Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Hey! Fox King, what's going on with your fox clan? It feels a bit different than usual." A glamorous woman in a black, tight-fitting dress walked over with a smile.

The Fox King glanced at the other party.

"Oh, it's the Snake King. Long time no see." The Fox King said that one sentence and then ignored her.

"Hey? You bastard." The Snake King stomped her foot in annoyance at the Fox King's coldness, but she didn't try to be friendly. Instead, she looked the fox cultivators over.

It seems the Snake King and the Fox King have some shady dealings.

As for the relationship between the fox clan and the snake clan, it's probably not very good, but they're not exactly hostile races either.

Among the demon race, for various reasons, many races are inherently restrained, and this restraint leads to poor relationships between them.

Different races cannot sense the purity of each other's bloodline, so the Serpent King can only roughly judge who the contestants are based on their cultivation level and age. After all, the rule is that only those below Nirvana level and whose age cannot exceed six thousand years old are eligible, which makes it easy to judge.

Her gaze quickly locked onto Ye Liuyun and his group, especially Ye Liuyun, because she found that Ye Liuyun was terrifyingly young, not even two thousand years old. A two-thousand-year-old in the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm was definitely a genius among the demon race.

"A mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivator who is less than two thousand years old? Strange, why have I never heard of him before?" The Snake King pondered as he looked at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also clearly noticed that the Snake King was observing him, so he turned his head with a smile and glanced at the Snake King.

When the snake king saw that the other party was looking at him, he smiled slightly with a slightly embarrassed expression, and then immediately looked away.

"Hey! Hong Ningyu, why did you suddenly change into men's clothing? To be honest, I almost didn't recognize you when I first arrived. You look quite charming in men's clothing, and it's made me a little unable to resist." As the Snake King spoke, he actually moved closer to the Fox King.

The snake king's behavior quickly came into Ye Liuyun's view.

"Huh? This snake spirit seems to have something going on with the Fox King." Ye Liuyun became interested.

When the Fox King saw the Snake King approaching, he immediately shrugged.

"Don't get so close to me. I really don't like the snake smell on you," the Fox King complained.

That statement offended the Snake King.

"What? You vixen, why didn't you say I smelled when you slept with me back then?" the Snake King said angrily.

These words startled Ye Liuyun.

"Holy crap, no way, the Fox King and the Snake King have that kind of relationship?"

"Shut up, have you no shame? That's all ancient history, why bring it up again? They say snakes are inherently lewd, and it seems that's true." The Fox King's pretty face was getting a little embarrassed.

As for the other members of the fox clan, they seemed unsurprised, as the demon race was rather casual about such matters.

"Oh, oh, oh, what are you pretending to be, a gentleman? You've learned all those human tricks! Who doesn't know your name, Hong Ningyu? Or do you want me to tell your fox clan juniors about your heroic deeds in your youth?" the snake king threatened.

The Fox King instinctively glanced at Ye Liuyun, and when she saw Ye Liuyun looking at her with a strange expression, she immediately glared at the Snake King.

"You've won, what do you want?" The Fox King was speechless.

Upon hearing this, the Snake King immediately moved closer and grabbed the Fox King's arm.

"Oh dear, what else can I do? I just want to get closer to you," the Snake King said with a coquettish smile.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Liuyun immediately glanced at the fox clan. When she saw the strange smiles on Bai Lian and the others' faces, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hey, Sister Bai Lian, what's the relationship between your father and this Snake King? They seem to be very familiar with each other." Ye Liuyun asked in a low voice.

When Bai Lian saw Ye Liuyun asking about this, she didn't shy away from it and immediately told him about her father's youth.

What happened? It's that when the Fox King was young, he was famous for his beauty and had affairs with countless women from powerful clans. Back then, the Snake King was a princess of the Teng Snake clan.

If it weren't for the prohibition against intermarriage between the various demon clans, the Fox King would probably have had a harem of three thousand beauties, and each one would be different from the last.

