Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 15 The White Bird's Illusion

"Oh, thank you for your kindness. If we're not going to fight, we'll be going now."

Li Yang yawned and pulled Ji Cang forward.

Lin Shuo is really funny. The original owner never considered him a rival back then, so where does he get the confidence to call himself a rival now?

But what she's most curious about right now is why this arrogant guy is being called a freak.

Li Yang glanced at Ji Cang and found that his face was still incredibly sour, but his eyes were fixed on the ethereal cat in her arms.

He still has his eye on the ethereal cat?

Li Yang glanced at the fat cat nestled in her arms taking a nap, and without thinking, shoved the ethereal cat into Ji Cang's arms. "Hey, here, have a hug. Can you tell me why they say you're a freak?"

"Meow!??"

The ethereal cat realized it had been moved to a hard nest and stared at Li Yang with wide eyes.

"Ethereal Cat, do you know how big and fat you are? My arms are killing me from holding you for so long!" Li Yang poked its nose in disgust, then looked at Ji Cang, "I'll let you hold the cat, so tell me why?"

Ji Cang tightened his grip, a fleeting look of unease crossing his face.

How did this brat figure out he wanted to hug the ethereal cat? No, how did she know he liked furry things? You know, the day he returned the ethereal cat to this brat, he had nothing to use as a pillow and didn't sleep a wink all night!

Li Yang watched as his expression softened, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

So that's why the arrogant guy likes petting cats. No wonder he looked at her like he wanted to kill her when she got the ethereal cat back.

Noticing that Li Yang had been staring at him for too long, Ji Cang coughed lightly, "I am the youngest son of the late emperor. The late emperor passed away right when I was born, so my birth was considered an omen of misfortune. Later, your father sent several wet nurses to take care of me, but they all died because of my bad luck, so—"

Li Yang nodded in agreement, "Yes, darkness is indeed a bit ominous. And then? Why have I never seen you before?"

“I left Fengyang Kingdom when I was five years old and only returned five days ago.”

"Wow, it's not easy being out there all alone." Li Yang said, looking around. She found that this secret realm was exceptionally quiet, without even the slightest rustling of wind or sound. Time seemed to stand still here.

She frowned and was about to turn around to remind Ji Cang when Ji Cang suddenly pulled her to his side, "Don't go yet, something's not right here."

Just as Li Yang was about to speak, she saw Ji Cang's lips move silently: This is an illusion.

"My Lord Demon King, I sense the presence of the White Bird! You must be careful!"

The white bird must be here to capture Li Yang!

The ethereal cat was somewhat helpless. Didn't she know that doing this would make the Demon King even less willing to be the Demon King?

Suddenly a wind arose, and many saplings sprouted from the ground. In the blink of an eye, these saplings grew taller than the people around them!

"Wow!"

With a sharp bird cry, black dots gathered in their direction from all directions, and at the same time, the ground beneath their feet trembled as something stomped on it.

"What's going on!" Li Yang looked up at the sky. The black dots were now very close to them, and she finally saw what they were!

Giant, strange birds, each with a unique appearance!

Li Yang looked away and then around. What was rushing towards them were many dinosaurs!

Thinking back to the strange birds in the sky, could they be pterosaurs?

Are these white birds really that awesome? They actually created a Jurassic World for them?

While Li Yang was still reeling from the shock, Ji Cang had already assumed a horse stance and started fighting. He yelled at the stunned Li Yang, "Stupid girl, hide behind me, or you'll get caught."

"Oh, oh." Li Yang finally realized what was happening and summoned the Peach Blossom Fan to prepare for battle.

When Ji Cang saw her take out a fan, he was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood. She really treated him like a servant, and at a time like this, she actually had the leisure to fan herself.

Li Yang had never used the peach blossom fan in a fight before, and was just figuring out how to use it when she saw Ji Cang suddenly run towards her and punch her from behind!

Li Yang was stunned, the lingering force of the palm strike still seemed to echo in her ears. She heard Ji Cang panting as he said, "Silly girl, the person behind this is after the Void Spirit Cat. I'll try to finish this quickly. You take the Void Spirit Cat and hide."

Huh? Why are you catching the ethereal cat? Shouldn't it be the white bird that's catching her?

The ethereal cat was shoved into Li Yang's arms and gave an awkward laugh. "Well, he doesn't know that the Demon King has appeared yet. It's normal that he thinks the white bird is going to capture me. This way, we can take advantage of the chaos!"

Li Yang nodded, agreeing that what he said made a lot of sense.

She looked at Ji Cang, who was rushing back into the dinosaur pile, with some worry. Would the arrogant guy be killed by these things?

But the next second she saw Ji Cang grab a dragon by the neck and throw it to the ground!

The ground shook again at that moment, and then he swung the dragon as a weapon and swept through the dragon horde, even knocking down those flying dragons.

What?! Is this arrogant person really that powerful?

The ethereal cat wagged its tail. "Your Majesty, you have no idea. He is the Ghost Lord, the ruler of the Ghost Clan. How could he not be powerful!"

Li Yang was greatly shocked. "Huh? He's not Father Emperor's brother?"

"He must have been reincarnated. His soul is definitely that of a ghost lord, but his body is still human. That's why he loses control every time there's a full moon when yin energy gathers, just like last time."

Li Yang nodded.

In the short time it took to chat, Ji Cang had already killed all the dragons. He stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at a tree not far away.

Li Yang blinked. To be honest, the arrogant guy was actually quite handsome like that.

Ji Cang moved quickly, leaping up and rushing towards the tree. Before Li Yang could react, the white bird was pulled out.

"Cough cough...I..."

The white bird was no longer the bird-faced human she had first seen. Her face was fair and long, and her sharp eyes pierced through Ji Cang to look at Li Yang. Li Yang immediately felt like she was being pricked by thorns.

Ji Cang narrowed his eyes, thinking she was still eyeing the Void Spirit Cat, and coldly warned, "Although I don't like killing demonic beasts, if you're courting death, I don't mind sacrificing a great demon for the demon race!"

"Dispel the illusion now and get out of my sight."

The white bird was thrown to the ground, and with difficulty, it looked up at Ji Cang, "A ghost..."

Before she could finish speaking, she disappeared.

Ji Cang took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. Li Yang, who had followed closely behind, looked at him and said, "You tsundere, what did she just say? She's not going to refuse to lift the illusion, is she?"

Ji Cang lowered his eyes. "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yang suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet become soft. Before she could react, she watched herself fall from mid-air.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Li Yang threw the ethereal cat out, waving her hands wildly in the air, feeling as if she had fanned something away, before finally landing solidly on the ground.

With such a sturdy bottom, Li Yang felt like his tailbone was about to crack.

A disdainful voice came from beside me, "What a stupid girl."

“You…” Li Yang pointed at him angrily, then quickly opened her arms again, “You’re stupid, but can’t you at least give me a hand?”

Ji Cang pulled her up, and Li Yang patted the dirt off her clothes. Suddenly, she heard a muffled buzzing sound coming from not far away.

She looked up at Ji Cang with a blank expression. "What was that sound?"

But then she saw the latter looking angrily behind her, "You stupid girl, did you knock the nest of Purple Spirit Peak flying when you fell down?!"
