Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chu Linfeng was momentarily stunned; weren’t these people a little too pragmatic? They kneeled at the drop of a hat! Even if ’might makes right,’ this was unnecessary. Hurriedly, he said, ”Everyone, please stand up. Let your Princess serve as the Demon Lord. My stay in the Demon Realm won’t be long; let’s just leave this matter be!”

Joking about staying here to become the master of the Demon Realm – would that mean giving up the women in Canglan Ancient Land, ignoring the Sect, and most importantly, doing nothing to rescue his mother? Chu Linfeng glanced at Meng Ji and said, ”Xuan’Er, stop fooling around. You know my situation; there are still many matters awaiting my attention. You should temporarily serve as Demon Lord in your father’s place. Once he recovers, you return to Canglan Ancient Land. Don’t forget Lin’er is still there.”

Meng Ji laughed at this point, ”Lin Feng, why don’t you stay with me for a month before leaving? This is my family home, and it’s your first visit; it seems unreasonable not to stay a while.”

”Xuan’Er, don’t make things difficult for Qingshuang. Your father should be able to restore his body after two months of seclusion. He won’t keep you once you’re ready to return to Canglan Ancient Land. However, for now, you need to handle the affairs of the Demon Race. As Master of the Sect, Qingshuang naturally has his responsibilities. As his woman, you should understand this.” The Demon Lord interjected.

”Father, I was just joking with Lin Feng, yet you side with him over your own daughter! You’re so mean, I won’t speak to you anymore!” Meng Ji said with a playful smile.

”Alright! No one wanted today’s events to unfold as they did. Zhou Wenbin committed treason and sought to seize the position of Demon Lord. Such a person must not be allowed to remain in this world. Although many of you are dissatisfied, as long as you survived, I shall let bygones be bygones. I hope you will strive for the prosperity of our Demon Race. The succession ceremony is unnecessary; however, we should hold a welcoming feast for the Human Race’s strongest, Qingshuang, and your Princess. Go make the arrangements later.

Also, with the Grand Elder and Second Elder dead, new appointments are needed. Meng Xianglan has performed admirably and shall be the new Grand Elder to assist Xuan’Er with managing Demon Race affairs. As for the Second Elder, the former Third Elder will step up. As long as everyone works together, I will not let anyone down,” the Demon Lord said.

None of the crowd had objections to the Demon Lord’s arrangements. After dealing with the matters in the great hall, Meng Ji returned to her room, while Chu Linfeng entered the Demon Lord’s secret chamber.

”Qingshuang, who would’ve thought I’d actually become your father-in-law? This feels fantastic! You must treat me with due respect; otherwise, you’ll be in for it,” the Demon Lord suddenly remarked.

”Save it! If I’m in a bad mood and want to beat you up, I will. Do you think Xuan’Er would side with you? You’d better focus on restoring your body; if you need help, just say so without feeling embarrassed,” Chu Linfeng responded with a chuckle.

”As expected, nothing escapes you. Restoring the body isn’t difficult for us demons. I’ll be finished in half a month, but regaining strength will take some time. Right now, what I need the most is the Wood Element within you. Could you find a way to get some for me?” the Demon Lord said.

”Old man, you even know about the Wood Element within me! It seems you’re well-informed, sneaking peeks from the Cyan Frost Sword. That’s unworthy of a realm master,” Chu Linfeng commented. Naturally, he could help with the Wood Element by channeling it in a sealed chamber.

”Don’t frame it so unpleasantly; I found out by accident. Take good care of Xuan’Er, and visit the Demon Realm occasionally,” the Demon Lord said.

”Just focus on restoring your body. I’ll be leaving in two days; when you’re ready, send Xuan’Er back. She’s the child’s mother, you understand,” Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

Examining the secret chamber, Chu Linfeng found it sufficiently sealed. With a thought, he released a constant stream of Wood Element from his hand, stopping only about an hour later. The chamber now brimmed with vitality.

”Qingshuang, thank you!” The Demon Lord expressed his gratitude with a few simple words before ignoring Chu Linfeng and sitting down cross-legged to begin restoring his body.

Chu Linfeng left the secret chamber. He had wanted to ask the Demon Lord about bodily restoration, but remembering he had Sword Spirit to consult, he held back.

Back in Meng Ji’s room, Ling’er had prepared the food and was waiting for him. ”Son-in-law, I didn’t expect you to become so powerful in just a few years. I hardly recognize you; how did you do it?”

”Wanna know?” Chu Linfeng looked at her with a smile.

”Of course, why else would I ask? I never thought you’d become a supreme powerhouse in Canglan Ancient Land; it’s unbelievable.” Ling’er looked at Chu Linfeng in disbelief.

”Kiss me, and I’ll tell you this earth-shattering secret. Isn’t that a good deal?” Chu Linfeng said, glancing at Meng Ji.

”Son-in-law, you’re so bad! You both enjoy your meal; Ling’er will leave now!” Ling’er’s face turned a bright red as she quickly left, making Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji laugh heartily.

”Lin Feng, how could you tease Ling’er like that? She’s such an innocent girl! Your words could easily stir her feelings, leaving a woman to yearn sleeplessly for you once you depart. That’s so wicked of you,” Meng Ji said, rolling her eyes at him.

”I understand. Let’s toast to today’s events. How’s that surprise I gave you? Satisfied?” Chu Linfeng asked with a grin.

”You’re despicable. My father could’ve freely come and gone all along, and you kept it from me! Tonight you’re not allowed to touch me,” Meng Ji declared.

”Really? That heartless? So I’ll go to Ling’er then!”

”You dare? I’ll make you regret it!”

The next day, Meng Xianglan personally arranged a welcoming banquet for Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji. People’s attitudes towards Chu Linfeng had changed dramatically; no longer looking down on him for being human, they instead toasted and flattered him, leaving him feeling quite elated.

After spending three days in the Demon Realm, Chu Linfeng departed. Despite Meng Ji’s repeated pleas for him to stay longer, Chu Linfeng was eager to leave. Meng Ji promised Chu Linfeng she would return to Canglan Ancient Land as soon as the Demon Lord emerged from seclusion.

After leaving the Demon Realm, Chu Linfeng, Xiaoying, and the Golden Demon Vulture reappeared. Solving this matter left him feeling relaxed. This time, he intended to return to the Celestial Dragon Empire once more to see his old brothers. He had left in a rush last time and forgot to visit them. He felt it might be necessary to bring them back to Canglan Ancient Land to enhance their strength.
