Ye Yun was stunned and immediately became alert, looking at her.
"Uh... what do you want?"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Xing Wu roughly grabbed him by the collar, shoved him onto the sofa, and pressed herself against him.
"You what..."
But before he could finish his last word, Xing Wu forcefully kissed him.
That's right, he was forcibly kissed.
Looking at Xing Wu's exquisite face so close, and her deep eyes like stars, Ye Yun felt completely stunned.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Xing Wu got up from him, wiped the remaining moisture on her lips with her left thumb, and even licked them twice, as if savoring the taste.
Then, she looked at him with a wicked smile and said.
"Alright, the score for you kissing this seat earlier is now settled."
With that, she turned around gracefully and walked into the golden rift that had opened, leaving only a voice echoing behind.
"In three days, this seat will leave the Nine Nether Immortal Palace. See you again in the Heavenly Domain."
It wasn't until Xing Wu's figure disappeared into the air that Ye Yun on the sofa finally came back to his senses.
"I, this seat, was actually kissed by a woman?"
He licked the lingering sweetness on his lips, and for some reason, Ye Yun felt a strange sensation, as if he had been taken advantage of without being paid.
Undeniably, he thought Xing Wu was a peculiar woman. If it weren't for the irreconcilable conflicts, he couldn't say he wasn't attracted to her.
What he regretted most now was not that he hadn't resisted just now, but that he had actually forgotten to stick out his tongue!
"That woman, she's really..."
Ye Yun quickly came back to his senses, slowly stood up, and sighed leisurely.
"Forget it, I won't think about her for now. The most important thing is to quickly resolve the matter of the demon race and then go into seclusion to break through to the Saint realm..."
After all, carrying the system, and having transmigrated once, how could he be content with the lifespan of a Saint for thousands of years? He had to break through to the Heavenly Domain and attain the realm of eternal immortality!
Moreover, his few disciples all had the potential to become Saints.
Even if he didn't consider himself, he had to think of them. As a master, he should pave the way for his disciples in the Heavenly Domain in advance!
Then Ye Yun got up and left. After chatting with Lan Aotian and Yu Ruofeng, who were waiting on the mountain, he learned that Hong Ling had woken up, so he went to find her alone.
To settle the matter of the demon race, he naturally had to start with this eldest princess.
On a broken stone slab, Hong Ling was meditating. The single horn on her forehead glowed faintly. When she sensed Ye Yun approaching, she instantly opened her eyes.
Ye Yun examined her for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Your Highness Hong Ling, how are you feeling now?"
"Mm, I'm fine..."
As soon as Hong Ling nodded, she seemed to remember something and quickly knelt down and said solemnly.
"Elder Ye, I'm truly sorry for what happened before. It was all my fault. I didn't expect the Holy Lord to..."
After all, strictly speaking, her actions were to assist the Holy Lord. Yu Ruofeng had told her everything that happened along the way not long ago. If Ye Yun and the others weren't strong enough, she might have harmed them to death here.
So she was very scared, not of being killed, but of Ye Yun's rage leading to the extermination of the demon race.
Fortunately, Ye Yun's expression was calm, and he even smiled and said, "It's nothing. You didn't do it intentionally, and the outcome is good now. No one was injured."
Hong Ling breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Then our demon race..."
When it came to the disposition of the demon race, Ye Yun fell into thought for a moment, and this short period was a great torment for Hong Ling.
Finally, Ye Yun's eyes gazed at her, and after a long time, he chuckled softly.
"Your Highness Hong Ling, I don't think you would want your people to be wiped out by the human race, would you?"
Hearing this, Hong Ling nodded silently, making it clear that she was willing to pay any price.
Under her gaze, Ye Yun slowly said, "Since that's the case, this seat will have people support you to become the empress of the demon race. After that, there will be three conditions."
"First, the demon race must compensate the human race five times the resources lost in this war, and five times the compensation for the killed cultivators."
"Second, I want to dispatch hundreds of cultivator teams to be stationed within the demon race. Of course, under normal circumstances, they will not interfere with anything in the demon race."
"Third, within a hundred years, I want to see a tribe that is friendly to the human race."
"How about it, can these three points be achieved?"
Seeing Ye Yun smiling at her, Hong Ling almost thought she had misheard. After a long time, she said in disbelief.
"Really? Is that all?"
Hong Ling had already braced herself for Ye Yun to slaughter most of her kin, leaving only a small number to survive in captivity.
The current conditions, though they would cause the demon race to lose their privacy and a large amount of resources, were extremely minor compared to the survival of their entire race.
Ye Yun smiled and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank your decision that the human race did not suffer many casualties. Otherwise, this matter would not have ended like this."
This outcome was decided by him, Yu Ruofeng, and Lan Aotian. After all, the fanatical elements of the demon race had died on the battlefield, and the remaining demons were mostly those who just wanted to survive and had no intention of invading.
At this moment, Hong Ling was filled with incomparable gratitude towards him.
"Thank you, Elder Ye, for your magnanimity and for sparing my race from destruction!"
Then, she remembered something, and a blush spread across her face as she said.
"Oh, and about the aphrodisiac from before, thank you Elder Ye for your help."
At the end, she still had some consciousness and vaguely remembered hugging Ye Yun tightly.
Ye Yun said dismissively with a smile, "It's nothing, just a casual act. Didn't you also save this seat's life before?"
"No, this is different..."
Hong Ling shook her head, then said with a determined expression, "In any case, Hong Ling can never repay Elder Ye's kindness in this life."
"If you have any requests of Hong Ling in the future, you can just say it, and I will agree unconditionally!"
Although she looked serious, Ye Yun wasn't particularly interested.
Until his gaze fell on the exquisite, faintly glowing single horn on her head.
"Uh... speaking of which, I've always been curious about the single horn on your head. Can you let me touch it and see?"
This was Ye Yun's first time seeing a real demon, and one with such a beautiful single horn. He was naturally very curious about its texture.
Hearing this request, Hong Ling's pretty face turned even redder.
"Uh, this..."
Ye Yun looked at her with confusion, "What's wrong? It's just touching your horn, not your feet."
Hearing this, Hong Ling hesitated for a moment. Thinking of what she had just said, she had no choice but to purse her lips and nod.
"Mmm... all right, Elder Ye, you can touch it..."
After saying that, she stretched out her head and brought her single horn closer to Ye Yun. He, as if seeing an interesting toy, immediately reached out and touched it.
Unexpectedly, the horn was as smooth and warm as jade, and the texture was quite pleasant. He gripped it a few times with a little force, and the more he played with it, the more he found it interesting.
"Mmm~ Please be gentle..."
At this moment, hearing her soft moan, Ye Yun finally realized.
Hong Ling's pretty face was flushed, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"That place is very sensitive..."
