Chapter 1
"May Buddha protect me, please don't let me die suddenly!"
Mo Xiaoxin had been working overtime for three consecutive days, and she felt extremely tired with her heart pounding. Her phone, like a tapeworm, kept popping up news reports of people dying suddenly from overwork. Seeing that her symptoms were similar, she knew something was wrong and rushed to a temple to burn incense and pray.
It is said that the incense at Baoguo Temple is the most efficacious.
Mo Xiaoxin looked up at the kind-faced Buddha and prayed sincerely.
Mo Xiaoxin was very timid. She was most afraid of dying. In this life, she only wanted one way to die: a natural death, without any pain.
The pain in her heart seemed to have lessened considerably; indeed, Buddha had heard her heart's desire.
With a "thump," people around turned to look and saw a young woman lying flat on the ground.
When Mo Xiaoxin woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment, on the roof in a strange half-squatting position.
She blinked her eyes.
How come it was already dark when I woke up?
Mo Xiaoxin's mind hadn't quite processed what was happening. She remembered that she was at Baoguo Temple, so how did she end up in this quaint courtyard?
She was dressed in a tight black outfit, looking like a thief.
Just as he was wondering, a charming voice of a young woman came from the room below: "Demon Lord, come, have a grape."
Someone had moved a gap in the rubble underfoot, and through the gap, one could see the scene inside the room.
This is a study, with candlelight flickering inside.
There was a man and a woman. The man was dressed in a black cloak, with handsome features, long and narrow phoenix eyes that were captivating, and an aura of evil charm emanating from him. The woman was dressed in exotic attire, with superior looks, a slender waist and long legs, and perfect proportions.
The man embraced the woman in an intimate manner, and the woman's exposed shoulders were extremely alluring.
The man smiled and ate the grape. He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Oh dear, how did she accidentally stumble into such a suggestive scene? One should not look at what is improper.
A system voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
[Congratulations on triggering the Grand Gift Pack Mode: Experience being killed by Leng Huai 999 times to return to the real world.]
The next second, the memories of this world surged like a tidal wave, all flooding into Mo Xiaoxin's mind.
She tidied it up as quickly as possible.
This is a turbulent world of demons, divided into the Southern Demon Realm and the Northern Demon Realm, with both sides being evenly matched in strength.
The original owner's name was Mo Qiuxin. She was the youngest daughter of the Southern Demon King and had two older brothers. Her parents and brothers doted on her, which led to her becoming spoiled and arrogant from a young age.
The original owner saw Leng Huai, the Demon Lord, at a Six Realms Assembly and fell hopelessly in love with him. She even secretly came to the Demon Realm to confess her feelings to Leng Huai and willingly became a hostage. As a result, she died unexpectedly, and then Mo Xiaoxin transmigrated into her body.
The man in the room was none other than the infamous Demon Lord, whose appearance was indeed stunning; no wonder the original owner of this body fell in love with him.
Mo Xiaoxin asked the system, "Was I dead in the previous world?"
The system looks like a cute little white ball, its innocent appearance is endearing.
It spun around and said in a childish voice, "Yes, you died suddenly, but as long as you complete the mission, you can return to the real world and continue living."
Mo Xiaoxin cursed and swore, "Heavens! I even went to the temple to pray for blessings, but it was all for nothing!"
God, are you fucking messing with me?! You even have to use this stupid system to mess with me!
The system complained, "Waaah, host, I can hear you cursing me. Didn't you wish to die the most? I'll let you experience what it's like to not be afraid."
Mo Xiaoxin was furious. This damn system was deliberately putting on a pitiful act to gain sympathy, but what it said was utter nonsense in a serious manner!
She won't fall for it!
Mo Xiaoxin: "Stop whining like that. Were you deaf or blind during the second half of my wish?"
The system, which had looked pitiful, now had a sly glint in its eyes, revealing a wicked sense of amusement: "After being killed so many times, you become fearless. Isn't that quite natural?"
He was definitely messing with her!
Seeing its smug look, she gritted her teeth.
Is there anywhere I can file a complaint? She wants to file one!
A noise came from inside the house, drawing Mo Xiaoxin's attention.
Leng Huai leaned over, supporting himself on the chair with his left hand and lifting the woman's chin with his right. He whispered something in her ear, and the woman's body trembled uncontrollably.
