From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 198 The Pig Demon in the Teahouse Next Door

Chaoju City is located in the center of Chaoju Island, with the inner city and outer city separated by a river. Most of the Mu clan, the owners of Chaoju Island, live in the inner city.

Yu Mu's noodle shop was not opened in the outer city. Instead, Li Zhen's fiancée asked Elder Mu to buy a two-story restaurant in the inner city's market.

Chaoju City is unexpectedly large. Mu family connected their own paradise with the earth veins of Chaoju Island to form a semi-open-air cave.

There are hundreds of thousands of monsters in the outer city alone, including many half-demons, which Yu Shuyang had never encountered before. They are hybrids of humans and seventh-grade monsters.

These humans are different from the people in the inland of Kyushu. They marry monsters that have transformed into humans, and the children they give birth to still retain half monster blood.

Over time, a new kind of demon race gradually emerged - half-demons. They were like monsters that were not completely transformed into humans, with animal heads and tails and human bodies.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen came into the city together. Today, Yu Mu's noodle shop opened, so Yu's father stopped working in the ink shop and brought his shrimp soldiers to help.

In order to find him to go to the ceremony together, Li Zhen searched for him in Yatou Mountain for most of the day. Fortunately, he was thinking of watering the Qianzhang Cliff with spiritual water, otherwise he would have missed the opening ceremony of the noodle shop.

"There are so many old half-demons, aren't they?" At first, Yu Shuyang thought that they were all demon cultivators of the seventh rank or above.

"Cousin, this is already a small number. There are millions of half-demons in Changyuan City and Chongjia City among the eight cities. You will know how powerful they are once you see them." Li Zhen said indifferently.

Because half-demons are mixed with humans, they can give birth to a baby every year. They are born with intelligence, which is much faster than breeding monsters.

Ever since the fox demon from Qingqiu created the Fox Kingdom of half-human, half-fox creatures, the five islands and eight cities of Kuhai Cliff Island have also begun to cultivate half-demons.

"What should we do with the cultivation method of this half-human, half-demon? Is the bloodline inheritance still stable?" Yu Shuyang couldn't help but ask as he looked at the thin demonic aura of the half-demon.

Li Zhen smiled but said nothing. He just pulled Yu Shuyang towards the inner city and whispered, "Cousin, this is not the place to talk. I'll tell you later."

They walked along the main road to the inner city, and part of the way passed through the outer city. What Yu Shuyang saw was just the tip of the iceberg of the half-demons in the outer city.

The main road outside the city is not very long. It takes about quarter of an hour to reach the river dividing the inner and outer cities. There is no bridge over the water, and the entrance to the paradise is blocked, so it is impossible to fly across the river from the air.

Fortunately, there are many water turtles in the Boundary River that specialize in carrying people across the river. If you want to enter the city, you have to pay a toll first, which is not much, about ten talisman coins.

Li Zhen helped to deliver the monsters together. They all stood on the back of a water turtle as big as a wooden basin and let the turtle carry them across the river. There were not many monsters entering or leaving the city, and there were few monsters on the river.

After crossing the boundary river, even if you enter Chaoju City, you have also entered the Mu family's paradise, where you can see many characteristics of the Mu Ke clan.

The city walls, residential houses, or all large buildings in the city were planted using the secret technique of building planting. It can be said that the entire Chaoju City is made up of a huge forest of building planting.

"Cousin, now that we are here, everything is fine and we can talk freely. The place we just passed by can only be regarded as the safest place in the outer city.

Half-demons are what the eight demon cities have been promoting in recent years. They are different from the demons fleeing in the Nine Layers of Inland. Li Zhen came over and said.

Yu Shuyang frowned when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt Li Zhen and continued to listen patiently.

"Wild demon cultivators and demon immortal families are actually the same. Wild demons who have successfully cultivated and broken through to the fifth level can also open up a blessed land and establish a demon immortal family.

