"Haha~ If Miss Ruohua is satisfied, can I retire now?"
While Yang Hong was still stunned, Ao Deju burst into laughter and took the opportunity to throw an arm around Yang Hong's shoulders.
Judging by how hard he was trying, he was clearly worried Yang Hong would run away.
"Fine. You can scram."
Feng Ruhuah, the woman in the phoenix robe, glanced disdainfully at Ao Deju and slightly lifted her chin, giving her consent.
"Wait? Aren't you going to ask my opinion?"
Yang Hong finally reacted, shrugged, and broke free from Ao Deju's embrace.
"Miss, I'm not familiar with this dragon. I was tricked into coming here by him."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you're a bear demon and can lay eggs with me,
and you are indeed very handsome, I'm very satisfied!"
Feng Ruhuah imperiously interrupted Yang Hong's opinion with a wave of her hand.
"..."
Yang Hong was rendered speechless again. He looked around. There were 180 demon races on the deck of the giant ship, including 24 eighth-tier demon lords. The lowest cultivation among the rest was sixth-tier demon king.
Escaping from so many demons would be extremely difficult.
"Hmph~"
A soft snort reached Yang Hong's ears, and he froze instantly.
Most terrifyingly, in the lower deck of the giant ship, Yang Hong sensed a powerful aura far exceeding that of an eighth-tier demon lord.
This giant ship actually had a ninth-tier Mahayana realm demon emperor presiding over it.
Yang Hong's face instantly turned pale.
It's over!
He had walked into the wolf's den and the tiger's mouth.
No, that's not right.
It should be the dragon's den and the phoenix's mouth.
"Handsome, what race are you?"
Just as Yang Hong stood rigid, Feng Ruhuah walked up to him and, with her delicate hands like jade, lifted Yang Hong's chin and examined him closely.
"I, I am of the Lingming Ape race.
Miss, please let me go. I have a wife and children at home, so we are not suitable."
Yang Hong, using the race he had just overheard, fabricated a story.
"Hehe~ Very good..."
"Slap~"
Just as Yang Hong let out a sigh of relief, Feng Ruhuah slapped him without warning.
"You lied. Your virgin essence is intact, so you couldn't possibly have children.
Also, if you have a wife, tell me where she is.
I'll send someone to kill her!"
"..."
Yang Hong was stunned again, a "WTF" replaying endlessly in his mind.
Are all women of the phoenix race this overbearing?
"Hehe~ Fellow Daoist of the Lingming Ape race, I haven't even asked your name yet.
Alas~ Never mind, your name doesn't matter.
This is your reward. From now on, Miss Feng will be yours.
Hahaha~~"
Ao Deju, taking advantage of Yang Hong's daze, once again put his arm around Yang Hong's shoulder and forcibly stuffed a storage bag into his arms.
"Brother, thank you. I'll be taking my leave."
With that said, Ao Deju leaped up on the spot and quickly flew away.
"..."
Yang Hong felt that the number of times he had been speechless in his entire life was less than the number of times today.
"Sister Ruohua, we won't disturb you."
"Right, right, an inch of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Everyone disperse."
"Disperse, disperse."
Within a few breaths, all the demons had scattered completely.
It seemed that all the demons present were very afraid of Feng Ruhuah.
"Come, follow me."
After looking around and seeing everyone gone, Feng Ruhuah turned and walked towards one end of the deck.
"Wait, fellow Daoist, is there a misunderstanding? I don't want to marry you."
Although Yang Hong had the thought of jumping into the sea to escape, he considered the ninth-tier demon emperor on the ship and knew he wasn't confident in escaping under the emperor's nose. He suppressed the urge.
However, he didn't want to be married to a demon woman for no reason,
even if this woman was a very beautiful fire phoenix.
"I know, and I don't want to marry you either. You just need to lay eggs with me.
When I lay eggs, you can leave."
Feng Ruhuah looked at Yang Hong's handsome face, her tone laced with anticipation, and her gaze towards Yang Hong was even more fiery.
Yang Hong suspected that this phoenix had already thought of names for the eggs.
"Wait, shouldn't I ask my clan elders before laying eggs with you?"
"Hmph~ Who are your elders? Just send them a message that I'm from the Core Sacred Island, and see if they dare to stop you."
"Core Sacred Island?"
Yang Hong was shocked again but dared not ask further.
The Core Sacred Island was the holy land of the entire demon race, possessing supreme authority and being the most mysterious place in the Myriad Demon Archipelago.
Yang Hong knew nothing about the Core Sacred Island, so he simply shut up, lest he say more and make more mistakes.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Yang Hong had fallen silent, Feng Ruhuah's eyes curved as if smiling. She then turned and walked towards the lower deck.
Yang Hong wished he could spend the night on the deck,
but the ninth-tier demon emperor's aura was constantly pressing down on him, so he could only obediently follow her down.
Each level of this giant ship was three zhang high, with a total of thirty levels. Yang Hong followed Feng Ruhuah to a luxurious room on the sixteenth level.
"Miss Ruohua, I'm here on Luoxing Island to train in the Sealed Demon Secret Realm. Can we consider other things after we come out of the secret realm?"
Yang Hong quickly said as he watched Feng Ruhuah remove her large red cloak.
"Hmm? Let me see your true cultivation, and I'll give you some pills to help you cultivate quickly. You don't need to go into the Sealed Demon Secret Realm to join the fun."
Feng Ruhuah frowned, seemingly displeased.
"This~"
"Be good."
Yang Hong was about to say something else, but Feng Ruhuah spoke gently, yet her seventh-tier Integration realm pressure was entirely exerted on Yang Hong.
At the same time, the aura of the ninth-tier demon emperor from the adjacent room also instantly pressed down on Yang Hong, almost forcing him to his knees.
"..."
Yang Hong was helpless but wisely circulated his [Top-Tier Breathing Technique] to display his cultivation as late-stage fifth-tier Nascent Soul realm.
"Oh? You're only at the late fifth stage!"
Feng Ruhuah exclaimed, then withdrew the pressure she had been exerting on Yang Hong.
"Ao Deju, that idiot, didn't even check your cultivation level properly?"
"I really met Ao Deju on the road. He still doesn't know my name?"
Hearing Feng Ruhuah's dissatisfaction with Ao Deju, Yang Hong added another jab.
"Damn idiot, I'll give him a good beating next time I see him.
By the way, what's your name?"
"...Sun Wukong."
Yang Hong actually wanted to complain to Feng Ruhuah: You're starting to take off your clothes, and only now do you remember you didn't ask my name?
He naturally wouldn't tell Feng Ruhuah his real name and instead used the name of Monkey King.
"Sun Wukong? Are you a little monkey of the Wu generation? Your generation is so low?
Who is your protector, and how can they let a fifth-stage Lingming Monkey run around alone?"
Before Feng Ruhuah could speak, a noble woman in a golden phoenix robe appeared before Yang Hong.
"Greetings, Senior. I come from a humble background and have no protector."
Upon seeing this woman, Yang Hong's legs trembled uncontrollably. This was a ninth-tier demon emperor!
"Hmm~ No protector?"
The woman's brow furrowed, and she took a step forward, grabbing Yang Hong's hand. Instantly, an invincible yet warm and spring-like spiritual power flowed through Yang Hong's body.
This action made Yang Hong's heart fill with dread!
He was a human!
Not some Lingming Ape race!
"Hmm~ This is very strange."
Could he have been exposed?
Hearing the ninth-tier demon emperor's words, Yang Hong's face turned as white as snow.
