Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

And today is that auspicious day!

Martial Alliance Headquarters.

After several months of renovation, the Dao Alliance's stronghold has undergone a complete transformation.

Large swathes of buildings were demolished and renovated.

With the help of a large number of cultivators and martial artists, what would have been an impossible feat for ordinary people was finally completed in a short period of time.

Looking out over this majestic mountain peak...

A grand and imposing palace stands atop the mountain.

White clouds floated around.

Bright sunlight fell on the buildings, making the glazed roofs gleam.

Carved beams and painted rafters, walls made of jade.

The entire palace was resplendent in gold and jade, and every brick and tile exuded solemnity and majesty.

In front of the main hall in the very center, several huge red pillars stand tall.

Each pillar is carved with a lifelike, coiling golden dragon, making it exceptionally magnificent.

Inside the grand hall, warm white jade was laid on the floor, and the hall was magnificent, with every corner revealing the unique taste of craftsmanship.

Especially the black and gold dragon throne at the head of the table.

High above.

It gives people an air of dominance over the world.

It's no exaggeration to say that building this palace practically emptied out all the wealth stored up by those aristocratic families.

You have to understand, that's the accumulation of thousands of years.

Although Lin Yu didn't really care about these things, Feng Qi still insisted on doing so.

In her words, only a palace like this could truly be worthy of him, and she was determined to build him a palace that no one could compare to.

Since Feng Qi had already said so, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't refuse anymore and just let her go.

However, upon seeing the finished product, Lin Yu couldn't help but admit that Feng Qi was right.

Even if it means draining the resources of those aristocratic families, it would still be worthwhile.

The palace, usually quiet and deserted, was unusually lively today.

A large number of servants and palace maids were constantly busy coming and going.

The entire palace was decorated with festive cheer. Today was the day Lin Yu ascended the throne, and a banquet was to be held for the demon kingdoms from all directions. There could be no mishaps.

In the bedroom.

Lin Yu looked at Feng Qi beside him, who was directing several maids to busy adjusting her clothes, and felt somewhat helpless.

"Isn't that a bit much?"

"I haven't seen anyone like this, whether it's Huan Du Qingtian, Shi Kuan, or anyone else."

"That won't do. Today is your coronation day. You can't be as unconventional as Huan Du Qingtian, can you?"

Feng Qi stepped forward, straightened Lin Yu's black and gold dragon robe, stepped back a few paces, nodded with satisfaction, her eyes full of admiration and affection.

"Where are the other demon kingdoms?"

"We've already set off, and if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be there soon."

"You'll be able to see your beloved little fox spirit soon, how about that, aren't you excited?"

Feng Qi quietly leaned close to her ear, her eyes full of teasing.

Chapter 154 Ascending the Throne, the Arrival of Peace Between Humans and Demons

The Imperial Palace of the Wu Dynasty.

Figures appeared in the sky from afar.

These were all people sent by the four great demon kingdoms to attend Lin Yu's coronation ceremony.

Among them are many high-ranking and powerful individuals.

Such as Shi Kuan, the Demon Emperor of Beishan, the royal family of Tushan, and the royal family of the Western Regions.

As one group after another arrived, the once empty sky became lively, creating a beautiful scene reminiscent of a grand procession of nations paying tribute.

No one dares to disobey an order.

Sitting on the throne, quietly watching all this, Lin Yu suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit.

The setbacks I encountered with the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom and the Bitter Love Giant Tree seem insignificant now.

"The royal family of the Western Regions has arrived to congratulate the Martial Emperor on his ascension to the throne, and presents a naturally formed spiritual treasure: the Demon King's inner core."

"The Demon Emperor of Northern Mountain"

As the names of the attendees were announced, the once empty hall gradually filled with the presence of various figures.

Soon, Lin Yu heard the name of the Tu Shan royal family.

However, unlike the previous Western Regions, Northern Mountains, and Southern Kingdoms, the others were generally informed of what gifts were to be presented.

It took about a minute.

Tushan was different; the various tributes offered by the people who called out their names alone took at least ten minutes.

The expressions on the faces of the people in the hall changed from calm at the beginning, to surprise, and finally to shock.

The changes are so clear that they are quite obvious.

So much so that, apart from Shi Kuan.

The expressions on the faces of the other visitors from the Western Regions and the Southern Kingdoms became somewhat awkward.

With the example of Tushan, it's hard not to wonder if they gave too few gifts.

If this displeases Lin Yu and causes him any repercussions or trouble...

The Sand Fox King, who had already taken his seat, twitched the beard that covered his face, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, it seems the previous rumor was true."

Xiao Yu, who was serving the Sand Fox King, blinked and whispered to the Sand Fox King.

The Sand Fox King's lips twitched, his expression somewhat mournful.

"Sigh, I should have had a daughter back then. Sons are completely useless; they can't even find a wife."

"Xiaoyu, why don't you give it a try and see if you can get in touch with the Martial Emperor?"

"The people of Tushan are fox demons, and so are we from the Western Regions. We are all fox demons."

"Me? No, no, I still have to serve His Majesty, I can't."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately shook her head frantically, refusing repeatedly. She was secretly in love with Fan Yunfei, so how could she possibly do such a thing?

The Sand Fox King sighed, his expression melancholy.

While on the throne, Lin Yu's powerful mental energy ensured that no movement in the entire hall could escape his perception.

The same applies to their conversation.

Listening to the conversation between these two amused individuals, Lin Yu suppressed a laugh.

Just like in the original story, the Sand Fox King is not only unpretentious but also quite interesting.

Just then, Feng Qi's voice, tinged with anger at his lack of ambition, came through.

"That little vixen is really siding with outsiders. Now she's probably going to empty the entire Tushan treasure trove for your sake."

"How come I never realized before that this guy was love-struck!"

As the former ruler of Tushan, Fengqi, who had high hopes for Tushan Honghong, was quite annoyed after hearing the ten-minute-long ceremony.

Although she and Lin Yu are now basically family, all these things have ended up in her pocket.

Just thinking about Tu Shan Hong Hong's actions made Feng Qi feel somewhat depressed.

There are many things here that she painstakingly saved up over the years, all for the development of Tushan.

Now, Tu Shan Hong Hong has done something quite different, simply handing them all over.

If the situation allowed, Feng Qi would have liked to go over and scold her for being such a spendthrift.

Is it possible that Honghong thinks what's hers is mine, and what's mine is hers?

Lin Yu's face remained expressionless, calm and dignified, but he was actually subtly teasing Feng Qi as he spoke through telepathy.

"So, you're already giving me all the dowry before we're even officially married?"

"If we get married after that, no, I'm just using an example, don't overthink it!"

"Wouldn't that mean giving you the entire Tushan Mountain?"
