"Princess, please drink some medicine. How can you get better if you don't drink it?" The maid carefully brought over the brewed Chinese medicine.

Su Qing glanced at it only once before angrily smashing the medicine bowl on the ground.

"Princess, please forgive me." The maid immediately knelt on the ground, her shoulders trembling with fear.

Su Qing coughed a few more times in anger: "What's the use of drinking these medicines all day? It's just suffering for nothing. What I want is Li Muge's lifeblood."

"My sister is so cruel. It's just a few drops of her heart's blood, yet she could stand by and watch me die." Su Qing's tears kept falling.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

Su Qing looked up, her face pitiful.

Upon seeing that it was the Third Prince Su Xun, who had been in seclusion, she softly called out, "Third Brother."

Unexpectedly, Su Xun slapped her across the face without saying a word.

"Your Highness, no! How could you lay a hand on the princess?" The maidservant hurriedly stood up and stepped forward. She hadn't expected that even after hundreds of years of seclusion, the Third Prince's temper was still as fierce as that of a living Yama, daring to even hit the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen's own daughter.

"Third Brother." Su Qing covered her face. "How could you hit me? I'm your own sister."

"I'll hit you." Su Xun said coldly, "Su Qing, I'm hitting you in the hope that you'll turn back from the wrong path and stop dragging others down with you."

"What are you really thinking? To outsiders, you've always seemed sensible. But look at it from another angle, Su Qing. If you were Li Muge, would you be willing to risk your life to save someone who's plotting to frame you?"

"Your mother has already been injured because of you."

"I will find a way to heal your injuries. Even for the sake of my father and mother's reputation, I will not let you die. I only hope that you will not go to Li Muge again in the future."

"Why?"

After Su Xun left, Su Qing angrily smashed everything she could in the hall:

"Why? I am his real sister. Li Muge is just an imposter. Even Su Xun is nothing but a lowly bastard. How dare she be so arrogant to me?"

"Once I recover, I will definitely make my father depose him."

Su Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Although the maid was worried, she dared not go forward to help her.

Whenever the princess loses control of her emotions, anyone who dares to approach her will surely suffer the consequences.

------

As Li Muge approached the location of the spirit hunt, the white dragon followed closely behind her.

She didn't have time to feel smug.

I suddenly remembered the three essential elements for pursuing a man mentioned in storybooks.

Yes, the book says that to win a man's heart, you have to learn to show weakness. How could she possibly win against Yun Qi?

The phoenix soaring through the flames flew at a slower speed, clearly holding back as it neared its destination.

Wait until you reach the top of the mountain in Hunter's Valley.

Yun Qi transformed into human form, his dark eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought. Li Muge also transformed into human form the next moment, smiled gently, and tugged at Yun Qi's sleeve.

"Oh, Demon Lord, you are really amazing."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't outfly you!" Li Muge's laughter made Yun Qi's lips twitch uncontrollably.

Yun Qi extended her slender, fair index finger and pressed it against the cinnabar mark on Li Muge's forehead: "Li Muge, can't you be normal for once? Sigh."

Li Muge was stunned.

He tilted his head slightly, looking a little troubled.

Yun Qi was surprised to find that Li Muge had lost his murderous aura and seemed somewhat bewildered.

how so.

Yun Qi rubbed his eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with his head too.

"Harmful."

"Demon Lord, what kind of person do you actually like?" Li Muge raised his hand and pressed his neck, transforming into a figure dressed in red, holding the Phoenix Cry Sword in his hand.

It seems that the first two elements failed.

If she wants to win over Yun Qi, she can only rely on this last point.

What is Yun Qi's favorite thing?

Li Muge felt that this scoundrel definitely loved to oppose her the most. Whenever she went east, Yun Qi would definitely go west, without a doubt.

No, I shouldn't be thinking about these things.

Li Muge slapped his forehead hard.

She wants to win over Yun Qi first, then kill him; the order of these two steps cannot be reversed.

Think about it, what else does Yun Qi like the most?

After a short while, Li Muge figured it out: Yun Qi's favorite thing was money; in short, the more valuable a treasure was, the more he should like it.

But besides money, what else does he like?

Li Muge thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with anything.

Spirit Hunting Valley, as the name suggests, is a place for hunting spirit creatures, but there is also a competition here, as the Demon Realm has always judged people by their strength.

each year.

A group of demonic cultivators from the demon realm will enter the Spirit Hunter Valley.

Of the hundreds of demonic cultivators, only one could survive.

Li Muge still remembers that year, in order to survive, to avoid being bullied by others, and to live with dignity, she participated in this spirit-hunting competition.

Among several hundred people.

In the end, only she and Yun Qi met by chance.

The rule for the competition is that only one person can survive.

At that time, Li Muge had no choice but to win or die.

In that battle, she almost shattered Yun Qi's inner core. Of course, she also suffered a setback, as Yun Qi cut off one of her arms.

He was crippled for hundreds of years before his arm grew back.

The old Demon Lord at the time, after watching her fight with Yun Qi, felt that both of them were rare talents, so he made an exception and summoned them to the palace to become his right-hand men.

Time seems to stand still.

Li Muge leaned against the couch, biting into a peach. The past battles seemed like they had happened just yesterday, burying all her kindness and conscience.

All the demonic cultivators participating in the spirit-hunting competition have received their talismans and entered the Spirit-Hunting Valley.

Li Muge and Yun Qi's angles were perfect enough to take in all their movements.

"So, Demon Lord, who do you think has the best chance of winning?" Li Muge kept smiling, but her heart was ice-cold. She had already lost too much on the road to pursuing power.

How can we know until the very end?

Yun Qi sat down gently and raised his hand to stroke a worn-out handkerchief, the carved patterns around it even becoming somewhat blurred.

But he's a demon lord, after all. Does he really need to be so petty?

Yun Qi plucked the strings of his zither.

Li Muge didn't know what the tune was, but it sounded like she had heard it before.

When the bugle call sounds.

Hundreds of demonic cultivators entered the Spirit Hunter Valley.

Inside were hordes of vicious, thousand-year-old evil spirits. Unsurprisingly, nearly half of the people had already died in the battles with these spirits.

Li Muge was not surprised.

If even evil spirits cannot be dealt with.

Staying in the Demon Realm would mean certain death sooner or later.

In order to survive, the remaining demonic cultivators began to cooperate and work together to kill the evil spirits.

When all evil spirits are annihilated.

The slaughter that truly belongs to them is about to begin.

Of the remaining one hundred people, only one will survive and ascend the ladder of power.