Those half-demons are different. They are half human and half-demon. Apart from the animal head and tail they are born with, they are basically no different from humans.

There are very few bloodline inheritances in the bloodline, and there is no way to break through the fifth level. Currently, among all the half-demons in the five islands and eight cities, there is not a single half-demon fairy.

They are more like vassal servants, just like the three major servant tribes in the Dragon Palace: shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and clam girls. Half-demons are the servant tribes cultivated by the Demon City.

This matter is not a secret at all. All the demon and fairy families on the five islands know about it, but there is nothing they can do because they are too short of manpower.

Most of the wild monsters that escaped from the inland of Kyushu are cunning and restless, especially those who have opportunities. Once they break through to the fifth level, they will take revenge on their former masters.

However, half-demons have not yet been developed. Although overseas humans and monsters can give birth to half-demons, they still have human blood. From time to time, there will be blood conflicts, and they will explode and die directly.

Furthermore, it is still uncertain whether a half-demon can cultivate into a demon fairy. Everyone means that it is best not to break through to the demon fairy level.

This way, the five islands of Yazhou will have their own demon servant clan, and the demon immortal families and demon cities will be able to solve their manpower problems." Li Zhen explained in detail.

Yu Shuyang listened carefully. He really didn't expect that the demon tribe in the East China Sea was doing such a big thing. This was not about cultivating a tribe of servants in the demon city, but clearly about cultivating a tribe of demon humans.

The world of the East has always had three lists coexisting, with humans, demon cultivators, and Shinto coexisting with each other without any opposition or contradiction.

The demon race has demon fairy families, and the human race has fairy families. They are not limited to bloodline race, and they all belong to the category of "fairy clan".

At present, the Demon City has been breeding half-demons through the continuous intermarriage between inferior overseas races and the demon clan, and they are a branch of the human race.

In Yu Shuyang's previous life, the Fuli world, the human race dominated the world, and monsters, ghosts, gods, and spirits could only integrate into the human race, gradually forming the so-called "aliens".

When he saw the half-demon, he subconsciously felt something was wrong. After listening to Li Zhen's explanation, he was basically certain that it was a half-demon among the alien species.

This type of alien species cannot cultivate to become immortals because their human bloodlines conflict with those of demons. To successfully cultivate to immortality, they must consume demon blood elixirs to suppress their human bloodlines. Therefore, demons and monsters are natural enemies. Killing demons to obtain elixirs is their idea. They keep demons captive to allow them to practice inner alchemy, eliminating the need to use demon blood to refine elixirs.

Yu Shuyang didn't say much. After all, if this matter developed to this point, it would take an unknown amount of time.

Besides, there is the Bai Ze Atlas. There are people whose bloodlines return to their ancestral lineage at any time, and there are a lot of demon fairies of the top three grades.

If the monsters want to recreate the splendor of the Fuli world, at the very least, the human race must defeat and cripple the monsters, and the remaining monsters will be left to the monsters to slowly drain.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you? You look worried?" Li Zhen asked in confusion. He had just finished explaining about half-demons when he saw his cousin's face turned ugly and gloomy.

Yu Shuyang smiled when he heard this and rubbed his face with his hands. He was thinking too much at the moment, and his face looked gloomy and scared Li Zhen.

"It's okay. I just thought of a sentence from the scriptures, which says: Everything that goes to extremes must decline, and everything that goes to extremes must turn around.

Right now, the Demon City is about to prosper because of the servants and half-demons. It's foreseeable that it will not fall into oblivion in the future because of this, right? "

Li Zhen was a little puzzled after hearing this. In order to pass the Taoist examination, he had memorized the five major classics with Li Taiping before. However, he was just memorizing them without understanding them in depth.

"Cousin, do you think half-demons will become a disaster in the future?" Li Zhen asked.

Yu Shuyang shook his head and said nothing, preparing to move forward. This place was not far from Yu Mu's noodle shop, and he had already seen the sign.

