Tu Shan Honghong was sitting cross-legged under the huge Bitter Love Tree at this moment.

Pink petals fell silently as she closed her eyes, concentrating her mind and suppressing her demonic power, clearly making final preparations for the upcoming battle for the alliance leader.

Her aura was as solid as a mountain, yet it also carried a trace of ethereal Daoist charm that resonated with the Bitter Love Tree.

Qin Chuan appeared silently under the Bitter Love Tree, just a few feet away from Hong Hong, without alerting anyone, like a shadow blending into the wind.

As if by telepathy, the moment he stood still, Honghong's clear, glass-like eyes, filled with both determination and tenderness, slowly opened.

There was no awkwardness or distance from not seeing each other for ten years, only a tacit understanding and comprehension that had settled down without words.

For ten years, they were separated by distance and never met, only exchanging their experiences and perseverance through letters, yet they always walked on the same path.

For the sake of reconciliation between the human and demon races, and to end the hatred and strife that has lasted for countless years.

A bond and affection that transcends friendship and is almost like that of a Daoist couple flows between them in silent eye contact, growing ever more profound.

As the emotions deepened and the atmosphere became delicate, a clear, slightly boastful voice broke the silence:

"Hey! You stinky Qin Chuan! What are you doing here?!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya rushed over with her hands on her hips, followed by Tu Shan Rong Rong, who always had her eyes narrowed and a smile on her face.

Ya Ya called out "stinky Qin Chuan" but her bright eyes and slightly upturned lips betrayed her inner joy.

Tu Shan Rongrong bowed obediently, her voice soft and sweet: "Brother Qin Chuan, it's been a long time."

Her narrowed eyes gleamed with intelligence. Her gaze swept between Qin Chuan and her sister Hong Hong, and she immediately guessed the key point. With a sly smile, she added:

"Oh dear, it seems that Sister Ya Ya has to honor her bet."

Ya Ya reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and pointing at Rong Rong:

"Little Rongrong, what nonsense are you talking about! Who...who's going to lose to him!"

She remembered when Qin Chuan left, she didn't believe he could create a magical artifact technique for the demon race, so she made a bet with him: the loser had to unconditionally grant the winner one request.

When Rongrong pointed it out, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, but deep down, she was also genuinely happy and proud that Qin Chuan had actually done it.

Seeing Ya Ya's awkward expression, Qin Chuan's smile deepened. He first praised Rong Rong, "Rong Rong is getting smarter and smarter."

Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he took out a jade slip from his sleeve that exuded an ancient and eerie aura, handing it to Tu Shan Honghong:

"Honghong, I have not failed you. This is the 'Demon Essence Refining Treasure Technique,' a method I created for the demon race to control treasures."

Honghong took the jade slip, and as her fingertips touched the warm, smooth jade, a powerful flow of information that resonated with the essence of the demon race surged into her sea of ​​consciousness.

Her eyes flashed with an astonishing light, and with her insight, she instantly grasped the groundbreaking nature and immense value of this method.

"I suggest you announce this technique at this Demon Alliance Conference. The Demon Alliance needs not only military force to unite the hearts of all demons, but also prestige."

Qin Chuan continued:

"Honghong, your strength is already that of the top of the four demon emperors. Now, with the addition of the 'Demon Essence Refining Treasure Technique,' which is crucial to the future of the demon race, as supporting evidence, it is enough to convince all the demons present and secure your position as the leader of the demon alliance."

Tu Shan Honghong tightened her grip on the jade slip slightly.

She instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Qin Chuan's actions.

He was not only increasing her personal leverage, but also paving the way for the stability of the entire Demon Alliance and the future development of the Demon Clan.

This painstaking effort, this profound trust and support, filled her with immense gratitude.

She gazed intently at Qin Chuan, all her unspoken words ultimately condensing into a firm and tacit understanding in her eyes.

Between them, the word "thank you" is no longer needed.

Just then, a voice carrying a mocking laugh came:

"Oh dear~ I was wondering why Honghong seemed so restless. It turns out that our 'lover' has finally decided to come back! We've been waiting for ten years, and Honghong has been longing for him so much."

The person who arrived was none other than Cui Yuling, the patriarch of the leech clan and Honghong's closest confidante.

She had a graceful figure and a gentle demeanor that carried the wisdom of a healer. At this moment, she was looking at Qin Chuan and Hong Hong with a smile, her eyes mischievous.

Qin Chuan remained calm.

Honghong's ears turned slightly red, but she did not refute him.

However, Tu Shan Ya Ya, as if a fuse had been lit, immediately jumped out and loudly retorted:

"Sister Ling, what nonsense are you talking about! My sister and this stinky Qin Chuan are just... just good friends! It's not what you think!"

Her tone was urgent, with a hint of panic that she herself didn't realize.

Ya Ya, who longs for a strong yet gentle older sister and harbors a vague affection for Qin Chuan, subconsciously wants to deny this overly intimate relationship.

Looking at Ya Ya's reaction, and then at the unspoken understanding between Hong Hong and Qin Chuan, Cui Yuling's smile became even more subtle, and she drawled out her words:

"Oh? Good friends? That's hard to say..."

"Alright, Ling'er." Honghong spoke up at the right moment, interrupting Cuiyu Ling's teasing, her voice returning to its usual cool tone, "You rushed over, is there something important?"

