Chapter 439 The Demon Shark
Lu Yuguan pulled Bai Ming into the room.
The two had a brief conversation.
"What?"
"You just said that the Western Xuan Continent is the territory of the Demon Race?"
Bai Ming scratched his head: "Yeah, you didn't know?"
Lu Yuguan's face was grim.
"I know nothing!"
Bai Ming continued, "Back then, in order to pursue Li Ying, I followed her all the way to Xixuan, only to be dumbfounded as soon as I stepped into that territory."
"This place has long been occupied by the demons."
"Humans either flee, die, or become slaves."
Lu Yuguan's head was shocked.
"so……"
"I didn't go the wrong way; it's just that the Western Xuan Continent has long since belonged to the Demon Realm?"
"Yes."
Bai Ming nodded.
Lu Yuguan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the important matter at hand.
"By the way, do you know where Cloud Peak Beast City is?"
"Cloud Peak Beast City?" Bai Ming was taken aback, his expression strange. "You're in Cloud Peak Beast City right now..."
"what?"
Bai Ming pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"Stone City was formerly known as Cloud Peak Beast City."
"After the demons occupied Beast City, they demolished and rebuilt it, renaming it Stone City."
Lu Yuguan opened his mouth.
He was speechless for a long time.
He meows!
After all this time, I'm already at the mission location!
"Third brother, what do you want with Cloud Peak Beast City?"
"And... how did you get here?"
Bai Ming expressed his confusion.
Lu Yuguan briefly explained the situation.
From repairing the spiritual source to traversing the void to enter the demon realm, and then disguising himself as a sea creature to take over the tavern.
Bai Ming was stunned.
"Wait...you said you're going to the Immortal Realm?"
Lu Yuguan nodded: "Yes."
Bai Ming's eyes held a complex mix of envy and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).
"You truly are no ordinary person; it hasn't been long, and you're already heading to the Immortal Realm..."
He gave a wry smile.
"But I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Tian's impatient voice came from the corridor.
"Bai Ming!"
"You fucking fell into a pit?"
"Hurry up, the important person is waiting!"
Bai Ming's expression changed, and he hurriedly replied, "Coming!"
He turned to look at Lu Yuguan, speaking rapidly.
"Yu Guan, I have to go."
"If you need anything, you can come to the Li family to find me."
"I'm now... half a member of the Li family..."
Lu Yuguan frowned: "You're staying in the Demon Realm instead of returning to Longhua Kingdom?"
Bai Ming remained silent for a moment, a hint of helplessness on his face, before slowly circulating his cultivation technique.
hum...
A pure demonic aura emanated from his body.
Although not very strong.
But it is indeed demonic energy.
"This……"
Lu Yuguan's pupils contracted.
Bai Ming withdrew his demonic energy and said in a low voice, "For Li Ying's sake, I received half of the Li family's inheritance and am now a candidate for the next head of the Li family."
"not to mention……"
His voice softened, "Liying is pregnant."
Lu Yuguan was completely stunned. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
"I know I have let down my father, my elder brother, and the Bai family..."
Bai Ming took a deep breath. "After the child is born, I will find an opportunity to go back. Even if it means abandoning my cultivation, I will still kowtow before my father's spirit."
After Bai Ming finished speaking, he patted Lu Yuguan on the shoulder.
"Third brother, take care."
He turned around, opened the door, and strode out, his tone becoming so obsequious.
"Brother, I'm here!"
Lu Yuguan remained motionless for a long time, his mind a complete mess.
Stone City is Beast City.
The second young master of the Bai family has become a candidate for the head of the Demon Clan, and he's even going to be a father!?
Lu Yuguan rubbed his temples; his head ached.
【Host】
The Bai family really knows how to have fun!
"...Shut up."

After seeing off the distinguished guests, Xiao Mei carried a large bag of magic crystals to the back room and showed it off to Lu Yuguan.
"Hehe... Boss..."
"It's a dark, shadowy magic crystal... a magic crystal..."
"Several hundred of them..."
The little sheep drooled like an idiot.
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes: "Look at your poor, stingy appearance, like you've never seen a magic crystal before."
"Boss, you don't understand. This money is enough for me to marry a good husband!" Xiao Mei said happily.
"Marry?"
Lu Yuguan was stunned.
“Oh, boss, you’re from the sea tribe, so you might be different from us.”
"In our Stone City, it's customary for females to marry males. Finding a good-looking male requires spending a lot of money!"
Little Sheep spoke very eloquently.
Lu Yuguan suddenly understood.
No wonder Bai Ming married into the Li family; it turns out he was married off to them...
Tsk.
It seems that Bai Ming's appearance fits the demon race's aesthetic standards quite well.
"Little Sheep, I have a question for you," Lu Yuguan coughed twice, "Does Stone City have any temples or altars?"
"Yes, it's in the park next to the City Lord's Mansion. Why are you asking about that, boss?"
"The tavern has just opened, I'd like to go and offer my prayers."
Little Sheep was deeply moved.
"boss!"
"You guys are really great!"
"I hope you marry a wife who will dote on you!"
Lu Yuguan grinned awkwardly.
I don't have a wife.
She has three husbands.
Ok……
She spoils me quite a bit, but she's always getting jealous and possessive.
*
After half a month of operation, the tavern successfully turned a profit, and Lu Yuguan also received the task reward.
【Ding! ——】
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained [Demon-Nourishing Pill]*1]
Lu Yuguan picked up the pill, feeling a little nervous.
[Props丨Yun Mo Dan]
[Description: Users can transform their Nascent Soul into a Demonic Infant]
"Oh?"
"A pillow delivered when you're sleepy?"
Lu Yuguan was worried that the lack of demonic energy would expose his secret, but now that he had the elixir by his side, he naturally had no worries.
As for whether the Nascent Soul could revert back after transformation, Lu Yuguan didn't care.
After all, he has three Nascent Soul cultivators.
【Ding! ...]
[Nascent Soul Transformation in progress...]
[Conversion Successful]
The [Mermaid King's Nascent Soul] has transformed into the [Demon Mermaid's Nascent Soul]
The Demon Shark Nascent Soul was entirely black, yet it gleamed with a deep blue luster like the ocean, standing side by side with the other two Nascent Souls, clearly distinct from each other.
"Try the effect."
With a thought, Lu Yu Guan activated the Demon Shark's Nascent Soul.
hum...
A surge of pure and powerful demonic energy suddenly burst forth from his body!
Like a giant beast awakening from the deep sea, it filled the entire back room with an ancient and majestic aura!
"Whoa!"
The little sheep, who was happily counting her magic crystals, was the first to be affected.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended upon her, making it impossible for her to breathe!
Little Sheep's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground, her whole body trembling like a leaf.
"Old... Boss..."
The little sheep's teeth chattered, and its eyes were filled with fear.
She thought she had done something wrong to anger this man.
This demonic energy... it's terrifying.
Truly worthy of being called sea creatures!

at the same time.
In the heart of Stone City, at the City Lord's Mansion.
The rabbit demon was savoring a new flavor of carrot pastry when its ruby-like eyes suddenly sharpened, and it abruptly looked towards the tavern.
boom!
The throne beneath him groaned as if it could no longer bear the weight.
"This demonic energy..."
The rabbit demon crushed the pastries to dust. "Such pure demonic power... could it be from that high-ranking sea race?!"
Its small body tensed slightly, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on its face.
"If they are truly sea creatures, then we're in big trouble."
