As soon as it came to matters involving women, Li Xiaonan's intelligence seemed to drop to negative numbers. He found himself in a dilemma, unsure whether to pursue or not.
Aries sighed and patted Li Xiaonan on the shoulder, whispering, "Boss! Let me handle it; I need to notify the other ten guys anyway!"
Li Xiaonan nodded absentmindedly, unable to comprehend why his mind had suddenly short-circuited earlier, leading him to say such things that drove Fei Ji away.
He sighed again and returned to the room in the castle with Taurus.
Ouyang Feng and Jack were each holding a crystal goblet, chatting cheerfully.
Taurus chuckled and joined the conversation with animated gestures, while Li Xiaonan poured himself a glass of the so-called best drink, Blood Moon Shadow, which was actually quite unpleasant.
"Alright! It's settled then! I'll issue the orders shortly. Tomorrow morning, you get the two hundred thousand troops ready, and we'll take Eastern Land in one fell swoop!" Ouyang Feng declared, slapping the table with enthusiasm.
"Sure thing!" Taurus nodded eagerly.
Li Xiaonan paid little attention to all this; he saw the so-called negotiations as merely a formality.
On the surface, the cheerful negotiation was coming to an end. Ouyang Feng glanced at Li Xiaonan, who had been sulking with his drink, and asked, "Muzi Jun, what's bothering you so much?"
Li Xiaonan shot him a glare and thought to himself: How can I be happy when my woman has run off? Even if it was because I drove her away myself.
Taurus quickly seized the opportunity to speak up. "Hehe, the boss is just getting used to his current identity. It was the same for me when I first joined him."
Li Xiaonan glanced at everyone and said, "If there's nothing else, I'm heading back to Eastern Land!"
Suddenly, Jack stood up and stiffly uttered three words: "Follow me!"
Li Xiaonan grunted in displeasure but reluctantly followed Jack out of the room.
The two of them walked down the long corridor, one in front of the other, until they reached the end.
Jack pushed open the door, and Li Xiaonan slowly walked in with his hands clasped behind his back.
The deep purple curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out any trace of the hazy light from the Blood Sun, making the room feel very dim.
With a soft thud, Jack closed the door, plunging the room into even deeper darkness.
The weakening of sight heightened other senses, such as hearing.
The sound of hurried breathing and the swallowing of saliva created an ambiguous atmosphere in Little Black's room.
“Ah…” The addition of a moan made the atmosphere even more eerie.
Li Xiaonan lightly snapped his fingers, and a cluster of blue flames danced around him, casting an even more sinister glow on the grin at the corner of his mouth.
Opposite him, Jack knelt on the ground, his hands twisted at an unnatural angle behind his back. Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, and his features were contorted in pain.
“Boss… I know I was wrong. Please… spare me… I won’t dare to do it again…”
Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow casually as he settled into a sofa covered with white velvet. “Oh? What did you do wrong?”
Jack gritted his teeth and replied, “I shouldn’t have teamed up with Ouyang Feng…”
“Hmm?” Li Xiaonan tightened his grip with his right hand, firmly twisting Jack’s puppet-like body.
“Ah! I… I shouldn’t have helped Ouyang Feng capture Fei Ji!”
“Ha! No wonder! I know Fei Ji’s strength very well. Even if she were careless, it wouldn’t be so easy for you to catch her. So you really put in a lot of effort! Alright, get up and talk.”
"Th-thank you, Boss!"
Li Xiaonan put away the puppet in his hand and clapped, saying, "Jack, you should know what to do next, right?"
"Yes! I will do my best to cooperate with you, Boss!"
Jack obediently bowed, but in his heart, he was calculating something else.
In the Eastern Land and Southern Region, both places are beyond the reach of Ouyang and me. Hmph! Even if you swallow the Northern Land and West Land, so what?
You still have to rely on me to help you!
By then, I will still be the local emperor of the Demon Realm!
"Alright, I'll head back to the Eastern Land first. Don't be stingy; send a few Divine Dragon Cannons to Taurus. After all, the Eastern Land is quite 'chaotic' right now. That Makasi, I've crossed paths with him; his strength is no weaker than yours! Ouyang Feng is such a miser; he only sent 200,000 troops. He might not even win!"
Jack kept nodding until a ray of red light shone through the open curtains. Only then did he slowly straighten his back, his eyes filled with resentment.
Li Xiaonan quickly moved back to his shabby hideout in the Eastern Land. As soon as he stood firm, he saw several figures in black clothes flash into the room.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but be startled. Was his old hideout ambushed?
He flicked his sleeve and was about to take action when he saw ten black-clad figures kneeling on one knee in unison, their right fists placed on their chests as they spoke in unison, "We greet you, Boss!"
What is going on here?
A tattered quilt that was hanging by the door was lifted by a hand, and Aries poked his head in with a grin, saying, "Boss! Surprise, right?"
"You little brat, this is a scare! If they had been a moment slower in greeting me, I would have acted! You're quite efficient; you gathered them all in just one day."
Aries smiled shyly and walked into the room, saying, "Isn't it all because of the boss's charisma? Usually, when I call these people, they act as if they're dead, not responding for ages."
Li Xiaonan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alright, we're all family here, no need to be polite. Everyone, take a seat!"
The eleven of them paused for a moment before following Aries to the only place to sit in the room—a shabby sofa with exposed springs.
Li Xiaonan looked at the eleven young men piled together on the tattered sofa like a stack of Rohan figures.
The exposed springs trembled and creaked, creating a rather bizarre scene.
