Twisted Dreams-Chapter 197 - 167: Imperial Capital Demon Club
Recently, short videos have been filled with content about the revival of Spiritual Qi.
There are Daoists riding thunder into the sky.
Elder monks on mountaintops inhaling clouds and exhaling fog.
Odd snakes speaking with human voices.
Crows summoning demon snakes in the sky to fight against a giant bald eagle.
A group of red-robed people walking at night, turning to reveal hideous zombie faces.
...
The moment the Security Administration stops regulating supernatural videos, the entire internet will start promoting these things.
No need for deliberate guidance; every marketing account will desperately grab this wave of traffic.
Li Yang continues scrolling through short videos, randomly checking the comment section under one.
"Spiritual Qi revival!!! Awesome!"
"Have you all considered why the authorities no longer block these superstitious messages?"
"Could it really be that Spiritual Qi has revived?"
"Haven’t you heard? Changbai Mountain is closed off; no one’s allowed in."
"Kneeling and begging to learn how to cultivate, I want to cultivate a Golden Core, especially since gold is quite pricey now."
"I told you, this world isn’t that simple."
"I saw a dragon when I was little."
"I saw a dragon when I was young too, even ate it, slightly spicy, called it Weilong."
Many take the revival of Spiritual Qi lightly, joking about it.
Of course, some people firmly believe in the revival of Spiritual Qi.
Li Yang smiles and continues reading the comments.
A hot comment catches his attention.
"Xia Country is really going downhill, openly spreading feudal superstitions!
Unlike us in Meiqi Country, who only trust science!"
A fierce battle of insults is raging under this comment.
"Screw you, get out of Xia Country!"
"Xia Country’s five thousand years of culture is not something you idiots can comprehend!"
"When Xia Country was wearing silk, you were still in animal skins!"
Most of the comments are scolding the commenter.
Almost all Xia Country people, in such situations, don’t care if the authorities are right or wrong, they’d first scold the foreigner.
Just like when Huaqi created an overseas website, aiming to promote Huaqi’s goodness and create a herd of sheep dogs.
Unexpectedly, the brothers who went overseas were either watching videos or arguing with foreigners.
Their brains might be yellow, but their hearts are definitely red.
Li Yang opens the foreigner’s social media account.
Explorer Jason in Xia Country.
This blonde, blue-eyed person from Meiqi Country only has thirty thousand followers.
Most of his videos document life in Xia Country.
Most of it is negative.
For instance, he’d visit a small town but claim it’s a major metropolis in Xia Country.
Or visit a poor village and say this is typical for Xia people.
His pinned video is a screenshot of his ’Explorer Jason’ account in Meiqi.
Though he only has thirty thousand followers on Xia Country’s social media, he has millions in Meiqi!
Li Yang puts down his phone, lights a cigarette.
Gently exhales the smoke, his mind wandering.
A thought forms in his mind.
"Time to plan the next steps."
Li Yang takes out his phone and sends a message to Chen Yuqi.
"Explorer Jason."
Three minutes later, Chen Yuqi replies with two words.
"Imperial Capital."
"Currently in South Sea, has booked a flight to the Imperial Capital three days later."
Then comes detailed address information in the Imperial Capital.
Li Yang raises an eyebrow slightly:
"Imperial Capital?"
That’s the power center of Xia Country.
The Security Bureau, Security Administration, and other top departments are all located there.
Once, there was an idea to establish a Demon Club in the Imperial Capital.
It once left Li Yang feeling intimidated.
Rumor has it, there are four major families in the Imperial Capital, any one of them could turn the former Li Yang into a lab experiment.
Back then, Li Yang was just Tier One, with only a cat, a crow, and a dog under him.
Now things are different, he’s close to Tier Five, with a group of loyal demons.
He no longer sees the combat power of the Demon Club as important, what matters to him are the social resources.
Now, he controls South Sea, using this international metropolis as his strong foundation.
