Chapter 208: Star Lord 207, Overturning the Cosmos

Even though his master had just provoked a demon‑race Star Lord—the highest official of this star sector—and even dueled with the other party somewhere unknown, Wang Wu did not think this would spell trouble.

As for a reason, there is none, because he hadn't thought of it at all, but the reality is indeed like that.

No demon did anything to him; although among Wang Wu's group of demons there was a non‑demon Star Lord hidden, and they even fought the resident Star Lord, the soldiers stationed at this spaceport did nothing to Wang Wu.

As for the reason, it may be that the local social atmosphere is like that, or perhaps they, like Wang Wu, simply did not notice the matter.

Under Long Qiang's lead, the group of demons quickly completed the entry procedures. It didn't take much time, and Wang Wu, as a foreign demon, needed an extra registration.

Of course, since the master had already shown up, Wang Wu did not forget to register his master as well.

After registration, the spaceship could continue its journey; the planet where the Long sisters live is quite far from the border, but they do not plan to return home immediately, instead they intend to first visit Chai Zhi's homeworld.

Because they had previously promised to help Chai Zhi, with the Long family's influence, solving Chai Zhi's minor problem is not difficult for the two of them.

Long Qing and Long He are among the most outstanding youths in their clan, and with their status as twin siblings, they are even more highly regarded.

However, the one who benefits most from the "twin sibling" status is not the sisters but their mother.

In the demon race, a female demon who has borne offspring is absolutely more popular than one who has not, and if she has more than one child, she is even more popular.

Although the sisters' mother has not given birth since Long He and Long Qing, this does not prevent her from changing a batch almost every month—yes, not one, but a batch of demons.

Indeed, a whole batch. As a very typical demon, the mother of the two has, of course, more than one close female companion.

The two women feel nothing about this; after all, it's a very ordinary matter, nothing worth pondering.

Perhaps one thing confuses them: who their biological father actually is? On the surface, it's their current father, since the mother has a husband.

But in reality…

Looking at their transformed appearances, they don't really resemble their father; they have four fathers in total, and none of the four looks like them.

Although a demon's form may differ from its parents, in human form, demon offspring often still closely resemble their parents.

Of course, that presupposes biological parents.

And for Long He and Long Qing, their human forms don't resemble any of their fathers, regardless of which of the four.

Nevertheless, the fathers still treat them as their own biological daughters. Though most of the time they are busier than their mother.

But their relationship is still good; the two women greatly respect their fathers, and the fathers also respect their two daughters.

"Wang Wu, the procedures are finished now, what we do next is…"

At that moment, Chai Zhi, who had been by Wang Wu's side and had just yesterday done something slightly out of line with him, looked at Wang Wu and asked.

"Let's wait a moment first." Wang Wu said as he walked out of the entry office, looking up at the sky. There was only the pitch‑black universe, the massive Dyson sphere looming nearby, and the stream of passing ships.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

"By the way, Wang Wu, your master fighting that Star Lord—won't that have any consequences?"

Perhaps because what they did with Wang Wu wasn't that outrageous, Chai Zhi is probably the most normal of the three demon women right now.

Hearing this, Wang Wu turned to look at Chai Zhi, saw the worried expression on her face, and gently patted her shoulder, "It should…"

"Probably not."

While saying that, he wasn't very sure, looking at Long He and Long Qing, but the two women both wore a completely bewildered gaze, their clear eyes also revealing a hint of naive… innocence.

So he turned his gaze toward the twins' uncle, the Long Qiang who, since Yin Shen Li appeared, has hardly dared to look at him.

Long Qiang was, of course, deeply indignant, for if this kid had no such feelings toward his two nieces yet still wanted them, without intending to develop a further relationship, and then just walk away…

How painful that would be for Long Qing and Long He.

But there is no way around it; this guy has a Star Lord‑rank master who stays by his side, which shows his standing in the other's eyes.

The Long family's Star Lord is not stronger than this Qiong Ji, but even that border Star Lord Qiong Ji cannot suppress Yin Shen Li, and Yin Shen Li even overpowered him.

Clearly, her strength is no longer comparable to the Long family's.

Of course, if troops were deployed, eliminating this Star Lord would be no problem. But setting aside what impact that would have, the very act alone is unlikely to be approved by the clan.

After all, this is merely a matter of affection; love is mutual, and even if it's not, so what? Which demon would claim they'll never experience emotional setbacks in their life?

That's obviously impossible, right?

Therefore, to Long Qiang this matter is serious, but to the clan it is trivial.

And that is why Long Qiang feels desperate now.

If Wang Wu's master didn't exist, Long Qiang could, with his own great strength, force this guy to marry his two nieces, giving them an answer.

And he doesn't intend to have this man, after marrying Little He and Little Qing, cut ties with his other wives, nor care how many more he might marry later.

In fact, for Wang Wu this is a sure profit, merely arranging a wedding to fulfill Long Qing and Long He's dream. Wang Wu himself should be willing.

Although it may seem forced now, in the long run it only brings benefits for him.

But now, everything is over.

Long Qiang's face turned ashen; the demon hung his head and stood there, and at the thought of the future pain his two nieces might endure, his heart throbbed.

Until Wang Wu's voice sounded beside him: "Uncle, Uncle?"

"Uncle?"

"Nine Uncle?"

"Nine Uncle!"

Long Qiang hadn't intended to respond, but after Wang Wu, Long Qing and Long He also called out beside his ear, prompting him to look up at them:

"Huh? What?"

"I want to ask, my master and that Star Lord are fighting now; there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"That depends on what Star Lord Qiong Ji says." After hearing Wang Wu, Long Qiang finally reacted, realizing that his party of demons had apparently gotten into a considerable trouble.

