Chapter 1243: Meeting of the Soybean Dynasty

"Oh, right, the Boss said that our Immortal lineage needs to have rules; we can't act like this."

Yun Mengmeng, realizing this belatedly, got off Lu Yang and pulled him up.

"Xiao Yangzi, as the senior brother, you should satisfy your junior sisters' wishes. I, this Immortal, will help you teach Qilin Immortal a lesson."

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi looked at Immortal Fairy with eager anticipation; this was exactly what they had been waiting for.

Lu Yang didn't dare let the situation escalate further: "Hey, Fairy, shouldn't we use words, not force?"

"You mean to scold him? I'm not good at that; I'll have to rely on you."

"We're not good at that either."

"...That's not what I meant!" Lu Yang was sweating profusely in frustration.

"Second Boss, you do the scolding, and I'll learn from the side," Yun Mengmeng said seriously, feeling there was still much she needed to learn from the Second Boss.

"Mengmeng, please learn something good."

"But Second Boss, you are good."

Ying Tianxian, standing by, advised his two good brothers: "Let me tell you, come to Wen Dao Sect more often. It's really lively here; the daily dramas are never the same."

Jiuzhong Immortal and Suiyue Immortal nodded, deeply agreeing. It was livelier than even the ancient times; they had chosen the right place to visit by coming to Wen Dao Sect.

"Three elder brothers, it's been a while since we last met." Qing He finally emerged from the back mountain and greeted Ying Tianxian and the other two.

She also wished to see Immortal Fairy, but she couldn't show her eagerness like Ao Ling and the others. As Immortal Fairy's attendant, her every word and action when out represented Immortal Fairy; she couldn't act rashly or disorderly.

After a chaotic commotion that lasted for quite a while, everyone finally settled down.

They made Tianmen Peak their home, sat on the ground, and began recounting what had happened in Zhongshan County to Ao Ling and the others.

"Coincidentally, my kitchen is here! I'll show you my skills. What would you like to eat? Star core dumplings or chili-filled buns?" Immortal Fairy volunteered again, only to be desperately stopped by everyone.

"We ate gruel quite well in the Buddhist Kingdom, so we won't eat here."

"Really? Your expressions weren't too good when you were eating gruel."

"Immortal, you must have seen wrong."

"I just baked some small cookies; would you like some?" Yun Mengmeng brought out two freshly baked cookies, and the Four Ancient Immortals looked at her gratefully.

"Immortal, stop fussing; we'll just eat these."

Everyone ate the cookies, praising Yun Mengmeng's craftsmanship. Yun Mengmeng had never received so much praise, especially from such important figures, and she giggled foolishly.

"During the ancient times, Yao Sheng committed suicide and insisted on blaming me. I was furious when I heard about it, but unfortunately, I was injured at the time, so I could only borrow Yun's body and gave Yao Sheng a good thrashing..."

Everyone formed a circle, and Immortal Fairy stood in the middle, gesturing with her fists, re-enacting the scene.

Initially, upon learning that Yao Sheng was responsible for everything, Qing He, Ao Ling, and Jiang Lianyi were extremely angry. But seeing Immortal Fairy's gestures and imagining Yao Sheng's disheveled appearance, they burst into laughter.

"Then I got tired of beating him, so I just self-destructed and blew that scoundrel to bits..."

Everyone was beaming with smiles, enjoying themselves.

Finally, Immortal Fairy also mentioned their plan to open the Box World, and Ao Ling and the others expressed their full support without hesitation.

"It's best to inform Zhu Tian about this and have him come for the meeting," Jiang Lianyi said.

Although she was the true ruler of the Demon Realm, she wasn't adept at management. Zhu Tian handled all the specific affairs of the Demon Realm, and it wouldn't do for her to merely listen while others discussed details and precautions during a meeting as the Demon Realm's representative.

Demon Realm, Imperial Palace of Demon City.

Zhu Tian was lazily lying on the imperial throne, reading a newspaper. On either side stood stunning maidservants, holding fruit platters filled with various rare heavenly treasures and exotic fruits, unobtainable even with spirit stones on the market.

