The Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s usually wooden face showed a rare change of expression, a bitter smile, “Master, with my strength, those Demon Beasts killed by the Dragon Lord, even in death, are beyond my capacity to deal with.”
“And I certainly can’t let them handle it, so I can only deceive them by saying that those places are where the Dragon Lord executes his servants.”
“As for why it’s only me.”
“Because my Treasure Map allows me to change my appearance, so I visit them in a different guise every so often, to look after them, and to bring them precious resources and food taken from the Devil Emperor.”
“Under the nurturing of such precious resources, most of them are content and unquestioning.”
After the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had finished speaking.
...
Cheng Guang could see the envoy’s face twitch slightly, and it was vaguely apparent that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was in pain.
The actions taken by the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, as well as the women he had brought to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, were not as the outside world or the many Devil Beasts had imagined.
It was downright fantastical.
Everyone thought that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, with his greedy appearance, would embezzle for his own benefit, but who could have thought that he was actually nurturing all those women he brought to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
This wasn’t about taking any women back.
It was clearly about bringing back a bunch of ancestors.
Yet the Dragon Lord’s Envoy couldn’t stop his actions.
After all, if he suddenly ceased.

It would either mean something had happened to the Dragon Lord.
Or that someone was bearing a dragon child.
In that case, even if the Dragon Lord himself didn’t make an appearance, he would have to show off the dragon child to everyone, right?
Otherwise, how could it be explained?
So even if the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was unwilling to keep bringing women up the mountain, he continued to do so without cease.
Latterly, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy made a point of selecting women with better temperaments and personalities, even if it meant sustaining them with resources, at least they could treat him somewhat better.
The current situation of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was simply beyond the description of humiliation.
At the same time, Cheng Guang understood.
Why the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was scrounging resources from various Devil Emperors but still looked so weak and frail.
With the resources given by the Devil Emperors, even a pig could be raised to the status of a Devil Emperor.
There was no reason the Dragon Lord’s Envoy couldn’t do the same.
Cheng Guang had been puzzled before but hadn’t thought much into it, just assuming the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had poor aptitude. Little did he know.
The world of the Eight-layered Devil Realm was fantastical enough.
But the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was even more so.
Bringing a host of women up the mountain was not as those outside imagined; those women were not turned into miserable breeding machines, but were instead treated well with good food and drink.
Apart from having little freedom and not being able to leave Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, they suffered no grievances in any other respect.
Instead, they could regard Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils as a place for secluded cultivation.
There were many benefits.
Looking at it now.
It seemed incredibly far-fetched.
Cheng Guang looked at the Dragon Lord’s Envoy a few times, observing his now somewhat gaunt body and for some reason.
The anger Cheng Guang had felt towards the Dragon Lord’s Envoy just moments ago suddenly dissipated.
Instead, he felt a bit of sympathy for him.
For the sake of survival, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy too had made great efforts.
Cheng Guang didn’t ponder further, but slowly lifted his foot and followed the direction indicated by the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.
The direction pointed out by the Dragon Lord’s Envoy led to a cluster of palaces, which was also on the way to “Sword Handle Mountain,” the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan.
Approaching the cluster of palaces.
Cheng Guang could hear from afar the melodious voices of women, their sounds lilting and melodious, like a beautiful symphony.
Cheng Guang and his group approached slowly.
From a distance, they could see through some open palace doors, a group of women sitting around banquet tables.
Most of them were quite beautiful, with graceful figures.
The tables were laden with a variety of delicacies and fine wines.
The women seemed immersed in joy, their laughter continuous.
If the outsiders who imagined the women chosen by the Dragon Lord, who at this time were believed to serve as mere tools of procreation, worked to exhaustion day and night, saw them in this state, they would probably turn green with envy.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Guang’s heart was filled with bewilderment.
After only a glance, Cheng Guang lost interest and did not intend to change this arrangement.
Most of these women were Devil Beasts, and it was fine to leave them be for now. Should there be a need later on, they could be useful to Cheng Guang.
For the moment, what was more important to Cheng Guang was to enter “Sword Handle Mountain,” to find the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave that the system task hinted at.
Cheng Guang took one last long look at the palace and then led Gu Wushuang, Black Cub, and the Dragon Lord’s Envoy past the palaces, walking towards Sword Handle Mountain.
Passing by the palaces.
Cheng Guang intentionally subdued his aura.
Although the Cultivation Realms of the women here were mostly strong, none had reached that of a Devil Emperor.
Or rather.
Women who had attained the Cultivation Realm of a Devil Emperor would simply not be selected by the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, let alone be brought to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
Even if some of them had good cultivation talent, the Devil Beasts themselves advanced slowly in cultivation. Even with resources, it would still take decades, or even hundreds of years.
The issue of time didn’t concern the Dragon Lord’s Envoy at all.
After all, for all he knew, the Dragon Lord could show up at any time.
To the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, the women on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils might just be seen as a bunch of tools to please the Dragon Lord.
Thinking this, Cheng Guang subdued his aura and passed by the palace.
None of the frolicking women inside the palace noticed Cheng Guang and his group passing by outside their residence.
And even if they had.
It didn’t matter.
After all, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy usually maintained a rather positive image of Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
The women, who seldom left the palace, still believed that there were quite a few Devil Beasts on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
