Chapter 177: 176 Lili

Wang Wu never expected that the "reward" his master mentioned was actually a trampling of his dignity and personality.

But there was no way around it; the opponent was far stronger, and even though he felt immense humiliation, when faced with his master's disgrace he could only endure it silently.

Speaking of it, Yin Shenli was indeed very inexperienced in such matters, which made Wang Wu involuntarily think of the girls at home… um, never mind.

Still, inexperience is inexperience, but expertise has its own feel, and inexperience its own feel; honestly, either way is quite nice.

The only slight flaw is that a master of Yin Shenli's caliber naturally doesn't have the ordinary human worries, lacking a bit of flavor.

Still, it's pretty good, honestly.

Mainly, this master's status provides such a huge bonus that Wang Wu simply couldn't… I misspoke, couldn't be humiliated.

Time quickly passed to the next day.

Yin Shenli left satisfied to go shopping, while Wang Wu dragged his heavy body back to his home in Tian Mang Cheng.

Although this is in Tian Mang Cheng, the place Wang Wu and Yin Shenli had stayed before was his spherical fortress.

Since settling in Tian Mang Cheng, the girls haven't been returning to the spherical fortress often.

The place's renovations and upgrades have been ongoing; after each year's exchange, Wang Wu checks online for any parts of the fortress that can be upgraded.

"Wu Lang, are you back?"

Wu Er Niang was cooking at home now; the school is off today, and when she's not in school she likes to stay home tinkering with recipes.

Her cooking skills are now excellent; although her academic grades are merely average, her culinary progress is rapid.

Because it's vacation, the usual restrictions on her body are naturally lifted temporarily.

After all, such behavior is the nature of the demon race; denying them this is like denying them food.

The moment he saw his beloved demon, Wang Wu's eyes instantly reddened. Recalling yesterday's grievances, he couldn't control himself and lunged at Wu Er Niang.

Wu Er Niang is slightly taller than master Yin Shenli; Yin Shenli stands at 1.95 m, while Wu Er Niang is a full 1.97 m.

These heights aren't exaggerated; they're the exact barefoot measurements, neither inflated nor deflated.

As she wrapped her arms around the lunging Wang Wu, before she could speak, Wu Er Niang's words were choked off.

Soon, the kitchen echoed with her pained sobs and Wang Wu's bitter, angry gasps.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Tian Mang Cheng.

Yin Shenli strolled by sightseeing, claiming she wanted to get out, but really she felt a bit embarrassed and needed to leave Wang Wu to find a place to calm down.

Yin Shenli didn't know why, nor what kind of mind‑clouding soup Wang Wu had poured into her.

She only recalled feeling as if fire burned in her heart, staring into Wang Wu's eyes.

When Wang Wu said, "Master, I think I've fallen in love with you," she felt her brain explode with a boom, instantly blank.

Then came the intertwining of the orbicularis oris muscle with connective tissue, developing into a combo of toe plus connective tissue plus orbicularis oris plus… etc.

Of course, Yin Shenli didn't truly lose her mind then; it was merely a bit of investment and a tactic to sway hearts.

She treated Wang Wu that way only because he still had utility, not because Yin Shenli actually fell for him.

That is absolutely impossible.

Still, it was indeed Yin Shenli's first kiss, but just a first kiss; Yin Shenli never cares about such things.

"Beast…"

Yin Shenli's face flushed as she walked, glancing left then right, her mind a mush.

Yet she still held the last line; that thing couldn't be given up to that guy so quickly.

"If he dares to talk about breaking up, I'll definitely kill him!"

That line was said by Zi Yuan, not some otherworldly visitor.

At this moment, although Yin Shenli was very annoyed, her annoyance wasn't about drinking too much yesterday, but about failing to control the scope, letting the kid taste too many sweet perks.

Honestly, Wang Wu does make a good servant; when he washed her feet, he even cleaned between the toes.

It might also be because the servant served so well, plus a bit of flattery, that made Yin Shenli break the rules.

After strolling outside for a while, Yin Shenli's mood gradually calmed.

A faint smile curled at her mouth as she glanced back toward Wang Wu's house.

