The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

The group of greasy, obese women showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of the Crown Prince.

Even while carrying a huge steamer, he merely bowed slightly to His Highness the Crown Prince as a gesture of respect.

This is a world for fat people. Both men and women are very fat. Li Hong used to think it was because they secretly ate meat.

Later I learned that these men and women who were busy cooking meat all day long would rather eat bamboo than eat the meat they cooked.

However, they were all really fat.

Li Hong's favorite thing is freshly cooked large chunks of beef. Yun Chu once said that if children eat more of this, they will not only grow taller but also gain lean muscle and strength.

A fat cook used an iron hook to rummage through a huge iron pot, then scooped out a piece of yak rib meat with a good balance of fat and lean. He used a foot-long knife to trim off the yellowish fat on the meat, leaving a piece of beef the size of a human head, neither too fatty nor too tough. Li Hong then used a small iron fork to spear the meat and began to tear at it fiercely, while gesturing to a servant to bring a ladder.

The people had grown accustomed to the guards of the Eastern Palace standing on the wall. These guards could watch, but they were not allowed to freely scoop various kinds of meat from the large pot like the Crown Prince.

They climbed the high wall like stairs, then walked down the crooked locust tree and boarded the carriage.

As Li Hong passed by the polo field, he was munching on beef and watching the women playing polo with their buttocks sticking out on their horses. After watching for a while, he saw Naha strolling over from the other side.

Upon seeing Li Hong, Naha leaned over and tore off a piece of beef from the block that hadn't been contaminated by Li Hong's saliva. As she ate, she asked, "Are you like them, here to see these women's butts?"

Li Hong, with a piece of beef in his mouth, thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "It shouldn't be, what's so interesting about a butt?"

As she spoke, she deliberately went around to look behind Naha, then shook her head and said, "There's nothing to see."

Naha thought so too, so the two of them ate beef as they entered Yun Chu's house.

After watching the Crown Prince enter the Yun family, only Chen Zhi and two elderly nannies followed him into the Yun family.

The Yun family now has nowhere to put their feet; every place that can see sunlight is covered with pure white cotton.

The cotton wasn't very fluffy or white yet. It had to be dried in the sun before going through the cotton-carding workshop again. Only then could the cotton be comparable to the white clouds in the sky.

Yu Xiurong was sitting under the eaves, styling the hair of Li Hong's younger sister, Li Si. The girl had a big head, thin and yellow hair, and she was also vain, spending a lot of time on her hair every day.

Yun Jin and Yun Jin are already able to run around wobbly on the thick cotton mat.

Li Hong tore off a piece of beef from the beef chunks to feed Yun Jin, but Yu Xiurong slapped it away.

"She can't eat this yet."

Li Hong looked at the cotton covering the ground and said, "You call this making money?"

Cui said from the side, "This doesn't even count as making money. Your Highness, could you tell this old woman what kind of business can make money?"

Li Hong looked at the sun in the sky, squinted his eyes and said, "Leading an army of 100,000, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and going on a distant expedition against the barbarians, it wouldn't be difficult to make a hundred thousand or so strings of cash after the battle."

Yu Xiurong looked at Li Hongdao and said, "What, did your father's 500,000 troops earn a million strings of cash for the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Hong looked around and found that he was alone with the Yun family. He nodded and said, "Master Yun once paid one million strings of cash to my father, the Emperor."

Yu Xiurong smiled and said, "That's what he should do to be loyal to his country and protect his home. Besides, he went to fight a war, not to make money."

Seeing that Naha had snatched a large piece of beef from his hand, Li Hong quickly finished the remaining beef, washed his hands and face in the basin of water brought by the servant, and then said to Yu Xiurong, "In short, Father Emperor likes it very much, Mother Empress likes it very much too, and they even drank wine together, which was poison."

Yu Xiurong said, "As long as it's a good thing and makes everyone happy, that's fine, even if he didn't do anything wrong."

Li Hong didn't answer Yu Xiurong's question. He frowned and said to Li Si, "You have a big head and little hair, so don't braid your hair. Otherwise, it will look like a gourd with two ropes hanging on it."

Yu Xiurong's face immediately changed color, and she immediately covered her ears with both hands. Then, Li Si's high-pitched wailing resounded throughout the entire Yun family.

Li Si started crying, and Yun Jin and her brother naturally joined in.

Naha glared fiercely at Li Hong, who looked completely innocent.

