The tomb-like expression on the lion demon's face moved, but the hand that was restraining Chen Lele did not relax at all.
But even this small touch rekindled Chen Lele's hope. She continued, "From childhood to adulthood, I've had the best food, clothing, and everything else. I even attended the best academy in the entire Lanxuan Continent. I'm vain and used to enjoying life. I really can't live with you in this bare cave, let alone eat... Can you guarantee there's food in this mountain that won't starve me to death?"
At this point, she smiled miserably and said, "Yes, this is Changpu Mountain. At worst, there are wild grasses and game to ensure I won't starve to death, right? But this is not what I'm used to. I'm used to chefs cooking, exquisite food, and my favorite bags, favorite brand-name clothes, cosmetics... so many things. In short, there's nothing here that I'm used to. Mr. Lion Demon, if you really love me, you should want me to live a good life, not make me live a life worse than death!"
Chen Lele took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Either let me go or kill me!"
The lion demon was completely stunned. After a long while, he said blankly, "You weren't like this before! I thought you would like it here. What you loved most before was living in seclusion in the mountains! You said that the mountains are peaceful and that is where we lions should be... I didn't know... I didn't know you would change so much in your reincarnation!" After speaking, he looked up at Chen Lele and said, "Believe me, I will definitely give you everything you want, believe me!"
He even became a demon king for his wife, so what about those material possessions? He believed that as long as he was willing to go down the mountain, with his level of demon king, he would definitely earn a fortune for Chen Lele.
"Then why don't you wait until you're rich before coming to me?" Chen Lele tried harder. "Just let me go home! I'm already yours, and I won't marry anyone else. Wait until you're successful and rich, then come back to the Chen family to propose marriage and marry me off in style, okay?"
The lion demon obviously hesitated and loosened his grip on Chen Lele.
Chen Lele gritted her teeth and simply placed her hand on the lion demon's short, thick hand. She tried to speak gently and said, "I'll be waiting for you to marry me at home!"
"You won't run away?" the lion demon asked hesitantly.
"Of course not. Our Chen family's huge assets are all in Lanxuan City. Where can I run to?" Chen Lele said as calmly as possible. "You should know that to be able to enter Lanxuan College, you must be rich or noble. You only need to ask around to find out where my Chen family is. Even if I want to run away, I can't!"
It would be strange if he didn't run away. Chen Lele made up her mind that as long as she left Changpu Mountain, she would offer a large reward and find a powerful monster catcher to kill the lion monster and eliminate the trouble forever.
The lion demon pondered and said, "No need. I just told you that I have transferred some demonic energy into your body. This is equivalent to leaving my mark. No matter where you are, I will find you the first time!" After a pause, he said, "If I can't find you, I will kill your entire Chen family!"
Chen Lele's eyes widened. Was this... a threat? But would such a threat work on her? In this world, besides her own, what did the lives of others have to do with her?
However, she would definitely find someone to kill him before he destroyed her family. (*｀へ′*)
