The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 106: The nameless town

Most of the demons who lived in this nameless town were old and dying. They disliked noise and they hated travelers. Their only joy in life was carving rocks and boulders, because of which, the whole town sometimes seemed like a huge marketplace for stone statues.

However, most of the sellers were hiding inside their homes and there was not even a single buyer in sight so it was more accurate to call it an abandoned marketplace for stone statues.

The first time Hua Tianshu came to this nameless town, he frowned and slightly disliked the place, but now that he was here again, he couldn’t help but feel a little elated. The reason for his sudden change of mind was simple—this town was filled with statues of the demon king.

Previously, Hua Tianshu held no admiration for the demon king but now that the demon king and Jie Fu Lian were the same person, Hua Tianshu couldn’t help but love everything about that person. Of course, if Shen Fang were to return and Jie Fu Lian were to leave the demon king’s body, Hua Tianshu’s mind would also revert back to his original feelings of dislike towards the demon king.

The only person he liked was Jie Fu Lian and it didn’t matter what face or form the man had, as long as it was Jie Fu Lian, he would love him unconditionally. If tomorrow, Jie Fu Lian were to turn into a rock, Hua Tianshu would undoubtedly become like Sect Master Yao Fei and polish the rock every day with great love and care. Actually, he would prefer it if that were the case since a rock couldn’t run away nor die.

As soon as he entered the nameless town, Hua Tianshu started running around like a little child that was going out to the market for the first time.

He excitedly knocked on the door of a few houses and without needing to get a response from the owners hiding inside, he announced loudly, "I want to buy these statues! All of them!"

A minute passed and suddenly, the main doors of all the houses opened in unison.

For the first time, the seemingly nameless ghost town came alive.

One of the demons that came out, frowned as he looked at Hua Tianshu from top to bottom and analyzed him carefully as he asked, "All of them...?"

Hua Tianshu smiled as he proudly nodded his head and spoke, "All the statues that are based on the demon king and the great immortal Jie Fu Lian."

Every demon living in this nameless town was immediately shocked to hear his words.

Although they hated noise and travelers, there was still something that they just couldn’t come to dislike and it was buyers who seemed genuinely interested in the statues they made.

"Oye, Young Lad! Come over here," One of the demons called out to him. It was an old woman who smiled brightly at Hua Tianshu as she spoke, "If you buy from me, I’ll give you a big old discount."

Seeing the woman jumping in head first and grasping the opportunity, another demon cried out, "Come here. I have more statues of the Supreme demon venerable!"

Soon, there were even more joining in and it became quite noisy as everyone started shouting over each other, trying to attain Hua Tianshu’s attention.

Hua Tianshu only softly smiled and one by one, he visited all the small shops of stone statues and as he had declared, he started buying everything that was based on the demon king and Jie Fu Lian.

There were many thousands of statues based on the demon king but surprisingly enough, there were also many hundreds that were based on Jie Fu Lian.

Jie Fu Lian had a bad reputation in the mortal realm, but in the demon realm, he was quite a famous personality and was admired by many. One couldn’t name a specific reason why he was so admired in the demon realm. In fact, there were more than one or two reasons.

Jie Fu Lian was a half-demon and hence, he could control both demonic Qi and spiritual Qi. The only other person who had the same ability was the demon king and since Shen Fang was so widely respected, Jie Fu Lian was also respected simply because the two shared an ability.

Excluding this, there was also the fact that Jie Fu Lian practiced the art of controlling spirits which was made by immortal Xue Lan, the only known cultivator to ever fall in love with a demon and give up everything in order to stay with the one he loved. The love story of Xue Lan was much more famous in the demon realm than it was in the mortal realm and many people considered Jie Fu Lian to be Xue Lan’s successor which added to Jie Fu Lian’s fame.

There were also many rumors and stories about Jie Fu Lian that people often liked to talk about. One such story was about the time when the demon king had personally visited the mortal realm as a cat in order to test Jie Fu Lian and surprisingly enough, he returned with a smile, praising Jie Fu Lian for passing the test. This story, although a bit exaggerated, was based on facts and Hua Tianshu could naturally testify to that since he had also been there when it happened.

Since the demon king Shen Fang had personally sealed away Jie Fu Lian’s demonic Qi, there were many that believed that Jie Fu Lian was actually Shen Fang’s son, but of course, this was just a rumor that was never proven. However, although this was a rumor, even Hua Tianshu had wondered if there was a possibility for it to be true.

There were many more rumors and all of them combined made Jie Fu Lian quite famous in the demon realm.

At the end of the day, Hua Tianshu ran out of money and ended up with approximately eight thousand stone statues that almost filled up his spatial ring.

After having had a ridiculously good day of sale, most of the demons who lived in this nameless town were grinning from ear to ear and acted extremely friendly towards Hua Tianshu.

Some offered food while others offered to let him stay at their house.

They had already guessed that he was a cultivator, but they felt no animosity towards him.

For them, he was a rich buyer who was very generous and made them rich as well so how could they ever hate him...?

Slowly, all the demons started going back to their homes and Hua Tianshu also made arrangements to stay at a small inn that was located inside the nameless town.

When he was done buying all the stone statues, he suddenly remembered why he had come here and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when he realized he had done nothing in order to find the fake ’art of controlling spirits’ cultivation manual.

However, it was late and he was tired so he decided to go to his room and rest.

Just as he was about to leave, a rather old man approached him and pulled his sleeve back. With a suspicious face, the man looked at him and whispered, "I also have a few statues that you might be interested in. I have it hidden away so you’ll need to follow me."

Hua Tianshu had already run out of money but when he heard this, he felt a little curious and asked, "Why did you hide it away?"

The man innocently blinked and spoke in a matter-of-fact manner, "Because they can’t be shown in public."

Hua Tianshu felt even more interested.

This could have been a trap and Hua Tianshu might be putting himself in danger by following this suspicious man, but although he was aware of his own situation, curiosity got the best of him and he still followed the man.

The man led him to his house and took him to a hidden room underground that was filled with stone statues covered with sheets of plain cloth.

The man uncovered the stone statues and Hua Tianshu immediately fell speechless.

"These are all statues of demon venerable Shen Fang playing with his concubines," The man proudly exclaimed.

The man expected Hua Tianshu to be extremely interested in buying these statues as well but contrary to his expectations, Hua Tianshu frowned and glared at the statues with unhidden hostility.

"Just a silver piece for one," The man hurriedly spoke, wanting to sell the raunchy statues.

Hua Tianshu took off two of his jade rings and threw them over to the man.

The man happily caught the two jade rings with a wide grin on his face, "Young Man, you would certainly not regret buying these ones. You can look at them whenever you feel lonely and-"

"Destroy them."

"Eh...?"

Hua Tianshu took out his sword and without a care in the world, he crushed and broke every single stone statue that contained a naked Shen Fang enjoying his time with his concubines. However, he did it in a manner where only the statues of the concubines were crushed, leaving the statues of the demon king completely intact.

The old man looked at Hua Tianshu with his eyes wide open and a gaping mouth that could not say anything.
