"Thank you both for your kindness, but I already have a place to go," Ruan Xiyan said with a smile, declining the offer.
"That's a real pity." Lan Zhou didn't insist. "Now that Miss Ruan has gotten what she wanted, would you like to stay in my demon clan for a few more days, or leave now?"
Before Ruan Xiyan could answer, Lan Wang couldn't help but speak up, "Miss Ruan, why don't you stay a few more days? I can show you around our demon clan."
Faced with Lan Wang's warm invitation, Ruan Xiyan smiled and agreed, "Okay."
She had just refused to stay in the demon clan; if she refused again, she might offend them.
"That's great! Our demon race has many fun places to visit. Maybe Miss Ruan will like it here." Lan Wang joked enthusiastically, "Then Miss Ruan will change her mind."
Lan Zhou, who was standing to the side, did not stop them.
Although this Miss Ruan refused to stay in the demon race, it would be very beneficial for the demon race if Lan Wang could befriend her.

In the realm of gods, outside the Heavenly Palace, Fu Lizhi knelt there.
The attendants passing by glanced at it briefly and then quickly left.
What did Her Highness the Goddess do to anger the God Lord so much? The God Lord usually dotes on Her Highness the most.
The temple doors opened from the inside, and a divine attendant came out.
He bowed to Fu Lizhi and said, “Your Highness, the Divine Lord does not wish to see you. You disregarded his orders and made peace with the Demon Clan without authorization. The Divine Lord has punished you by sending you to receive eighty-one heavenly punishments.”
"After the Heavenly Punishment ended, she was to be imprisoned in the Valley of Bones to reflect on her mistakes. The God-Emperor said that she could come out when Her Highness the Goddess had come to her senses and realized her mistakes."
“Your Highness, please,” the attendant gestured.
Fu Lizhi stood up, glanced in the direction of the Qingtian Palace, and turned to walk towards the place where she would receive the heavenly punishment.
The divine punishment of the gods was specially set up by the God-Emperor. Even a God-King level expert cannot withstand its power, let alone eighty-one divine punishments. The God-Emperor is truly enraged this time.
One divine punishment after another fell upon Fu Lizhi.
Fu Lizhi gritted her teeth and persevered, her clothes stained red with blood, and blood welled up in her mouth.
"Smack!"
Until the final divine punishment descended, Fu Lizhi could no longer hold on and collapsed to her knees.
Just then, a mocking voice came from not far away, "Oh, isn't this our most favored goddess? What happened to her? She was beaten so badly."
"As her younger sister, I felt so sorry for her when I saw this." Fu Yashan asked knowingly, saying words of reluctance, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
I never imagined I'd see Fu Lizhi in such a miserable state; it's incredibly satisfying!
Some time ago, her fiefdom was attacked by demons one after another for some unknown reason, resulting in heavy casualties.
Logically speaking, it should be Fu Lizhi who has a grudge against the demons. She doesn't understand why the demons are blaming her and launching a surprise attack on her territory for no reason.
Although she despised the demons, she never openly clashed with them, because she couldn't afford to offend those madmen.
Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow the anger of being ambushed by the demons.
Seeing Fu Lizhi in such a disheveled state, she suddenly felt much better, and even forgot about being ambushed by the demons.
"Instead of wasting time making sarcastic remarks here, you should go and properly manage your chaotic fiefdom," Fu Lizhi said coldly.
"Your Highness need not concern yourself with my affairs. You are now despised by your father, what right do you have to interfere in my affairs? You should go to your Valley of Bones and reflect on your actions."
"If you don't perform well, you might never be able to get out of there. As for the position of the goddess of the divine race, I will take over." Fu Yashan looked like she was kicking someone when they were down.
Fu Lizhi forced herself to stand up, her voice flat, "Come and show off when you're sitting down."
After she finished speaking, she left and headed towards the Valley of Skeletons.
Fu Yashan stomped her foot in anger. Fu Lizhi had already fallen to such a state, yet she still put on such an annoying act.
She wanted to see how long Fu Lizhi could be so arrogant. Sooner or later, she would make her grovel at her feet.
Thinking of this, Fu Yashan took out the pastries she had carefully prepared and walked towards the Qingtian Palace.
While Fu Lizhi is not favored by her father, she must seize the opportunity to please him. If Fu Lizhi can become a goddess, so can she!
Valley of Corpses.
This place was once a fierce battlefield. Because so many people died here, the evil aura was very strong, the ground was covered with bones, and the sun never shone.
This is the prison of the gods. Anyone who makes a mistake will be imprisoned in this small world, suffering the torment of evil energy and resentment.
Countless people have turned into piles of bones here, never leaving until the end of their lives, so the Valley of Bones is also known as a place where one can enter but never leave.
The Valley of Bones is barren and eerily gloomy. Only the phoenix trees, which survive by absorbing malevolent energy and the power of skeletons, stand out as a striking and beautiful sight, adding a touch of vitality to the valley.
Fu Lizhi walked step by step into the Valley of the Corpse Prison. The divine slaves guarding outside looked at her figure and exchanged bewildered glances.
Her Highness the Goddess is the most beloved daughter of the God, yet she has now been imprisoned in the Valley of Bones to reflect on her actions.
Fu Lizhi was here for the first time as a prisoner, but this was not her first time setting foot here. She was very familiar with everything here, and she walked straight into the depths of the Valley of the Corpse Prison.
Deep within the Valley of the Skeletons, before the mountain wall, several dazzling phoenix trees come into view.
Under the phoenix tree were simple tables and chairs, where an old man was taking a nap.
His expression was calm and serene, as if he were one with his surroundings, as if this were not the vicious Valley of Bones, but a place where he was on vacation.
Of course, this is on the premise that the feet are bound by two chains, which are covered with dense runes and extend endlessly, with no known end in sight.
Hearing the noise, Gu Fengqing slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing Fu Lizhi's figure, Gu Fengqing slightly rose, the chains on his feet making a soft sound with his movement.
"Your Highness, please sit."
Gu Fengqing sized up Fu Lizhi in front of him, "It seems that Her Highness did not come here specifically to play chess with me this time."
Fu Lizhi sat down in the chair familiarly. "I'm sorry, Senior Gu, I didn't have time to bring you anything this time."
Gu Fengqing said nonchalantly, "It's alright. In the entire God Realm, only Her Highness the Goddess still remembers this old man."
"If it weren't for Her Highness the Goddess visiting me from time to time and playing chess with me, I'm afraid my life would be even more boring."