"That's amazing? You don't mind?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"Well, Sister Bai Miao, the demon race doesn't have many taboos in this regard, you should know that," Bai Lian said with a dry laugh.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, then looked as if she suddenly understood, and didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, several more cultivators from various races arrived at the location. However, some cultivators flew directly to a certain place in the Boundary Sea. Among them were Ye Liuyun's acquaintances, such as Jin Rui. Although Jin Rui was the king of the Fox Clan, as a divine cultivator, he was far superior to the Fox King and the others.

Currently, the Tiger Clan can be considered a clan on par with the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, because they have two demon gods.

As Jin Rui and the others flew past the Boundary Sea, she glanced at Ye Liuyun intentionally or unintentionally, and then secretly transmitted her voice.

"We didn't expect you to have such abilities, Miss Ye. We'll go to the Dragon Realm to wait for you. Don't worry, if you need to save your friend, our Tiger Clan will definitely lend you a hand."

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun felt even more at ease.

The fox clan waited there for about five minutes. Five minutes later, a proud and noble woman dressed in golden armor appeared out of thin air in the sight of the fox king and the others.

"Fox King, I, the princess, have been ordered by my father to guide the fox clan into the Dragon Realm," the golden-armored woman said, bowing respectfully.

The visitor was the third princess of the Dragon Clan.

"Yes, thank you for leading the way, Third Princess." The Fox King nodded.

The third princess of the dragon clan was a cultivator in the late Nirvana stage, and was of the same generation as the Fox King, not a junior.

The current Dragon Emperor is a Nirvana Peak powerhouse, and the Dragon Clan has three Nirvana Peak powerhouses: the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Queen, and the Dragon Clan Chief. Although Nirvana Peak corresponds to the Celestial Beings of the Human Race, it is actually stronger than the Celestial Beings.

Add to that the Heavenly Dragon Demon God, an eighth-level demon god, and even the Tiger Clan would find it difficult to contend with such power.

Currently, the dragon and phoenix races of the demon race are the royal families, and those with demon gods in charge are royal families. Those without demon gods in charge are at most ordinary races.

The Third Princess of the Dragon Clan nodded, then turned around and raised her hand to wave at the Boundary Sea. Soon, a water vortex appeared on the surface of the Boundary Sea. There was no need to look any further; this must be the entrance to the Dragon Realm. This water vortex was a spatial vortex.

The Fox King led the group, following behind the Third Princess of the Dragon Clan, into the vortex. The Dragon Realm was a place with incredibly strong defenses; even demon gods had difficulty breaking in.

After Ye Liuyun and the others fell into the vortex, it was as if they were traveling through a time tunnel. Soon the world changed, and they arrived in another independent small world.

This world is full of life, made up of many islands of varying sizes, forming an island region. In the sea below, one can see many dragons and other sub-dragon races churning the waters.

These demon races with dragon bloodlines, even the weakest among them, are all at the Transformation Realm, which shows how powerful the dragon race is overall.

"Is this the Dragon Realm?" Ye Liuyun glanced around and noticed that large and small crystal palaces were built on the islands.

However, she had no time to appreciate the scenery of the Dragon Realm. Instead, she quickly closed her eyes and sensed the location of the Dragon Spirit.

Because the two are now very close, Ye Liuyun knows exactly where Long Lingyun is.

Meanwhile, in a palace where the Dragon Realm royal family resided, a stunningly beautiful woman, imprisoned within, was leaning against the window, lost in thought.

But just then, as if sensing something, she suddenly stood up.

"This feeling? Has she arrived?" The woman smiled with surprise.

This celestial-like woman was none other than Long Lingyun, whom she hadn't seen for many years. She was still the same as before, and even more beautiful than she had been hundreds of years ago. Moreover, her cultivation had greatly increased. When they parted ways, she was only at the early stage of Nirvana, but now she was at the middle stage of Nirvana. It seemed that she had encountered considerable opportunities over the years.

By the way, the person who kidnapped Long Lingyun was actually the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan, probably because he was attracted to Long Lingyun's beauty.

When Long Lingyun broke through to the mid-stage of Nirvana, her bloodline evolved again, transforming from a Flood Dragon into a True Dragon. Her current form is an Ice Dragon bloodline, which is very rare among the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Prince also stumbled upon Long Lingyun by chance. Seeing that Long Lingyun was an ice dragon and extremely beautiful, he forcibly took her away.

