Yun Qi persisted until Li Muge used a levitation mirror to show him just how many treasures were hidden in the Boundless Sea.
They vanished without a trace.
All right.
He admitted that he was attracted to her.
Yun Qi leaned over the headboard and cleared his throat: "Alright, for the sake of the future development of the Demon Realm, I'll reluctantly agree to a 70/30 split with you."
Li Muge scoffed, and upon noticing Yun Qi's gaze, her smile immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change.
"Of course I know that you, Demon Lord, are devoted to the Demon Realm."
Li Muge admires Yun Qi above all else. Yun Qi always finds a plausible excuse for his scheming and cunning, which makes those old guys in the Demon Realm stick to his side.
Heaven.
After disguising themselves, Li Muge and Yun Qi successfully entered the Heavenly Realm and were about to enter the Boundless Sea.
Unexpectedly, Yun Qi met the person he never wanted to see again in his life here.
His mother, Xiao Xue.
Upon seeing Xiao Xue, dark memories of the past flooded back, and Yun Qi's killing intent surged forth.
Seeing this, Li Muge grabbed Yun Qi's sleeve and pulled him aside to hide him.
With the fall of the Heavenly Empress and the Heavenly Emperor, the Immortal Realm was in turmoil. No one expected that the final victor of this war would be the Heavenly Consort Xiao Xue, whom they had never taken seriously before.
With the Heavenly Emperor's favor, she underwent a marrow cleansing and immortality cultivation, and now possesses half of the cultivation that the Heavenly Emperor once passed down to her.
Xiao Xue understood that she could not control the Immortal Realm on her own, so she chose to find an Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm who was easy to control.
She supported his ascension to the throne, while she herself became the person in power behind the scenes in this immortal realm.
Centuries have passed, and having lost two husbands, Xiao Xue's hair has turned half white; she is no longer young.
She came to the Sea of Nothingness this time in order to find the cause and effect of birth and death to revive her poor daughter.
Xiao Xue still remembers how her daughter was born, so delicate and sweet that it broke her heart.
Unfortunately, she failed to protect her daughter back then, and her daughter Mianmian died at the hands of that wicked man.
Sometimes, Xiao Xue truly regretted not listening to the Heavenly Emperor back then; she shouldn't have given birth to Yun Qi, that wretched child.
It was Yun Qi, that wicked wretch, who killed her mortal husband and caused the death of her woman.
It would have been better if she had reconciled with the Heavenly Emperor, but this wretched child disregarded everything and still killed the Heavenly Emperor.
Looking at the boundless sea before her, Xiao Xue held her daughter's rattle drum in her hand: "Mianmian, this time Mother will definitely revive you."
The word "mother" uttered by Xiao Xue, who was hiding in the shadows, felt only irony.
Xiao Xue's maids knew that what the Heavenly Consort was looking for must be very important to her.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Princess wouldn't have condescended to search for it herself.
A maid who seemed very capable helped the Empress up and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Xue's tears.
"Your Majesty, you are such a good person, Heaven will surely protect you."
"I hope so." Xiao Xue wore an extremely precious white cloud crown, and her whole demeanor transformed into one with an imposing and dignified aura.
Xiao Xue and the others entered the Boundless Sea.
Li Muge and Yun Qi then appeared, and she caught a glimpse of Yun Qi struggling to suppress his violent emotions.
She feigned nonchalance: "Demon Lord, actually, it's not just children who are the bond between parents, but parents are also the bond between children."
"The arising and ceasing of conditions is simply a matter of course." Li Muge tried to take Yun Qi's hand, but Yun Qi dodged it.
"I understand. In my heart, my parents have long been dead."
"And..." Yun Qi's face darkened: "Li Muge, you'd better be more self-aware. Don't think you can get close to me just by comforting me with a few words."
Li Muge: "..."
"Fine, Demon Lord, you've got guts. You deserve to die."
Li Muge was so angry that she stomped on Yun Qi's foot hard, her face contorted with extreme rage.
"Demon Lord, can you understand human language? You and Gong Yujia were never in love in the mortal realm."
"It was she who relentlessly pursued you, not me. Moreover, in the mortal realm, it was you who relentlessly pursued me, insisting on marrying me, understand?"
Yun Qi carefully looked Li Muge up and down, then shook his head: "Do you think you have the potential to make me pester you relentlessly?"
Li Muge felt as if he were standing in the crater of a volcano, with the possibility of a volcanic eruption at any moment.
For some reason, she smiled and said, "Is that so? If you hadn't taken a liking to me back then, Demon Lord, then who knows which dog it would have been."
"Back then, you insisted on marrying me in the imperial court. Demon Lord, you need to understand that you are the one who married into our Li family. What's there to be proud of? You hypocritical beast in human clothing."
Yun Qi's expression was somewhat unnatural: "That's why I..." He stopped midway through his sentence, unsure how to explain why he had been willing to marry this woman in the first place.
It's impossible to say it directly to Li Muge.
I never liked you. I just wanted to manipulate you and use you as a pawn.
Seeing Yun Qi's expression of having swallowed a fly, Li Muge lifted his foot and stared into the distance at the Boundless Sea before him.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave, lest those people from the Immortal Realm snatch the treasure first."
That would have been a waste of time.
Gong Yujia, still in her wedding dress, led her ministers and demon soldiers from the Demon Palace to the City of Extreme Evil, demanding that Li Muge hand over the Demon Lord.
"Guardian Mu Ge, I beg you, please have mercy and release the Demon Lord." Unable to enter the city gate, Gong Yujia had no choice but to kneel down outside the heavy gate.
Even under the scorching sun and in torrential rain, she remained kneeling stubbornly outside the city of extreme evil.
The demon soldiers who followed her all marveled at Consort Yu's deep affection. Gong Yujia heard the voices praising her behind her and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
After kneeling for a long time, Gong Yujia's knees were red and swollen, and her hair was disheveled by the heavy rain, making her look extremely disheveled.
"Guardian Mu Ge, I beg you, please return the Demon Lord to me. The Demon Lord and I are truly in love, please."
Her voice was so choked with emotion that it was impossible not to be moved.
Niu Zhan held a large sword, and the demon turtle was sleeping on his head, looking extremely comical.
The other soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but chuckle behind General Niu Zhan's back.
Niu Zhan turned his head and gave them a warning look.
The soldier immediately stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the distance.
Niu Zhan sighed, his heart filled with hatred for that old bastard.
He couldn't understand how the old bastard could track him wherever he was, since he had placed a tracking spell on him.
Snake Maiden led the black python up to the city wall and saw Gong Yujia kneeling pitifully outside the city. She frowned and looked puzzled.
"General Niu, you didn't tell her that the Protector and the Demon Lord aren't in the city. With her kneeling like this, the Protector and the Demon Lord can't see her!"
Niu Zhan shook his head helplessly: "Even if I told her, she wouldn't believe me. She insisted on kneeling until the protector handed over the Demon Lord."
