Seeing Yun Zhiqiu's wary expression, Xiong Wei coughed dryly.
"Please don't mind them, sister-in-law. These guys have been cooped up in the Sea of Constellations for too long. They're used to messing around with each other."
On the surface, Yun Zhiqiu smiled, but deep down, she was still on guard. These demons could joke around with each other and touch their wives, but she couldn't, and she wouldn't allow other men to touch her. She was already married, and her reputation as a whore was already well known. If Miao Yi misunderstood her, she wouldn't be able to live.
Such was the way of the world. It was normal for men to have multiple wives, but a woman's chastity was as important as heaven itself.
Even though she wore revealing clothes back then, she was still a traditional person. Otherwise, Miao Yi wouldn't have been the one to mess with her, and Feng Xuan would've gotten his way a long time ago. Even though she often called herself a whore in front of Miao Yi, that was just lip service. In reality, she was always concerned about Miao Yi's reaction. To put it bluntly, she was just testing his reaction, which meant that she was actually a little fragile.
Although she appeared to be generous and nonchalant about the matter with Feng Xuan, she was actually feeling inferior. After all, she hadn't married Miao Yi so innocently. Otherwise, with her competitive nature, she probably wouldn't have tolerated Miao Yi taking in a concubine. Subconsciously, she thought of it as a form of compensation to Miao Yi, but she didn't realize it herself.
"We still need some time to get there. Niu Er still has thirty-two empty seats. I'm afraid I won't be able to answer to my superiors if I take too long. I'll be going first!" Yun Zhiqiu bowed slightly.
"Please!" Xiong Wei and Hong Tian extended their hands in invitation.
Yun Zhiqiu turned to leave, but stopped at the door. She turned around and summoned Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle.
The four hosts didn't know what she meant, but Yun Zhiqiu took out four Star Bells and handed them to each of them. She taught them how to form their transcendent seals. As for the rhythm of the bells, that was up to them.
The four hosts were overjoyed. Yun Zhiqiu had sealed off the passage between the large and small worlds. They were worried that something might happen, but they didn't even know what was going on. With these Star Bells, things would be much easier. At the very least, they could communicate with each other if something happened.
In order to establish a way to communicate with each other, the four of them delayed Yun Zhiqiu by another two hours.
Once everything was settled, the four of them apologized to Yun Zhiqiu. "Big Brother, Fourth Brother, if there's any trouble at the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch, I'd like to ask you to take care of them. That's Niu Er's escape route in the Celestial Nation."
"No problem. Just let me know if you need anything." Xiong Wei agreed readily.
Yun Zhiqiu thanked him. Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle went back into the beast sack.
"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, there's no need to send us off. Yun Zhiqiu asked the two of them to stay for a while, then returned to his lodgings alone. He ordered the carpenter and stonemason to return to Jade Capital Peak, then stored the Ouyang sisters and the others into a beast sack. Only then did he take to the skies, vanishing from sight.
Xiong Wei and Hong Tian stood at the entrance of the hall and looked up.
Yun Zhiqiu, who was traveling alone in the vast starry sky, only landed on a desolate planet after entering the airspace of a large world. She released her demonic beasts, not allowing the Ouyang sisters and the others to show themselves.
Only then did Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle reveal the purpose of their trip.
"A Greater World!" The demons exclaimed in shock. They were pleasantly surprised to find themselves in the legendary Greater World!
They scanned their surroundings to see if there were any differences between a Greater World and a Lesser World. However, the starry sky still looked the same, and they didn't notice anything out of place.
"Everyone, please listen to me. A Greater World is even more dangerous than a Lesser World …" Yun Zhiqiu began to explain the things they needed to pay attention to in a Greater World. Meanwhile, Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle would occasionally chime in, warning the demons not to mess things up.
When Lie Huan learned that Fifth Lord Miao Yi had already established himself in the Greater World and had become the Celestial Court's Commander, he asked, "Madam Fifth, what kind of official position is a Commander?"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled. "That's hard to say. It depends on the situation. You'll know once you get there. Under normal circumstances, a Commander can command a planet like a Lesser World. "
Fu Qing said, "Everyone, remember this. You are not allowed to address him as Fifth Lord in public. You must address him as Commander Niu Youde. "
"Niu Youde?" Hu Fei asked curiously. "Why does this name sound so familiar? Host, the Brass Gong Fort massacre all those years ago was committed by someone called Niu Youde, right? "
Fu Qing rolled his eyes. "Do I need you to remind me?"
Hu Fei snickered. "Could it have been Fifth Lord?"
Now that things had come to this, there was no point in pursuing this matter any further. Fu Qing gestured for Yun Zhiqiu to continue.
Seeing how unruly they were, Yun Zhiqiu reminded them of the dangers of the Greater World and the rules of the Celestial Court. She especially described a bunch of legendary cultivators with boundless transcendence energy and the Colorful Lotus realm. The Yao cultivators sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this. Only then did they realize that there wasn't much of a difference between being a White Lotus cultivator in the Greater World and a Lesser World. There were plenty of people who could easily crush them to death.
However, when they took to the skies and set off once more, the group of Yao cultivators began to howl in excitement!
When they arrived at Heaven's Origin Planet, Yun Zhiqiu separated from the group. It wasn't appropriate for them to appear together on Heaven's Origin Planet. She had already used the star bell to inform Miao Yi that the old demons had arrived. Now that she had brought the old demons here, there was nothing else for her to do. She left the rest to Miao Yi.
