"The Prince of Anyang's words are rather excessive." Yun Qi's voice carried a hint of anger.
This only made King Anyang even more smug: "Facts are facts. Yun Qi, you should consciously return the position of Demon Lord. People from the Immortal Realm are not worthy of being the leaders of our Demon Realm."
"Prince Anyang, don't push your luck!" Jingfeng drew his sword.
"Demon Lord," Jingfeng retorted, unconvinced.
"You mustn't be disrespectful to Prince Anyang." Yun Qi said, hands behind his back, "Since both princes say I'm unqualified to be the Demon Lord, then I won't..."
"Who dares to say you can't be the Demon Lord?" Li Muge, dressed in red, with bright eyes and a voice that conveyed arrogance and was not to be underestimated.
Li Muge walked up to Yun Qi, his sharp eyes sweeping over the assembled officials from the Demon Realm.
He was holding a bone whip.
"I, the protector, stand here and see which of you dares to say that my husband is not qualified to be the Demon Lord."
"this…"
The three or four officials standing in the back row looked at each other, but none of them dared to say anything.
In the Demon Realm, anyone who dares to oppose the Dharma Protector is courting death.
They were dissatisfied with the fact that the current Demon Lord was the Heavenly Emperor's illegitimate son, but all of this was insignificant to their lives.
King Qincheng was the first to stand up: "Guardian, you cannot show favoritism. If the Heavenly Emperor's son becomes the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, then our Demon Realm will become a laughing stock of the world."
Li Muge snorted coldly: "Old man, were you out of your mind last night, or did you have a brain short circuit? The Demon Realm values strength above all else, what business is it of yours whatsoever with other people's backgrounds?"
"Furthermore, according to your logic, people from the Immortal Realm cannot serve as officials in the Demon Realm. So, I was once a person from the Immortal Realm. What, have you all grown so bold as to have opinions about me?"
When Yun Qi heard Li Muge mention his background, he looked up at her in surprise. He clearly did not expect that Li Muge would reveal his own background in order to protect him.
"No, no, Protector, how could we dare?" The other officials bowed and stepped aside.
King Qincheng was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger: "Guardian, how can these two be confused? You were expelled from the Immortal Realm, while Yun Qi is the Heavenly Emperor's illegitimate son."
Li Muge clenched his fist and lashed the King of Qincheng with his whip.
"Old man, I'll repeat myself again: Yun Qi is my husband. If you try to hurt him, you're doing the same thing as hurting me."
"And are all of you brains filled with dung? The Heavenly Emperor married Xiao Xue through proper channels back then, and their child is the eldest legitimate son. What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Demon Lord, this is bad, it seems we can't step down from this position." Jingfeng whispered, Li Muge's actions were completely different from what they expected!
They were clearly at loggerheads before.
Why are they protecting the Demon Lord so much now?
King Anyang had not expected that Li Muge would come to the Demon Lord's rescue, especially since the Demon Lord had recently led troops to attack the City of Extreme Evil.
This is not something a normal couple would do.
Li Muge might even be quite happy to see the Demon Lord step down.
Li Muge lost her patience. She rubbed her temples, her head aching. "I'll give you one more chance. Get out of here now, and I'll spare your lives."
King Anyang was still unwilling to give up: "Guardian Muge, what are you saying? Does this mean the Demon Realm has really become your personal fiefdom?"
"What, you have a problem with that?" Li Muge's eyes were stubborn, and his smile gradually disappeared: "If you don't want the Demon Realm to become a one-man show, then you'd better work harder and step over my dead body."
"Or perhaps I will step over your dead body."
This statement has been made.
The Demon Palace fell silent instantly.
"Guardian, even if you gave me a few times the courage, I wouldn't dare!" King Anyang knelt on the ground.
If it had been the Demon Lord who spoke, he might not have been as panicked as before, but it was Li Muge who spoke.
She's a notorious living Yama in the demon realm; how many people who offend her will have a good ending?
Yun Qi had no heart, but he didn't know that looking at Li Muge protecting him, he suddenly felt a warmth.
The officials were not united in their hatred of the enemy at this moment. The Prince of Qincheng still refused to leave, and the Prince of Anyang even had her dragged away.
He always knows how to assess the situation and act accordingly.
Although he started the fire himself, he knew in his heart that provoking Li Muge was the worst possible course of action.
At the same time, he felt a greater sense of contempt for the Demon Lord, who was so weak that he needed women to protect him at every turn.
After everyone left.
Li Muge was about to leave when Yun Qi suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into the Demon Palace.
"Hey, Demon Lord, what are you doing?"
Yun Qi led her all the way to the council hall.
Li Muge is playing the drums. Has this lunatic completely gone insane?
"You sit here." Yun Qi forcefully pressed Li Muge into the seat reserved exclusively for the Demon Lord.
"Why? This seat shouldn't be yours, Demon Lord. How can I sit here?" Li Muge's lips twitched.
Damn it.
She's already helped Yun Qi so much.
Why can't this lunatic find another innocent victim to screw over?
"Li Muge, why can't you sit in this seat?" Yun Qi's words carried a hint of helplessness.
"Demon Lord, what do you take me for? Yun Qi, you're a complete ingrate." Li Muge shoved Yun Qi away.
Enraged, she summoned the Phoenix Cry Sword, her eyes filled with hatred and madness: "Fine, Yun Qi, since neither of us wants this position."
"Alright, then let's not sit down."
Li Muge directly cleaved the chair that only the Demon Lord could sit on with a single sword strike, which was tantamount to treason in the Demon Realm.
Yun Qi's face darkened: "Li Muge."
"Pah, pretty boy, let me tell you this word by word today: no matter what, even if you die and your bones turn to ashes, I, the protector, will never become the Demon Lord."
After Li Muge finished speaking, he cast a spell and transformed into a red light, then left.
Yun Qi was left standing there, gloomy.
He restored the dragon throne to its original state before everyone entered.
"I'm so angry." Li Muge returned to the City of Extreme Evil and simply buried herself under the covers. "That damned Yun Qi is like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
"Guardian, you're awake. Azure made you some sweet soup, which was specially chilled."
Azure's wounds have healed a lot.
However, Li Muge was still wary of Yun Qi, fearing that if Yun Qi went mad, he would harm Cang Lan again.
"Just leave it there. I'll drink it when I get up." Li Muge buried his head in the blanket.
"Guardian." Cang Lan lowered her eyes. "You don't want to see Cang Lan, do you?"
"No." Li Muge threw back the covers: "This protector is not angry because of you. By the way, have you been happy here these days?"
"If you're unhappy, you can go outside for a walk to clear your head. There aren't that many rules here with me."
Azure's eyes reddened: "Guardian, are you trying to send me away?"
