Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and called out directly.

"Xiao Ai, come out for a moment."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a figure appeared in the doorway as if by teleportation. This terrifying speed startled Xingwu behind her.

When did this extraordinary powerhouse appear in this orphanage outside the borders?

Upon seeing Xiao Ai appear, the woman in blue quickly bowed and greeted her respectfully.

"Lord Xiao Ai, what is this...?"

Xiao Ai ignored him and walked straight to Lin Yun, bowing respectfully.

"Dean, you're back."

Lin Yun nodded and glanced at the woman in blue beside him.

"Xiao Ai, what's going on? I was only gone for a short while, how come my house has been taken over?"

"Reporting to the Dean, she is someone that Lady Long Shishi has put on the whitelist."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and glanced at the woman in blue.

The latter was surprised after learning his identity.

"You are the Dean who serves the King?"

Her expression was a little strange. Why were all the people around the dean beautiful or pretty girls?

It's hard not to suspect that the other person has some unusual fetish.

Even the other person's character.

With the king around someone like that, won't he be... well, you know...?

In response to his question, Lin Yun nodded and then asked a question in return.

"You... are you someone sent by the demon race?"

"That's right, it was sent by Her Majesty the Queen!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Your subordinate is..."

Just then, the orphanage gate was pushed open, and Long Shishi and Xiao Xi, as if they had expected it, came out to greet them.

As soon as she saw Lin Yun, Long Shishi excitedly rushed over to him.

"Dean! You're finally back!"

Like a child who had finally waited for her father to come home, she snuggled happily in Lin Yun's arms.

"Have you been causing any trouble at home lately?"

"No, Shishi is very well-behaved!"

Long Shishi said with a smile, then glanced to the side and was immediately surprised.

"Oh, it's the red-haired older sister! Wasn't she an enemy? Why is she back with you?"

"Well, that's a long story."

Lin Yun smiled but did not reveal Xing Wu's true identity. If the news of the Red Iris Empress's rebirth got out, it would probably stir up a storm across the entire continent.

For someone as easygoing as him, this means endless trouble.

Xingwu nodded and smiled at Long Shishi.

"In short, now I'm considered one of your dean's people, and I'll stay here from now on."

Upon hearing this, Long Shishi's eyes lit up.

"That's great! I can be with my sister again!"

After saying that, he ran happily into Xingwu's arms. Lin Yun shook his head at this.

"Shishi, now that you have a sister, you're neglecting me, the headmaster, right?"

"Not at all."

Long Shishi, nestled in Xingwu's arms, turned her head and said with a playful smile.

"The Dean and Xingwu are the most important people to them!"

Xingwu glanced helplessly at Lin Yun.

The latter was both amused and exasperated, but didn't pay much attention, and then greeted Xiao Xi.

"Xiao Xi, how have you been feeling lately?"

"I'm doing well lately, Dean, don't worry!"

Xiao Xi smiled easily and said, "I've recently learned a lot of medical skills."

"Good, study hard, and you might become the number one doctor on the mainland!"

"Ah...that's too far away."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Lin Yun smiled and patted her head. With her orphan talent, her growth rate would probably shock even herself.

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that there was a demon standing next to him.

"By the way, Shishi, what's the deal with this demon cultivator?"

Getting back to the main point, Long Shishi glanced at the woman in blue and quickly explained.

"This elder sister Lan Xi said that she was sent by the Empress to deliver many precious treasures to us!"

"They even said they were going to stay here to protect us..."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and asked Lan Xi.

"Giving gifts is fine, but what's the meaning behind 'protecting Shishi'?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xi quickly said, "This is because... a large-scale rebellion has occurred within our demon race over Lady Shishi's matter."

"Her Majesty the Queen was worried about Lady Shishi's safety, so she sent me to stay here to protect her from harm!"

"Besides that, there's another thing..."

"Rebellion?"

Lin Yun frowned immediately, about to ask further, but after glancing at the passersby who kept looking over, he said something instead.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk."

As soon as he entered the orphanage, he heard a system notification in his ear.

