âFirst Elder.â After Di Cangâs attention shifted away from his wife, that handsome face promptly turned hard as he spoke: âPass my order down, this place will be our base from now on!â
âAs you wish.â Cupping his fist, the senior respectfully complies.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even though there are not many enemies thus far, but the Celestial Realmâs landscape stretches for millions of miles, thereâs going to be more coming for sure. Furthermore, theyâre only at the outermost stretch of the domain, they havenât even begun to touch the core area where there are dangers lurking at every turn.
âAlso, send a couple of my strongest demon to guard the city gate, I donât want anyone coming or leaving without my explicit permission.â After saying this, he immediately returns to helping Bai Yan into the city gate.
However, unlike the bustling settlement that he expected of this place, what welcomed the couple was an empty husk that had toppled stalls and a street rolling with dried leaves. Looking at this scene, Di Cangâs expression instantly went black because heâs really starting to question himself.
Am I really that horrible that everyone will run before I even get here?
âDi Cang, it seems your reputation is already infamous and far spreading.â
Looking at this depressing sight of decline, Bai Yanâs lips slightly curved upwards while trying not to let her husband notice the little slip up on her face.
âHumph, these people arenât any better than me if thatâs the case.â Narrowing his eyes in with an extremely sour note: âThey treated the demonic beasts as food and material, how are they any different? This world is like that, the strong eats the weak. Without strength, one doesnât have any right to dictate the rules. Howeverâ¦â Turning warm and gentle as he stared down at the woman in his arms, âWhether or not you are weak or strong, you will always be the undisputed one in charge of the Demon Realm.â
Very pleased by those sweet words, Bai Yan didnât mind being pampered right now, especially when her tummy was starting to show the bump of her child.
âDi Cang, Iâm tiredâ¦â
âNo problem, Iâll find a place so you can rest.â
â¦â¦
Inside the city, the most luxurious place would have to be the city lordâs manor. The only issue was the emptiness of the estate. There are no decorations or supplies left in place after the previous owner fled in haste; as such, Di Cang figured its better to take his wife to a local inn instead where itâs more functionable for now until a acceptable manor could be built atop of the old one.
âDi Cang, I remember you mentioning there is a sizable population of demonic beasts living in this Celestial Realm, is that correct?â she asks while fiddling with her manâs silvery hair.
âMhmm.â
âLetâs do this then. Announce to all of those demons that they can join us if they wish, and we will rename this place as Demon City to act as a beacon of our influence.â
âThatâs easy to do Yan Yan, Iâll go pass the message down to First Elder so he can do it.â Giving the woman a peck on the forehead, his voice was all doting and loving: âYou mustnât stress yourself during this period, the baby and you need to rest so leave everything to me.â

Not far from Demon City, there lies a valley which stretches for thousands of miles and was exceptionally dangerous. Nevertheless, two little adorable things are currently cutting through the shrubberies with their swords and carefully pushing forward.
