What appeared in front of everyone turned out to be an extremely lush spiritual grass field, and the leaves of the spiritual grass were so green that they were practically dripping with water.

If not for the fact that everyone clearly remembered the place being run down just a few days ago, they would have thought that Shao Ci was someone with a backing. RGdsfJ

The nephew of the person in charge rushed forward in disbelief, grabbed a stalk of spirit grass, and pulled it out to check. “How is this possible, impossible, this must be some sort of illusion! I don’t believe it!”

He didn’t believe in this kind of thing, how could the title of the mid-level servant that he was about to acquire be taken away.

But upon seeing the spirit grass, he had to admit, that everything he saw was real.

Others also looked at Shao Ci in astonishment. They couldn’t imagine how his achievements reached such an extent. Could it be that he planted and grew so much spirit grass that he became an expert? qUOsYL

But no one asked Shao Ci how he did it. After all, demon cultivators were the kind that didn’t care about the process as long as the results could be achieved.

Since Shao Ci was able to transform a withering field into what it is today, he could be considered capable.

There were five people in charge of the spirit fields, and the one Shao Ci had offended was surnamed, Zhang. He was originally a low-ranked servant. But because he was good at riding people’s coattails and he rode the coattails of several palace workers, he was able to climb into such a high position.

The other individuals in charge naturally avoided him. Outside, Zhang could be considered pretty influential, managing not only the spiritual fields but also many other things.

DnLaeA

As for the position of a middle-class servant, he had had long been optimistic that it would be given to his nephew. How could he let it be taken away? Hence he immediately said, “This spiritual grass field had only been allocated a few days ago. So it’s rational to say that the grass was not cultivated by this person. Hence, the results are invalid.”

Shao Ci: “!”

Then why didn’t you say that your nephew didn’t cultivate the spiritual field as well and hence got invalid results?!

The others looked like they had expected such an outcome. After all, as long as Zhang In Charge was still around, Shao Ci had no chance of getting promoted. Even if Shap Ci was able to achieve such a spectacular result with his spirit grass field, the results wouldn’t make a difference. du5OsT

But they didn’t completely despise Shao Ci anymore like before. Instead, they admired him a little.

Just as Zhang was about to announce the results, another person in charge walked forward. “In Charge Zhang, what you said was incorrect.”

In Charge Zhang didn’t expect anyone to refute him. He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked over. “In Charge Zhuang, what do you mean?”

In Charge Zhuang: “We don’t have any rules regarding invalid results due to a change in fields. As long as on the day of the selection he is in charge of caring for the field, the results belong to him. Unless In Charge Zhang forgot about it?” bhukvS

Of course, In Charge Zhang didn’t forget. He was just betting on no one pointing it out so that he could muddle through. His eyes immediately became a lot colder. He was extremely unhappy, but he didn’t want to get caught by Zhuang. Hence, he could only smile and say, “I was just wondering if I had forgotten something. So it turned out to be this. Thank you, In Charge Zhuang for the reminder.”

Even though he was extremely upset, he couldn’t break the rules. So he reluctantly selected Shao Ci as the person to be promoted.

After the results were announced, everyone had mixed reactions to the outcome. As for the nephew of the person in charge, he looked at Shao Ci with resentment, wishing to be able to just kill Shao Ci directly.

The majority of people remembered how they had previously ridiculed Shao Ci, and seeing Shao Ci now, for a moment they all wanted to strangle their past selves. CQ7lYM

However, they still comforted themselves with the fact that Shao Ci had offended In Charge Zhang, who would likely give him a hard time in the future, so they had nothing to be afraid of.

But a small number of people realized that Shao Ci might have a future, and immediately ran over to compliment Shao Ci. They all seemed to admire Shao Ci and spoke various words of praise.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shao Ci remembered how they had previously looked at him with disdain, and admired them a little. If it were him, he would be unable to act as shameless as they had.