"Excuse me, young man. I see that you speak with great learning, not like an ordinary monster. Why don't you come to my shop and have a seat? How about I treat you to a cup of tea?"

The one who was speaking was a white-thorned pig demon. This pig demon was a bit similar to a half-demon, with a human body and a pig face, and white thorns as long as a finger growing from the hair to the tailbone.

"Ban Zhangxian, let's come back another day. My aunt's store opened today and I have to go to the store to congratulate her. I was delayed on the way here."

Li Zhen hurried forward to smooth things over, made up an excuse, and took his cousin away.

After arriving at the noodle shop, he patted his chest, looked around and said, "Cousin, that guy just now was Ban Zhangxian, a cannibal and human flesh seller. Next time you see him, stay away."

Yu Shuyang was also quite surprised when he heard the latter sentence. The demon clan has always had the rule of not eating their own kind. For example, bull demons will not eat beef.

Similarly, cannibalism is also a major taboo. Not only is it tabooed by humans, it will also bring about hatred and revenge from humans. When a killing spree occurs, it will definitely be on the list of people who commit it.

"How is that possible? Eating one's own kind for too long will lead to losing one's mind. Besides, there are only monsters overseas. How can human flesh be easily sold?"

Yu Shuyang was completely baffled. How could such a rebellious person exist? Wasn't he afraid of being the first to be killed by the combined forces?
"The method he practices is different. It is said that he practices the way of ruthlessness and is not afraid of the backlash of cannibalism. Didn't you see the white thorns on him from head to toe just now?

Besides, the eight demon cities are in great need of people now. Some ignorant demons would even buy human flesh to eat the first time they see it for sale."

Li Zhen couldn't help but say a few words of anger. This Ban Zhangxian was not only arrogant, but also caused some trouble for Yu Mu.

His shop was a snack shop that also sold noodles and human flesh for tasting, and it had taken over the business of several surrounding shops.

The previous owner of Yumu store was forced out by him, which shows his competitive tactics.

Li Zhen had come here earlier with Yu Mu. Seeing that several shops were empty, he specially asked his fiancée Mu Lingge about it.

"Then, has he become an immortal?" Yu Shuyang could feel Li Zhen's anger. Thinking of the rules of the East China Sea, all demons and immortals were respectfully called immortals, or called something like immortals, such as the Fire Duck Immortal, the Book Immortal, and the Water Monkey.

"Not really, but I heard it's not far away. Fifty years ago, he was already in the late sixth grade, but he never broke through to the fifth grade." Li Zhen laughed at the end of his speech.

Ban Zhangxian suffered backlash for eating his own kind, and white thorns grew from head to tail. He also sold and ate human flesh. This kind of monster would probably be struck into ashes alive when it went through the thunder tribulation.

When the two of them arrived at the store, it was not convenient for them to chat all the time, so they helped with the work. The new store was very busy in the first three days after it opened, and Yaocheng also helped to invite people to the store. This was the rule of the inner city.

In order to get business for these three days, Yu Mu has been preparing for more than half a month. The spiritual rice and spiritual noodles are all ready, as well as the corresponding spiritual vegetables and seasonings.

There are hundreds of tables on the two floors upstairs and downstairs. Customers started coming in as soon as the door opened. Most of them are members of the Mu family, as well as apprentices and master chefs from the inner city workshops.

The eight large pots in the kitchen were working non-stop, producing seventy to eighty bowls of their signature fish noodle soup at a time. Fathead fish was watching the Wuzhi steamed fish in the steamer while cooking the clear soup noodles.

The four waiters were all helping out in the kitchen, some were scooping noodles into bowls, some were serving toppings to the clear soup noodles, and some were serving fish noodles with sour soup toppings.

Father Yu is in charge of the first floor, Uncle Mo is in charge of the second floor, and the ten shrimp soldiers are divided into two groups to help serve the dishes. Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen also help.

The three students all came to work part-time as waiters.