Zhu Tian was in a good mood. Ever since opening trade routes with Da Xia, the Demon Realm had rapidly developed through mutual exchange. Da Xia's goods, once expensive in the Demon Realm, were now quite affordable. The demon race praised his good name, hailing him as an enlightened ruler.

"Zhu Tian."

A voice pulled Zhu Tian back to reality, startling him so much that he tumbled off the imperial throne.

The newcomer was, of course, Jiang Lianyi. Zhu Tian dismissed the maidservants and said with a fawning smile, "Sister Jiang, what brings you here? If you needed anything, you could have just sent someone to deliver a message, couldn't you?"

"Something major has happened in the cultivation world recently. The major powers are planning a meeting, and we'll represent the Demon Realm."

"A meeting?" Zhu Tian instinctively felt a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous; they're all familiar faces."

Zhu Tian relaxed upon hearing this. Familiar faces were fine.

Wen Dao Sect, Tianmen Peak.

By the time Zhu Tian arrived at Wen Dao Sect, Senior Sister had already invited Jiang Ping'an, and all attendees were present.

When he saw the lineup for the meeting, his lips trembled, and he looked as if he was about to cry. These "familiar faces" were a bit *too* familiar.

How were the Four Ancient Immortals all here?!

And Immortal Fairy, Yun Zhi, Jiang Ping'an... they were all Immortals. He looked at each of them, confirming their identities without a single mistake.

When he had first awakened, he had been extremely patient, gathering intelligence about the current era. Learning that no Half-Immortals had appeared, and realizing he might be the only one, he decided to declare himself emperor of the Demon Realm.

Now, the number of Immortals was almost greater than the number of Half-Immortals.

Even during the peak of ancient times, it wasn't like this.

"Little Zhu, I hear you're called the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm?" Qilin Immortal waved Zhu Tian over.

Zhu Tian nervously approached, forcing a smile uglier than a cry. If there was one person he feared most, it was Qilin Immortal. He had founded the Demon Empire under Qilin Immortal's name, and at its inauguration ceremony, he had even fought Qilin Immortal's wife.

Moreover, Qilin Immortal was his higher Dao Fruit; the other party could control him with a single thought.

"It's just the minor demons messing around and calling me that! I'll go back and make them shut up right away!" Zhu Tian hastily declared his loyalty.

"Do as you please with that. I heard from young friend Lu that you've managed the Demon Realm quite well. Keep up the good work," Qilin Immortal said, smiling as he patted Zhu Tian's shoulder.

Zhu Tian was taken aback and flattered by Qilin Immortal's words.

Following Senior Brother Lu had indeed been the right path; Senior Brother Lu had even spoken highly of him to Qilin Immortal.

Zhu Tian wanted to thank Lu Yang in person, but he noticed Lu Yang was talking to someone and had to wait.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing?" Lu Yang asked as Yun Mengmeng was hunched over a table, writing something.

"I'm writing identity tags. They're for the meeting."

"Identity tags?"

Lu Yang still didn't understand.

"I'm the Minister of Rites, so it's my duty to prepare these things, of course."

"What does that have to do with today's meeting?"

Yun Mengmeng stood up, counting on her fingers: "Look, the Boss is the Emperor, and you, the Second Boss, are the Pillar State Minister."

"Xiao He is the Royal Chronicler, and sisters Ao Ling, Lianyi, and Caiwei are all Great Generals. I'm the Minister of Rites."

"Xiao Zhi is the Minister of War, Senior Jiang Ping'an is the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, Emperor Xia is the Grand Chancellor, and Zhu Tian is the Minister of Works."

"Isn't this just our Great Bean Dynasty holding a meeting?"

Only after Yun Mengmeng explained did Lu Yang realize that everyone at the meeting, apart from the Four Ancient Immortals, was part of the Great Bean Dynasty.

Truly worthy of the Great Bean Dynasty; everyone held high positions and power, with no idlers among them.

Not to mention idlers, there weren't even any commoners.

Immortal Fairy also thought of this and flew over to the Four Ancient Immortals, asking, "I've established a Great Bean Dynasty. Would you like to join?"

"Great Bean Dynasty?" Jiuzhong Immortal sounded a bit confused. "What official positions would we have if we joined?"

"Commoners."
