Two months later, it was a pitch-black night with a cold wind howling. A waning moon hung halfway in the inky sky, obscured by dark clouds, revealing only a faint, pale glow.
The rosemary flowers hidden deep within the Magical Plant Forest suddenly trembled, as if receiving some command, and quietly blossomed into dreamy, light purple blossoms in the dark and eerie night...
The original unique fragrance has been strengthened layer by layer and has turned into a light and light fragrance, which enters the mouth and nose silently and is difficult to detect.
It was early winter and the weather was cold. At this moment, all the spiritual beasts in the Magic Plant Forest had already fallen asleep and were sleeping soundly.
It was quiet all around, eerily quiet, desolate quiet.
In the huge Demonic Palace, there is only a small red figure moving slowly at this moment. The pitch-black palace and the gloomy coldness seem to have permeated the crimson and graceful figure. The blood-red dress adds a creepy weirdness to the cold night.
Shen Wuyou silently raised her foot and walked up the spiral staircase that she had never set foot on. Her bright smile was gone, and at this moment, her face was filled with indifference and depth.
Her eyes, which were as bright and dazzling as stars, were now dull and lifeless. Her pupils were so dark that no expression could be seen, and they were calm without any ripples.
Thinking back to her conversation with Bai Yumo today, she felt a wave of anxiety and confusion in her heart...
"Demon Lord? Demon King? Let me think about it... It seems that according to the rumors, they don't have any special relationship. If there is any, it's only hatred."
"Rumor has it that the old Demon Lord suddenly died over three hundred years ago. The new Demon Lord grew at an astonishing rate and suppressed the Gu Clan with lightning speed. His terrifying cultivation, said to be a hundred thousand years old, has sparked much speculation."
"Some say that the Demon Lord killed the old Demon Lord and drained all of his cultivation, which is why he is so powerful and terrifying."
"Some also questioned that although the old demon lord was quite powerful, he was at most a Heavenly Rank expert and could never have reached the level of cultivation he has achieved after a hundred thousand years..."
"In short, this is a very strange thing."
"But since you said that the Demon Lord's habits don't seem like those of a native demon, then I'm probably leaning towards the first one. The Demon Lord killed the old Demon Lord and ate his heart to gain such a powerful cultivation. At the same time, he also absorbed such a strong demonic energy and became a demon."
"As for what you said about the Demon Lord condoning the Demon Lord... I don't know what the situation is. But the Demon Lord should indeed hate the Demon Lord. After all, he killed his father, and the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable."
Revenge for the murder of my father?
Shen Wuyou felt that the rumors were wrong. From the contact over the past few months, it seemed that the Demon Lord was not the kind of person who was ambitious and craved power. On the contrary, he would not even take the initiative to kill people unless it was absolutely necessary.
But, he does not look like a demon.
Although he seems cold and heartless, he is actually kind and generous at heart and has the virtues of a saint.
If he had really gone through brutal battles step by step to reach his current position, how could he be completely defenseless against her who came from unknown origins?
This was the first time Shen Wuyou approached him without his permission. Looking at his sleeping face, which was cold and resolute, with clear contours and deep and charming features, he didn't know what kind of nightmare he was having.
Rosemary is extremely powerful and can lead people into the saddest, most painful and torturous nightmares. Once they are hit, it is very difficult to break free and extremely difficult to wake up.
Shen Wuyou slowly stretched out her hand and gently smoothed his furrowed brows. However, after a moment, he frowned deeply again. His expression seemed to be in pain, but his face was so dull that she couldn't see clearly.
The Demon Lord's body was very strong. She gently placed her hands on him and could feel his strong physique, firm chest muscles, and regular heartbeat...
She had hardly ever seen him take action. In her memory, he was always standing there alone, towering like a mountain. His majestic aura made all the demons submit and worship him. He looked down at all living beings from a high position, with a cold and indifferent look in his eyes, devoid of any emotion.
He is like a god, a lonely and powerful god, above all living beings, without sorrow or joy, without desire or demand.
But God forgot that humans are greedy...
Shen Wuyou's fingers gradually moved to the left side of his chest, where there was vibrant vitality and perhaps supreme divine power.
Beneath his fingers, within his chest, a fiery heart was beating, rhythmically and powerfully. Just like its owner, it was intimidating.
Her eyes moved slightly, and a few flickering lights flashed across her eyes.
If the rumors were true, then this heart, which contained a hundred thousand years of cultivation, would be enough to support her to stand proudly in the world, no longer fearing any capture or pursuit;
If the rumors were false, she would not lose anything. Killing a demon supreme who was feared by everyone would only make the world calmer and more peaceful.
What's more, the Demon Lord is under her command at this moment. He has fallen into a deep dream and is completely defenseless. It would be effortless for her to kill him and cut out his heart.
So, why not do it?
Qingli's problem has been resolved, and they are about to set off for the next stop, so they contacted her and wanted to pick her up.
But the Northern Territory was so vast that she had followed the Demon Lord for two months, a full two months, to conquer several cities, but she still could not find a possible route.
Even the ghost general returned with regret.
Besides, this is the world of the demons, and they are immortals who have mortal grudges against the demons. If they come, they will probably cause trouble and bring disaster.
So, she had to save herself and go to reunite.
However, the Demon Lord will not let her go.
so...
Shen Wuyu's gaze darkened, and she gradually increased the force of her fingers on his chest. She thought, this pain would not last long, just a moment, just a moment, and he would die in the nightmare without anyone noticing.
Soon, very soon...
Demon Lord...
He quells chaos, does not like killing, does not seek fame or fortune, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and also... indulges her little thoughts.
Actually, he is a very good person.
Except that I was a little too persistent when treating her...
Her fingers trembled slightly, and her heart was filled with hesitation, uneasiness and guilt...
She thought, why not treat her a little worse? Even if it was just a little bit worse, she wouldn't be struggling like she is now, filled with guilt that prevented her from doing it.
On one side is the coveted 100,000 years of cultivation. With it, she will look down on all living beings and live a life without worries.
On the one hand, she felt guilty. Facing the benefactor who saved her from the Ghost King and the Demon Lord who had never hurt her, she simply couldn't bring herself to hurt him.
A black and a white little man were fighting fiercely in my mind, each of them insisted on his own opinion and neither would give in.
After a long inner struggle, she finally closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings...
-
"Has the Demon Lord been attracted?"
She slowly walked down the stairs and out of the Demon Palace.
The moon is dark and windy, the wind is cold and gusty, and the shadows are everywhere...
The Ghost Master had been waiting at the temple gate for a long time. When he saw her come out, he hurried forward and replied, "He has been lured in. He is at the southern border, and the Ghost General is fighting him."
