"What, are you so happy to know you're going to marry Sikong Ren? You've even mastered sword flight?"

Zhong Changyuan, holding Pei Zhi firmly on his sword, began to mock her.

Pei Zhi pouted and said coquettishly, "Master, I panicked because I was trying to win you over."

Zhong Changyuan said mercilessly, "Why are you chasing me? You should be looking for Sikong Ren now."

“He’s now your father’s chosen fiancé.” Zhong Changyuan glanced at Pei Zhi and continued, “Oh, and you two have a ‘child’ too.”

Pei Zhi choked up, cursing Zhong Changyuan a thousand times in her heart, but her face was full of flattery.

“Master, you will always be my master. Even if he is my fiancé in the future, you can change your fiancé at will, but you can’t change your master.”

Zhong Changyuan looked at Pei Zhi calmly. Just as Pei Zhi thought she had done something wrong, Zhong Changyuan suddenly burst into laughter.

"You're right, I will always just be your master."

After Zhong Changyuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Go play by yourself, I have other things to do."

Pei Zhi was led to her courtyard by Zhong Changyuan. She scratched her head and asked, "Why am I always getting angry for no reason?"

Despite Zhong Changyuan's smile, Pei Zhi was certain that he was absolutely angry.

Pei Zhi turned around and saw Sikong Ren, dressed in black, standing at her door.

When did you arrive?

Sikong Ren stared intently at Pei Zhi, then suddenly broke into a smile, "Just arrived."

Pei Zhi pushed open the courtyard gate and gestured for Sikong Ren to come in.

Pei Zhi's courtyard is located on Wuwang Peak, whose master is Zhong Changyuan.

Tianyuan Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world, and its leader is Pei Tianming.

Within the Tianyuan Sect, there are many peak masters, and each peak is inhabited by the peak master's disciples or friends.

When Pei Zhi was a child, she lived with her parents on a main peak.

Later, he became a disciple of Zhong Changyuan and followed his master to Wuwang Peak.

Zhong Changyuan only has two disciples, and the area is very large, so Pei Zhi can do whatever she wants.

As soon as they entered the room, Sikong Ren hugged Pei Zhi tightly, saying, "You tricked me so badly."

Sikong Ren's fingers gently traced Pei Zhi's face. "Tell me, where should I start?"

Faced with Sikong Ren, Pei Zhi dared not resist. "If I had introduced myself from the beginning, my body would have been reduced to ashes by now, wouldn't it?"

The peace between the cultivation world and the demon world is only superficial.

If the daughter of the leader of the number one sect in the cultivation world were to go to the demon realm, Sikong Ren would definitely think there was more to it than meets the eye.

Therefore, Pei Zhi became acquainted with Sikong Ren by fabricating an identity.

Pei Zhi wanted to sleep with Sikong Ren, so how could she possibly tell Sikong Ren her true identity?

Firstly, it was to get closer to Sikong Ren smoothly; secondly, it was because they were worried that their scheme would be exposed, and that Sikong Ren would come knocking on their door like today.

Sikong Ren gently tapped Pei Zhi's head with his finger and released her: "You used all your cleverness on me."

Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sikong Ren didn't seem angry.

Of all these small worlds, Pei Zhi fears this one the most.

The cultivation world is too dangerous; if you're not careful, you can really lose your life.

Besides, who are all these people she's flirting with?

Zhong Changyuan is currently the number one cultivator in the cultivation world.

Either of them could kill her with a single finger, even if she were a supreme being in the demon realm.

"I concealed our relationship from Sect Leader Pei, aren't you going to thank me?"

Pei Zhi quickly poured Sikong Ren a glass of water and asked ingratiatingly, "How did you know my identity?"

Sikong Ren took it and laughed, "Your bone age is no more than fifty. You lied to me and said you were an orphan from the demon realm."

"I don't know what magic trick you used, but I was actually fooled by you at first."

The magic used in the cultivation world is different from that used in the demon world. Pei Zhi used the Chaos Mirror to deceive Sikong Ren.

"Later, I had someone check, and the bone age was fifty, which is the Golden Core stage. Although it is only the threshold of the Golden Core stage, it should not be unknown."

Such a person would be a genius no matter where they are placed.

After finding nothing, Sikong Ren became suspicious.

After careful observation, Sikong Ren discovered that Pei Zhi's swordsmanship bore the imprint of the Divine Extreme Sword Technique.

The Divine Sword Technique was created by Zhong Changyuan.

Despite Pei Zhi's best efforts to hide it, Si Kongren was all too familiar with Zhong Changyuan, having sparred with him countless times.

Besides Zhong Changyuan, only his two disciples know it.

She has two apprentices, one male and one female. The female apprentice's age matches Pei Zhi's.

Pei Zhi thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't expect that she had already been discovered.

When did you find out?

Sikong Ren looked at her, pondering how to say it without hurting Pei Zhi's self-esteem.

Pei Zhi calmly said, "Just tell me."

Sikong Ren said softly, "About ten days since you came to my side?"

Despite being mentally prepared, Pei Zhi was still hurt.

She thought she had kept it a secret, but little did she know that it had already been discovered.

"Then why don't you expose me?"

Not only did Sikong Ren not expose her, but he also continued to play along with her.

Sikong Ren said gently, "At first, I wanted to see what you planned to do and what your purpose was."

Pei Zhi pressed further, "And then what happened?"

Sikong Ren looked around Pei Zhi's room and replied casually, "Later I found you quite interesting."

Pei Zhi said with slight dissatisfaction, "Am I being deliberately obnoxious? Or is it more interesting to see me trying so hard to keep this from you?"

Sikong Ren lifted Pei Zhi's bed curtains, glanced at her, and replied, "You lied to me, and I'm not even angry. Why are you angry?"

Sikong Ren's words made sense, leaving Pei Zhi with no room for rebuttal.

Pei Zhi sat down in the chair angrily, "Then answer me, why did you come to our door to propose marriage?"

"Because the next Demon Lord of the Demon Realm has been born, I must marry a Demon Queen." Sikong Ren thought for a moment and added, "Of all the people in the world, I only want to marry you."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi forgot her anger and asked, "The ancient tree really gave birth to the next Demon Lord? Why? What are you going to do then?"

When the next Demon Lord arrives, the previous Demon Lord will surely die.

But why is it that Sikong Ren is only a thousand years old, yet his body and cultivation techniques are perfectly fine?

Sikong Ren nodded. "Didn't you see everything?"

"I thought it was just a little trick you played." Pei Zhi thought at the time that those things were something Sikong Ren had put together to fool her father and master.

Unexpectedly, it's actually true.

"Perhaps the ancient tree thinks I am not worthy to be the Demon Lord, so it is eager to conceive the next generation to replace me."

Pei Zhi couldn't help but feel anxious: "Why are you deemed unworthy? There must be a reason, right? Are you just going to accept your fate like this?"

Sikong Ren chuckled: "I'll be the one who dies in the end, what's the rush?"

"What, you're already starting to miss me?"

Pei Zhi seemed embarrassed and angry, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sikong Ren shrugged. "That's settled then."

Sikong Ren seemed to be comforting Pei Zhi: "Don't worry, even if I die, I can live for hundreds of years, until you get tired of me and my body, and then I'll die."
