Li Muge could hardly believe his eyes. What? That damned woman Xiao Xue was back again.

And he returned to the Heavenly Emperor's side.

With both old and new grudges combined, Li Muge's pupils turned red. Back when she returned to the past, she had saved this woman once.

She's so regretful now, she's kicking herself. If only she hadn't ripped out Yun Qi's heart.

Perhaps Yun Qi wouldn't be in such a crazy state now.

The Heavenly Emperor never expected that the woman he loved most would return to his side.

This incident made him less prejudiced against the diva.

Since the Empress was willing to go to great lengths to find Xiao Xue for him, it all comes down to the fact that she loves him too much.

"Alright, I'll stay with you."

When Xiao Xue is alone.

Li Muge transformed into the appearance of the young Yun Qi, with a large hole in his chest.

Darkness appeared before Xiao Xue.

Bloody tears streamed from his eyes.

She'd scare people however the ghost wanted, her goal being to kill that stupid woman, Xiao Xue.

If it weren't for this foolish woman, Yun Qi might have become a Buddha instead of a Demon Lord.

Anyway, Li Muge heard that Buddha Shakyamuni had disappeared a long time ago. Coincidentally, with Yun Qi's abilities, filling in for him is not impossible.

He will no longer compete with her for the throne in the Demon Realm.

"Mother,"

"Mother." Li Muge called out twice, and the old woman finally woke up.

"Who, who are you?" In the darkness, Xiao Xue had just fallen asleep and could not see the boy's face clearly.

As soon as lightning strikes.

The light fell on Li Muge's face.

Xiao Xue turned pale with fright: "You, you are that devil, devil, give me back my daughter."

"Mother, I have no heart, it hurts so much, Mother, please help me." Li Muge slowly approached Xiao Xue step by step.

"Where has my heart gone, Mother?" She suddenly grabbed Xiao Xue's hand and plunged it into the bloody hole in her chest.

"Mother, quick, help me find my heart."

"No, no." Xiao Xue shook her head in horror and forcefully pulled her hand away: "It has nothing to do with me."

Her hands covered in blood brought back memories of that year, and her face was streaked with tears.

"Chen'er, this is the only way your mother can do it. If it weren't for your heart, your sister would have died."

Li Muge disagreed: "Didn't they say that only the heart of a dragon can save my sister? Mother, you are also a dragon, why can't you?"

"No, you can't." Xiao Xue raised her eyes. So many years of torment and wasted time had given this woman a tragic beauty.

But Li Muge didn't think so.

She thought this woman was stupid, disgusting, and heartless enough to kill her own child; she was utterly hopeless.

"No, Qi'er, you must understand your mother. Your sister is still so young. This world is dangerous. If your mother is not here, what will happen to her?"

“So…” Li Muge conjured the Phoenix Cry Sword, his eyes narrowing slightly: “You can then exchange my life for your daughter’s.”

There are always some parents who are biased and unfair, thinking that the child was born of them.

They can decide the fate of one child and become a stepping stone for the fate of another.

Li Muge didn't want to talk to a woman who was stupid to the core.

She raised her sword, ready to end Xiao Xue's life with a single blow.

Unexpectedly, her wrist tightened, and a veiled man blocked her way.

Li Muge was shocked to see that this brat, who she didn't know where he came from, dared to stop her from killing someone.

The two started fighting.

The sounds of fighting awakened the Heavenly Palace guards.

Unwilling to give up, Li Muge cast a spell to control a sword and charge towards Xiao Xue.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped again by this man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

"Who is it?" As the guard came in and opened the door, the man in black grabbed Li Muge's wrist and disappeared together.

"Let me go, you scoundrel! Who are you? Do you know who I am? Believe me or not, I'll chop your head off."

"I know, who dares to offend you, Protector Li Muge?"

The man in black pulled down his veil, and in the moonlight, Li Muge could see Yun Qi's face clearly.

His gentle features made Li Muge feel her heart pounding for a moment.

Perhaps even Yun Qi himself didn't realize that his tone carried a hint of helplessness and doting.

"Demon Lord, what are you doing? Why won't you let me kill her? She doesn't deserve to be a mother at all."

"You're... seeking revenge for me?" Yun Qi's eyes were hesitant, incredulous, and somewhat suspicious.

"Of course...impossible." Li Muge made a sharp turn: "Demon Lord, you're dreaming. You've tricked me more than once or twice. Would I be stupid enough to help you?"

“Hmm, that’s true.” As soon as Yun Qi finished speaking, Li Muge’s wrists were bound with a rope.

"What are you doing, Yun Qi? Don't go too far!" Li Muge's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

They even dared to kidnap her.

"Fine, Yun Qi, you can do it. If you're going to do the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth."

Li Muge spoke, then reached out and pinched his own arm hard, the pinching was heavy.

A bruise immediately appeared on my arm.

"Ouch, Li Muge." Yun Qi winced and clutched his arm. "Li Muge, you're a complete shrew, and the kind who doesn't even know what she's doing."

"This shrew is no match for you, Demon Lord." Li Muge was so angry that her liver ached.

The sound of their arguing attracted the attention of the soldiers in the Heavenly Palace.

It was clear that the Heavenly Palace guards were about to catch up.

Li Muge pulled Yun Qi and jumped into the pool.

"Where is he? We just heard a sound." Several guards walked to the pond, but saw no one.

"If you don't know, let's go look somewhere else."

Other couples underwater would probably share a breathtaking kiss.

She and Yun Qi were underwater, staring at each other.

Neither of them would admit defeat.

After the group left, Li Muge emerged from the water and gave Yun Qi a disappointed look.

"Demon Lord, I think you and that stupid woman are truly mother and son."

"That scumbag Tianjun treated you and your mother like this, and you still want to send your mother to reunite with him? Are you out of your mind?"

Yun Qi snorted: "Mind your own business, Li Muge. How can you be allowed to find someone to impersonate my mother to get close to the Heavenly Lord?"

"Why can't I just send the real person over?"

Li Muge pursed her lips. Could it be that Yun Qi sent Xiao Xue over to sabotage her plans?

Use Xiao Xue to deal with Hua Qingqing.

Sure enough, this madman is really mean.

Her relationship with Yun Qi was strange, and it was hard to explain.

There are also confrontations.

Yet, at this moment, deep within the pool, there was an eerie peace.

But this is not the scenario Ying Yuan wants to see.

He realized that he needed to see Li Muge destroy the Immortal-Demon Contract Barrier as soon as possible.

It's not just about making the Immortal Realm Li Muge's mortal enemy.

Furthermore, it is necessary to make Yun Qi hate Li Muge to the core.

Ying Yuan understood very well that if he wanted to provoke Yun Qi, he had to start with the people around him and his background.

An illegitimate child whom the Heavenly Emperor cannot show to the world.

He became the Demon Lord.

If word gets out, people will laugh at me.