After becoming a middle-class servant, the treatment he received became much better than before. Shao Ci directly moved into the mid leveled servants’ courtyard. MWAQp9

That’s right, mid-leveled servants had a special courtyard to live in. Inside, they even had a space especially for them to cultivate in. The treatment they received was much better than that of formal disciples from small sects.

More importantly, mid leveled servants also had the chance to attain the position of in charge. Of course, ever since Shao Ci had offended In Charge Zhang, he probably no longer had that option.

Shao Ci felt that things wouldn’t progress so smoothly. There was no chance that In Charge Zhang would watch his nephew’s position get taken away and not seek revenge. He would probably be thinking of ways to make things difficult for him.

Judging from the color of the sky outside, it was already noon. ZXoi1P

He had to see Si WuYue before sundown ah! He had worked so hard to accomplish what he had. If he were still unable to complete his task today, Shao Ci could just immediately vomit blood.

The job scope of a mid leveled servant was basically to manage the lower leveled servants, as well as to deliver items.

As delivering things gave one the chance to meet people of high status, and if their luck was good they would be able to hug the thighs of these people, many mid leveled servants would fight over the opportunity to do this job. As a new member who only recently got promoted, Shao Ci had no chance.

Even if he went to the peak of the mountain himself, the guards not only wouldn’t let him in, it would also give In Charge Zhang the opportunity to make things difficult for him. UKT9Se

Just as Shao Ci was feeling worried, an opportunity was presented to him.

All the mid-leveled servants gathered in the lobby, and standing at the front was In Charge Zhang.

“This is the information sent back from the secret realm, who is willing to send it.” In Charge Zhang took out a jade slip and placed it on the table in front of them.

Usually, a bunch of people would be fighting to do this kind of job. But today, no one dared to make a sound. Each and every one of the mid-leveled servants looked at the ground, not daring to speak. O61WdX

Everyone knew that all the demon cultivators who went to the secret realm had died. When the Demon Lord had woken up, they thought that a lot of people would get killed. Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and not a single person had died.

But that was in the past. If they were to send in this report now, won’t it just remind the Demon Lord of what had happened? It was impossible not to get killed by the Demon Lord on the spot.

Even if they could see the Demon Lord, so what? They couldn’t boast about it if they were dead.

Shao Ci was moved when he heard this, though he vaguely remembered that when he was just about to die, Ling WangChen seemed to have killed off all the demon cultivators within the secret realm. So sending this information was clearly a dangerous task. No wonder these people seemed to not want to go no matter what. McVRA3

Here comes the problem.

Should he choose to do the task, or choose to live on.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shao Ci suddenly felt miserable.

After In Charge Zhang asked this question, for a long time no one spoke. 5aeTpH

Having foreseen such a problem, he laughed and said, “It seems like everyone wants to give this opportunity to the newcomer.”

Everyone immediately understood that In Charge Zhang wanted to target Shao Ci and let out a sigh of relief. Promptly, they said, “That’s right, such a good opportunity must naturally be given to the newcomer.”

“Yes, we have no objection.”

“I’m already so old, it’s best to let the newcomer do this.” rZcjdN

These people were rejoicing at Shao Ci’s misfortune. On the surface, they appeared to look at Shao Ci with warmth, but in their hearts, they were thankful for the fact that the in-charge had a vendetta against Shao Ci, if not, they would have been in trouble. They didn’t spend so much effort to become a mid-class servant just to throw their life away. They weren’t even done enjoying life yet.

Seeing that Shao Ci has yet to speak, In Charge Zhang’s expression darkened. “What, unwilling? This is an opportunity others can’t get even if they begged for it. If not for the fact that you’re hardworking, as well as your status as a newcomer, you wouldn’t have gotten this chance.”

Everyone nodded their heads, with an expression that implied that what in charge Zhang had said made sense.

“If you’re unwilling, naturally there are a lot of other people who are willing.” Zhang added, “Except, those who can’t even accomplish such a simple task, can forget about their position as a mid leveled servant. 1LAWgK

It was almost a direct threat.

