"Hmm, with Ge Changming’s help, everything was quickly arranged."
She cast a grateful look at Ge Changming.
Tang Qinglan’s gaze returned to Lu Zixun, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
At this moment, Si Keke wore a somewhat strange expression.
How come Lu Zixun, as a cat, had such good fortune.
"There’s been nothing recently, go rest for now. I’ll call you if I need anything."
He smiled, shook his head, and indicated it was not necessary.
After Tang Qinglan had left, Lu Zixun turned to Ge Changming, "Tell your people to keep an eye on the movements of the Zone 14 Insect Clan, and report back to me immediately if anything unusual occurs."
Upon hearing this, Ge Changming nodded, looking at the beast skin in his hands he said, "Brother Xun, you asked me to investigate the Eagle Clan, and I’ve found something quite interesting. The Eagle Clan is not as brutal as the Teeth Wolf Clan claims, but quite kind and friendly instead."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Moreover, after talking to them about their territory, not only did they show no resistance, they even planned to relocate their entire tribe, bringing with them instruments that can gather the Power of Faith."
His gaze deepened, and Lu Zixun’s tail swished a few times, "Are you certain the Eagle Clan wants to come and co-build the territory, and not that they have other intentions to replace us?"
"Hmm, the Eagle Clan doesn’t have any S-class entities, so a takeover is quite unrealistic."
Ge Changming pursed his lips, smiled and said, "Moreover, the current Clan Leader of the Eagle Clan is my great uncle."
Lu Zixun frowned, showing some understanding—it turns out there was this relationship.
As for whether Ge Changming would conspire with his great uncle to betray the Demon Country, Lu Zixun had never even considered such a thing.
Unless Ge Changming wished to explode and die.
"The matter of reception, I’ll leave it to you."
Raising his paw and waving, Lu Zixun said, "Tomorrow I may have to leave the Demon Country for a while. If there are any visitors, you’ll go on my behalf."
The obvious act of delegating authority made Ge Changming feel flustered, he looked at Lu Zixun and stammered, "Brother Xun, I... you... where are you going? I’m afraid I might not handle it well."
"If you can’t handle it, you’ll have to learn how to handle it, as you’ll need to deal with many things in the future."
Lu Zixun’s gaze flickered for a moment and cut off Ge Changming, "Alright, don’t ask why, just go and do it."
Swallowing a mouthful of questions, Ge Changming exited the stone house with a worried look.
Si Keke, yawning, looked at Lu Zixun with teary eyes, "Why delegate power to Ge Changming? If the Demon Clan could really integrate, it would be a formidable force. Isn’t that what you want?"
He casually picked up the beast skin on the table and shook it, Lu Zixun said indifferently, "If I’m always at the forefront, there might not be any issues in the short term, but in the long run, it certainly won’t last."
"Why not? Is it because you can’t Transform?"
Because Lu Zixun had refused Si Keke’s request to Transform, and these past few days, Lu Zixun had been working in his cat form.
So Si Keke thought Lu Zixun couldn’t Transform.
A face full of black lines, Lu Zixun felt somewhat suffocated. What was going on with Si Keke’s thought processes?
"If you say so, then let it be."
Too lazy to explain to Si Keke, Lu Zixun raised his paw impatiently and waved, "You should go out now. I need to begin working."
Si Keke knew Lu Zixun was shooing her away, she huffed and walked out of the stone house.
Looking at the beast skin that recorded the ins and outs of the Demon Country’s development, Lu Zixun’s gaze turned profound.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stand in the spotlight, but he couldn’t do so.
The thought of a Demon Clan leader, who could only use Spiritual Energy, seemed ridiculous.
In the midst of development, there might be no complaints about Lu Zixun due to the pace of development.
But in the long run, different voices would inevitably emerge.
Since such a thing would happen sooner or later, it would be better to take a step back now while the situation was stable, and become a Regent King.
On the surface, it would be Ge Changming leading.
But in reality, without Lu Zixun, the Demon Country would completely collapse—that was what Lu Zixun wanted.
Just looking at the stack of beast skins piled up like a small mountain in front of him, Lu Zixun felt like crying without tears. The role of Regent King was not easy.
"Queen, a Clan member has reported finding your gift mark."
At the moment, inside an office building, an Insect Clan member with a red mask knelt on one knee before a woman.
Fiddling with her hair, Yue Sichen propped her chin with the other hand, "Where was it found? Is it in our zone?"
The reporting Insect Clan member shook their head, "It was found in the Demon Clan’s region, that is, Zone 13."
Frowning and considering for a while, Yue Sichen seemed to remember something, her furrowed brow relaxed, "Tell Zone 14 to behave, if he dies, all the Demons in Zone 14 will be buried with him."
Responding earnestly, the room was left with only Yue Sichen.
She stood up and walked to the floor-length windows, outside was a city covered with fungus blankets.
Yue Sichen smiled seductively, "Coming to the Crimson Land without saying a word to me, Da Ju, you’re naughty."
"Queen, the Light and Shadow Council has invited you over, shall we..."
Fixing her hair, Yue Sichen said nonchalantly, "Let me see just how reliable their plan for Zone 10 really is."
Time always flies when one is engrossed in a task.
Were it not for Ge Changming bringing dinner, Lu Zixun would not have realized that night had already fallen.
Eating dinner, Lu Zixun took out his phone and connected to the Star Network, eagerly looking through intelligence information.
"The Light and Shadow Council has made a statement: as long as Zone 10’s territory is relinquished, the Insect Clan will not attack humans for a year."
A headline in bold red caught Lu Zixun’s attention, prompting him to click and have a look.
A masked person stood on a high platform, opened their arms and said, "The world will eventually belong to light and shadow. Accept the arrangements of the Light and Shadow Master, and everything will proceed along the path that destiny should take, otherwise..."
The camera moved up into the sky, and now the entire assembly could be seen, all wearing dark blood-colored cloaks.
Together they loudly chanted, "The Master’s retribution will descend!"
The entire video was only about thirty seconds long, but to Lu Zixun it was utterly puzzling.
What kind of cult had sprung from nowhere, speaking such nonsense?
He thought the video would be banned in the next second.
But then, Lu Zixun saw Sha Fei’s reply: "Fools dreaming."
