Protect Our Clan Leader

...

Facing the astonished gaze of the Nine Yin Demon Envoy, Wang Shouzhe's expression became even more complex.

All this trouble was caused by that troublesome girl, Wang Lixian.

Oh, wait, this account needs to be settled starting with that dead girl Wang Lilong. If it weren't for her starting with a "good" example by bringing back a Moon Rabbit as a "mistress," there wouldn't have been so many troublesome things thereafter.

"Fa-Family Head." Seeing Wang Shouzhe look over, the Nine Yin Demon Envoy was in a panic, quickly trembling and retreating, "It's all my fault; I'll leave now, I'll leave now."

Her manner really resembled that of a poor concubine caught in the male master's secret, trembling in fear, worried about being silenced.

"Stop!" Wang Shouzhe said grimly, "Things aren't as you see them. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

The Nine Yin Demon Envoy was scared, her face turning pale, and nodded repeatedly.

"..." Upon seeing her attitude, Wang Shouzhe knew she was trying to brush him off but was too tired to explain further. He waved his hand and said, "If you're idle, go serve King Chaoyang and the others in their card games."

"I obey."

Like receiving a grand reprieve, the Nine Yin Demon Envoy swiftly retreated.

Seeing her act like this, Wang Shouzhe could only shake his head and sigh.

Wang Lixian capturing this Nine Yin Demon Envoy has indeed brought quite some trouble.

Had they released her immediately on Muzhen Continent, it would've been fine, but she was brought back to the Wang family, and naturally gained some understanding of the Wang family, making the situation awkward.

Releasing her feels like letting a tiger back to the mountain.

Not releasing her means keeping a hidden danger by their side.

Luckily, after Liu Ruolan's training, this Nine Yin Demon Envoy greatly feared them as a couple, especially after Ruolan forced her to swallow a [Nine Nether Soul Devouring Worm], the Nine Yin Demon Envoy became extremely obedient.

Nine Nether Soul Devouring Worm?

Wang Shouzhe had heard of this rare evil soul-infesting worm, said to lurk deep in the divine soul once it parasitizes, and can be activated with a thought from the master, causing the parasite unbearable pain, and dying as their soul is devoured.

But Wang Shouzhe had lived nearly 200 years without witnessing such a worm.

Liu Ruolan's [Nine Nether Soul Devouring Worm] was, of course, not a genuine one, but a "fake" commissioned by Luo Jing.

Luo Jing really was skillful, creating a fake worm so lifelike, that once parasitized, it gives one the threatening feeling of a foreign entity lurking within the soul; yet, in actual capability it poses no threat to a Cultivator of the Divine Power Territory. If the Nine Yin Demon Envoy were to venture testing it a bit, its falseness would be revealed.

However, having witnessed many inexplicable methods and actual scenarios from the Wang family, the Nine Yin Demon Envoy didn't dare gamble, even entirely believing in the existence of the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Worm.

This was why.

Liu Ruolan was reassured to let the Nine Yin Demon Envoy follow Wang Shouzhe around as a servant.

Wang Shouzhe's activities in the Demonic Country, having such a master of demonic arts as a maid accompany him, both disguised his identity, and avoided slipping up over some inexplicable details, thereby increasing difficulties.

There are huge differences in ideology and customs between the Immortal-Demon Dynasties; despite Wang Shouzhe's caution, it was impossible for him to cover every aspect completely. Especially those seemingly trivial little details were the ones most likely to reveal flaws, only a demonic cultivator living within the Demon Dynasty Territory knew best.

After sending the Nine Yin Demon Envoy away, Wang Shouzhe turned his attention to the two Level Nine Dragon Whale Sisters, politely bowing, "Sisters Dragon Whale, don't misunderstand Shouzhe. Whatever nonsense that rascal Kunfish said, just ignore it."

"Old Master!" Dragon Whale Sister A was instead flustered, "Please don't be so polite with us, if Queen Jingjing finds out, she will surely punish us."

"Yes, yes." Dragon Whale Sister B also lowered her head, looking embarrassed, "You are the father of Young Master Zongkun, which means you are the Great Old Master to us, it is only right for us to serve you."

No need, no need~ Wang Shouzhe couldn't bear such overwhelming luck.

Head aching terribly, he hurriedly gestured to change the subject, "Where did that bastard's rubber strap come from? The one fastened to his sunglasses, elastic enough."

"Are you referring to the Monkey Skin Band?" Dragon Whale Sister A realized, "That's a knick-knack we bought at random while playing in person shape in Zhao Country. Young Master Zongkun's head is large, and he changes sizes often, so using this keeps the sunglasses from falling easily."

"The things from Mozhao Country?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, somewhat unexpectedly.

But upon closer thought, it made sense. Geographically, from the map, Mozhao Country is slightly south of the equator, most of its territory is subtropical and temperate.

In such an environment, the emergence of rubber-tree-like species is reasonable.

All these years, Wang Shouzhe had always had people on the lookout, yet hadn't found petroleum, nor plants similar to rubber trees, often feeling inconvenienced.

Especially rubber, its uses are vast, from tires to sealing materials, even some daily necessities rely heavily on it.

Purple Crystal Insect Glue's performance can only be said to be similar, but in many professional fields it falls short compared to rubber, plus its cost makes mass production of tires unrealistic.
