Now everyone in the Demon Palace knew that the Protector had really angered the Demon Lord.
After all, the Demon Lord's stinginess is a well-known fact throughout the Three Realms.
Yun Qi clenched his fist and flew towards Li Muge, throwing a punch. Li Muge lay lazily on the fire phoenix, easily dodging the punch without any panic.
I even took the time to drink some alcohol.
This was like adding fuel to the fire for Yun Qi.
"Li Muge, you're courting death! Why can't you come at me directly? The national treasury is innocent; how could you harm it?"
Yun Qi clutched his chest, feeling the heartache. Sure enough, this damned woman knew exactly how to hit his sore spots.
Li Muge's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked a little drunk: "Demon Lord, you really don't submit to me. Your heart still belongs to me."
"You've made me so stingy. You know, there's a kind of pain in the world when a person dies without having spent any money. How painful is that?"
Li Mu took the wine jug and took another sip. The Snake Maiden's winemaking technique was getting better and better; the wine tasted good and had a low alcohol content.
Yun Qi sneered, "Is that so? There's another kind of pain in the world: being alive but having no money."
"Don't you think that, in my current state, although I am still alive, all the money I have painstakingly and diligently saved over the years is gone?"
"What, Dharma Protector, are you not going to make compensation?"
Li Muge almost choked on his wine because of Yun Qi's reasoning: "Then Yun Qi, you deserve it. If you hadn't insisted on marrying Gong Yujia, this wouldn't have happened."
Yun Qi cast a spell and stood side by side with Li Muge in the sky: "Besides, Li Muge himself thinks you're too shameless. Don't you know that forced relationships are never sweet?"
"The person in my heart is not you. No matter how hard you try to attract my attention, I will never be interested in you."
"Li Muge, your devotion is destined to be betrayed by me."
Yun Qi said expressionlessly, as if he were very noble and that Li Muge was not worthy.
This left Li Muge speechless; she found it both funny and absurd.
She clearly didn't know which dog fell in love with her first during her tribulation, and was willing to die for her.
Li Muge looked earnestly into Yun Qi's eyes: "Demon Lord, it seems your mind is indeed not very sharp. I must find someone to cure you."
Before Yun Qi could even react, a large net covered in spells enveloped him.
"Li Muge, release me!" Yun Qi concentrated his cultivation in his palm, but he couldn't break free no matter what he did.
"Sigh!" Li Muge lay leisurely on the back of the fire phoenix, holding the rope binding Yun Qi in her hand: "To be honest, if I were you, Demon Lord, I would definitely lie flat."
"This is a binding net specially made for you from the spiritual energy of the South China Sea, obtained by your subject. It can be used by both immortals and demons. No matter how much you struggle, you don't want to be dressed in a fishing net in front of all the demons, do you?"
"You, Li Muge, even if you kidnap me, I will never like you." Yun Qi stopped struggling and just sat in the fishing net with a look of utter despair.
Li Muge: "..."
How could she possibly prove that it was Yun Qi, that clueless guy, who fell in love with her first and pursued her first?
How could Gong Yujia tolerate Li Muge taking her groom away so brazenly?
She gripped her sword and leaped after him, but Li Muge merely raised a hand, and his resentment bound her high in the air, rendering her unable to move.
Li Muge lay on the back of the fire phoenix, propping his head up comfortably: "Gong Yujia has something to say that I, the protector, must return to you: there are some things or people that do not belong to you, and they will never belong to you."
"If you want it, you can only suffer the consequences and lose everything."
"No, Li Muge, the Demon Lord and I are truly in love." Gong Yujia struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of resentment.
The day of the wedding.
The groom being kidnapped is a disgrace to any woman.
How could Li Muge treat her like this?
"You dare to claim true love? You steal someone else's memories, Gong Yujia, and you still feel at ease?" Li Muge was so angry she laughed.
Li Muge sat up, took another sip of wine, and looked at Gong Yujia, feeling as if the world was in a daze.
She still remembers the first time she met Gong Yujia. Gong Yujia held a sword in one hand, looking heroic and clear-eyed, unlike other demon women who were repulsive.
But now, her eyes have lost their clarity, leaving only a deep and calculating look.
Even though she's wearing a wedding dress, can Gong Yujia truly enjoy a stable and secure love that's been stolen?
Li Muge sighed, "Gong Yujia, even though this protector and Yun Qi had a romantic encounter during our tribulations..."
"But I still want to advise you, no matter when or where you are, don't lose yourself for a man."
But Gong Yujia wouldn't listen to any advice. Her eyes were filled with tears: "Demon Lord, don't listen to Li Muge's nonsense. We've been through so much in the mortal realm."
"We finally achieved our goal, but Li Muge is here to cause trouble again."
Yun Qi sat inside the fishing net. Upon hearing Gong Yujia's words, he pursed his lips, concentrated his cultivation, and formed a hand seal, preparing to start the fight.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Gong Yujia's words, Li Muge chuckled and casually tossed the wine pot, accurately hitting Yun Qi on the forehead.
Then Yun Qi, who was about to enlarge, was knocked unconscious and lay in a fishing net, where Li Muge took him back in a grand procession.
"No, Demon Lord, Li Muge, you cannot separate me from you! Demon Lord, wake up!"
Gong Yujia, tears streaming down her face, screamed from behind with heartbreaking cries.
But all they could see was the fire phoenix and the demon lord hanging below flying further and further away.
Li Muge brought Yun Qi back to the City of Extreme Evil, immediately tied him up, and found a physician to examine his brain.
Let's see what kind of evil magic Gong Yujia used.
"Li Muge, I'll count to three, you'd better let go..." Before Yun Qi could finish speaking, Li Muge grabbed his head and shook it violently.
"What are you doing, Li Muge? Are you out of your mind? I've said it before, no matter how much you do for me, I will never like you."
"Nonsense, who likes you, Demon Lord? I just wanted to see if I could get the water out of your brain."
Li Muge pulled up a stool and sat calmly next to Yun Qi: "So, Demon Lord, today I would like to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal? You don't mean you're lusting after my body, do you? Impossible, I will never like you."
Li Muge pressed his hand down and punched Yun Qi, making one of Yun Qi's eyes turn black like a panda's.
She felt much better and her tone softened considerably: "Demon Lord, I want to team up with you to do something big."
"I've heard that the Boundless Sea in the Immortal Realm holds countless treasures left behind by the ancient races. And coincidentally, this treasure map is in my possession."
"So, if it's true, how about we split it 30/70?"
"According to reliable sources, the treasures in the Boundless Sea far surpass those in your national treasury."
