Chapter 220 Extra·Qi Yuan
"I'll give you extra credits after you finish."
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up instantly. "Great!"
When she was a child, in order to motivate herself, Qi Yuan introduced the term "credits" to Granny Yan, so that she could use it to encourage herself to strive for excellence.
It has to be said that even after more than a decade of being transported here, she still has a mysterious thirst for academic credits.
Once the matter was settled, the Demon King ordered Qi Yuan to go down and select soldiers to fight alongside her. As soon as she left the tent, the Demon King couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Granny Nightmare frowned, "You can't overwork yourself anymore, or your health will suffer..."
“I know,” the Demon King said weakly. “Ever since I took that pill, I knew that day would come sooner or later.”
The time the Demon Queen was captured by Hu Ruifeng, Hu Ruifeng fed her a poison pill to prevent her from escaping.
That kind of poison pill would suppress the demon king's cultivation, so the demon king took the forbidden medicine in order to escape.
She escaped successfully, but she wouldn't live much longer. The banned drug was a poison-on-poison approach, and the combined effect had left her body severely damaged.
"The only thing I want to do is to safely send A Yuan to the position of Demon King. I have wronged her for more than ten years, and I can't let her suffer anymore."
Not even a tiny bit.
Granny Yan's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "Ah Yuan is a sentimental person. If you were to...aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"
In fact, as long as the Demon King rests in peace, his lifespan can still be extended by one or two years.
Although it's not much, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
“After all, A Yuan grew up outside. Without you here, she might be harassed by the courtiers.”
Granny Nightmare tried to use this excuse to persuade the Demon King to try his best to live.
The Demon King smiled gently, "After A Yuan becomes the Demon King, I will travel the world. I hope you will take good care of her for me."
"As for what my mother-in-law is worried about..."
The Demon King touched the area of his dantian. “My demon core contains all my cultivation. Please, Granny, find an excuse to let A Yuan refine it.”
Granny Nightmare's expression changed. For the demon race, the demon core is more important than life itself, as it contains the demon race's cultivation.
Before the elders of large families pass away, they will take out the demon core and leave it for their descendants to refine.
The demon core is even more important to the demon king. A demon king without a demon core cannot be buried in the royal mausoleum.
For the Demon King, this was a symbol of his status.
Granny Nightmare hadn't expected the Demon King to go to such lengths for Qi Yuan, but the Demon King said nonchalantly, "The imperial tomb? I don't care. Rather than being buried there with a bunch of old ghosts, I'd rather find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."
"It's settled then. I'll trouble you, Mother-in-law, to take care of A-Yuan for me."
Having said that, the Demon King straightened his clothes and respectfully bowed to Granny Nightmare.
The old woman did not avoid it; she accepted it, which was tantamount to agreeing to her request.
The Demon King originally thought that the rebels would send a junior general with average cultivation, but on the day of the battle, Qi Yuan's opponent was Hu Ruifeng.
On the high wall, the Demon King's expression changed drastically. He was about to stop Qi Yuan from fighting when he was stopped by Granny Nightmare.
"Let's see, maybe A-Yuan will bring you a surprise."
The Demon King was skeptical, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to believe Granny Nightmare.
On the battlefield, Qi Yuan and Hu Ruifeng stood facing each other. When Hu Ruifeng saw her, his eyes turned red.
This is the child his lover had with another man; it's evidence of his lover's betrayal!
Hu Ruifeng smiled coldly. He wanted to capture this little bastard alive with his own hands and then torture him to death!
He thought Qi Yuan was only at the Nascent Soul stage and would soon be defeated by him, but this girl was slippery and Hu Ruifeng could never catch her.
During the fight, Qi Yuan even provoked him verbally.
"Oh dear, is that all you've got? No wonder my mother looks down on you. Tsk tsk, you can't even catch me~"
"Hey, are you getting angry out of embarrassment? Don't let your anger cause you to choke on your breath. If your army leader dies of anger, what will become of your reputation as a rebel army?"
"If you ask me, you rebels should just change your leader. This guy is no good. He can't even compare to my mother's delicate concubines. How can he lead you to a successful rebellion?"
"..."
The servant standing behind the Demon King: "..."
Are we really that fragile?
I'm so angry! Don't compare us to that despicable person who betrayed the Demon King!
Despite his thoughts, the attendant said softly, "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare some iced drinks for Your Highness so that you can soothe your throat upon your triumphant return."
The Demon King nodded.
"you shut up!"
Hu Ruifeng's eyes were red with anger. What he couldn't stand the most was that someone said the Demon King didn't like him.
Qi Yuan is rebellious by nature, how can you just shut up like that?
"What? Did I hit a sore spot? If you ask me, you're being too petty. Which demon king doesn't have several husbands? My mother has everything she wants, so why should she only have you as her husband?"
"Once I defeat you all, I will definitely find a thousand or eight hundred more handsome men to fill my mother's harem..."
High above the wall, the Demon King sighed and rubbed his forehead, "This child..."
Hu Ruifeng was even angrier, with only one thought in his mind: to kill Qi Yuan to vent his anger. Little did he know that he was being led astray by Qi Yuan.
By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.
"on!"
At Qi Yuan's command, the soldiers she personally selected attacked together. Hu Ruifeng was no match for the many hands, and with the traps carefully prepared by Qi Yuan, he was quickly captured alive by Qi Yuan.
A soldier shouted, "His Highness Qi Yuan has captured the rebel leader alive!"
"A resounding victory in the first battle!"
"The royal army will surely prevail!"
As soon as he shouted, the other soldiers followed suit, and for a moment the shouts resounded through the sky.
The rebels had no legitimate cause to begin with, and because they started the war, they were scorned by the people of the northern demon realm. Now they were completely at a loss.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon King ordered a war. Before long, the rebels were either killed in battle, fled, or captured.
It was thought that this war would last a long time and cause countless deaths and injuries, but the casualty statistics showed that the number of casualties was a hundred times lower than expected!
Qi Yuan escorted Hu Ruifeng into the city with great pride, then threw Hu Ruifeng in front of the Demon King.
"Mother, what should we do with him?"
Last time, the Demon King knelt on the ground in a sorry state, looking up at Hu Ruifeng. This time, their positions have been reversed.
Hu Ruifeng looked up at her, expecting the Demon King to show deep hatred for him, but it was no use.
The Demon King calmly said, "Kill them."
The tone was very flat, as if he were just saying how the weather was today.
After that, she turned and left.
Hu Ruifeng exclaimed in disbelief, "You...you don't hate me? Qi Lingyi, you should hate me!"
The Demon King didn't even stop his footsteps.
Qi Yuan stood aside and kindly explained on his behalf: "What my mother meant was, who do you think you are?"
"Hate must be based on love. My mother is so busy with work, how could she have time to talk about love with you?"
"In your mother's heart, that's all you are."
Qi Yuan held up two fingers and said, "That's about it."
"Ah Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Granny Nightmare scolded, "The Demon King is so busy, how could he possibly give any attention to irrelevant people?"
Hu Ruifeng's expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
