The Pinnacle of Life

“The experts are here!” the empress said to Alex as she looked up.

Right after her voice fell, they saw a dense crowd. It was not people, but a group of… Demons!

They were led by a huge crow. Having a human face, a crow’s nostrils and a bird’s body, it looked sleepy with its squinty eyes.

“Hmph! I was wondering who it was. So, it’s Empress Ghast!” The crow recognized Empress Ghast. “If you were in the nether realm, I really couldn’t do anything about you. However, this is Dairaionji Temple. You’ve come to the wrong place! Once you’re here, you can only yield! Empress Ghast, your cultivation is hard to come by and you have the body of a female. I ask of you… Are you willing to become my cultivation partner?”

Empress Ghast burst into a peal of laughter. “Hahaha! What a joke! A pitch-black birdman like you wishes to many me? Even Africans look ten thousand times better than you.”

Alex was surprised. “Empress, you actually know Africa?”

Empress Ghast said, “Before I became Empress Ghast, I lived in Africa for a while and did business there.”

“You actually did international trade over there?”

“Empress, let’s partner up next time.”
