Li Muge froze. How could this be? She had clearly hidden her whereabouts very well.

hateful.

How could Yun Qi, that lunatic, have found out?

"Guardian, I want to know, where do you intend to lock me up until I die?" Yun Qi said with a gentle smile.

But Li Muge sensed danger in his eyes.

Thinking about this, she began to calculate her chances of winning if she were to fight Yun Qi.

no.

Only the reborn Li Muge knew just how terrifying Yun Qi was.

Although she acted recklessly in her past life.

But when it came to Yun Qi, his mortal enemy, he used every trick in the book to cripple Yun Qi's cultivation, sever his limbs, and then seal him away.

Unexpectedly, this guy was able to break through the seal.

It wasn't until the day Li Muge broke the seal that she truly fought against Yun Qi.

In the three realms, it's estimated that few can rival her magical power.

But in Yun Qi's hands, he couldn't even last ten moves.

Thinking of his tens of thousands of years of lonely life, Li Muge smiled and said, "No, Demon Lord, you misunderstood. How could I possibly imprison you until you die?"

"You are the most, most, most respected Demon Lord. In my heart, even the moon in the sky is not as bright as you."

"Ah, Demon Lord, although there is no sun in the Demon Realm, you are still the sun in my heart. All along, you have guided us without asking for anything in return."

"And you ask for nothing in return. You have always shone brightly in the hearts of your subjects and the people of the Demon Realm."

Li Muge covered her chest with her hand.

A look of piety on his face.

Yun Qi stood there in his white robes, his gentle brows slightly furrowed, though one could easily ignore the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Little Peony quietly stayed away.

I have a feeling that the Demon Lord and the Dharma Protector are about to fight.

Given the way the Dharma Protector was acting, even setting aside the Demon Lord, she felt so embarrassed she wanted to punch him.

Yun Qi gripped the prayer beads tightly with both hands. Over the thousands of years, those who had displeased him were long gone.

There is also the deceased Demon Lord.

To this day, his soul is still suffering in hell, and no one knows it.

Only Li Muge.

She always had the ability to dodge his death warrant.

The odor on his body had not yet dissipated, and Yun Qi felt a surge of resentment in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled even more happily.

Li Muge recited a poem she had just composed.

Seeing Yun Qi's expression, I felt a mix of emotions. No wonder there's an old saying: "It's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person."

Look at Yun Qi, he'd rather die than kill her, yet he's still enduring it.

However, this also proves that she is of great value to Yun Qi.

Why? Because Yun Qi felt that only she was qualified to defeat him and then ascend to the position of Demon Lord.

Or rather...

Only she can break the contract barrier that has maintained the balance between immortals and demons.

But why does it have to be her?

Why can't we choose someone else?

Yun Qi's thin lips moved slightly: "Li Muge, you read it very well just now. Promise me you won't have to read it again next time."

Li Muge breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smile: "Not at all, Demon Lord, not only did I recite it well, but every word came from the bottom of my heart."

"Oh." Yun Qi chuckled softly. "Li Muge, is the real me really that important to you?"

"Of course." Li Muge said seriously, since fooling people wouldn't hurt him.

"Alright, then I will grant your wish." Yun Qi raised his hand, and a restriction "whooshed" in, tightly binding Li Muge's hands.

"Demon, Demon Lord, what do you want to do?" Li Muge had a bad feeling.

Yun Qi curled his lips into a smile, his gentle tone soothing: "I don't want to do anything, I just want the protector to know what the rules are."

"Ahhhhh!"

"Yun Qi, I'm going to kill you."

10,000 meters above the ground.

Li Muge was bound, his entire body hanging in mid-air, while Yun Qi sat comfortably on the back of the Devouring Beast, holding the rope restraining Li Muge.

"Yun Qi, a man like you deserves to be unwanted. No woman will like you."

"Pretty boy, I'm going to kill you." Li Muge's hands were tied, and she was suspended in mid-air, being carried away by the Devouring Beast.

If other gods or demons saw this...

Needless to say, Li Muge also felt that she had completely lost face.

Furthermore…

This dead Yun Qi kept making the Devouring Beast fly higher.

We're almost at the ninth heaven.

Damn it, don't think she doesn't know, this guy is just getting revenge for her smearing him with mud.

High in the air, looking down, the scenery below is just a vast expanse of white.

That's the wind.

All of Li Muge's hair was blown onto her face; if anyone unaware of the situation saw it...

I guess I thought there was a female ghost in red hanging in mid-air.

Yun Qi: "Li Muge, I heard you, but don't forget, I'm not unwanted."

"Didn't you already have what you wanted?"

Before Li Muge could answer, Yun Qi lazily snapped his fingers, and the Devouring Beast flew up like a whirlwind.

Li Muge's words were left unsaid.

Upon returning to the Demon Realm, Li Muge was caught off guard by Yun Qi's swift actions.

The palace where they were to be married was prepared.

The exquisite and luxurious wedding dress was respectfully placed on a tray by the maids of the Demon Palace.

Li Muge, however, couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

The entire Demon Realm knows how perfunctory Yun Qi's marriage to Li Muge was.

Logically speaking...

Yun Qi is the Demon Lord.

Regardless of who marries whom, Li Muge should be the Queen of the Demon Realm.

However, Yun Qi still did not issue any decree to make Li Muge his queen.
