Chapter 644: Chapter 643: Complete Submission

When the massive form of the Black-striped Tiger appeared, Zhang Qing grew visibly excited and called out to the Grand Commander beside him, "Grand Commander, look! It’s Lin Yun and the others."

"Mm..." The Grand Commander nodded softly in acknowledgment. He and Zhang Qing then happily went to greet them.

Under Lin Yun’s direction, the Demon Palace had taken two cities in less than a month. At a glance, it seemed the Demon Palace was once again on equal footing with the Divine Palace.

The two consecutive major victories had sent the morale of the Demon Palace Warriors soaring. Of course, everyone knew they owed it all to Lin Yun.

Not only was his combat power exceptional, but his strategic mind was second to none. In the eyes of the Demon Palace members, Lin Yun was like an omnipotent figure sent from the heavens.

"Brother Lin Yun, you’re finally back! I was worried sick," the Grand Commander said with a hearty laugh upon seeing Lin Yun.

At his words, Lin Yun and the others leaped off the Black-striped Tiger’s back. Cupping his fists toward the Grand Commander, Lin Yun replied, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Commander."

The Grand Commander no longer put on any airs around Lin Yun. On the contrary, he respected him immensely, because Lin Yun had proven with facts that he could lead the Demon Palace to victory.

After inviting Lin Yun’s group into the Demon City, they all proceeded to the great hall in the city’s center. Because they had just retaken two cities, seven of the Demon Palace’s ten Commanders had gone to garrison them. The only ones who remained in the Demon City were the Grand Commander, the Second Commander, and Zhang Qing.

Upon entering the great hall, they found the Grand Commander had already prepared a feast of meat and wine to give Lin Yun a proper welcome.

There were no Demon Beasts in this world to be eaten, so whether it was the Demon Palace or the Divine Palace, the meat they consumed was from livestock they raised themselves, like cattle and sheep.

Furthermore, Martial Artists were not particularly demanding when it came to food. For those who had reached the Celestial Spirit Realm, eating was not even necessary. Most of the time, Martial Artists ate meat and drank wine purely to satisfy their cravings, not to fill their stomachs.

After a round of pleasantries, it was worth noting that the Grand Commander actually arranged for Lin Yun to take the seat of honor. As for the Grand Commander himself, he sat in the seat just below Lin Yun.

In response, Lin Yun started to refuse, "Grand Commander, I am not a member of the Demon Palace. This seat of honor should be yours."

However, hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Grand Commander just laughed heartily. "Brother Lin Yun, you’re mistaken. The Demon Palace’s consecutive victories are all thanks to you. Without you, I’m afraid the Demon Palace would have been wiped out by the Divine Palace long ago. Therefore, besides you, no one else is qualified for this seat."

Since the Grand Commander was so insistent, Lin Yun stopped standing on ceremony and sat directly in the seat of honor. Only after Lin Yun was seated did the Grand Commander, the Monk, and the others take their seats in turn.

After these two great victories, the Second Commander had also let go of the grudge in his heart. He no longer felt the same hatred toward Lin Yun, or even toward the Monk and the others. Of course, the Second Commander had also long since divorced his wife. After all, being cuckolded was something no man could ever feel comfortable with.

The Second Commander didn’t bring up the matter with the Monk and his group, and everyone ate and drank merrily.

Little Ape, sitting beside Lin Yun, took a bite of the ordinary animal meat and his face immediately soured. He whispered to Lin Yun, "Big Brother, this meat is disgusting. Give me some Spiritual Essence Pills. I’d rather eat those."

Hearing Little Ape’s complaint, Lin Yun gave a helpless smile and tossed two Top-grade Spirit Essence Pills to him, as well as one to the Black-striped Tiger.

The meat of ordinary animals was naturally inferior to that of Demon Beasts. Because ordinary meat contained not a shred of Energy, it was nowhere near as delicious.

Lin Yun and his companions didn’t mind, however. As long as there was wine to drink, they were content.

They all chatted idly while gulping down wine. After a few cups, the Monk and Daoist’s lecherous natures surfaced. They whispered a few words into the Grand Commander’s ear, and the Grand Commander revealed a smile that said, ’I’ve already made arrangements.’

Soon, several beauties from the Demon City entered the great hall. While they couldn’t be called stunning, they were certainly fresh and lovely.

Before the young women could even take their seats, the Monk and Daoist each swiftly pulled a beauty to sit beside them, their faces breaking into ecstatic grins.

The Monk and Daoist had struck first. Just as the prettiest of the young women was walking toward Lin Yun, and before he could say a word, Xi Zijin spoke up.

"He doesn’t need anyone. Go attend to those two big lechers."

Hearing Xi Zijin’s words, the young woman was clearly taken aback. Before they came, the Grand Commander had specifically instructed her that her task for the day was to take good care of Lin Yun.

She cast a troubled glance at the Grand Commander. Seeing this, before the Grand Commander could speak, the Monk burst out laughing.

"Little beauty, your sister-in-law is angry! Come over here to Lord Buddha. Don’t get involved in the affairs of a happy couple."

Hearing the Monk’s words, the Grand Commander finally understood. ’So Lin Yun and Xi Zijin are a couple!’ He nodded at the young woman, who then obediently went and sat beside the Monk. In no time, the Monk and Daoist were surrounded by women. To look at the two of them, it seemed these beautiful women were the finest wine in the world.

Surrounded by a bevy of beauties, the Monk and Daoist immediately showed their true colors. Their smiles were utterly sleazy, and their hands roamed restlessly over the young women’s bodies.

And judging by their flushed faces, even though they hadn’t had many cups of wine, they already looked as if they were drunk.

Seeing the Monk and Daoist’s behavior, Lin Yun shook his head with a wry smile. ’A phrase suddenly comes to mind,’ he thought. ’Is this what they call "wine doesn’t intoxicate the man, the man intoxicates himself"?’

As for Xi Zijin, who had been publicly called "sister-in-law" by the Monk, her face was now bright red. She kept her head down, slowly sipping the wine in her cup. She looked like a completely different person from the usual Xi Zijin.

The Monk and Daoist were already lost in their nest of women, while Xi Zijin remained silent, her face flushed. As for Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger, after swallowing the Top-grade Spirit Essence Pills, the two of them were already sound asleep on the side. As Demon Beasts, Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger had no interest whatsoever in human women.

Only Lin Yun, the Grand Commander, and the Second Commander were without female companionship. Even Zhang Qing had now joined in the fun with the Monk and Daoist. To see the three of them, you’d think they regretted not meeting sooner. Zhang Qing was even imitating the Monk and Daoist, hugging a young woman and occasionally leaning in to steal a kiss.

"Brother Lin Yun, let me offer you a toast. I hope you won’t hold the past against me." Ignoring the Monk and the others, the Second Commander raised his cup to Lin Yun.

Seeing this, Lin Yun also raised his wine cup and replied earnestly, "Second Commander, you’re being too formal. Regarding what happened before, it was indeed the Monk and his friends who were in the wrong. But what’s past is past. From now on, let us work together to defeat the Divine Palace."
