C89 (1/2)

Kong Xiu, this was the name Xiu'er had given him. Since she had no way to clarify the relationship between him and that man in her entire life, she might as well be more straightforward.

At this time, Kong Xiu was seated at the head of the table. On her left was the Madame Fu and on her right was a muscular man called Hu Hu. Madame Fu introduced everyone at the table, and all of them were people who held important positions in the Demonic Beast Clan. Kong Xiu understood that this table of people was the core of the Demonic Beast Clan, while Madame Fu and Hu Hu were his hands, arms, and shoulders.

Looking at the people from the Demonic Beast Clan on the table, Kong Xiu laughed bitterly in her heart. When she heard the three words ”Demonic Beast Clan” and her previous understanding of Demonic Beast, she unconsciously felt that she would be eating at the same table as a group of foxes, rabbits, tigers, and elephants. However, she did not expect that all of them would be handsome men and women. Compared to them, even the more serious humans were slightly inferior in terms of looks and stature.

But at the same time, she also felt their loyalty and joy. This was the kind of connection that came from a bloodline, the kind of loyalty and joy that would never betray. However, Kong Xiu was also hesitating, she could feel the impulse in the hearts of everyone present. Maybe because Demonic Beast Clan had lived for too long, they thought too highly of their ”King”. In their hearts, the arrival of the Her Highness Kong Xiu was equivalent to the words ”Demonic Beast Clan Revival”, ”One Thousand Year Old Regeneration”, ”Third Pole of the Continent”, and other such words that would cause their blood to boil with excitement. Although no one said it directly, Xiu'er could still see the yearning and longing in their eyes.

Kong Xiu was at a loss in her heart. After going through such a cruel battle, she didn't know how she could persuade them to let go of this thought. Although Demonic Beast s were strong, they were limited by their numbers. Perhaps, they could win in a partial battle or even an overwhelming victory. But when this army is placed on a vast battlefield, it is difficult to do much.

On the other hand, it was very difficult for the name and image of Demonic Beast Clan to gain the approval of the common people. Regardless of whether it was Moqiu State or not, they had only sculpted the image of the divine beast for others to worship. From the emperor and the officials below Messenger of God, all of the senior and junior levels were still borne by humans. For ordinary people, they would only change their rulers. They might not be used to it, but it was still acceptable. But what about Demonic Beast Clan? High leveled Demonic Beast s were still okay, as they were after all human beings, but what about the middle and low leveled ones? Even if they weren't officials, who would be willing to be neighbours with a monster with a beast's head and body?

That's right, the word Kong Xiu used in the depths of her heart was indeed ”monster”, because she believed that this was indeed the first reaction that a normal person would have when seeing Demonic Beast Clan.

To the people with Demonic Beast Clan that were scarce, the battlefield was unfavorable and was not recognized. Any one of these two aspects could lead to the extinction of their race.

Looking at the passionate and eager eyes beside him, Kong Xiu could feel the passion in their hearts and their desire to travel. She also understood why they wanted to do what they did. After all, it was too difficult for the races that lived in the cracks to survive. They would not let go of any opportunity to expand or prove themselves. However, she didn't know how to convince them to wait and see, to solve all their problems.

Hu Hu raised his large cup of wine and said to Kong Xiu with a smile, ”Your Highness, let me toast you again! I hope that our Demonic Beast Clan can soar to the skies under the guidance of Your Highness, and can flourish for thousands of years from now on! ”

”Cheers!”

”Well said!”

With that said, everyone around applauded him and raised their cups to toast Kong Xiu. Kong Xiu felt a bit helpless, but she still raised her wine cup to toast everyone, and smiled to welcome everyone's smiles.

After the banquet, the Madame Fu led Kong Xiu back to her room to rest. She handed a cup of hot tea to her and said softly, ”Your Highness does not need to worry too much. This kind of decision, it's enough for His Highness to make, there's no need to pay too much attention to them. ”

Kong Xiu held the cup with both of her hands, and shook her head slightly, ”Will they support a king who doesn't have any ambitions?” Her tone was filled with frustration and bitterness.

Madame Fu took a step back and bowed towards Kong Xiu. ”Your Highness! Please do not doubt the loyalty Demonic Beast Clan to you! No matter what it is, and no matter what it is, as long as you say it, Demonic Beast Clan is willing to go through fire and water! ”

Kong Xiu's face was still as bleak as before, ”Actually, the one you two are loyal to is only your bloodline, and not me ~ ~ ~”

”Your Highness ~ ~ ~” Madame Fu was stunned for a moment, then deeply lowered her head, her muffled voice sounded out, ”Your Highness, do not belittle yourself, you have the three great bloodlines, how can you be an average person?”

Kong Xiu suddenly laughed, and a helpless smile appeared on her beautiful face: ”Madame Fu, so it turns out that you also wished for me to achieve great things.”

Without waiting for Madame Fu to explain, Kong Xiu said indifferently: ”I'm a little tired. Let's talk tomorrow if you have something to say.”

Madame Fu slowly stood up, looked meaningfully at Kong Xiu for a moment, then bowed and left the room.

”Madame Fu, wait.” Kong Xiu shouted to stop the Madame Fu, ”I remember you promised Sir Kong Sheng that you had a way to restrain the Demonic Beast Soldier, I don't know ~”

Madame Fu stopped and replied: ”I do not dare to forget this matter, I hope that Your Highness can rest first. Tomorrow morning, I will make the necessary arrangements.” With that said, Madame Fu bowed once again. She reached out to close the door and slowly walked away.

Kong Xiu sat by the window with the teacup in her arms, she raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. This was the first time she was looking at the moon from the depths of her Wulian Mountain Range. The bamboo house that Kong Xiu lived in was in a secluded corner of the town. Accompanied by the sound of insects chirping and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves like rain, the night in the mountain seemed especially quiet.

At that moment, Kong Xiu suddenly thought of Kong Sheng, the person who she did not know how to face and get along with, how was he?
