Chapter 376 - You Know Nothing About Power.
A Black Kirin and a Black Dragon were formed in the air. Although they were now criminals, they still had the dignity of being ancient beasts. They looked at the crowd coldly.
Meanwhile, their noses moved. Their eyes turned around and could not help looking at the bun in Nanan’s hand.
There was such a fragrant bun in the world? What was it made of? Impossible! They were born with the world and yet they had never tasted it.
Black Dragon scoffed, “Ha-ha, they’re trying to tempt us with good food? How innocent!”
Black Kirin scoffed as he retrieved the saliva oozed out, “I might only consider it if there are at least a hundred thousand buns.”
Nanan stuffed the bun into her mouth. It bulged up as she looked at the Black Dragon and said in a muffled tone, “This bun’s made with your dragon meat.”
“My meat tastes so yummy?” Black Dragon was shocked as if he just knew about himself. He looked at his body with only its Primordial Spirit left. He regretted it.
‘Unfortunately, I didn’t taste it myself before others had it.’

Daji looked at them and said calmly, “Now that the world’s messed up, my master wants to recreate the order of the people, demons, and immortals. However, he doesn’t like to kill, so from now onward, I’ll be in charge of the demons. If you surrender to me, you don’t have to die.”
If the master was to do it, of course, he would not even need to speak. A sneeze from him would destroy all species. Since he had chosen not to show his cultivation, obviously he was trying to remove himself from the scene and merely act as a spectator. He wanted the others to do the work for him.
Thus, Daji could not let her master down!
Attacking Kirins and Dragons was too unrealistic since they were too powerful. Therefore, Daji was using the wisest way.
As the one closest to Li Nianfan, other than constantly being baptized by his words and actions, she had heard many of his ideas. The sentence Li Nianfan repeated most frequently was, ‘Don’t use violence to solve problems’.
Master did not like violence and did not like to use his power. Or else, why would he keep pretending to be an ordinary man?
“Surrender to you? Ha-ha, who are you kidding?”
“A mere Nine-tailed Fox trying to be the Lord Demon? Most importantly, a small fox with a master? Who are you? You’re insulting the entire demon race!”
“Nonsense! Absolute nonsense! And what did she say? Don’t want to use force? And she expects us to surrender to her?”
“Perhaps she thinks by capturing the two of us, she could rule the world?”
Black Kirin and Black Dragon start insulting Daji. Since they were beyond dead, they were arrogant as usual. They did not look weak and seemed powerful as usual.
“Little fox, listen to me. If you’re not the one dreaming, your master’s the one dreaming.” Black Dragon smiled.
He put on a senior expert kind of look as he said with pride, “The reason I was caught by you was due to an accident. Let me let you in on a secret. During the major catastrophe, only my Southern Sea Dragon Family was kept alive. It’s just a matter of time before we rule the entire ocean. Furthermore, I’m already beyond life and death. I’ve become a Daluo Golden Immortal. Now that I have the Dragon Soul Pearl, I can bring back the glory of dragons like the past. What do you have to rule the demons? Your nine tails?”
“Your Southern Sea isn’t too bad, but compared to my Kirin family, you’re still behind.” Black Kirin smiled and fixed his posture. He put on a flying pose with one hand in the air and said arrogantly, “My Kirin family’s the winner of the catastrophe. However…that’s not it! Good things will turn bad, bad things will turn good! After the catastrophe, a genius appeared in my Kirin family, known as the Kiriner. He was born with everything and with extra powers. Kiriner will be something in the future. However… I’m not done yet! Back then, when the Kirins started to turn bad, Kiriner turned into a Kirin Cliff. However, his soul was left behind… My Kiriner not only woke up under the cliff, he even inherited the entire Kirin family. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal’s nothing in front of Kiriner. He’s the pride of my family!”
At the end, Black Kirin was so excited. He was shaking, his eyes squinting. It was as if he had seen his Kirins in glory with tears in his eyes.
Black Dragon mocked, “Hah, how would a mere junior compete with a Southern Sea Dragon King like me?”
“What do you know?” Do you know how talented my Kiriner is?”
“You know nothing! Do you know how powerful my Dragon Soul Pearl is?”
“Do you know how hard my Kiriner works?”
…
The two were getting more and more agitated. The two spirits were already fighting. If it was not for their lack of power, they would have fought properly.
