“Um… Lord Demon Lord.”
"Um?"
"Those are my sunflower seeds."
I just peeled them. You have no idea how much effort I put in; my fingers hurt from peeling them!
Li Mingke gritted his teeth, like an angry little lion, ready to bite Demon Lord Luan Hua to death with a single bite.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Demon Lord Luan Hua, she was nothing more than a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Oh, I didn't see it clearly."
No! I can't see it clearly!
Li Mingke cursed him in her heart:
What's the point of having such big eyes? If your eyes are damaged, is your brain damaged too? Don't you know whose food is on whose table? Even a three-year-old knows that, right? Demon Lord, you've lived so long, are you getting more and more backward? Could it be Alzheimer's?
"You insulted me?" Demon Lord Luan Hua raised an eyebrow.
Li Mingke, who had been trying to maintain a smile on the surface but was cursing wildly inside, suddenly changed his expression.
Can he read minds?
"I don't need to read minds. I can tell what's going on in your little head at a glance, even if you're just a kid."
"How could that be? Heh." Li Mingke was grinding his teeth to powder.
Just consider it all gone into the dog's belly!
Li Mingke simply turned her head away and ignored him.
Demon Lord Luan Hua simply smiled.
Actually, he also found it quite boring.
Back then, the Fifth Princess Wu Xidi confidently claimed that she had found Lin Banjian, and the two reached an agreement. Although he soon discovered that the person following him was an imposter, he still agreed to help the Fifth Princess, since he had nothing else to do.
Aside from finding solace in Banjian, which brought him hope, the rest of his life was empty.
He could see Li Mingke's angry little head, which was turned away from him, by just a slight turn of his head.
He didn't know why, but every time he saw Li Mingke, his heart, which was like a stagnant pool, would become lively, making him unable to resist teasing her and wanting her to react to him.
I have been so moved by you, why are you still unmoved?
His heart was filled with an inexplicable longing.
A fire burned in his heart, needing the sweet spring called "Half-Seeing" to extinguish it, but he discovered that the wind called "Mingke" could also bring a touch of coolness, blowing away his restlessness.
He couldn't help but look at her and try to get closer to her.
"I didn't expect Jinyun to not come, but you were sent instead," he said to the man's retreating figure.
"None of your business?" Li Mingke replied irritably.
"Is there no one left in the immortal sects?"
"What's it to you?"
"Oh, it's none of my business, but don't you feel your neck getting sore from talking like that?"
"you……"
Actually, Li Mingke's neck was very sore.
"Hmph!" She twisted her neck, then sat up straight, but didn't look at him.
"Has Jinyun treated you badly?" he asked. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you come."
In the eyes of Demon Lord Luan Hua, participating in royal power struggles was not a good thing.
"It's wonderful, absolutely wonderful, truly wonderful! My master is the best to me in the world!" Li Mingke said, his voice growing louder and louder.
Demon Lord Luan Hua was initially unaffected, but upon hearing that Immortal Lord Jinyun had been kind to her, she felt uncomfortable.
"How good is he to you?" He really wanted to know.
"You insist on knowing? Fine! I'll tell you then! Listen carefully!"
First of all, my master is good-looking, a hundred times better-looking than you!
Secondly, he is very gentle, unlike you, who has a bad temper!
Finally, he was good to me; he was willing to give me the best things in the world! Delicious food, fun toys, useful gadgets! He gave me whatever I wanted!
In short, my master is the best person in the world!
You can't compare to him; the two of you are worlds apart! He is the bright moon in the sky, while you are the black, stinking mud in a puddle!
Li Mingke rattled off everything he could think of in one breath, then took a big gulp of water.
She looked at Demon Lord Luan Hua triumphantly.
"Enough!!!"
Demon Lord Luan Hua swept the wine cup in front of him away. The bronze wine cup fell to the ground with a heavy thud, rolled a few times, and stopped at Li Mingke's feet.
Demon Lord Luan Hua leaned on the table, panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot and frightening.
Just moments ago, Li Mingke was smug and self-satisfied, but in an instant, his mind went completely blank with fear.
The Demon Lord... has gone mad...
She's going to die!
Li Mingke's first reaction was that the Demon Lord wanted to kill her.
He stared at her with the eyes of a hawk eyeing its prey, as if he were about to tear her apart at any moment.
She wanted to run, but her legs felt like lead, her body wouldn't obey her commands, she was stiff all over, and her face was pale.
Through bone conduction, she could hear her teeth chattering.
The entire room fell silent, as quiet as a morgue.
This situation lasted for about half a minute.
Finally, it was the Fifth Princess who shattered this terrifying situation.
"Demon Lord... are you not satisfied with Didi's suggestion just now?" she asked with a smile, but her hands under her sleeves were actually trembling uncontrollably.
Although she and the Demon Lord are partners, they are not equal. She is the weaker party. If the Demon Lord does not support her, he doesn't even need to say a word. If he is dissatisfied with her, killing her is just a matter of a moment!
She has to calm people down!
The Demon Lord seemed to have recovered, ignoring the new wine cup brought by the Fifth Princess, and sat down again.
"It's alright, you can continue."
Starting with the Fifth Princess, voices gradually filled the room, but everyone seemed to be holding back, afraid of saying something that might displease the Demon Lord.
Li Mingke also recovered. She moved her ankle and bumped into a wine glass that had rolled to her feet. She quickly pulled her foot back.
She sat hunched over in the chair, head bowed.
The fear from just now hadn't dissipated, and like a dark cloud hanging over her head, her eyes gradually reddened.
She sniffed.
"Excuse me, I'm going out for a bit," she said softly as she passed the Fourth Prince.
"Oh. Ah? By yourself? Should I send someone to follow you..." But before he could finish speaking, Li Mingke had already run out.
Li Mingke ran all the way to the courtyard and finally burst into tears.
This was the first time in Li Mingke's more than ten years of life that she had faced such a powerful force. In less than a second, that person could have killed her.
She knew the Demon Lord was powerful, but she didn't expect him to be this powerful. The sheer pressure he exuded when he was angry was enough to suffocate her.
She gained a new understanding of power.
As she wiped away her tears, she thought to herself, "If only I could cultivate, whether it's cultivating immortality or demonic power, as long as I have that kind of strength, it doesn't matter."
As long as she is powerful, no one will dare to underestimate her; as long as she is powerful, everyone will bow down to her; as long as she is powerful, she can stir up the world.
Isn't that exactly what Demon Lord Luan Hua is doing now?
Demons, immortals, and mortals—who in the three realms dares to act presumptuously before him? Didn't she just witness it? A single word from him can make the world tremble!
The Demon Lord quickly realized that he had lost his composure. He didn't know why his emotions could be so easily provoked, but when he saw the disbelief and fear on Li Mingke's face as he looked at him, he felt inexplicably flustered.
He thought he should go and apologize, and say that he didn't mean it.
So he left his seat.
Then they saw Li Mingke and the Fourth Prince embracing each other in the courtyard.