[Congratulations on completing the mission! You have taken in the fifth and sixth orphans!]

[You have received the following reward: Orphan Talent x3, Fusion Function!]

Please select your own talent fusion!

According to the system's determination, he needs to bring the adopted child into the orphanage area for the achievement to be considered complete.

Lin Yun thought to himself that he would study the new features after he finished his work.

Right now, we need to figure out the matter of the demon race first.

Lin Yun first instructed Bai Xiaoxue and the others to show the newlyweds, including Lu Xian'er, their rooms.

He, Xingwu, Long Shishi, and Lanxi found a place to talk in detail.

Inside the room, Lin Yun spoke calmly.

"Tell me, what's your other purpose for coming here?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xi took a deep breath and revealed her true purpose.

"It's like this, Dean. Her Majesty the Queen wishes the King to make a trip to the Holy City of the Demon Realm."

"Go to the Demon Realm Holy City? What for?"

"The Queen didn't say, only that it was something important and that it wouldn't have a negative impact on Lady Shishi."

After saying that, she quickly added another sentence.

"Furthermore, Her Majesty the Queen has instructed that if you are concerned, you may come to the Demon Realm with her!"

"Speaking of which, Her Majesty the Queen is also very curious about you and has long wanted to meet you..."

Lin Yun seemed to be deep in thought. With Si Long present, the other party should know how capable he was, so he shouldn't dare to play any tricks.

If something really happens to Long Shishi, I'll have to consider whether I'll ruin the Demon Realm.

He didn't agree immediately, and then asked another question.

"By the way, what about the rebellion you mentioned earlier?"

Lan Xi quickly explained, "Oh, that's..."

Simply put, this so-called rebellion is a conflict between two different ideologies within the demon race.

The demon queen's side believes that they should follow the empress's prophecy, elect Long Shishi, the person who made the prophecy, as queen, and give her the power of decision, so that she can lead the demon race to glory!

The forces led by the Demon King of the Azure Wolf Clan believed that neither the Empress's prophecy nor the new king were trustworthy, and that the fate of the demon race should be in their own hands!

Therefore, the Wolf King incited many high-ranking members of the demon race, and even stole the demon race's treasure, vowing to overthrow the current demon royal family!

In fact, signs of this division appeared shortly after the prophecy was made, and the contradictions between the two sides had been escalating.

Finally, with the birth of Long Shishi, the conflict completely erupted!

That's roughly the gist of it.

After listening, Lin Yun fell into deep thought...

"I have a feeling that the Empress's side is set up like the villains..."

Judging solely from the other side's account, the Wolf King's side seemed to be the protagonist of the story.

The protagonist is determined to take his destiny into his own hands, fight against the strong with the weak, disregard his life, and rebel against the corrupt and dull-witted upper echelons!

Of course, this was only Lan Xi's side of the story, and Lin Yun only believed half of it.

Then he asked a question.

"Miss Lan, what is the general opinion of your demon race regarding that Crimson Kite Empress?"

Lan Xi paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Of course we revere her! After all, she gave us demons a place to live, and we have always regarded her as a deity!"

"I, Her Majesty the Empress, and many others lament that we were not born in that era to witness the venerable appearance of Senior Chi Yuan!"

Lin Yun glanced at Xing Wu beside him, then turned his head with a smile and said.

"I didn't expect that Empress Chi Yuan would be so important to you?"

"Of course! If I could just see him, it would be worth dying for!"

"That's an exaggeration."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile.

"But perhaps one day, you'll actually have a chance to see them alive."

Lan Xi was startled.

"real?!"

"Perhaps, sincerity is key."

Lin Yun smiled wryly, wondering what the other person would think if they knew that the person he had been dreaming of seeing was right beside him...

Xingwu sat quietly to the side; for her, the demon race of her era was already a thing of the past.

In this new era of demons, there's no one she particularly cares about anymore.

Then Lin Yun looked at Long Shishi and asked.

"Shishi, would you like to go for a walk?"
