Chapter 10 The Arrangement of the Beasts

  His heart skipped a beat, Mo Jiu tightly wrapped his arms around Qing Kuang's slender waist, deepening the kiss. He had waited for this! Finally waited for it! Xiao Ya was actually concerned about him, was this what human emotions were like? It was wonderful, wonderfully unbelievable!

  "Are you stupid...?" She muttered, softly enduring the man's kiss.

  Wrap those soft lips, Mo Jiu Yu really wanted to swallow her down, never to part again.

  "Hand... hand..." Just as she was about to struggle free, the man refused to let her go no matter what.

  "Sister, I'm so happy, I'm almost crazy with happiness. Just let me hug you ~ just let me hug you is enough ~"

  Listening to Mo Jiu's excited voice, she leaned gently against him, wiping away her tears on the man's body. Only then did she sniffle and savor the warmth of this moment.

  "Girl, I originally thought it would take a long time to hear you say that, so can you imagine my joy just now?" Mo Jiu Yu whispered in her ear, his thin lips occasionally brushing against her delicate cheek.

  "Mojie, human hearts are made of flesh and blood. I know you're good to me, but I don't want to see you get hurt for my sake again. If that's the case, then I'd rather become an ordinary person. So promise me, don't get hurt, okay?" The two were intimate like swans with entwined necks, leaning on each other and pouring out their thoughts.

  "Little silly! Alright, alright, come down quietly. Although I like seeing you pout at me, let's take a look at this Flame Heart first!" In a place where Qing Kuang couldn't see, Mo Jiao's eyes were full of smiles, but she also calmly changed the subject.

  "Not going down, hold on!" She shook her head and suddenly became willful, fearing that if she saw the man's face again, she would cry out loud once more.

  "Alright, alright, I've got you, got you~" She chuckled softly, Mo Jiu You looked at the person stuck to her with some amusement. Such a little scamp was truly rare to see!

  "Does your hand still hurt?" He asked with a hint of concern as he slightly straightened up.

  "Look, it's all healed!" The injured hand was revealed, and the red blisters from earlier had indeed disappeared. The joints of the hand were once again clear and distinct, a testament to the demon clan's impressive regenerative abilities.

  Chose a place with tree shade, Mo Jiu Ling floated in the air and sat down, holding Qing Kuang in her arms, looking at the coquettish beauty, the smile on her mouth never disappeared.

  "Ah, you like leaning on me that much, huh?" The response was a gentle tightening of her arms around the man's waist.

  "Alright, let's take a look at this flame heart then. It's better to solve your problem as soon as possible, I don't want to see you frowning every day, hmm~"

  "Don't look, just hold me!" She buried her face in the man's chest, her gentle struggle was both with herself and with the anger towards that scorching heart.

  "Really don't want it? Then I'll throw it away, anyway my daughter doesn't want it either..."

  "Who said that!" This was obtained by a man who suffered such serious injuries, how could she not want it?

  "You say you're stupid and you don't even believe it, deceiving yourself~ Ah, here, take a look, see if it's useful, can it suppress the dark system?" After changing her position to expose her face, Mo Jiu You finally placed Yan Xin in front of her.

  Looking at the Flame Core in front of him, a faint yellow color with a slight white glow, its irregular shape changing into flames one moment and then into an oval shape the next, all under Mo Jiu's control, suspended in the palm of his hand. Its unimpressive appearance made it impossible to see what was special about it, he really didn't know why so many people were flocking to it.

  "What's this used for?"

  "Just absorb it completely with fire-based spiritual power." Mo Jiu Yu thought back to what he had seen before, answering affirmatively, after all, that's what other humans did.

  "But I don't want to, if I absorb it, it'll be gone." Compared to the Dragon Ring she had before, she cherished this small flame core even more, after all, it represented a man's sacrifice for her, and he had even disregarded the danger he himself was in.

  "It's nothing, at worst I'll just get it for you again." He was only slightly injured, and he didn't care that much. Apparently the man had misunderstood the meaning of "lightly".

  "I won't allow it, this is enough!" He tightly grasped Mo Jiu You's hand, and didn't dare say another word.

  "Give it a try." The man sent Yan Xin in front of Qing Kuang, looking at her expectantly.

  She flipped over and sat down, suppressing all her thoughts to the bottom of her heart. Following his instructions, she slowly wrapped the small flame core with the fire-type spiritual power. In an instant, the fierce flame core seemed to have found its home and gradually merged into the fiery red spiritual power until it disappeared. Seeing this scene, Qing Kuang raised an eyebrow in surprise, is that it?

