“Fatty"s const.i.tution is special and he happens to be a Five Elemental Mixed Spirit Root, all sorts of pills, talismans, arrays and weapons would be simpler than sword techniques to him, but also because of the same reason, sword techniques have become his only weakness.” Yi Qing said in a low voice, “If Father Niu can tell, then Fatty"s enemies definitely can too. Besides, he is completely clueless with regards to sword techniques right now, he can"t even ride a sword, this probably has to do with his const.i.tution as well, so even if he masters other spells, don"t mention sword cultivators, even if he meets cultivators well versed in sword techniques, he"d probably…”

“Be defeated in a second?” Shen Ying finished the sentence.

“Yes.” Yi Qing nodded, then put several more plates of pastries on the table before continuing to say, “So, Father Niu"s aim in urging Fatty to learn sword techniques isn"t to improve his cultivation but to get him familiarized with sword movements as soon as possible, such that he would know how to cope when he encounters sword cultivators in the future.”

“Oh…” I see!

“Besides, the earlier he practices sword techniques the better, even if he isn"t able to understand sword intent immediately, it"s still a good thing to build his body"s natural reaction. If he were to learn other forms of cultivation and becomes used to other methods of offense, it would be very difficult to change again.” This was also why sword cultivators are always stronger than other cultivators.

“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded. “Simply put, the difference is that sword cultivators are close-ranged burst mages while other cultivators are long-ranged mages? Mm, I understand!”

“…” No, now I"m the one who doesn"t understand Master.

“But are you sure that it"s not because Fatty is expending too many flying swords that Father Niu is intentionally making him learn this?”

“…” That seems to make sense too.

“Sigh, Father Niu indeed treats Fatty differently! Chef, we"re about to become orphans, what do we do? Wa wa wa…”

“Um…”

What to do? Father Niu wasn"t around, was he still supposed to cooperate with Master and put on a show? It"s so difficult being a boyfriend!

Under Father Niu"s violent oppression, Fatty finally pa.s.sed the first level"s test of sword arrays and successfully made it to the second level. Lonemoon"s expression that was growing colder by the day finally softened a little. Then he doubled the intensity of Fatty"s daily training without hesitation, of course, there was also Rabbit.

Fatty was in utter despair and despondency. He suddenly felt that those days where he"d just started with grain abstinence were the truly wonderful times, pity it was fleeting. Despair was written all over Fatty"s face but before he could plunge into a new cycle of h.e.l.l, something big happened at the Demon Monarch Palace.

“Demon Monarch of the Western Forest?” Lonemoon gave a glance to Rabbit who was smiling bitterly on the ground. “What demon of the Western Forest? Aren"t you the Demon Monarch?” Was there someone who"d dared to usurp the throne?

“No, no…” Rabbit shook her head hard. “I"m only the Demon Monarch of the Northern Forest, here at the northern-most area, I manage the area by the ten of thousands of miles near the Spirit River, the land of the Southern Region is vast, it is not only ruled by me alone.”

“This also means that the territories here have yet to be unified?” Lonemoon frowned.

“You c… can say that.” Rabbit shrunk her eyes back weakly.

“How many Demon Monarchs are there in the entire Southern Region?” Back then he"d only thought of looking for a quiet place to settle and did not find out more about these matters. Rabbit was also rather sensible, she usually doesn"t bother him with matters on the demons. On top of that, there was Fatty, the one with no fate with sword techniques, he wasn"t able to give any attention for anything else at all.

“There are a total of seven Demon Monarchs.” Rabbit replied truthfully, “Tiger Monarch and Bear Monarch of the Southern Forest, Panther Monarch and Lion Monarch of the Western Forest, the mermen clan off the Eastern coasts and the Feather Tribe in the North, together with the Wolf Monarch from the past. The Demon Monarchs of the Western Forest this time, is referring to Panther Monarch and Lion Monarch.”

“They"re trying to s.n.a.t.c.h your territory?”

“Yes…” I want to cry.

“Then just fight!” Lonemoon replied, they were all Demon Monarchs, and it wasn"t a solo battle, the capabilities of each side should be rather strong, at the most, he"ll leave it to Chef to lead them.

“No… we can"t, Great Immortal!”

“Why?”

“Great Immortal, have you forgotten?” Rabbit bowed her head in grievance, her voice even weaker. “Our northern side used to be the strongest amongst the seven clans, but… but sometime ago, Great Immortal captured the high level demon beasts of the northern forests and… now there aren"t many high level demons left in the northern side.” So if they really were to battle, the north was the weakest, the west had also approached directly after hearing about this.

Lonemoon"s mouth twitched, he"d almost forgot about that, seems like all the formidable demons on this side have been put into Chef"s pot. Had he made Rabbit a lone, helpless ruler all this time?

“Cough, um…” He coughed. “What"s the situation there now?”

“Panther Monarch and Lion Monarch have already arrived at the borders of the northern forest with the clans under them, I reckon that in less than a day, they would be able to push to the Demon Palace.”

“Let"s go, I"ll go take a look!” Lonemoon stood up, intending to accompany Rabbit to go have a look, but spotted Fatty who was practicing his sword at a side and twisted his foot as he stopped too quickly. His expression darkened at once as anger shot through him and he changed his mind immediately.

“Fatty, come along too!”

“Huh?” Fatty was baffled, where to?

“What huh? After practicing for so long, you"ve got to test out your skills in a real battle.” With that, he turned to glare at the idle duo by the table. “And the both of you wastrels, come along!”

Wastrel Ying: “…”

Wastrel Qing: “…”

What?

Was Father Niu"s teaching rage beginning to attack indiscriminately?

The group of five then began to fly towards the Northern Forest and saw a sea of black from afar, on a rough count, there were at least a few thousand demons, everyone of them looked murderous, and their cultivation levels did not seem low, there were even several tenth-stage demons at the front.

Their leaders were indeed two twelfth level demons, a panther demon and a lion demon. They were about to combine forces and break the entrance array formation of the Northern Forest.

On the contrary, on the Northern Forest"s side, there wasn"t a single demon to go into battle, the few that appeared occasionally were busy running for their lives, making it seem especially barren. No wonder Rabbit said they won"t be able to win, in such a situation, don"t mention gathering a demon army, even finding a few demons who could fight was a tough task.

Just as the Northern Forest"s array formation was about to be broken, Lonemoon flew downwards, a line of burdens in tow and landed right in front of the two demon monarchs. There was of course, no technical skill in the array formations of the demon realm, it was already wonderful that the array formation could hold up for five minutes.”

Seeing the few people that appeared suddenly, the two demon monarchs paused in their actions. Sweeping a glance across them, their vision stopped on the only rabbit demon at the side and cackled at once. “HAHAHA… you"re the rabbit demon that ascended to the throne of the demon monarch? Merely an eight-level rabbit and you dare to call yourself a monarch!”

Rabbit wanted to retreat instinctively but forcefully held herself back. “Lion Monarch, Panther Monarch, why are you intruding into my Northern Forest for no reason?!”

“Why?” Panther Monarch chuckled. “I think you"ve become foolish from eating too much gra.s.s? Wolf Monarch, that fellow, occupied such a good location in the Northern Forest, just because he had many wolf pups, now that he"s dead, this land is naturally mine! You"re merely a small rabbit demon, you actually dare to take advantage of the situation and declare yourself a monarch. If you know your place, get out of the Demon Palace right now. Otherwise…” He suddenly revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth grinningly. “We"ll eat you!”

“…” She eats carrots.