What a sensual scene!
Mo Xiaoxin watched with great interest.
"Click".
The sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out. Leng Huai got off the chair without expression. The woman's head was tilted to the side, like a deflated balloon drooping. She opened her eyes wide in terror, lying motionless on the chair, completely lifeless.
Mo Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, then realized that the woman had been brutally murdered.
The affectionate look in Leng Huai's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent that filled the air.
Their flirtatious and ambiguous behavior just now seemed like an act.
Mo Xiaoxin's eyes widened and she gasped.
What was the original owner doing on this roof?
Is he a voyeur?
This demon lord looks like someone you don't want to mess with. How could she have fallen for a man like that? What good is a man with just a pretty face?
Remembering the system notification she had just heard, was this damn system trying to make her be killed by this man 999 times?
Are you crazy? She wouldn't agree!
If not now, when?
She didn't want to experience that near-death feeling again.
But as soon as she took a step, the tiles beneath her feet made a crisp "clatter" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
She froze, her heart skipped a beat and pounded.
A gaze filled with intense killing intent shot down from below.
Oh no, we've been discovered!
The man's cold voice came from his throat: "Anyone who dares to spy on me shall die!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Leng Huai unleashed a massive surge of demonic energy that enveloped Mo Xiaoxin. Before she could even react, she was gone.
pain!
When Mo Xiaoxin opened her eyes, she found herself in a vast white space, with the system's little white ball surrounding her, staring at her with its big eyes.
"You're awake?" the system asked.
Mo Xiaoxin rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Isn't it obvious?"
The system praised, "Congratulations, host, on being killed by Leng Huai for the first time. The system will give you a gift."
Mo Xiaoxin raised an eyebrow. There was another gift?
She didn't believe that this broken system would give her anything good.
A mechanical voice came out.
[System notification: The Lucky Wheel is now open.]
A large, shiny spinning wheel appeared in front of Mo Xiaoxin, with prizes and pictures displayed on it.
The spinning wheel began to spin rapidly, and Mo Xiaoxin couldn't see what prizes were on it; the dazzling array of prizes made her dizzy.
After the spinning wheel spun a few times, it stopped, and only then could she see the prize she had won.
[System notification: Congratulations, host, you have received a cash reward of 100,000 yuan! Keep up the good work! 998 experience attempts remaining.]
Mo Xiaoxin was astonished: 100,000 yuan!
She's a recent college graduate, and her annual salary is less than 100,000 yuan!
You can get so much money just by being killed by that man!
The little white ball looked smug: "How was it? Nice gift, right? Want to try it some more?"
Mo Xiaoxin then looked at the other prizes on the lucky wheel. There were all kinds of prizes, from cash rewards with no limit to various props.
Mo Xiaoxin stroked her chin, beginning to consider whether she should participate in the game.
Just moments before, the tingling pain of death nearly drove her to the brink of collapse as she was killed by the man. Even now, as a soul in this unknown space, the terror of death still lingers.
I don't know what the system's purpose is in letting her experience death. Does it enjoy watching her die again and again?
Giving her so much money makes me feel like she has ulterior motives.
Just as Mo Xiaoxin was hesitating about whether to continue participating in this experiential game, she found herself back above the rooftop in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the familiar darkness, the familiar rooftop.
Mo Xiaoxin was speechless for a moment. She hadn't recovered from the pain of her last death when the system resurrected her again.
She cursed inwardly. Wasn't she supposed to choose whether or not to continue? How could she be forced to experience it without a word?
The system remained silent and did not respond to her.
Damn it, he actually pretended to be dead!
Mo Xiaoxin had no choice but to accept it.
Through the crack, she saw a woman dancing alluringly in the room, her movements captivating and mesmerizing.
However, she had no interest in watching. Mo Xiaoxin rubbed her aching limbs. If that man found out again, she would be killed.
Never mind, she has to get out of here first!
Since the tiles in front are loose, she should be able to walk to the left, right?
But, as luck would have it, she stepped on another broken tile.
Suddenly, the tile beneath his feet slipped and fell, causing him to plummet straight down in front of Leng Huai.
The man's eyes were devoid of any warmth, as if he were looking at a dead body.