  However, as she withdrew her spiritual energy, the raging flames instantly engulfed her. The Flame Heart slowly entered the Fire Spirit Pearl along with her spiritual energy, and suddenly the pearl was like a divine aid, bursting forth with an angry red light and powerful momentum that completely suppressed the other spirit pearls. Even its size had increased several times in an instant. The small Flame Heart was slowly spreading out, clearly intending to gradually fill the entire spirit pearl. At this time, the spirit pearl was rapidly spinning, continuously absorbing external spiritual energy for her use. She felt the violent surge of her meridians and the relaxation of her pores, and naturally ignored the flash of golden light in the spirit pearl that seemed to be reviving something.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, a worried face instantly appeared before him.

  "How does it feel? Is it useful?"

  "Not bad, the fire-type spiritual power has been soaring and shows no signs of stopping."

  "Are you holding back?"

  "Uh-huh..." She nodded, her tense expression relaxing a bit. She actually hoped that the fire-type spiritual power could reach an even higher level.

  "That's good, that's good. I don't have to face the sulky little girl every day either. Now you can eat well and become a chubby little girl, soft and fluffy."

  When she heard this, a warmth spread through her chest. This person always thought of her, worrying that she would eat too little and harm her body. When did a demon king ever care about a human's eating habits? Yet, this person really treated eating as a top priority, and from the details, it was clear that he had truly placed her in his heart, always thinking of how to treat her best.

  "What's wrong, why are you staring at me like that?" Mo Jiu Yu looked at the little girl in front of him with a puzzled expression, then checked himself again, but there was nothing different about him!

  She stretched out her hand and looked at him with a gentle and eager gaze.

  "What's going on, why are you so sticky today? You weren't like this before!" He chuckled and said, it was the first time he saw someone like a little kid. However, Mo Jiu You said that, but with a pleasant mood, stretched out his hand and gave him a big hug.

  "Don't you like it?"

  "How could I not? Of course, I love it, love it to death!" He kissed her heavily, his tone was light and cheerful, anyone could see that he was in an extremely good mood.

  "If you like it, then hold on to it!" Previously, she was always passive, and now that this person likes her taking the initiative, being bold to the point of being out of line is no big deal. The emotions between two people need to be maintained, and it shouldn't be a one-sided endless sacrifice. Besides, a man in one's own home not only needs to be obedient but also needs to be pampered and accommodated; otherwise, wouldn't that give other women an opportunity?

  "So obedient?"

  "What's wrong, isn't it good enough for you to have your way with me?" She glared at the man with a hint of mischief on her face, which couldn't hide her smile.

  "Alright, of course!" A bright light flashed before her eyes, Mo Jiu pinched a handful of Xiao Cang's cheek, scratching the itch nonstop while gazing at her with affection.

  Laughter echoed far away, and the two people around them were full of warmth, like a rainbow after the rain, but did the "darkness" of this village really pass so easily?

  "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Where does my little girl want to go next? What does she want to do?" The bright and mischievous eyes sparkled after a hearty laugh, making Mo Jiu's heart even softer.

  "Hmm... go find the herbs!" She originally came here to look for herbs, didn't expect such an accident to happen, and her goal this time was to find the herbs that could cure Chuyue's eyes.

  "Alright, let's go find the herbs!" Indeed, the revitalized little girl was radiant and full of life, turning her dizzy head back to normal.

  Speaking of herbs, Qing Kuang suddenly remembered that Pao and Qiu had also found some things.

  Let all the little ones out, gluttony, Pi Xiu, Blue Spirit, First Snow, one by one are all divine beasts. It's actually surprising for Ben Lei. Is this young master going to defy the heavens? How is it possible for a human to contract so many demons? And they're all divine beasts! I really don't know if he should be told that he has also contracted a demon servant, or if he would go crazy from fear.

  Mo Jiu You, who was watching from the side, suddenly remembered that he had left earlier and as a result, Xiao Tuan was injured.

  "Hey, here you go!" The little monster with the seven-colored soil was handed over to Qingkuang. Mo Jiu's mood had always been good, so she didn't mind that Qingkuang was holding onto that old broken tiger.

  "What is it? Youxu?" Wait until the man nodded, with a look of surprise and excitement in his eyes wide open, "It's Youxu, but why can't I see her, why doesn't she respond to me?"

  "Don't worry, it's just dormant now, as long as there is soil, it will wake up soon."