Since the situation had progressed to such a stage, it was difficult for Shao Ci to object against it. He needed to see Si WuYue by today no matter what anyways. Nothing else mattered. At most he could just die again.

“I’ll go.” Shao Ci replied.

In Charge Zhang immediately smiled. “You have to do this well. Maybe you could even capture the attention of the Lord. Your future will be bright after that.” aSy1sk

Shao Ci faked an enthusiastic expression and hurriedly nodded his head.

As for the rest, they looked at Shao Ci with pity. They knew that rather than having a bright future, not dying was his best possible outcome.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Who told Shao Ci to offend the person in charge? He had no one but himself to blame.

In charge Zhang then passed Shao Ci a jade talisman that allows him to enter formations as well as the jade slip. Shao Ci left under immense pressure. ROC3Ay

Not long after he exited the door, In Charge Zhuang went looking for Shao Ci.

He was the one who previously couldn’t bear to see Shao Ci in such a sorry state and suggested that they visit Shao Ci’s spirit grass field. It was also him who went against In Charge Zhang this morning and wanted Shao Ci to be promoted into a middle-class servant no matter what.

Shao Ci had a pretty good impression of Zhuang, and said, “In Charge Zhuang, is there a reason you came to find me?”

In charge Zhang was infatuated with spirit grass fields, so he had a very good impression of Shao Ci who was able to take such good care of spirit grass. He originally only felt that Shao Ci was not bad. But after seeing what he had seen today, he suddenly found his love for talented people, and couldn’t bear to see such a genius dying in this manner. tDa0kh

But towards the matter at hand, he was powerless. In Charge Zhuang could only sigh and tell Shao Ci, “In Charge Zhang is determined to kill you. Although I can’t really help you, if you want, I can send someone to send you straight out. Although life out there isn’t as stable as it is here.”

At least you’d be able to stay alive.

Shao Ci was shocked. “Why are you so good to me, wasn’t I just a low-leveled servant in the past?”

The demon world actually had such nice people. For a while, Shao Ci felt like his three views had been shattered. UpMYP4

“This old man has no family and lives alone, if I die I die.” In Charge Zhuang let out a sigh. “You have a talent for spirit grass… No, you’re the most talented person this old man has ever met, plus you’re still so young, you still have a chance to grow. I will feel uncomfortable if I just let you die like this.”

Shao Ci felt touched and somewhat embarrassed at the same time. After all, the methods he used to handle the spirit grass were simple and crude. “It’s alright, I’ll definitely be able to survive, don’t worry about it.”

In Charge Zhuang glanced at Shao Ci in surprise, then said “Since you have already decided, this old man will not say anything, hah.”

He sighed, and as if he couldn’t bear to look at Shao Ci again, he turned around and left. umxHgk

As for Shao Ci, he continued to make his way up the mountain.

On this path, no one was allowed to fly no matter who they were, or it would be seen as disrespectful towards the demon lord. Hence, everyone could only walk-up.

Shao Ci was only a qi condensation stage cultivator who couldn’t fly anyways, so it made no difference to him whether he could fly or not. After concentrating spiritual energy at his feet, his walking speed became much faster, and he quickly reached his destination.

There were countless formations outside the palace. Only after placing the jade talisman on his body was Shao Ci able to walk in safely. Mn9q6L

In fact, if not for the strict regulations regarding this, all in charge Zhang needed to do was sabotage the jade slip and Shao Ci would have died long ago.

Demon cultivators guarded the outside of the palace. Upon learning of Shao Ci’s purpose for visiting, a guard escorted Shao Ci towards the palace.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Shao Ci was honestly concerned about being killed by Si WuYue upon entering. Hence he cautiously asked the guard, “Sir, what has the demon lord’s mood been like lately.”

