it. Wang Wu put a lot of thought into the shape and color of these rings.

Zhao Xingyue’s ring has a picture of stars and moon, while Shu Niang, Er Niang and San Niang’s are their prototype pictures, realistic versions.

There was originally a Q version, but they preferred the latter, so Wang Wu naturally followed their preferences.

As for Wang Lan, the pattern on her ring was a circle of clouds, also according to her preference, while Ziyuan's was a bird, the bird in her name.

It's not a mandarin duck, it seems to be one of the totems of the Shang Dynasty.

The Shang people worshipped birds. The Xuanniao was the heavenly destiny that gave birth to the Shang Dynasty. In addition to the Xuanniao, they also had various bird totems.

"Here." Handing the ring to Yao Qing, Wang Wu said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know whether you like this pattern or not, so I chose your sword."

Wang Wu's voice was floating in Yao Qing's ears, but Yao Qing's eyes were now completely focused on the ring in his hand.

Extremely strong emotions kept surging in her heart, like she was soaking in a bucket of honey, almost drowning her.

"Wu, Brother Wu...?"

After a long time, Yao Qing slowly raised his head and looked at Wang Wu.

There was a gleam in her eyes, filled with Wang Wu's reflection.

Zhao Xingyue folded her arms on the sides of the man and the demon, looking at Yao Qing, who had completely ignored her, with interest, and the corners of her mouth kept rising.

"What's wrong? Sister?"

Looking at Wang Wu's opening and closing lips, Yao Qing suddenly felt a strong urge in her heart, causing her to lean forward subconsciously, and she almost put it into action.

"No, it's okay. I, I just..." Facing Wang Wu's questioning, when Yao Qing regained his rationality, thinking about the impulses that arose in his heart before, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

"You are such a good brother, Wulang. Look at Xiaoqing's expression. She is about to cry." Zhao Xingyue rescued the flustered Yao Qing in time, and then said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, why don't you try it on first?"

"Um, okay!" Yao Qing nodded immediately in panic.

"Are you really okay?" Wang Wu was a little skeptical and was about to stare at his sister's eyes for a while, but the next second his head was turned away by Zhao Xingyue.

After more than ten seconds, the two separated. By this time, Yao Qing had already put on the ring and his expression had returned to normal.

She had noticed the ring Zhao Xingyue wore on her ring finger a long time ago, and Wang Wu also wore one, so she followed their example and wore the ring on her own ring finger.

"Um...sister." Seeing the position where Yao Qing wore the ring, Wang Wu hesitated for a while, and then said:
"This ring, uh, in my hometown, only married people wear their rings, uh, there."

"But Xiaoqing is not from your hometown, Wulang, so it's okay, right?" At this time, Zhao Xingyue attracted Wang Wu's attention in time and said to him with a smile:
"Since I'm not from your side, Goro, it doesn't matter where I wear it, right?"

"Um, that's right..." Although hesitant, Wang Wu still nodded.

Then he looked at Yao Qing again and found that she had moved the ring to another finger.

Yao Qing smiled and nodded towards Wang Wu, "Thank you for reminding me, brother Wu. I understand."

"Haha, it's okay." Wang Wu shook his hand cheerfully, and then asked, "Qingmei, are you here to participate in the sect competition as well?"

"Yes, I am on stage today, representing the Qingping Sect."

"Then I'll have to go and take a good look at it then." Wang Wu nodded, then thought of something and took out a mobile phone and handed it to Yao Qing.

"This is for you too."

"This is..." Yao Qing glanced at the mobile phone in Wang Wu's hand. She remembered this thing. Wang Wu had taken it out in front of her before.

"It can be used to exchange what we have, no matter how far apart we are. If you need anything, bring this to me and I will come over immediately." Wang Wudao.

Then, he walked up to the other person and said, "Come, I'll teach you how to use it..."

Originally, this morning should have been Zhao Xingyue and Wang Wu's alone time. She watched all night last night, and there was no competition for her today, so she must...

But now, she suddenly had no interest.

She just wanted to see the relationship between Wu Lang and Yao Qing, especially the wonderful expressions on Yao Qing's face when he looked at Wu Lang.

Really, really...

It's really interesting!!!
So, he took Yao Qing and Wang Wu to stroll around Shangxuanzong for a while and had breakfast. During the walk, Wang Wu looked at Zhao Xingyue apologetically, and Zhao Xingyue responded with a light kiss.

When the match started, Yao Qing walked into the stadium, while Wang Wu came to the audience seats.

Situ Yuan didn't come today, and the same duo from yesterday were still sitting in the same seats.

"Well! Today there will be a competition between the top females of the Qingping Sect's Sword Palace!! It's really exciting!!"

“Haha, I heard that the number one girl in the Sword Palace broke through to the late stage of the True Realm a few days ago. The power of her Qingping Sword Art will surely reach a higher level. I wonder how dazzling her sword power will be by then!!”

Listening to the two people chatting, Wang Wu was also quite looking forward to it.

After all, whether Yao Qing’s swordsmanship is strong or not is another matter, but it is indeed good-looking enough.

Wang Wu naturally also prepared a set of skills for his sister, which was definitely stronger than the one he gave to Situ Yuan. The strength of this set of skills was enough for her to cultivate to the level of a third-grade warrior.

But now is not the time to give it to him. He needs to wait a little longer until the reputation of Jitian Palace spreads.

"Sister!!"

Not long after returning to the contestant area, Yao Qing’s junior brother Li Tianxuan came to find him.

"Where have you been, Senior Sister?"

"What's wrong?" Yao Qing took a sip of water. Because she was in a very good mood, a rare smile appeared on her frosty face.

Ever since that incident, my senior sister rarely smiles when she looks at me. Although it was rare in the past, it happens even less now.

Although his senior sister remained as gentle to him as ever without any change, Li Tianxuan could feel that there seemed to be an invisible and intangible barrier between him and his senior sister.

Li Tianxuan's heart twitched because of this, bringing him severe pain that almost crushed his spirit.

But he also knew that he had really disappointed his senior sister too much last time.

He wanted to make amends, but there was nothing he could do.

He is still in confinement, and the only reason he was able to come out this time is to participate in the sect competition.

Even if he participated in the competition, he could not move freely like other disciples of other sects. When there were no competitions, he continued to be confined and under the supervision of the accompanying monks.

"Sister, you..."

Today, seeing the smile on his senior sister's face again, his heart began to beat violently, almost jumping out of his chest.

But at this moment, his eyes also noticed the ring on Yao Qing's ring finger.

"Senior Sister, that is...?"

The moment he saw the ring, his heart suddenly sank.

There is no such thing as engagement rings here, but there are various tokens of love, and rings can also be one of them.

Li Tianxuan saw a sword on the ring, which was the Qingping Sword of his senior sister.

But before Li Tianxuan could see it clearly, the ring had disappeared from his sight.

She quickly took off the ring on her ring finger and put it on another finger.

"A ring, given by an old friend." Yao Qing said very calmly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Although it was fleeting, Li Tianxuan caught it. In addition to the smile, there was also a fleeting panic in the eyes of the senior sister.

"Shi, Senior Sister...?"

After calling Yao Qing again, Li Tianxuan suddenly felt his throat a little dry.
