A bolt of spiritual energy, as fast as lightning, approached Xiao Wanwan. Upon seeing this, Xiao Wanwan lightly touched the ground with her toes and spun around to dodge Zou Shuang'er's attack.
Zou Shuang'er did not stop because of her dodging; instead, she tightened her grip even more.
"Xiao Wanwan, today is your death day!"
Xiao Wanwan stared unblinkingly at Zou Shuang'er with bloodshot eyes, muttering, "You killed my mother, so I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you..."
Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind swept across the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, and the originally dark night sky was suddenly filled with swirling clouds.
The eerie shadows loomed over the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, making the entire night even more sinister and terrifying.
"It's you, it's you..."
With a sudden spin, she pulled a vine from the tree branch and then moved like a shadow, closing in on Zou Shuang'er.
Before Zou Shuang'er could see Xiao Wanwan's movements clearly, she felt a tree branch pressing against her chin.
Her eyes widened in fear.
How is that possible? How could Xiao Wanwan have such strong spiritual power?
"I will kill you to avenge my mother."
"ah--"
The branch pierced straight into Zou Shuang'er's neck, and blood spurted out instantly, splashing bright red blood all over Xiao Wanwan's face.
But Xiao Wanwan seemed oblivious, thrusting into Zou Shuang'er's neck again and again.
Zou Shuang'er was breathing rapidly and had no time to react before she felt her body being restrained.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. It was actually the Sky-Binding Chain?
Isn't this the chain on the Emperor's body?
Could it be...?
"Who...are you?"
"I'll kill you, kill you..." Xiao Wanwan's eyes were bloodshot, as if she were possessed. She didn't listen at all. There was only one thought in her mind: to avenge her mother.
Tianjue watched Xiao Wanwan's almost insane behavior from the shadows, then flashed to her side, picked her up, and landed her steadily on the ground.
The gap around her neck left Zou Shuang'er without support, and she fell headfirst into the snow.
At this moment, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky. Zou Shuang'er lay on the ground, watching the fine rain fall on her body like silk threads.
A cry of pain.
"Help...help me..."
Tianjue looked at Zou Shuang'er on the ground, then carried Xiao Wanwan to his feet. "Demon Princess, you have harmed the Three Realms, stirred up chaos in the mortal world, and killed so many innocent people. Today is your final day!"
Zou Shuang'er looked weakly at Tian Jue, "No, no... Your Majesty... spare me... I'll never..."
Before Zou Shuang'er could finish speaking, she felt her soul gradually disappearing, and her body slowly becoming transparent.
She was terrified; she regretted it.
But it was all too late.
"If you hadn't harmed Xiao Wanwan, I wouldn't have crossed the border into Fengdu, but you... you harmed her, so don't blame me for being impolite..."
Zou Shuang'er stared wide-eyed at Tian Jue in disbelief, then at Xiao Wanwan, stretching out her hand, which was about to become transparent, "You...you...you actually..."
Just as Zou Shuang'er finished speaking, her figure vanished into the deep night like morning mist, as if she had never been there.
Inside the room, the Marquis of Zhenbei covered his mouth tightly, not allowing himself to make a sound.
His bloodshot eyes peered through the crack in the door at everything that was happening outside.
Wanwan is not an ordinary person.
Besides being a person with spiritual roots, she also had such a powerful expert hidden by her side. No wonder Xiao Wanwan has been so arrogant and domineering all these years, looking down on everyone. So that's how it is.
But the man beside her looked so familiar. He felt like he'd seen him somewhere before.
Before he could think any further, Tianjue took Xiao Wanwan and flew away from there.
At this time of night, the demons ran rampant, turning the once bustling streets into chaos. Every household's doors and windows were broken, and paper windows and doors were scattered all over the ground.
The bloodstains were from who-knows-when; the old ones hadn't even dried before new ones appeared.
While Xiao Wanwan was asleep, Tianjue summoned several spirit pets from her spatial storage.
There are rabbits, there are dogs, there are
Upon seeing the newcomer, the spirit pet cowered in a corner, too frightened to utter a sound.
Tian Jue's eyes flashed, sweeping over them. "If you dare to hide again, I will cripple you all. Come out now."
Several spirit pets hiding in the corner shrank their heads and slowly transformed one by one.
After a while, the three of them transformed one after another.
"Emperor... Your Majesty..."
Tianjue said, "I sent you to follow Ziling, not so you could cower in her space like timid turtles. Do you want me to throw you back into the Demon Realm as despised beggars before you realize the meaning of your existence?"
Upon hearing this, a man dressed in a blue robe with clear eyes immediately knelt down. "No, Your Majesty, if it weren't for you saving us, we would have been killed by the Demon Lord long ago."
“We have a contract with Zi Ling, but she never takes us out. The only time was when we were in the demon realm…”
He spoke softer and softer until his voice became barely audible.
Tianjue held Xiao Wanwan in his arms and stroked her hair. "You should all learn from Tianfeng! Why is she able to appear by Ziling's side every day?"
"us……"
Can they be the same?
The Heavenly Phoenixes were Zi Ling's own contract. They were contracted by Tian Jue before Zi Ling's death. If Zi Ling hadn't discovered their existence herself while entering the space, she probably wouldn't have known about their existence for this lifetime... no... even for ten thousand years!
Another woman, dressed in a pink dress with two rabbit ears sticking out of her hair, said, "Husband, don't worry, we will definitely try our best to win the favor of Fairy Ziling."
"Yes, I'll trust you one more time!"
"Yes!" the three replied in unison.
"Your Majesty, you taught us today..."
"Lock up all the demons in the Holy Kingdom. If even one is missing, I will skin you alive."
"Your Majesty, how long will it take us to catch so many?" the man in the long robe said.
"You are now the Demon Lord, and you ask me? How would I know?"
Tianjue left after saying those words, carrying Xiao Wanwan away from the place.
The group stomped their feet in anger, making a face behind Tian Jue in frustration. "We've never seen such a pathetic emperor, being ordered around by a child..."
"Alright, Jade Dragon Demon Lord, what should we do?" the rabbit spirit asked.
"You're asking me? How would I know!" He's suddenly become the Demon Lord! How could he possibly know how to rule the Demon Realm?
He was originally a little demon, and no one knows what the Emperor saw in him, but he manipulated things to push him to the position of Emperor and even made him sign a contract with Zi Ling.
Zi Ling didn't believe him and never took him out.
If Zi Ling dies, he'll be finished too. He'll have been a Demon Lord for a day, but he'll have become two suckers.
"Fallen Leaf, what do you think the Emperor saw in you? Why did he want you to form a contract with him?"
