She would never grant Yun Qi's wish.
After Li Muge emerged from seclusion, the first thing he did was to visit Cang Lan, which surprised him.
Azure is now more popular and has a better reputation in Extreme Evil City than she does in terms of personal relationships.
During Li Muge's five hundred years of seclusion, Cang Lan handled the affairs of the Spirit Clan while also taking care of the City of Extreme Evil.
He also led the people of the Evil City to resist countless invasions by foreign enemies.
The land of the Demon Realm is extremely vast.
Other branches of the demon race wanted to take advantage of Li Muge's serious injury to plunder the current Evil City.
However, they did not expect that Li Muge, this concubine, was no pushover either.
Over the past five hundred years, they have launched countless attacks, all of which have been in vain, and they have even lost more than they gained.
The casualties were heavy.
As soon as Li Muge appeared in the City of Extreme Evil, the people of the City of Extreme Evil respectfully kowtowed to him.
All they said was how good Azure was.
Even Niu Zhan, who is straightforward and lacks social skills, was implying in his words that Li Muge should treat Cang Lan well.
Li Muge was speechless.
Yes, Azure saved her.
But they had long since ended their marriage. When she returned to the Demon Realm and went to the Spirit Clan to find Cang Lan, she gave him the letter from her husband!
Li Muge arrived at the palace where Canglan lived.
Surprisingly, they discovered that the plaque above the palace where Canglan lived read "Sige Palace".
Li Muge frowned, somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Cang Lan was trying to use his charm on her again?
And then if she takes the bait.
Azure will find another way to kill her.
Li Muge swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably nervous. She turned to leave.
At that moment, Cang Lan opened the palace door and walked out, his pale blue hair gleaming mesmerizingly in the moonlight.
"Guardian, you've come out of seclusion, won't you even come to see me?"
Seeing that she had been caught red-handed, Li Muge turned around with a forced smile: "Hey, Canglan, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Dharma Protector."
Tears welled in her azure and sapphire pupils, falling to the ground and turning into blue gemstones.
His lips were still slightly pale.
His vulnerability made it seem as if his tears were a sin.
Li Muge's hair was tied up with a red ribbon, and she was still wearing a red dress embroidered with soaring phoenixes in gold thread.
"Don't cry, Azure, I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?" Li Muge felt a sudden sense of loss when she thought of her wings.
Not to mention the proud Phoenix race, even among birds, those without wings are ridiculed.
Thinking of this, her hatred for Yun Qi intensified.
"Guardian." Cang Lan stepped forward to hug Li Muge, but Li Muge dodged to the side.
Li Muge held his sword directly against Canglan's neck.
Azure smiled bitterly: "Guardian, do you really hate me that much?"
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Tell me, Azure, what is your purpose in suddenly running to the Demon Palace to save me?"
"Now you're trying to win over the hearts of my subjects, Azure. What do you intend to do with me now?"
Li Muge forced a cold expression on her face.
The more fascinating something is, the more likely it is to contain a deadly poison; she had already tasted it before her ordeal.
It's impossible to fall into the same pit twice after surviving a tribulation.
Azure gave a wry smile: "Guardian, don't you believe me?"
Li Muge countered, "What makes you worthy of my trust?"
"Alright." Canglan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. "Guardian, Canglan has dedicated her entire life to planning for our people."
"My only true love has always been that of my sister who was imprisoned with me in the Demon Realm and was also a slave."
“I can guarantee what happened before. If I had known back then, I would still have killed you for the sake of my people. But after you die, I will immediately be buried with you.”
"I love you, but it's too late, even you, my protector, are no longer able to help me."
"Very well, to die at the hands of the protector, I can die without regrets." Cang Lan spun around, intending to slit his throat with Li Muge's sword.
Li Muge quickly sheathed his sword, his expression somewhat unnatural: "Canglan, you don't need to do this."
"Your likes or dislikes are not important to this Dharma Protector."
After Li Muge finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left Sige Palace without looking back at Canglan even once.
There was a bloody gash on Cang Lan's neck, and blood was flowing continuously. Fortunately, Li Muge sheathed his sword quickly, otherwise Cang Lan would probably be a corpse by now.
"It's okay, Mu Ge, I'll wait for you, until you turn around and see me."
Cang Lan shouted loudly at Li Muge's departing figure.
Li Muge stopped in her tracks, feeling troubled, but still walked away.
In her world, the need for things takes precedence over emotions.
For example…
revenge.
Yun Qi received news of Li Muge's emergence from seclusion earlier, and his intuition told him that Li Muge would definitely not let the matter rest.
However, Yun Qi was somewhat looking forward to seeing Li Muge again, despite Li Muge's revenge.
"Demon Lord, it's getting late. Don't strain yourself too much reviewing the memorials." Gong Yujia was dressed in luxurious clothes.
She wore her hair in the meteor bun that's been popular in the Demon Realm for the past few years, and held a bowl of chicken soup that she had specially prepared for Yun Qi.
Yun Qi glanced at the chicken soup, then turned his attention back to the memorial: "I'm not hungry, you can take it back and drink it yourself."
Upon seeing this, Gong Yujia bit her lip and said, "Demon Lord, this took me several hours to prepare."
"I remember when we were in the human world, even though you and I were just ordinary people, I don't know why, but I always felt much more at ease in the human world than in the demon realm."