  "Really?" Embracing the first snow, lightly holding onto this small basin of seven-colored soil. This seven-colored soil is not divided into seven pieces or layers, but every grain of sand is seven colors, and under the light, it's very dazzling. In the outside world, only that "forbidden" place has this seven-colored soil, which is Mo Jiu You, also known as "taken" with great care.

  "Are you happy?" Looking at the small animals around him, Mo Jiu was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with them. Since Xiao Jie liked it, he would reluctantly love everything about her too. As for Ben Lei on the side, he had been ignored by him.

  "Ah, ah, I'm so happy! It would be even better if the little demon could wake up sooner!" She kissed the man lightly and stroked the small white ceramic basin gently, reluctant to let go.

  "Master~ I also want to pamper you~" The little guy leaned forward, feeling that the male master was in a good mood today and his movements were bolder.

  "Really, Jiao Jiao also misses Yao'er. When Yao'er wakes up, she can play with Jiao Jiao." Gently stroking Jiao Jiao's little head, Liang was extremely satisfied with this life. If only Hui'er were by her side, it would be even better.

  "Master, I ~" Ever since Mo Jiu took out the seven-colored soil, Pixiu's line of sight has not left it. There is a treasure there, she wants it so much ~ But that is for the master, what to do ~

  Looking at Pixiu's drooling big eyes, Qingkuang knew what she was thinking about. However, upon noticing her messy fur again, he frowned, "Pixiu come here, Master will help you trim your fur."

  "Repair... trim?" Looking puzzled at Qingkuang, the little guy also squeezed in front of Qingkuang.

  Put the little monster back in space, and lightly take out a pair of scissors that were used to cut clothes before, thinking about where to start. "Right, the master will help you trim it, and then it won't be ugly, after a long time, the fur will grow out, and at that time, Pixiu will be beautiful again. As for the seven-colored soil, now the little monster is sleeping inside, when she wakes up, the soil will be given to Pixiu."

  "Give it to... me?" As expected, upon hearing this, the little guy's amber-colored big eyes lit up instantly, and his small paws rested on Light Crazy's leg, being extremely well-behaved.

  With a snip of the scissors, she cleared away the layer of charred ash on the surface. The little guy didn't move, just letting her do as she pleased. The master said that the fur would grow back out, and also, the master said to give the treasure to her, hehe, now there's a treasure!

  "Master, I'm hungry and want to eat something you've made." The little guy was a foodie, but he could also tell people's emotions. Seeing that Master was in a good mood now, he quickly made his request.

  "Alright, Master will make it for you, what delicacies do you want to eat?"

  "Eat meat, also fish, don't want spicy, and also..."

  Listening to the little guy ordering food with his head tilted, Liang didn't interrupt him, but instead looked at the first snow in her arms, still feeling a bit sad. Glancing at Blue Spirit on the side, she found that this guy had become much quieter now.

  "Gluttony has finished speaking, does Blue Spirit have any wishes?"

  "Master, can you find me a physical body?" The childish voice was vastly different from the usual offender. Blue Spirit floated in front of Qing Kuang, looking at her expectantly. If she had a physical body, she could protect Master, instead of being useless and only able to watch from the side.

  "Hmm...” This Blue Spirit is a dragon, where can she find a dragon's physical body for her?! But she had promised both Taotie and Pixiu, so it wouldn't be right to not promise the Blue Spirit either. She looked at Mo Jiao Yu with a pleading expression, making eyes at him nonstop.

  Always watching the little girl and the demons getting along, Mo Jiu Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, but had to admit that the atmosphere was very warm, just like a family. When she received a glance from Qing Kuang, she approached, and took the opportunity to steal a kiss.

  "This matter is not easy to handle, girl. You don't know what kind of luck this is. Not a single contract beast around you is simple." The man said with a hint of meaning, his gaze shifting towards Chusnow and Blue Spirit, those two things that were only found in that place.

  "Isn't it manageable?" The man's hand paused in his action, this was the first time he had ever said something couldn't be done.

  "This little dragon's identity is not simple, it's not something that just any flesh can be. Three souls and seven spirits, she now only has three souls, stupid to the extreme..." After saying this into Qing Kuang's ear, Mo Jiu You still didn't forget to evaluate her a bit.

  Lost seven souls? That means Blue Spirit's soul is not complete now? Since her husband said it was not simple, this matter is probably really troublesome.

  "Master... Master... Flesh..."