This dragon prince is a dragon in the late Nirvana stage, but he possesses 80% of the Holy Dragon bloodline, while Long Lingyun only has 30% of the Ice Dragon bloodline. He is no match for him and is unlikely to win.

The Dragon Prince wanted Long Lingyun to be his Crown Princess, but how could Long Lingyun possibly agree? So this guy just kept her locked up in the palace and didn't want her to leave.

As for other aspects, he didn't do anything to Long Lingyun. As a proud dragon, the Dragon Prince wouldn't force anyone, but he was also trying to make Long Lingyun fall in love with him.

Normally, if an ordinary dragon is favored by the royal family of the dragon clan, most dragons would be eager to pay him a visit. But this time, the dragon prince suddenly encountered one who would rather die than submit, so he became interested.

"Hey, what do you think Miss Long Lingyun is thinking? Our Crown Prince wants her to be his Crown Princess, the future Dragon Queen, but she's not happy about it. Sigh, I can't understand it." Outside the palace, a number of dragon maids were discussing this matter.

Almost every day, people are commenting on Long Lingyun's behavior.

But little did they know what Long Lingyun was thinking.

Ye Liuyun and the others followed the Third Princess to the most magnificent island of the Dragon Clan, which was naturally the Dragon Clan's royal palace. As for the islands surrounding the royal palace, they were the islands where the princesses, princes, and the Dragon King lived. Ye Liuyun glanced at an island that was only slightly smaller than the royal palace, where Long Lingyun was.

Long Lingyun had already seen Ye Liuyun through her divine sense, since she and Ye Liuyun had a soul connection.

The two exchanged a thought, and Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to transmit his voice through their special channel.

"Sister Dragon, I'm here. Don't worry, as long as you don't want to stay in the Dragon Clan, even if it means turning against them, I will take you out."

"Well, it's been many years since I last saw you, Sister Liuyun. Let's talk after I'm out of trouble." Long Lingyun didn't take the opportunity to reminisce with Ye Liuyun at this time.

"Okay." Ye Liuyun said just that one word, and then landed at the palace gate with the fox clan cultivators.

Upon seeing the arrival of the fox clan, a powerful dragon at the entrance immediately shouted.

"The fox clan of Qingqiu Kingdom has arrived."

This can be considered a special welcoming treatment from the dragon race to the royal family.

"It's said that dragons love to collect treasures, and it seems that's true. This palace is actually made entirely of top-grade heavenly materials. If I could move this palace and sell it, it should be enough to sustain my Immortal Realm for thousands of years," Ye Liuyun said, looking at the enormous crystal palace in front of him with longing.

But she immediately shook her head.

"No, no, I can't be too greedy. This is someone else's palace. Besides, are you short of money?" Ye Liuyun quickly suppressed his greed.

But in reality, she only needed to sell a few Rejuvenation Pills to make a lot of money. It's just that, as the saying goes, other people's things are always better than your own.

Ye Liuyun was already a money-grubber in her human form, and her desires would only be stronger after she became a fox. She felt that the dragon clan must have many treasures, and if she fought against the dragon clan when she rescued Long Lingyun, she would definitely take the opportunity to snatch a few crystal palaces back with her.

After all, they've already made a move; they're now enemies. What else is she worried about? For now, she definitely needs to exercise restraint.

Ye Liuyun had already made his plans.

As soon as they entered the Crystal Palace, countless gazes suddenly shot in from all directions. These gazes quickly swept over the fox clan cultivators, and among them were more than a dozen gazes that belonged to the Demon God, causing many fox clan members to tense up.

Ye Liuyun also quickly glanced around out of the corner of his eye. The Crystal Palace was quite large and was constructed from a translucent blue crystal. In the very center of the Crystal Palace, a dozen powerful figures, each radiating a different color of divine light, sat cross-legged.

The figures of these powerful beings were all obscured by the light, but Ye Liuyun still sensed several familiar auras within them. Without needing to look further, he knew that these must be the divine manifestations of the Demon God.

