Listening to the words of the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen became even more determined to win Ji Min over.
With an extraordinary figure and striking beauty, coupled with the ability to improve the relationship between the Black Magic Clan and the Dark Demon Clan, as well as inherit a part of the Lotus Heart Physique, such an opportunity was hard to come by.
"I'll take care of it. Thank you for your reminder." Having received such advantageous news, Wei Chen spoke politely to the Demon Lotus Emperor.
The Demon Lotus Emperor coldly replied, "Are you finally going to say thank you?"
"Great kindness does not require constant thanks. Should I keep saying thank you all the time? That would be too insincere, wouldn't it?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor thought about it and agreed. He waved his hand and continued his secluded cultivation, no longer wasting words with Wei Chen.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment alone before flying out of the Warship and landing in the plaza of the Demon Dragon Palace.
He found a Dragon Clan guard and, after confirming his identity, was led by that guard to the base arranged for the Black Magic Clan. The Dark Mage, Muen, and others were already there, along with four hundred Talented Youths stationed at that location.
Not far away, members of the Dark Demon Clan had also settled in, along with many medium-sized forces that had long since established themselves within the base of the Demon Dragon Palace. The Black Magic Clan and Dark Demon Clan were major powers; arriving late was not surprising. Those medium-sized forces had come early to gather information, all hoping their Talented Youths could shine in the Demon Arena. Unlike the Three Great Clans—Dragon Clan, Dark Demon Clan, and Black Magic Clan—who were indifferent to rankings and simply sought to train their younger generations, for medium-sized forces or even smaller factions, the Demon Arena was a great opportunity to bring glory to their clans.
In the demon realm, the Three Great Clans occupied most of the land; besides them, there were some medium-sized groups and smaller factions. To draw a parallel with the Soul World, it was like three giant empires surrounded by dozens of medium-sized kingdoms and several dozen smaller principalities.
Those kingdoms and principalities found it difficult to survive squeezed between larger powers. However, their continued existence made sense. In certain regions, they acted as buffers between the Three Great Clans. Due to their barren lands, they were overlooked by the Three Great Clans, eliminating any risk of invasion.
The clans in the demon realm had evolved over countless years. For instance, among the Black Magic Clan, only one-third of its members were true descendants of the clan. Over time, the Black Magic Clan expanded step by step, assimilating many tribes into its jurisdiction and creating a large fusion. True pureblood members of the Black Magic Clan had become exceedingly rare. Even the Dark Magic Royal Family was not purely bloodline; after all, they had been intermarrying with other tribes for so long that their bloodlines had long since diluted.
Purebloods did not hold advantages; "bastard" bloodlines adapted better to environments and often possessed stronger abilities. The so-called "bastard" advantage was vividly reflected in the demon realm.
Upon arriving at the Black Magic Clan's base, Wei Chen was immediately summoned by the Dark Mage.
"Child, how have you been playing?" asked the Dark Mage with a cheerful smile.
Wei Chen shrugged helplessly and replied, "Grandpa, I’m not playing around! I'm doing serious business here! Not only can we strengthen our Black Magic Clan's reputation but also publicly humiliate Jiang Lingjian—it's killing two birds with one stone!"
"Alright, do as you wish. The people below reported to me that you got involved with the daughter of the Dark Demon Clan, Ji Dingxuan?" The Dark Mage looked at Wei Chen and smiled lightly.
Wei Chen was taken aback. This was ridiculous; the news spread too quickly! Were the soldiers on the Warship reporting to the Dark Mage at all times? What happened to personal freedom?
Wei Chen felt a bit annoyed; he felt like he was being watched everywhere.
"Grandpa, be careful with your words. We just chatted for a bit; how could it be considered getting involved?" Wei Chen argued helplessly.
The Dark Mage chuckled, "The people below said that girl has already thrown herself at you, right? Hehe, you really are a unique one in our Dark Magic Royal Family. In the past, every member of the Royal Family was devoted and loyal, which is why our Dark Magic Royal Family has so few descendants. One misstep could lead to our extinction. But you... hey, kid, keep it up! If you can bring the Dark Demon Princess home, I'll take you to see our Black Magic Clan's ultimate weapon!"
"The Destruction Array?"
"Uh... you already know? You were asking about that girl from the Dark Demon Clan, right?"
"Yeah, if you won't tell me, I have no choice but to ask others."
"Fine, whatever. Still, as I said, if you can bring home a girl from the Dark Demon Clan, I'll take you to witness the formation beyond the Thirty-Six Levels—what a formidable existence it is! The Destruction Array is no joke; after all these years, it's been preserved intact. In this magical realm now, besides me, no one else can approach that formation."
The Dark Mage looked at Wei Chen with an expression of hope. Although he looked down on the Dark Demon Clan and Dragon Clan, and even more so on Jiang Lingjian and Ji Dingxuan, he genuinely liked the woman Wei Chen had his eyes on...
For no particular reason, he just hoped Wei Chen would find more women; it didn't matter who they were.
"Grandpa, I haven't even started anything with Ji Min."
"I know that. So at tonight's banquet, I will take the initiative to discuss this matter with Jiang Lingjian. As long as there is some affection between you two, there's no fear of developing deeper feelings. Besides, my grandson of the Dark Mage can pursue anyone; it's their fortune! Who would dare refuse? Don't worry; as long as you like her, Grandpa will help you win her over," the Dark Mage laughed heartily.
Wei Chen was even more speechless; what was going on here...
