"Your Highness, why don't you just give in? Why torture yourself like this?"

"No, I did nothing wrong, I will never admit defeat!"

"Alas! If you do this, the Heavenly Emperor... alas!"

Every day, three bolts of lightning strike Yan Ze, leaving him covered in wounds. The coldness and loneliness he once had are gone from his brows; now, there is an unwavering determination that will never give up.

The old man with floating dust, who was also the Immortal Lord of Destiny who gave Ling Yanze the jade pendant at the beginning, shook his head and sighed when he saw that he could not persuade Ling Yanze. He tapped his fingers lightly, as if he was calculating something.

"Well, it's all fate. We can't go against destiny. I hope your persistence hasn't been in vain!"

Xiang Wan, who had run out of the Demon Palace, did not go far, but just wandered around the vicinity.

The demon army patrols everywhere, and there aren't many places to go.

"Hey, have you heard? Our Demon Lord is finally going to marry the Demon Queen."

"I know, I know, she is Princess Zixuan, the daughter of the Purple Forest Demon Lord."

"I've seen her once, and she's absolutely stunning. She and our Demon Lord are a perfect match."

"We don't know what kind of person she is. We servants just hope to have a good master."

"I don't know, but I heard they're pretty good at martial arts."

"Wow, wouldn't that mean she has a fiery temper?"

"Who knows? What can we do? We just have to take good care of them."

"Okay, let's go!"

As the two demon servants walked away, Xiang Wan felt a sense of novelty.

The Demon Lord? Could it be that capricious fellow?

She deserves to be paired with a fiery and ruthless queen; it would be better if they fought each other after marriage—it'll be quite a spectacle!

Xiang Wan looked on with schadenfreude, secretly deciding to find a good place to observe this future Demon Queen of the Demon Lord.

"Little fox, it's time to get to work!"

The voice rang directly in her mind, and Xiang Wan almost exploded.

The idea of ​​someone using telepathy to communicate with others without warning is terrifying!

Considering Mingyan's strength, Xiang Wan had no choice but to obediently return to the Demon Palace.

"Grind it for me!"

"Bring me the plate!"

"Put the boots on the rack and bring me a coat."

"Tell the cook to send over some snacks."

"It's dirty here, wipe it."

"Call Chongying over here. You go outside the hall and guard it. Don't let anyone in."

"Go..." "Hurry up..."

These past few days, I've been so tired I'm out of breath.

The work was originally meant for humans, but Mingyan insisted on making her, a fox, do it all, and wouldn't even let her transform into human form.

Imagine a fox grinding grains, serving tea and water, and calling for people; that tells you how miserable she is.

Xiang Wan strongly suspected that Ming Yan was deliberately picking a fight with her just because she had transformed into a human form and looked like someone he didn't like.

Having finally managed to steal a moment, Xiang Wan transformed again and carefully examined her appearance using the Illusion Water Mirror. Apart from being beautiful, Xiang Wan really couldn't find anything about herself that would make her unlikable, unless there was a secret she didn't know about it.

Double image will definitely know!

This guy has been following Mingyan around all this time, he must know something. She has to find a way to pry something out of him.

Taking advantage of Mingyan leaving the main hall, Xiang Wan, as usual, instructed Chongying to go to the main hall to find the Demon Lord. Then, she ran back to the main hall, transformed into human form, and used a faintly visible screen to block herself to one side of the hall, concealing her aura.

"Demon Lord, you summoned me?"

Chongying rushed over, but instead of seeing the Demon Lord, he spotted Xiang Wan hiding behind the screen.

Xiang Wan slowly stood up, turning her face to him.

"Ling Yanze, you've finally come."

Ling Yanze? Who is that?

Xiang Wan didn't say anything, slowly turned her head, and stood with her hands behind her back.

"Have you become restless since you heard that our Demon Lord is getting married?"

The mocking voices were extremely harsh!

"So what if it's the Celestial Clan? We, the Demon Lord, have never taken them seriously. If it weren't for you, do you think the Heavenly Emperor would still be sitting there unharmed?"

Just because the Demon Lord won't touch you doesn't mean I, Double Shadow, won't dare to touch you!

For ten thousand years, the Demon Lord has never had anyone else in his heart. What are you putting on airs for?

Very well, once our demon race has a demon queen, you will no longer be able to influence the demon lord.

"You can leave now, but don't come back again."

Xiang Wan paused, wondering if Ming Yan was in love with someone from the Celestial Clan. That was incredibly interesting!

"Don't say you've come to see your fox. In your heart, the Demon Lord is probably not as important as a fox."

With a cold laugh, Chongying turned and left the main hall.

Xiang Wan was stunned by Chongying's words, "Your fox?" Does she have an owner? Is it Ling Yanze? Does the Demon Lord like this person?

If that's the case, then the person she transformed into is most likely related to the person Chongying mentioned. Moreover, Mingyan might have turned from love to hate, otherwise he wouldn't have said he wanted to destroy her transformed appearance.

Xiang Wan tried hard to make sense of what was going on, but the more she thought about it, the more her head ached.

There must be something she's forgotten!

She wants to find the answer!

She was going to the Celestial Clan to find that person, to find Ling Yanze!

Xiang Wan transformed into a wisp of green smoke and slipped out of the Demon Palace, rushing headlong towards the human world.

Of the three realms, only the human realm serves as the link between the demon realm and the heavenly realm.

Xiang Wan didn't know where to go, so she followed her intuition and headed towards the entrance to the human world.

"Double image, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Yes, I can't stand seeing the Demon Lord compromise. You're willing to marry a woman you don't love for his sake, so why should he live a peaceful life?"

"This is my business, and it's none of your concern!"

"I am willing to accept the punishment, but I will never regret it."
