The happy days always pass quickly, and before they knew it, the fierce sun had already set.
Bai Yan spent the whole day with An Yan and Little Mianao, finally experiencing what it felt like to be a father.
Although Little Mianao was very well-behaved and didn't cry or fuss, Bai Yan didn't have much experience in this area, so he was quite flustered.
Unfortunately, in the evening, An Yan chased Bai Yan out of the room, saying that his sleeping posture was too poor and she was afraid he might press on the child, asking him to sleep with others instead.
An Yan did this, of course, to give Bai Yan's other women a chance, as she, being the Bai Family's Matriarch, didn't want to be known as someone jealous.
But tonight, Bai Yan still hadn't let fertile water flow to other people's fields.
Just as night fell, An Xiaowan appeared in front of Bai Yan, her cheeks blushing bright red.
"Brother Yan... tonight my door won't be locked..."
An Xiaowan was still that same An Xiaowan. Even after marrying Bai Yan, she remained infinitely shy.
Just after finishing this sentence, An Xiaowan ran away from Bai Yan's side, her face blushing red again.
Bai Yan naturally understood the meaning behind An Xiaowan's words. Aside from a moment of excitement in his heart, there was more anticipation.
...
As the night deepened, Bai Yan appeared outside An Xiaowan's door, gently pushing it open, and sure enough, it wasn't locked.
"Wan Er, Brother Yan is coming in, hehe!"
Walking softly into An Xiaowan's room, Bai Yan had an expectant smile on his lips.
"Brother Yan... don't be so loud... what if you wake up sister..."
Climbing into An Xiaowan's bed, Bai Yan heard her delicate gasp, filled with expectant shyness.
"Don't be afraid, no matter how loud you cry tonight, no one will hear you."
Looking at An Xiaowan with a smirk, Bai Yan waved his hand to set a Barrier around the room. After becoming a god, his control over energy became more refined, achieving such a level was not strange.
"Ah!"
Hearing Bai Yan's bluntness, An Xiaowan let out a yelp, her small face blushing once again.
...
The sound of horns and moonlight through the window gauze, startling half the village of crows into cries. Disrupting the gentleman's eyes, not allowing, a courtyard of spring dew wets the pear blossoms.
...
Without further words throughout the night, the next morning, Bai Yan appeared beneath the Abyss' Altar, while An Xiaowan, exhausted from the previous night, still lingered in the warm bed.
Seated cross-legged beneath the altar, Bai Yan began to review the demon energy he gained after the Divine Kingdom's divine war.
The time spent in the Divine Kingdom wasn't too long nor too short, enough to accumulate some energy.
However, the demon energy required to upgrade the territory from level five to level six was simply too much, so much so that it was truly hard for him to accept. Moreover, with no major wars at the moment, Bai Yan, though anxious, knew this kind of thing needed to happen gradually.
Once the Divine Kingdom begins to breed a large number of high-level beings, Bai Yan will have a more stable source of demon energy.
By then, the upgrade of the territory level should be possible.
With this in mind, Bai Yan reached out and clicked continuously in the Void.
Although the territory's level couldn't be raised temporarily, it didn't mean he couldn't enhance the strength of his subordinates.
Each of the three hundred thousand Demon Warriors was at the Legend Realm, and Bai Yan could choose to spend some demon energy to enhance their overall power.
The large amount of demon energy obtained from the Divine Kingdom was allocated by Bai Yan to every Demon Warrior, who, across different planes, instantly felt the increase in Demon Power within them.
Whether it was the Demon Warriors guarding Bai Yan's family on Demon Island or those dealing with follow-up matters in the Divine Kingdom, or even those fighting among zombies, all at this moment sincerely offered their reverence to Bai Yan.
Thus, sitting cross-legged beneath the altar, Bai Yan felt a huge Power of Faith converging from various planes.
As the Power of Faith entered his body, Bai Yan understood its use.
It can be said that the Power of Faith is the most versatile of all the energies Bai Yan can use. It can accomplish almost anything.
For instance, Bai Yan's somewhat unstable strength became completely stable under the influence of the Power of Faith.
This gave him more confidence to confront the Black-clad Supreme who nearly injured him before and also made him understand the true extent of his power.
Under Bai Yan's allocation, the power of the three hundred thousand fanatic-level Demon Warriors was greatly enhanced almost simultaneously.
Their inherent strength had already reached the peak of the Legend Realm, but breaking through to the next level would require more effort.
At the very least, Bai Yan's current demon energy was insufficient to support them all in advancing to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Moreover, Bai Yan still had plans for this demon energy. He wanted to enhance the strength of another unit, the Nightmare Knights, who had earned him quite the face during his wedding.
The Nightmare Knights had also appeared in the war within the Divine Kingdom, but Bai Yan could clearly feel that although their might was considerable on the Divine Kingdom's battlefield, they might struggle against stronger adversaries in the future.
Therefore, enhancing the Nightmare Knights' strength was of the utmost urgency.
The path to enhancing the Nightmare Knights' strength was fixed. Bai Yan had once seen a Nightmare Knight's evolved form, battling the Abyss Demon Dragon Alec, which was how he envisioned and anticipated the Nightmare Knights.
The Nightmare Knights were currently still level five demons, and Bai Yan couldn't make any significant enhancements before the territory level upgraded. Besides, he himself was merely a level six demon; although ordinary level nine demons had no way to deal with him.
So, for now, what Bai Yan could do was to elevate the Nightmare Knights to the peak of level five demons, then quickly improve his own strength and the demon territory's level.
Only then could he continue upgrading the Nightmare Knights.
The Nightmare Knights were different from the Demon Warriors. Demon Warriors were specialized fighters formed by demons empowering certain humans with strength.
But the Nightmare Knights were purely demons. Their power solely depended on Bai Yan's strength and the demon territory's level.
Thinking this, Bai Yan invested all the remaining demon energy into enhancing the Nightmare Knights.
Since the level couldn't be upgraded, continually strengthening their bodies at the current level didn't violate the System's rules.
And after becoming the God of Demon, Bai Yan's understanding of the demon species probably surpassed the System's. Naturally, he could discern how to boost the Nightmare Knights' power without upgrading their level.
He understood the demon species better than any demon in the entire Abyss, including Satan.
