I'll even show you crossdressing men.

That requires being seventeen years old and having reached the level of a demigod.

Because he knew this, he was curious about how Andrei's family would handle this situation, since the contract was with a male and they also preferred male offspring.

"Young Master, you don't need to think about this. Andrei's family has considerable strength, but they can't touch us yet..." Ziqing gently kissed her silly master's neck and whispered.

"Hmm..." Looking down, the battle below had reached its final moment. The top three semifinalists had emerged, and as they expected, they were Lolonaer, Liu Lianxin, and that strange guy.

In this final round, it's Andrei's turn.

In fact, Zi Qing's view was correct. This guy, who wasn't the strongest, actually managed to wear down his opponent and enter the top four by relying on a series of defenses that seemed impenetrable even by legendary spells.

Soon, the person who will be able to meet with Ji Xiuyu will be determined.

This is also the most dangerous time, when anything can happen...

Chapter 266: A World in Turmoil, A Pawn

"Is Madam leaving?" Inside the mage tower, Chu Ying stood behind a window at the top of the tower, looking at the scenery outside, lost in thought.

"Well, I've given all the instructions I needed to. It's time to leave. Perhaps it's better for you if I leave." Completely draped in a long robe, Wuchen, who had only witnessed her stunning beauty, knew that she was doing this for the good of others.

After all, if Chu Ying were to go out in her current state, it would be a minor matter if she brought disaster to the country and its people; the world might even descend into chaos as a result.

It's no wonder that the Chu family left after a certain period of time. Besides their strength, their increasingly beautiful appearance, which grew with time and power, was also an extremely powerful weapon.

If they don't leave, the world might soon belong to the Chu state. This contradicts their goals and their ideas, so leaving seems inevitable.

Even if you can't see her face, just listening to her soft voice is already a unique enjoyment.

This woman, who possessed the charm of a young girl, a married woman, and a mature woman, and whose gentleness was tinged with a hint of allure, was truly the most captivating person he had ever met.

It's a real pity that the previous members of the Chu family all left too early, unlike her, and couldn't see the future.

Even though he is old enough to be her great-grandfather, he still can't help but worship her as a goddess.

The unique charm created by the overlap of her strength, temperament, identity, and mission made him somewhat inclined to relinquish his position as the tower master to her and willingly become a loyal servant.

This kind of charm is irresistible even to someone whose strength has almost reached the pinnacle of this world. If it were anyone else, they would only fall for it even faster.

This is a dangerous yet fatally alluring person, one that is impossible to resist.

I knew in my heart how "dangerous" she was, but I still felt a little reluctant to see her leave.

He was not only reluctant to part with her beauty, but also more so with her current strange state.

Around her, a domain of rules that only gods could use seemed to have formed. Within this domain, their speed of cultivating and comprehending the laws was much faster than before.

Even the bottleneck that had been sealed for so long showed signs of loosening, how could this not excite him? If she could stay any longer, in just six months, he might be able to break through to the realm of a god.

That's a level no one has reached in the Mage Tower for a long time; he's going to make history. Moreover, that level is something that cultivators like him dream of achieving.

Therefore, apart from doing some other things, he spent almost all his time cultivating these past few days.

He knew she would leave, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so soon that he didn't even know what to say to keep her.

“You each have your own destiny. Even if I could help you reach that level ahead of time, it would be disadvantageous for you. As for what your destiny will be, the future will tell. I cannot remain in this place where countless eyes are focused for long, otherwise I will easily be exposed.”

She shook her head, her long white hair swaying gently in the wind, her voice somewhat ethereal, making one momentarily lose their senses.

By the time she recovered, she was nowhere to be seen.

"...Someone come here, I have something to announce..." After she left, Wuchen stood there for a long time. In that instant, the old man reverted to his youth, his white hair turning into a full head of black hair. He was about to get serious.

"It seems it's time to go out into the mortal world and deal with some matters." Solely aiming for the realm of gods was indeed a mistake.

