In a small tavern in Black Flood Dragon City, East Sea, a place that hosted passing demon races from north and south, the main hall was already filled with all sorts of demons.
Since most demon races from the sea were enormous, some so large they were comparable to a city, they had all transformed into human form upon entering the tavern.
Those like Flying Fish, who could not yet transform into human form, had also shrunk their bodies to enter the establishment.
As for the demons too weak to transform or shrink, they were blocked outside by a rather narrow door.
Flying Fish entered the tavern and found a crowded spot, joining a table with others.
There had never been any sages among the demon races, lacking in education and understanding of etiquette.
When they gathered, there were no rules or decorum, and everyone was very casual.
A male demon at the same table extended his furry, large hand and casually squeezed the body of a female demon who had transformed.
"Big sister, your figure is truly robust!"
The female demon proudly puffed out her chest and said, "Everyone says so!"
Upon hearing this, several male demons at the table reached out to squeeze her, offering compliments, which made the female demon quite proud.
Flying Fish, having always followed Xiao Fei and grown up in human society, felt embarrassed to participate in such indecent group behavior.
"What? Little brother, you seem to look down on this sister?"
Among the dozen or so demons at the table, only Flying Fish had not reached out to squeeze or compliment, which the female demon interpreted as looking down on her.
"Big sister, you misunderstand. I just entered and haven't washed my hands, and I'm afraid of dirtying your body," Flying Fish could only awkwardly offer an excuse.
"Hahaha... Little brother is truly a particular demon! Come find me on East Street tonight."
The demoness laughed heartily, her entire body trembling with laughter.
"Thank you for your appreciation, big sister. Little brother will do his utmost!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Flying Fish dared not casually refuse the kindness of a demoness now.
This matter was temporarily concluded, and soon, everyone resumed their idle chatter about everything under the sun.
"Fellow Daoists, do you know that many demon seeds have recently appeared in the East Sea? As far as I know, hundreds of fellow Daoists have already been parasitized by demon seeds."
A man with a face full of whiskers said, after taking a large gulp of wine, his face filled with worry.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but many races in the East Sea have now encountered demon seed parasitism. The numbers definitely far exceed hundreds."
Another demon with a lobster head said.
"I heard that quite a few people in the Black Flood Dragon clan have also been parasitized by demon seeds."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly find Doctor Xiao on Meteor Island! Only he can cure this condition."
"Alas! Fellow Daoist, you might not know, but Meteor Island is currently under siege by demons. There's no way to find Doctor Xiao!"
Flying Fish, who had just taken a large gulp of spirit wine, was enraged upon hearing this. He fiercely slammed a wing onto the table, making a loud thud that startled several surrounding tables of demons, who all turned to look.
Flying Fish, as if slightly drunk, shouted loudly.
"The demons have great ambitions. They are preparing to eliminate humanity first, and now they are eagerly moving to attack us demon races of the East Sea!"
"To think of eliminating us East Sea demon races like they did humanity is a pipe dream!"
"I believe we should take the initiative now. First, we should find and isolate all our tribesmen who have been parasitized by demon seeds to prevent them from turning into demons.
Then, while they are still unstable, we should directly crush the demons."
Fueled by the wine, Flying Fish spoke with righteous indignation, and the demons in the tavern felt the same.
Especially with the sudden appearance of a large number of demon seeds recently, making it impossible for the demons to guard against.
These things were difficult for divine sense to detect, and there was no sensation at first when they invaded the body. Then, the demon seeds grew gradually, using their bodies as nourishment.
This made many East Sea demons tremble every day, with a sense of crisis growing in their hearts, fearing they might be infected by a careless mistake.
"Alas! In the past, we could still find Doctor Xiao. Now that Meteor Island is under siege, if Doctor Xiao is killed by the demons this time, and if we are parasitized by demon seeds in the future, we can only wait for death!"
"Why don't we go to Meteor Island now and rescue Doctor Xiao?"
A demon tentatively suggested. Several of his family members had been parasitized by demon seeds, and if Doctor Xiao could be rescued, it would naturally be for the best.
"Rescuing Doctor Xiao now is not an easy task. Meteor Island is guarded by over a dozen demon Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Yes! If we force our way in, it will inevitably lead to a great battle with the demons!"
"Damn it! If they want to fight, let's fight!"
"The demons have wolfish ambitions. Once they finish dealing with humanity, there will inevitably be a war with us East Sea demon races. It's better to take the initiative and control the situation!"
"..."
Flying Fish had only subtly stirred the pot, immediately setting the tone. He didn't need to speak further.
Because this matter directly concerned the safety of the East Sea demon races, it made many demons uneasy.
No one could guarantee that they and their loved ones would not be parasitized by demon seeds.
Since the demons had already launched a large-scale attack on the East Sea demon races, it was inevitable that the future relationship between the two sides would be difficult to resolve.
Moreover, with the fierce nature of the East Sea demon races, they were not the type to be bullied.
Seeing that the situation had developed to a certain extent, Flying Fish quietly slipped out of the tavern.
Meteor Island was very dangerous now, and he still had many places to go, with a difficult mission ahead.
As for the big sister who had invited him to meet tonight, he could only regret her kind offer for now.
However, as soon as Flying Fish slipped out of the tavern, a robust female demon chased after him and grabbed his tail!
"Little brother! Why are you leaving without a word? Do you look down on this sister?"
Flying Fish knew it was the bold big sister chasing after him without even looking back.
"Big sister, I have something to attend to right now. Little brother will personally come to your place tonight."
"Sister suddenly feels the urge. How about we do it now?"
This big sister seemed quite eager. She pulled Flying Fish to a tree by the roadside and was about to fulfill her desires.
The demon races, unburdened by etiquette, acted without reservation. No demon would feel anything was wrong.
But Flying Fish, having been taught by Xiao Fei, could not possibly do something so beastly. However, he couldn't refuse outright now, fearing that it would escalate the situation and expose his identity.
"Big sister, I've recently learned a new way to play, it's extremely exciting, want to try?"
As Flying Fish spoke, he took out a red rope and a whip.
"Let's try it! I didn't expect little brother to have so many tricks!"
Upon seeing the red rope, the robust big sister's heart couldn't help but quicken.
...
A quarter of an hour later, the robust female demon was tied up tightly, with each knot appearing extremely skillful.
Flying Fish tried lashing the robust female demon a few times with the whip, causing the demoness to cry out.
"Big sister! I am truly sorry, but I am still a child!"
Flying Fish threw down the whip and then fled in a flash...
