She became a god

After all these years, Feng Jiaojiao's demeanor has become even more composed.

For some reason, Ye Qingzhou felt that the Demon Lord's cultivation seemed to have improved again.

Ye Qingzhou had never doubted her intuition, so she became even more respectful and truthfully explained the matter concerning the little monster.

However, he omitted the fact that he had actively entered the game to scheme against Long Yi, and instead changed it to being an innocent victim who was fortunately able to obtain the treasure.

After hearing the report, Feng Jiaojiao showed no change in expression. "Do you have a good opportunity to exorcise this evil spirit?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head. "No."

"This evil spirit survives by relying on the desires of living beings. As long as living beings exist, desires will not cease, and the evil spirit will be difficult to eradicate."

"Although the demon realm is full of talented people and powerful beings, it is impossible to control the thoughts of every demon."

"We can only take preventative measures against such evil spirits; it is difficult for us to take proactive action."

Feng Jiaojiao waved Feng Yanyan away before speaking, "You really have no way to lure it out?"

Of course there are, but Ye Qingzhou's ideological awareness has not yet reached that level.

If everyone knew that his blood was a great tonic for evil spirits, Ye Qingzhou had no doubt that one day he would be bled dry and turned into a dried corpse.

Defenses can not do without.

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from Feng Jiaojiao, Ye Qingzhou replied half-jokingly, "Of course there is, but this method is quite dangerous."

Feng Jiaojiao smiled. "Oh?"

Ye Qingzhou immediately explained the other method in detail.

During the great battle with the Evil Emperor ten thousand years ago, the Lu Clan of Yingdu, then the most powerful clan in the human realm, discovered a floating city—the City of Desire.

Legend has it that the City of Desire is a place specially set up by the gods to nurture and imprison countless evil spirits.

It's highly likely that this little monster escaped from the City of Desire. As long as we find the guards who watch over the City of Desire, we'll surely find a way to catch it and bring it back.

"Do you have a way to contact the gatekeepers of the City of Desire?"

"No."

After carefully glancing at Feng Jiaojiao's expression, Ye Qingzhou quickly added, "But give me some time, and I can deduce it."

"How long will it take?"

Without hesitation, Ye Qingzhou replied, "Three hundred years."

Actually, a hundred years would be enough, but if we make such a bold statement, it will be difficult to handle if something unexpected happens later.

Have you told any other fellow Daoists about this?

Ye Qingzhou promptly expressed his loyalty, saying, "The incident occurred in the Demon Realm, and as a citizen of the Demon Realm, I naturally reported it to the Demon Lord immediately."

Feng Jiaojiao said in a deep voice, "You are the disciple of the Lord of the Underworld and a close friend of Prince Ji Cunxi of the Yu Kingdom. You will be responsible for informing both parties. Starting today, I will summon all the clan leaders to discuss this matter and strengthen the control of the demon realm."

Ye Qingzhou didn't foolishly ask, "Don't you know about the other Daoists in the other realms?"

Since Feng Jiaojiao made this arrangement, she must have her reasons. Zuo You Yuantong is not in the Buddhist realm but is still training in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, so there is no need for me to reveal too much.

"what do you need?"

Only then did Ye Qingzhou dare to boldly look up and meet Feng Jiaojiao's gaze. Knowing that the Demon Lord was going to give her some equipment so that she could tell fortunes in peace, she didn't stand on ceremony. "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones as a fortune-telling fee. It would be even better if there were time-space spirit treasures to assist you."

This is a matter of great importance; asking for 100,000 high-grade spirit stones is indeed not too much.

If it weren't for telling the demon lord's fortune, Ye Qingzhou would definitely have asked for a starting price of 150,000.

As the ruler of a realm, Feng Jiaojiao had no shortage of spirit stones. With a flick of her vermilion pen, she handed Ye Qingzhou a list, saying, "Take this and go to the Treasury Bureau to collect it."

The Demon Emperor's Palace has six departments: Treasury, Military Affairs, Medicine, Literature, Treasures, and Manufacturing.

There is an unwritten rule in the demon realm that 30% of the annual tax revenue goes to the incumbent demon lord, and 70% goes to the treasury.

Being a demon lord is great; money can be spent through official channels, and every year I reap a bitter pill to swallow – a 30% tax cut.

but…

"Then where do I go to collect the Time-Space Treasure?"

Feng Jiaojiao gave Ye Qingzhou a deep look, "Why don't you ask the Lu family?"

[The Lu family's ancestor was too domineering; even the Demon Lord didn't have a spacetime magic treasure!]

But Ye Qingzhou felt that even if Feng Jiaojiao had it, she wouldn't take it out.

Time-space treasures are extremely precious; even at the height of the Lu family's power, they barely possessed a thousand of them.

After that great battle with the evil cultivators, the Lu family only had a few hundred spacetime spiritual treasures left, and only a few of them were passed down to Lu Sinian.

Alright, looks like I'll have to go back to my dad and get some gear.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to obediently retreat, Feng Jiaojiao suddenly spoke up, "Is this all you wanted to say to me?"
