The tree demon grandma was choked by this self-righteous recognition.
She probably doesn't understand the mentality of an old father who thinks "my daughter is the best in the world."
However, this did not prevent her from re-evaluating Qingluo's position in Jiang Lin's mind.
Jiang Lin asked her, "Tree demon, why did you come to Black Mountain?"
The tree demon grandmother was not surprised by his question, and she put forward the words she had prepared long ago: "The Lord of Black Mountain is famous, and we little demons admire him. I am willing to lead all the demons in Lanruo Temple to follow you and serve you as our master."
Jiang Lin chuckled softly, put down the teacup in his hand, and nodded: "Okay."
The tree demon grandma was delighted. She never expected that things would go so smoothly.
She was about to say something nice, but Jiang Lin spoke first the next moment: "Follow is definitely not just a verbal statement, right? So what? Blood oath? Heart demon oath? Or master-servant contract? Choose one?"
Huaiyin was shocked, and then became furious.
The demon race has a good reputation, and her tree demon grandma is not some unknown little monster.
A monster of her strength is willing to give up her status and become a follower of other monsters. No matter how big the monster is, he will feel very proud because it means that his strength is recognized.
Once a demon is willing to be a follower, it will be difficult for her to establish her own clan and become a powerful demon that dominates a region. When others mention her, they will only say that this demon is a vassal of other powerful demons.
Huaiyin is an ambitious woman. If the situation wasn't really dangerous, she would not be willing to give up her face and compromise.
Who knew Jiang Lin would say such words!
She showed an offended look on her face and said angrily, "Lord of Black Mountain, if you look down on Lanruo Temple, just say so directly. Why do you have to humiliate me?"
Once those vows were made, she would never be able to turn things around in front of Jiang Lin in this life.
Jiang Lin quietly watched her expression change, and said calmly: "I am not an unreasonable demon, and I don't like fighting and killing. If you don't want to, I won't make it difficult for you, please do as you please."
Huaiyin was startled and wanted to say something, but Jiang Lin said indifferently: "Green boy, white boy, show the guest out." He didn't even give Huaiyin a chance.
The green boy and the white boy were the two little boys who had led them earlier.
Huaiyin didn't expect Jiang Lin to be so straightforward. She was obviously unwilling to go back like this. Her old enemy could ambush her on the road at any time. In her current state, if she met him, the result would be no suspense.
She turned her thoughts and looked at the eight beautiful ladies behind her. She softened her tone and pointed at them, "Sir, these eight are the maids of my Lanruo Temple. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They admire the king and volunteered to stay and serve him."
Jiang Lin did not refuse verbally, but asked: "Oh?"
Seeing this, Huaiyin thought Jiang Lin was interested and quickly gave him a look.
The eight beautiful ladies then came over, bowed to Jiang Linying, and introduced themselves.
Jiang Lin was indeed somewhat interested in them, but this interest was not in them themselves.
He was simply curious about who Nie Xiaoqian was. Originally, he thought that the heroine would have a different aura that would allow others to recognize her at a glance in the crowd.
But when Jiang Lin looked at these eight beauties, he couldn't tell what was special about any of them except that they all looked good.
However, after the eight beauties were introduced, Xiaoqian, as Jiang Lin had imagined, was not there.
He was slightly disappointed and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go back."
Huaiyin:
She asked unwillingly, "Sir, don't you have any favorites?"
Jiang Lin sighed and looked at her disappointedly: "Can they farm? Can they build houses? Or can they plan and build?"
Huaiyin: ?
Jiang Lin couldn't hide his disdain: "Besides having a pretty face, what else can you do?"
Huaiyin:
Isn't being beautiful enough
She is a witch, and sometimes she feels proud and appreciative when she looks at these beautiful girls under her. Black Mountain witch, is farming the only thing on your mind? Are you still a man
She was so angry that her injury almost relapsed. She left without saying anything more.
After the tree demon grandma and her group left, the system that had disappeared for a long time suddenly popped up and asked in confusion: "Didn't you want to recruit them before? Why did you drive them away?"
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "System, I found that you were not there when I often looked for you. How come you remember everything I said?"
His tone was full of suspicion, and there was a sense of questioning, "Have you been secretly spying on me?"
The system proved its innocence: "No, I was asleep most of the time, and I just woke up and heard what you said."
He was afraid that Jiang Lin would not believe him, so he pointed out: "Don't worry, I will automatically close my five senses for all matters involving privacy."
Jiang Lin believed him for the time being, mainly because he had no evidence if he didn't believe him.
He answered the system's previous question: "If I accept her so easily, this locust tree demon must have its own plans in mind. It is better to let her go back and feel the beating from her old enemy, so that she can truly realize that only I can save her life. Only then can she give up those dark thoughts and be willing to serve me."
The system hesitated and asked, "What if she is really dead?"
Jiang Lin said indifferently: "If he's dead, he's dead. I didn't kill him."
system:"… "
"But I don't think so." Jiang Lin added, "After all, she is one of the most important villains in this world. How could she die at the hands of a road monster that doesn't even have a name?"
System: ...It is well-reasoned and hard to refute.
It might be a few days before the locust tree demon comes to Black Mountain again. During these days, Jiang Lin was in seclusion, using the Nine Spirit Technique to transform Black Mountain's demon body.
Three days later, Jiang Lin opened his eyes from his meditation.
All the demons near the Black Mountain area noticed that the Black Mountain, which was shrouded in black fog all year round, suddenly changed. The evil spirit in the mountain dissipated, and the gentle wood-type spiritual power swept across the entire Black Mountain.
The demons were shocked and confused, not sure whether some powerful monster or god had come to Black Mountain, or whether the old demon of Black Mountain had got some opportunity and mastered some powerful new skill.
The demons and ghosts did not dare to act rashly, but the unintelligent beasts did not care about that.
Previously, the Black Mountain was filled with evil spirits and surrounded by dark fog, so the beasts were afraid to approach it. But now, they just felt that this mountain was filled with the atmosphere they liked, and they moved in with their families.
In just two days, Montenegro became much more lively than before.
Jiang Lin counted the days and felt that it was about time, so he waved to Qingluo: "Qingluo, come, let's go somewhere with Dad."
"Where are you going?"
"A place called Lanruo Temple."
When Jiang Lin arrived at Lanruo Temple, he only felt the demonic energy rising into the sky.
In the inner courtyard of the dilapidated temple, there is a tall locust tree with all its branches and leaves dried up, and it looks like it is almost dead.