Li Hong shrugged and said, "Can't we even speak the truth these days?"

It took Yu Xiurong half a day to settle the three crybabies one by one. The two younger ones were each given a small piece of cake to eat by themselves. As for Li Si, the situation was only brought under control after Yu Xiurong assured her that the Crown Prince was talking nonsense and that Li Si was the most beautiful woman in the world.

"I don't know when Master Yun will be back. Without him, it feels like half the family is gone."

Li Hong shook his head and said, "Let's see if I can come back next autumn."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiurong became anxious and hurriedly said, "Didn't the official gazette just say a couple of days ago that Duke Ying's army had already advanced to the gates of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo?"

Li Hong shook his head and said, "My mother said that if we cannot pacify the former territories of the Three Hans in this battle, the eastern expedition will be considered a failure."

Chapter 370 Boring and Interesting

Karan lowered his head deeply and didn't say a word at this moment.

Not responding? Looks like you're tired of talking to me?

"No, I wouldn't dare."

After a pause, Karan said in a slightly lower voice:

"But, Sage, please... don't bully me too much."

Faced with the unknown, even the Flame Demon Queen, the Demon Lord, placed herself in an exceptionally low position.

Even after many years, there is no so-called advantage of being a woman.

Unconsciously, the voice carried a hint of pleading and an almost imperceptible coquettishness...

Hearing this, the sage laughed, raised an eyebrow, reached out and gently lifted the queen's chin, and said with a smile:

[Bullying you? Well, I won't deny that, after all... isn't it quite fun?]

【You're a queen now, why are you suddenly acting like such a timid woman?】

With his head bowed, Karan's tension eased somewhat, but he remained respectful.

“Before you, I dare not call myself a king.”

[What's there to be afraid of? Even if I were to call myself king, what difference would it make?]

Anyway, it's not bad for me.

it is as expected.

Having interacted with the sage so many times, Karan has gained some understanding of his personality.

The other party is usually quite easy to talk to, unless it's something particularly serious.

Although she couldn't figure out what he was thinking, as long as she didn't cross the line, she was generally not a difficult person to communicate with.

only……

Judging from the conversation just now, the sage seems to already know what happened before and doesn't need to be told again.

Was she always keeping an eye on her clients? Or was she actually watching from the scene the whole time?

If it's the latter, then the other person really has a twisted sense of humor.

Whatever the truth may be, the divine scroll maker was indeed favored and watched over by the sage.

The man they had never met was not lying.

Or rather, the fact that the other party possesses the means to summon him is enough to explain the situation.

Demons are more than willing to answer any call to fight and kill in places beyond the abyss, regardless of who the enemy is.

Even legendary demons will respond positively to legendary spells that can summon them.

The demon lords were not surprised. Since their main bodies were not usually able to leave their own plane, it was a pleasant experience for them to use their avatars to go to other planes when summoned.

Therefore, Kalan responded to the call that was very clear to him.

I thought he was a legendary demon spellcaster who wanted to show off his power.

Then they encountered such a special guy.

...Speechless.

Why don't you just come up and introduce yourself?

They insisted on waiting until I finished speaking before replying, and didn't give me a chance to respond at all.

That chosen one doesn't seem to be a good person either.

What are you thinking about?

Upon hearing the sage's question, Kalan stopped thinking about how to get along with the "chosen one" and looked at the smiling sage.

Karan knew exactly what to do at this point.

Without offering any explanation or speaking ill of the person who had been asked to write the answer, she simply made one move.

"It's not an important matter."

Bowing his head deeply, almost prostrate on the ground, Kalan kissed the sage's toes once more, humbly saying:

"I will always be your most loyal servant."

At this point, all you need to do is express your opinion.

How to handle this matter is her responsibility, not something she should propose herself.

【……Yeah.】

As if he had lost interest in Karan's actions, some of the pleasure in the sage's voice faded, but he certainly didn't continue teasing him.

Okay, that's settled then... So, besides this, is there anything else you need to tell me?

"I have a request."

"I would like to ask you to pass this on to him."

Taking a dark red scale armor piece from his robes, Kalan respectfully held it up with both hands and bowed his head, saying:

"As long as he has this when he sets up the summoning circle, I will definitely respond to his call."

"Definitely."

He smiled and took the scales from her hand.

Hehe, I'll pass it on to him.

……

……

With a light laugh, Ning Feng toyed with the dark red scales in his hand, sensing the special power contained within them.

"What an interesting response."