The guard almost couldn’t bear to look at Shao Ci. “The demon lord’s thoughts aren’t something we can speculate. But this time… you should prepare yourself in advance.” d LHZ4

Shao Ci: “……” It seems like the situation was really bad.

How is it possible to get along with Si WuYue when he was the kind of person to dig your heart out on sight?

As for the upper leveled servants who he passed by on his way up, they all looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person. They didn’t say a single word, clearly too lazy to talk to a soon-to-be-dead person. Furthermore, they never saw themselves as servants, so there was a world of difference between them and someone like Shao Ci.

An upper leveled servant glanced at Shao Ci with a strange look on his face. He was someone In Charge Zhang kissed up to, and this time, In Charge Zhang had spent a lot of gold in order to enlist his help in ensuring that Shao Ci dies inside the palace. 8fmUt4

He immediately walked up, greeted the guards with great enthusiasm, and said that he could take Shao Ci up to the destination.

The guard nodded and immediately left.

The servant then loftily asked Shao Ci what he was planning to do there.

Shao Ci didn’t know what he was going to do, so he told the truth. He didn’t have anything to hide anyways. M9bZpu

The other party immediately looked bored.

He was nothing but a low leveled servant. For In Charge Zhang to spend so much effort in trying to kill him was simply embarrassing. If not for In Charge Zhang’s usual filial piety towards him, he wouldn’t have cared if the other party lived or died.

The upper leveled servant then said, “You can go find the demon lord now. The Demon Lord likes people who know how to talk the most. You have to work hard, if you speak well enough you might even get the Demon Lord’s appreciation.”

His attitude became much more cordial as he said this. H1qpJe

Shao Ci immediately nodded and showed a grateful expression. But in his heart, he knew that something wasn’t right. This person didn’t look like a good person, so there was definitely something wrong with what he said.

When the other upped-leveled servants heard this, they pretended as if they haven’t heard anything at all.

These middle-leveled servants were potentially competition anyways. The more dead the better.

In the beginning, they had thought that the demon lord who appeared gentle and shy would be someone easy to get along with, so many people developed the intention to try and seduce the other party. Because as long as they succeed, their status would become much higher than the rest. vLqixt

Although they had heard a lot of rumors in regards to what the other party has done, no one took it seriously. But the Demon Lord was someone completely different from what they had imagined. The other party was several times more terrifying than the previous demon lord.

At least when the previous Demon Lord got angry they had ways to handle the situation. As for this Demon Lord, some people had personally witnessed countless people getting killed by this Demon Lord who looked gentle when he smiled, just for saying the wrong thing.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

And he didn’t even let the other party die immediately. Instead, he would use a spell to forcefully torture the other party to death. All kinds of cruel methods were used to the point where even demon cultivators couldn’t bear to see it.

After several people were killed, everyone learned to behave and didn’t dare to casually approach the Demon Lord at all. sGSV 0

But even this wasn’t enough. The Demon Lord had an extremely elusive personality. No one knew when he was happy or unhappy.

In addition, he loved torturing people whenever he was happy and loved torturing people when he was unhappy as well.

In short, just being able to stay alive in the presence of the Demon Lord was already a good thing.

But they felt aggrieved and didn’t want others to live comfortably, especially those middle leveled servants whose lives were more comfortable than theirs. What right do they have when they were merely just servants. DmyrTF

Shao Ci was thus taken to the entrance of a large hall under the disdainful watch of those people.

It was still daytime, yet when he stood at the entrance of the hall the atmosphere felt spine-chilling, to the point where it made people get goosebumps. And when he raised his head to look, the door was wide open, but the interior couldn’t be seen, and he could feel the wind blowing out of the place.

Shao Ci was terrified. With Si WuYue’s identity as the god of the underworld, it wasn’t impossible to find the place to be full of ghosts when he walks in.

He suddenly felt respect for those people who usually served Si WuYue. Every one of them must have been trained into having an extremely strong heart. N1A8Tp

Shao Ci thought about how he had stabbed Si WuYue before, and about how after that all of Si WuYue’s subordinates who were in the secret realm got killed because of him. He was in a situation where he would be killed when he gets recognized and killed even if he doesn’t.

