“What are you talking about? Having a child early doesn’t mean so young.”
Li Mo’s forehead showed a black line. Although he had lived two lives, he was only sixteen years old in this life. He would turn seventeen in three months.
“Not too young.”
Wu Qing recalled:
“When I met Brother Feng and when I gave birth to Xiao’er, I was only over a hundred years old…”
In terms of demon age, a hundred years was roughly equivalent to fourteen human years.
“The constitution of demons and humans cannot be compared.”
Li Mo waved his hand.
Shang Qin Qing glanced at the serious Little Li and then at Ying Bing, who seemed unperturbed, her gaze wandering as if she hadn’t heard anything, yet her lips were pursed tightly.
Ice Chunk doesn’t quite understand what you’re saying.jpg.
Clan Leader Shang couldn’t suppress a smile:
“In the realm of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it’s quite common for humans to have children at sixteen. But before that, they need to get married first.”
“Clan Leader Shang used to oversee marriages. Everyone’s marriage had to be witnessed by Qingluan.”
Wu Qing acknowledged Shang Qin Qing’s authority in this area.
“Will you plan to get married when the time comes? Would you like me to be the master of ceremonies?”
Shang Qin Qing asked with a smile.
She didn’t ask if they intended to get married but directly asked if she could be the master of ceremonies. She truly was once the deity who governed love in Da Shang! Each move was deadly and untraceable!
“Ahh… This…”
Li Mo was about to speak, but then his mouth was stuffed with a dumpling.
Ying Bing snatched the chopsticks and whispered softly:
“Eat slowly, be careful not to bite on a gold bean.”
Shang Qin Qing wasn’t giving up; she wanted to hit a home run:
“By the way, I have a phoenix crown and red robe, which is an invaluable treasure left behind by the former empress. Wearing it during the wedding will surely make your bond as strong as gold. Little Ice Girl, how about I give it to you to wear later?”
“So precious?” Li Mo blinked.
Ying Bing gathered a few strands of black hair behind her ear: “Li Mo, are we going to spend the New Year at home this year? Let’s bring some local specialties from the South Border as gifts for Father and Mother.”
Li Mo thought for a moment and nodded:
“For example, bringing some local attire from the South Border?”
Ying Bing’s eyes flickered: “Or perhaps some snacks and tea…”
“…”
Shang Qin Qing puffed out her cheeks, looking indignant.
Not getting the satisfaction she wanted, she was upset.
Just as she was about to speak, Ying Bing preempted her:
“Li Mo, isn’t there something you want to ask the demon clan elders? It shouldn’t be delayed.”
“Yes, this matter is quite important.”
Li Mo clasped his hands together, his expression serious:
“I heard that many of the disaster beasts depend on the power of sentient beings. Does that mean that as long as people still believe in them, they will eventually revive?”
“That’s correct.”
Shang Qin Qing snorted, thinking this was a serious matter but not as important as having children early.
“In fact, it’s much better than before. The disaster beasts back then were even stronger, but after the King of South Border came, things improved significantly.”
When Wu Qing was young, the South Border was basically ruled by disaster beasts.
That’s why the Ming Jiao clan risked everything to move to the human territory rather than stay in the South Border.
Later, they were driven away because they sneezed too much.
It was during that period that the King of South Border came to the South Border.
He greatly expanded Da Yu’s territory in the South Border, allowing many locals to gradually integrate into the Central Plains. Qingmu City is one such example.
Many people here no longer worship witch spirits.
If Emperor Jingtai continued to fully support him, perhaps the King of South Border could continue expanding his territory, thereby further weakening and eventually eliminating the disaster beasts.
Unfortunately, things did not go as wished.
Ke Mo asked: “Then can we stop people from believing in witch spirits?”
“It’s not easy.”
“Yes, many humans in the South Border don’t have our enlightenment.”
“Isn’t becoming their god enough?”
With that, Ke Mo straightened up, ate the dumpling off Ying Bing’s chopsticks, and swallowed it instantly!
“…”
The large tent fell silent for a moment.
All the demons looked at each other, surprised by the expressions on their faces.
“Do you want to absorb the collective power?”
Shang Qin Qing widened her eyes, seeing Ke Mo’s earnest expression, she signaled Ying Bing.
Your husband has gone crazy, do you care?
Ying Bing also frowned.
She knew Ke Mo well and understood he wasn’t the type to act recklessly. Suddenly saying he wanted to absorb the collective power might mean he had some preparations?
“This collective power is not so easy to absorb.”
“Yes, although you can become very powerful in a short time, you will always be influenced by the miscellaneous thoughts within the collective power, and you might even transform into another person. And once you lose their faith, you will disappear along with it.”
“Yes, look at Clan Leader Shang. Don’t you understand the seriousness of the situation?”
“?”
Shang Qin Qing loved to ‘hit’, and there was indeed a reason.
Although she wasn’t a witch spirit, many people in the South Border and even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who yearned for love prayed to her.
“Don’t worry everyone, I’m not relying on the collective power to cultivate, but doing something else.”
“And I have a method similar to the marriage tree, which can purify the collective power, though the purified amount is small. It may not be enough for cultivation…”
Ke Mo didn’t hide anything.
Seeing his sincere expression, the demons relaxed.
“I have a martial art technique that can transform into other species. If all the tribes in the South Border believe in the demons I transform, they won’t provide power to the disaster beasts anymore.”
“But how can you make them believe in you?” Wu Qing asked.
The demons were happy to see this progress.
They hoped the disaster beasts would disappear completely from the South Border.
Ke Mo cleared his throat, mimicking Ice Chunk’s cold expression, as if everything was under control:
“Then we need to trouble the senior demons to cooperate with my performance.”
“Don’t worry, I am the first Golden Eagle Award Best Actor. Cooperating with me will be seamless!”
“…”
“How will you perform?”
“Specific situations require specific analysis, depending on the actual conditions of different tribes.”
Ke Mo took out a map.
He was just about to discuss it with everyone when Bald-headed Peng Lingyuan pointed at the map in confusion:
“Ke Mo Mountain… Ke Mo River… Ke Mo Village?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s perfect for hitting. Everywhere is him, you won’t get lost anywhere, right?”
Shang Qin Qing wanted to roll around again.
The demons’ smiles were awkward, their lips curling.
Not only dumplings and barbecue, but also dog food.
This trip was really worth it.
Ke Mo: “…”
He took out another map and returned to the main topic.