When serious matters were mentioned, the playful look on Cui Yuling's face instantly vanished, replaced by a serious expression:

“Honghong, just as you predicted, there are indeed some dishonest fellows in our clan. The three male leech demons, led by Cuiyuyu, have been acting suspiciously lately, often using the excuse of gathering herbs or traveling. I had my younger sister Mingluan secretly follow them and discovered that they had contacted a human on several occasions.”

A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she uttered a name:

"That human's name is Jin Renfeng."

Honghong nodded slightly, but her gaze fell on Qin Chuan beside her:

"It's not that I'm a prophet; it's that when Qin Chuan left ten years ago, he reminded me to be wary of the Leech Clan, especially those who might covet the Blood Exchange Technique or collude with other races. He said that if any human is plotting to seize the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan, the Leech Clan's Blood Exchange Technique must be a key part of it."

Cui Yuling suddenly understood, and her gaze towards Qin Chuan held a newfound respect and understanding:

"So it was Honghong's 'good friend' who had foresight. Jin Renfeng is a wolf in sheep's clothing, daring to covet our Leech Clan's secret techniques!"

“Jin Renfeng is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He has long coveted the bloodline power of Dongfang Guyue. Now that I have seriously injured him and the hope of reviving Dongfang Guyue is within reach, he will definitely do whatever it takes to obtain the blood exchange technique.”

Qin Chuan interjected, his tone tinged with coldness:

“The Jade Phoenix is ​​secretly following us, which is extremely risky! Although Jin Renfeng was severely injured by me before, his cultivation foundation is still intact. Once he discovers Miss Phoenix’s presence…”

Qin Chuan didn't finish his sentence, but the danger in it was self-evident.

Cui Yuling's expression changed instantly. She knew that her younger sister was kind-hearted and not particularly strong.

"There's no time to lose!" Qin Chuan decided immediately. "Miss Ling'er, take me to Miss Mingluan right now! We must ensure her safety before she's exposed!"

"I also need to go!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya immediately shouted, showing great interest in dealing with scoundrels like Jin Ren Feng.

"Ya Ya." Qin Chuan looked at her and shook his head. "The Demon Alliance Conference is approaching, and Hong Hong needs help with many matters. You stay and assist your sister. Leave Jin Renfeng to me."

His gaze was both reassuring and trusting.

Ya Ya glanced at her sister, then at Qin Chuan. Although somewhat reluctant, she pouted and agreed.

"Hmph! Fine! You stinky Qin Chuan, you'd better teach that bastard a lesson!"

"Don't worry." Qin Chuan nodded to Honghong and Yaya, then turned to Cui Yuling, "Let's go!"

Without delay, Cui Yuling immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying rapidly towards the Leech Clan's territory.

Qin Chuan's figure flickered, followed closely by a pale blue stream of light, and he instantly disappeared into the territory of Tushan.

Tu Shan Honghong gazed in the direction they had disappeared, clutching the jade slip containing the "Demon Essence Refining Treasure Technique" tightly in her hand, her eyes deep and resolute.

Qin Chuan's return brought not only hope but also new challenges.

She trusted him as much as she trusted the power in her own hands.

The path to reconciliation between humans and demons is fraught with difficulties, but as long as he is by her side, she is fearless.

Chapter 30 The Frustrated Golden Pig

A secluded pavilion, far from Tushan, is shrouded in a deliberately created silence.

Jin Renfeng, dressed in fine clothes, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and chatted amiably with Cui Yuyu opposite him.

Cui Yuyu, the male demon who was frustrated in his career among the leech clan, was looking at Jin Renfeng with an almost obsessive gaze, his words carrying a deliberately ingratiating intimacy.

He took the initiative to approach Jin Renfeng and even tried to touch his hand.

Not far away, the Jade Phoenix, hidden in the dense bushes, held its breath nervously, its clear eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

She was ordered to follow Cui Yuyu, but what she witnessed was completely beyond her comprehension:

The two grown men were behaving intimately, whispering sweet nothings to each other, and Cui Yuyu even showed a shy smile with a hint of flattery that she had never seen before!

"Damn it! Everything's a mess!"

Jin Renfeng roared wildly in his heart, his heart like boiling magma, surging with boundless anger and extreme frustration.

His original plan was flawless: to take advantage of the naivety and kindness of the leech clan's female demons, especially the supposedly easily deceived Jade Little Lotus, to win her heart with sweet words and trick her into revealing the secret blood-changing technique, all without anyone noticing.

This should have been a natural progression!

For some reason, Cui Yuling, the patriarch of the leech clan, has strengthened her control over the clan, especially over the care of the younger members.

Jin Renfeng couldn't even get close to Cuiyu Xiaotan, let alone use his tricks to deceive women!

In desperation, he could only turn his attention to the frustrated and unfulfilled men in the leech clan.

The Leech Tribe is a matrilineal clan with low male status, and many members are dissatisfied with the status quo.

Soon, a male demon named Cui Yuyu came into his view.

However, the results of the investigation made Jin Renfeng feel nauseous.

Because of her long-term exposure to the lower rungs of a matriarchal society, this Cui Yuyu developed a strong misogyny and instead had an unusual interest in men, making her a complete homosexual!

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"

Jin Renfeng felt an unprecedented sense of shame.

How could he, the dignified eldest disciple of Shenhuo Mountain Villa and a future leader of the Dao Alliance, sell his body to a male demon?

This is worse than killing him!

He hesitated, struggled, and countless times wanted to give up this dirty path.

But not long ago, Qin Chuan's severe injury not only damaged his body, but also completely shattered his illusion of calmly making plans, driving him into a desperate situation.