As Shao Ci was in a dilemma, the upper leveled servant behind him became stern when he saw that, and said in a cold voice, “The Demon Lord is currently waiting, what are you doing just standing at the door?”

The others stared at him with eyes full of contempt, and even a few people whispered, “To be so timid and still want to serve the Demon Lord? What a joke.”

Shao Ci thought about how short suffering was better than a prolonged one. Since he had already reached such a stage, there was nothing to be afraid of. Dying was the worst that could happen. BUyzKw

So Shao Ci bit the bullet, took a deep breath, and with the jade slip, walked into the hall.

The moment he entered the hall, everything in the outside world seemed to be isolated outside. Extremely cold air rushed towards him and Shao Ci instantly felt like his body temperature had dropped by half.

What was most terrifying was the fact that floating in the air was faint blue ghost-fire-like light.

On the floor, weird-looking patterns glowed. Only upon close inspection did he realize that those were formations. WKfgoH

The path seemed to be endless. Shao Ci walked for a long time before he saw someone sitting on the throne not far away.

Si WuYue’s skin was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his delicate appearance looked even more seductive under the surrounding light. He sat upright on the throne, holding a blood-red heart in his hands, and had a gentle smile on his face, as if he were looking at his lover.

The scene appeared extremely strange. Shao Ci stood in place not sure if he should walk over, feeling like the atmosphere opposite him wasn’t something outsiders could simply disturb.

Of course, Shao Ci didn’t recognize that the heart was his own. PZ0Wf7

“Come over.” Si WuYue’s voice sounded.

Shao Ci could only bite the bullet, walked over trembling, and then half kneeled on in front of Si WuYue as he presented the jade slip.

The other party’s slender fingers took the jade slip.

It’s great that he wasn’t killed directly. Shao Ci immediately recalled today’s daily tasks in his mind. AiCatE

Today’s daily task requirement was that he had to praise the capture target three times.

Damn. This was supposed to be a simple task, yet Shao Ci immediately felt unwell.

The feeling he got from Si WuYue was that if he said anything he would get into a lot of trouble. And he still had to paise him three times. If he could, Shao Ci wouldn’t even say a word.

“This is the first time I’ve seen you.” Si WuYue’s voice sounded again. As if he were talking to someone he was familiar with, his voice was extremely gentle. “Are you scared? Your body is shaking.” QU97DG

Shao Ci quickly raised his head and said, “No, It’s just that this is my first time seeing Demon Lord at such a close distance, so I got too excited…”

“Oh?”

“After all, Demon Lord is so powerful, so handsome and considerate of everyone. Naturally, I admire Demon Lord very much.” Shao Ci praised him three times in one breath and finally felt relieved.

Shao Ci admired himself for being able to finish the daily task in one breath. BiuQZ4

“You say you admire me?” Si WuYue gently caressed the heart in his arms while smiling and looking at Shao Ci.

“That’s right, I think that with you, the demon world would become a lot more prosperous in the future!”

Bullshit. With Si WuYue as the demon lord, the demon world would be lucky just to not get tortured by him.

Shao Ci was about to break into a cold sweat. Thankfully he had a system plug-in, or he would have been seen through by the other party because of his facial expression. 58fEe3

“I didn’t think that others would have such an impression of me, I’m quite happy.” Si WuYue said slowly, reaching out his hand to lift Shao Ci’s chin.

The feeling of getting touched by ice-cold fingers immediately gave Shao Ci the impulse to start struggling, but he forcefully held himself back, and even forced out an excited and blushing expression with shining eyes, looking as if he were a die-hard fan of Si WuYue.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Si WuYue’s face all of a sudden got close to his. The proximity caused Shao Ci to subconsciously hold his breath.

“You have beautiful eyes.” wa3gG8

Damn, he doesn’t want to dig his eyes out, does he?

