“Demon Lord, we have already negotiated with Yuan Qi Ningxue, but Ming Cang does not agree to our crossing the Mingyin Mountains to search for Mu Tiantian.”
Bei You and Sang Shiyao stood on either side of Mu Yexuan.
In the main seat, Mu Yexuan was playing with half a red stone in his hand, the stone emitting an extremely dazzling red light.
Sang Shiyao continued, "And they said that Mu Tiantian is not in the Demon Palace."
Mu Yexuan looked at the half-red pill in his hand and sneered, "She must be in the Demon Palace."
Seeing the red stone in Mu Yexuan's hand, Bei You remembered something and asked, "This is... Mu Tiantian's demon core?"
He remembered that after Mu Tiantian disappeared from the Demon Palace five hundred years ago, the Demon Lord used this half of the Demon Core to search for Mu Tiantian, but still found nothing.
As a result, he was punished by the Demon Lord and almost lost half his life.
Mu Yexuan did not answer, but gripped the demon core tightly.
Five hundred years ago, he led his demon soldiers to attack the Heavenly Realm.
Upon learning his identity, Cang Yan immediately came to kill him.
At that time, he was wearing specially made armor from the underworld, designed to counter Cang Yan's divine power, which could reflect 50% of Cang Yan's divine power back at him.
However, to his surprise, Mu Tiantian actually blocked Cang Yan's attack for him.
He stared in shock at Mu Tiantian, who lay in his arms, covered in blood and with her demon core shattered.
Mu Tiantian clutched his clothes, weakly enduring the pain, and asked, "Demon Lord...you promised to grant me a wish, is that still true?"
Mu Yexuan pursed his lips; this was the first time he had ever felt so helpless.
He should have kicked her away and not been moved by her, but suddenly he couldn't do it.
"I will marry you in a grand and glorious way, and you will be my one and only demon queen." This was his promise to her.
"I...don't want to be the Demon Queen, would you...be willing to retreat?" If Mu Yexuan had listened to her back then, the losses of the Three Realms would have been minimized, and the Underworld would not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
Mu Yexuan picked her up. "I can grant you all other requests, but retreat? Impossible."
"Don't want to be a demon empress? Absolutely not!"
Finally, he healed her wounds and repaired her demon core.
"I never expected that you would heal my wounds."
"Since you are willing to risk your life to save me, I will naturally heal you. Besides, you are my Demon Queen, how could I stand by and watch you die?"
After healing her, he split her demon core in two, intending to combine it with his own half of the demon core during their grand wedding in the underworld and give it back to her.
What she received in return was news of a crushing defeat for the Underworld, and her subsequent disappearance.
"Demon Lord, Ning Xue of the Demon Clan requests an audience." Bei You's voice pulled Mu Yexuan back to reality.
"Ning Xue?" Mu Yexuan asked in surprise. "Let her in."
“Demon Lord.” Ning Xue nodded, a beautiful smile on her lips.
His eyes were full of scheming.
...
After a night of tossing and turning, Mu Tiantian's body ached.
When she regained consciousness, no one was around her.
She was the only one on the huge bed.
System: [Ming Cang's hatred value decreased by 40, currently at 30.]
Mu Tiantian stood up and then realized that the silver rings on her wrists and ankles were gone.
After a while, several women came in carrying clothes.
"Miss Mu, these are the clothes the Demon Lord prepared for you." After saying this, the group put down the clothes and left.
The clothes that were delivered came in all colors, and every single one of them was beautiful.
Mu Tiantian pulled her black robe tighter, walked up to the clothes, and tried them on.
After a while, another demon servant came in, carrying food and a pot of water.
"Miss Mu, this is dinner prepared for you."
"Dinner? How do you tell the time of day here?" This was what Mu Tiantian was curious about.
“Miss Hui Mu, in the underworld, the moon is in the east when it is morning, in the middle when it is noon, in the west when it is dusk, and when there is no moon, it is night.”
Mu Tiantian nodded after hearing this, "That's similar to sunrise and sunset in the human world."
"Yes, Miss Mu."
Mu Tiantian saw the water bottle she had brought on the table and asked, "What kind of water is in this bottle? It tastes very good."
"This is the nectar of the underworld, which can nourish the body and is mainly used to heal wounds."
"Recover from injuries?"
"Yes, whether it's an internal or external injury, drinking it will make the injury heal faster. Moreover, the nectar is quite rare and difficult to collect. The Demon Lord really cares about Miss Mu. He personally collected all of this nectar."
The demon servant realized he had said too much and quickly withdrew.
Mu Tiantian thought back to what injuries she had.
When was she injured after she returned to this world?
She couldn't quite remember what she was calling out to Qitong: "Qitong, scan me. Am I injured?"
Qi Tong immediately scanned the code after hearing this.
System: [You are missing half a demon core, and the injury you sustained five hundred years ago has not fully healed.]
Mu Tiantian: [Has the injury from five hundred years ago not fully healed yet?]
System: [The clone storage center has not repaired the host's body functions.]
Mu Tiantian: [I didn't even know to add one.]
System: [The World Health Organization currently does not have a budget for this.]
Mu Tiantian: [So stingy.]
system:【......】
Mu Tiantian touched her chin, recalling five hundred years ago.
She discovered that Mu Yexuan was wearing armor that could reflect half of Cang Yan's divine power back at him, which is why she shielded Mu Yexuan from that attack.
After all, she had only recently transferred demonic energy to Cang Yan, and his body was already quite weak.
If he were to be injured by her own divine power again, he would probably lose half his life, so she had no other choice but to do that.
She remembered Mu Yexuan's promise to her; she wanted him to retreat in order to minimize the losses to the world.
However, she didn't have much hope.
As expected, Mu Yexuan continued his attack on the Heavenly Realm.
But what she least expected was that he actually wanted to marry her.
I don't know why he took half of her demon core, and that's why she didn't have enough power to escape from the demon palace.
So, Ming Cang knew from the beginning that she was injured, which is why he gave her the nectar.
Mu Tiantian was delighted and sat down at the table.
Just as she was about to eat, the bedroom door was pushed open forcefully.
Yuan Qi rushed in.
