Demon Realm Slaughter Trial Grounds 2

Fortunately, Chu Shuyue was not destined to die. She was rescued by a passing demon and later came to serve under the Sixth Princess. While studying magic, she also offered advice to the Sixth Princess. Through her efforts, she became a magician.

"Trickster" is an honorific title used in the demon realm for an important advisor under their command.

Because Chu Shuyue was beautiful, she could chat with the Sixth Princess and even became one of the Sixth Princess's intimate guests.

Xie Guijin unearthed these memories, and as a fellow human, she keenly sensed that, for the Sixth Princess, Chu Shuyue might just be one of her think tank members and lovers.

But as for Chu Shuyue, he probably truly loved the Sixth Princess, but he was afraid that this love would lead the Sixth Princess to drive him away, so he suppressed it bitterly.

Xie Guijin had no intention of getting involved in their love-hate entanglement, but without a legitimate reason, he could not refuse Chu Shuyue's request to see him, so he ordered him to come in.

Chu Shuyue bowed as she entered, and after calling out to Xie Guijin, she looked up and met his eyes.

Xie Guijin's eyes sharpened, and she abruptly stood up.

"Host, you are now the Sixth Princess," the system promptly reminded you.

Xie Guijin composed herself, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the witch and her servants inside the room. She waved her hand and ordered them to leave.

After clearing the area, Xue Linchuan, disguised as Chu Shuyue, immediately spoke up: "Gui Jin, I've finally seen you again. How are you? What's the mission this time? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xie Guijin's face was ashen, and the disgust in her eyes turned into a sharp blade that pierced Xue Linchuan.

Stung by the stab, Xue Linchuan asked anxiously, "Gui Jin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did I say something wrong?"

"I don't want to see you again. Please don't appear in front of me again," Xie Guijin said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xue Linchuan was first taken aback, then his body trembled, and he said with fear and helplessness in his eyes, "What did I do wrong? Tell me and I will change. Please don't send me away."

"Now that you've regained your memory, don't you know what you've done? I'm afraid to even tell you would sully my mouth," Xie Guijin sneered. "You saved me, and I saved you. We're even now, there's no need for us to have anything to do with each other anymore. You can leave."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linchuan felt uneasy, confused, and a little guilty, and remained silent and motionless for a moment.

"Get out of here!" Xie Guijin roared in fury when Xue Linchuan refused to leave.

Xue Linchuan subconsciously looked outside and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I'll go out now."

Xie Guijin watched Xue Linchuan's retreating figure as he stepped out the door, then leaned against the desk, swaying precariously, panting heavily, her chest feeling like it was stuffed with cotton.

The system asked in bewilderment, "Host, this isn't like you. You haven't even figured it out."

Xie Guijin did not answer, but closed her eyes and kept stroking her chest while taking deep breaths.

Upon seeing this, the system had a flash of inspiration and blurted out without thinking, "Host, do you have some kind of psychological trauma? I can help you book an appointment with our psychological counseling service. Hosts who have used it all say it's great."

Xie Guijin remained silent and cleanly blocked the system.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she summoned the strategists under the Sixth Princess's command to discuss important matters.

Xue Linchuan, who was disguised as Chu Shuyue, should have been in the summons, but he did not appear at the moment. Since Xie Guijin did not mention it, the demons in the intelligent group naturally did not say anything.

A very few sorcerers thought sourly: "The princess really favors that human. What's so good about him?! He's just a pretty boy, so thin and not strong or powerful at all. He's nowhere near as well-endowed and skilled as me."

This is truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Xie Guijin didn't have mind-reading abilities and was unaware of these things.

After discussing with the demons, she decided to use the excuse that the demon realm would cooperate with other realms in trade to inquire about the trade needs of other demon realms.

At Xie Guijin's insistence, the housing needs of the Demon Clan were included in the survey.

Although the sorcerers were puzzled, they all obeyed and left.

Xie Guijin leaned back comfortably on the couch, sipping fine wine and sighing, "Finally, I don't have to fight alone anymore. It feels so good to have subordinates."

"Host, you have subordinates in both the demon realm and the ghost realm, okay?" the system said with a smirk.

"Tsk," Xie Guijin took a sip of wine and smacked her lips in satisfaction, "What do you know? How can a lowly demon slave from the Demon Palace, an ordinary ghost messenger from the Ghost Realm, be compared to the capable subordinate of a powerful princess from the Demon Realm?"

"Oh dear, this time I should only need to rest comfortably for seven days," Xie Guijin said with a smile, putting down her wine glass and transforming into a little witch with freckles on her cheeks and a wisteria flower magic mark on her arm. She left the palace, ready to explore the Demon Realm, since she was already here.

As an ordinary modern person, Xie Guijin had no intention of seizing the throne. As long as the mission was completed smoothly, it would also help the Sixth Princess gain some prestige, which would be a great help to her. She couldn't do anything more than that.

Xie Guijin, who thought she had already taken care of the arrangements and only needed to wait for the results before taking the next step, teleported to the outskirts of Shanghai, ready to happily enjoy the scenery.

"Host, aren't you going to the market?" the system asked curiously.

"No," Xie Guijin said, humming a cheerful tune as she walked briskly, "I've never liked shopping anyway. If it weren't for... last time..."

After a moment's hesitation, Xie Guijin continued, "In short, I prefer looking at the scenery."

