She became a god

What else can be said?

Does he claim to have schemed against Long Yi and then stood by and watched Hu Ling die?

Does he claim he can summon little monsters right now?

Ye Qingzhou didn't think her relationship with Feng Jiaojiao was that good yet.

Although the Demon Lord has been diligent in governing and treating scholars with respect since ascending the throne, Feng Jiaojiao would not fail to punish him for concealing so much important information unless he is Qingluan.

So Ye Qingzhou opened his mouth and said, "I have admired the Demon Lord for many years, but every time we meet, I don't know how to start the conversation."

After saying that, he lowered his head and dared not look at Feng Jiaojiao again.

Feng Jiaojiao didn't believe her nonsense, "What do you admire about me?"

"Your unparalleled cultivation and talent for governing the country are well-known virtues, so I won't go into details. What I admire most about you, Demon Lord, is that you never fall in love, you are single-minded in pursuing the Dao, and you sacrifice personal love for the greater good. Whenever my mother asks me to meet some young man, I can't help but envy your carefree attitude."

Why don't you cultivate the path of ruthlessness?

Even though Ye Qingzhou was always carefree, she couldn't understand why the topic suddenly turned into questioning her path of cultivation. She could only smile and reply, "I don't want to limit myself. Even though I am now certain that I have no feelings for love, if one day a fellow cultivator appears who moves my heart, no matter what the outcome, I don't want to miss out on him."

Don't show up, or I'm afraid I'll kill you.

Feng Jiaojiao chuckled, "Hypocritical. The reason I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness is simple: I just don't want to relinquish power."

"Throughout history, countless powerful beings have relinquished their hard-earned cultivation resources based on the concept of love. I cannot do that."

As I predicted, aside from Princess Qingluan, I doubt any fellow Daoist will be able to gain any advantage over the Demon Lord.

Ye Qingzhou would never be foolish enough to say things like "true love is priceless" or "make concessions for love." In essence, she and Feng Jiaojiao are the same type of person.

The thought of someone being able to legitimately use her resources made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

What's hers is hers. Except for a little bit that she might let slip through her fingers when she's in a good mood, she'll keep the rest firmly in her hand.

"Ye Qingzhou, I admire you. You seem to be affectionate but are actually ruthless. You are a good candidate to cultivate the path of ruthlessness."

"Tell me, if you really want a certain treasure, but the treasure requires that only sentient beings can obtain it, what should you do?"

Ye Qingzhou blinked. Wasn't this just his own broken simp system?

He insisted on being a simp and even encouraged himself to pursue multiple career paths. He was rewarded for being a good simp and punished for being a bad one. Luckily, he knew how to exploit system loopholes, otherwise he would have really become a simp/playboy panda.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou earnestly suggested, "First, truly fall in love, and after obtaining the treasure, kill your husband to prove your Dao."

"Secondly, there are many kinds of affection and love. Find a compatible and sensible cultivator and fully express the affection that is not based on sexual attraction."

"Third, let's get rid of this treasure. Out with the new, in with the old. The next treasure will be better."

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiaojiao said, "There won't be anything better."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou's curiosity was piqued. Any treasure that could elicit such a statement from Feng Jiaojiao must be a rare gem, at least a mid-grade Heavenly Spiritual Treasure or higher.

I'm so envious, I really want a piece of the pie.

But the will to survive brought Ye Qingzhou back to her senses. Not every opportunity is worth seizing, and it depends on the person. She couldn't afford to offend Feng Jiaojiao.

However, "I am young and have little experience. Demon Lord, you can ask some seniors. They will surely have better insights."

[They only asked me this question, and I'm so afraid of being silenced!]

Feng Jiaojiao knew it was strange that she asked Ye Qingzhou, but this opportunity came from listening to Ye Xingming and following Ye Qingzhou for ten years.

Since Ye Qingzhou was her opportunity, she also believed that the solution to the problem lay with Ye Qingzhou. She would never give up this great opportunity.

"I have calculated that only you can solve my problem."

Cultivators in the cultivation world all possess some rough calculation skills, which are relatively accurate in matters of life and death and major opportunities.

Ye Qingzhou first silently calculated a divination in his mind before smiling and saying, "It is my honor to serve the Demon Lord."

Great, at least we can have some meat broth!
