That's right, I am a princess, not a princess of the mortal realm like Princess Anguo. I am a princess of the demon realm, named Feng Chaoruo. Xiao Qing is my maid, whose real name is Lu Chaowei. Because her name contains the character "Chao," my mother changed her name to Lu Wei. She is my favorite maid, without a doubt.
Because of her resilient and endearing personality, she was originally the beloved daughter of Lu Qingmang, one of the ten great demon lords of the demon realm, and a princess of the demon race.
It was only because his father fell in love with my aunt, Xiu Mian Fu Rong Leng Han Chang, that he slaughtered more than 300 immortal temples in the mortal realm to avenge my aunt, which angered many great gods in the heavenly realm. As a result, he was dismissed by my father and became a sinner, and was punished to be sent to the icy hell for 30,000 years. His daughter then became my nominal maid.
In reality, my father placed her with me to protect her from being harmed by others.
Her unpredictable nature is what defines her. I suppose she came to the mortal realm on my mother's orders to help me.
My purpose in descending to the mortal realm is to help my father repay the debt of life owed to Ji Ruchen.
Legend has it that three thousand years ago, I was about to die right after hatching from my egg. It was my father who found me a priceless treasure, which allowed me to grow up healthy and strong for three thousand years.
It was only later that I learned that it wasn't some innate treasure at all, but simply someone else's heart, or more precisely, half of a tree spirit's heart.
I have lived a healthy and happy life for three thousand years by eating someone else's heart, while that person is dead.
To save me, my father dug up the heartwood of a tree belonging to a demon who was about to attain immortality.
He died unwillingly, his soul scattered everywhere, only a wisp of his soul drifted to the underworld, drank Meng Po's yellow soup, and was reincarnated as a mortal.
Because his soul was incomplete, he died a tragic death in every life.
At first, things were alright; at most, they would choke to death while eating, choke to death while drinking water, fall to their death while walking, be beaten to death while working, or be dragged to death by cattle while herding cattle.
Furthermore, the son of the concubine was poisoned to death, and while out playing with his friends, he was pushed off a cliff and died.
On two other occasions, they were mistakenly reborn into the animal realm, where they were transformed into fish and roasted and eaten.
Even if you work hard like an ox your whole life, you'll still end up being eaten.
But he was born a saint. His ancestors taught him, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" So he didn't care at all.
He even almost forgot about his greatest enemy, his father, the Demon Lord, and earnestly continued his journey of cultivation.
Unfortunately, good people don't live long, while evil people live for thousands of years.
His act of repaying evil with good only resulted in God inflicting even more harm upon him.
This gradually transformed him from a saint into a terrifying demon. Before descending to the mortal realm, I went to the underworld to see his past three thousand years and witnessed him experience almost every form of torture in the world.
He was wrongfully imprisoned 21 times, beheaded 8 times, cut in half at the waist 15 times, suffered from five-horse rheumatism 4 times, and was pierced by ten thousand arrows 69 times.
The record for the punishment has broken six previous records, making it the most severe in the century.
These experiences eventually drove him to the brink of despair, turning him into a fearsome demon.
My mission in descending to the mortal realm is to prevent him from becoming a true demon.
Whether it was 100,000 or 300,000 years ago, true demons ceased to exist in the world.
Compared to the demons of ancient times, the demons of today are like fireflies compared to the bright moon—there's simply no comparison.
The demons of today are focused on cultivating immortality, and are essentially no different from the cultivators in the human world and the demon realm.
They all dream of ascending to heaven and becoming a member of the Nine Heavens.
