“First Elder.” After Di Cang’s attention shifted away from his wife, that handsome face promptly turned hard as he spoke: “Pass my order down, this place will be our base from now on!”
“As you wish.” Cupping his fist, the senior respectfully complies.
Even though there are not many enemies thus far, but the Celestial Realm’s landscape stretches for millions of miles, there’s going to be more coming for sure. Furthermore, they’re only at the outermost stretch of the domain, they haven’t even begun to touch the core area where there are dangers lurking at every turn.
“Also, send a couple of my strongest demon to guard the city gate, I don’t want anyone coming or leaving without my explicit permission.” After saying this, he immediately returns to helping Bai Yan into the city gate.
However, unlike the bustling settlement that he expected of this place, what welcomed the couple was an empty husk that had toppled stalls and a street rolling with dried leaves. Looking at this scene, Di Cang’s expression instantly went black because he’s really starting to question himself.Am I really that horrible that everyone will run before I even get here?
“Di Cang, it seems your reputation is already infamous and far spreading.”
Looking at this depressing sight of decline, Bai Yan’s lips slightly curved upwards while trying not to let her husband notice the little slip up on her face.
“Humph, these people aren’t any better than me if that’s the case.” Narrowing his eyes in with an extremely sour note: “They treated the demonic beasts as food and material, how are they any different? This world is like that, the strong eats the weak. Without strength, one doesn’t have any right to dictate the rules. However…” Turning warm and gentle as he stared down at the woman in his arms, “Whether or not you are weak or strong, you will always be the undisputed one in charge of the Demon Realm.”
Very pleased by those sweet words, Bai Yan didn’t mind being pampered right now, especially when her tummy was starting to show the bump of her child.
“Di Cang, I’m tired…”
“No problem, I’ll find a place so you can rest.”……
Inside the city, the most luxurious place would have to be the city lord’s manor. The only issue was the emptiness of the estate. There are no decorations or supplies left in place after the previous owner fled in haste; as such, Di Cang figured its better to take his wife to a local inn instead where it’s more functionable for now until a acceptable manor could be built atop of the old one.
“Di Cang, I remember you mentioning there is a sizable population of demonic beasts living in this Celestial Realm, is that correct?” she asks while fiddling with her man’s silvery hair.
“Mhmm.”
“Let’s do this then. Announce to all of those demons that they can join us if they wish, and we will rename this place as Demon City to act as a beacon of our influence.”
“That’s easy to do Yan Yan, I’ll go pass the message down to First Elder so he can do it.” Giving the woman a peck on the forehead, his voice was all doting and loving: “You mustn’t stress yourself during this period, the baby and you need to rest so leave everything to me.”
……
Not far from Demon City, there lies a valley which stretches for thousands of miles and was exceptionally dangerous. Nevertheless, two little adorable things are currently cutting through the shrubberies with their swords and carefully pushing forward.
