Lu Zixun pondered for a moment, "With the establishment of the Demon Country, it’s impossible for Zhenfei to have not received any news. If the Demon Clan inside is harmoniously collectively building the Demon Country, it might draw Zhenfei’s considerable attention to the Demon Country, which is not what we want."
"Then, regarding those of the Demon Clan, find a way to integrate them, forming a new territory in opposition to the Demon Country."
After pondering for a moment, Geng Xiyuan understood Lu Zixun’s intentions.
He nodded thoughtfully, "I understand. I’ll make arrangements right away."
After Geng Xiyuan had left, Lu Zixun patted his own head.
After sitting in the office for too long, many things didn’t seem very clear anymore.
Standing and shaking his fur, Lu Zixun decided to go for a walk.
On the streets, he saw members of the Demon Clan, each with smiles on their faces, full of confidence in the future of the Demon Country.
He sighed silently; how nice it would be if there was no Insect Clan.
But then he thought again, without the restraint of the Insect Clan, the Demon Clan might have long ceased to exist.
As Lu Zixun aimlessly wandered through the streets, his heart began to tangle again.
Did his existence now belong to the Demon Clan or the Human Clan, or perhaps he was a half-demon?
As he thought this, Lu Zixun shuddered; this title was quite frightening.
"If you haven’t transformed, you shouldn’t be wandering about outside, you know. The Law Enforcement Team will catch you if you’re not careful."
Just as Lu Zixun thought about returning, a woman appeared and picked him up.
"Ding—Love Value from Yun Yu +1000 detected."
While caressing Lu Zixun’s fur, Yun Yu cheerfully said, "If you haven’t transformed yet, why not stay at my place for a couple of days? Over the next few days, the Power of Faith will be sent down to aid in your Transformation."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow; she was too kind.
He waved his paw towards the hidden Geng Xiyuan, signaling that he could leave, and then settled on Yun Yu’s shoulder, smiling.
Geng Xiyuan touched his chin, shaking his head, and left with the Law Enforcement Team.
Arriving at Yun Yu’s residence, Lu Zixun saw the housing of the Demon Clan for the first time. It wasn’t that great, but it was enough to provide shelter from the elements.
Yun Yu, using her foot to close the door, patted Lu Zixun on the head with a smile.
"Wait for me a moment, okay? I’ll go get you something to eat."
Hopping onto the windowsill and surveying the surrounding houses, Lu Zixun’s eyes grew contemplative.
This kind of single-occupancy housing was too widespread.
It would be better to build an apartment complex, easier to manage while also ensuring residents’ safety.
"What are you looking at?"
Yun Yu joined Lu Zixun, placing milk on the windowsill and following his gaze.
"Are you looking at houses? Has your Spiritual Wisdom awakened? Can you talk?"
Finding Lu Zixun busily licking the milk, Yun Yu shrugged and mumbled to herself, "You were wandering the streets alone, so you probably don’t have a clan. Poor little thing."
Hearing that, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed.
He hadn’t thought of that; not everyone who came to live in the Demon Country had a clan.
How should these people be settled?
Especially those who couldn’t transform.
Just as Lu Zixun was pondering these matters, an urgent knock at the door interrupted him; he turned and saw a look of panic on Yun Yu’s face.
She hurried to his side, clutching him tightly in her arms, and said with a trembling voice, "Don’t make any noise, they’ll be gone soon."
She then sat down, covering Lu Zixun’s ears.
Lu Zixun, raising an eyebrow, looked towards the door, wondering what this was about.
"Just saw you come in, brother. This month’s Power of Faith is due, isn’t it?"
A man’s voice came from outside. Yun Yu bit her lower lip, remaining silent.
"Here’s the deal, I’ll give you one last day. We’ll be coming back tomorrow, and we won’t be so nice."
After the sound of footsteps signaled their departure, Yun Yu began to sob quietly.
Lu Zixun, who had hopped onto the table, looked at her before returning to the windowsill to watch the departing group.
What was this? Demanding Power of Faith at the door, what was this operation?
Taking a tissue from his talisman storage and handing it to Yun Yu, Lu Zixun asked indifferently, "Those people just now, what do they do?"
Yun Yu’s hand, catching the tissue, froze mid-air; shocked that Lu Zixun could talk, she stared at him, unable to speak for a while.
As Lu Zixun approached her, Yun Yu shrank onto the couch, clutching a pillow, her face flushed as she whispered, "Don’t come closer."
Lu Zixun looked at Yun Yu with a face full of question marks, puzzled by her reaction.
"You can talk, which means you’ve awakened your Spiritual Wisdom; you might even be able to transform. Why did you deceive me?"
Feeling somewhat speechless, Lu Zixun pursed his lips and replied, "First, I didn’t deceive you; I just didn’t want to talk. Second, you picked me up yourself. I didn’t even get a chance to speak."
After a moment’s thought, Yun Yu nodded, "Seems like it."
"Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person."
Turning, Lu Zixun hopped onto the table and licked his front paw, "Otherwise, with your kind of personality, you would have been sold off by someone already."
"Can you tell me now what that group of people does?"
Seeing that Yun Yu seemed to have calmed down, Lu Zixun continued to ask the previous question.
Yun Yu bit her lip and slowly said, "Many people without clans feel the dense Demon Power above the Demon Country and involuntarily gravitate towards it."
"The Demon Country welcomes these Demon Clan without turning anyone away, arranging residences for them, but they have no awakened Spiritual Wisdom and can only slowly gather Faith Power."
"And those people capture these clanless individuals, awakening their Spiritual Wisdom and transforming them."
Yun Yu, with fear in her eyes, spoke painfully, "Originally thought they were kind-hearted, but they just wanted those capable of transformation to work and earn Power of Faith and then repay them double."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun inhaled sharply; this seemed no different from loan sharking.
Looking up at Yun Yu, his face expressionless, Lu Zixun asked, "You brought me here with that intention?"
"It’s not like that."
Looking earnestly at Lu Zixun, Yun Yu shook her head, "I just didn’t want you to fall into their hands."
Seeing the sincerity in Yun Yu’s eyes, Lu Zixun licked his front paw again and pulled out a communicator.
"Xi Yuan, come over here, I think some people are getting some crooked ideas."
At the sight of the communicator, Yun Yu’s eyes widened, "Are you... are you Lord Xun?"