But since no demon soldiers have come to arrest them yet, it seems Qiong Ji himself has no issue with them.

As for fighting that kid's master? That's just an ordinary sparring duel.

Wind Country is a nation that highly respects duels; the social atmosphere is like that from top to bottom.

"But you haven't been taken as criminals, and you even completed the procedures successfully, which shows there won't be any problem."

"As for now, all you need to do is wait for your master to return."

After meeting Wang Wu's incredibly powerful Star Lord master, Long Qiang's attitude toward Wang Wu naturally changed completely. Though his tone remained neither servile nor arrogant, there was no trace of humility.

But obviously, he spoke much more cautiously than before.

However, Wang Wu didn't mind such matters; after receiving a reassuring answer from Long Qiang, he sighed in relief and nodded.

"Shall we go back?" He then turned his head toward the three female demons, who naturally had no objections and all nodded.

Thus, the party of demons returned to the ship once more.

As for Long Qiang, he owned a ship himself, so he didn't intend to follow the three onto their vessel. Moreover, it would be inappropriate.

After returning to the ship, Wang Wu first went to the cell; the two human cultivators had also registered at the immigration office, as they were his captives, so the benefits from the exchange naturally belonged to them.

The court wouldn't even levy taxes on this; all revenue went entirely to them.

After those two Jie Guo monsters left, Wang Wu wasn't lonely, for he quickly found a new torment target: Yuan Xiangzi.

And to preserve her own life, Yuan Xiangzi could only temporarily endure humiliation.

"Spit!"

The moment she entered the cell, she spat toward Wang Wu. Unable to dodge, the spit landed directly on Wang Wu's mouth.

"Beast! Fiend!! I cannot coexist with you!!!"

In the cell—a solitary one, of course—Yuan Xiangzi's face flushed red as she shouted angrily at Wang Wu.

Wang Wu said nothing, merely standing before her.

"Hmph, aren't you surrendering yet?" Wang Wu's face bore a strange smile as he looked down upon her.

Facing her most hated enemy, Yuan Xiangzi hesitated not at all.

Although her limbs were bound, she still didn't give up; using the only weapon she possessed—a sharp fang—she lunged and bit the opponent fiercely.

Three hours later, time passed quickly.

Even though the shackles' restriction drastically lowered her cultivation realm, the woman's tenacity was hardly affected.

During the first torment, Wang Wu was somewhat surprised, for her tenacity was the best he had ever seen among humans.

She could even compare with the two Jie Guo demon tribes.

That was an extraordinary appraisal; after all, humans, by race, are inherently far inferior to demons in physical quality.

Receiving such praise from Wang Wu also indicated that this woman's innate talent was indeed exceptional.

Only after a full three hours did Wang Wu leave the cell. Over an hour later, Yuan Xiangzi, whose consciousness had been completely shattered by the torment, gradually regained awareness.

She opened her eyes; the bright light overhead gradually sharpened from blur to clarity, and Yuan Xiangzi forced herself to sit up from the ground.

Having been confined there the whole time, she had no freedom of movement, causing the room to be pervaded by an odor that made her extremely uncomfortable.

She took two deep breaths; an angry expression flickered on Yuan Xiangzi's face. After closing her eyes to rest a moment, she opened them again and fed the food on her fingers into her mouth.

After swallowing the food, she stood up, preparing to enter the room's bathroom.

But at that moment, her ears twitched.

She then crouched in place for a while, listening to the sound from the next room, let out a light laugh, shook her head, and walked into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent room.

"This, this bitch… this, this man is a rapist!! … rapist!!!"

Having returned to normal, Zhen Guangzi, whose spirit was crystal clear, felt anger surge within, stared intently at the ground before him, and forced words out through his teeth.

He couldn't be blamed; honestly, demons are indeed terrifying creatures, and the Yuan Xiangzi next door had been in this state for several days.

It was three hours each day, sometimes even over ten hours, which was impossible to ignore.

As for a cultivator's mindset, indeed, for someone of his cultivation realm, such matters should theoretically have no impact on him.

Yet he was affected, and the impact was extremely severe.

He didn't know the exact cause; perhaps it was the shackles on his hands. Those restraints not only limit his power but can also cause his mindset to plummet, rendering him completely uncontrollable in such matters.

"Why is today so fast?"

After leaving the cell, Wang Wu prepared to return to his own room to rest. Yet as soon as he stepped out, a voice sounded at his ear.

Of course it wasn't Long Qing, nor Long He, nor Chai Zhi; the three were lying on the ground outside the cell at that moment.

It was Yin Shenli.

"Master?"

Wang Wu startled, instantly turned his head. Upon seeing his master's current appearance, his eyes froze for an instant.

"Master, you!??"

"What's wrong with you!??"

Yin Shenli's body was covered in wounds; half of her face was reduced to stark white bone.

"No problem, just minor injuries."

She let Wang Wu grab her and, in the process, lifted her in a princess carry, then rushed straight to the infirmary. Yin Shenli didn't resist, but said to Wang Wu:

"I haven't finished fighting that guy yet, damn, this guy is interesting. Put me down; I just came back to check on you."

"But…"

Wang Wu's lips were sealed; after a while, Yin Shenli separated from him, looked at him gently and said:

"Rest assured."

It was Wang Wu's first time seeing Yin Shenli act like this; he was taken aback, frozen on the spot.

By the time he recovered, Yin Shenli had already vanished from his arms.

"Master, master?"

Even though Yin Shenli had disappeared, Wang Wu still stood there dumbfounded.
