Li Muge stared intently at Yun Qi, unmoving, her gaze hesitant and probing: "Demon Lord, do you still remember the tribulation you underwent?"

Yun Qi smiled, puzzled: "Of course I remember. I was first the Regent and later reincarnated as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect."

"And you, Li Muge, knowing full well that I have someone I like, still viciously harassed me, and even tried to kill the person I liked during my tribulation."

Li Muge: "Demon Lord, your memory is reversed."

Just then, the palace doors slowly opened, and Gong Yujia walked in with a gentle look in her eyes. She intimately took Yun Qi's arm.

Yun Qi did not struggle.

"Demon Lord, when the Dharma Protector was undergoing tribulations in the mortal realm, she was also deeply devoted to you, so please don't blame her."

"Love is something that arises from nowhere. It is precisely because I love the Demon Lord with all my heart that I understand the Protector's feelings."

Gong Yujia pretended to be magnanimous and said that if Li Muge hadn't been involved, he probably would have been fooled by Gong Yujia's acting skills.

Li Muge narrowed her eyes, feeling that something was wrong. Why would Yun Qi and Gong Yujia get together?

And what was Yun Qi just saying? That Gong Yujia is his lover? Is this guy out of his mind or blind?

"Yun Qi, are you kidding me? You clearly fell in love with me during your tribulation, or maybe it was her."

Gong Yujia remained calm upon hearing Li Muge's words. During her tribulation, she had cast a spell on Yun Qi, who was about to return to his rightful place.

From then on, in Yun Qi's memory, all the memories of Li Muge would be replaced with her face.

Of course, the Demon Lord's love for Li Muge also belongs to her.

"How dare you, Li Muge! You're still indulging in wishful thinking. You and I are mortal enemies. Am I brain-dead? How could I possibly fall in love with you? This is utterly impossible, yet you have the nerve to say it out loud."

Yun Qi's appearance was gentle and refined, which made him very likable, but the words he spoke were extremely cold.

For some reason, Li Muge's newly formed heart felt a slight pain.

“Yeah, I don’t know which idiot said they liked me.” Li Muge’s eyes were red. “Yun Qi, you’ve been playing me for a fool.”

Gong Yujia's tears were about to fall: "Guardian, I know you are deeply in love with the Demon Lord, but sometimes, what doesn't belong to you simply doesn't belong to you."

Yun Qi felt a headache coming on: "Guards, Li Muge is plotting a rebellion. Lock her in the water dungeon first."

Li Muge told herself to be patient; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

That scoundrel Yun Qi, once she gets away, she'll make him regret it for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Yun Qi didn't seem to remember Li Muge at all, Gong Yujia finally felt relieved.

"Demon Lord, you must be tired. Your subordinate will come to help you rest." Gong Yujia stepped forward, wanting to hug Yun Qi.

Yun Qi didn't know why, but he felt a sense of aversion towards Gong Yuya, and he had doubts in his heart.

Could it be that because he has returned to his original position after his tribulation, he no longer has the same kind of love for Gong Yujia as he did in the human world?

"You may leave now. I am feeling a bit tired and would like to be alone for a while."

"Yes." Although Gong Yujia was unwilling, she dared not disobey Yun Qi's words.

No one knows better than her how difficult it has been to get to where she is today.

She has nothing left.

The only one one can rely on is the Demon Lord.

She loved the Demon Lord. From the moment she entered the trial with Li Muge, she was attracted to this clean and gentle man.

Unfortunately, Yun Qi was always drawn to Li Muge, even though their interactions were always tense.

Gong Yujia felt it was unfair to confront him head-on, but thankfully, the Demon Lord now belonged entirely to her.

Li Muge's hands were bound by handcuffs, and half of her body was submerged in water.

She remained calm and expressionless; she simply couldn't understand where things had gone wrong.

Gong Yujia is Yun Qi's lover, it's impossible. She knows Yun Qi's attitude towards Gong Yujia.

For some reason, Li Muge suddenly thought of Wuchen. Back then, the Heavenly Empress had also used the Love-Swapping Technique to separate her and Wuchen.

Li Muge got angry at the thought. Could it be that Gong Yujia was also using this method to take advantage of her?

Even if she doesn't want Yun Qi, she can't let others enjoy the shade under the tree she planted.

Thinking of this, Li Muge gathered magic power at his fingertips, and soon the locks were opened automatically.

Snake Maiden also happened to lead her men to deal with those death row guards.

"Guardian, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me." Snake Maiden knelt on the ground, and scales resembling those of a bamboo viper appeared on her right cheek.

"It's alright." Li Muge rubbed his wrist. "Let's go back to Extreme Evil City first. Oh, and send a few people to bring back that big idiot Niu Zhan."

"Yes, madam." Snake Maiden knelt on the ground, released the giant python, and the two climbed onto the python's head, directly breaking out of the Demon Palace.

Li Muge always made preparations for both possibilities. She had arranged many of her people in the City of Extreme Evil and around the Demon Palace.

Even if she is captured, she will have a way to escape.

To Li Muge's surprise, Niu Zhan was rescued very easily.

His grandfather, the turtle, was also brought back with him.

Li Muge couldn't help but laugh: "Niu Zhan, I didn't realize before that you were such a filial son."

They were almost killed, but they still managed to bring this old tortoise back.

Upon hearing this, Niu Zhan immediately wore a bitter expression: "Oh dear, Protector, please don't make fun of me. I don't want to get involved in it."

"It's this old tortoise that insists on sticking on my back and won't leave."

Niu Zhan got angry. He was only forced to acknowledge this old tortoise as his grandfather, but he didn't expect that this ignorant old tortoise would actually treat him as his grandson.

Li Muge, sitting in a high position, propped her chin up and said mischievously, "Niu Zhan, this demonic turtle isn't some kind of grandfather. She's a female turtle, and she's probably too young to have taken human form yet."

"Judging from this, he probably doesn't treat you like a grandson but like a husband."

Strangely enough, after Li Muge finished speaking, the giant tortoise in the hall actually nodded.

"How could that be!" Niu Zhan jumped up and down: "Guardian, please stop joking. How could I possibly be your husband, you bastard?"

The tortoise crawling on the hall seemed to understand Niu Zhan's words. Without saying a word, she performed an eighteen-turn spinning move for Niu Zhan.

Despite his enormous size, Niu Zhan tripped and fell face-first into the mud on the palace floor.

Li Muge laughed so hard she clutched her stomach.

Just then, a palace servant walked in from outside the hall, holding a gold-embossed invitation card.

"Guardian, the Demon Lord has invited you to attend his wedding with Miss Gong in three days."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.

Niu Zhan couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He quickly got up and said, "Damn it, that woman surnamed Yun, who is one of our protectors, actually dares to marry another woman."

"They're simply asking for trouble."
