Are all dragons this arrogant now?

Jia Xitong was a little taken aback as he turned and left.

"director!"

She watched Shang Yanting leave and chased after him, but Shang Yanting ran even faster. He seemed determined not to let Jia Xitong catch up, walking very fast. Jia Xitong, unable to think straight, was determined to catch up with him and follow behind him.

The two of them childishly chased each other around the Demon Palace several times.

In the end, Jia Xitong got tired of running and returned to her bedchamber by herself.

On the other side

Having finally shaken off Jia Xitong, Shang Yanting finally stopped. He walked quietly into the courtyard alone, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.

He is a demon god.

He also cultivated himself from an ordinary person to this level.

When weak, he endured humiliation and feigned compliance; when powerful, he concealed his emotions. Regardless of the situation, he always presented the most perfect version of himself, feigning indifference and suppressing all desires. He continued this facade until he himself no longer knew what he truly liked.

That kind of vulgar, money-grubbing stuff.

Even the most ordinary cultivator wouldn't give it a second glance.

How could he possibly like it!

In the original story, Shang Yanting was full of confidence, yet in a daze, he found himself once again in that secret chamber he had scorned. The bed that fool had spoken of was actually a platform made of gold and silver. The platform was cold and hard, and the things placed on it were a hodgepodge and utterly chaotic mess.

This thing is so uncomfortable that it's uncomfortable to sit on, let alone lie down on.

Shang Yanting snorted coldly, got up, and left the secret room. He disliked this kind of low-level and foolish flattery at all!

The figure walked to the doorway and then stopped.

He should go back and take another look; there might be some treasure inside. Shang Yanting turned back and checked everything in the secret room.

There are no treasures.

How could a mortal's palace possibly contain treasures? Or perhaps, the treasures collected by the royal family are not even considered treasures in the eyes of the demon god.

The original author, Shang Yanting, has reappeared.

But before he even stepped out the door, he turned back.

Although there are no treasures, the string of pearls piled on the bed looks quite nice...

In the original story, Shang Yanting went in and out repeatedly, and finally went in!

The door to the secret room was tightly closed.

A tight barrier was set up around it.

He stayed inside for a full three hours.

Jia Xitong was extremely bored in the bedroom and wanted to meditate, but the surrounding area was filled with demonic energy.

She sat at the entrance of the bedchamber, idly resting her chin on her hand while waiting. It wasn't until the moon had already hung high in the treetops that Shang Yanting, the author of the original work, "rushed back from outside."

"director!"

Jia Xitong's eyes lit up when the person finally arrived.

Upon returning, Shang Yanting's expression stiffened. When Jia Xitong grabbed his arm, he did not sternly push her away as before.

What are you doing outside?

"Of course I'm waiting for you."

Jia Xitong complained to him, "You have no idea how terrifying this place is. Apart from the two of us, everything here is inanimate."

It's fine during the day, but at night it feels like a chilling wind is blowing.

That's terrifying!

"It's scary outside, why don't you go inside and sleep?"

"I want to sleep too, but I've already slept for a long time during the day."

She's currently experiencing both boredom and mental exhaustion.

Jia Xitong opened her bright eyes and looked at Shang Yanting. "Director, this place is really boring."

Director Shang stood beside her, glancing at her sideways. "Come with me."

Director Shang is in a reasonably good mood today, so we can allow her to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xitong was even more compliant with his requirements than he had imagined. She stopped just before stepping out of the Demon Palace and said, "Director, you can't just wander around here. You'll die if you go out."

It's not so much that they were obedient, but mainly that they were afraid of dying.

"Oh."

In the original story, Shang Yanting sneered, as if to say, "You've finally met your match."

He made a hand seal and pointed at Jia Xitong's forehead, saying, "Alright, you can come out for now."

"That simple?"

When it comes to her own life, Jia Xitong doesn't believe it.

"Then you can stay inside."

Shang Yanting in the original story had some patience, but not much. After speaking, he left directly.

Jia Xitong stomped her feet in frustration as she watched him walk away. Of course, she wanted to go out, and seeing Shang Yanting getting further and further away, she finally gritted her teeth and chased after him.

"Director!"

"Slow down!"

Jia Xitong jogged to catch up with him, her face showing excitement. "Where are we going now?"

"It's already good enough that we can expand our activity area, where else would you like to go?"

In the original story, how could Shang Yanting possibly let her leave the realm of death? If she were to step out of the palace gates, he would kill her immediately!

But is that really the case?

In the original novel, Shang Yanting was unaware that he was being slowly boiled like a frog in water.

A few days ago, he disliked Jia Xitong and wanted to kill her.

A day earlier, because Jia Xitong tried to kill him by seizing his palace,

A few hours ago, Jia Xitong was told that she would be killed if she stepped outside the palace grounds.

Now, they only kill Jia Xitong if she steps outside the palace grounds... Her scope of activity and authority are really getting bigger and bigger.

Without a brain, Jia Xitong is simply happy. She's carefree, but outside, someone is worrying herself sick over her.

Inside the temple, the center of the martial arts continent

Huo Rui stood beside Shang Yanting, looking worried. "Your Excellency, it's already the sixth day. All the major and minor martial arts forces have now submitted. Shouldn't we be attacking that demon in the Realm of Death?"

A demon who looks exactly like the Venerable One.

When Huo Rui first learned of this, he was naturally extremely shocked.

But what's even more shocking is that when he was brought here, the Venerable One had already subdued all the big shots in the Martial God Temple and the two academies using some unknown method.

In the blink of an eye, their lord went from a fugitive being hunted down to the leader of the campaign against the demon.

Even more surprisingly, Xitong was kidnapped by that devil.

For six whole days, there was no news of them, and their fate remained unknown.

"I know, but not now."

Looking at the half-open jade lotus in his hand, Shang Yanting thought of how the dragon clan had inherited the skills.

To become a god, one must make the blue lotus fully bloom.

He had tried many methods, but no matter what, the jade lotus would not bloom because of his actions. However, it was not entirely unchanged; recently, the jade lotus had been changing at an extremely slow pace.

He felt that the way to make it bloom was right beside him, yet it was as if the truth was shrouded in mist.

I am filled with anxiety every day, yet I cannot find the right method.

“But Xitong has been arrested for so long, I’m worried about her safety…”