However, the obedience of the demon puppets made Li Xiaonan break out in a cold sweat. He awkwardly said, "Well... you don't necessarily have to sit. Just make yourselves comfortable! By the way, where are Scorpio and Capricorn?"
"Here!" A cute little boy and a dark-faced uncle stepped forward in front of Li Xiaonan.
Is this really the demon I created? The difference in appearance is too great!
Clearing his throat, he said, "You two get ready. Tomorrow Taurus will lead an attack on Makasi. You need to incite Makasi to fight back fiercely and crush the 200,000 troops before turning against them!"
"And the rest of you, listen up! The demon realm is about to get chaotic. If you can hide, do so. If you can't hide, then pretend to be injured—whether it's physically or mentally! Just regroup and be ready at all times!"
"Understood!"
In his quest for a wife from the Underworld to the demon realm, Li Xiaonan didn't find a partner but instead completely rewrote the history of the demon race.
The historical records written by later generations about significant events in the demon realm are as follows:
In March of Year 1 Before Magic Essence, the Golden Ma War broke out in Eastern Land, becoming the catalyst for chaos in the demon realm.
In May of Year 1 Before Magic Essence, the Makasi Legion rose up in rebellion, annihilating all 200,000 troops led by Taurus while suffering significant losses themselves.
In the same month, Makasi's loyal subordinates, Capricorn and Scorpio, betrayed him, leading to his defeat and escape.
In August of the previous year, Taurus, Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn joined forces to unify the Eastern Land.
In September of the previous year, Makasi allied with the Northern Emperor and led an army to attack the Eastern Land.
In October of the previous year, the Chinese and Western Emperors entered the fray in the Eastern Land, creating a chaotic battle in the demon realm.
In January of that year, Makasi was killed in action.
In the same month, the Northern Emperor fell in battle, while the Western Emperor was severely injured.
In March of that year, the Western Emperor succumbed to his injuries.
In the same month, Zhong Di also perished.
By April of that year, the era of great chaos among the demon clans came to an end. The Demon King Nan Muzi led Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Maiden, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces to form the Twelve Houses. He appointed the former Southern Emperor Fei Ji as Demon Queen and unified the demon realm.
That year was recorded as Year of Magic Essence.
Behind this seemingly dramatic timeline lies a series of logical yet extremely tangled chain reactions.
"Boss, don't worry! Sister-in-law will be fine!" Aries said while squatting on the steps of their old hideout, watching Li Xiaonan pace back and forth.
Li Xiaonan stopped and looked at Aries bathed in the morning light of Blood Sun. The white scarf had been washed clean; however, his burlap outfit had turned into a cropped shirt that exposed his midriff. He looked like a disheveled youth.
He shook his head and casually tossed a piece of clothing over. "Change your clothes; don’t make yourself look more like a beggar."
Aries smiled slightly and caught it. "The fight is about to start; I won't change now. I don't want to dirty the new clothes you gave me. I'll wear them after we win!"
Blood would stain the clothes...
A thought flashed through Li Xiaonan's mind. He chuckled to himself, plopped down on the steps, and rummaged through a pile of materials, starting to tinker.
Four hours later, as the Blood Sun began to set, a figure flew in from the distance. "Xiao Bai! My team is all set and waiting outside! Huh? What are these two boxes?"
"These are for you—Golden Cloth! Both in appearance and defense, they are top-notch! Come on, come on, let’s draw some blood!" Li Xiaonan grinned widely, rubbing his hands together with excitement.
Taurus scratched his head and looked at Aries.
Aries shrugged, indicating that he also had no idea why their leader suddenly seemed so eccentric.
Li Xiaonan took out a silver needle and pricked the fingers of both men, letting two drops of blood fall onto the Golden Armor boxes.
"Alright, hurry up and put them on! Let me see!" Li Xiaonan urged, his mind racing with thoughts: Saint Seiya! Saint Seiya! I am your Athena! Ah! No way! I should be Zeus's horse!
Aries and Taurus exchanged glances, each placing a hand on the box.
Suddenly, the boxes engraved with Zodiac Symbols sprang open, and a dazzling golden light shot up into the sky, enveloping the two men instantly.
As the light gradually faded, two men clad in golden armor stood proudly facing each other.
Aries had replaced the white fur on his chest with two massive ram horns.
The front of his waist armor was intricately carved with a lifelike ram's face, while the back was shaped like an inverted shield hexagon. The side waist armors were symmetrically designed in a strong curved shield shape, providing excellent protection while perfectly accentuating Aries's slender waist.
The limbs of the armor were crafted to perfection; the upper arms were shaped like half-shield cylindrical armor, while the forearms featured meticulously carved ancient patterns on their fronts.
The leg armor consisted of an upper conical piece and a lower cylindrical piece, with additional protective features added at the ankle.
With long hair the color of Silver Powder, she was truly breathtaking.
Taurus was no slouch either, especially with his pot lid transformed into a golden Horned Ginseng helmet; his entire demeanor changed instantly.
"Xiao Bai, you look great!"
"Yeah, you look pretty handsome too!"
Li Xiaonan rolled her eyes, interrupting the two who were busy complimenting each other. "Let's test your defense! Throw a punch at each other and let me see!"
Aries and Taurus nodded, raising their fists to strike at each other's chests.
Both of them staggered back three steps. Taurus nervously asked, "Are you okay, Xiao Bai?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"Not painful at all!"
As they spoke, they turned to Li Xiaonan, their lips curling into incredulous smiles.
