"If... if we manage to get back alive this time, I'll give you the male fox you want."

Upon hearing her nemesis's words, Liu Meiniang immediately perked up.

"You keep your word?"

The arch-enemy sneered, "Of course, I'm not like you, always lying."

Liu Meiniang retorted, "I lied to you because you snatched the fox I had my eye on first, and took her away while I went back to get the money."

Before the two could say anything more, their other companion spoke up, "I truly admire you guys. We're about to die, and you're still arguing."

"Shut up."

Liu Meiniang and her mortal enemy roared in unison.

After the shouting, everyone quieted down.

Actually, they were afraid too.

They had never been on a battlefield before, but when they learned that the demon realm had sent troops, they still came to the front lines without hesitation.

Liu Meiniang suddenly said, "I hope that after I die, my father will praise me a few times."

Upon hearing this, the arch-enemy said, "So you know, you've caused Elder Liu a lot of trouble, haven't you?"

Liu Meiniang glared at her: "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? How are you any better than me?"

The arch-rival curled his lip, "In this lifetime, I guess I'll never be able to make my dad proud even once."

Several highly skilled elders from the demon realm were absent, as was the Demon Lord, yet they could not retreat.

Even if they die today, they will defend this place to the death, because there are thousands upon thousands of little demons waiting for them to protect them.

An hour later, Zhong Changyuan opened his eyes, holding his sword, staring indifferently ahead.

Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Master, they are all innocent."

The demons in front of them hadn't done anything wrong, but if their master were to go on a killing spree now, their path to advancement would be much more difficult.

"I said, if Pei Zhi is not handed over in seven days, I will surely massacre the demon realm."

Qi Yan was about to say something when Zhong Changyuan glanced at him and said, "Or do you also want to stand on the opposite side of your master?"

Qi Yan was so frightened that he dared not say another word. His master was no longer the same master he used to be.

Upon seeing Zhong Changyuan take out the Divine Sword, Liu Meiniang and the others became wary.

The mortal rival muttered, "Good heavens, if a sword immortal were to strike, do you think we'd be reduced to ashes in an instant?"

Among all cultivators in the cultivation world, sword immortals are inherently the strongest in combat.

Moreover, the person standing before them was Zhong Changyuan, the number one cultivator in the world.

When Liu Meiniang and her companions faced them, they had absolutely no chance to fight back.

Zhong Changyuan swung his sword, and Liu Meiniang and the others blocked it.

But they were actually prepared to die.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhong Changyuan's sword strike was blocked by another sword intent.

Despite this, Liu Meiniang and the others standing at the forefront were still knocked to the ground by the impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gao Fengzhu was also quite surprised to see the sword intent that appeared out of thin air: "Is this Changyuan's sword intent?"

How could there be a Divine Sword Intent in the Demon Realm that is so similar to Zhong Changyuan's?

Zhong Changyuan understood and sheathed his sword. "Zhizhi, since you're here, come home with me."

Pei Zhi, dressed in a red wedding gown, descended from the sky. It was Pei Zhi who had just torn up the talisman that Zhong Changyuan had given her.

The talisman contained Zhong Changyuan's full-force sword strike.

However, it was a sword strike from Zhong Changyuan when he was in the Nascent Soul stage; Zhong Changyuan is now in the Mahayana stage.

Therefore, Liu Meiniang and the others were still injured.

Gao Shijie followed closely behind, helping Liu Meiniang and the others up, asking, "Are you alright?"

Liu Meiniang wiped the blood away with the back of her hand. "I'm fine, but Pei Zhi is..."

Zhong Changyuan looked at Pei Zhi, who was dressed in red, and extended his hand, "Now that you're all dressed, come back with me and we'll get married."

Pei Zhi raised her voice slightly: "Master, you know that I'm not wearing this dress to marry you."

Gao Feng whispered in Pei Tianming's ear, "Zhizhi's got guts, huh?"

He could still utter such provocative words in front of Zhong Changyuan, who was at the Mahayana stage.

Zhong Changyuan sneered, "So what? Who can stop me today?"

Pei Zhi looked stubbornly at Zhong Changyuan, "Master, I don't want to, and you don't care? I don't want to..."

"Enough." Zhong Changyuan didn't want to hear any more. "You don't want to marry me, you don't like me, you don't want to be with me. You don't need to say these things anymore."

"Even so, so what? If I want it, I will get it."

Zhong Changyuan pointed his sword at the demons behind Pei Zhi, "If you obediently come back with me today, I will pretend that what happened before never happened."

"If you remain obstinate, then let's use the blood of the demon race to add some color to our wedding banquet."

Gao Shijie frowned upon hearing this. This Uncle Zhong Changyuan in front of him was really... obsessed.

"Stubborn to the end?" Pei Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Who exactly was the one who was stubborn to the end?

Pei Zhi was unwilling to waste any more words. If she could really persuade Zhong Changyuan, things wouldn't have come to this.

Pei Zhi strode forward and walked towards Zhong Changyuan.

Seeing this, Liu Meiniang was about to shout, but Gao Shijie held down her arm, telling her to be quiet.

Everyone in the cultivation world stared at Pei Zhi, wondering what she meant.

Gao Feng whispered, "Looks like my niece isn't that brave after all. She's already given up?"

She only argued a couple of times, and then she obediently listened? That's rather boring.

Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, be careful, it might be a trap."

Zhong Changyuan still reached out his hand to Pei Zhi, seemingly without any defenses against her.

When Pei Zhi was a step away from Zhong Changyuan, she stopped. Then, she stood on tiptoe and put her hand on Zhong Changyuan's shoulder.

Zhong Changyuan nodded slightly, following Pei Zhi's guidance.

Pei Zhi kissed him directly in front of everyone.

Both the cultivation world and the demon world were stunned by Pei Zhi's actions.

Weren't we supposed to fight?

Why are they kissing?

It's so embarrassing to do it in front of so many people.

The sect leader of the Miaoyin Sect snorted coldly, "As expected of Sect Leader Pei's daughter, she knows how to bend and stretch."

"Otherwise, how could he have captivated both the Sword Immortal and Sikong Ren?"

Pei Tianming's face also darkened, as if he felt that Pei Zhi's behavior made him feel ashamed.

On the demon side, they were mostly just annoyed.

They believed that Pei Zhi's actions were an attempt to make peace with Zhong Changyuan.

After Pei Zhi arrived in the demon realm and stirred up a mess, she realized things were going badly and went to curry favor with Zhong Changyuan.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Pei Zhi used her spiritual power to transfer the antidote into Zhong Changyuan's mouth.

Pei Zhi finally made the antidote, but due to time constraints, there was only one dose.

She tried to get Zhong Changyuan to eat it, but he definitely wouldn't. The only way to catch him off guard was to...

Pei Zhi kissed Zhong Changyuan in front of so many people, leaving Zhong Changyuan completely bewildered, not knowing what Pei Zhi was trying to do.

But how could Zhong Changyuan refuse Pei Zhi's offer?

By the time Zhong Changyuan realized that drugs had entered his body, it was too late.
