Mu Tiantian has a small hole on the side of each of the silver rings on her wrist.

She didn't know what the bracelet was for.

Ming Cang's slender fingers caressed her delicate cheek.

The next moment, Mu Tiantian's face returned to normal, her almond-shaped eyes filled with worry, and her pink and full lips were tightly pursed.

The places where his fingertips brushed against caused shivers.

Suddenly, Mu Tiantian realized that neither of them seemed to be wearing clothes.

This realization made her blush slightly.

Being so close together made her feel a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian still didn't speak, Ming Cang stroked her slender neck with his large hand, gently squeezing it with a little force. Mu Tiantian subconsciously tilted her head back, resting it on his shoulder.

"Ayan, Ayan, let's talk this out." Mu Tiantian quickly grasped his large hand that was still exerting force.

Her voice was still as melodious and captivating as ever.

Especially when she calls him "Ayan", her voice is so sweet it touches his heart.

He wanted to hear her call out again.

Ming Cang quickly shook off the unpleasant thoughts in his mind and sneered, "Ayan? Thanks to you, my name has been crossed out of the Temple of Divine Names, and there is no more Cangyan in the world."

When he uttered the words "Cangyan," his internal organs felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and he experienced excruciating pain.

Mu Tiantian was stunned by his words.

She suddenly remembered that the names of all the gods in the Celestial Realm were bestowed by the Temple of Divine Names, and their names would appear in the Temple of Divine Names from the moment they were born.

If a god falls into the underworld and becomes a demon, then the Temple of Gods will erase his name.

This name can no longer be used.

But she didn't know what the consequences would be after erasing it.

To date, only Cang Yan has become a demon.

Mu Tiantian suddenly felt that this grudge seemed to have grown even stronger.

Despite the pain from being struck by lightning, Ming Cang continued, "Calling me so affectionately, do you think our relationship is good now? Or do you have some other scheme to harm me?"

"Ah... Demon Lord, I had no ulterior motives. I really didn't know this was your territory." If she had known Cang Yan would come here, why would she have bothered soaking in the hot springs?

They'll definitely finish mining the remaining silver mine quickly, then run off with the silver.

Even if she wanted to get close to him again, she would never do it in this way.

That's too dangerous.

After a long pause, Ming Cang said slowly, "I think it's better to crush your throat, so that... you won't say anything wrong again."

So as not to be seduced by her voice again.

"Why don't we just strangle him?" With that, Ming Cang began to tighten his grip.

Mu Tiantian felt a suffocating sensation in her throat, and her breathing became difficult.

Is he serious?

Mu Tiantian: [Seven Commanders! Didn't you say you'd teleport me if my life was in danger? Why haven't you started yet? Do you want to wait until he strangles me to death?]

System: [I'd like to too, but the life-saving teleportation system detects that you are not in any personal danger.]

Mu Tiantian: [What? I was almost strangled to death and you're saying there's no danger?]

When Ming Cang saw that she was having difficulty breathing and was almost suffocating, his heart softened and he immediately loosened his grip on her neck.

Mu Tiantian took a deep breath of fresh air.

I almost thought I was going to die here.

It seems that he...may...probably doesn't intend to kill her for the time being.

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. In order to prevent him from being further agitated, she carefully climbed ashore.

When Ming Cang saw her actions, he didn't stop her. Instead, he released his hand from her neck.

After Mu Tiantian climbed ashore, she looked back at Ming Cang.

Water droplets flowed down his full, muscular chest, past his perfectly sculpted eight-pack abs, and into the spring water.

Mu Tiantian couldn't help but swallow hard, then chuckled, "Demon Lord, I won't get in your way anymore. I'll definitely get as far away as possible so you don't have to worry about me."

After saying that, Mu Tiantian immediately grabbed the wedding dress from the shore and was about to cast a spell to put it on.

Suddenly, the world spun around, and my body was out of my control.

The next moment, she pressed herself against Ming Cang again, her hands seemingly being dragged by something, wrapping around Ming Cang's neck.

Mu Tiantian blinked, staring blankly at the dark eyes so close to hers.

What happened?

Swish—

A cluster of flames suddenly ignited.

Mu Tiantian heard the sound and turned around to see the wedding dress engulfed in flames, which quickly burned to ashes.

She glanced at the burned wedding dress and asked him earnestly, "What am I going to wear later?"

"Do you really like that wedding dress?" Ming Cang's voice was cold, but there seemed to be a hint of sourness in his tone.

"I don't like it," Mu Tiantian said truthfully.

She tried to pull her arms back from around his neck, only to find that her wrists were trapped and she couldn't separate them.

She raised her arms, trying to get them over his head, and this time she saw him clearly.

It was the silver ring that had been on her wrists before. A silver chain extended from the holes in the two rings and was intertwined with them, just like handcuffs.

Mu Tiantian: "......"

Ming Cang's lips moved slightly as he uttered a spell.

The silver ring on Mu Tiantian's hand once again spiraled uncontrollably back behind Ming Cang's head, encircling him. She lost her footing and stumbled forward.

Ming Cang instinctively reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

The surroundings were extremely quiet; she could even hear their heartbeats.

Thump thump... thump thump...

At the same time, a drop of blood appeared on the burned wedding dress on the shore and flew away into the distance.

Inside the Demon Palace, a man in red sat on a leopard chair made of pure gold, resting with his eyes closed.

Mu Yexuan frowned, then suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils fixed on the blood droplet flying towards him, and reached out to grasp it.

"Northern Netherworld".

As soon as he finished speaking, a black snake crawled into the hall, transformed into a human, and respectfully said, "Demon Lord."

Mu Yexuan showed the blood droplets on his hand to Bei You and asked, "What happened here?"

Bei You was somewhat surprised to see the drop of blood, but his expression remained wooden as he replied, "This is because the Demon Queen's wedding dress was destroyed, which is why your essence blood has returned."

After a while, the blood droplets in Mu Yexuan's palm slowly seeped into his skin.

If Mu Yexuan's true form is a leopard cat, then the Empress's wedding dress must be embroidered with his true form.

Finally, a drop of blood is dripped onto the embroidered pattern to make it more lifelike and to symbolize the queen's unique status.

When Bei You was making the wedding dress, she asked Mu Yexuan if he needed to add his essence blood. If he didn't, then his status would change from Demon Queen to Demon Concubine.

Mu Yexuan agreed without hesitation.

After all, he had promised her the position of Demon Queen, and as the Demon Lord, he would naturally not go back on his word.

In fact, when he made that promise to Mu Tiantian back then, he never thought about keeping it.

At that time, Mu Tiantian was just a pawn to him.

If she hadn't accidentally discovered his true identity, perhaps this promise would never have existed.

Several hundred years ago.

Mu Tiantian disguised herself as an insignificant celestial lord in the heavenly realm and became very close to the Cang Yan and Cang Lan siblings.

She accidentally discovered a leopard cat stealing spirit fruits in the fairy fruit garden. Being very curious, she grabbed its tail and lifted it up.

"Cats? There are cats in the celestial realm?"
