Although it is known that some animals undergo sex reversal and change into the other sex in order to reproduce their species.
For example, if a flock of hens is without a rooster for a long time, some hens will turn into roosters. This phenomenon also occurs in aquatic animals such as eels and clownfish.
Who would have thought that Itsumade would also have this kind of habit!?
Although, according to the leader, this kind of thing would only happen before transformation, and would not happen after transformation.
It seems that I, as the leader of the monsters of Okusanzan, must quickly shoulder the responsibility of making the Itsuten clan even more prosperous!
Furthermore, we must find a way to get those monsters that haven't yet taken human form to do so as soon as possible!
If the Itsumade clan itself has male birds, Natsuhiko would naturally not have such thoughts, but to change the sex of the originally female Itsumade must be a huge pain, both psychologically and physiologically!
In order to ensure the prosperity of the Itsumade race, I must work harder!
As long as I can help them produce male offspring, these lovely Itsumades won't have to suffer the pain of sex reassignment!
Thinking of this, Xia Yan felt a sense of urgency and mission.
Although he had gained the allegiance of the Itsumade clan, Xia Yan's goal was to bring the entire mountain under his complete control, so he couldn't just end things like that.
Although Mount Okusan does not form a vast space like a secret realm, its area is still quite large, and not all monsters can fly.
Therefore, it will take some time to get to Xia Yan's place.
Xia Yan waited for an hour.
During this time, some monsters gradually arrived.
Most of them were just intelligent monsters, with only one or two half-orc monsters who looked like Fu Rui. As for those that went further and completed human form, there were none of them.
All I can say is that there are very few monsters in Okusansan, making it a suitable place for retirement.
However, it was precisely because of this that Itsumade and Guhuoniao came to live in seclusion in this mountain.
When it was all over, the entire shrine was like a zoo, with creatures that flew in the sky and ran on the ground, but none that swam in the water.
Fortunately, although these monsters were not very strong, they had all developed intelligence and stood obediently, so they didn't really make a mess of the shrine.
Although these little monsters were just there to curry favor with him, and the only one they could offer so far was Itsumade, Natsuhiko didn't look down on them. On the contrary, he found them quite interesting.
After all, he wasn't there to recruit an army, nor did he have any mortal enemies, so he didn't need a strong force under his command.
Among the group of scruffy monsters, one strange-looking monster stood out.
It has white feathers all over its body, but perhaps because it doesn't live a very good life, it looks a bit dirty.
With webbed feet, wings, a boat-shaped body, and a thick, long neck for a bird, it looks like an ordinary duck at first glance.
However, it happens to have the head of a small, grayish-black rodent.
It is clearly animal fur, and the color has no transition at all. The whole thing looks like it was stitched on, which gives it a disgusting and incongruous feel.
Seeing this thing appear in front of them, not only Xia Yan, but also Enmusubi, Guhuoniao, Itsumade, and even the group of children were all shocked.
Everyone turned their heads in surprise.
The other monsters, though puzzled, all looked over.
Suddenly, this strange monster became the focus of attention.
Whether human or monster, when looking at it, a question will inevitably arise in one's mind.
Is this thing a rat or a duck?
Chapter 319 On the Distinction Between Rodents and Birds
"Lord Xia Yan, is it... a mouse... or a duck...?"
Unable to hide his thoughts, the simple-minded god leaned close to Xia Yan's ear and whispered a question.
However, despite her lowered voice, the senses of animals are still quite sharp, and powerful monsters such as the Ubume and the Itsumades who have already completed their transformations could hear it clearly.
Already harboring doubts, they all turned to look at Xia Yan when someone brought it up.
Looking into those eyes, as bright as the autumn moon, sparkling with a thirst for knowledge, Xia Yan felt a headache coming on.
Goodness, I can't just say that. Is this something you can ask casually?
If the government says it's a duck, then it can't be a rat!
You can't say anything that's detrimental to unity; you have to trust the country and the leaders!
What? I've already time-traveled?
That’s okay!
With that in mind, Xia Yan began to observe carefully.
Just then, perhaps because it had never received such attention before, the rat-headed duck grinned uncomfortably.
Two rodent incisors are visible.
Seeing this, Xia Yan suddenly understood.
"It's a rat," he said decisively, his tone so certain that it surprised all the monsters present.
"Huh? It clearly looks like a duck, so why is Lord Xia Yan so sure it's a rat?" the silly god continued to stubbornly ask.
"That's right! Lord Xia Yan, even though you're a great demon, how can you be so sure I'm a rat and not a duck!?"
The rat-headed duck's face also displayed a very human-like expression of defiance.