The Dark Mage continued, "The four girls from Romance have had a tough life. I took them in; although they don't have a surname from me, they grew up in the Black Magic Palace and hold a decent status. You should cherish them well. Don't treat them like ordinary maids; they are your concubines. After your grand wedding, let them enter your household."
Wei Chen sighed softly, thinking to himself, "If I had known it would be like this, there’s nothing I can change. Fortunately, the old man isn’t forcing me right now; otherwise… I could still manage to show some affection towards those Quadruplets."
After interacting with Ji Min, Wei Chen had loosened up regarding this matter. Since the overall environment was like this and the entire Demon Realm operated under such conditions, what good was there to worry? To Wei Chen, having fewer than ten women seemed like a lot, but in the eyes of a woman like Ji Min, it was looked down upon—how could one survive with so few?
Thus, he gradually accepted the four women of Romance. When the time came for them to share a bed, it wouldn’t be such a bad sight after all…
As for feelings?
Heh, after a few affectionate encounters and feeling comfortable all over, emotions would naturally develop…
"Grandpa, let’s put these matters aside for now. Ji Min told me that Ji Dingxuan wants to ally with Jiang Lingjian. I plan to kill Ginger Guest directly during the duel."
Wei Chen asked the Dark Mage for his opinion on whether killing Ginger Guest would be a big problem.
A hint of worry crossed Black Demon Mianlu's face as he said, "Child, killing Ginger Guest is no problem at all. Grandpa will support you; Jiang Lingjian wouldn’t dare to make a sound or invade an inch of our Black Magic Clan’s territory. What worries me is that your affair with the Dark Demon Clan girl will surely reach the Jiang Family’s ears. Ginger Guest will definitely harbor murderous intentions towards you. At that time, you must be cautious."
"Grandpa, do you think using martial skills is faster or using Mental Attack?" Wei Chen asked with a faint smile.
"Naturally, an intangible and formless Mental Attack is faster."
"Then that settles it. No matter how fast Ginger Guest is, can he outpace my Mental Attack?"
Wei Chen was filled with confidence, his eyes brimming with killing intent!
Competing for women with me? You’re practically asking for death!
…
In the evening, within Dragon Hall, a grand banquet was held to welcome guests from afar. The Demon Arena and the Three Great Clans took turns hosting events; this time it was Dragon Clan’s turn. Naturally, Dragon Clan would not miss the opportunity to flaunt their wealth—fine wines and delicacies were plentiful, and the hall was filled with songs and dances performed by beautiful entertainers.
The Young Talents of the Three Great Clans were all present. The Young Talent from their clan also found a spot on the edge to sit down, eating and drinking while observing the members of the Three Great Clans.
As the host, Jiang Lingjian of the Dragon Clan was in high spirits, toasting everywhere and introducing Ginger Guest to everyone, confirming Ginger Guest's status as an heir.
Finally, they reached the table of the Dark Mage, Muen, and Wei Chen.
Ignoring the elders' greetings, Wei Chen quietly scrutinized Ginger Guest.
Ginger Guest was also examining Wei Chen.
Their eyes clashed, sparks flying.
Upon closer observation of the Dragon Clan Young Master, Wei Chen was somewhat surprised. Ginger Guest's Warrior Realm was not particularly impressive, but his Mental Strength was stronger than he had imagined. In fact, it surpassed that of many older fellows.
Ginger Guest had a fair complexion and appeared refined and gentle, with a long sword hanging at his waist. He exuded little presence, giving off an entirely scholarly vibe. His eyes were narrow yet bright, embodying the standard of a handsome man—more striking than just a pretty face.
It was only natural for such a man to attract the affections of countless young women.
In contrast, Wei Chen had a different style. He had shed his youthful innocence and wore Red Demon Armor, exuding an imposing presence with a piercing gaze and overwhelming aura.
Ginger Guest calmly said, "Wei Chen, may we step outside for a moment?"
Wei Chen nodded, sneering as he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Ginger Guest quickly followed suit, and soon they vanished from sight.
The Dark Mage and Jiang Lingjian watched as their Young Mistress left the hall but pretended not to notice.
Let the young ones stir up their own troubles.
The Dark Mage believed that Wei Chen would not act impulsively. The fight had not truly begun yet, so stepping out to "talk" was nothing serious.
The banquet continued as Wei Chen and Ginger Guest made their way to the end of the grand hall.
Ginger Guest did not notice, but Wei Chen did. As they exited the hall, a voluptuous woman quietly followed them.
It was Ji Min.
Ji Dingxuan did not stop Ji Min, allowing her to act freely.
The older Fellows understood without saying a word; this was a matter for the young ones, and they should be allowed to stir things up on their own.
The most outstanding youths from the Three Great Clans had gathered at the end of the hall. However, while Wei Chen and Ginger Guest faced each other directly, Ji Min remained hidden in the shadows, watching.
"Are these two Fellows about to fight? Wei Chen, oh Wei Chen, you are more impulsive than I thought!"
Ji Min felt a twinge of worry. She wondered if she should intervene if Wei Chen were to be at a disadvantage.
With this thought in mind, Ji Min quietly gathered a sphere of magical energy in her hand, ready to spring into action at any moment.
Her Lotus Heart Physique helped her conceal her presence, leaving Ginger Guest unaware of her intentions.
If Ginger Guest knew what Ji Min was thinking deep down, he probably wouldn’t have been so eager to "talk" with Wei Chen.
