This set Yang Feilong's mind at ease. He then asked, "By the way, do you have confidence in defeating those two副领主 (vice-lords)?"
"Very confident!" Qingluan said proudly, brimming with self-assurance.
"Don't be too careless," Yang Feilong cautioned. "After all, you and I are in the same boat now."
"Don't be silly, you're human, and I'm a demon," Qingluan huffed.
"......"
Yang Feilong was speechless. This woman. But she was right. Most of the time he saw her, she was in human form, which made him forget that she was essentially a demon, a great Qingluan demon.
"Of course, although I am confident, I will not be careless. After all, didn't I underestimate you last time and you got an immense advantage?" Qingluan added.
Yang Feilong was rendered speechless by Qingluan's words. It was true, he had indeed gained an immense advantage last time. Although some time had passed, Yang Feilong was still very happy when he thought of his gains.
It was simply that the gains were too substantial!
"Do you want me to go with you?" Yang Feilong asked.
"We'll see then. I haven't fully recovered from my injuries yet. We'll discuss it after I've completely healed!" Qingluan said. "Besides, I have a premonition that after recovering from this injury, my cultivation might advance further!"
"Oh? In that case, I'll offer my congratulations in advance!" Yang Feilong said with surprise.
"No need. I am the future炼虚境 (Void Refinement Realm) demon king. Remember to treat me well!" Qingluan looked at Yang Feilong, raising an eyebrow.
Yang Feilong: "......"
This narcissistic demoness. He really wanted to spank her. So tsundere.
"Alright, that's enough. I'm going into seclusion. You go and have children with your women!" Qingluan waved goodbye to Yang Feilong and left, her shapely buttocks swaying.
"This demoness is going to disrupt my dao heart again!" Yang Feilong shook his head. The sway of her hips was truly tantalizing.
He silently recited the mantra of purity, only then suppressing the rising amorous thoughts.
In the following days, he refined pills, practiced his sword, and cultivated with Tang Ya. The days passed one by one.
The dates in the demon realm were not synchronized with the other world. Yang Feilong silently calculated that the new year had already passed. He had ultimately failed to return before the new year.
Fortunately, not everyone around him was a demon. He had a woman accompanying him.
Yang Feilong was almost afraid to cultivate with Tang Ya anymore, because her cultivation was improving too quickly. After only one or two months of dual cultivation, she had already reached the eighth level of the Golden Core realm, perfection. If this continued, she might break through to the Nascent Soul realm in a few months.
If that happened, she would also be trapped in this demon realm!
Yang Feilong's own cultivation had also made considerable progress compared to two months ago. He had now broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, to be precise, he had reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm, perfection.
The reason for such rapid cultivation advancement was simple. Tang Ya's physique was a Yin-Yang cultivation cauldron type, suitable for dual cultivation. This was why Yang Feilong's cultivation progressed so quickly with her. It also explained why his cultivation had improved so much when he first started cultivating with her.
One must know that his current cultivation was already in the Nascent Soul realm. Every advancement in a stage was immense!
On this day, Qingluan emerged from seclusion.
The moment Yang Feilong saw Qingluan in the living room, he felt a considerable pressure emanating from her.
"You've broken through?" Yang Feilong looked at the demoness.
"Of course. I am now in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm!" Qingluan said proudly. "If I encounter the Ling Yuan again, in a head-on battle, I will not fear him at all! Even if I cannot defeat him, I will at least be able to hold my ground!"
Her cultivation was one level lower than Ling Yuan, who was at the perfection of the Primordial Spirit realm. However, she possessed the super-grade spiritual artifact, the Feng Huo Sword, which greatly enhanced her strength.
Challenging Ling Yuan, who was a level higher, was not too difficult for her!
After all, although Ling Yuan's name sounded agile, he could not compare to Qingluan, who excelled in speed. Even in her human form, Qingluan's speed far surpassed Ling Yuan's. Ling Yuan's greatest strength was his defense, but no matter how strong his defense was, it could not withstand the destructive power of a super-grade spiritual artifact!
Ling Yuan could not harm Qingluan, while Qingluan could easily break through Ling Yuan's defenses. Given enough time, Ling Yuan would inevitably lose!
After all, the gap in cultivation was not that significant!
"Amazing!" Yang Feilong gave a thumbs-up and praised, "In that case, below the Void Refinement Realm, you are almost invincible?"
"More or less. Of course, there are still a few powerful beings that I might not be able to defeat," Qingluan said. "Moreover, I cannot easily use this Feng Huo Sword!"
"Indeed. After all, your Feng Huo Sword is top-tier among super-grade spiritual artifacts! Even some Void Refinement Realm beings would covet it!" Yang Feilong nodded.
"Of course, to deal with those two vice-lords, I don't need to use a super-grade spiritual artifact. My previous sword is sufficient! I came this time mainly to ask if you want to send your woman away from the demon realm," Qingluan said.
"I've already told her. We'll try!" Yang Feilong said.
He had indeed spoken to Tang Ya about this matter. Although Tang Ya did not want to be separated from Yang Feilong, she also knew that even with her greatly improved strength, she was still in great danger in the demon realm. Of course, if they could pass through the demon realm passage in the county city together, that would be best. If not, and only she could, then she would have to leave.
Because if Yang Feilong were alone, he would have fewer concerns. As long as he found a suitable opportunity, he could leave easily without the burden of her.
"That's good then! Prepare yourselves. We will depart for Wanshan City tomorrow!" Qingluan said.
"As a human, can I go out in the open without any issues?" Yang Feilong asked.
"Actually, there isn't much of a problem," Qingluan said. "After all, in the demon realm, there are still quite a few powerful beings who have human slaves."
"En?" Yang Feilong frowned and looked at Qingluan with an unfriendly expression.
"Why are you angry with me? I only summoned Tang Ya because I wanted to obtain the treasure of the Huo Yan King. I haven't done anything to her, have I?" Qingluan said helplessly.
"You still say you haven't done anything to her? Didn't you initially treat her as a tool and cannon fodder for obtaining treasure?" Yang Feilong snorted.
"I have some Golden Core realm cultivators among my people. When I went to retrieve the sword earlier, didn't I send my subordinates first? It was only when my subordinates couldn't complete the task that I made her act. Besides, weren't we in different factions before?" Qingluan sighed.
Yang Feilong actually knew that there was no need for him to be so concerned. How many demons had they killed?
Moreover, demons were notoriously cruel to each other in their battles!
Capturing humans as slaves was a normal occurrence.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll depart tomorrow, then tomorrow it is!" Yang Feilong, not wanting to bicker with Qingluan over this matter, nodded and returned.