Extraordinaries cultivate and advance, which isn’t difficult.
But controlling vast social resources, that is not easy.
Now he has the capital to test the waters in the Imperial Capital.
For example, starting a Demon Exchange first.
If he succeeds in testing the waters, he can establish the Imperial Capital Demon Club.
Having the two richest and most powerful cities as bases, the Demon Club can truly reach the world’s peak, and sooner ascend to divine status.
"In that case, let’s take a trip to the Imperial Capital."
Li Yang wears a slight smile on his lips.
Calm, confident.
It seems like going to the Imperial Capital to set up a Demon Club among the elite Beijing Circle, Crown Princes, is just a game.
Of course, this game has its dangers, but it’s not fatal.
Suzu hears the words ’Imperial Capital’ and instantly sits up, with wide eyes:
"Imperial Capital?! Just for that Explorer Jason?"
Li Yang gives her a sideways glance:
"Is he worthy?"
A foreign influencer doesn’t have the qualifications to make Li Yang take a trip.
Going to the Imperial Capital, using ’Explorer Jason’s’ fan base abroad to act, is just on the side.
The main focus is the Imperial Capital Demon Club.
Suzu responds with an ’oh’ and quickly says:
"I want to go too!"
She vaguely senses that this trip to the Imperial Capital will be very exciting!
Li Yang frowns:
"You don’t have a human identity; you can’t get on a plane."
Suzu suddenly remembers that Li Yang is quite frugal, even hesitating to top up memberships, so how could he afford a private jet?
Suzu makes a firm decision:
"Then I’ll turn into a cat!"
Li Yang says:
"Then it’ll have to be pet shipment."
Suzu quickly checks her phone to understand what pet shipment is.
Seeing complaints from pet owners online about how dreadful pet shipment is, her little face turns dark.
She puffs up angrily:
"I want to be in the cabin!!!!!!"
Li Yang shakes his head:
"Troublesome."
In Xia Country, South Sea Airlines does allow pets in the cabin.
But the procedures are quite complicated.
Pet dogs are okay, but cats are quite a hassle.
Suzu’s whole face wrinkles up:
"Li Yang, you’ve changed, ever since you got an Enchanting Demon and a Fallen Angel, you don’t like me anymore."
Li Yang looks at Suzu disdainfully:
"You’re not as useful as them, and besides, stop watching shoujo anime."
The Enchanting Demon and Fallen Angel are crucial to the upcoming plan.
Especially the Fallen Angel Chen Yuqi.
Suzu grabs Li Yang’s hand:
"I can help you with a lot of things in the Imperial Capital.
I’m already Tier Three, the Black Witch is really useful, really!"
Li Yang remains unmoved.
Suzu starts rolling and writhing on the carpet:
"I want to go, I want to go, I just want to go!"
It’s not really about wanting to play in the Imperial Capital, she just wants to follow Li Yang.
Ever since she could remember, she’s been with Li Yang, she can’t be without him!
No, Li Yang can’t do without her!
Li Yang can’t handle her tantrum.
He’s afraid that once in the Imperial Capital, she’ll keep visiting him in his dreams.
Perhaps he’s spoiled her too much, he can’t bring himself to really discipline her.
She’s one of the few family members he has, after all.
Besides, the Black Witch could be useful in the Imperial Capital too.
Li Yang snaps his fingers.
A silly-looking crow, not as nimble as Great Black, flies in from outside.
This is Li Yang’s messenger crow for contacting Apostles.
A magic mark imprints on the crow’s head, and it flies outward.
This crow is going to find Du Yangming.
Carrying a cat onto a plane, the cumbersome procedures will soon be resolved. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Fortunately, Suzu is a black domestic cat, the procedures won’t be too strict.
He has Du Yangming come to the villa for some instructions.
Once Li Yang goes to the Imperial Capital, he might frequently summon the Apostles, so the South Sea Demon Club will need a Great Demon Lord to lead.