People like Miss Chu Ying, who have a deep attachment to the world yet live freely and tirelessly for it, are the ones who can achieve success so quickly.

He knew, of course, that even ten times his talent couldn't compare to Chu Ying's, but following her path would surely allow him to gain some different insights, right?

He didn't know if his choice was right or wrong, but he was willing to give it a try.

After all, he had spent decades in the tower, so spending another few decades in the world wouldn't be difficult for him.

"Don't wander off." Chu Ying, who seemed to be moving through the air as if stepping on empty space, seemed to sense something, turned around and looked at the mage tower, and said softly.

She came to the mage tower not only because of Ji Xiuyu's problem, but also to convey a message to the world, and to enable this mage tower, which had not been in operation for a long time, to fulfill its proper function.

The dangers ahead are becoming increasingly imminent. She cannot allow Ji Xiuyu to bear such risks alone; the best solution is to bring in more and more people.

"It's foolish to let one person save the world. Only by dragging everyone down into a situation where they will die if they don't save themselves can they play a much bigger role than you can imagine."

“Lolonar, I suppose you think so too…” She lightly touched the air with her toes as she walked, her gaze fixed on another direction, the place where the Scourge of the Undead resided.

How many people know that this so-called cataclysmic disaster was created to force all forces in the world to unite as one?

Once these forces unite, the threat will naturally disappear.

But the crisis that was about to occur was even more terrifying.

"But it's necessary. Too many dangers await us, too many unknowns, too much... terror." The reason Chu Ying did so many things that seemed unrelated to others was simply for Ji Xiuyu.

When Ji Xiuyu began to step into her plan, all these things became connected.

It's like a game of Go; often, until the very last move is made, the opponent can't know the purpose of your previous arrangements.

And once that piece is placed, the world will change.

"This is all I can do. I will use all the efforts you have made to ensure that a generation of the Chu family does not have to leave."

It seems that only she knows what is about to happen in this world, and she has been preparing here all along.

However, she herself didn't know whether these preparations would be useful or not; perhaps she would only know when the day came when they were used.

"I will... do everything in my power to protect you. Don't worry, I won't let your fate end like this... Yan'er, I absolutely won't..." She murmured these words, then teleported away from the place in a few moments.

There are still many arrangements to be made...

P.S.: Since the wig, shoes, and fan haven't arrived yet, this is just a semi-finished product. The finished product will be available later (facepalm).

Chapter 267: Get Lost, You Perverted Foot Fetishist

"Where did these things come from? Is there no clue at all?" On the throne, shrouded in darkness, a tall figure sat, resting his chin on his hand, looking down at the hall below.

The people in the hall all bore a resemblance to the demon king that Ji Xiuyu had encountered in the capital of the Kingdom of Wangquan; they all seemed to be the same kind of people.

That's not wrong. After all, it's the capital of the Demon Realm, the stronghold of all demons. Without exception, everyone here is a demon with extremely strong power and high status. It's normal that Ji Xiuyu encountered the same situation.

"All we know about them is that they are called the Undead, and they are transformed from the dead. As long as there is a corpse or a soul, they can be resurrected without limit. This applies to monsters, insectoids, humans, and even our demon race."

A minotaur-like demon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to report.

"The Undead, humph. If they were truly immortal, the world would have been theirs long ago. They are merely the dead resurrected in another form. Once we find a way, eliminating them would be a piece of cake. You can't even do something this simple? Tell me why? How could they have driven you to this point? Are we demons all deserts? Hmm?"

The Demon King's men were probably extremely dissatisfied with this, as their tone was full of anger and their voices were much louder, directly confronting all the demon nobles.

But they dared not be angry or speak out against the Demon King; they could only nod and agree, unsure of how to respond.

"The main problem is that we haven't found a way to deal with them. If we find their weakness, we should be able to solve the problem quickly, so there's no need to worry about it. I've observed that they only dare to act during the day when shrouded in dark clouds or black fog. They are extremely active at night, and they seem to have an innate fear of sunlight and other light sources. If we can find a way to dispel the black fog and dark clouds, we can easily eliminate them."

