Refining the body in one night, transforming into a new body in two days.

She only remembered that ever since Xia Zhiming learned the art of nightmare prayer, she could no longer see the cultivation level of this white snake that hung on people every day.

……

In the evening, the sky was filled with colorful clouds, and the reflections on the mountains and forests looked like a fairyland. Xia Zhiming quietly sat on the little girl's shoulder and looked forward. In front of him -

A ruler with a faint glow was suspended in the air, and below it, thirty-six cave demon kings were lying on the ground, holding their heads and trembling. Only one Leopard Weifeng stood beside and couldn't help but sneered - King Weifeng is easy to talk to, just listen carefully.

In front of the grotto, Qing Xin looked at the thirty-six demon kings before him. After a moment's reflection, he spoke softly, "From today on, come and listen to me read the scriptures every day at the hour of Mao or You. Any objections?"

"The ancestor is mighty! The ancestor is righteous!"

Below the stage, before the demon kings could respond, Ying Luan, who had been kneeling for a whole day, was the first to raise his head and respond.

"The ancestor is mighty! The ancestor is righteous!"

"The ancestor is mighty! The ancestor is righteous!"

"The ancestor is mighty! The ancestor is righteous!"

Beside Yingluan, the demon kings reacted quickly and followed suit, shouting loudly, fearing that if they were a step late, the ruler would fall on their heads again.

Xiao Qingxin nodded and continued, "Also, from today on, you are not allowed to eat humans."

"Then what to eat?" a green wolf demon asked stupidly.

Bang! A ruler fell on his head again!

"Ah~ah~ I don't want to eat anymore! I don't want to eat anymore!"

The shrill barking of dogs sounded again, and all the demon kings couldn't help but tremble at the sound. Then Xiao Qingxin's delicate voice warned again: "Anyone with a spirit or intelligence must not be eaten!"

After saying that, the girl no longer cared about the demon kings on the ground, picked up the scripture beside her and began to read -

“The sage does nothing, but teaches without words…”

In the forest, countless birds, beasts, and small demons all poked their heads out, and on the ground, all the demon kings also pretended to listen attentively. As for whether they heard it, it was probably not expected.

After a long time, when Qingxin finally finished chanting the sutra, and when the girl gave an order, the demon kings lying on the ground suddenly turned into black wind and fled in all directions as if they had been pardoned. The wind and sand they raised made the leaves rustle, and startled the birds and beasts in the mountains, making them scream.

"Zhiming, do you think this will work?"

"It's probably useless~"

Xia Zhiming didn't care. He just stretched out his tail to scratch the girl's cheek, then approached her and teased, "Do you take such a great ambition as educating sentient beings seriously?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Qingxin turned her head away and ignored him. She simply put away the scriptures in front of her and put them back into the box. Then she said, "Let's go check on Yingluan. I don't know if he has sent the people back after capturing them."

After saying that, Qing Xin stuffed the box back into the cave, called out to the land god to ask for the location, and then directly made a spell and flew into the air...

A hundred miles away——

On the other side, Ying Luan was severely beaten today and knelt for the whole day. When he limped back to the cave door, he was supported by two little demons at the door and sat back on the stone platform in the cave.

The two little demons saw him like this and began to ask about his well-being. Then they asked:

"My king, what's wrong with you?"

"My king, didn't you go to see King Weifeng?"

"Stop talking!" Yingluan suddenly became furious when he heard what the two little demons said, and then he started to curse:

"Grandpa, I went to look for that leopard demon today, but he tricked me. He actually hid two Taoist priests in his house, and a treasure that looked like a ruler!"

"You don't know that treasure. It hits people on the head, it only hurts but doesn't hurt. That feeling...hiss~"

Speaking of this, Yingluan seemed to recall the beating he received today, and couldn't help but shudder and gasp!

Seeing that their king seemed to be recalling an unpleasant experience, the two little demons smiled and massaged his shoulders and legs, then came up with an idea:

"My lord, since you have a head injury, why don't you eat some brains to replenish your energy today?"

"That's right, my king. It just so happens that you have captured three scholars today. Those brains that can read will definitely be nourished!"