The scenery of the Demon Realm was clearly different from what Xie Guijin was familiar with.

The sky above the Demon Realm is dark purple, devoid of the light emitted by the sun, moon, and stars.

The ground was covered with cracked black rocks, which was undoubtedly a blow to Xie Guijin, a descendant of Chinese people with a deep love for the land. She muttered to herself, "There isn't even any soil."

There was no soil, and of course, almost no flowers, grass, or trees; but skeletons were everywhere.

After taking a few steps, Xie Guijin's legs went weak, and she said in a trembling voice, "Is this really the outskirts of Shanghai? Isn't this a battlefield ruin?"

“This isn’t the scenery I want to see,” Xie Guijin decisively used her internal energy to leave.

Suddenly, several thick vines shot out from a crack in the valley not far away and pounced on Xie Guijin in an instant.

Xie Guijin was not yet proficient in demonic magic, so she instinctively dodged, rendering her teleportation spell ineffective.

She didn't have time to cast any other spells; the vines were relentlessly pursuing her, each covered in sharp thorns that glowed green, clearly indicating they were highly poisonous.

Xie Guijin had no choice but to dodge and flee. Having already had combat experience, she could clearly feel the vines forcing her to run to the right and rear.

To the right rear was a large pit churning with scorching red magma. From a distance, Xie Guijin could feel the heat wave carrying the smell of sulfur rushing towards him.

This was not a fight where she had the upper hand. Moreover, the magic of the demon realm was completely different from that of the gods and monsters. Xie Guijin had no way to escape with magic in an instant.

Although she couldn't effectively counterattack with magic, she was fortunate to still have the memories of her movement techniques from previous battles.

Just as the vines struck again, Xie Guijin bent backward and, with an extremely cunning posture, broke through the narrow gap in the vines.

With bloody scratches all over her body, Xie Guijin gritted her teeth and rushed forward. The vines quickly changed direction and attacked her again, but instead of moving forward, she seized the opportunity to leap to the left and back. Just as the vines were about to catch up with her, she floated to the right.

Repeat this process many times until the vines are tightly intertwined and cannot be separated.

"Huff, huff," Xie Guijin stood not far away, hands on her hips, panting heavily, her eyes fixed on the bundle of vines, not daring to let her guard down.

Once the rattan cane group was confirmed to be no longer a threat, Xie Guijin slowly retreated while facing the rattan cane, and only turned and ran away when the rattan cane group was almost out of sight.

Having just used up too much magic power from countless leaps, she wasn't confident she could teleport back to the palace.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Xie Guijin decided to leave first and then teleport back after recovering her magic power.

She walked slowly and steadily, practicing her magic tricks while also keeping an eye on her surroundings for any dangers—truly multitasking.

The surroundings were calm, but Xie Guijin dared not relax for a moment. Suddenly, the hard black rock under her feet became soft and sticky, like muddy ground after a heavy rain.

Xie Guijin knew something was wrong. She had just floated up when the earth began to writhe and churn. Countless black tentacles reached out, grabbed her ankles and the hem of her clothes, and pulled her down with all their might.

As Xie Guijin struggled, kicking her feet and casting attack spells downwards, she caught a whiff of floral fragrance. Where would the fragrance come from if there were no flowers, grass, or trees?

Xie Guijin quickly held her breath, but it was too late. She lost her composure and felt weak all over, and she fell downwards involuntarily, about to sink into the deep pit and never be able to escape.

A silver aura suddenly appeared, transforming into a ribbon that tightly wrapped around Xie Guijin's waist, preventing her from sinking.

Dark purple flames, formed from demonic energy, ignited beneath Xie Guijin.

The scorched black tentacles let out a shrill scream, released Xie Guijin, and sank downwards.

A man nearby used his wrist to pull Xie Guijin out of the mud with a ribbon of spiritual energy.

The man was Xue Linchuan. Seeing that Xie Guijin had safely reached him, he put away the spiritual silk, grabbed Xie Guijin's shoulders with both hands, and quickly checked her injuries.

Xie Guijin deftly twisted and broke free, demanding sharply, "What are you doing here?"

"Gui Jin, I didn't mean to make you angry. It was just too dangerous, that's why I showed myself," Xue Linchuan hurriedly explained.

"Just showed up?" Xie Guijin chewed on those three words, then sneered, "You've been following me, haven't you? I told you I didn't want to see you again, didn't you hear me?"

Xue Linchuan stammered in defense, "I... I know you don't want to see me, so... so I secretly followed you. I originally didn't plan to show myself. You... you believe me."

"You're incorrigible!" Xie Guijin rushed forward, grabbed Xue Linchuan by the collar, and said viciously, "You still dare to play word games with me? Let me tell you, I would rather die than see you again. Get out of here!"

Enraged, Xie Guijin unleashed her demonic energy and with a powerful throw, she sent Xue Linchuan flying.

Xue Linchuan staggered back several steps before stopping.

Xie Guijin was surrounded by rampant demonic energy, and the thorny demonic pattern on her forehead, which had been hidden when she took human form, reappeared.

"I'm leaving now, don't be angry. This is medicine for your injuries," Xue Linchuan said, taking a few steps forward and handing Xie Guijin a dark green medicine bottle.

Xie Guijin didn't even glance at it, casually tossed the medicine bottle aside, and angrily said, "Who wants your medicine? Get out!"

Just then, auras of other demonic energy fluctuations emanated from the air.