Although it knows it is indeed a rat, even if Xia Yan is a great demon, he cannot arbitrarily define my race!
“Look at his teeth,” Xia Yan said confidently. “He has teeth in his mouth.”
"As the saying goes, a mouse has teeth and a duck doesn't. Since it has teeth, it must be a mouse."
After hearing Xia Yan's explanation, all the monsters and children showed expressions of conviction, as his words were reasonable and well-founded.
But that rat-headed strange duck... the duck-bodied strange rat had a smug expression on its face, as if it wanted to say something.
Before he could even open his mouth, a deep blue, scorching flame enveloped him.
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly vaporized it, leaving not a single hair behind, not even ashes, completely eradicating the evidence.
The other monsters saw this and didn't care.
After all, this kid actually contradicted Xia Yan, the commander, in public. He clearly has a rebellious streak, so he can't be allowed to live!
Seeing the well-behaved and sensible appearance of the little monsters, Xia Yan smiled with satisfaction.
He waved his hand,
The next second, each monster gradually acquired an armband bearing Xia Yan's personal mark, proving that they were monsters under the command of Xia Yan, the leader of Mount Okusan.
It carries Xia Yan's unique demonic aura, which can prove the other party's identity, and no one can imitate it.
However, that was all; Xia Yan had no intention of drinking the Demon Inscription Wine with them.
Demon-Inscribed Wine represents the wine of sworn brotherhood, a vow made by demons, and naturally not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can drink.
Drinking the Demon Inscription Wine signifies that the other party is Xia Yan's retainer.
These little monsters are at most low-level minions. Only those Itsumades who haven't yet taken human form have a slightly higher status because of their good looks, both before and after they take human form. They are considered Xia Yan's pets.
After it takes human form, it might be possible to raise it even higher.
Even so, Xia Yan only intends to make a vow of the Demon Inscription Wine with the leader of Itsumade.
After all, for a clan, it's enough as long as the leader listens to him. If even ordinary members can drink the Demon Inscription Wine with him, then he is being too favored.
Of course, if the leader's daughter behaves well, we can consider it a couple of years later when she's a bit older.
After all, he is a young master, so it's better to be prepared.
And she's so cute, and looks just like her mother...
After resolving the identity verification issue, Xia Yan, as the leader of the monsters, issued his first order upon assuming power.
"Go and kill all the monsters that disobey me but have not obediently left Mount Aosan, leave no one alive! We don't need to kill the monsters that have no sense of reason."
A mindless monster is no different from livestock; we must protect the biodiversity of Mount Aosan.
The monsters scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only the Enmusubi, the spirit of Natsuhiko's Hundred Demons, and Itsumade, who, having received his hint, was petite yet voluptuous and sexy, like a ripe fruit.
"Alright~, next up is the oath for the Demon Inscription Wine. Of course, you can choose not to, no pressure~"
Xia Yan stretched out his finger and gently lifted Itsumade's delicate chin, his tone clearly suggestive. Then, ignoring Itsumade's blushing reaction, he walked towards the main hall of the shrine.
Normally speaking, it would be against the rules to allow Itsumade and Ubume into the main hall of the shrine.
The shrine's main building is the main hall, which is divided into three types: the main hall, the offering hall, and the worship hall.
The main hall, also known as the main shrine, is the dwelling place of the gods and is the most sacred part of the shrine. Normally, it is forbidden for others to enter.
However, since Xia Yan is enshrined inside, and he is the most important figure in the entire shrine, he can naturally let whoever he wants in.
Seeing this, Enmusubi and Ubume smiled kindly at Itsumade and followed closely behind Natsuhiko.
Only Itsumade, her face flushed with embarrassment, was left behind. After thinking for half a second, she lowered her head and, like a newlywed bride, jogged after the three of them.
Drink sugar water after drinking alcohol.
Very fresh and delicious.
In short, I had a really satisfying drink.
The four of them enjoyed a pleasant afternoon of drinks. After a satisfying meal, Xia Yan stretched and walked out of the main hall, feeling refreshed.
Only three drunken female demons remained inside to rest.
A pair of magnificent stone sculptures of divine messengers, resembling golden pheasants, have been added to both sides of the approach.
The little monsters that were sent out gradually returned after completing their missions.
Since most of them were untransformed demon beasts, and the few that were occasionally Fu Rui were just like wild beasts standing up, Xia Yan did not plan to let them live in the shrine.
Instead, they were sent back to their own homes and places.
After all, it's quite interesting to take a look occasionally, but Xia Yan doesn't really want to turn the shrine into a zoo.
