The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 536: Traditions of the Demon Clan

After watching the Minotaur Clan leave, Hai Lingxiang swiftly flew to Ling Feng’s side. She had seen with her own eyes the Demon Emperor, Qiongqi, hand over the demon emperor’s token to Ling Feng, so she was not surprised.

Initially, she had intended to resolve the matter by relying on the power of the Lin Demon Clan, thinking it would also count as doing Ling Feng a favor. However, it now seemed that only the demon emperor's token could pacify that old Minotaur.

The Lin Demon Clan's chief, Hai Yunji, also flew over. She bowed to Ling Feng and said warmly, "I didn’t expect my daughter to be so fortunate to meet the envoy of the Demon Emperor. It is truly an honor for the Lin Demon Clan."

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. "I am not an envoy of the Demon Emperor. It was merely by chance that I received the token. Thank you, chief, for your righteous support earlier."

"Since you have come to our Lin Demon Clan, you are our guest. Naturally, we couldn’t let those Minotaurs have their way, though we didn’t manage to help much in the end," Hai Yunji replied with a smile, her eyes radiating an indescribable charm.

Perhaps this was the natural allure of the Lin Demon Clan, which made beauties from their clan so beloved by others.

In fact, it was not only the demon race. Even humans hunted Lin Demon Clan beauties to auction off to some perverse human experts..

"Not at all. It’s I who have troubled your noble clan."

Ling Feng put away the demon emperor's token, deciding not to mention the matter of the Demon Ruler’s tomb for now and to play it by ear.

"Compared to the demons of Heavenly Demon City, you seem particularly humble and courteous," Hai Yunji remarked with a laugh, showing none of the intimidating demeanor she had displayed earlier with the Minotaurs. Instead, she now resembled a young maiden, her smile brimming with countless charms.

"It might be because I’ve been in the human realm for many years, thus picking up some human traits," Ling Feng explained with a smile.

"I see." Hai Yunji nodded slightly, thinking the matter might involve secrets of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan, so she refrained from asking further and simply smiled. "The disturbance caused by that old minotaur has damaged our Lin Demon Palace considerably and disrupted the welcome banquet. I apologize, Long Fei."

"You’re too kind, chief."

Hai Yunji smiled sweetly. "I still have some racial matters to attend to, so I must take my leave. Lingxiang, please take good care of Long Fei on my behalf."

"Mhmm," Hai Lingxiang nodded repeatedly.

"Long Fei, please stay with our clan and feel at home."

Hai Yunji smiled faintly and then left quickly with several elders, as the Lin Demon Clan had suffered significant damage from the Minotaurs and needed her presence to stabilize the situation.

"Lord Long Fei, please follow me."

Hai Lingxiang smiled at Ling Feng. "It seems those Minotaurs won’t dare trouble you anymore."

Ling Feng sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of guilt for deceiving Hai Lingxiang, who had been so devoted to him these past days.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng followed Hai Lingxiang quickly while smiling lightly. "Thank you, Hai Lingxiang."

"Thank me for what?" Hai Lingxiang looked at Ling Feng with a puzzled expression. "Sometimes I really wonder if you’re human. We demons aren’t usually this polite."

"Uh..." Ling Feng rubbed his nose, feeling flustered.

"Pfft," Hai Lingxiang laughed softly. "Just kidding!"

Ling Feng secretly wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead, realizing he needed to behave a bit more wild and rough in the future.

...

Hai Lingxiang did not take Ling Feng back to his residence but instead led him to another picturesque location.

Along the way, there were numerous pavilions and buildings, with the architecture bearing a distinct resemblance to human structures.

As they walked, Ling Feng noticed countless beautiful Lin Demon Clan maidens, each one looking at him with shy smiles, making him feel like he had stepped into a kingdom of women.

Soon, Hai Lingxiang brought Ling Feng to a small, flower-adorned cottage. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, and the interior decorations resembled those of a human maiden's boudoir.

"Where is this?"

Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, sensing the ambiguous atmosphere in the air as his throat became slightly dry.

"This is my Hundred Flower Pavilion," Hai Lingxiang said, biting her red lips. "Mother told me to take good care of you."

"Pfft..." Ling Feng nearly choked on his own saliva. It can't be that kind of care, can it?

"Cough..." Ling Feng coughed awkwardly while forcing a smile. "Well, um..."

Seeing Ling Feng's uncomfortable expression, Hai Lingxiang frowned slightly. "Don't you like human-style architecture? Do you prefer living in caves?"

As she spoke, Hai Lingxiang nodded to herself. "Yes, yes, you’ve spent a lot of time among humans. Now that you're back in the demon domain, you must want to return to the ways of the demon race."

"No, no!" Ling Feng waved his hands quickly. He wouldn't sleep in a cave when there was a bed available.

"It’s just..." Ling Feng smiled wryly. "Princess Lingxiang, you’re not planning to have me stay here, are you?"

"Of course not," Hai Lingxiang blushed. "I meant for you to stay in the room next to mine."

"Oh, I see..." Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief, but then Hai Lingxiang leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "But if you want to stay in my room, that’s... also fine!"

"..."

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched. Are the demon race women really this straightforward?

Hai Lingxiang bit her bottom lip, perhaps feeling her words were too direct. She then cleared her throat and said, "Lord Long Fei, did you like the sisters of our Lin Demon Clan we saw along the way?"

"Uh... yes, I did." Ling Feng smiled. "They’re all beautiful in their own ways."

"I'm glad you liked them," Hai Lingxiang giggled. "Actually, for a demon who has transformed as thoroughly as you have, your bloodline must be very pure. You should know about our demon race’s traditions, right?"

"Traditions?" Ling Feng was puzzled. "What traditions?"

Hai Lingxiang’s cheeks flushed as she replied somewhat resentfully, "Stop pretending!"

"I really don’t know." Ling Feng was confused. What is this woman implying? First, she brought me to her boudoir, and now she is asking about the Lin Demon Clan maidens.

Can it really be...

"Right, I forgot you're not from Heavenly Demon City." Hai Lingxiang sighed, casting Ling Feng a resentful glance. "But this is just a natural instinct of the demon race."

"Cough..." Ling Feng felt a bad premonition rising. Awkwardly, he said, "Princess Lingxiang, I—"

"Lord Long Fei, let’s mate!"

Hai Lingxiang hesitated for a moment before speaking bluntly.

"Pfft!" Ling Feng nearly turned to stone. Mate...

"You should understand that interbreeding between powerful bloodlines can produce even stronger offspring. Lord Long Fei, the bloodline of your Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan is one of the most superior royal bloodlines among the demon race."

Hai Lingxiang bit her lip, continuing, "And... I-I kind of like you."

"I..." Ling Feng began to sweat. He wasn’t even a demon!

"Lord Long Fei, I know my bloodline isn’t as noble as yours, but don’t worry. As long as you’re willing to mate with me, not only I but all the beauties of the Lin Demon Clan will be at your disposal from now on."

Hai Lingxiang gritted her teeth, her expression serious. She truly wanted to leave the Lin Demon Clan with a descendant who had the bloodline of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao.
