Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 618: Chapter 503: Maybe we should just deliver him to the door_1

A moment later, at the hill closest to the Bashe King Court, Luo Yan crossed her hands over her chest, looking at Li Xuan with a disdainful gaze.

"Favored by the Queen Bashe, are you feeling smug, Li Xuan?"

Li Xuan quickly shook his head, frowning deeply, speaking righteously: "How could that be? What nonsense are you saying? She just wants me for breeding, I’m not into that sort of thing."

In his heart, though, he was somewhat pleased. Any man would be flattered to be liked by a woman, especially a beautiful one.

—— Even though his suitor was currently a bashe, the queen’s human form was wasn’t bad and was quite enticing.

Seeing his decent attitude, Luo Yan’s expression softened slightly: "I thought you were the type who falls for anyone, not caring about what species they were, as long as they show up."

——As far as she knew, this guy was not only into dragons, but also ghosts.

Luo Yan then looked towards the Bashe King Court with a cold snort: "These demons really have no shame. They see a man, and even forget their hatred for their brother’s murder, even speaking out such words. Isn’t she afraid of a rebellion from her subordinates?"

Yu Hongchang frowned: "It really does make one wonder, doesn’t it? This female snake, doesn’t she care about the morale and loyalty of the demons of Tongtian River, and the old members of Bashe Changze? I suspect she has ulterior motives."

She then noticed a peculiar look on Yue Qianqian’s face, and her own expression shifted slightly: "Qianqian, do you have something to say?"

Yue Qianqian hesitated a moment, then blushed as she spoke: "This queen bashe probably just wants to mate with Sir Zhonglangjiang, with no other intentions."

The girls exchanged doubtful glances upon hearing this.

Qianqian continued, "From what I know, the females of the Bashe species have particularly strong reproductive instincts. It’s not surprising if the queen bashe is attracted to Sir Zhonglangjiang. And she probably wouldn’t mind the demons of Tongtian River. The demons respect the strong and worship the powerful."

"If the queen were to kowtow and fawn over Sir Zhonglangjiang, Changze’s old followers would indeed despise her. But if the queen could give birth to Sir Zhonglangjiang’s offspring, they would be very happy. After all, having a talented Demon King could provide protection for hundreds of thousands of demons in Tongtian River Demon Court."

Yu Hongchang and Luo Yan couldn’t help but be astonished upon hearing this.

Jiang Hanyun rest her chin in her hand with a knowing look: "This is possible? But, considering the nature of demons, it could certainly be the case."

Lingxiu’s rational explanation cleared up Li Xuan’s doubts somewhat. He had also suspected that the queen bashe harbored ill intentions.

However, what came next was a shy and nervous explanation from Qianqian: "Nonetheless, bashe reproduction isn’t the same as that of humans. Snake species generally mate for six to ten shichen. It’s said that in the bashe species, according to some bizarre biographies I’ve read, it usually lasts for nine days and nine nights."

Here, she stopped, casting a sideways glance at Li Xuan: "It’s been said that some snakes eat their mates after mating, and the males, after nine days and nine nights of copulation, usually are exhausted. They can be swallowed in one bite."

Li Xuan paled at her words: "Qianqian, why are you looking at me like that? What in the world is that expression? Didn’t I tell you my taste isn’t that profound?"

He cleared his throat lightly, "Let’s talk about business! We need to discuss the current situation and what to do next, why are you all discussing irrelevant things? At present, we’ve lost track of those two, and we can only act on the Bashe King Court. But the situation inside is extremely dangerous. To enter rashly is to fall into a death trap."

Jiang Hanyun strokes her chest where the Six-tailed Spirit Fox lies as she talks: "Lei says it’s dangerous in there, he doesn’t have a specific image, but he sees a lot of blood."

Although she was usually enthusiastic about resolving problems with her fists, she wasn’t reckless.

Qianqian nodded slightly: "From what I understand, The Great Master Lianhuasheng once ventured in. Although in that fight, The Great Master Lianhuasheng slaughtered dozens of bashe, he also returned injured. Now, two thousand years later, it would be even more dangerous."

Each of the girls present frowned, deep in thought about a solution.

Then with a weak tone, Qianqian proposed, "Or, we just surrender Sir Zhonglangjiang to the queen bashe and let her swallow him?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan almost choked on her laughter, a smile flickering in Yu Hongchang’s eyes too.

Meanwhile, Li Xuan gave Qianqian a fierce look, his face stern, thinking that this girl seemed to be picking up some bad habits.

He snorted softly, looking serious: "I’ve thought it over, there’s only one viable strategy now. We can completely seal off the Bashe King Court. They do not want to come out, right? So, we might as well just keep them inside. Unless they hand over the people, they shouldn’t even dream of coming out."

