"What? You mean the Demon Lord brought back a woman? A demon?"
Inside a palace in the Demon Palace, a beautiful woman was furious after hearing her subordinate's report.
"I don't know; I can't tell whether she's a demon or a monster."
"Useless trash, where are they now?" Ning Xue's eyes were filled with anger.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, we have passed the Demon Forest and are almost outside the Demon Palace."
Upon hearing this, Ning Xue immediately went outside. She wanted to see which female demon dared to seduce the Demon Lord.
at the same time.
Ming Cang carried Mu Tiantian outside the Demon Palace, preparing to head towards his own palace.
Ning Xue walked towards her and gave a gentle bow, "Demon Lord."
Ming Cang nodded coldly to her, then carried Mu Tiantian and continued walking.
Ning Xue stood aside and looked at the woman in Ming Cang's arms. When she saw the woman's face, her eyes widened in shock.
That was the woman from the portrait treasured by Ming Cang!
Mu Tiantian glanced at Ning Xue and suddenly remembered something.
Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Master, who is the female lead of this world? Is it this woman?]
System: [No, this female demon is named Ning Xue, the master of one of the palaces in the Demon Palace. Currently, there is no female protagonist for the world. The most promising candidate is Sang Shiyao. She was born into the Celestial Immortal Clan, a Celestial Lord from birth, possesses exceptional talent in pharmacology, and has a high luck value. However, her luck value does not meet the minimum standard for a female protagonist.]
Mu Tiantian: [What does "most promising" mean?]
System: [Her luck stat is always hovering around the standard for a female protagonist in a world game.]
According to the World Health Organization's prediction, after Mu Tiantian leaves this world, Cang Yan, who has fallen into demonic possession, will be treated and cared for by Sang Shiyao.
As long as Sang Shiyao heals Cang Yan, her luck value will increase, thus making her the female lead of the world.
Then Sang Shiyao will support Cang Yan from behind the scenes to become the Heavenly Emperor and unify the Three Realms.
When Cang Yan ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, he was moved by Sang Shiyao, and the two worked together to protect the Three Realms and make the world a better place.
System: [However, before Sang Shiyao could even treat Cang Yan, he willingly became a demon and entered the Underworld. Therefore, the two had very little contact, and Sang Shiyao's luck value increased very slowly. Later, the Heavenly Realm sent her to the Underworld as an undercover agent. She originally wanted to come to Cang Yan's side, but the Heavenly Realm's deity discovered that she had other feelings for Cang Yan, so she was reassigned to Mu Yexuan's side instead.]
System: [According to the data, Sang Shiyao is attracted to Mu Yexuan, who is disguised as Cang Yan, and thus often forgets her mission in the Underworld. The more she trusts the disguised Mu Yexuan, the lower her luck value becomes. However, when she remembers her mission, her luck value increases. Therefore, her luck value always hovers around the standard line for the female lead of the world.]
Mu Tiantian: [Oh~ I see. So when I saw Mu Yexuan disguised as Cang Yan at the temple fair, his purpose was to deceive Sang Shiyao, or rather, to make Sang Shiyao be used by him. He must have known Sang Shiyao's identity as an immortal and also noticed her feelings for Cang Yan to do that.]
System: [That's probably it.]
Mu Tiantian: [This is Mu Yexuan's usual tactic. He impersonates others and uses their feelings to achieve his own goals. Back then, he pretended to be Jun Mo and deliberately approached me, who was on good terms with Cang Yanguan. Later, I accidentally discovered his true identity, and he wanted to use me. Once he achieved his goal, he would kick me aside. This person is extremely cunning and scheming. Anyone who falls for him is doomed.]
System: [But he didn't dump you, did he? Didn't he keep his promise and marry you as his empress?]
Mu Tiantian: [Who knows what's wrong with him?]
System: [What if they like you?]
Mu Tiantian: [What are you thinking? All he cares about is power, and he likes me too? Maybe... he's just being merciful and keeping his promise because I took a hit for him. But he's probably regretting it now, and probably wants to kill me.]
System: [Perhaps... you're right, he's currently mobilizing all the demons in the entire Underworld to hunt you down.]
Mu Tiantian: [I knew it! I thought he might have forgotten what happened back then after five hundred years. It seems that deep-seated hatred is indeed not easy to forget.]
She decided that as long as Ming Cang didn't attack her, she would never leave the Demon Palace.
The entire underworld is probably not as safe as this place now.
Ming Cang carried Mu Tiantian to a bedroom next to his palace, the furnishings of which were no different from those in the human world.
There is a door in one of the walls of the bedroom.
I don't know what's behind the door.
Ming Cang walked to the bedside, recited an incantation in his mind, and released his grip.
The silver chain on Mu Tiantian's wrist was suddenly untied, and she fell weightlessly onto the bed, the soft bed still bouncing back slightly.
The black robe that fell with her bounced and slipped off her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of her fair, white shoulders.
Ming Cang's eyes darkened, and he leaned in.
Mu Tiantian smiled sweetly as he approached, "Ayan..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her hands being pulled by a strong force, and the silver chain on the silver ring stretched out again.
This time, however, they weren't intertwined; instead, they extended to the supports on either side of the headboard, as did the silver rings on their feet.
At this moment, she was chained to the bed.
She pulled her wrist back slightly, and no matter how far her hand was, the silver chain would continue to extend from the small hole in the silver ring.
"It won't affect your activities, but you absolutely cannot leave this room," Ming Cang said coldly as he stood up.
Mu Tiantian nodded, looking indifferent, and said, "That's fine too."
Ming Cang was somewhat surprised to see that she wasn't angry. He had originally planned that if she got angry, he would start bringing up old grievances and recounting all the times she had betrayed him.
Her nonchalant attitude suddenly made him feel a little stifled.
Mu Tiantian pulled her black robe tighter, got out of bed and walked to the table. The silver chain extended outwards with her, but it didn't really hinder her movements.
She picked up the teapot on the table, intending to pour water, only to find it empty.
She turned around and saw Ming Cang staring at her intently.
Mu Tiantian walked up to him with a water bottle and grinned, "I can't go out, could you get me a water bottle?"
Ming Cang stared at her smiling face, somewhat lost in thought.
It felt like going back to the past.
Back in the celestial realm, she came to him happily, holding her improved immortal spirit fruit, and said, "Ayan, Ayan, look! I've grown my improved immortal spirit fruit. Try it and see how it tastes! If it's delicious, I'll plant it all over this mountain for you..."
He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her face.
Ming Cang noticed his movement, snapped out of his daze, quickly took the kettle from her hand, and left the room.
After closing the door, Ming Cang laughed self-deprecatingly.
Oh, my dear, how could you still be moved by her?
That's ridiculous.
