"Ah-choo—"
"Ah—choo—!!"
Lin Yun sneezed twice violently, falling off the lounge chair. Ming Li hurried over, terrified, to help him up, her little face full of panic.
I didn't serve my master properly…
Damn it!
It was the very first day of serving Lin Yun, and something like this happened. Ming Li felt utterly hopeless. She even wondered if the next second Lin Yun might punish her, reverting her to her Octagonal Black Ice Grass form and instantly consuming her.
Lin Yun waved his hand, telling Ming Li to step back, then rubbed his nose with a troubled expression. He had been enjoying the sun, and suddenly a wave of intense malice struck him.
He trusted his instincts. When he sensed malice, someone was definitely scheming behind his back!
"Who the hell is cursing me behind my back?" Lin Yun squinted, quickly locking onto a target.
Shrek. It had to be Shrek!
He had personally released the Shrek Chronicles across the continent, helping the ignorant people of Douluo see Shrek's true colors and giving Shrek a fair reputation. And yet, Shrek not only showed no gratitude but dared to insult him behind his back?!
Truly, Shrek is naturally evil! Must eliminate!
"Ten Thousand Demon King!!!" Lin Yun shouted, his eyes filled with deadly intent.
"At your command!" the Ten Thousand Demon King replied instantly. A seed sprouted and formed his figure, bowing before Lin Yun. His true form also rushed toward the Lake of Life.
By the master's order, I will fulfill it to the death!
I, Ten Thousand Demon King, am loyal!
Ming Li, sensing the terrifying killing aura radiating from Lin Yun, slumped helplessly on the grass, completely drained of her vitality.
Even the mighty Ten Thousand Demon King had been summoned—was he really going to punish me, a mere little maid?
Damn it!
Lin Yun didn't notice Ming Li's distraught state. He turned to face the Ten Thousand Demon King, his tone icy: "Our Soul Beast clan helped humans greatly, yet they show no gratitude and even slander me behind my back. Do you understand what must be done?"
The Ten Thousand Demon King straightened his body, shouting, "Understood! All traitors will be pierced by the hottest spear, down to the depths of the Ice Sea! With the master present, all who resist will die in agony!"
"I am willing to lead by example, judge these sinful humans, and kill them all!"
At this, the Ten Thousand Demon King raised his right hand, forming a "wipe them all out" gesture, his eyes flashing the same icy murderous intent as Lin Yun's.
"Tch!" Lin Yun frowned and slapped the back of the Ten Thousand Demon King's head. Frustrated, he said, "Get it together! Stop being so over-the-top!"
"And another thing—when did I say we should kill them all? The people of our Soul Hall are good beings. We only need to teach them a lesson, understand?"
The Ten Thousand Demon King's expression remained solemn as he replied, "Master, I have always been serious! I will follow your instructions one hundred percent!"
This blatant lie, spoken with absolute conviction, was truly a skill inherited from Lin Yun. Who else but a Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest could match Lin Yun's way of thinking?
Well, well, even the Ten Thousand Demon King's demeanor had become strange. Who knows who he learned it from? Ever since Lin Yun became the leader of the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had been preserving their spirit.
Logically, under his leadership, the Soul Beasts should have become cooler and stronger. So why had they all become so… abstract?!
Where exactly did the problem lie?!
Lin Yun fell into deep thought, never realizing that as the leader of the Soul Beasts, he was the most abstract of them all.
As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the lower beams will follow. With such an abstract and defiant leader, the style of the entire Star Dou Great Forest would naturally be skewed—it would be more surreal than Douluo Continent ever becoming romance-free.
If the Ten Thousand Demon King knew what Lin Yun was thinking now, this King of the Demon-Eyed Tree would probably tilt his head, squint, and say: "Master, I must cooperate with your performance, I cannot turn a blind eye."
After a while, Lin Yun finally identified the culprit.
"Shrek. It must be Shrek!" Lin Yun ground his teeth. "Those little bastards, they spend all day trying to slander our Star Dou Great Forest, using every possible trick! Truly a naturally evil, wicked force!"
The Ten Thousand Demon King opened his mouth, then stopped, his expression strained like someone constipated.
Though he also wanted to eliminate Shrek immediately, would it be right to blame all the black marks on him?
"Hm? Ten Thousand Demon King, do you have something to say?" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, letting out a cold snort from his nose.
Lin Yun's piercing gaze made the Ten Thousand Demon King clench tightly.
"Reporting to the master, I fully agree. Shrek is indeed a naturally evil and wicked force that must be eradicated!" The Ten Thousand Demon King changed his face instantly and replied seriously.
Who cares about Shrek when the master's words are most important? To carry out the master's will, Shrek must suffer further!
"Louder! I can't hear you, I really can't!" Lin Yun shouted explosively.
"Your voice is too soft and you still want to restore the Soul Beast clan? Your voice is too soft and you still want to ascend as a Soul Beast god?"
The Ten Thousand Demon King took a deep breath and roared: "The naturally evil Shrek must be eradicated!"
"Good! Very spirited!" Lin Yun chuckled wickedly, pulling out two newly updated books from behind him and handing them to the Ten Thousand Demon King. "Then continue increasing Shrek's difficulty, let the foolish human forces help us get rid of Shrek themselves!"
"Heh heh heh heh… humans are complex, but likewise, if you use the right methods, the human heart is the easiest thing to manipulate!"
"It's been a week—too long! I haven't tampered with Shrek's mindset in a week. If they dare pressure me behind my back today, will they dare to write my unofficial chronicles tomorrow? We must continue intensifying their trials!"
It was only then that Ming Li, her mind still foggy, realized that Lin Yun's killing intent wasn't aimed at her—it was directed at human forces. Even while sunbathing, her master was thinking of how to restore the Soul Beast clan and eliminate human threats.
Master! Forever the best!
Ming Li gazed at Lin Yun's imposing back, her ice-blue eyes sparkling with stars. She never doubted her master's intentions and trusted him completely.
Greatness needs no explanation!
The Ten Thousand Demon King solemnly received the two books Lin Yun handed him: "I will do my utmost to complete the master's task and make sure the naturally evil Shrek disappears completely!"
The four golden characters on the cover gleamed: Source of Life.