"This guy, really got messed up…"

Looking at Wang Wu's home, Yin Shenli wrinkled her nose, then smiled and turned toward his house.

They originally thought reaching the Perfect Realm would take about half a year, but the masters overestimated Wang Wu's level.

Actually, it was mainly because Yin Shenli voluntarily slowed the pace, considering Wang Wu's bodily limits.

Although Qin Xiang opposed the slowdown, he had no choice; he couldn't defeat Yin Shenli, so he had to agree with her decision.

From entering the Sun to achieving the Perfect Realm took a full ten months.

And the girls at home also waited ten months.

Now that Wang Wu finally regained his freedom, the first thing he does upon returning home is to brutally assault his family.

After all, he's a nasty demon, and both masters are evil sect bigwigs; it's no wonder he's wicked.

All day, then the second day, the third day, even up to a week.

Wang Wu didn't leave the house at all, staying in his room.

This was his first time being away from home for so long; now that he's back, he naturally should stay home properly.

He didn't step out the door at all.

Although the bedroom is sizable—sixty square meters—the presence of neighbors and friends makes the sixty‑square space feel cramped.

Ten days later.

Xie Yu, who had been listless for a long time due to the departure of her beloved demon Bai Tan, walked the streets of Tian Mang Cheng.

Recalling what happened here two years ago, her heart still aches sharply.

But there's nothing she can do; she knows Bai Tan also suffers, yet he has no choice.

In the past two years, Xie Yu's relatives have tried many ways to help her get out of the gloom, but none have succeeded.

And this month, because her family came to Heavenly Python City for a meeting to discuss an alliance between the two cities, Xie Yu returned once again to this sorrowful place.

Then ten days ago Wang Wu returned, and after learning of his return, Xie Yu thought of visiting her friend.

And that has continued up to now.

Just like drowning sorrows in wine, monsters generally don't drown sorrows in wine, but use this instead.

It works better, and truly can alleviate the mood to some extent.

As for addictiveness? This is a basic need just like eating; you can't say one is addicted to eating, can you?

After ten days, through Wang Wu's careful guidance, Xie Yu's mood has indeed improved a lot.

Walking on the road back to her residence, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Xie Yu.

The voice trembled: "Yu, Yu‑er?"

Xie Yu's body froze suddenly, then she slowly turned around.

"Did… did you get pregnant, Yu… Xiao Yu??"

Bai Tan looked at the Xie Yu before him, his lips trembling as he asked.

Seeing her former lover, Xie Yu's expression was also complicated.

Although both still loved each other, they also knew that there was no longer any possibility between the two monsters.

"Pregnant?" Hearing Bai Tan's words, she was startled at first, then lowered her head to glance at her own belly.

At this moment she indeed looked a bit like she was ten months pregnant; one such pregnancy would be enough to make her look like this, let alone ten days.

"Ah, no," Xie Yu laughed lightly, shaking her head, "it's caused by Brother Wang."

Bai Tan at this moment also recalled, after all he had seen it before.

However… thinking of this, he glanced at Xie Yu again, wondering if this is a bit…

Um, a bit too exaggerated?

"Just ten days," she seemed to see Bai Tan's doubt, and Xie Yu smiled as she explained:

"After all, Brother Wang was in seclusion for a full ten months, and during those ten months he didn't…"

"Um, I… understand," Bai Tan nodded, then seemed to recall something, his body froze instantly, and with a blank expression he said to Xie Yu:

"Since that's the case, I shall depart first, Miss Xie."

"Hmm." Xie Yu's face also became expressionless at this moment, and she nodded in response.

Bai Tan's wife is a bird monster named Xiao Ya.

Since he married a bird monster, his whole life can only be devoted to her.

Although Bai Tan indeed also loves Xiao Ya, …

Forget it, the bitter fruit he sowed can only be tasted by himself.

Xie Yu, being a woman over two meters tall, now walks with a somewhat floating gait; when she first left Wang Wu's house she would even stagger a step now and then.

Even she, whose combat power is the most terrifying, is like this, let alone the other monsters.

As for humans? Humans can only be said to have the advantage of being weak.

