It was true that there was another disaster in the south. The news was urgently sent back by Bai You. Bai You had always been kind. In the face of the disaster, he was always the most worried. When he encountered a problem, he would immediately ask Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng for help, hoping to prevent the disaster before it happened.
Chu Xiang did not like to give up halfway. Since she was in charge of the disaster, she had to take care of it to the end. So she left the capital overnight and rushed to the disaster area with a group of demons under her command at the fastest speed.
Chu Xiang asked her demons to wait in the outskirts of the city. She went directly into Bai Yi's tent. Bai Yi raised her head. There was less sadness and more determination in her eyes. Seeing that it was Chu Xiang, she was obviously relieved. She stood up to welcome her.
"Sister, you're finally here! The situation here had just stabilized. Bai You calculated that there would be a flood in three days. It might drown here. He went to discuss with the prefectural magistrate about the evacuation. It's not easy to evacuate. We have to discuss everything. I don't know if it will succeed. I don't know if other places are willing to accept these victims. "
Chu Xiang pulled her out without saying anything. "Let's go. Take me to see it. Tell me the details of the situation."
"Okay." Bai Yi took Chu Xiang to see the victims and patients who had been settled, as well as the collapsed houses and the destroyed farmlands. Then, she took her to the river to see the unusual situation in the water. On the way, she explained everything that had happened in the past few months in detail.
The rain continued to fall heavily. Chu Xiang flew to the surface of the river. She crouched down and attached a layer of spiritual energy to her hand. She stretched her hand into the water and felt the abnormal flow of the river water. After a moment, she had an idea.
She frowned slightly and looked at the green mountains around her. It was so quiet that there was not even a bird's cry. "There's going to be a flood here. Not only rainstorms and floods, but also mountain floods. "
Bai Yi looked worried. "Sister, what should we do? Many patients are seriously ill. It's impossible for them to evacuate in three days. It's very likely that they will die because of the turbulence. We've worked so hard for so long. Is it still not enough? "
"Of course not." Chu Xiang stood with her hands behind her back. She looked at the river thoughtfully. After a while, she said, "Since this is a disaster and not an earthquake, the flood is not to fight or punish anyone. As long as we can stop the flood, we will be able to resolve this disaster. "
Bai Yi blinked and looked at her in surprise. "Sister, you are … we? Using demon power? But we, we are demons. Will something go wrong if we interfere with the imperial court's disaster relief so blatantly? Those senior humans can't tolerate us. If many people know of our existence, they will do everything they can to kill us. "
Chu Xiang chuckled, "That's only if they have the ability. Don't worry, Yu Feng has been paving the way for my identity for a long time. In this one month, people's impression of demons is no longer as rigid as before. It's time for me to personally add fuel to the fire. If you want to be exposed to the sunlight, you have to go through a struggle. Did you see the look of anticipation on those demons' faces? Do you still remember how Bai You escaped silently and was wrongly accused? Only those who were truly recognized could live a comfortable life in the human world. Humans and demons should not oppose each other. I am willing to establish order in the Demon Realm so that humans and demons can coexist peacefully. What about you? "
There was no Demon King in the Demon Realm. Everyone cultivated on their own, but by default, no one disturbed anyone, and no one went to another's territory to behave atrociously. If they really bumped into each other, the strong would be respected. This was an eternal truth. Now Chu Xiang wanted to establish order in the Demon Realm? Then Chu Xiang meant that she wanted to proclaim herself as Queen?
