Sheng Ning never expected that even after arriving in the Demon Realm, she would still be able to enjoy some gossip.
Unfortunately, there were no melon seeds in the cultivation world, so she could only take out a bunch of snacks that her senior brothers had prepared for her from her mustard seed bag and put them on the table.
She put the dried spirit fruit in her mouth and mumbled, "Slurp it."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, the little white dumpling was speechless. "You don't want to get out, but you want to hear all this nonsense?"
Sheng Ning shrugged. "I already asked the demonic cultivators on my way here. If I run away, they'll kill me."
"My important weapons are all left in Youyun City, including the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword. I can almost be described as powerless now."
"Escape? Where can I escape to? The Demon Lord might be eavesdropping on me from some corner right now."
“The other party’s cultivation level is definitely higher than mine. If he wants to, I won’t be able to detect his aura.”
Sheng Ning's words left the little white dumpling speechless.
Watching her devour the dried spirit fruit with such relish, he couldn't help but swallow hard. 'Do you really want to know?'
Sheng Ning nodded. "Is this something I can't know? Or is it that the person the Demon Lord loves but can't have is actually...?"
'It wasn't you, but a human cultivator.'
The little white dumpling's words interrupted the thought that had been lingering in her mind.
Sheng Ning swallowed the dried spiritual fruit in his mouth, frowning in confusion.
"If they are human cultivators? They can live a long time just as well if they cultivate diligently."
"If that's the case, why bother with a newspaper?"
The little white dumpling didn't understand what 'newspaper' meant.
He leaped off Sheng Ning's shoulder and lay on the bag of mustard seeds, inhaling the sweet and cloying aroma of the dried spirit fruit.
'The human cultivator took the Demon Lord in after he was severely injured and lost his memory. During this time, the two fell in love and consummated their marriage.'
'But the Demon Lord is still the Demon Lord; he couldn't suppress the demonic energy within him. And that human cultivator was a legitimate cultivator; after sensing the demonic energy within him...'
'Unable to bring himself to kill the Demon Lord, he sent the Demon Lord back to the Demon Realm and then committed suicide.'
Seeing his adorable appearance as he lay on the mustard seed bag smelling the dried spirit fruit, Sheng Ning couldn't help but pick up a piece of dried fruit and offer it to him. "Can you eat this? I've never seen you open your mouth before."
Before she could finish speaking, the tiny white ball in front of her, no bigger than the palm of her hand, suddenly swelled up.
The next instant, a gaping maw swallowed half of her arm.
The color suddenly faded from her once rosy face.
Sheng Ning frowned as she looked at the white ball of dough in front of her, finally understanding why he had refused to open his mouth.
This guy is fine when he doesn't open his mouth, but once he does, he can swallow her head whole!
Fortunately, Zhuzhao knew what was good for her; after eating the dried spiritual fruit in her hand, she spat out her arm.
The enlarged body returned to its former size, a tiny white ball. Zhu Zhao let out a burp at the person before him, 'Thank you.'
"You're welcome." Sheng Ning glanced down at the water stains on her sect robes, her eye twitching violently.
After she used the Cleansing Technique to clean the drool off her arm, she saw the little white ball lying on the mustard seed bag again.
He looked like a glutton.
"According to what you said, although that human cultivator committed suicide, his soul can still be reincarnated."
Sheng Ning didn't want him to put her arm in his mouth again, so she silently pinched the little white ball of flesh and tossed him aside.
Immediately afterward, she swiftly stuffed the mustard seed bag back into her bosom.
Seeing this, the little white ball blinked, its eyes filled with reluctance. "It's like this," it said, "when the human cultivators first died, the Demon Lord was distraught and wanted to destroy the cultivation world."
'Later, he learned that the monk would be reincarnated, and that's why he's been at peace for so many years.'
'Right now, the pillar of heaven has collapsed. It's uncertain whether it's because he's had another episode, or because 'you' didn't repair it properly last time.'
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning roughly understood the reason behind it.
When she read the original novel, the author didn't mention this point, so she must have unlocked the hidden plot after she came here.
She tapped her fingers on the table, and when she looked up again, she saw the air in front of her suddenly ripple.
The next instant, the air in front of her suddenly became thin.
She thought to herself, "No wonder they're sworn enemies," and then felt a chill on her neck. She blinked and saw a sickly face in front of her.
"Sheng Ning, it's been a long time."
A man's hoarse voice echoed throughout the vast palace.
Sheng Ning curled her lips at the person in front of her. Because her neck was being held in his hand, she couldn't speak, so she could only wave her hand at him.
Seeing that she was still as arrogant and fearless as before, a shadow of gloom appeared in the Demon Lord's dark pupils.
His pale fingers tightened until he saw her face turn red, but she didn't resist at all. Suddenly, the Demon Lord felt bored, so he flicked his arm and left her aside.
Fresh air was re-infused into the lungs.
Sheng Ning couldn't help but cough.
Why don't you resist?
Looking down at Sheng Ning, who was slumped on the ground, the Demon Lord's eyes were filled with hostility.
After Sheng Ning finished coughing, she didn't get up, but sat cross-legged on the ground. "What's the use of me resisting? The more I resist, the more excited you get."
"I understand why people like you have such twisted minds."
When his thoughts were revealed, a look of shame and annoyance appeared on the Demon Lord's sickly pale face.
He bent down, reached out and lifted her chin. "After all these years, you haven't changed at all."
Sheng Ning did not refute his words, but instead asked him, "You mean, I used to be called Sheng Ning too?"
"You don't even know your own name?" The Demon Lord's gloomy face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and revealed a mocking expression.
"That's true. Back then, you risked your life to save all living beings. Now that you've been reincarnated, it's normal that you don't remember the past."
"But Sheng Ning, do you see the people you saved? They are still selfish and self-serving, even willing to cooperate with me for resources. Don't you regret it?"
The man bent down and spoke into Sheng Ning's ear.
Despite the intense heat of the demon race, his entire body was ice-cold.
Even the breath he exhaled when he spoke was chilling, as if a snake were flicking its tongue near his ear.
After hearing his last words, Sheng Ning's little face showed a look of 'I knew it'.
She clicked her tongue lightly and said, "I was just acting on a whim. Besides, I didn't save the common people back then, but the people around me."
"You are not me, so how do you know if I will regret it?"
"But do you regret it? If it weren't for you, your beloved wouldn't have committed suicide."
Her tone was so indifferent that it took the Demon Lord a long time to feel annoyed after hearing her last words.