Not only them, but also the kings and powerful figures of various races were observing the fox clan members. Ye Liuyun was the focus of attention because she stood out the most among the crowd.

Other powerful individuals might not be able to discern the level of Ye Liuyun's bloodline, but they could certainly tell that Ye Liuyun was quite young.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist Nine-Tailed Fox, when did your fox clan acquire such an outstanding member? How come we didn't know? Could it be that he has the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox?" A serpentine dharma form radiating azure light couldn't help but mutter, then glanced at the Nine-Tailed Demon God beside him.

The one who spoke was the Tengshe Demon God.

The Nine-Tailed Demon God was quite displeased when the Teng Snake Demon God asked this question.

"That's strange. Do I need to tell your snake clan whether my fox clan has any outstanding descendants? Isn't that meddling too much? Or do you think our fox clan has no outstanding juniors?" The Nine-Tailed Demon God retorted with considerable displeasure.

The Tengshe Demon God chuckled.

"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Nine-Tailed Fox, don't be so nervous. You've already brought this to the Demon Clan's Gathering of Prodigies, it would be too formal to keep it hidden." Tengshe Demon God said with a half-smile.

The Nine-Tailed Demon God immediately snorted coldly and ignored him.

"Such a young mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and with such a strange aura, could he really be a Nine-Tailed Fox?" another demon god asked curiously.

The Nine-Tailed Demon God glanced at the other party.

"You'll find out when the time comes, won't you? Why ask so many questions now? Are you scared?" the Nine-Tailed Demon God replied.

Alright, that one sentence shut down all the questions the demon gods wanted to ask.

After the Fox King led everyone in, he first bowed to the demon gods at the top.

"Fox Clan's Hong Ningyu greets the senior demon gods of all races, the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Queen, and all fellow Daoists," the Fox King said politely.

In the dragon race, the Dragon Queen and the Dragon Emperor have the same status; there is no question of who is superior or inferior.

"Fox King, it's been a while. Has something major happened to your fox clan? What's with your attire?" The Dragon Emperor seemed puzzled when he saw the Fox King dressed as a man.

"This is a matter of our own clan, and it is not convenient to disclose it," the Fox King said with a smile.

The Dragon Emperor was taken aback. He had only asked a casual question, and seeing that the Fox King did not answer, he did not ask any further. The Fox King then led Ye Liuyun and the others to the Fox Clan's seats, sat down, and waited for the arrival of the other royal families.

As for the ordinary demons, they certainly weren't qualified to come to the palace; they were all assigned to other islands.

With the arrival of the last royal family member, the Eagle Clan, all the major royal families were now present.

This so-called Demon Clan Assembly, though said to be for all demons, is actually just a competition among a few major clans; ordinary demons are simply not worth their attention.

"That's about enough. We've just met today, everyone. The Heavenly Pride Tournament won't start until tomorrow. Why don't you all stay in our Dragon Realm for a day and discuss the competition format for tomorrow? The human race always comes up with all sorts of creative ideas for these kinds of events. I remember not long ago you said you wanted to learn from the human race, so why don't we learn from them?" the Dragon Emperor suggested.

Upon hearing this, the kings of the various races stroked their chins. Their first reaction was that the dragon race had other motives.

"Dragon Emperor, is this year's Demon Clan Prodigy Tournament different from previous ones?" a handsome young man dressed in a seven-colored brocade robe asked with a smile.

The one speaking was the Phoenix Emperor, the current emperor of the Phoenix Clan. Sitting next to him, dressed very similarly to him, was the Phoenix Queen, the leader of the avian lineage.

"Haha, this was a spur-of-the-moment idea from the senior demon gods not long ago. They said that this is the first gathering of demon prodigies held by our demon race after returning to the Burial God Star, so why not make it more lively? Therefore, before you arrived, I sent invitations to the major holy lands of the human race," the Dragon Emperor said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun and the others were taken aback when they heard this. In other words, the so-called Demon Race Prodigy Tournament might turn into a contest between humans and demons.
