"Wuu wuu wuu~~~"
After eating and drinking his fill, General Ganglie wiped the tears from his eyes as he stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth. "Brother, you have no idea how hard life is on Fuling Mountain; there’s nothing here, not even a single strand of hair!"
"Out there, they enjoy offerings from the human world, everything they could wish for to eat and drink."
"At the very least, they can upy a good mountain, rich in resources, full of rare and delicious foods."
"And me?"
General Ganglie: "Every day what I eat isn’t even enough to stuff my teeth, I’m so hungry that I’ve lost weight."
"Lost weight?"
Hailbo looked at General Ganglie skeptically: "You call this thin?"
"I was at least a round bigger than I am now."
"Oh, so you have lost weight," Hailbo said. "Poor general, shall I leave some more steamed buns for you?"
"Hey! What are you saying? Am I the kind of person who hankers for cheap things?"
"That..."
General Ganglie eyed Hailbo pleadingly: "Brother, how many baskets do you n to leave?"
General Ganglie was a genuine warrior, and Hailbo found him good-natured, decent, and inherently good-hearted.
Although ugly, he was no viin.
"When you’re hungry, don’t you eat people?"
Hailbo whispered this question to try and gauge General Ganglie’s reaction.
"Brother, are you kidding me?"

"Eat people?! Are you mad?"
General Ganglie eximed in shock: "I am human, too! It’s just that through the grace of my master, I’vee to look this way. Would I eat people? Am I crazy?"
"You are humans?"
"What else?!"
ording to General Ganglie, they appeared monstrous due to the Miracle Power of the King of Ai.
However, such appearances weren’t permanent.
Like General Ganglie, he could change back to human if he wanted, though it would consume a great deal of Miracle Power and significantly reduce his strength, rather like self-imposed sealing.
Under the banner of the King of Ai, the more bizarre their appearance, the weaker they were.
This indicated that they hadn’t mastered the Miracle Power properly.
Those who resembled humans, with fewer differences, were stronger.
"When they be indistinguishable from humans, without a trace of demon left," General Ganglie said, "that’s the true pinnacle!"
"So your strength is quite poor?"
"Hey? Don’t talk nonsense! I am like this because I was punished by our king," he admitted.
"Let me tell you something."
General Ganglie swallowed the ten steamed buns in his mouth and boasted, "Back in the day, I was also handsome and debonair, charming and dashing!"
"Really? For real?"
Hailbo: "Then why did you turn out like this?"
"That... well..."
"Sigh, that was all due to my arrogance and forgetting my ce," hemented.
These were stories of General Ganglie’s own, not involving the leakage of military secrets, so he spoke candidly: "At one of our king’s banquets, I had too much to drink. I don’t know what came over me—I flirted with Rabbit Sister."
"Pfft!"
Cat Lulu covered her mouth andughed, "You’re a pig who likes a rabbit?"
"Hey hey hey, you little cat, don’t talk nonsense," General Ganglie said, "Rabbit sister is pretty. In our Ai, her beauty is unmatched!"
Watching General Ganglie give a thumbs up, Cat Lulu expressed disdain.
The little female cat transformed into her fairy form, hands on hips, raising her chin as she challenged, "Then where do you think I rank?"
"Uh..."
General Ganglie was a straightforward person who wasn’t good at lying: "You, well, we don’t have someone like you in Ai."
"Although I, Old Pig, don’t fancy it much," General Ganglie couldn’t appreciate Cat Lulu’s cuteness as he favored fairy-like damsels, "But, but there might be a big shot who’d like someone like you."
"Meow~~"
Cat Lulu beamed, "See, my charm works here too, meow!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you’re almost taking over my position as the envoy."
Hailbo felt somewhat helpless; he turned to General Ganglie, "So you turned into this because you teased your rabbit sister?"
"I truly see her as a sister."
"But after drinking, I, I don’t know what I did."
"Luckily, our King is merciful; he only sealed part of my Miracle Power as punishment."
General Ganglie: "And so, I ended up looking like this."
"..."
Hailbo was surprised; he could sense that General Ganglie’s power was strong, definitely above Master Level.
Yet this was still in a sealed state, so...
Could it be that this fellow was actually a King?
"Under the King of Ai, are there many experts like you, Brother Pig?"
"Hahahaha."
General Ganglie suddenlyughed heartily and waved his hand, "You’re probing military secrets; Old Pig can’t say it, and certainly won’t tell you."
Even the most foolish person, under the restriction of Miracle Power, would be forced to swallow their words before they could speak them.
"That’s true."
Hailbo stood up, "Since I’ve finished my visit, isn’t it time to take me to see the King of Ai?"
"Right, right,"
General Ganglie said, "It’s perfect that through you, Old Pig, I might also get a chance to meet our King."
"It’s been so long; our King’s anger, it should’ve subsided by now, right?"
"It has."
"Good, if it has subsided, then…"
General Ganglie was overjoyed, but as he was speaking, he looked towards Hailbo, "You, were you the one speaking just now?"
"..."
General Ganglie followed Hailbo’s gaze.
On the high cliffs above, a figure stood facing them.
She was a woman with short golden hair, an icy gaze, and an arrogant demeanor, the epitome of a queenly beauty.
"!!!"
Under the scrutiny of the frosty queenly beauty, Hailbo, Cat Lulu, and even General Ganglie felt an immense pressure beyond their imagination!
"She!"
"Why is she here?"
Almost the moment they saw the woman, all the demons of Yunzhandong hid away.