He didn’t believe those demons did not need to eat. Especially those savage beasts that have transformed into demons, they needed a daily intake of blood food.

——Even those vegetarian demons that could ’avoid grains’ still needed to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the vitality of the grass and trees, right?

How many monster species can a Bashe Royal Court support? How much can the Bashe queen sacrifice for those two?

Ten days, fifteen days, or a month?

"A blockade? That’s not easy."

Hesitation showed in Yu Hongshang’s eyes: "Although I don’t know the exact structure of this Bashe Royal Court, I can guess that it must be interconnected with countless entrances and exits. That’s the nature of snakes. But how many are we? Can we block them?"

Li Xuan lightly smiled: "Yes, we can! Had it been before, we definitely couldn’t. But now, don’t we have Lei? In addition, the speed at which Luo Yan and I disappear is enough to cover a hundred miles around. No matter where they come out from, we can arrive on time."

Everyone’s gaze then fell on Lei, the Six-tailed Spirit Fox.

Jiang Hanyun slightly raised her eyebrows, then started to laugh: "If it’s just to sense the trace of those monster cultivators, Lei can handle it."

※※※※

Though they’ve decided to block the door, before this, Li Xuan must sort out the matters at Folun Temple.

Based on the information from the brocade clothed Qianhu Wang Meng, Duogansi Khan has gathered an army in his territory. Possibly within the next couple of days, he will bring the war to their doorstep.

He can’t just turn a blind eye to this matter and sit by while Duogansi Khan annexes Folun Temple.

This matter seemed relatively simple to him and wouldn’t consume much time or energy.

However, when Yue Qianqian used a spell to form a water mirror, and contacted Folun Temple hundreds of miles away, Li Xuan received astonishing news from Wang Meng.

"You say after Duogansi Khan gathered an army of 80,000, he held them at Dege without marching northward?"

"Yes." Wang Meng’s eyes were filled with confusion as well: "It should be said that he originally intended to go north. His general, Shaker had even led 10,000 foot soldiers in that direction. Duogansi Khan had prepared hundreds of thousands of cattle to drive towards Yushu, probably intending them as military provisions.

The latest news from half a day ago was that Duogansi Khan called Shaker back to his Khan Mansion in Dege, with unclear intentions."

Li Xuan frowned and asked, "Could it be that the rumors I asked you to spread had an effect?"

"Not that quickly, since as of yesterday, I just began to implement this plan." Wang Meng shook his head in the water mirror: "Those rumors have not reached their ears yet.

But in the last half day, the Khan Mansion sent out a huge number of communication symbols and swift hawks. That Khan might be contacting allies. My people also learned that Duogansi Khan, though he keeps his army in Dege, sent out a large number of cavalry, prepared to plunder Yushu—"

Li Xuan’s eyes narrowed, interrupting: "So, have the people around Folun Temple been properly placed?"

"Bashinangebazangbu is taking care of it." Wang Meng answered seriously: "We’ve informed all of the surrounding herders. Bashinangebazangbu plans to resettle them in a valley north of Folun Temple. There is a granary there with food enough to support 400,000 people for three months."

Seeing Li Xuan had no more questions, he continued the previous topic: "In addition, the messenger sent by Duogansi Khan had a very strange and hostile attitude. Even I was furious after hearing his remarks."

"Oh?" Li Xuan was somewhat curious: "What did he say?"

"Unpleasant words." Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, but truthfully said: "He said people in the Central Plains have no shame and even dare to show off a pair of homosexuals. What Yangtang Divine Saber, is it against a knife at night?

He also said that the Central Plains people dared to kill the Seventh Dharma King, which is extremely cruel and evil. Khan would wipe out all Jin people in the territory in ten days as retaliation. Also, he will never recognize the current Bashinangebazangbu. In a few days, he will gather all Dharma Kings in the Tibetan area, to discuss this issue."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan laughed instead of being angry: "This envoy is quite bold. It seems he is asking for death, and as a lord, I should fulfill his wish. But our Central Plains custom does not execute envoys, so you chase him away for now, and we will deal with him after understanding the situation."

He then looked thoughtful: "It seems the Khan’s intention is to provoke me?"

"I also think so." Wang Meng said admiringly: "Intimidating with greater strength, then provoking with words, I think that Khan wants to lure you into his Khan Mansion."

Li Xuan thought about it for a moment, then chuckled: "Good idea, but the way he’s going about it is unbelievably stupid. I wonder who gave him this idea and instead helped me inadvertently."

Then, his face became serious, and a strange light appeared in his eyes: "In that case, help me spread a few more messages!"
