Li Yi noticed the unusual expressions on Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's faces and a sudden thought struck him. He followed them into the medicinal field.
Seeing the spiritual herbs in the medicinal field were verdant and thriving, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yi had seen the strange looks on Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's faces and thought something had happened to the medicinal field, which was why he followed them.
The spiritual herbs in the medicinal field were unharmed, but there wasn't a single spiritual fruit on the spiritual fruit trees. Li Yi clearly remembered that before he went into seclusion, these spiritual trees were laden with spiritual fruits, with branches full and heavy.
Connecting this with the expressions on Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's faces just now, Li Yi understood.
When Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao saw Li Yi enter the medicinal field, they immediately buried their heads in loosening the soil around the spiritual herbs, as if they hadn't seen him.
Li Yi watched as Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao practically buried their heads in the dirt and found it amusing. "It's just a few fruits, there's no need for this. I'm not that stingy."
Seeing that Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were ignoring him, Li Yi spoke up:
"Jin Jiao! Yin Jiao!"
Hearing Li Yi call them, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao buried their heads even deeper!
Li Yi raised his voice a few decibels and spoke again:
"Jin Jiao! Yin Jiao!"
Seeing that they couldn't escape, Jin Jiao took the initiative to confess:
"Master, punish me!"
Yin Jiao quickly added:
"Master, it's not my brother's fault, it was me!"
Li Yi chuckled, unable to hide his exasperation, and said:
"Alright, I'm not blaming you. It's just a few spiritual fruits, it's not a big deal! Besides, you two don't have the appetite for them. Qi Chen and Duo Bao were involved too, weren't they?"
Seeing that Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were still silent, Li Yi continued:
"You two have managed this medicinal field very well. Today, I will impart a divine ability to you as a reward!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao happily raised their heads and said:
"Master, you really don't blame us? And you're giving us a reward?"
Li Yi nodded:
"What's there to blame? Those spiritual fruits were grown for you. Besides, didn't I say you could eat them as you pleased?"
Yin Jiao whispered:
"But they've all been eaten, and you won't have any to entertain guests!"
Li Yi laughed heartily:
"It doesn't matter. It seems I didn't grow enough. When I go out sometime, I'll find more for you, and you can have a change of taste!"
Li Yi then spoke with a serious expression:
"Alright, the divine ability I'm imparting to you today is the Earth Evasion Technique. You are both beetles, so this technique will complement your nature. You must practice it well!"
As Li Yi spoke, he waved the Taiyi whisk in his hand, and two beams of golden light flew towards Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's brows, entering them.
The two were overjoyed and were about to thank Li Yi when they realized he had already disappeared.
Upon returning to the Taiqing Palace, Li Yi remembered that the Chaos Bead had several seals that hadn't been refined due to insufficient cultivation. He decided to refine them during this period of free time.
In the Demon Court, the Twelve Demon Generals had been subjugating demons across various regions since their last visit to Mount Ziyang.
Today, the Twelve Demon Generals were reunited at the Demon Court because Bai Ze had informed them that the Demon Emperor was about to emerge from seclusion.
Xi He and Chang Xi had also arrived at the seclusion place of Di Jun and Tai Yi to wait. They too sensed that Di Jun and Tai Yi were about to emerge!
The Twelve Demon Generals were gathered, discussing the subjugation of various demon tribes during this period, while Xi He and Chang Xi were engaged in casual conversation!
However, everyone had one thing in common: they would occasionally glance at the two tightly closed doors!
"Creak!" With the sound of a door opening, a gap appeared in the two tightly closed doors. The doors slowly swung inward, and the figures of Di Jun and Tai Yi appeared before everyone!
As Di Jun and Tai Yi stepped across the threshold, they heard the Twelve Demon Generals speak in unison:
"Welcome Your Majesty the Demon Emperor out of seclusion!"
"Welcome Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor out of seclusion!"
Xi He and Chang Xi also rose and came to Di Jun and Tai Yi's side!
Xi He: "Di Jun, you're out of seclusion!"
Chang Xi: "Brother Tai Yi, you're out of seclusion!"
The Twelve Demon Generals kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, as if they hadn't seen anything!
Di Jun gently tickled Xi He's nose and whispered in her ear:
"There are outsiders here! We'll talk in the room later!"
A blush spread across Xi He's face. She nodded gently and whispered like a mosquito:
"Mm!"
Tai Yi, on the other hand, dotingly ruffled Chang Xi's hair and whispered in her ear:
"Did you miss me?"
Chang Xi blushed and nodded gently!
Just as Di Jun and Tai Yi were being affectionate with Xi He and Chang Xi, an ill-timed cough was heard.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi looked towards the sound and saw the Twelve Demon Generals still in their saluting posture!
Di Jun and Tai Yi coughed and said:
"Rise!"
The Twelve Demon Generals finally let out a sigh of relief and said:
"Thank you, Demon Emperor!"
"Thank you, Eastern Emperor!"
To cover up his awkwardness at ignoring everyone, Di Jun quickly asked:
"Alright, let's all head to the great hall for a discussion!"
As Di Jun spoke, he took Xi He's hand and walked towards the great hall! The Twelve Demon Generals had intended to wait for Tai Yi to leave before following, but when they looked up, Tai Yi and Chang Xi had already vanished!
Seeing this, the Twelve Demon Generals had no choice but to follow closely behind Di Jun and Xi He towards the great hall!
Tai Yi wasn't interested in these matters, so he pulled Chang Xi and ran off!
Upon arriving at the great hall, the Twelve Demon Generals first reported on the demons they had subjugated. This matter had been discussed by Di Jun and Bai Ze, so Di Jun merely listened casually!
Seeing that the other eleven demon generals had finished their reports, Di Jun turned his gaze to Bai Ze and asked:
"Bai Ze, what about you?"
Bai Ze, hearing Di Jun call his name, immediately stood up and said:
"Everything in the Demon Court is normal! However?"
"Hmm?" Di Jun's brow furrowed, and he asked:
"However, what?"
Bai Ze quickly replied:
"A while ago, we discovered two powerful demon beings near Mount Buzhou on Mount Ziyang! The Twelve Demon Generals went together, intending to invite them to join our Demon Court, but they refused!"
Hearing this, Di Jun's brow furrowed even deeper, and he asked:
"What is their cultivation level?"
Bai Ze shook his head and said:
"We cannot ascertain. They are likely far above us!"
Bai Ze continued:
"Your Majesty, although those two did not agree to join the Demon Court, they are not hostile towards us. I believe we can still try to persuade them!"
Di Jun nodded and said, "I understand!"
After speaking, Di Jun ended the meeting!
After the meeting, Di Jun saw Xi He had already returned. He then found Tai Yi and told him what Bai Ze had said, asking:
"Tai Yi, why don't you go to Mount Ziyang and probe the strength of those two?"
Tai Yi nodded and said:
"Brother, don't worry!"
As soon as Tai Yi finished speaking, Chang Xi expressed her desire to go as well. Di Jun thought that with Tai Yi protecting her, there shouldn't be any danger, so he nodded and instructed Tai Yi to take good care of Chang Xi!
