In her previous life, Li Muguo was unwilling to merely be a Protector in the Demon Realm, constantly suppressed by her mortal enemy, Demon Lord Yun Qi. After years of meticulous planning, she final...
Li Muge naturally also had spies planted in the Immortal Realm.
So when she was meditating to heal her injuries, she received this message from the spy, felt a tightness in her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fine, Wuchen, you really have a cruel heart."
"Heavenly Official, almost three hours have passed. Do you think the Demon Realm Protector will come or not?"
The heavenly soldier in charge of carrying out the punishment inquired.
The Heavenly Official pondered for a moment, then glanced back at the little flower fairy who was hanging up, and lowered his voice: "That's definitely not the case. Who would risk such danger for a mere flower fairy? Wouldn't that be foolish?"
Little Peony's wrists were already chafed, but after listening to the conversation between the heavenly soldiers and officials, her uneasy heart calmed down.
It's good that the Dharma protectors won't come.
That way she won't implicate the Dharma Protector. They're right, she's just a lowly flower fairy who can't help the Dharma Protector at all.
I just hope that the Dharma Protector won't be implicated by her.
So what if she dies? What's so scary about that? After all, her life was saved by the Dharma protector back then.
When the third incense stick had burned out.
The Heavenly Official cast a spell, invoking a tribulation of lightning.
Even a tiny flower fairy couldn't withstand the tribulation of lightning.
"Let's see who dares to challenge me!" Li Muge, dressed in red, arrived in the Immortal Realm, tightly gripping the Phoenix Cry Sword in her hand, her pupils turning red.
"Anyone who dares to harm Little Peony today will be cast into the realm of evil spirits by this guardian, never to be reincarnated."
"Guardian, you go quickly, don't worry about me." As soon as Little Peony finished speaking, Li Muge cut the rope binding Little Peony.
"Little Peony, how are you?" Li Muge used magic to protect Little Peony's heart meridian.
“Guardian, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
Little Peony is forcing herself to stay strong.
"It's okay, Little Peony, don't sleep yet, I'll take you back." For the first time, Li Muge felt scared; she was afraid that Little Peony would leave her.
She has no relatives left in this world.
Only Little Peony stayed by her side no matter what.
"Li Muge, I'm afraid you can't leave?" The Empress walked slowly, surrounded by a crowd.
"Today you either obediently hand over your heart's blood to me, or you can collect the corpse of this flower demon."
"What do you mean by that?" In her anger, Li Muge suddenly remembered Prince Ale's words: she was destined to destroy the Three Realms and become a sinner.
Ironically, before the Three Realms were even destroyed, wasn't she already a sinner?
With a victor's grin on her face, the Empress threw the dagger in her hand in front of Li Muge.
"This flower demon has already been cursed by me. Even if you, Li Muge, have profound magical power and our immortal realm cannot stop you, once you return to the demon realm, the flower demon will still die without the antidote."
"Isn't this fair? Trading heart's blood for an antidote."
"You are utterly despicable." Li Muge's resentment gathered on her sword: "Your Majesty, I have never offended you. What crime have I, Li Muge, committed that you must be so relentlessly pressuring me?"
The Empress remained unmoved: "Li Muge, your fall into the demon realm is a crime, how dare you try to defend yourself?"
"Guardian." Little Peony shed tears, and Li Muge gripped the Phoenix Cry Sword tightly.
The Heavenly Queen gave a wink to the Heavenly Official beside her, who immediately began casting a spell.
The little peony's skin was covered with red spots, and later her body began to ulcerate.
"Li Muge, your friend will be dead in no time. It's such a pity for such a loyal flower fairy. It's just a pity that she followed the wrong master."
The diva's words were tinged with arrogance.
Li Muge's hatred for them was rekindled at this moment. Why did they have to hurt her and then target the innocent people around her?
"Alright, isn't it just your heart's blood? This protector will give it to you." Li Muge picked up the knife from the ground.
The Demon Realm.
When Jingfeng saw that Li Muge had agreed to the Empress's request, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Demon Lord, what should we do now? If the Protector really agrees to give the Heavenly Immortal Realm the Heart's Blood, then the Immortal Realm will definitely not approve of her."
"Then the Demon Lord's plan will be..."
"No rush." Yun Qi sipped his tea slowly: "I need to arouse her hatred so that she can obediently become a good pawn for this master."
"Guardian, please don't!" Little Peony saw that Li Muge was actually going to take his heart's blood for her sake, so she snatched the dagger first.
"What are you doing, Little Peony? Give me the dagger right now, and I promise I will take you home."
Li Muge subconsciously softened her tone.
Su Qing wasn't here. She knew in her heart that even if she wasn't present, the Empress and Emperor Wuchen would help her retrieve Li Muge's heart's blood.
"Su Qing."
Upon learning of the hope in the Celestial Realm, Su Xun hurriedly rushed to the Heavenly Palace, to Su Qing's bedroom.
"Brother, what brings you here?" Su Qing was still quite intimidated by this adopted brother.
It wasn't that the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen loved her that much.
Instead, Su Xun's biological parents were members of the Phoenix Clan, a royal family that held military power.
If it weren't for this reason...
Phoenix King also decided not to adopt Su Xun.
Su Xun handed the prepared pill to Su Qing: "Quickly, this is the pill I prepared for you. It can cure the poison in your body. Go and tell the Empress and the Emperor that you no longer need Mu Ge's heart's blood."
"Antidote." Su Qing was also knowledgeable in medicine. She opened the bottle and knew that it contained the genuine antidote.
"Yeah, let's hurry, Mu Ge, we'll be late..."
Su Xun had barely finished speaking when he was suddenly stabbed in the abdomen.
"You, Su Qing, you actually..." Su Xun tried to cast a spell, but for some reason, he couldn't circulate his magic power to heal himself.
Holding the bottle of pills, Su Qing no longer pretended: "Third Brother, after all this time, you should know me. Compared to Li Muge's heart's blood or antidote..."
"I still prefer Li Muge's heart's blood. Not just heart's blood, everything Li Muge has should be mine."
Su Qing tightened her grip, pushing the dagger even deeper into Su Xun's body.
She can only be the future heir of the Phoenix Clan; keeping Su Xun around would only be a threat.
"Guards, throw him down to the mortal realm for me."
"Yes." The palace servants took Su Xun away with the spell, and the hall returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.
No matter what, Xiao Shaoyao refused to give the dagger to Li Muge.
The Empress never expected that her meticulously planned scheme would be ruined by the flower fairy.
"You're asking for trouble." She snorted coldly, the golden hairpin on her head exuding an air of superiority.
The poison in Xiao Shaoyao's body is getting worse.
Her body began to fester and smell, and she was in excruciating pain.
Empress Feng couldn't bear it: "Mu Ge, quickly persuade your maid, otherwise this poison will take full effect, and living will be worse than dying."
"Shut up, Empress Feng, please stop your hypocrisy." Li Muge's left hand was trembling slightly: "Be good, Little Peony, didn't you say you would always listen to me?"
"Give me the dagger, that's an order. It's alright, Little Peony. I'm so powerful, it's just a few drops of my heart's blood. I'm fine."
Li Muge tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
