I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

"Is that satisfactory?" Bai Qingyu glanced at Xiaolan meaningfully, and Xiaolan quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Divine Phoenix Lady."

Shaking her head, Bai Qingyu flapped her wings and flew into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

My thoughts are different from those of 90% of people.

When they arrived, they all sneered, intending to see Bai Qingyu make a fool of himself, thinking that Bai Qingyu would definitely be killed.

However, Bai Qingyu not only escaped unscathed, but also killed a high-ranking official of the Great Spirit Realm in front of the Human Emperor and the Peak Master of Lingxu Peak, avenging her child and obtaining the Demon Book whose purpose was unknown.

This seems unbelievable to many people.

When did Tianyang Palace become so tolerant of the demon race?

Hongfei's final attitude, in particular, is quite intriguing.

Compared to the silence and confusion of the human sects, the demon race was in an uproar.

Some powerful demons even projected the footage of this "grand spectacle," allowing the lesser demons to witness the scene of the Divine Phoenix Lady causing havoc in the capital. When they saw Bai Qingyu successfully avenge her child and then swagger away in front of the Human Emperor and the powerful human beings, they were all in an uproar.

Feeling both relieved and exhilarated, for a time all the demons in the world, including those in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, were shouting "Goddess Phoenix is ​​mighty!" It was as lively as if the demons were celebrating the New Year.

Besides, all the demon races, regardless of their strength, couldn't help but think about Bai Qingyu while idolizing him.

To become the child of the Divine Phoenix Lady is truly the most wonderful thing in a demon's life.

Look, all he did was get beaten up, and the Divine Phoenix Empress descended upon the capital, interrogating the Emperor in front of him and standing up for her child.

It's truly... something even demons would envy...

How happy and fulfilled I would be if I were the one being bullied, and if I could see the Empress causing a ruckus in the capital for my sake.

As a result, some of the demons lost their composure and cursed at Xiaolan in the scene, saying that she was blind.

That's the Divine Phoenix Goddess! Are you blind? You didn't seize such a good opportunity, and you refused when the Divine Phoenix Goddess wanted to take you as her child.

This is simply...

If you don't want to go, give me the chance! How awful!

I want to go! I want to be the child of the Divine Phoenix Queen!

It's a mix of frustration and envy.

Such a great opportunity was wasted.

Xiao Lan once told Xu Yuanqing that her biggest dream was to become Bai Qingyu's child.

Today, this statement applies to the vast majority of the demon race.

Even some old demons in the Fusion stage couldn't help but shed tears, and then sighed silently.

We've been so cautious and meticulous to get to where we are today, taking each step with utmost care and trepidation. It's been a long and difficult journey to get to where we are today.

If she could be a thousand years younger, she would definitely go to find the Divine Phoenix Lady!

With her by my side, I'm sure I can get a good night's sleep.

For many demons, the desire to become Bai Qingyu's child is not based on Bai Qingyu's current prestige, but on the sense of security he can provide.

Ninety-eight percent of the demon race lack a sense of security. Their status in the world is too low, and cultivators are everywhere. They can be killed at any moment unless they live deep in the mountains. But living in the mountains isn't so good either; there are also internal struggles among the demon race.

Since the incident with the sect, Bai Qingyu's title of "Divine Phoenix" has gradually spread throughout the world. Today's events in the capital have brought her fame to a whole new and terrifying level.

The consensus among all sects in the world regarding her is that it's best to avoid provoking her if possible.

There's no benefit in provoking her; as everyone knows, the Divine Phoenix is ​​very poor.

The rumors circulating outside that Shenhuang is gentle and kind are likely just a facade; deep down, she's a madwoman, a madwoman who would do anything crazy for her child.

I'm not afraid of her being powerful and crazy; what I'm afraid of is that she's both crazy and poor, yet has the ability to take you down with her.

Bai Qingyu had also considered that her reputation would be greatly enhanced after this incident, and that was the effect she wanted.

Keeping a low profile is a good thing, as it prevents people from targeting you, but the matter of the Fate Cult made it impossible for her to remain low-key.

Since I can't keep a low profile, I'll be high-profile to the end, making everyone wary of me. That way, I can still live a carefree and comfortable life.

Bai Qingyu left, and Hongfei bowed to the Emperor and also left.

The emperor felt deeply insulted by what happened today, and, seething with anger, went off to seek pleasure.

