Chapter 243 Jianjia
Gu Yuchuan stared at the beauty on the bed, his thoughts a jumble of complex emotions. Before long, the clam-woman's eyes twitched; she had woken up. Seeing Gu Yuchuan sitting on the stool while she lay there, she was so frightened that she immediately sat up, her face pale with panic.
"This humble demon greets the Demon King. It was my fault for being so disrespectful. Your Highness is already up, but I was still sleeping. Please forgive me."
Gu Yuchuan reached out and helped her up: "Alright, don't be afraid. I'm not the kind of person who's petty. You were exhausted yesterday, so what's the big deal if you just slept for a while?"
Her hands were cool and soft, and felt very comfortable to touch, which Gu Yuchuan liked. She also felt the heat of his palms, and her eyes became much more alluring.
"What's your name?" He might have asked that question last night, but the alcohol was too strong, and he couldn't remember too many things. He could only remember that he was indeed very happy last night.
"My name is Jianjia. I was chosen by the Xuan Turtle Demon General to serve the Demon King. Rest assured, my lord, although I have studied bedroom arts, last night was indeed my first time. Your Majesty is my first man."
Gu Yuchuan nodded. They were demons, and although they didn't particularly care about this matter, it was undoubtedly a plus and would make him feel more comfortable.
He looked at the other person with sincere eyes: "Alright, do you want to stay and become my concubine, or will I reward you with some things and you can go back and live on your own?"
Terrified, she knelt down again, her face pale and tears streaming down her cheeks: "Please, Your Majesty, don't send me away. I want to stay. I want to be Your Majesty's woman."
The status of the Clam Clan among the aquatic races is not high because they lack combat talent and are at the bottom of their class. Therefore, the Clam Clan has always had to rely on others. Even though she has the strength of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, her status is still not high. Becoming Gu Yuchuan's person is a kind of class advancement for her, and she must seize this opportunity.
Gu Yuchuan hadn't expected that his casual question would cause the other person to cry so bitterly, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
"Alright, don't cry. I don't mean to kick you out. I just respect your choice. Since you're willing to stay, let Bai Ming prepare a feast. Once everyone has eaten, your status will officially change."
Her face was full of smiles. Now that she had become the Demon King's concubine, even Foundation Establishment stage experts would have to be careful around her. She no longer had to worry about being bullied at will. In fact, those who had bullied her in the past would beg for mercy when they saw her.
She leaned into Gu Yuchuan's arms and said, "Your Majesty, I will serve you well from now on."
Her voice was so charming that Gu Yuchuan almost couldn't resist, but he held back. Desire must be controlled; one absolutely cannot let it run wild. That would make one a beast without true self-control. He practiced the Taoist Golden Light Mantra, and if he didn't restrain himself, it would definitely have some effect.
Gu Yuchuan had already informed Bai Ming, and soon Bai Ming came in. Looking at the beauty in Gu Yuchuan's arms, she understood what had happened.
"Bai Ming, this is Jian Jia, who is now my concubine. Prepare a few tables of food. Tonight, we can have a get-together and get to know each other. Arrange a residence for Concubine Yu nearby, in terms of scale and level, just like a Foundation Establishment stage demon general."
Bai Ming nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will make proper arrangements. I wonder if Aunt has any particular preferences regarding her residence?"
Everyone has preferences, and no one is without things they like. However, Jianjia didn't dare to make any demands when facing Bai Ming, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage. She felt that she and Gu Yuchuan didn't have a foundation of affection yet, so she naturally didn't dare to be arrogant because of his favor. You need to be favored to be arrogant, which she didn't have right now. Therefore, she shook her head.
"My lord, I don't have any particular preferences. You can do as you see fit. I trust that what you do will be excellent."
Her attitude startled Bai Ming: "Auntie, you can just call me by my name, Bai Ming. You are the King's woman, and your relationship is legitimate. Although you are only at the Qi Refining stage, you represent the King's face. This is too much for me."
Gu Yuchuan agreed: "Yes, you can just call each other by name. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call her Aunt Yu and her Steward Bai. That would be much more polite. Bai Ming, if Aunt needs anything, as long as it's not too much, just fulfill her request. Don't let anyone give Aunt a hard time. Jianjia, just focus on your cultivation and serving me. Take care of things in your own room. I will arrange two maids for you. As for the matters of the Flood Dragon Palace, don't interfere."
He still wanted to separate the power of his harem from that of the Dragon Palace. He was a man who had read history books. Although interference in politics by the harem was not entirely bad, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. He had already thought it through. From now on, only his queen could express her opinions on political affairs. The rest of the harem members could not for the time being. Jianjia could not set this bad precedent.
Jianjia immediately knelt down. She knew that the king was referring to her: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will be careful and attentive in the future. I will only serve Your Majesty well and will not concern myself with anything else."
It seems that Jianjia is a smart person, and that's enough; he still likes smart people.
The banquet that evening was also very well prepared, so Gu Yuchuan suggested keeping it simple. However, as Gu Yuchuan's first concubine, Bai Ming still took it very seriously, and she even arranged a song and dance performance.
The people doing this were all from within the Flood Dragon Palace, and everyone treated Jianjia very well, since there wasn't a single fool in the entire Flood Dragon Palace.
After the banquet, a night of revelry ensued. This time, he didn't drink too much. He experienced all the sensations and felt incredibly comfortable. No wonder many people were willing to take a clam maiden as a concubine; their race truly knew how to serve others.
The next day, Gu Yuchuan resumed his familiar routine of cultivation and weapon crafting. He wasn't the kind of person who lacked self-control, nor did he indulge in debauchery every night. Time passed quickly, and a month went by. During this month, his cultivation level didn't increase, but he felt that he was almost a mid-level third-grade weapon crafter. However, his cultivation level hadn't reached that point, so he couldn't truly cross over.
