Chapter 157 - 157 : Living a humble and humiliating life in the world
"Wow, it really hatched?" Fang Yuan was also quite surprised. "Let me take a look."
Lin Jing nodded, stretched out her hand, and spread her five fingers. A small dragon emerged from her palm.
This dragon was only about six feet long, with deep blue scales and a pair of amber-colored eyes that flickered with curiosity and cleverness. It floated in the air, circling around Lin Jing, occasionally glancing at Fang Yuan with curiosity.
"Since I personally hatched it, it immediately recognized me as its mother when it was born," Lin Jing said with a smile. "Also, I tested it, and it has the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old child. Truly, it's no wonder it's from the dragon clan."
"Can it do a backflip?" Fang Yuan asked.
Lin Jing was initially stunned, then nodded. "Of course, it can."
"Ah..." Fang Yuan carefully examined the little dragon. He thought back to the Tian Du Dragon King he had seen before. Could they be the same species?
Probably not, because this little dragon had the words [Bi Xiao Jiang Young Dragon] written on its head, which was different from the [Tian Du] dragon he had encountered.
He would have to ask Lord Chong Wu about this Bi Xiao Jiang River later. As far as he knew, there was no such river in the territory of Yan Kingdom.

"Not bad. Just take good care of it, I'm looking forward to its performance in the future," Fang Yuan said. "It's getting late, I need to head to the frontier."
"Mm, Fang Yuan... I wish you a victorious return." Lin Jing said earnestly. With Fang Yuan's current status and cultivation, for him to take the time to listen to her concerns made her very happy.
...
In the sky, the outline of Jingchuan Province appeared before Xue Kai, who was still in a daze, unable to fully process what had happened.
In the past, he had been powerless in the South Town Guard of the capital. Now, however, Fang Yuan had acted more anxiously than he had and quickly brought him to Jingchuan Province.
"My lord, before we take action, should we notify the general?" Xue Kai asked. "A little further ahead is the devil's territory..."
As he spoke, a look of shame appeared on his face. Although Jingchuan Province was a state capital, in his words, it had become the devil's domain.
But it couldn't be helped. In the province, the General had reached the seventh realm, while the devils had three powerful demon kings!
Fortunately, the three demon kings fought amongst themselves and didn't cooperate, so the mighty Yan Kingdom had become a land divided among the devils, with a tragic four-way split.
"My lord, I think there's no need," Fang Yuan replied. He continued pulling Xue Kai forward into the city.
The once prosperous city was now desolate. The streets were filled with the stench of blood and decay.
Skeletons and rotting flesh were scattered everywhere, and there were demons dressed in human clothes, but there were no signs of living people.
After the demons took over, most of the Yan Kingdom's citizens had perished, their remains long since devoured by the demons.
The local Town Guard still existed but had been renamed [God Demon Cave] and had become the lair of the Golden Lion Demon King.
At this moment, however, the Town Guard's main hall, usually a place of chaos, was hosting an unexpected guest — a deputy general.
Deputy General He Yaoguang of Jingchuan Province stood with his hands lowered and head bowed.
In front of him was an enormous figure covered in dazzling golden fur. Its broad, majestic head and fierce, commanding face exuded dominance.
"So, you came to seek cooperation with me?" the Golden Lion Demon King growled, its large mouth revealing sharp fangs.
"Yes..." He Yaoguang nodded, taking a deep breath and reciting the speech he had rehearsed countless times:
"Currently, the power of the Thousand-Armed Demon King in Jingchuan Province is growing stronger. If we wish to survive, we must set aside past grievances and join forces. This is the will of our general."
At this point, a surge of humiliation flooded his chest.
Forming alliances was their usual diplomatic strategy, but cooperating with cannibalistic demons... it seemed absurd. However, it was the cruel reality in this situation.
With no support from the court, they had no choice but to try seeking assistance from other demons...
But demons were short-sighted, unable to plan for the long term, so He Yaoguang had already prepared himself to be devoured by this lion.
Seeing He Yaoguang's humble demeanor, the Golden Lion Demon King laughed:
"Heh heh, did you hear that, my minions? The Town Guard is asking to cooperate with us!"
"Hahaha!" The surrounding demon lords burst into boisterous laughter.
The once-proud Town Guard, who swore to never bow to demons, now groveling before them, was truly satisfying!
"Since you dared to come alone to this banquet, you do have some courage. I'll consider it. But... kneel down first," the Golden Lion Demon King continued.
He Yaoguang immediately knelt down without hesitation. The moment he came here to seek cooperation, the backbone of the Town Guard had already been broken.
The Golden Lion Demon King stopped looking at him and shouted outside:
"Where's the food? Why hasn't the midday meal arrived yet?"
As a demon king now occupying human territory, it couldn't act as recklessly as before. Hearing that officials paid attention to fine dining, it thought it should do the same.
"Your Majesty, it's coming! It's coming!"
Several porters walked in, carrying baskets of food. They were once chefs from a grand restaurant, chosen by the demon king for their culinary skills and spared from death.
When they saw the Town Guard deputy kneeling on the ground, they were momentarily stunned, but then forced smiles as they set the various dishes on the table.
Each dish was made with meat, releasing an enticing aroma. As for the source of the ingredients, it was obvious.
At first, the chefs had felt immense psychological pressure, but over time, they became numb.
"Not bad." The Golden Lion Demon King nodded in satisfaction, then casually grabbed a roasted leg of lamb and tossed it in front of He Yaoguang.
"This is a reward for you. Eat it!"
Seeing the leg of lamb in front of him, He Yaoguang's face turned pale. His fists clenched, and his body trembled.
"What's the matter? Eat it! If you eat it, I'll grant your request," the Golden Lion Demon King mocked.
Remembering the purpose of his mission, He Yaoguang finally mustered the courage to take the leg and bring it to his mouth.
For the sake of the remaining people in Jingchuan Province, this was nothing.
The chefs averted their eyes, unwilling to look any longer.
The Golden Lion Demon King watched with a smirk, savoring the human-eating spectacle.
But suddenly, its expression changed drastically. It sensed something, and immediately looked up!
"Who is it?!" the Golden Lion Demon King roared, its muscles bulging as it leapt from its seat!
"Quiet, I'm in a hurry," a cold voice responded, and a hand reached out, gently stroking the lion king's thick mane.
Crack!!!
At the same time, its enormous head was directly pressed into its chest cavity.
