Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
With the assistance of Elder Tian Ji, Wang Ningxi, and Wang Anye, the power system of the Corrosive Moon Demon Palace has been slightly repaired. With the aid of a hundred Void Floating Dragons, it barely resisted the gravitational pull of the Demonic World, descending at a relatively slow speed into the Demonic Evil Sea west of the Demon Suppressing City.
At this point, the great migration of the Corrosive Moon Demon Palace can be considered concluded. In the future, a base can be constructed in the Demonic Evil Sea for the long-term repair and modification of the Corrosive Moon Demon Palace.
However, given the current situation of the Corrosive Moon Demon Palace, it probably canāt take off again until its power system is fully repaired.
The trade between the Void Floating Dragon Clan and the Wang family can now be considered complete.
The Wang family also adhered to their promise to the Void Floating Dragon tribe, offering large quantities of fresh, tender meat to the hardworking dragons. They marveled at the human raceās ability to raise such tender meat, and each ate until their bellies were as round as melons, almost unable to fly.
As a result, after brief discussions between the Floating Dragon King and the clan elders, they decided to extend their stay to enjoy more of the delicious food. However, ten days later, the Wang family stated that the previous agreement had been fulfilled, and they were under no obligation to provide food free of charge.
The Floating Dragon King was frustrated and wanted to lead the group away immediately, yet slightly reluctant to leave. Human-provided food tasted far better than the meat of Void creatures. After getting used to this, their original diet seemed like trash and was hard to swallow.
Seeing this, the Wang family "reluctantly" proposed another task. The Demon Subduing Prefecture had many cargo transport missions, and if the Floating Dragon tribe was interested, they could accept tasks and receive meat based on the workload.
It turned out that they could exchange labor for delicious meat.
The Floating Dragon King agreed without hesitation, participating in the transportation tasks.
Initially, the Wang family assigned them some simple tasks, gradually increasing the difficulty of the tasks later.
As the difficulty increased, the Void Floating Dragon Clan felt bothered and uncomfortable, but upon realizing that challenging tasks yielded better rewards, some "ambitious" Void Floating Dragons began learning the human language, actively communicating with humans about tasks.
This portion of the Void Floating Dragons reaped significant benefits. In the same amount of time, they earned more than other non-ambitious Void Floating Dragons. The latter began to envy them, with some starting to cause trouble.
However, those troublemakers were invariably expelled or severely punished, and the remaining Void Floating Dragons became more compliant upon seeing this. They realized that in order to obtain more advanced food, they had to work harder.
Thus, they began to learn and strive forward like the previous group of Void Floating Dragons.
But overall, there were only so many tasks available, and once everyone started striving, the challenging tasks were insufficiently divided. Some clever Void Floating Dragons began negotiating with humans, offering to reduce task rewards in exchange for premium tasks.
The internal competition within the Void Floating Dragon Clan formally began.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Wang Shouzhe and his wife. Nowadays, the Wang family was brimming with talented individuals, virtually eliminating the need for their direct involvement in most matters.
Thus, the couple casually visited the Demon Suppressing City and several typical high-yield farming facilities nearby, then took a detour directly back to Da Qian, reverting to their lifestyle as homebodies at the Wang family.
However, Wang Shouzheās peaceful days didnāt last long.
Only half a year later, the Red Hell Demon Emperor came brazenly, and stayed in Wang Shouzheās courtyard without leaving.
"Shouzhe, itās me, Red Hell! Iāve been diligently guarding the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins for the human race for years, enduring hardships without fear of danger." The Red Hell Demon Emperor exclaimed and bemoaned, "And yet, you went off with Yun Tiange and others to explore relics and enjoy yourselves, without taking me?! Theyāre making a fortune now, while I, the Red Hell Demon Emperor, havenāt even gotten a single hairāhow is that fair?"
Saying this, the Red Hell Demon Emperor began to lament and sigh, "I know itās all because Zhao Yu hasnāt put in enough effort, hasnāt borne a legitimate eldest son, and hasnāt helped your Wang family carry on the line!"
"Your Majesty, Red Hell!" Wang Shouzhe quickly interrupted as he started to speak nonsense, "Donāt drag it that far. This matter has nothing to do with Zhao Yu. Come, have some Ningxin Immortal Tea to calm down~~ we can talk slowly."
This [Ningxin Immortal Tea] is made from leaves of Emperor Xiu, with a golden and clear tea soup, elegant and fresh fragrance, helping to stabilize moods and dispel irritability, a precious quality among teas.
"Gulp gulp!" The Red Hell Demon Emperor downed the Ningxin Immortal Tea in one go and sorrowfully said, "Shouzhe, Iāve always considered you a brother, you mustnāt be blinded by Yun Tiangeās beauty. Just think, if the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty becomes too powerful, how does it benefit your Wang family? By letting our Red Moon Demon Dynasty keep the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty in check, your Wang family can thrive opportunistically."
"Your Majesty, youāre reaching." Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat, "Weāre all striving for the rise of the human race, donāt learn from the scheming demons of the Demonic World. And Iām clean with the Immortal Emperor."
