Li Muge stared intently at the Heart-Protecting Scale in his hand.
Thinking of how Yun Qi had deceived her, she tightened her grip, preparing to crush the protective dragon scales that belonged to Yun Qi into dust.
After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't bear it and put away the protective dragon scale that belonged to Yun Qi.
When Ping An was born, she was born with congenital defects, and even after several months, she still hadn't opened her eyes.
Li Muge leaned against the windowsill: "Little Peony, what do you think we should do now? I always thought I was smarter than you, but now I realize that we sisters are actually quite similar. We've both been tricked by men."
The small peony in the pot bent down and used its flower buds to wipe away Li Muge's tears.
Li Muge laughed and sniffed: "Don't worry, this protector won't cry. Yun Qi is heartless to me, but this protector won't hang himself on a crooked tree forever."
"So Little Peony, you should get well soon and stay by my side. Together, we'll make those heartless men die."
"Reporting to the Protector," Rain Consort from the Demon Palace requested an audience.
When Li Muge heard the words "Yu Fei," his eyes turned cold.
Gong Yujia can now be considered the most honored woman in the Demon Palace, and her family is thriving under his support.
So many years.
Gong Yujia has waited so long, and finally the day has come when she can hold her head high.
The Demon Lord has regained his memories, so what can he do now!
He wasn't just scheming against Li Muge.
Gong Yujia touched the jade hairpin in her hair. It was a special purple jade from the Western Demon Clan. In the Demon Realm, it should be priceless in all three realms, but the Demon Lord bestowed it upon her alone.
Li Muge was nothing more than a woman who was abandoned after giving birth to her child.
But she, Gong Yujia, was enjoying the Emperor's favor.
Gong Yujia was smug; after all these years, she could finally surpass Li Muge.
She couldn't wait to see Li Muge in such a sorry state.
"Yufei, I heard you have something to discuss with me, Protector?"
It seems that Gong Yujia is truly going to be disappointed. Although Li Muge has given birth, her appearance remains radiant, and her brows still carry a fierce look of disdain for everything.
Gong Yujia straightened her chest slightly; she was still somewhat afraid when she saw Li Muge like this.
But his desire to ridicule Li Muge was far too strong.
Her voice was mocking: "Li Muge, I am here today on the orders of the Demon Lord to make you surrender. The Demon Lord said that as long as the City of Extreme Evil is willing to surrender, he can still consider our past friendship."
"I will not trample your evil city, the protector of the Dharma."
Li Muge smiled, sitting in his high seat, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Gong Yujia, is it you who has a problem with your brain, or is it me who has a problem with my brain? Tell the Demon Lord to come if he dares. Do you think I'm afraid?"
“Guardian, I know you are angry that the Demon Lord abandoned you, but feelings cannot be forced.”
"You have no idea how the Demon Lord favors his concubine at night."
"You'd better not hold a grudge. Maybe right now, only I am willing to say some good things about you in front of the Demon Lord."
Upon hearing Gong Yujia's words, Li Muge immediately swept his sleeve and knocked Gong Yujia down.
Gong Yujia fell to the ground, watching Fang Limuge, who was full of ruthlessness, slowly approach her step by step: "What do you want to do, Limuge? I am the Demon Lord's most beloved concubine."
"Use your brain to think carefully. If you dare to hurt me, the Demon Lord will never let you go and will massacre your Evil City."
“My lady.” Li Muge curled her red lips and suddenly grabbed Gong Yujia’s chin: “Gong Yujia, how dare you speak to this protector like that.”
“It’s time to go to the Hell of Tongue-Pulling.” Li Muge raised his hand, and a dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Li Muge, how could you treat me like this? The Demon Lord will not let you get away with this." Gong Yujia wanted to resist, but for some reason, she couldn't move at all.
"Are you crazy?" Gong Yujia asked in disbelief, but before she could finish speaking, Li Muge hooked out her tongue and cut it off.
Fresh blood gushed wildly from Gong Yujia's mouth.
Li Muge calmly wiped the dagger and placed Gong Yujia's severed tongue into a tray; this was a gift she intended to give to the Demon Lord.
"Gong Yujia, I've told you before, don't mess with this protector! Look at you, you still insist on doing it!"
"You're the one who's brainless. No matter what happens to you, Yun Qi won't let this protector off the hook."
"However, this protector is truly reluctant to see such a clown like you die." Li Muge turned around, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
“Send this woman, along with her severed tongue and my divorce papers, back to the Demon Palace.”
“From today onwards, I, the Dharma Protector, have no relation to Yun Qi whatsoever.”
"Yes, ma'am." Snake Maiden ordered the guards to drag Gong Yujia out.
Li Muge returned to the main hall and picked up Ping An, who was crying incessantly in the wet nurse's arms.
Looking at the child's tightly closed eyes, she sighed.
This child can't stay like this forever. Li Muge fell into deep thought. The only way to make up for the child's congenital deficiency was to find a solution.
The goal is to go to the Forest of Candlelight to find the source of candlelight that can replenish Ping An's innate abilities.
However, the Forest of Candlelight is fraught with danger.
All the men she sent out returned empty-handed.
Just when Li Muge was in a state of utter distress, Su Xun arrived. After Li Muge's body, which had undergone tribulation in the mortal realm, died, he regained his memories.
"Third Brother."
Li Muge subconsciously smoothed her hair, wanting to tell Su Xun that she was doing well.
But Su Xun could always see through her disguise with ease. A smile appeared on his alluring face as he opened his palm.
Li Muge was immediately surprised.
"This is not the source of the candlelight in the Forest of Candlelight."
"Third Brother, how did you get it?"
Su Xun smiled indulgently: "Li Muge, you're underestimating your third brother with those words. He's just a mere source of candlelight."
"For your third brother, it's a piece of cake. Take it to the child. No matter what, the child is innocent. She was born from you."
After Su Xun finished speaking, Li Muge immediately cast a spell to trap Su Xun.
"Mu Ge, what are you doing?" Su Xun asked, puzzled.
However, he then revealed his true form under Li Muge's magic.
Li Muge's eyes instantly welled up with tears; she even thought she was seeing something fake.
Her voice trembled, and she even took out a magnifying glass to observe.
"Third brother, where are all those colorful and beautiful feathers on your body? They've all disappeared and turned into these dull gray feathers now."
Su Xun broke free from Li Muge's magic.
"Oh, what's the big deal? Your third brother just thought the original feather color wasn't nice, so he changed it."
"You're lying, Su Xun, you're lying."
"You usually cherish your feathers the most, how could you not like them?" Li Muge smashed the magnifying glass in his hand on the ground: "Is it because of the Source of Candlelight? Did you become like this in order to get the Source of Candlelight back for me?"
