Yun Qi, seemingly lost in thought, smirked wickedly: "Protector, you seem to have forgotten that ever since you castrated the son of the King of Ye City who tried to seduce you..."
"Within the Three Realms, I doubt there's any man who could resist you! To pursue you? Are you kidding me? He must have a death wish."
Enraged, Li Muge grabbed Yun Qi, thinking that the guy was just lucky to have a face that looked like a good person.
In truth, he's utterly black-hearted.
"Demon Lord, your words have deeply hurt me. I did this so that you would remember me."
Li Muge wanted to get closer to Yun Qi, but unexpectedly, she tripped and fell directly onto Yun Qi, and it was a mouth-to-mouth kiss.
Yun Qi's pupils contracted.
Li Muge looked as if she had seen a ghost, her scalp tingling: "Demon Lord, I didn't mean to, I just couldn't control myself." After saying that, she habitually wiped her mouth.
Yun Qi's eyes flickered: "Oh, I see!"
“But Li Muge, even if you love me, I would rather die than give you the position of Demon Lord.”
This is a tactic of reverse psychology.
If Li Muge had not been reborn.
He'll definitely slice Yun Qi's head off with one stroke.
But now!
She couldn't have asked for this more.
“Of course.” Li Muge’s eyes sparkled, then she rubbed her stomach and said, “Demon Lord, I’m hungry, I’ll go back now.”
Li Muge finished dressing and prepared to leave without looking back. Yun Qi panicked; his plan was unlikely to go wrong.
But…
“Li Muge…” Yun Qi broke free from Li Muge’s magical restriction, stood up abruptly, cast a spell to reveal his aura, and walked step by step toward Li Muge.
"Are you really not willing to take the position of Demon Lord?"
In the dark sky of the Demon Realm, lightning condensed above the main hall.
Li Muge's hundreds of thousands of troops guarding outside the Demon Palace also drew their swords with a whoosh, waiting for a command.
Li Muge slightly twisted her left hand, the hatred of being imprisoned for ten thousand years making her want to devour Yun Qi alive.
But then she thought, Yun Qi's move was just meant to provoke her.
She paused slightly, her hands forming a hand seal: "Yun Qi, if you do not wish for the position of Demon Lord, you may choose another worthy person. My ambition does not lie in the position of Demon Lord."
"oh."
Yun Qi's gentle face turned sinister for a moment: "Li Muge, what do you mean by that? You are clearly plotting to usurp the throne."
Li Muge knelt down before Yun Qi with a "plop": "Demon Lord, everyone says that you should not doubt my loyalty to you. My heart is as clear as the sun and moon."
Several ministers from the Demon Realm rushed over, determined to protect Yun Qi's position as Demon Lord. Even disregarding the fact that Li Muge was merely a woman, the current Demon Lord, though lacking in ability, was still a formidable opponent.
But their character is extremely kind, and such people are the easiest to manipulate.
If Li Muge were to ascend to the position of Demon Lord, and a reckoning were to follow, they would have no good days ahead of them.
Especially the leader, the King of Yecheng.
His face was dark, and he wished he could tear Li Muge to pieces.
"Li Muge, you have treacherous ambitions, don't even think about harming me..." The ministers originally thought that when they entered, they would see Yun Qi fighting with Li Muge.
To everyone's surprise, Li Muge actually knelt down before Yun Qi and even pledged his loyalty.
"What... what is Protector Li doing?" The senior ministers looked at each other, completely baffled as to what Li Muge was up to.
Throughout the Three Realms, everyone knows that Li Muge and the Demon Lord are at odds.
Why are they still kneeling on the ground to pledge their loyalty?
"Get up, Li Muge." Yun Qi's eyes were gloomy: "Leading troops to surround the Demon Palace without orders is a capital offense."
Li Muge squeezed out tears: "Demon Lord, if my affection for you is a sin, then I am already unforgivable."
"What? Li Muge, you like the Demon Lord."
The King of Yecheng was almost speechless with shock. Several ministers exchanged glances, all secretly giving Yun Qi a meaningful look.
The general meaning is as follows.
Demon Lord, for the sake of the Demon Realm and your own safety, you should temporarily submit to Li Muge.
Feeling wronged, feeling wronged, I'll use my good looks to my advantage.
Yun Qi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "Li Muge, I'll ask you one more time, are you really not going to rebel?"
Li Muge stood up: "No, Demon Lord, please don't falsely accuse me. Everyone knows that I have always been loyal to you. Only someone as upright and virtuous as you is worthy of a position like Demon Lord."
Yun Qi's hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly clenched tightly. He was about to speak when several ministers respectfully helped Li Muge up.
The leader was King Qincheng, a senior figure. Since the previous Demon Lord passed the position to Yun Qi, he felt that Yun Qi was kind and not suitable to be the Demon Lord.
Yet he remained utterly loyal to Yun Qi.
Li Muge used to think that this old guy was a loyal follower, and the first thing he would do after becoming the Demon Lord was to kill this old guy.
Looking back now, that old man—bah, King Qincheng—was incredibly kind to her by remonstrating to the death back then.
King Qincheng stroked his white beard, tears welling in his eyes: "Guardian, it's rare indeed, you've finally seen the error of your ways."
Li Muge's lips twitched, and she told herself to endure it.
"Yes, King Qincheng, at least some of my past actions may have caused you to misunderstand."
"Everything I have done..." Li Muge said, glancing at Yun Qi with a shy and timid girlish air.
Several ministers showed expressions of experience.
Only Yun Qi's expression remained unpredictable.
This chilled Li Muge's heart.
____
Several ministers respectfully escorted Li Muge out.
Niu Zhan's eyes lit up. He originally thought that these old guys would definitely not support the protector, but he did not expect that the protector was so powerful that he actually won the support of these ministers.
"Welcome, Demon Lord..." Niu Zhan knelt on the ground, but before he could utter the words "Welcome, Demon Lord," he suddenly found himself unable to speak.
After Li Muge finished casting the spell, he breathed a sigh of relief and then cleared his throat a few times: "Everyone, thank you very much for coming here with me, my protector."
"Now that the Demon Lord is safe and sound, I am very relieved. Everyone can rest assured."
"What, this..."
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers were startled. Just as they were about to speak, they looked up and met Li Muge's cold phoenix eyes.
He immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Only Niu Zhan stared at Li Muge in disbelief, desperately trying to speak.
Li Muge turned to Xiao Shaoyao and instructed, "This protector, General Niu is feeling slightly unwell. Send him back."
"Yes, protector." Little Peony stepped forward, grabbed Niu Zhan's horns, and pulled him away.
Li Muge prepared to return to his own Evil City.
Although it's a godforsaken place, it's still better than falling out with Yun Qi and being sealed in an abyss of endless despair.
But just as she was about to leave, the palace servants from the Demon Palace suddenly came looking for her.
Yun Qi, that scoundrel, claimed that he couldn't betray her feelings, and actually took her into the Demon Palace as a concubine.
