The Realm of Acacia, Twelve Flower Queens

"Young Master Jiang, this place is called the Myriad Demon Hunting Ground. It is a top-tier forbidden area in our Demon Domain. It contains the lingering resentful souls of immortal-level demons, as well as fragmented immortal weapons..."

Demon Monarch Lianxian explained to Jiang Che, beads of sweat even seeping out on his forehead.

Jiang Che's face already showed impatience.

"Little Lian, are you doing this on purpose? Did you seriously just bring me here to look at the scenery?"

Demon Monarch Lianxian was instantly scared almost to the point of peeing himself. "Young Master, Young Master, that's not it at all!"

He had originally planned to take Jiang Che for a stroll through the red-light districts of the Demon Domain. There was a region in their Demon Domain called the Hehuan Domain. Within this massive territory, all the female cultivators practiced dual cultivation techniques. It could be called the greatest money-squandering den in the Nine Heavens, and there was even a top-tier courtesan at the Immortal Lord level presiding over the Pouring Immortal Pavilion.

He had wanted to take Young Master Jiang to this devil's den to have some fun, but the sudden appearance of Di Zhao earlier had completely poured cold water on that idea!

The women around Jiang Che were casually at the Immortal Emperor or Immortal Venerable realm. What kind of women hadn't he seen?

Even if it was true that home-grown flowers weren't as fragrant as wild ones, he still didn't dare to actually take Jiang Che to such a place. What if his wives got jealous and secretly came looking for trouble? With existences of that level, let alone them personally taking action, even a single wisp of killing intent would be enough to kill him hundreds of times over.

"Young Master Jiang..."

"Heh... You've got some nerve, daring to fool me? I think your cultivation as an Immortal Monarch is still too high; Immortal Lord might suit you better," Jiang Che's tone carried a hint of threat.

Demon Monarch Lianxian: "..."

"No, no, no, Young Master Jiang... I'll take you there, alright? For Xuan'er's sake... please spare my life."

"Xuan'er?" Jiang Che chuckled lightly. That little demoness had already been trained to be completely obedient by him.

Originally, both Mo Lingxuan and Jia Mengluo referred to themselves as guilty concubines and didn't dare to appear openly by Jiang Che's side. However, ever since Jia Mengluo confessed to Jia Ling'er, she had essentially stepped ashore. Only Mo Lingxuan was left pitifully hiding in the shadows, relegated to being just a bed-warming lover.

Demon Monarch Lianxian's heart turned cold. "Young... Young Master Jiang, is Xuan'er... is she alright?"

He knew his daughter's personality very well; she was absolutely the type of little demoness who would rather die than submit. If she ended up by Jiang Che's side... and didn't change her demonic temper, she would suffer greatly. She might even enrage Young Master Jiang and lose her life...

"Xuan'er has been wanting to get pregnant and have a child recently, but her luck with pregnancy hasn't been very good."

Jiang Che spoke truthfully. That girl Mo Lingxuan had been acting crazy lately. After seeing Jia Mengluo get pregnant and use the child to escape her bitter situation, her own desire to get pregnant had become incredibly strong.

"Wh-What??? Xuan'er wants a child??? And you... you agreed?"

Happiness came too suddenly. Demon Monarch Lianxian felt completely enveloped in immense joy. It seemed his daughter was quite capable after all, able to turn things around even in a desperate situation. As expected of his daughter.

"Heh... What? Could it be that you want me to call you father-in-law?"

Jiang Che's single sentence instantly dragged Demon Monarch Lianxian back to reality. "Cough, cough... I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

"Please follow me. I will take you to the most luxurious and intoxicating place in the Nine Heavens, the Hehuan Domain."

With his daughter backing him up, Demon Monarch Lianxian's posture straightened with confidence.

Even if his daughter wasn't favored, he was at least nominally Jiang Che's father-in-law. If Xuan'er could try a bit harder and conceive an immortal seed, then he would truly have made it.

...

Jiang Che: "..."

Ever since stepping into the Hehuan Domain, Jiang Che felt a faint ache in his kidneys. It was no exaggeration to say... no words could adequately describe the chaos of this place.

Any random sentence spoken here would be censored content. And it wasn't just the content... if the world needed pixelation, there would be moving mosaics almost everywhere you looked here.

"Cough, cough... Young Master Jiang, the local customs here are exactly like..."

Just as the old man was about to speak, a group of demonesses dressed in colorful clothes fluttered over.

"Oho, what a handsome young man. This face looks a bit familiar too. I wonder if this handsome gentleman has time to practice the Great Dao with me?"

The female cultivator in red lightly licked her lips, her eyes practically oozing with lust. Her appearance could be considered beautiful, definitely at the level of a goddess, but she couldn't charm Jiang Che.

Even when facing the ancestor-level charmer Bai Susu, Jiang Che could remain completely unfazed, let alone these vulgar women.

"Hiss—Sister Yanyan, isn't... isn't this Young Master Jiang?"

"What Young Master Jiang? Among the young masters I accompanied yesterday, was there anyone with the surname Jiang? I think there were a few who called themselves the Emperor Sons of the Jiang family, right?"

"Cough, cough... Young Master Jiang, I am not familiar with them. I practice a proper demonic mental technique. Look, this is my chastity mark." Another female cultivator in a white dress recognized Jiang Che and did a complete 180-degree personality flip, turning from a promiscuous demoness into a good girl in the blink of an eye.

After all, Jiang Che didn't pick up damaged goods!

"Scram!"

Demon Monarch Lianxian's old face turned pitch black. How could such deformed melons and cracked dates be brought to the table?

After Jiang Che and the others left, the several Hehuan Dao demonesses finally reacted. That man just now was actually Jiang Che!!!

"No way... why didn't you warn me???"

"Didn't Young Master Jiang overlook me too?"

"It's over, I missed out on a fortune! If I had known, I would have tried even if it killed me. What if Young Master Jiang took a liking to me?"

"You? Setting aside your looks for a moment, do you think Young Master Jiang would look for damaged goods?"

"Who are you calling damaged goods?"

Thinking it over, they were filled with endless regret!

...

"Cough, cough, Young Master Jiang, what just happened was purely an accident," Demon Monarch Lianxian said repeatedly.

"Heh, the girls in this Hehuan Domain are certainly quite passionate." Jiang Che patted the corner of his clothes. To be honest... he felt dirty just being touched by that kind of woman.

It was true that he was lustful, and he could accept women who weren't absolutely peerless in beauty. After all, when you've eaten too many exotic delicacies, having some plain steamed buns is acceptable too. But he absolutely could not stomach stinking fish and rotten shrimp!

Even the most precious abalone or lobster, once rotten and stinking... no one would want to eat it.

"Please rest assured, this time I am taking you to our Demon Domain's Pouring Immortal Pavilion. The twelve courtesans inside are peerlessly beautiful, all uniformly at the Immortal cultivation level. They are proficient in all kinds of musical instruments and singing, and they only sell their art, not their bodies."

"Moreover, they have admired Young Master Jiang for a long time. You will definitely be the most special one to them!"

Demon Monarch Lianxian smiled; he was very serious about catering to his tastes!

In truth, the twelve courtesans of the Pouring Immortal Pavilion were all his adopted daughters. Although nominally courtesans, they were actually assassins he had taken in secretly. Over the years, they had eliminated many enemies for the Demon Palace and worked very hard... It was the perfect opportunity to use the excuse of pleasing Young Master Jiang to send the girls out, giving them a perfect home.

Staying by Young Master Jiang's side, even as maids... their treatment would certainly be impeccable!
