In this troubled world, I can optimize everything

"What is this black energy?"

Chen Heng found that he still knew too little about this place, and from time to time several new things that he didn't recognize would pop up.

"No one knows what black air is, but it eats away at everyone's minds."

"All great demons above the demon general level can barely resist the erosion of black energy, but they will also become cruel and violent."

"As for the little demons below the demon general..."

A hint of darkness flashed in Empress Hu's eyes.

"Once the little monsters are eroded by the black energy, they will completely lose their minds and turn into crazy monsters who only know how to kill."

"Oh, it turns out you are too good." Chen Heng suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't feel it.

For half a day, Bai Jun, a rookie, just couldn't bear it.

"Okay, I'm a rookie..." Bo Jun didn't have much to say. His mind was indeed corroded by the black energy.

"Well, you go and stay aside for a while, I have something to say."

Chen Heng waved at Bai Jun, and Bai Jun immediately understood.

"Let's go into the house." Chen Heng grabbed Empress Hu's wrist and led her into the room, slamming the door.

"Master Chen, the slave family is still..." Madam Hu suddenly panicked when she saw this. She had just woken up and couldn't stand Chen Heng tossing her anymore.

"You can't think of anything else in your mind." Chen Heng sighed and said helplessly.

"Tell me, how do you, a vixen who lives in a flower house, maintain your virginity until now?"

Chen Heng sat on the red sandalwood stool and looked up at Empress Hu.

"I, I usually use dreaming to absorb yang energy, so I have never touched a man..."

Madam Hu lowered her head and clutched the sheets tightly with her fingers.

"Master Chen, don't worry. What happened yesterday was between you and me. I will never rely on you."

Seeing that Chen Heng didn't speak, Empress Hu hurriedly said.

"I know that a despicable little demon like me is not qualified to sleep in the same bed as you. I am already grateful to be favored by you."

"Okay, stop!" Chen Heng stopped Empress Hu from continuing.

"Tell me your real name first?"

"The slave family has no name. We despicable little monsters are not qualified to have our own names."

Madam Hu lowered her head, her eyes a little evasive.

In fact, Chen Heng did not know that in the eyes of Empress Hu, Chen Heng was that unattainable figure.

It was an honor for her, a little demon without a name, to be taken away by Chen Heng for the first time.

"This place is really rotten..." Chen Heng scratched his head. He is a person who loves soft things but not hard words.

If Empress Hu relied on him like this, Chen Heng would really not care about her and just let her fend for herself.

But in this case, Chen Heng had to really consider Empress Hu's safety.

He would definitely not bring it with him. After all, Chen Heng would not be stupid enough to bring himself an oil bottle.

To return to Qiyang City from the Eastern Demon League, you need to pass through half of the Eastern Demon League and the entire Jade Fan Country. Neither of these places is good.

There will definitely be many dangers involved, and Chen Heng will definitely be fine, just run over them all the way.

Even if Bo Jun is added, it won't be a big problem.

But if he brings Empress Hu, who has no fighting ability except for being cute, then Chen Heng can't guarantee that she can go back alive.

"Forget it, you will be called Hu Ling from now on."

Chen Heng himself was a sucker for naming, so he gave her a random name.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for the name!" Madam Hu, oh no, she should be called Hu Ling now.

When Hu Ling heard that Chen Heng had given herself a name, she immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Chen Heng loudly.

"What are you so excited about?" Chen Heng looked at Hu Ling strangely. Wasn't he just giving him a name?

And the name isn't very nice.

"Master Chen, don't you know the meaning of naming a low-level little demon?"

Hu Ling was also stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at Chen Heng, who was a little confused.

"Is there any explanation for the name?" Chen Heng couldn't figure it out at this time. Why does this place have so many rules?

"Yes, once a powerful big demon gives a name to an inferior little demon, it means that the little demon will belong to that big demon from now on."

"In other words, I am your property from today on."

With that said, Hu Ling pulled away the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her fair and tender shoulders.

"You see, this is your mark."

"?" Chen Heng looked at the black phoenix mark on his originally fair and flawless shoulders and fell into deep thought.

Why is my brand Black Phoenix?

wrong!

I'm not a monster, why can I leave a mark?

Also, what is that brand?

Why is this place so weird?

Hu Ling saw Chen Heng's expression changing one after another, and thought that Chen Heng regretted accepting him as his property.

"Master Chen, if you don't want to, you can kill me directly, that way..."

Hu Ling lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that." Chen Heng rubbed his aching temples.

"Tell me first what this brand does?"

"It has many functions. It mainly depends on how the superior who bestowed the brand is willing to use it."

Hu Ling knelt down on the ground, lowered his head respectfully and said.

"The branded person cannot resist the orders of the superior, and the superior can also share his power with the inferior."

"The superior has complete control over everything of the inferior, including their lives."

"And the most important function of this brand is to show your identity and let other monsters know that you are a monster with a master."

"No demon clan dares to provoke a demon with a master. The weakest demon clan that can leave a mark is the demon master."

"Put those aside for now. Let's talk about sharing power first." Chen Heng's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the brand could have such a convenient function.

If they can really share power, then Chen Heng can just clean up Tianyao City and leave.

Wait until you go back to report that you are safe, then come back and kill the Demon King.

Ah, yes, and destroying those powerful families.

"If you allow me, I can use some of your power."

Although Hu Ling didn't know why Chen Heng was interested in this function, she still answered obediently.

"No more than 30% of your own strength at most. This is the limit of the brand."

This saves trouble. Chen Heng rubbed his chin.

"Okay, from today on, you are my property." Chen Heng stood up, gently pinched Hu Ling's chin, and forced her to look at him.

"I'll move out of the flower building in a moment..."

"By the way, wherever the snake demon master lives, you can just stay with her from now on."

"But you just killed General Tiger yesterday. Will the Snake Demon Lord let me live there?" Hu Ling looked at Chen Heng blankly, clenching his two little hands tightly.

"Moreover, I signed a contract with the owner of this flower house..."

"This is not something you should worry about." Chen Heng let go of Hu Ling's chin.

"Ask your Hualou chef to prepare the ingredients for the snake soup. I'll be back soon to eat it."