When the group of demons arrived at the east gate, they were welcomed by the Heavenly Guards. It was easy to recognize them, and the demonic aura emanated from the group of demons as they gathered together.
After seeing the group of demons enter the city and be taken away, Yun Zhiqiu finally revealed herself after changing her appearance and entered the east gate alone.
She didn't return to the Cloud Beauty Restaurant. Instead, she went to a small shop in the corner diagonally opposite the restaurant.
Coincidentally, just as Miao Yi was thinking about finding a shop, someone in the Celestial Court suddenly committed a crime, accusing them of colluding with rebels. After dealing with it, Miao Yi issued a joint order to confiscate their properties. Coincidentally, a few shops were confiscated on Heaven's Street, and two in the Eastern District.
Naturally, Miao Yi couldn't miss out on this opportunity. However, with his abilities, he couldn't just take everything for free. He would have to pay for it, but even then, he might not be able to buy it. Thus, Miao Yi shamelessly sought out Kou Wenlan and asked for her help. The reason was that the Lady Boss of the Cloud Beauty Restaurant wanted to help her friend set up a shop.
Kou Wenlan was impressed and asked him, "She's already married. Madam Biyue already told you last time, why aren't you willing to give up?"
Miao Yi replied, "She was going to ask Madam Biyue for help, but I was the one who rushed to help her. Commander, you can't ignore my lifelong happiness!"
"He's a married man. What kind of happiness is that!" Kou Wenlan sneered, but she still helped him.
Miao Yi gave up on the big shop. Firstly, he couldn't afford it, and secondly, someone was already eyeing it. The small shop was sold to Miao Yi cheaply, almost at half price, but it still cost three trillion Red Crystals.
A shop that occupied less than two mu of land would normally cost at least five trillion Red Crystals. This wasn't something that could be bought with money. Luckily, Kou Wenlan had come forward and asked for the shop. Not only did she give him the shop, she even saved twenty thousand Red Crystals for Kou Wenlan's sake. She wasn't even in a hurry to pay up.
Although it was expensive, it was still worth it to buy it. He could make a profit by reselling it. Naturally, Miao Yi wanted to buy it. Besides, the shop was only a street away from Yun Zhiqiu's.
After entering the messy shop and confirming that there was no one inside, Yun Zhiqiu removed her disguise and summoned the Ouyang sisters and the others to explain the situation.
The two sisters were shocked to learn that they had come to the higher realm.
"I will have Qian'Er and Xue'Er explain the situation to you in detail later. As for the four of you, listen up. This is a matter of everyone's life and death. We cannot take in outsiders. If Milord doesn't take you in within a month, think about the consequences yourself. When that happens, don't blame me for being merciless. I will not joke around with the lives of an entire family! "Yun Zhiqiu warned as she swept a cold glance at Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua.
The four girls trembled in fear. They were both afraid and embarrassed. They were going to become Milord's women within a month. This was something they were both nervous about and excited about when they married into the family. They stole glances at their two masters.
Ouyang?? They hurriedly said, "Milord, please calm down. We will make arrangements when we meet Milord!"
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Let's cut to the chase. It's not easy to take down a shop in Sky Street. Let's go to the Commander's Office and register with Milord first. The four of you wait here. You're not familiar with this place, so don't wander around. I will have Qian'Er and Xue'Er bring some men to clean up this place for you. "
"Understood!" The four girls answered obediently. They didn't dare to disobey the first wife.
Yun Zhiqiu turned around and left with the Ouyang sisters.
Inside the grand hall of the Commander's Office in the Eastern District, Miao Yi was sitting high up on his throne. A group of old demons came in and saw him, and their eyes lit up.
Miao Yi waved his hand at his subordinates, signaling them to leave. Then, he walked down the stairs and cupped his fists, saying, "Second Brother, Third Brother, I've missed you so much!"
"Old Fifth! You've worked hard! "Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle held his arms.
The other demons bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, Lord Fifth!"
"You're all here!" Miao Yi chuckled. "You can address me like that when there are no outsiders around. Just call me Commander when there are outsiders around."
"Understood!" The demons replied.
"Let's go! Let's settle our identities first. Then, follow me to the City Guard Palace. We can talk about this later. " Miao Yi called out to the crowd and strode out of the grand hall. He immediately called for someone to go to the Morality Sundry Goods Store and invite Bao Lian over.
Once they left the Commander's Office, they saw the bustling streets outside. They had never seen such a scene before, and they were all amazed. Hu Fei and the other women were especially impressed. Their eyes were practically glowing, and they were already thinking about how to take a good look around later.
When they arrived at the City Guard Palace and saw Kou Wenlan, the demons couldn't help but think, 'This Commander is so dark-skinned. Only the whites of her eyes and teeth are white.' When they saw Kou Wenlan's girly appearance as she shook out her handkerchief, they were all dumbfounded.
Kou Wenlan was also puzzled as she looked at the demons. It wasn't because they were all demons, but because almost half of them looked too old, like Fu Qing. In the end, it was all because the cultivation resources in the Lesser Worlds were insufficient. They couldn't compare to the Golden Lotus cultivators in the Greater Worlds, who all looked quite young.
