Yuyao woke up to find herself lying in bed, the dark red bed curtains forming a stark contrast with the pitch-black and cold palace, eerie and gloomy, enveloped in dark mist.
This environment is clearly that of the demon world, but it is not the Ninth Hell Hall. I do not know what part of the demon palace this is.
She shivered and suddenly became alert for half a moment.
Looking down, she realized that she was no longer dressed as an apprentice Taoist but had somehow returned to her previous attire.
She had also put on a beautiful and delicate black skirt.
Her first reaction was "oh no," she was discovered by the demon lord, so would she be sliced into pieces next?
"Come here."
Suddenly, the cold and gloomy voice crashed towards her.
Yuyao trembled in fear at the sound, and her heart raced as she looked up.
She saw a man, whose face was handsome and seductive, wearing a wide and black robe, his expression cold and gloomy, appear on the black gold bed in the bedroom, as if he had appeared there at any moment.
He narrowed his slender phoenix eyes at her, making her scalp tingle, and she couldn't say a word.
"Who gave you the audacity to run around?"
His eyes seemed to be studded with centuries of unmelting ice, and the angry voice crashed down on her.
Yuyao's face turned slightly pale, but she suppressed her fear in her heart.
She forced a smile on her face and thought about how to stroke his feathers smooth.
"I was just feeling bored and wanted to go out for a walk. I heard that the Heavenly Court is hosting a Peach Festival, so I thought I'd go see the excitement..."
The demon lord's eyebrows shot up, and his voice was still cold: "What happened to Mojin? How did you get involved with him and become his disciple? He seems to be very concerned about you."
"Would you not like to explain this to me?"
His deep, dark eyes stared at her intently, his red lips looked like they were dripping with blood, and his voice was extremely cold.
As if she only needed to give a bad answer, she would fall into a bottomless abyss, never to escape.
Yuyao's heart was pounding, and she was so nervous that she was terrified on the inside.
In a panic, she started to make things up:
"I was sightseeing in the fairy realm when I accidentally bumped into a winged dragon. I wasn't his match, and my life was in danger. Fortunately, Mojin deity appeared and saved me."
Seeing the demon lord's brow furrow and his face grow increasingly gloomy, she quickly said, "I was thinking that since I didn't have an invitation to attend the Peach Festival, I latched onto him and asked him to take me to the Heavenly Court."
"Hmm...you are quite bold. Does Mojin openly dislike women, and won't he kill you with one hand?"
The demon lord smirked and mocked, the gloom on his face did not dissipate.
Yuyao's face stiffened as she watched the demon lord continue to make absurd claims:
"He initially refused and didn't want to have anything to do with me. I shamelessly followed him anyway, and he got annoyed by my persistence. He took me there, dressed me as a disciple, and that's how it happened..."
After speaking, she anxiously watched the demon lord, her expression uneasy.
She didn't know if this excuse would work, but she had exhausted all her other ideas at the moment.
The demon lord's eyebrows were knotted tightly, and his heart was becoming more and more upset.
Alright, not only did he save her life, but it was the woman who actively clung to him.
Although it was for the sake of attending that Peach Festival, he was still not pleased.
He had yet to dispel the malicious aura on his face, and continued to ask in a cold voice, "Why did you pretend not to recognize me at the Yellow Pool?"
The moment he brought this up, he became extremely angry. The woman had been so scared that she had hidden behind Mojin.
Does she forget that she is his woman?
What a damned woman.
The demon lord's eyebrows furrowed, and before she could even blink, he was right in front of Yuyao. She was startled and instinctively took a step back.
His long, large hand clutched her slender waist, immobilizing her.
Yuyao looked at the handsome face that was only inches away from her and joked, "Master, don't be angry. Actually, when Mimi saw you, she was very happy. It's just that there were many people at the Yellow Pool, and I couldn't reveal ourselves in public."
Seeing that his face had softened, no longer as cold and unpleasant as before.
Yuyao's heart leaped with joy, and she knew what this man wanted to hear.
She wrapped her arm around his neck and hung on to him as if she had no bones.
She spoke with a seductive expression, "Master, Mimi really misses you, so much, so much..."
The demon lord's large hand wrapped around the woman's delicate waist, his brows and eyes showing less of their malicious aura. He lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms: "How much do you miss me?"
"Missing you makes Mimi's heart ache, and I can't sleep at night."
Yuyao's expression was seductive, and her red lips curved slightly as she closed her eyes and made absurd claims.