Without Bai Qingyu present, several officials behind the Emperor stood up straight, coldly glancing at Xu Yuanqing, and not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark.

"Preceptor Xu, you should take care of yourself."

I don't know what they mean by "take care of yourself" at all. They just said it out of the blue, and they weren't even willing to help collect Xu Yuanlang's body.

Xu Yuanqing didn't speak. He put down his tattered book box, took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Xu Yuanlang's head. Then he took out a needle and thread, squatted down in front of the corpse, placed the head on it, and began to sew it up stitch by stitch from the neck and the severed part of the skull.

Once the skin and flesh are sewn back together, the head is considered reattached.

Xu Yuanlang's actions are intolerable to Heaven and Earth. He betrayed his master and ancestors and even attempted to rebel. He deserves to be beheaded.

I just hope that he can have a complete body after he dies, and that he can live an honest life in his next life.

Xu Yuanqing carried Xu Yuanlang's body down the palace wall and headed out of the capital.

He declined the soldiers who came to help him and carried the adult corpse on his back for more than ten kilometers to the outskirts of the city.

It took some time to dig the pit and bury Xu Yuanlang in it.

There wasn't even a coffin, so Xiao Lan used whatever materials were available and nailed a coffin together while Xu Yuanqing was digging the pit.

Xu Yuanlang's official position was actually quite high, and he obtained it himself.

After death, there is nothing. No one comes to see him off, no one makes any noise, and no one burns paper money for him.

His life ended like this. Sitting in front of his grave, Xu Yuanqing could no longer hold back his emotions and wiped away tears.

A 27-year-old man, standing tall and upright.

Even when he had the fate of the entire country on his shoulders, he never complained about the hardship or fatigue, and he never cried.

At this moment, he was on the verge of tears.

There are only two relatives in the world.

One master, one junior brother.

Now, they are all gone.

The moment he personally beheaded Xu Yuanlang, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

How can I not feel heartbroken? How can I not feel sad?

But what pained him even more was watching Xu Yuanlang continue down the wrong path, step by step.

Xiao Lan stood to the side, at a loss, not knowing how to comfort Xu Yuanqing.

As dusk fell, the capital was filled with laughter and lively chatter, making it seem like a festival.

Xu Yuanqing's emotions finally stabilized. He wiped away a tear and seemed to return to his calm and collected self in just a second.

Sitting on the muddy ground, Xu Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Xiao Lan.

"Why didn't you go back with the Divine Phoenix Lady just now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's expression became complicated. "I just think that this is actually quite good. I'm already very satisfied to be able to see the Divine Phoenix Lady up close. Perhaps I'm really not suited to be her child."

"Besides, if I leave, who will protect you? You're so stupid, what if someone kills you?"

Xu Yuanqing chuckled upon hearing this, "Then I really must thank Miss Xiaolan for her concern."

"Go away, who cares about you? I just don't want to see you get beaten to death."

Xiaolan looked disgusted.

“I have fulfilled all my promises to you, and you have met the Empress in person. Why do you still want to stay? The capital is very dangerous.”

"None of your business. I just want to stay, so what? Can't I ask you to take me to see the Divine Phoenix Lady again?"

"You should just leave." Xu Yuanqing simply lay down on the ground, completely disregarding his image.

With his hands behind his head, he slowly began to speak, "I'm not joking. The capital is really dangerous, especially in the next year."

"I want to do something, I want to change something."

He had barely finished speaking when a small foot in a cloth shoe stepped on his chest.

The fox demon Xiaolan crossed her arms, looking haughty, and said, "What, you look down on me?"

"How could that be?"

"Then why are you kicking me out?"

"I just..."

"Shut your mouth, I'm staying today!"

Xu Yuanqing said no more, having made up his mind.

He will definitely, absolutely will, change this country.

Otherwise, wouldn't Master and Junior Brother have died in vain?

"Hey, aren't you going back?"

"I'm not going back. I'll sleep here tonight."

·

Bai Qingyu also returned to Tongzhou at this time.

She released all the little monsters that Xu Yuanlang controlled along the way; these little monsters were quite pitiful.

The outside world is dangerous, but it's still better than staying by Xu Yuanlang's side.

Xu Yuanlang has gone mad.

I don't know what triggered him to become like this.

"aunt!"

As soon as Bai Qingyu returned home, she transformed back into human form, and the little snake immediately gave her a bear hug.