Bai Yi couldn't help but feel her blood boil, "Of course I support elder sister. I will support whatever decision you make! Elder sister, are you doing this for Li Yu Feng? I've never heard of you wanting to care about the Demon Realm. Now that Li Yu Feng wants to make you the next Empress, are you … "
"No." Chu Xiang shook her head and smiled helplessly at her, "You ah, your brain can't turn around. Why do I have to do everything for a man? If I want to do something, it must be because I want to do it. Maybe it's just a whim and I just did it when I thought of it. As for the Empress position, do you think I will accept it gratefully? "
Bai Yi thought about Li Yu Feng's attitude towards Chu Xiang and subconsciously shook her head, "It doesn't seem like it. It's Li Yu Feng who begged you to be the Empress. He was afraid that you wouldn't be willing and wouldn't give him the title. Elder sister … I thought wrongly, I thought … "
Chu Xiang pinched her soft cheeks, "It's because you don't put yourself first that you are so easily taken advantage of. Remember, no matter how much you love someone in the future, don't put yourself in a lower position than him. He doesn't give anything to you, it's whether you want it or not. Remember? "
"I remember, elder sister." Bai Yi rubbed her face and muttered, "I just didn't think that you would want to be the Demon King. Those demons are harder to manage than the last. Who knows how much trouble they will cause? That's right, elder sister, what if there are evil demons and others blame it on you? "
"There have been many evil things in the past. What does it have to do with whether they are humans or demons? In the future, the people will only be divided into good and bad, not humans and demons. Humans and demons will all be citizens of our dynasty and should live and work in peace. Moreover, humans can ask demons for help and have them do good deeds to help them cultivate. Demons can easily enrich our dynasty's resources by taking things from the mountains and forests. Living in harmony will allow the country to prosper to the greatest extent, so why not? Once humans and demons get benefits, no one will have any more objections. "
Bai Yi nodded as if she understood, but she was still very confused, "Then what should we do?"
Chu Xiang looked at the surging river and revealed a faint smile, "In order to show our sincerity, let's first give humans a big gift."
Chu Xiang issued a summons, summoning all demons to come to the disaster area within three days.
During this time, the reputation of "Fairy Empress" had spread far and wide. It was a strange thing that the demons under her were doing good deeds everywhere, and it spread throughout the demon world. Most demons were waiting to see what she wanted to do. Once this summons was issued, all the demons knew.
Some demons snorted at this, some demons were bored and rushed over, and some demons were kind and willing to help. Of course, there were also those who dared not offend Chu Xiang and went without thinking.
In short, except for a portion of demons who ignored Chu Xiang, about two-thirds of the demons gathered in the mountains not far from the disaster area. Among these two-thirds, there were some who were watching the fun and hadn't decided whether to help or not. But after seeing Chu Xiang, they all agreed to stay.
What a joke, Chu Xiang's reward was a top grade pill. Since they were already here, wouldn't they be fools if they didn't want it? Anyway, it was just a piece of cake for them to control the flood and use demon techniques.
Then, the more they interacted with Chu Xiang, the more they were convinced by Chu Xiang. In the Demon Realm, 'the strong are respected' was not an empty phrase. Every demon had a strong mentality, and Chu Xiang was not only strong in one aspect. They simply could not find any weakness in her. They even truly understood why the commoners gave her the title of 'Fairy'. She really deserved this title!
Chu Xiang ordered all the demons who were good at medicine to treat the patients; those who were good at magic to carry materials to build the dam and move boulders to block the flood; those who were good at confusing people to appease the desperate victims; those who were good at raising money and materials; those who were careful and gentle to distribute materials and make porridge and medicine.
There were also those who were in charge of managing the village, patrolling, hunting, building houses, and so on. Demons were in charge of all aspects, and they were all in their own fields. Every demon felt very fresh and worked very hard. Every time they did something and received the gratitude of the victims, their hearts were full, happy, and full.
Chu Xiang wanted to do something, so of course, she didn't want to keep a low profile. She didn't hide the fact that these do-gooders who came out of nowhere were all demons. She directly took the emperor's handwritten order to the magistrate and took over the management of the Curtain Land, asking the magistrate and the officials to cooperate with her unconditionally.
The officials here had been changed and were originally Li Yufeng's people. She was the princess of Lord Xiaoyao and had the emperor's handwritten order, so they naturally followed her orders. Even if some people didn't agree and didn't believe in demons, they all cooperated fully. No one made trouble or dragged her down.
The effect of demon power was far beyond the imagination of human beings, especially when hundreds and thousands of demons did the same thing together. In just three days, the disaster area had changed a lot. Not only were there tidy and clean houses for the victims to live in, but there were also enough food, medicine, and doctors. Even a dam had been built at the riverside, which made people feel helpless. They had made all the necessary preparations, so the people who were originally terrified easily accepted these fairies who brought them warmth.