“Ha-ha, you two have no idea what power is!” Dragin scoffed with a smirk. Her small body was filled with arrogance as she said proudly, “Dragon Soul Pearl? Soul of the Kirin? That’s it? Do you know what we have here? My dragon family’s…”
Whoop!
Meanwhile, a golden carp fish suddenly jumped out of the pond in the heart of the backyard. It caused ripples that did not match with its figure. It landed back into the pond and then jumped out again and again
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
“Eh? What an active carp fish.” Black Kirin stared at the fish blankly and sighed. “It’s meat must be muscular.”
Dragin swallowed back what she wanted to say. However, she was not finished. She said, “Whatever, this is a big secret. I promised to keep it a secret so I can’t tell you all.”
Inside the pond, the golden carp let out a sigh of relief. Its eyes were looking emotional. “Luckily, I warned her in time. If not I would’ve been exposed. How dangerous, how dangerous.”
Black Dragon and Black Kirin merely scoffed. They stopped fighting for a moment and looked at Daji.
“Do you still think you can rule all of the demons?” Black Kirin scoffed coldly. “Give up the thought. We won’t surrender to you. It’s impossible for the kirins to surrender to you!”
“Little fox, back then, my dragon family didn’t even show respect to Dao Zu. Your master’s nobody to us. It’s impossible for us to surrender, if you want to kill us, go ahead!” Black Dragon’s tone was full of determination. His tone was cold and harsh.
Sizz!
Without any warning, countless flashing strings appeared and circled the Black Dragon and Black Kirin. The strings were pulling and stretching them out.
The dragon and kirin were dumbfounded. They were pulled into an embarrassing pose hanging in the air. They were unable to move.
There was a playful voice coming from the forest. “These two don’t even know who they are, this should be the correct pose for them to speak to you.”
“What’re you doing? How dare a small Tree Demon insult us?”
Black Dragon and Kirin were both struggling and trying to move. They scoffed around angrily. With just a glance, their bodies jolted. How they wished they could pluck out their eyes.
The strings tying them down was…Spiritual Root!?
And the Tree Demons around them…they were all Spiritual Roots!?
There were apples, oranges, pears, and other fruits hanging on the trees. Under the sunlight, the fruits seemed so tempting and delicious. They were glowing.
They gasped and almost went crazy.
“Spiritual Roots and Immortal Fruits!? Am I hallucinating? Kirin, have a look, quick! Are those Spiritual Roots tying us down?” Black Dragon called out with disbelief, his voice becoming squeaky.
“Shut up!”
Black Kirin’s eyes popped out. He started looking around. He did not notice earlier, but with just a glance, his entire face grimaced out of shock. His Primordial Spirit started shaking vigorously and almost collapsed.
His voice shivered as he stuttered, “This…this is…”
The Fire Phoenix had a smile on her lips. She said, “This is the backyard of our master. The place where he plants and grows some chickens.”
“Plants and grows some chickens?”
Here?
Black Dragon and Black Kirin felt their heads buzzing. Everything in sight was making them gasp with their last breath.
Even the Flat Peach Garden of the Heavenly Temple back in the days was nowhere close to this place. Even the house of the saints was probably not as luxurious as this place.
Black Dragon took in a deep breath. He had a look of respect in his eyes. He said, “What’s the matter with this Spiritual Root? Aren’t these fruits? How did they become Spiritual Root?”
Daji smiled and said, “The realm of my master has gone way past your ability to understand. Turning something ordinary into extraordinary is something very normal. Even grass could be turned into a Spiritual Root here, let alone fruits!”
Black Kirin shook his head with disbelief. “This is impossible!”
Although he said so, the look of shock on his face showed that he believed what he heard.
The Tree Demons were moving and twisting around. The sound resonated again, “We were all ordinary fruit trees. We only managed to become Spiritual Roots thanks to our master. It’s your blessing to be able to work for our master.”
Black Kirin and Black Dragon exchanged a look. They felt their hearts sinking. They were perplexed. The resistance they had earlier had completely vanished.
If everything they said was true, this master was too terrifying. The so-called Southern Sea Dragon King and Kiriner were insignificant.
Black Kirin had a straight look on as he said seriously, “My kirins are as old as the world. Since I’m one of them, my life belongs to them, alive or dead. If you want me to work against my family as a spy, you must tell me, what are the benefits?”

Black Dragon nodded. “What he said!”
