Looking at the three thousand overjoyed female officials, Chu Xingyun knew that he had to clench his fists together to have enough strength.
Although there was a lot of Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid, it couldn't be used separately. It could only be used together to play an important role.
While muttering to himself, Chu Xingyun said, "Including the Twelve Demon Spirit Concubines, we will only accept a total of seventy-two concubines. We won't expel any more concubines, nor will we recruit any more. Thus, everyone must work hard from now on."
As soon as Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the three thousand female officials were stunned.
Most of them were fine, but there were more than twenty female officials who were already teary-eyed and choked with sobs.
Chu Xingyun didn't know how many rounds the selection of the twelve Demon Spirit Concubines had taken place, but he knew that many of the former twelve Demon Spirit Concubines had been eliminated.
The Demon Spirit Empress' plan was good, but it was too heartless. Chu Xingyun couldn't be so cruel.
In the past year, Chu Xingyun and the twelve Demon Spirit Concubines had a lot of contact. They met every two or three days. They didn't have any feelings for each other, but they did have some friendship.
Now, because of a moment of loneliness, he cruelly eliminated them. It was reasonable, but not emotional.
Although Chu Xingyun didn't want to rule with emotions, he tried his best to do so.
Chu Xingyun believed that if he treated others with emotions, they would treat him with emotions. Although it wasn't completely true, it was generally so.
Thump … Thump …
Amidst a series of sounds, more than twenty female officials knelt on the ground. Their pink faces were already covered in tears. Their throats were choked and they couldn't say a word.
These twenty female officials were once members of the twelve Demon Spirit Concubines.
However, in the last few selections, their results didn't rank in the top twelve, so they were eliminated. The academy master with better results became the twelve Demon Spirit Concubines.
What really made them so grateful was not that Chu Xingyun had allowed them to regain their power and status, but that Chu Xingyun had already treated them as family, relatives.
Because of their old friendship, he had made this rule, which was not absolutely reasonable.
One had to know that once the elimination system was abolished, it was hard to say if everyone would still be nervous or feel a sense of urgency.
Once their position was stabilized, many people would no longer work as hard.
Of course, if there were disadvantages, there would be advantages. Nothing was perfect. If there were losses, there would be gains.
Looking at Chu Xingyun in admiration, the Demon Spirit Empress had to admit that Chu Xingyun might not be suitable for politics, but he was very suitable to be an emperor.
Although the Emperor was heartless, how could a truly heartless Emperor obtain the love and support of so many people?
Although after Chu Xingyun's changes, the 72 Demon Specter Concubines would no longer have a strong sense of urgency and less pressure, resulting in a lack of motivation. Their minds and bodies would slacken, and their efforts would also decrease.
However, he couldn't just look at the bad and not the good …
In the view of the Demon Spirit Empress, after Chu Xingyun's reforms, the 72 Demon Specter Concubines had truly become a family with Zhi Zun. They were definitely of the same mind as Chu Xingyun, and the advantages were far greater than the disadvantages.
However, although the three thousand female officials were satisfied, a new problem appeared.
Frowning slightly, the Demon Spirit Empress looked at Chu Xingyun and said, "Before, there were no benefits, so the problem wasn't big. But now that there is the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid, it seems that it's not good to ignore the army."
Pa!
Slapping his head, indeed … After the Demon Spirit Empress' reminder, Chu Xingyun realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although the Demon Specter Army was also under the jurisdiction of these three thousand female officials, they were not generals in battle.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun said, "Then how about this, in addition to the 72 Demon Specter Concubines, select the 36 Demon Specter Battle Concubines. The treatment will be the same as the 72 Demon Specter Concubines."
36 Battle Concubines, 72 Concubines …
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Demon Spirit Empress immediately nodded. This scale was just right.
However, why are they called Battle Concubines and not Battle Generals? Could it be ….. that he still wanted to choose thirty-six concubines from the generals?
Although she was puzzled, the Demon Spirit Empress wasn't stupid enough to ask. There were many questions that she would rather do wrong than ask.
The Abyssal Demon Bug Clan was a matriarchal clan, and the matriarchal clan was respected. Therefore, only the girls of the Demon Spirit Clan were allowed to become the Abyssal Demon Bug Knights.
Therefore, the entire Devil Spirit Military Department was made up of 800 female Devil Spirit Officers.
These 800 female officials were the same as the 3,000 female officials in the palace. They had already dedicated their lives to the Abyss Emperor and couldn't marry or have children in their lives.
Now, thirty-six Battle Concubines were the most suitable candidates to be chosen from among the eight hundred female officers.
Although there were only 36 spots, there were very few people in the military department, only 800 or so people. Relatively speaking, the 3,000 female officials in the palace received fewer spots.
All along, Chu Xingyun and the Demon Spirit Clan's military department had no contact. After all … under Chu Xingyun's power, the Demon Spirit Military Department's power was basically negligible.
However, now that the Demon Spirit Empress had mentioned it, it was indeed not good to ignore the Demon Spirit Clan's military department. Therefore, 36 spots were given.
As for why they were called Battle Concubines, this was also a matter of course.
The generals of all levels of the Demon Spirit Military Department were all girls. If they weren't called Battle Concubines, what else could they be called?
As for whether Battle Concubines had the meaning of concubines, Chu Xingyun just casually said and didn't think too much about it.
Even if there was the meaning of concubines, they might not necessarily be Chu Xingyun's concubines.
Just like the Demon Spirit Empress and the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines, what did they have to do with Chu Xingyun?
In Chu Xingyun's view, the so-called Demon Spirit Empress and the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines were all the Abyss Emperor's!
If someone had to say that they were his, Chu Xingyun would be very helpless. Until now, he had never held a formal wedding with anyone.
Not to mention the Demon Spirit Empress, even Shui Liu Xiang, although they had their parents' orders and recognized each other, in the end, they still lacked a formal wedding.
After deciding on the 36 Battle Concubines and the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines, the 3,000 female officials immediately cheered and were full of enthusiasm.
It must be known that there were only 72 spots in total for the 3,000 female officials, and once the quota was full, there would be no more recruitment. If they didn't want to miss the opportunity, everyone had to work hard.
Although there were only 72 spots … it wouldn't be so fast to recruit all of them.
A selection would be held every three months, and only the top ten could become one of the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines.
This top ten included the current and former members of the 12 Demon Spirit Concubines. It only looked at the results and not the person.
Therefore, to gather the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines, it would take a conservative estimate of five to six years. If everything developed normally, it would take about ten years to recruit the 72 Demon Spirit Concubines.
These ten years were the ten years for Chu Xingyun to concentrate on development.
Ten years later, the Abyss Demon Insect Clan's army of ten million would officially take shape and have peak combat power.
Ten years later, the Abyss Demon Ant Clan's army of ten billion would officially recover and have peak combat power.
Therefore, under the temptation of these 36 Battle Concubines and 72 Demon Spirit Concubines, the entire Demon Spirit Clan would definitely have unprecedented development in the next ten years.
