It turned out that the word "partner" had a wild meaning to the demons, and that was why they got different meanings in their heads after Yu Ming introduced Wu Jingguo as his partner.
Or maybe it was just demons' heads being too wild? Or maybe Yu Ming really wanted to trick the demons by saying that Wu Jingguo was his partner? After all, Yu Ming was also a demon, and that man must know how demons usually thought of things, right?
Wu Jingguo didn't know Yu Ming's intentions, and he couldn't help but glare at the narrow back covered in pink clothes. For some reason, he somehow thought that Yu Ming was deliberately using the word "partner" to taunt him.
"In the demon realm, gender doesn't matter, and that's why the demons from before weren't even surprised when I introduced you as my partner," Yu Ming spoke as he stopped walking.
Currently, the two were inside a small house in The South Slum. Bolin was kind enough that he even arranged an empty house for the two of them to rest, but it was just a small house that only had a bedroom, and Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo were in the room now.
Before coming to the demon realm, Wu Jingguo had wild imaginations of demons living in caves or perhaps in houses made of stone, but so far everything seemed normal when he found out that demons had homes that didn't look much different from houses in Wu Li or Dong Lang.
The only problem he still couldn't accept was the cleanliness of this place. The ground inside the house was not covered by tiles or wood, and that was why Wu Jingguo's shoes immediately came into contact with the wet soil as soon as he entered the house. The inside of the house was indeed damper than the outside, and that was why Wu Jingguo didn't look comfortable at all.
He also saw some worms and other small animals on the ground, and even if he saw them frequently when he was outside the Xinyang Imperial Palace, he still felt unhappy seeing them in the house where he would spend the night.
Another thing that had made him feel uncomfortable since arriving at the house was the smell of the house. It smelled like something rotten, and that's why he was trying so hard not to throw up at this moment.
"You know what?" Yu Ming spoke again when Wu Jingguo didn't reply, and he even casually sat down on the only available bed in the bedroom. "In the demon realm, male demons can even freely marry other male demons, and that's because some male demons can even give birth to demon babies. That's interesting, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Wu Jingguo stopped thinking about the things that made him feel uncomfortable in the house, and he completely focused his attention on the fish demon as he replied, "What? A male demon can even give birth in this place?"
"Mhm," Yu Ming replied without hesitation. "I also don't know how something like that could happen, but every year, there are at least two male demons who can give birth to babies. Of course, the number is small, but it's still a miracle, right? Even a male werewolf like Crown Prince Bai Chen wouldn't be able to give birth no matter how many times your brother fucked him, so he would definitely feel envious if he knew the facts about the male demons in the demon realm."
Yu Ming could be as vulgar as ever, but Wu Jingguo chose to ignore the demon's words about how many times his brother slept with Crown Prince Bai Chen. Instead, he focused on something else as he asked, "How can male demons bear children? Do they have some conditions that allow them to bear children?"
Before coming to the demon realm, Wu Jingguo did not know the facts about the male demons in the demon realm. At first, he even doubted whether Yu Ming was telling the truth or not, but when he carefully studied the older man's face, somehow he couldn't find a hint of deceit on the face.
"Just like what I've said before, I also don't know how such a thing could happen. But many demons in the demon realm consider that only a chosen male demon can give birth to a child. The birth rate in the demon realm is low compared to the birth in Wu Li and Dong Lang, and that's why male demons who can give birth are usually valued by other demons. That's why no one cares even if male demons have a relationship with other male demons. They hope that the male demons will be able to give birth."
Yu Ming just gave him a long explanation, and Wu Jingguo didn't respond immediately. 'That kind of thing is hard to believe,' he thought to himself. 'It seems that demons are the strangest creatures on this planet.'
That was indeed Wu Jingguo's opinion as he remained silent, but then he remembered something as he focused his attention on Yu Ming again. "Then, how about you?" He suddenly voiced a question, and Yu Ming looked so confused by the question that he even blinked innocently at the younger man. Seeing that confused expression, Wu Jinggu then continued, "What about you? Do you also have the ability to give birth to a child?"
Finally, Yu Ming managed to understand the direction of Wu Jingguo's question, but he still blinked in confusion instead of directly answering. It seemed that he was in deep thought as he even furrowed his brows, but then he replied, "I never thought of that before you asked me that question, Your Highness. The chosen male demons who can give birth don't have any markings. They only give birth, but there is no pattern about the phenomenon."
Yu Ming didn't know much about male demons who could give birth, which was why his answer didn't satisfy Wu Jingguo.
Yu Ming even had a serious expression on his face as he answered, but then he suddenly realized something as a smirk instantly appeared on his face. "Why are you suddenly asking me that question, Your Highness?" Mischievously, he asked the younger man. "Is it because you slept with me several times before today? Are you afraid that I will become pregnant with your child?"
