"She is in the Demon Realm."

Ye Qingchen frowned and looked at Wen Chuyu with a puzzled expression: "Why did she go to the Demon Realm?"

"She possesses the Netherworld Mirror, a treasure of the Demon Realm. The Netherworld Mirror can help her travel through everything to reach the Demon Realm."

Ye Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then she used the Netherworld Mirror to leave the pyramid. It's good that she's alright, it's good that she's alright.

Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Is she alone in the Demon Realm?"

Wen Chuyu nodded. A hint of worry flashed in Ye Qingchen's eyes. As if seeing what he was thinking, she said, "She is very safe in the Demon King's Palace. Murong Zheng is the Second Prince of the Demon Clan, and the Demon King Qinghu knows her too."

"Wait, what did you say the Demon King's name was?"

The image of the person Ye Qingchen had met in the far north flashed through his mind.

"Azure Arc".

"Are his eyes golden?"

Wen Chuyu nodded, and a look of surprise flashed in Ye Qingchen's eyes, "So it was him..."

"You two know each other?"

"I wouldn't say I know them, I've only met them before!"

Seeing that Ye Qingchen didn't want to talk about it, Wen Chuyu didn't press further: "I'm leaving."

After Wen Chuyu left, Ye Qingchen weakly leaned against the wall and went to the bedside to use his divine power to repair his body. The injuries caused by the heavenly tribulation were not easy to heal. Last time, he had to go into seclusion for ten whole days to recover 70%.

Ji Jiuying woke up at noon the next day and discovered that she had unknowingly broken through the barrier and advanced to become a god!

What's going on?

Looking around the main hall again, something seemed familiar. Suddenly, some unpleasant images flooded her mind, and her pupils contracted sharply!

This is! The Demon King's bedroom! What's going on here? Logically speaking, if she used the Netherworld Mirror, Qinghu should have discovered her and come looking for her.

And now she was in the Demon King's bedroom! Ji Jiuying was speechless and questioned the heavens!

No, that demon king is unpredictable. We must slip away while no one is watching.

"Oh, so you're awake?"

Qingwan walked in and saw Ji Jiuying getting out of bed. When she met those clear, bright eyes, a look of amazement flashed across her face.

"Princess Wan?"

Ji Jiuying blurted out, and Qing Wan looked at her in surprise: "You...know me?"

Ji Jiuying immediately deflated and quickly pretended to be stupid, since Princess Wan wasn't very bright anyway.

"Huh? No, no."

"I don't know you."

Qingwan frowned, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "But you just called me Princess Wan."

"Really?" Ji Jiuying feigned doubt.

Qing Wan nodded earnestly, and Ji Jiuying added, "Impossible, you must have misheard. How could I possibly know you..."

"But what you just did..."

"What I just called was, 'Wow, dog!' Not 'Your Highness.' If you don't believe me, Your Highness, look."

Ji Jiuying pointed behind Qingwan, and Qingwan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a fluffy white ball of fur not far behind her.

Ji Jiuying stepped forward, picked it up, and petted it in her arms.

"See, I'm calling for Gouzi!"

Evil Fire: !!!

You're the dog, your whole family are dogs.

Qingwan began to doubt herself; could it be that she had really misheard?

"By the way, you..."

Before Qing Wan could finish speaking, Ji Jiuying struck her unconscious from behind with a palm strike, and the evil fire was ruthlessly thrown into her spatial dimension.

Evil Fire: "Women are all the same. They come when they're useful, and leave when they're no longer useful!"

The evil fire hid in a corner, picked up a twig and kept drawing circles on the ground.

Ji Jiuying: ······

The people in the space breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ji Jiuying wake up, but how did she suddenly end up in the Demon Realm?

It wasn't until Hei Xiangling and Dongfang Yao explained that they suddenly realized that it was precisely because of the Netherworld Mirror that they were able to leave the pyramid.

"Little beauty, do you really not need our help?"

Upon hearing Si Yu's words, Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly: "What? You want to come out and meet your little lover?"

Upon hearing Ji Jiuying's words, everyone in the space looked at Si Yu and suddenly realized that Si Yu of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace liked this type!

Noticing the looks on everyone's faces, Si Yu's lips twitched slightly: "What are you saying, little beauty? I only like the little beauty type."

"······"

Xiao Yichen hadn't even recovered from what happened in this space when now a Netherworld Mirror appeared. According to Hei Xiangling's explanation, it was given to him by an ordinary demon. This didn't make sense. How could a Netherworld Mirror be in the hands of an ordinary demon?

He felt he needed to remind her.

“Ninth Girl, you must be wary of the demon who gave you the Netherworld Mirror. I have seen the Netherworld Mirror in an ancient book. It is not just a magic weapon of the demon race. It is also the key to opening the demon race's barrier. The Netherworld Mirror is usually in the hands of the demon king. It is impossible for it to be in the hands of an ordinary demon.”

After listening to Xiao Yichen's words, Si Yu also remembered the last time the little beauty came to save him. It was because of that Qinghu that she was able to successfully enter the Demon Palace from the Demon City.

How could an ordinary demon know which parts of the demon palace were safe and which were dangerous? The thought suddenly filled him with dread.

Ji Jiuying also thought of what Si Yu thought of: if Qinghu was the Demon King, then why did he lie to her before?

Thinking about how he had completely fooled her, an unnamed fire ignited in Ji Jiuying's heart.

After leaving the Demon Palace, Ji Jiuying followed the route she remembered and walked outside, but unexpectedly bumped into someone.

"you!"

"Murong Zheng, what are you doing here?"

Murong Zheng didn't speak, but instead pulled her into a secluded room.

"You want to leave here?"

"Of course I want to, but I have very important things to take care of and must leave immediately." Ji Jiuying added, "By the way, you still haven't told me why I'm here?"

Just after asking, I thought about it again. Murong Zheng is a half-demon, so it seems there's nothing wrong with him in the demon race. However, isn't it a bit strange that he appeared in the Demon Palace?

"I was..."

What are you two doing here?

A cold voice interrupted Murong Zheng's next words.

Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold as she scrutinized the suddenly appearing demon king. He was still wearing a fox mask, radiating a chilling aura. He stared intently at her with those golden eyes.

She had seen Qinghu's golden eyes before, but when she first came to the Demon Realm, she noticed that every demon had a different eye color. She subconsciously thought that this was just a characteristic of demons. When she first saw the Demon King's golden eyes, she never doubted him for a moment.

Looking back now, she realized that she had seen many different colored pupils along the way, but there was no other demon with golden pupils.

The golden eyes beneath the mask also looked at her, their scrutiny, inquiry, and doubt so blatantly obvious.

Ji Jiuying approached him step by step, her eyes scrutinizing every detail and every move he made.

"You are Qinghu!"