Yingluan smacked his lips as if he was a little greedy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But that little Taoist priest said that we are not allowed to eat humans anymore..."

"My king, if you ate it secretly, how could they know?"

"Yes, my king!"

On the stone platform, Yingluan became a little hesitant when he heard what the two little demons said. The main reason was that the beating he received today was too horrible, otherwise he would really dare!

"Forget it, forget it. Taoist priests are good at fortune-telling. You can chop it up and eat it yourself. Give me something else."

Swish! ! !

Before he finished speaking, Yingluan heard a familiar sound of breaking through the air. He was so startled that he turned his head suddenly and saw a ruler coming straight at his head. He was immediately scared out of his wits and fell to the ground, holding his head, shouting:

"Have mercy! I don't want to eat anymore! I don't want to eat anymore! Grandpa, please have mercy!"

At the entrance of the cave, looking at Ying Luan lying on the ground begging for mercy, the man and the snake looked at each other and were both speechless for a moment.

If you say he is disobedient, he will not eat people. If you say he is obedient, he will be eaten by the little demon!

Chapter 30 Let Me Relax

In the cave, Xia Zhiming saw Ying Luan kneeling down, so he stopped paying attention to this side. He just put his body on the girl and turned to look at the cave.

This cave seems to be a natural cave. As soon as you come in, you can see a staircase with a stone throne on it. There are many passages in the cave. There are many little monsters hiding in each entrance, looking at them eagerly.

Contrary to Xia Zhiming's preconceived notion of a demon's lair, Yingluan's cave was clean and spacious. Although messy, it didn't contain the piles of skeletons he had imagined.

After looking around briefly, Xia Zhiming retracted his gaze, patted Qingxin's cheek with his tail, and said with a smile: "Since you don't follow the right path, why don't you kill them all?"

Qingxin rolled her eyes at him and was about to speak when she heard two shrill cries.

Under Xia Zhiming's unsurprised gaze, the two little demons who had just massaged Yingluan's legs and shoulders knelt straight down and kowtowed, knocking their heads against the ground with a loud bang. All they could hear was the two little demons crying and begging:

"Please spare my life! Please, Master, spare my life!"

"Master, we don't want to eat anymore! Please spare our lives!"

Xiao Qingxin was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak again, she heard countless cries from all over the cave, and saw hundreds of little demons crawling out from the hidden corners.

Bang! Bang! Bang! …

"Master, please spare my life!"

"Mercy! Immortal Master! We won't eat humans anymore!"

"Master, please spare my life!"

Hundreds of little demons knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Some had green faces, some had red faces, some had white faces, some had hairy faces, and some had snake heads. One after another, their faces were so ugly that people couldn't bear to look at them. They kowtowed on the ground, making a loud noise. Even the Eagle King on the ground kowtowed in panic.

In front of all the monsters, Qingxin tilted his head as he looked at this scene - are monsters these days so afraid of death?

On the girl's shoulder, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and then reminded her:

"Qingxin, you become the demon king."

"why?"

"Even if we force them to listen to your sermons and stop eating people, it will usually be useless."

"How to do?"

"Only when you make sure they're well fed will they be willing to seek goodness and pursue that elusive hope of positive enlightenment."

"What if you still don't follow the right path?"

Xia Zhiming stretched out his tail and tapped the girl's cheek, then said with a smile: "Then send her to see the King of Hell."

After saying that, Xia Zhiming looked at the young girl in front of him, quietly waiting for her choice. In the cave, the monsters who also heard Xia Zhiming's words also looked up at the little immortal master in front of them.

After a long while, Qing Xin came back to his senses and stared at the white snake on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhi Ming, Master has a really good eye."

Xia Zhiming was about to speak when he saw the girl walk directly to the throne in the cave and sit down.

The demons below were all delighted when they saw this scene. Even Yingluan breathed a sigh of relief. Then the leader shouted:

"Long live King Qingxin!!!"

The little demons quickly followed—

"Long live King Qingxin!!!"

"Long live King Qingxin!!!"