At this moment, she didn't mind saying a few more sweet words to flatter the man.
The demon lord lifted her chin with his finger, the skin under his touch smooth and soft, and he couldn't help but stroke it lightly, a smirk on his lips. "Really?"
It seemed that he didn't quite believe this.
Yuyao's face stiffened, but she quickly recovered to her natural state, her expression sincere: "More real than gold."
The demon lord's burning heaven smile grew even more sinister, his deep eyes staring intently at the beauty before him as he spoke with merciless words.
"Then, I will tear out your heart, let you feel more pain, how about it?"
Yuyao's smile froze on her face, her expression turned to terror, and she just stared at him.
What does this man mean? Does he want to cut out her heart?
What a pain, good romance turned into blood and gore.
To be honest, she was really afraid that the demon lord would tear out her heart.
This man is actually capable of doing such a thing.
Yuyao softly begged, "Master, please spare Mimi. Mimi won't do it again next time..."
Her alluring eyes were filled with tears, her tail had a pitiful shade of red, and this pitiful expression of her pleading begging was enough to tug at the heartstrings.
Even more so, she threw in her own "helpless and pitiful," "I pity you just by looking at you," and the halo of "a pure and virtuous woman" to herself.
In short, she couldn't let the demon lord really tear out her heart.
The demon lord's heart had already softened to a mess, but he was filled with anger when he thought of what the woman had done.
There was also a deep-seated jealousy.
He wanted her to remember this, so that she wouldn't run away without a care in the future, then hook up with men from all six realms. That was absolutely not acceptable.
"If you dare to run again, I will sever your tendons and ligaments, and lock you in the Ninth Hell Hall forever. Do you hear me?"
The demon lord, though his heart was soft as ever and he longed to hold her in his arms and comfort her, still spoke with cruel words.
It was full of warning.
Yuyao's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded obediently. At this moment, she dare not defy the demon lord.
"Come to serve me."
The demon lord released her and lifted his robe, sitting back on the bed, watching her with a sinister smile.
Yuyao gazed at the exposed Lifeline in front of her, understanding his intentions in her heart. Her face turned as red as blood, and she was filled with shame and fury.
He actually wants her to...
If she truly likes the demon lord, perhaps she wouldn't mind doing something like that for him.
The problem is that she doesn't like him. The sweet words of romance are just made up to please him.
In such a situation, she would be more resistant to such behavior.
She knows that if she rejects it now, she will definitely anger him.
Yuyao suddenly remembered that there was a special item in the system mall.
It is a special item that can be used by the host to replace themselves with a virtual soul when they are unwilling to have an intimate relationship with the main character of the task.
It means temporarily extracting her soul from her body, then injecting a virtual soul into it to replace her and have a sexual relationship with the task's male lead.
Of course, all actions of the virtual soul are imitating her, and will not be discovered.
"Universe, quickly extract my soul into the space and exchange it for a virtual item to replace me in serving the demon lord."
Under pressure, she quickly spoke to the system in her heart.
The system wanted to make fun of her, but also quickly extracted her soul into space.
After that, a virtual soul was injected into her body to replace her in serving the demon lord.
Yuyao's soul watched from the space, and she saw herself kneeling at his feet...
The scene was too shameful to watch, and she blushed even her earlobes turned red.
He was so handsome, so charming, so powerful, and yet so lascivious...
The room was filled with spring feelings, and desire knows no bounds.
……
For how long it was, the room finally saw the end of the storm.
The demon lord held her and fell into a deep sleep. Yuyao's soul returned to her body in time.
She opened her eyes to find herself in the arms of the demon lord, her head resting on his arm.
He placed one large hand on her abdomen, which felt a bit heavy.
Yuyao glanced sideways at the man beside her, tracing his brows and eyes with her fingers.
She had to admit that the demon lord was indeed very handsome, almost faultlessly beautiful, with a charming and enchanting allure.
And yet, this man also possesses the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
It can be said that he is awe-inspiring, and no one dares to make him unhappy.
Yuyao knows that her actions would probably be worth 800 deaths for any other woman.
The reason why she is still alive is not because she serves him so well or is obedient to him.
It's because the demon lord didn't want to kill her in the first place and couldn't bring himself to do so.
It's just that he couldn't quell his anger and wanted to punish her.
The way to punish her is a bit special.
He actually wants her to...
Just thinking about it is embarrassing.
Yuyao gently moved the hand placed on her waist to the side.
She got up quietly, avoiding waking him up, and then went to wash her face.