If Ji Xiuyu saw the demon speaking, he would be surprised, for it was the same one he had encountered in the Kingdom of Wangquan.

He had been hiding in the crowd and hadn't shown his skills until now, and now he's come out and say this, it feels like he's trying to steal the credit.

"Hmm? To dispel those, one needs at least epic-level power, and it must be an ability related to light. Ironically, we demons also hate this kind of light, as it weakens our strength, so it doesn't exist within our territory. If we want to use it, we must go to the human world and find a suitable person."

"But nowadays, let alone epic-level holy light mages, even epic-level powerhouses are rare. Are you sure you can find one?"

The Demon King watched his son with great interest. In his eyes, this seventh son was far less intelligent than his eldest son, less powerful than his second son, and less capable of standing on his own than his third son. He was usually extremely low-key, so his current performance was truly remarkable.

But didn't they know this? They just confirmed that there wasn't a suitable candidate.

Now that one of you has stepped forward to explain, fine, I'll leave this matter to you. Success will bring benefits, failure will have nothing to do with me, and I can even use this opportunity to do something else.

He's been in this position for so long, how could he be the kind of fool who gets angry easily?

Everything was just a deception, but some people fell for it while others remained unmoved and said nothing.

These seven are truly idiots; they didn't see through my intentions. Or did they see through me, but are they confident they can handle it?

A strange smile appeared on his lips. "Since you think you can solve it, then go ahead and do it."

"Your subject has his own way." Judging from both his answer and his demeanor, he seemed genuinely confident that he could find that person.

"In that case, you'll be in charge of this task. If you succeed, I'll reward you handsomely."

"Yes……"

With the most important matter resolved, the remaining issues were not of great importance, and the council meeting was quickly dissolved.

"Phew, this opportunity wasn't easy to come by." Last time, he almost conquered Wangquan City, but ultimately failed due to trouble at home, missing his chance to make a name for himself. Now that he's taken on this mission, if he completes it, the rewards he can expect will probably exceed what he would have gained if he had actually conquered Wangquan City.

"Young Master, are you really confident?" The person beside him was somewhat uneasy. He knew this prince well; he was strong and intelligent. It was just that he had been suppressed by his elder brother before, which was why he had to hide his talents.

Now is a time of war, the perfect time to accumulate merit and seize the throne. Gaining an advantage now will increase his leverage.

So even if it's extremely difficult, he has to do it. After all, everyone wants that position.

"Why not? They were in the Demon Realm before, so they don't know anything about the human world. I've been there for so long, I should know more than they do. Decades ago, I volunteered to go to the front lines to make arrangements, and they all thought I was deliberately staying away from the political center because I felt I had no chance."

"Actually, this is just something I anticipated would happen in the future, so I made preparations in advance."

"Now it seems that the decades have not been in vain. Everything has begun to proceed as I predicted. Now, all that's missing is one more person."

He swirled the wine in his glass, but showed no smugness. Though his words were full of confidence, he was also very cautious.

"Young master, do you know anyone who can do this?"

His subordinates were relieved to see him like this. But they were even more curious about who he would choose, or who was the qualified sorcerer.

"I can do this myself." When he thought of that person, a pair of beautiful feet flashed through his mind.

Even though the woman in the fiery red dress was his enemy, she had left an indelible impression on him. Moreover, he knew she was from the Chu family, the most powerful family in the world.

Given her previous use of abilities similar to holy light, her inherent attribute should be holy light. Considering her strength, reaching this level is quite normal.

Of course, getting her help is no easy task; I'll have to disguise myself as a human to find her.

"Those feet, and you, are all mine." Beautiful as a work of art, her five toes are as beautiful as pearls, with pink nails and a faint fragrance.

All of this left a very deep impression on him, and if he could, he would even like to play with it for a lifetime.

It's quite peculiar that he, who would never normally be moved, would do this for a human woman.