Mo Xiaoxin's heart pounded, her face turned pale, and she swallowed hard.
This is definitely an Asura demon!
The woman who was lying in Leng Huai's arms, about to feed him grapes, was startled by this sudden turn of events and her expression froze for a moment before she revealed a charming and alluring smile.
"This must be Miss Mo, the hostage of the Demon Lord." The woman took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, wanting to leave a good impression on the Demon Lord.
The woman's name was Shui Lian, and she was a dancer. She had come to dance for the Demon Lord today, but was kept behind by him. She was overjoyed; to be able to stay and work for the Demon Lord would be the best thing ever.
But what the hell is this damned proton doing, ruining her plans!
Shui Lian glared fiercely at Mo Xiaoxin.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward with two women and one man in the same room.
Mo Xiaoxin sensed the woman's malice; her arrival seemed quite unwelcome.
Not wanting to disturb their ambiguous atmosphere, she gave an awkward smile and said, "Well, I was just passing by. I didn't mean to bother you. Just pretend you didn't see me."
Mo Xiaoxin tried to slip away, but Leng Huai gently lifted his fingertips.
Mo Xiaoxin was frozen in place, her feet pacing back and forth, looking quite comical.
Leng Huai revealed a wicked smile: "What, didn't you come here specifically to see me? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Leng Huai pushed Shui Lian away, and Shui Lian's frail figure fell to the ground. She looked at Leng Huai pitifully.
Leng Huai didn't even glance at her.
Shui Lian bit her lip, feeling resentful. Before Mo Xiaoxin arrived, the Demon Lord's attitude towards her was not like this.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaoxin sighed that the Demon Lord was too rude and didn't know how to be gentle with women. So, as a fellow woman, she could only help each other out.
She stepped forward, wanting to help the woman up: "Sister, are you alright?"
Shui Lian's eyes were fierce. This woman had no sense at all. If it weren't for her appearance, how could the Demon Lord treat her like this? Now she was pretending to be a good person. Was she trying to humiliate her?
She wanted to shake off Mo Xiaoxin's hand, but then realized that the Demon Lord was still around, and she had to leave a good impression, so she put on a pitiful look.
Mo Xiaoxin noticed the disgust in Shui Lian's eyes and realized that Shui Lian was treating her like a green tea b*tch.
Mo Xiaoxin felt sorry for her. This woman probably didn't know how cruel and ruthless Leng Huai was. This Demon Lord would kill people if he was unhappy. One second they were talking about love and the next he would strangle her.
Of all people to fall for, why did she have to fall for such a cold and ruthless man?
Shui Lian suppressed her displeasure and reluctantly placed her right hand on Mo Xiaoxin's hand. Mo Xiaoxin then helped her up.
"Thank you, little sister." Shui Lian put on a well-behaved and sensible appearance, knowing that the Demon Lord did not actually like the woman in front of him.
Leng Huai coldly watched Mo Xiaoxin help Shui Lian up, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. Wasn't this woman a spoiled young lady who looked down on all servants before? Why would she suddenly be so kind as to help a dancer?
Was she deliberately trying to get his attention?
Leng Huai gave a mocking smile and pulled Mo Xiaoxin into his arms.
Mo Xiaoxin felt a wave of dizziness and then fell into a large, warm embrace. The scent of a man filled her nostrils and entered her brain. Her mind went blank, and her face instantly turned bright red.
She, Mo Xiaoxin, has never been with a man before!
Looking at the woman in his arms with her shy expression, Leng Huai's eyes grew even colder.
Sure enough, the woman was making noise on purpose to attract his attention.
Looking at that delicate, small, shy, and flushed face, he felt disgusted.
The daughter of the dignified Southern Demon King is so stupid. She has only a beautiful appearance and dares to trespass into his territory and offer herself up as his hostage. Does she think he will pity her and fall in love with her?
Women are always trapped by their emotions; only the weak do that.
As a powerful demon lord, Leng Huai could never fall in love with any woman, let alone develop feelings for her!
In this world, he only believes in himself!
Leng Huai's mischievous nature made him want to torment her. His favorite thing to do was to make his prey believe that he had developed feelings for her, and then cruelly kill her.
Killing was something he did on a whim, without needing a reason.
