No Two Suns in the Sky, Demonkin of the Fifth Realm, The Attacking Demon Lord of the Eastern Extre!
“What does this an, Jia Loulan?”
“And what does it an to send us an unripe lon?”
In the Eastern Extre Demon Kingdom, atop a white tower, a turtle-headed demonkin looked anxiously at the sovereign of the Eastern Extre Demon Kingdom, with whom he had stood for thousands of years.
At that mont, in front of the old Demon Dragon, on the desk lay the return gift from Yi Chen, brought by the Turtle Demon—an egg-sized raw lon.
Regarding Yi Chen’s refusal, the Eastern Extre Demon Lord did not show the rage that the Turtle Demon Pri Minister of the Eastern Extre Demon Kingdom had anticipated; instead, he beca rather interested in studying the waterlon before him.
“Old Turtle, tell , what does Jia Loulan an now?”
“You must not say you do not know!”
After studying it for a long while and finally determining that it was an untouched raw lon egg, the Eastern Extre Demon Lord finally turned his gaze to his old advisor beside him.
Knowing well the nature of the Turtle Demon, he even prepared beforehand by cutting off his way to retreat.
Without this comnt, he knew he would once again receive so proper nonsense.
“Since Your Majesty is interested, this old servant will dare to speak a few words off the top of his head.
My wisdom is indeed not as vast as Yours, and if there are any inaccuracies, I ask Your Majesty for your forgiveness.”
Having served for many years, the Turtle Demon, who was well aware of the traits of the Eastern Extre Demon Lord, knew this was not the ti to shirk responsibility.
He made a bow with a worried expression, giving himself a layer of armor before continuing,
“Your Majesty, this old servant thinks that Jia Loulan, though seemingly rough, is actually ticulous in his thinking.”
“Now, it seems that his previous venture to Youcheng was in fact because he had taken a fancy to that place’s defiant demonkin.
Without the talents among those demonkin of the Gohong Highlands, Jia Loulan could not have made such a sensation in such a short ti.”
“From the Gohong Highlands’ Youcheng, choosing the timing of the Four Great Demon Kingdoms’ Demon Lords attacking the Human Realm to snatch the Blood Vein Old Demon’s Secret Technique, then widely spreading the Secret Technique, causing chaos in the Demon Realm, followed by that suprely beautiful and powerful Azure Lance, Selena of Youcheng joining him, and finally the grand rise of the Demon Righteous Church.”
“These events, one by one, my lord, when this old Turtle connects them together, every recollection sends chills down my spine.”
“Jia Loulan, this demon, never acts in vain or makes aningless moves, especially his mastery of timing, which is simply exquisite.”
“Without the Four Great Demon Lords attacking the Human Realm, this rogue would not have been able to obtain the Secret Technique from the Blood Vein Old Demon; without that Secret Technique, he couldn’t have shaken the Demon Realm nor could he have rallied the vast Demon Righteous Church and swayed the one from Youcheng.”
“We four Great Demon Kingdoms compromised with each other, and did not wish for those demons who resisted us to have no place to live, much like a pot for cooking rice that needs a vent, which is why we left the Gohong Highlands, thinking of taking action when the ti was ripe.”
“Never did we imagine, after many years of nurturing hawks, that this rogue has now plucked the peaches.”
“Get to the point, this throne knows all this; what does all this have to do with the raw lon egg that Jia Loulan gave this throne?” The Eastern Extre Demon Lord tapped on the table, his expression slightly displeased.
“Your Majesty, the aforentioned verbosity was to deduce a conclusion.”
“The formidable ingeniousness of Jia Loulan ans he never acts in vain.”
“In returning gifts to the three Demon Lords, he was actually sending a signal to the Three Great Demon Kingdoms to cease fighting.”
“There is an old human proverb, I’m not sure if Your Majesty has heard it.”
“Planting lons under the Yellow Platform, where the lons ripen and the seeds scatter.”
“Picking them once makes the lons fine, picking them again makes the lons scarce.”
“Picking them thrice is still possible, but picking them completely leaves only empty vines to hold.”
“This old servant dares to guess, by giving the three Demon Lords this immature lon, Jia Loulan is signaling a ceasefire and also warning Your Majesty that the Human Realm, the real lon, is not yet ripe.
If the Demon Lords continue their attacks, the loss will be heavy, only causing pain to loved ones and joy to enemies.”
“Now, having taken the lon of the Western Extre Demon Kingdom, replacing the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, he has proven his strength.
His gesture of giving the lon is looking forward to Your Majesty’s response.”
“Is it war, or peace?”
“Is it waiting together for the lon to ripen, to harvest together the sweet, big lon of the Human Realm, or to smash one’s own immature lon to pieces?”
“As for not agreeing to Your Majesty’s conditions previously, this old servant guesses Jia Loulan is very confident, hoping to control the situation himself.”
“This rogue, blunt yet ticulous, firm yet flexible, resisted Your Majesty’s suggestion to release the Blood Moon Demon Wolf, yet sent the Vice Sect Hierarch Selena to deliver the lon, likely intending to tell the three Demon Lords that he, Jia Loulan, is calling a ceasefire not under duress but from a position of strength.”

“Indeed, Old Turtle, your words are profound.”
“This king feels the sa, yet after hearing your explanation, it all becos much clearer.”
The Old Turtle’s argunt was flawless, well-prepared, analytical, drawing classical references, and penetrating to the heart, leaving the Eastern Extre Demon Lord nodding repeatedly.
He looked towards the distant flowing clouds and could not help but sigh,
“In a great era of conflict, where hundreds of ships vie on the river, the Human Realm has ruled heaven and earth for countless years, and now, the last remnants of this era have produced individuals like Ying Si and Yue Qingping.”
“And the Great Qin State Master Yi Chengzi, a figure of this era, as well.”