In the face of danger, who would care whether they were humans or demons? Those who could help them were their benefactors. Even if they were demons, they were good demons. Otherwise, why would they save them?
Chu Xiang chose a good time. When the people here were most desperate, it was not the imperial court or the Bodhisattva who saved them, but the demons led by Chu Xiang. No matter what they thought of demons before, this time they sincerely accepted these demons and were grateful to these demons from the bottom of their hearts.
The three days that Bai You calculated had arrived. From early in the morning, there was an ominous feeling that a storm was coming. It was gloomy and the trees were swaying from the strong wind. The sand and stones were blown up by the wind and could even scratch people's faces.
Chu Xiang ordered the whole city to be under martial law. No one was allowed to go out. The demons were scattered in various places to patrol. The big demons were arranged by Chu Xiang to guard over a dozen specific places. She set up the flood-control array. The spiritual power of these big demons was what activated the array.
Bai You brought the demons who had water techniques into the water and kept calming the surging water. The rain poured down, making people unable to open their eyes. But this was just a matter of time for the demons. None of them were drenched by the rain. They all followed Chu Xiang's instructions.
All the people leaned against the window to see the situation outside. They were afraid, nervous, and curious. Everyone saw Chu Xiang slowly rise into the air. This was the first time they truly understood that Chu Xiang was a demon.
Chu Xiang carefully felt the wind direction and the density of the rain. She calculated with her fingers and gave the order at the most appropriate time. "Divert the water! Divert the water to other places. All the demons in the mountain listen to my order. Move the trees and stones and stop the flood! "
"Yes!"
The people did not see who was casting the spell. They only saw that the rain falling from the sky was no longer falling straight down. Instead, it split into several waves and was diverted in different directions. In the distance was the mountainside. Many trees and boulders were moving.
They had never seen such a spectacle before. Perhaps the people had never seen it before. Everyone exclaimed and subconsciously stared with wide eyes.
It was not just the rain in the sky. There was also the river and river water being diverted to different places by the demons with water techniques. They were all safe places. The water source on the mountain was the most important. Many demons kept casting spells to stop the flood.
However, the rain became heavier. An hour later, dozens of voices reached Chu Xiang's ears.
"Sister Chu, we can't divert anymore. The water level in the river over there is too high!"
"Sister Chu, the flood is about to erupt. There are not enough trees and stones nearby. We might not be able to stop it!"
"Sister Chu, the water is becoming more and more unstable. I don't have enough spiritual power. I need someone else."
"Sister Chu, I have a child who ran out and slipped into the water. I'll go save him. Send someone to replace me to patrol!"
Chu Xiang looked at the situation. She threw the artifact that she had refined three times into the river. This artifact had the same effect as the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle. Its purpose was to stabilize the river water. However, she did not have enough materials and the refining time was short. Of course, the effect was several times worse than the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle. It could only stabilize the river water temporarily. The artifact was constantly being used up. She could not rely on this to completely solve the problem.
The flood was inevitable. She had to weaken the flood's power before it arrived. Otherwise, with such a huge disaster, even if their demon powers were strong and they had her ancient array, they might not be able to stop it.
In such a huge city with a huge population, there were also many unexpected incidents. Some were about to give birth, some were suddenly critically ill, some were disobedient and ran out to meet with danger. There were also cases of houses collapsing. There were many, many cases where the patrolling demons were rescuing people. The demons who were good at medicine were also constantly running around. They did not want anyone to die in this disaster.
There were only so many water element demons. After holding on for so long, their spiritual power was almost exhausted. They could not hold on any longer. Finally, when they were exhausted, the flood roared like a ferocious beast. Chu Xiang said seriously, "Demons, listen to my order. Activate the flood-control array. Follow me and stop the flood!"
"Yes!!"
They responded in unison. Dozens of demons channeled their spiritual power into the array at the same time. Chu Xiang who was at the eye of the array sat down cross-legged and performed the incantation to activate the flood-control array.
Dozens of light pillars were projected to the horizon. It was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes. Then, the light pillars were like a barrier. They blocked the raging flood and also blocked the Yama King's talisman!
