The Phoenix God Clan member who rebelled and left the Immortal Realm back then wasn't actually after power.

It wasn't out of hatred, of course.

It was for his lover, but ironically, the heart-suppressing poison used to suppress the Phoenix God Clan royal family was actually developed by his lover.

Li Muge leaned lazily against Yun Qi, flipping through the historical records of the Phoenix Clan.

Ten thousand years ago, a prince of the Phoenix Clan fell in love with a commoner woman.

The file describes it like this.

The woman had waist-length hair and gentle eyes; everything else seemed to lose its color in her presence.

It was at this time that the prince met the woman.

Although the woman came from humble origins, the prince still defied public opinion and married her as his queen.

He even gave up his position as heir to the Phoenix Clan for this reason.

Li Muge scoffed. This prince was really love-struck. If it were her, she wouldn't give up the throne just because of a woman.

Later, for reasons unknown, the woman suddenly contracted a serious illness.

She even lost the baby she was carrying, who was almost full-term.

To save his wife's life, the prince resorted to cultivating demonic arts and becoming bloodthirsty, all for the sake of keeping his wife alive.

I was really getting into it.

The last few pages were burned.

Only the last page remains.

Finally, the prince's lover personally removed the prince's heart, who had sacrificed everything for her, and became the high priestess of the Phoenix Clan.

And since then.

This high priest's status rose rapidly within the Phoenix Clan.

"What a scumbag! He's really scumbag in a way that's impressive!" Li Muge suppressed his curiosity. It seemed that the only way to get rid of the Heart Gu was to capture this High Priest first.

But what exactly are those missing pages about?

Just as Li Muge was lost in her own thoughts, Yun Qi suddenly turned over and hugged her tightly, seemingly still fast asleep.

She was about to push him away.

But she also felt a warm sensation in her body, which made Li Muge reluctantly push him away.

Just as he was struggling with this, Yun Qi suddenly opened his eyes: "Wife."

Li Muge was taken aback.

Nor should it be.

Yun Qi will understand eventually; this daughter-in-law is not the same as that daughter-in-law.

Jingfeng was the one he truly acknowledged as his rightful wife.

Thinking about it, Li Muge suddenly felt a pang of jealousy; this was just too fair.

Why is it that Yun Qi can have women on both sides, while she can't?

No, we can't let our arch-enemy gain an advantage, no matter what.

Li Muge figured that since marrying one person was the same as marrying two, why not marry more?

Anyway, it's not like she can't afford to support him.

"Good boy." Li Muge patted Yun Qi's head: "Hey, Demon Lord, if only you could stay this silly forever, maybe we could live together peacefully forever."

Lost in her own thoughts, Li Muge didn't notice that Yun Qi, who was holding her, had a fleeting glint in his eyes, though it was only for a moment.

It was concealed in an instant.

Li Muge acted swiftly; that very night, she sent men to capture the High Priest.

The high priest of the Phoenix Clan knelt on the ground, his face aged and decrepit, a stark contrast to the beautiful woman described in the dossier.

The high priest, having been kidnapped here by the demons, was already prepared for the worst.

Her eyes met Li Muge's directly: "Princess, if you have come to me to remove the Heart Gu, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

"Oh." Li Muge toyed with the pearl in her hand: "Does not betraying the Phoenix Clan mean you can betray your lover?"

"High Priest, I really didn't expect you to have such methods. I really underestimated you before."

"Lovers? What lovers?" A hint of panic appeared on the high priest's face. "No, I have no lovers, princess. My heart, soul, and body are dedicated to the Phoenix Clan."

"Haha." Li Muge found it laughable and threw the dossier in front of the high priest: "Take a look for yourself. But then again, people are inherently selfish."

"I have no interest in your old-fashioned love affairs. Tell me, what is the antidote to the Heart Gu? Just tell me."

“I can spare you, but if you don’t tell me…” Li Muge suddenly became ruthless: “High Priest, don’t blame me for eliminating you completely.”

"Pah, Li Muge, what are you anyway? Just like that person, you're a despicable thing who betrayed your family and fell into demonic ways."

"There is no antidote for the Heart Gu. In other words, even if there were, you would have given up on the idea. I will never tell you." The high priest's forehead wrinkles were particularly deep.

The more Li Muge looked, the stranger it seemed, and she could also see traces of resentment on the high priest's body.

In this world, there was no one more familiar with resentment than she was.

She was swallowed by the River of Oblivion, her soul corrupted by resentment, and later reborn through the fires of the underworld.

No matter how ferocious the ghost, it can only become food in her mouth.

As Li Muge thought about it, he used one hand to cast a spell to control the high priest.

The high priest thought Li Muge wanted to kill her, but she didn't understand that with her abilities, she was no longer someone that Li Muge, who had fallen into the demonic path, could easily defeat.

But in what she thought was the end of her life, she seemed to find that there was a void in her heart.

As for what was missing, she had no idea.

I just feel like I've lost something important.

Li Muge extracted the resentment from the High Priest's body and controlled it in his palm.

"What is this...?" Li Muge felt strange, but unexpectedly, the resentment directly entered her body the next moment.

Li Muge felt no discomfort, since she was a creature that fed on resentment.