  Looking at the anxious Ling Lan who was on the verge of tears, Ke Lun hastily comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry, Master will think of a way to help you find your physical body, okay?"

  "Really?" Blue Spirit stopped after shaking off the water stains all over its body and asked pitifully.

  "Really, when has Master ever deceived you?" Cleaning up the fur of the Qilin, Qing still had to comfort her.

  Although not very satisfied, Blue Spirit didn't say much more. She didn't know why she was so obsessed with her physical body, but she knew it was important, and she always had a feeling that something was calling to her, although the call was getting weaker, yet more urgent.

  "Alright, now that everything is settled, the most important thing at hand is Xue's eyes." With great effort, he picked up the small white creature, "Not for much longer, it'll be a big fellow soon."

  "Master~" The gentle and crazy hand stroked, the sound of the first snow was as light and nimble as his name.

  "The eyes of the first snow can't see, the master wants him to run freely like you, to see all the beautiful scenery, so now the master is looking for herbs to cure his eyes, you guys can't bully him, got it?"

  She was doting on Jiao, grateful to Yao'er, helpless against Pi Xiu, speechless towards Lan Ling, and had even more pity for Chu Xue. As for Ben Lei, she completely ignored him with a glance at Mo Jiu You.

  "Good~" The little ones all nodded, and among the divine beasts, they were still considered relatively small, so naturally they had a childlike heart.

  "Master, it's okay if you can't see me ~" Being able to meet the master in his last moment was already his greatest honor. For such a long time, he had been very satisfied.

  "No way, the master will definitely cure you, I believe that if Chūsetsu grew up to be so beautiful, if her eyes could see too, she would be even more beautiful!" The clean and spotless Chūsetsu had pink paw pads, but her eyes were her biggest flaw. Otherwise, when she grew up, she would probably be a majestic queen of the beasts.

  Watching all the beasts having their arrangements, Ben Lei also stepped forward with a thick face, "I don't know if my wish can be fulfilled, little master?"

  "No way!" The light and carefree expression changed in an instant, the difference in treatment was quite obvious!

  "I didn't say it was..."

  "That's not possible! Don't think that just because we've made a contract, we're connected. If you hadn't dragged me to high places, I would have been struck by lightning? Why would I make a contract with you? Even if you are a super divine beast, what does it matter? From the start, I never had any intention of making a contract with you. Your personality isn't pleasant, and you're not even good at finding treasures like Qiong Qi. Lan Ling can create water for me to take a bath, and Chu Xue is also clever and pitiful. What else can you do besides striking people?"

  "Hehe, it's quite useless~" Mo Jiu You heard this and still came to add insult to injury, leaning on Qing Kuang's shoulder and stifling a laugh.

  "I... I will..."

  "You, you, you! What's wrong with you?! Taking advantage of your size, bullying the weak and injuring my Pixiu and Bixi. I haven't settled this score with you yet! If it weren't for our contract, I'd make you pay for medical expenses!"

  "I'm the one who's injured and needs to be treated with Lychee fruit! Besides, the rules of this world are survival of the fittest, I didn't kill them which is already being nice..."

  "Our family's beasts are allowed to bully others, but they mustn't be bullied by others!"

  "You're being unreasonable!"

  "What's wrong with being unreasonable? I'm going to be even more unreasonable! And no matter how unreasonable I am, you're still my servant!"

  "Ah...!" Ben Lei was once again left speechless, heaven is blind! How did he end up running into such a master? However, at this moment, Ben Lei naturally didn't know that in the future when he encountered danger, he would be so grateful to the heavens for sending him such an unscrupulous master... no, wait, it's a kind-hearted and just master!

  Watching the furious Taotie, Pixiu and Qilin felt relieved, occasionally making faces at him. When facing Qingkuang, they became coquettish again, rolling around and acting cute, while also provocatively staring at Ben Lei.

  Looking at the little guys' movements with a smile, Qing Kuang beckoned the Pixiu to bring out the medicinal herbs they had found earlier. The little guy did not disappoint her, each herb was well-preserved. However, she didn't plan on sending them on this task again. If they really encountered some ruthless super beast or human, those little guys would be in danger. So Ben Lei's initial leniency also unintentionally saved his own life. Although Qing Kuang now doesn't get along with him, she hasn't put much thought into "dealing" with him.

  Having carefully examined each and every herb, some were recognizable while others weren't; however, none of them seemed to be useful for treating the effects of the first snow. Thinking this, it was hard not to feel a little disappointed.

