Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness
Chapter 489 Appearances are in harmony but minds are separate
The fairy world is long and ten years is just a blink of an eye, but for the demon clan, the advancement of the "Spiritual Era" is a day and night race, with every second counting.
During these ten years, the demon world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Hundreds of spiritual beasts have been carefully selected. Some of them are born on the top of sacred mountains, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth; some hide in the abyss of the deep sea, receiving nourishment from all things.
After layers of screening, these spirit beasts were finally confirmed as host candidates capable of carrying the essence of ancient mythical beasts.
Li Wanji hid them in a secret mobile space and secretly carried out strengthening and adaptive training to ensure that they would be stable and powerful when carrying the essence of the divine beasts.
On the other hand, the land reclamation project in the demon clan's territory has basically reached the final stage. The four continents of East Wasteland, South Ember, West Forest and North Lin have all been replanned, and new cities and villages have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although the human race is constantly making small moves behind the scenes, they maintain relative peace and stability on the surface, developing independently and not invading each other.
Under the leadership of Li Wanji, the demon tribe not only greatly increased its strength, but also made great progress in many aspects, gradually changing its past marginalized image.
During these ten years, Li Wanji, Canglanzi and Jiuluo Nanxing devoted almost all their time to the "Spiritual Era" plan.
Not only did they conduct in-depth research on the "Returning Souls and Guiding Spirits" technique in the "Record of Forbidden Techniques of the Demon Race", they also combined it with the magical power of the All Spirits Returning to Origin Mirror.
To know how to maximize the guidance and integration of the essence of the ancient mythical beast, so that it can coexist perfectly with the host without causing unrest in heaven and earth or backlash.
On this day, Xuanyuan Lang returned from leading the team to open up the East Wilderness and asked Li Wanji to fulfill the marriage contract and take him as her concubine.
Li Wanji knew that they had a gentleman's agreement beforehand. Although she had no romantic feelings for Xuanyuan Lang, due to her promise and the overall situation, she decided to face this request rationally and calmly.
Her face was calm, "Your Highness Xuanyuan, please go back to the Ninth Heaven to get married. Five days later, I will go to the Ninth Heaven in person to welcome you into my demon clan's territory and establish a good relationship between our two clans."
Although he got what he wanted, there was no joy on Xuanyuan Lang's face. He probably knew that Li Wanji agreed to the marriage only as a temporary measure.
Forget it. Xuanyuan Lang didn't intend to marry Li Wanji. He just wanted to find out the flaws of the demon clan and gain more bargaining chips for himself in the future.
He looked at Li Wanji deeply, his eyes were intriguing, then turned around and left on the clouds with the heavenly soldiers and generals accompanying him.
"Wan Ji, you have no intention of this marriage, why don't you just refuse? Such sacrifice may not be a long-term solution." After Xuanyuan Lang and his party left, Canglanzi couldn't help but speak worriedly.
He knew Li Wanji's ambition and determination, and did not want to see her fall into a dilemma because of a temporary need.
Li Wanji smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. He is just another trump card for me to deal with the Heavenly Court. I know my limits and will not let this marriage become a shackle that binds me.
"I have long seen through Xuanyuan Lang's ambitions. I will not let him get what he wants easily. This marriage is both a temporary measure and a subtle arrangement of mine for the Heavenly Court."
Her eyes were deep, as if she had already seen every move in the future chess game.
"The road to the revival of the demon race is destined to be bumpy. This is something Xuanyuan Lang brought to me on his own initiative. I want to see how big a wave he can create on my chessboard."
Upon hearing this, Canglanzi felt a little relieved, but he also admired Li Wanji's foresight even more.
"Wanji. However, this marriage concerns your reputation after all. If it is not handled properly, it may attract criticism."
"Reputation is nothing but floating clouds to me. I, Li Wanji, only want to do things with a clear conscience and with the demon race. As for the criticism, let time prove everything."
The five-day deadline was up in a flash. Li Wanji, wearing a gorgeous demon dress and a phoenix crown inlaid with gems, rode in a gorgeous chariot pulled by fairy beasts, slowly heading towards the Ninth Heaven.
Along the way, fairies spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road, some holding flowers, some waving colorful flags. The scene was quite spectacular.
When the chariot arrived at the South Gate of Heaven, the entire heaven was shaken. Fairy music floated in the air and auspicious clouds swirled around, but beneath this peaceful appearance, undercurrents surged.
Xuanyuan Lang personally greeted them at the South Gate of Heaven. He was wearing a golden dragon robe and a jade crown on his head. He looked heroic and had a faint smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes, hiding some complex and difficult to discern emotions.
He took a few steps forward and stretched out his arm, wanting to help Li Wanji get off the sedan chair, but Li Wanji brushed her sleeve away, politely declining his kindness.
"Your Highness Xuanyuan, it's the etiquette of the demon clan. I can do it on my own." Li Wanji's voice was cold and firm. She stepped down from the sedan chair with an upright posture, as if the whole world was eclipsed by her.
She glanced around. The immortal officials in heaven looked at her with curiosity or awe, but there was no ripple in her heart.
Xuanyuan Lang withdrew his hand, his smile still intact, but a barely perceptible gloom flashed across his eyes, "Wan Ji, you are indeed different. There are probably not many people in this world who can catch your eye."
Li Wanji smiled lightly, with a hint of alienation and indifference in her smile, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Wanji is just a girl from the demon tribe. How can I be different from others?"
Xuanyuan Lang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but then he returned to normal, "Wan Ji is absolutely right. Please follow me, the wedding banquet is ready, and the immortals of all races have been waiting for a long time."
Following Xuanyuan Lang's guidance, Li Wanji stepped into the magnificent banquet hall of heaven.
In the hall, immortal music was melodious, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and various immortals were sitting or standing, with conversations coming one after another.
Li Wanji's arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention. They were either surprised at her beauty or curious about her marriage with Xuanyuan Lang.
However, there was no ripple in Li Wanji's heart. She was like a lone boat sailing in the wind and rain, with a clear goal and not affected by the outside world.
She walked forward slowly, greeting each immortal one by one. Her words were both polite and revealed the majesty and confidence of a demon leader.
The banquet was filled with fine wines and delicious food.
Li Wanji raised her glass and drank with Xuanyuan Lang. Their eyes met in the air, but neither of them could read the other's true thoughts.
The moment when the two glasses of wine intersected seemed to foreshadow a complex and delicate future between the two tribes.
Afterwards, Xuanyuan Lang was welcomed back to Wan Yao Palace by Li Wanji, and was canonized as a concubine. The palace on the north side of Wan Yao Palace was named "Langhua Garden" and given to Xuanyuan Lang as his residence.
Although it was impeccable in terms of etiquette and pomp, it was only done for show in heaven.
Everyone in the demon clan knew that Li Wanji did not favor Xuanyuan Lang, but only regarded him as a chess piece, or a gorgeous golden bird in a cage that she raised.
If he was a real husband, Li Wanji would definitely record his name in the "Li Family Tree" and designate Lingshan as a clan land for the development of her clan.
However, Xuanyuan Lang didn't seem to care about it. He came here with his own plans.