After all, one can faint for a few hours in an instant, and in a comatose state there is invincible protection, and one cannot be selected.

Having stayed at Wang Wu's house for ten days, Xie Yu's mood indeed brightened considerably.

Although she still hasn't gotten out, at least she no longer is as listless as before.

After returning to her residence, the household monsters also asked her about her belly.

After answering, Xie Yu's mother, seeing Xie Yu's greatly improved mood, instantly felt a strong gratitude toward Wang Wu.

So the next day, she took her daughter and went again to Wang Wu's house to personally pay her respects.

"Take care on your way."

Five days later, Wang Wu escorted the mother and daughter out the door, smiling as he waved goodbye to them.

But just as they stepped out, after barely two steps, Xie Yu's mother could no longer hold on, her eyes rolled back as she fell to the ground, convulsing all over and fainting to death.

Seeing her mother like that, Xie Yu sighed, bent down to lift her, and carried her back all the way.

In the human world there is an idiom "overestimating one's abilities", which is quite fitting to describe Xie Yu's mother.

"Huh? Mother, this is… pregnant? Oh, right."

Although Xie Yu has no biological sisters, she has plenty of cousins and friends.

"I tell you, you guy, won't you get tired of it?"

A full month later, although she still wasn't bored of it, Yin Shenli still grabbed her disciple's ear, shaking his head left and right as she asked:

"Do you think that having already reached the Fourth Rank Complete Realm makes future breakthroughs effortless, so you haven't even cultivated this whole month!!?"

"M-Master…" Wang Wu spat out the restraint from his mouth, "Then I will listen…"

"Shut up! Beast!" Yin Shenli shouted angrily, her toe striking Wang Wu's mouth at dozens of times the speed of sound, "Did I tell you to listen?"

"Alright, okay, wife…"

Yin Shenli's fist instantly clenched, and the long toe on her other foot, angry, curled tightly toward the back of her foot.

"I told you to shut up!!!"

Heavenly Python Palace.

After staying at home for over a month, Wang Wu finally went out today, because Tian Ling and Tian Xing had matters to report to him.

"Monster Alliance?"

After hearing Tian Ling's report, Wang Wu stroked his chin, listening to the report while watching the two guards beside Tian Ling.

Huo Ying and Huo Yuan, who came to Heavenly Python Palace with Wang Wu, kept their eyes fixed on him the whole time, never looking away.

"You mean, you want to found a nation?"

"Heavenly Python City has already become a nation, Commissioner," Tian Ling shook his head, "this alliance is merely a loose coalition, with little binding."

"The relations among the demon cities remain the same as the previous alliance state; only this time we will inform the human race."

"From now on, our demon race is also considered bound together in name."

After speaking, Tian Ling's son Tian Xing continued:

"We invited the Commissioner here actually to have the Commissioner give a name to our demon race federation."

"After all, this may become our demon race's external title in the future."

"Naming?" Hearing this, Wang Wu's eyebrows also furrowed.

"Well, if we are to name it…"

He really couldn't handle naming, so after a moment of thought, he shook his head:

"You should do it yourselves; I'm indeed not good at this."

"But lately it seems you have been holding meetings constantly, and the federation seems to have recruited many new members?" Wang Wu asked again.

"Yes." Tian Xing nodded, "For example, the 'White Chi City' where the Commissioner's friend Bai Tan resides joined our alliance half a year ago."

"At this demon race federation conference, White Chi City also sent a representative, namely the mother of Bai Tan's former fiancée."

"That's good." Wang Wu said with a smile, "I was just about to go there; this time I can go with Xie Yu and the others to see the demon city beyond the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Then I wish the Commissioner a pleasant journey."

Tian Ling smiled and then turned to look at the sisters Huo Ying and Huo Yuan beside him, and asked:

"Do you need any guards accompanying the Commissioner?"

Seeing the sisters' expectant eyes, Wang Wu apologetically shook his head, "Um, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't plan to bring many attendants on this trip."

"Very well." Tian Ling nodded.

Time quickly reached the end of the year, and on the first day of the new year, Wang Wu left his hometown again.

Following Xie Yu and the group of demons, he set out on the road to Great Chu.
