Nan Guangyu followed Chu Xinxin leisurely, watching her run off like a happy, silly deer, and let her run a little further away.

Anyway, they can't escape his grasp.

At the edge of the Demon Realm, the Demon Clan's barrier emitted a faint, chilling light.

Seeing that Chu Xinxin couldn't break through despite her best efforts, Nan Guangyu stomped his feet in anger: "I should have brought Taotie with me!"

"Try this."

Nan Guangyu handed over one of his magical artifacts.

Chu Xinxin thought it was conjured up by the system and was overjoyed: "Thank you!"

The barrier broke with a single touch, and Chu Xinxin was about to praise her kissing system when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

She slowly turned her head, and there was the Demon Lord's exceptionally beautiful face again.

The Demon Lord squatted down with her. Seeing her dazed, he kindly reminded her, "Keep going. If you dig for a few more quarters of an hour, you'll be able to break open a small hole, just big enough for you to crawl through... just like when you were in the Demon Palace."

We're doomed.

......

Chu Xinxin finally realized the situation and started to give up.

But the Demon Lord clearly didn't think that way.

At the barrier, Chu Xinxin was fitted with a ring.

There is a thin white line on the ring, it's hard to tell whether it's divine power or demonic energy.

The white line disappeared only after the Demon Lord put on another ring.

In the instant she disappeared, Chu Xinxin clearly felt that there was an invisible and intangible yet real connection between herself and the Demon Lord.

What did you bring me?

Chu Xinxin thought the ring looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will find your treasures."

The Demon Lord's dark eyes were unfathomable, like a deep pool, captivating and mesmerizing.

Chu Xinxin jumped suddenly and subconsciously took a step back to get away from him.

"Demon Lord, this is unnecessary. I swear on the life of my fiancé, Meng Ji, I will absolutely, positively not run away..."

The Demon Lord's dark eyes grew even darker: "If you want to take it off, fine. The Goddess's period is over, and she can consummate her marriage with me tonight..."

"The Demon Lord is unaware..."

"You do it twice a month?"

"The Demon Lord is wise!"

Demon Lord: ......

Chu Xinxin was taken back to the demon camp.

It was already evening when I got back.

Upon arrival, the Demon Lord was summoned away by the Great Demon, who said that an envoy from the God Clan had come to demand his return.

Chu Xin wanted to go with him, but the Demon Lord wouldn't allow it. He settled her in his own tent and left.

The tent was pitch black.

The Demon Lord was extremely strict with his subordinates. By the time night fell (9-11 PM), the camp was completely silent, and even the patrolling soldiers dared not make a sound.

Just as Chu Xinxin was about to light the lamp, the system said someone had entered, but Chu Xinxin didn't hear any sound.

She sat up straight, alertly sensing the changes in her surroundings.

Suddenly, a gust of air surged behind her, and Chu Xinxin grabbed the teapot next to her and swung it backward without thinking.

My hand was grabbed halfway through, and some water spilled out of the teapot.

Then Chu Xinxin fell into an embrace that smelled of sunshine—

"Goddess, it's me."

Nan Guangyu's voice came from behind.

"Xiao Yu! How did you get in?"

Chu Xinxin was overjoyed.

"Shh, sister."

Nan Guangyu released her, walked to the window, lifted the curtain to take a look, turned around and continued, "It's not a good place to talk, sister, you should come with me."

A quarter of an hour ago, Chu Xinxin would have run away without hesitation.

The problem is, now the Demon Lord knows where she goes!

Chu Xinxin quickly explained it to Nan Guangyu. Nan Guangyu pondered for a moment and then took something out of his pocket.

"Sister, cover your mouth."

Chu Xinxin obediently did as she was told.

She's well-behaved, not the kind of well-behaved that's faked.

Nan Guangyu, who could see everything even in the darkness, darkened his eyes. Why hadn't she been so obedient in front of his true self?

Thinking it over in her mind, she didn't hesitate with her hands. With a swift cut, a long wound appeared on Chu Xinxin's finger.

Chu Xinxin cried out in pain, but fortunately Nan Guangyu had the foresight to tell her to cover her mouth.

Nan Guangyu took a bottle and squeezed out Chu Xinxin's blood.

"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?"

"Make a smokescreen."

Nan Guangyu formed a hand seal, and Chu Xinxin's blood emitted a faint glow as it floated out of the bottle, forming the characters "Goddess" in mid-air.

The moment it happened, Nan Guangyu took a piece of cloth and covered Chu Xinxin's hands: "This will fool you for a while, hurry up and go."

Is this reliable?

Before Chu Xinxin could finish her question, Nan Guangyu pulled her out.

The two little demons guarding Chu Xinxin's tent lay motionless on the ground, whether asleep or dead.

Nan Guangyu didn't even look at them and quickly ran southeast.

Chu Xin's mental strength was weak, and even though she tried her best to control it, she still couldn't make her footsteps as silent as Nan Guangyu.

Nan Guangyu simply picked her up horizontally and carried her to the edge of the demon realm before putting Chu Xinxin down.

Located on a cliff and surrounded by large trees, this place is an excellent spot for "smuggling".

As soon as Chu Xinxin's feet touched the ground, torches suddenly lit up the previously dark forest.

She and Nan Guangyu paused, turning around at the same time to see thousands of demons behind them.

The Demon Lord stood at the very front, looking at her with utterly cold eyes.

Nan Guangyu immediately shielded her behind him, gripping his weapon tightly and pointing it at the Demon Lord.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The Demon Lord pushed off the ground with his toes and flew towards them.

Nan Guangyu raised his sword and thrust it at the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord didn't dodge at all; Nan Guangyu's sword pierced straight into his shoulder...

Chu Xinxin's eyes narrowed. Something was wrong; there was no sound of the sword piercing flesh at all!

Nan Guangyu seemed to have noticed as well, but it was too late. The Demon Lord smiled wickedly and suddenly turned into black mist, scattering in all directions.

Chu Xinxin's heart pounded wildly, and she immediately left the spot.

Sure enough, the black mist gathered where she had been, and the Demon Lord reappeared.

Damn, what exactly is this big devil?!

Chu Xinxin ran towards Nan Guangyu, who also arrived and grabbed her hand. The two of them rushed towards the border of the Divine Clan in perfect unison.

The Demon Lord was hot on their heels.

Chu Xinxin couldn't run fast and was about to be caught up. Nan Guangyu used his sword to cut open his chest and used his divine power to force out two drops of blood from his heart, which increased his speed considerably.

Just as they were about to enter the divine barrier, joy spread across their faces.

Meng Ji suddenly appeared.

But they didn't come to save them!

He struck Nan Guangyu towards the Demon Lord with a palm strike, and using the force, grabbed Chu Xinxin's other hand and quickly retreated back into the barrier.

"Xiao Yu!"

Chu Xinxin turned around and saw that Nan Guangyu had been grabbed by the neck and lifted up by the Demon Lord.

"don't want!"

Chu Xinxin desperately tried to rush over to stop him, but Meng Ji wouldn't let go of her no matter what he said.

"Goddess, danger!"

Meng Ji raised his hand and struck Chu Xinxin on the back of the neck, causing Chu Xinxin to go limp and faint.

Meng Ji picked up Chu Xinxin and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Just before Chu Xinxin fainted, she witnessed the Demon Lord extracting Nan Guangyu's soul, and Nan Guangyu's body rapidly withered away...
