The Demon Lord's dark eyes were unfathomable, like a deep pool, captivating and mesmerizing.
Chu Xinxin jumped suddenly and subconsciously took a step back to get away from him.
"Demon Lord, these handcuffs are unnecessary, aren't they? The Yaoqing Grass is in your hands..."
Chu Xinxin realized she had lost her composure and immediately stopped backing away.
She composed herself, squatted down, leaned over the edge of the bed, and looked up at me pitifully, saying, "I can't run away, please help me untie this..."
The Demon Lord's gaze swept over her face twice, and he chuckled lightly, in a good mood, "There may be a second Yaoqing Grass in the world, but there is only one Goddess. If she escapes, where am I supposed to find another one?"
Chu Xinxin: "You're going to return it to me tomorrow..."
"I never said such a thing." The Demon Lord's lips curled into a playful smile. "Since the Goddess has called me Father, how could I possibly give up my position as the heir of the Demon Clan?"
Chu Xinxin: ......
Seeing her humiliated expression, the Demon Lord thought he had finally turned the tables, so he took pity on her and didn't let her keep watch that night, sending Chu Xinxin to the next tent instead.
After being captured and brought back, Chu Xinxin finally had some time to herself. As soon as she entered the tent, she couldn't wait to ask the system if it could break the handcuffs and shackles for her.
Sister, the ones on your feet are fine, but the ones in your hands won't...
"Why?"
Because it is a magical artifact.
Moreover, this artifact is imprisoned within the soul.
In other words, even if Chu Xinxin leaves this world, these handcuffs will stay with her forever.
[This is beyond my capabilities... Gods and demons are the highest level of known intelligent life; I cannot surpass them.]
After much hesitation, the system decided not to tell Chu Xinxin the whole story, only revealing half of it.
"Can it only be untied when the Demon Lord is in a good mood?"
Chu Xinxin felt suffocated. Wasn't this like having a GPS chip installed on her body, allowing the Demon Lord to know her location in real time?!
[We'll figure something out when we get back to the Protoss realm... Someone's come in!]
The system quickly retreated back into its own mini-program.
Chu Xinxin had just entered and there was no oil lamp lit, so the tent was pitch black.
The Demon Lord was extremely strict with his subordinates. By the time night fell (9-11 PM), the camp was completely silent, and even the patrolling soldiers dared not make a sound.
The system said someone had entered, but Chu Xinxin didn't hear a sound.
She sat up straight, alertly sensing the changes in her surroundings.
Suddenly, a gust of air surged behind her, and Chu Xinxin grabbed the teapot next to her and swung it backward without thinking.
My hand was grabbed halfway through, and some water spilled out of the teapot.
Then Chu Xinxin fell into an embrace that smelled of sunshine—
"Goddess, it's me."
Nan Guangyu's voice came from behind.
"Xiao Yu! How did you get in?"
Chu Xinxin was overjoyed.
"Shh, sister."
Nan Guangyu released her, walked to the window, lifted the curtain to take a look, turned around and continued, "It's not a good place to talk, sister, you should come with me."
A quarter of an hour ago, Chu Xinxin would have run away without hesitation.
The problem is, now the Demon Lord knows where she goes!
Chu Xinxin quickly explained it to Nan Guangyu. Nan Guangyu pondered for a moment and then took something out of his pocket.
"Sister, cover your mouth."
Chu Xinxin obediently did as she was told.
She's well-behaved, not the kind of well-behaved that's faked.
Nan Guangyu, who could see everything even in the darkness, darkened his eyes. Why hadn't she been so obedient in front of his true self?
Thinking it over in her mind, she didn't hesitate with her hands. With a swift cut, a long wound appeared on Chu Xinxin's finger.
Chu Xinxin cried out in pain, but fortunately Nan Guangyu had the foresight to tell her to cover her mouth.
Nan Guangyu took a bottle and squeezed out Chu Xinxin's blood.
"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?"
"Make a smokescreen."
Nan Guangyu formed a hand seal, and Chu Xinxin's blood emitted a faint glow as it floated out of the bottle, forming the characters "Goddess" in mid-air.
The moment it happened, Nan Guangyu took a piece of cloth and covered Chu Xinxin's hands: "This will fool you for a while, hurry up and go."
Is this reliable?
Before Chu Xinxin could finish her question, Nan Guangyu pulled her out.
The two little demons guarding Chu Xinxin's tent lay motionless on the ground, whether asleep or dead.
Nan Guangyu didn't even look at them and quickly ran southeast.
Chu Xin's mental strength was weak, and even though she tried her best to control it, she still couldn't make her footsteps as silent as Nan Guangyu.
Nan Guangyu simply picked her up horizontally and carried her to the edge of the demon realm before putting Chu Xinxin down.
Located on a cliff and surrounded by large trees, this place is an excellent spot for "smuggling".
As soon as Chu Xinxin's feet touched the ground, torches suddenly lit up the previously dark forest.
She and Nan Guangyu paused, turning around at the same time to see thousands of demons behind them.
The Demon Lord stood at the very front, looking at her with utterly cold eyes.
Nan Guangyu immediately shielded her behind him, gripping his weapon tightly and pointing it at the Demon Lord.
"Overestimating yourself!"
The Demon Lord pushed off the ground with his toes and flew towards them.
Nan Guangyu raised his sword and thrust it at the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord didn't dodge at all; Nan Guangyu's sword pierced straight into his shoulder...
Chu Xinxin's eyes narrowed. Something was wrong; there was no sound of the sword piercing flesh at all!
Nan Guangyu seemed to have noticed as well, but it was too late. The Demon Lord smiled wickedly and suddenly turned into black mist, scattering in all directions.
Chu Xinxin's heart pounded wildly, and she immediately left the spot.
Sure enough, the black mist gathered where she had been, and the Demon Lord reappeared.
Damn, what exactly is this big devil?!
Chu Xinxin ran towards Nan Guangyu, who also arrived and grabbed her hand. The two of them rushed towards the border of the Divine Clan in perfect unison.
The Demon Lord was hot on their heels.
Chu Xinxin couldn't run fast and was about to be caught up when Nan Guangyu suddenly pulled her forcefully, bringing her in front of him. Then, he struck Chu Xinxin's back with both palms, and a powerful force sent Chu Xinxin flying back to the territory of the gods.
"Xiao Yu!"
Ignoring the pain, Chu Xinxin had just gotten up from the ground when she saw Nan Guangyu's body swell up—
He actually wanted to self-destruct to buy time for Chu Xinxin!
Chu Xinxin's pupils dilated, and she desperately tried to rush over to stop him, but her hand was grabbed. She turned around and saw Meng Ji.
"Goddess is in danger!"
Meng Ji raised his hand and struck Chu Xinxin on the back of the neck, causing Chu Xinxin to go limp and faint.
Before she fainted, she saw the Demon Lord extract Nan Guangyu's divine power...
Nan Guangyu's body rapidly withered, and Meng Ji felt a chill run down his spine at just one glance.
He dared not linger any longer, hoisted Chu Xinxin onto his shoulder, and ran quickly toward the Divine Race camp...