  "Isn't there what you want?" Looking at Xiaoyao gathering the herbs, but with an unsuitable expression, Mo Jiu asked in a soft voice.

  "Hmm, Pixiu found some very valuable ones, but none of them are what I want."

  "Isn't it just about treating the eyes? No need to use these fancy herbs." She picked up a withered medicinal herb and carelessly tossed it aside.

  "Do you have a way?"

  "Of course! But I don't know if it'll work, where did you get these magical beasts from? They're all so extraordinary! One is more astonishing than the last!" The man picked up Chūsetsu's paw and examined it with a critical eye, his majesty as the Demon King sending shivers down Chūsetsu's spine.

  "It's not just simple, that's also my contract beast!" Ao Jiao glared at Mo Jiu You with a hint of arrogance, gently took back the initial snow's paw, and carefully comforted the little guy who had been frightened.

  "I just love your little temper!" Ba Miao said with a peck on the cheek, her voice filled with indulgent affection.

  Unbeknownst to him, the gluttonous creature watching this scene was full of doubts. What was the male master doing? He had seen it many times before, and it seemed like he always "ate" the master ~ Thinking of this, the little guy hugged the nearby Pixiu and also pecked at it, spit, spit, spit, a mouthful of fur, not good to eat either!

  Leaning in the man's arms, Qing Kuang noticed Mo Jiu Yu's movements and suddenly felt a bit amused. However, at the same time, she was also annoyed and slapped Mo Jiu Yu's chest. It was all because this man was too reckless on ordinary days, and even the little ones were spoiled by him.

  Fortunately, Mo Jiu You didn't mind, instead the mischievous one whispered in Qing Kuang's ear, "Why hit me, don't you like it?"

  "Stop messing around and tell me what's going on. What's with the look in your eyes like it's snowing for the first time?" This guy has no integrity, and he's even calling himself the Demon King!

  "The Spirit Origin Continent is called the Spirit Origin Continent, and it's also ranked first among all continents in the human world, all because of this 'origin'. There's a legend here that says in ancient times, two heavenly gods ascended to the divine realm on this Spirit Origin Continent. They loved each other so much that they were willing to die for each other, but fate played tricks on them, and another heavenly god fell in love with the male heavenly god, so she took him away, leaving behind the female heavenly god who cried every day until her heart was broken and she disappeared. After her death, however, she transformed into the 'Heart's Desire Spirit Origin' of this continent using her heart's blood and all her tears, hiding it here in hopes that one day the male heavenly god would remember her and return to this land to take a look, which is also her last wish."

  "Nonsense!"

  "Oh? You don't believe me? Aren't humans supposed to be the most trusting of this, and yet you're moved to tears?"

  "If you're a goddess, why would you be so sad and melancholic just because your man left? If you were strong enough to become a goddess in the first place, how could you not have a strong heart to withstand this blow?" Rumors are just rumors, they're probably just deceiving those innocent girls!

  "Hehe, what if one day I get robbed?"

  "Hey?" She looked back at the man with her head tilted, a sly and cunning smile spreading across her face. "Can you live without me..." As she spoke, she pinched Majo's waist.

  "Hehe, inseparable, of course inseparable!" Seeing her mischievous appearance, Mo Jiu couldn't help but feel triumphant.

  "But if some woman dares to flirt with you, I'll ruin her face, break her limbs, and set fire to her whole family! Are men like me, who are carefree and proud, something that any cat or dog can covet? As for you...if you dare to have the guts, I won't do anything to you, it's as if we never met, and I'll delete you from my memory!"

  His whole body shook, followed by panic, but Mo Jiu Yu only held the delicate figure in his arms even tighter. Just thinking about it was the greatest punishment for him. If Xiao Liu really forgot him, he would rather die. "How could I? Having you alone is enough! But I just love watching your overbearing little temper. When it's time to punish the bad guys, I'll accompany you to watch!"

  "This is what you said! Don't go soft later." In fact, when she said this, she was also considering it in her heart. She didn't believe that the vast demonic clan wouldn't have any women, or that the master of a realm wouldn't have any women to think about? However, if there really were any, one would come and she would kill one, two would come and she would kill two.

  Then, in the near future, someone suffered a misfortune because of his own absurd fantasy.

  It was then, after some years had passed, that the cruel and ruthless methods of the Light Horsemen became known to all.

  Thus, after tens of thousands of years, the reputation of being "jealous" has been echoing throughout the entire demon world, and it has not faded...
