Chapter 697: Chapter 696: There’s Nothing Wrong with a Woman Living for Herself
Su Ji had never seen such a scene before and was stunned in place.
Mianmian, on the other hand, was quite accepting and even waved to Su Ji, saying, "Su Ji, you’re here."
Su Ji responded blankly, "Yeah, I, I’m here."
He hesitated for a moment but still greeted the various consorts, "I’ve seen Imperial Noble Consort, I’ve seen all the Noble Consorts."
The Imperial Noble Consort, who was hugging Mianmian, waved her hand indifferently upon hearing this, "Mmm, there’s no need for formalities. What brings Little Prince to find Mianmian?"
Her tone was very much like Mianmian was her only family.
Su Ji was baffled by this attitude and took a while before saying, "Grandson came to see her because I was worried she might be bored in the Sleeping Palace, but seeing the Noble Consorts here, she must not be bored."
Only after finishing the grapes in her mouth did Mianmian reply to Su Ji, "Yes, I’m not bored at all, the Noble Consorts are very good to Mianmian."
Let’s not even mention the fruits on the table; these Noble Consorts had also gotten her a lot of toys. Things like the nine linked rings, shuttlecock, and little windmills. In short, there was nothing she could think of that the Noble Consorts couldn’t get for her.
Every meal was very enthusiastic; they insisted on feeding her.
The only thing that made Mianmian unhappy was that the Noble Consorts loved pinching her face too much. They would pinch her face every time, also saying that she didn’t have enough flesh and needed to gain more.
Seeing that Mianmian really wasn’t bored, Su Ji explained awkwardly, "Mianmian, lately I’ve been working hard on my cultivation, and I’ve been trying to comprehend the cultivation treasures that Grand Emperor gave me, so I didn’t come here to see you."
Mianmian nodded understandingly, then suddenly broke free from the Imperial Noble Consort’s lotus-like arms and rushed to Su Ji, saying, "Mianmian knows that your Grand Emperor and you are both busy, but I still want to ask, has that Pig Minister found suitable bodies for our Daddy and Mother yet?"
Su Ji shook his head, "There’s no news; I asked, and it seems they haven’t found one yet. After all, such matters also require the consent of the other party, otherwise it becomes a forced occupation of someone’s body."
Mianmian thought so too.
If they were to use a body, the original soul would still be in it. They must also be willing to use it.
Since this was the case, she decided not to press the issue for the time being and to work hard on her own cultivation progress!
That way, when she was with Daddy and Mother in the future, she could protect them and prevent the previous incidents from ever happening again.
The two little ones exchanged a few more insights on cultivation, chatting happily, when someone came over to say the Demon Emperor was looking for Su Ji.
Su Ji then went with that person to see the Demon Emperor.
In Mianmian’s case, without Su Ji’s interruption, she also took the initiative to say, "Pretty Sisters, Mianmian is also going to practice cultivation."
In the Demon Clan, nobody sucked the spiritual power out of her, but when she cultivated, the surrounding demons seemed quite fond of cultivation as well. Mianmian didn’t know why but assumed those demons were just showing affection for her.
These cultivating demons included the Demon Emperor’s consorts. Seeing Mianmian sitting cross-legged and absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, they would practice with her.
The Demon Emperor would also come and sit beside her to cultivate, without disturbing anyone.
"Why is Mianmian working so hard at her cultivation?" the Imperial Noble Consort stretched her long legs lethargically, her expression showing incomprehension, "Here in the Demon Clan, with us protecting you, you are very safe."
Although they were palace consorts, they were very capable even before becoming consorts, not the kind of demons who were weak.
If Mianmian were bullied, they were still capable of putting up a fight.
Mianmian was aware that Pretty Sister was concerned about her and cheerfully replied, "Because in the future, Mianmian has to protect Mother."
With that, Mianmian patted her chest, showing a "I’m great" expression.
The consorts melted at Mianmian’s expression, laughing prettier than any flowering blossoms.
How could anyone not like such a dutiful and adorable little girl with such sweet words? At least these female demons, who had lost their children and were bored every day, loved her. After all, the constant competition was just for the chance to bear the Demon Emperor’s child, so that in the future, their status could be elevated through their offspring.
Now, since none of them could have children, and the Demon Emperor had not lifted a new demon woman to be a consort after his eldest son died, wouldn’t they play with the only child in the Palace, Mianmian, rather than fighting each other endlessly?
"Good Mianmian, truly dutiful."
"If our children had survived, maybe they would be just as dutiful."
"Let’s not talk about it. Those few noble consorts’ children weren’t that dutiful either."
Mianmian heard Pretty Sisters talking about children and suddenly remembered something her Mother had said, and she blurted out, "Pretty Sisters, don’t be sad, you’re so good, you should be happy every day. It’s good to have children, but even without children, you are still you, and a woman should be herself."
"Oh, can little Mianmian even say such philosophical words?" One consort covered her lips to smile, "Suddenly, I feel like little Mianmian has grown up."
Mianmian brought out the Soul Lamp, "It’s something Mianmian’s Mother said. In the village, there’s a widow who’s still happy by herself every day. Some people said, since her husband and child are dead, she should follow them. But Mother told Mianmian that every person is independent, and it’s not wrong for a woman to live for herself."
"Your mother is quite a remarkable person."
The Imperial Noble Consort had secretly visited the world of the Human Race before and knew that there were many restrictions on women there. In such an environment, for Mianmian’s mother to say that a woman is an independent entity and that living for oneself is not wrong was indeed admirable to the demoness.
She clapped her hands, "If little Mianmian understands such reasoning, we shouldn’t be clueless. Sisters, let’s cultivate; strength is indeed our own."
A room full of female demons began to cultivate in the sun, following Mianmian.
When the Demon Emperor entered the Sleeping Palace, he saw such a scene.
He didn’t think much of it.
There were no children in the Harem, and as female demons have strong maternal instincts, treating Su Mianmian as an emotional investment and pampering her in play was quite normal.
Soon, the Demon Emperor also found a spot and sat down to cultivate with Mianmian.
A lot of Spiritual Qi quickly gathered around Mianmian; she absorbed some, and the surplus wandered around her.
This surplus of Spiritual Qi couldn’t enter Mianmian’s body and was soon absorbed by the nearby Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor was on Mianmian’s left, closest to her. The Imperial Noble Consort was on her right, also quite close.
Feeling the decrease of Spiritual Power, the Imperial Noble Consort opened her eyes and glanced to see that the Demon Emperor had arrived, her lips pressing downward slightly.
She had not understood why she found her days boring until she heard what Mianmian had just said.
The females of the Demon Clan could possess strength on their own, yet so many outstanding sisters had to serve the same man, lacking independence and autonomy. It would be better to cultivate diligently. With the tradition of the Demon Clan that the strong are respected, maybe they could even be emperors themselves for a change, couldn’t they?
The first rulers of the Demon Clan were female demons, weren’t they?