In the cave, shouts echoed for a hundred miles. On the throne, a man and a snake looked at each other, and then they couldn't help laughing at the same time - this joke of becoming a demon king unexpectedly came true.

After a while, when the monsters in the cave had quieted down, Qing Xin said to Ying Luan, "Go and bring out the three people we captured first."

"Yes!" Yingdi bowed quickly, then led the two little demons into the cave and captured the man.

On the throne, a man and a snake looked down and saw three scholars who were tied up tightly with rags stuffed in their mouths.

"Untie him and send him back." Qing Xin waved her hand without asking any more questions. But Xia Zhiming on her shoulder spoke:

“Those who can read and understand reason are talented.”

"But..." Qingxin hesitated.

"Half a year..." Xia Zhiming reminded.

"That's right~" Xiao Qingxin was immediately happy, nodded repeatedly and said: "Untie them, let me ask."

Below the stage, the little demons did as they were told and untied the three scholars. Then they saw the three scholars stand up, bowing repeatedly, and introducing their names one by one. Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming finally got a clear look at the three of them.

An old scholar with kind eyes, a long white beard, and dressed in white cloth - he called himself Ran Dan.

A middle-aged scholar, born gentle and elegant, with a long black beard and dressed in black cloth - he called himself Zhen Zhongshu.

A young scholar with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, no beard, dressed in a green cloth - he called himself Hong Qidu.

After the three scholars had introduced themselves one by one, Qingxin said, "Would you three gentlemen be willing to work for me... uh... in my Qingxin Cave?"

The three scholars in the audience exchanged glances, and then the scholar who called himself Hong Qidu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a deadline. I have a wife and a young daughter at home and cannot abandon them."

Qing Xin nodded and said, "It only takes half a year."

Below the stage, the three scholars looked at each other and nodded, then bowed and accepted the task.

On the stage, Xiao Qingxin was filled with excitement, but Xia Zhiming didn't dare to say anything. He just turned around and looked at the unconscious little girl beside him with a speechless face...

Chapter 31 Disaster

Even though he had the title of Demon King and three scholars willing to help manage the place, Qing Xin didn't think too much about it. He just said to Ying Luan in the audience, "Go to my cave and get my scriptures."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ying Luan did not refuse. This was the good thing about monsters: whoever had the bigger fist was the king. He responded with a roar and turned into a gust of black wind and left the cave.

In the cave, Qing Xin placed Xia Zhiming on her lap and stroked him twice. Then she asked excitedly, "Zhiming, what should we do next?"

"The first thing is to unify the entire Kutuo Mountain."

"The second thing is to establish a management system."

"The third thing is to let the monsters engage in production."

"The fourth thing is to establish a reward and punishment system."

Xia Zhiming didn't think too much about it, he just thought about it and found a few things for Qingxin to do.

However, Xia Zhiming may have overestimated the girl's cognitive ability in this area. His few words made her confused and speechless for a while.

However, at this time, the three scholars in the audience did make a move. The old scholar Ran Dan was the first to bow and call out "Your Majesty." Then he looked at Xia Zhiming and asked, "Excuse me, who is this person?"

"This is my wife!" Xiao Qingxin didn't think too much and just smiled coquettishly: "Just call her Queen~"

The three scholars were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and bowed with a smile, saying, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Queen! May the Queen be blessed!"

Xia Zhiming didn't really care about the three people's titles. He just said to the three gentlemen who didn't even try to hide: "I don't understand much, so please bear with me."

After saying this, Xia Zhiming bowed to the three gentlemen. The three gentlemen understood everything without saying a word. They all smiled and bowed. Then Hong Qidu stepped forward and said, "I wonder what the king has planned. We can find something to do."

Qing Xin tilted her head: "Then go help me capture all the demon kings?"

Hong Qidu was speechless for a moment, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Please give me a task that does not require the help of mortals like me."

After the words fell, Xia Zhiming almost couldn't help laughing out loud. These three gentlemen didn't even try to hide, only the silly girl Qingxin couldn't recognize them.

Three mortals...clams!!!

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming turned around and snuggled into Qingxin's arms, not wanting to watch this unbearable scene anymore.
