She was the only deity in all the heavens, and he was the demon imprisoned by the deity. On the day the deity fell, he slaughtered an entire city for her.

Chapter 786 The Return of the Gods 70
Quan Jiu stood there motionless. The whip came hard at her face with a fierce sound of wind. Just as the whip was about to break her fair and tender skin, a pair of big hands with distinct joints stretched out, and the palms firmly grasped the long whip with barbs.
The long and thin barbs penetrated the flesh and bones of the palm, almost piercing the entire palm. The bright red blood flowed down along the curve of the metacarpal bone, dripping onto the ground, and soon formed a pool of blood.
"His Majesty!"
Wan Yingzhi's face suddenly changed, and the whip in his hand loosened. He looked at the wound on his hand in horror. The palace servants around him looked panicked and knelt down in unison.
Tang Lu's pair of phoenix eyes drooped slightly, the corners of his eyes were still raised, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
"She is the queen of the demon tribe. If you hit her, you are hitting me in the face. It seems that the Right Protector has many complaints against me?"
"Your Majesty, you know I'm not angry with you..."
Wan Yingzhi wanted to explain herself, but was grabbed by the arm by the left protector. With so many palace maids and ministers staring at her, she had no choice but to bow her head and admit her mistake reluctantly.
"I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
With so many people watching, she couldn't cause trouble with Tang Lu, as it would only damage his prestige among the demon clan.
Tang law: "Thirty whips to subdue demons."
As soon as these words were spoken, the left protector who had just admonished Wan Yingzhi also changed his expression.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Yingzhi can't withstand the thirty-fold demon whip."
Tang Lu's face remained expressionless, his attitude showing no sign of softening. "Since you're pleading for her, then you should be punished along with her."
Wan Yingzhi grabbed the left protector's arm and said coldly, "It's okay. It's only thirty lashes. I can handle it."
She looked at Tang Lu, bowed and left.
Everyone around them retreated. Quan Jiu stared at Tang Lu's still bleeding palm and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tang Lu: "So much blood has been shed, what do you think, Master?"
You have no conscience. If you really cared about him, you would have treated his wounds and given him medicine long ago instead of just asking him perfunctorily like you are now.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Quan Jiu pretended to be concerned and said, "Shall I ask two palace maids to apply the medicine for you?"
"You come."
………
"Fortunately, it didn't pierce through."
Quan Jiu tied a beautiful and delicate bow with gauze and wrapped his palm like a gift. The playful and cute bow added a touch of softness to the cold man.
"My right hand is injured and I can't eat. Master, please feed me."
Tang Lu became more and more aggressive, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and trembling when she spoke, like a trembling butterfly.
Quan Jiu didn't buy into this act of coquettishness. After bandaging him, he stood up from the bed and said indifferently:
"The right hand is injured, but don't we still have the left hand?"
Tang Lu knew there was no hope, so he lay sickly at the head of his bed, like a resentful husband:
"Master has such a cruel heart."
Quan Jiu's mouth twitched, he was too lazy to pay attention to this drama queen:
"I'm going back first."
………
It was three o'clock in the morning.
The woman who was originally sleeping with her eyes closed sat up from the bed, quietly put on a hat, covered her face with a black scarf, and quietly went out.
The guard guarding the entrance to the main hall was dozing off by the door. The incident with the Right Protector had just happened during the day, so the man inside would be well behaved for two days.
The person who went out was Quan Jiu.
Looking at the host who was obviously not doing anything serious, the system asked doubtfully:
"Host, are you planning to marry Tang Lu?"
The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow night, but at this critical moment, she is sneaking around in her nightgown.
"I was crazy to marry him."
Tang Lu is sick, but she is not.
Since the other party said that she would give the mother Gu to her after the wedding night, it meant that Tang Lu was cautious enough and did not intend to be a nominal couple with her.
There was no way she could really marry Tang Lu.
The system suddenly understood: "So you picked a fight with the Right Protector during the day and made a big fuss just to steal the Mother Gu tonight?"
Such a big thing just happened, and the wedding is the day after tomorrow. According to normal people's thinking, she would at least be quiet for two days.
Quan Jiu: "Not entirely. Tang law doesn't allow me to have an easy life, so I naturally have to reciprocate."
The two protectors are more like Tang Lu's right-hand men. The protectors have been loyal for so many years, and she hopes to take this opportunity to drive the two apart.
However, based on how much Wan Yingzhi loves Tang Lu, she will probably blame all of Tang Lu's punishment today on her.
During the conversation, they had arrived at Tang Lu's room. Quan Jiu concentrated and held her breath, eavesdropping for a while. When she found that the breathing of the person in the room had calmed down, she cast a spell and turned herself into a butterfly with a black background and silver stripes.
The man on the bed had his eyes closed. She flew around twice and landed beside Tang Lu's pillow.
Pillow side, no.
Under the mattress, no.
Tang Lu's clothes were smooth on his chest, and it didn't look like he was hiding anything.
She stopped on the gauze curtain, looked around, and when she saw the clothes Tang Lu took off, she flew over.
There is a bulge in the pocket of the clothes, there is something.
Quan Jiu's eyes lit up with joy, and just as she was about to transform into a human form, a slender hand grabbed her wings.
The man's voice was low and lazy:
"Where did this little butterfly come from? It's flying straight into my robes."
Quan Jiu flapped his wings and tried to run away, but he was too strong and his delicate wings couldn't even move his fingers away.
Tang Lu played with the little butterfly in his hand with relish, and raised his hand to touch her antennae.
"I'm already here, why don't you jump into my arms?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
You stinking idiot, die for me! !
Looking at the playful smile in the other person's eyes, Quan Jiu seriously suspected that the other person recognized him.
Tang Lu had already turned around and walked towards the cabinet: "Such a beautiful butterfly, it would be a shame not to make it into a specimen."
Quan Jiu watched him take out a transparent cover and try to put her in it.
She closed her eyes, looking a bit gritted-teethed. Tang Lu chuckled softly, and in the end he didn't take her in.
Quan Jiu listened to his laughter, and the remaining doubts in his heart disappeared.
This damn pervert clearly recognized her from the beginning!
She dodged, transformed into a human form, and escaped from Tang Lu's fingertips.
The man watched this scene with interest:
"If Master wanted my underwear, he could have just asked. Why would he sneak into my room in the middle of the night?"
Quan Jiu ignored his dirty talk and went straight for the clothes with both hands. A fan flew out from Tang Lu's sleeve and knocked Quan Jiu's arm off course. Her fingertips brushed the edge of the clothes but didn't touch the bamboo tube!
A breeze blew by, and the robe he had taken off returned to Tang Lu. The man's lips curled slightly, and his gray eyes narrowed slightly.
"Master is still not obedient."
Quan Jiu soon found that she could not move. It was the prelude to the attack of the insect. While she was stunned, Tang Lu pinched her jaw and stuffed a round object into her lips.
She raised her jaw slightly, and the pill slid into her throat. After a long time, it turned into water and flowed down the throat.
"What did you give me to eat?" Quan Jiu pinched his throat.