Shao Ci: “Thanks, Thanks for the compliment.”

Si WuYue didn’t do anything to Shao Ci’s eyes. Instead, he changed the topic. “You do know that by coming here this time, there’s a risk of being killed by me.

Shao Ci: “Yes, yes…” PJrnLX

“And despite that, you still want to see me?” Si WuYue smiled, looking as if he was just asking casually.

Shao Ci’s heart clenched. He knew that this was an important question where he would be killed if he didn’t answer properly.

“That’s right!” Shao Ci, with the expression of an excited die-hard fan, said, “As long as I get to see you, I’m willing to do anything. Even if I die because of this I’ll be very happy as well!”

Anyways no matter what happens let’s just praise him first. Even if Si WuYue wanted him to die, Shao Ci would have to do it. ORU QZ

Si WuYue released his grip, rested his face on his hand, and said: “Is that so, but you’re just a middle leveled servant aren’t you.”

“En.” Shao Ci nodded.

“If that’s the case, won’t you be unable to die for me?” Si WuYue asked.

Shao Ci: “This…” h3xOMA

“Do you want to stay by my side?” Si WuYue smiled again and said, “As long as you can become an upper-class servant you’ll be able to stay by my side every day, what do you think?”

Shao Ci couldn’t even stand being in Si WuYue’s presence for a short period of time. If he still had to interact with him every day, Shao Ci felt that he might go crazy.

Shao Ci immediately responded, “But, I’m still lacking in several areas. I’m not qualified at all to become an upper-class servant.”

“But didn’t you say that you want to stay by my side?” Si WuYue’s expression immediately became cold. “Unless what you said just now was a lie?” 4nQOGR

Shao Ci’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly racked his brains and said, “No, it’s not like this. I really do want to stay by your side. It’s just that the requirement for being an upper-class servant is to at least have a cultivation at the foundation building stage, while I’m only at the Qi condensation stage. I’m afraid the others wouldn’t be convinced”

“That’s true.” Si WuYue looked casual about it. “In that case, I should give this matter some thought.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shao Ci let out a sigh of relief. This is simply too dangerous. He felt like a single wrong reply was going to get him killed by Si WuYue.

“I’ll help you.” Si WuYue smiled. muU9Qe

“? !” Shao Ci looked at him, shocked.

“I can guide you and let you enter the foundation building stage.” Si WuYue added, “Then, you become my servant. How about that?”

What the hell was Si WuYue thinking?!

“? !” Shao Ci was scared to death, but still needed to act surprised, and said, “How, how can that be possible, with your identity…” 6vedZC

“All that matters is that I’m happy.” Si WuYue smiled. “How about you? Are you willing?”

It wasn’t like Shao Ci had any other options. If he dared to reject Si WuYue he was as good as dead.

Plus Si WuYue’s request was more beneficial towards him. With this, he would be able to accomplish his daily tasks.

“It’s all up to you.” Shao Ci said. Tj52qN

“Very good.” Si WuYue took out a token and handed it to Shao Ci. “With this token, you’ll be able to teleport directly into the palace. Just find me every day when the token lights up.”

Even till walking out of the hall, Shao Ci still had yet to fully digest the contents of what had happened.

What is wrong with this world. Si WuYue not only didn’t immediately kill him off, but he also offered to guide him in his cultivation and even gave him a magic treasure for teleportation.

Was there really such a good thing as a meat pie falling from the sky in this world? Something felt wrong no matter how he thought about it. laviKc

Shao Ci almost thought that he had just been dreaming.

Seeing Shao Ci walk out safe and sound, the high-leveled servants outside the door were surprised. They had thought that they would be seeing Shao Ci being cruelly tortured to death. No one thought that he would make it out alive.

Could it be that even though this person doesn’t seem like much, he was very skilled and had amazing eloquence, so he was able to get into the Lord’s good graces?

Immediately someone came over to ask about what had happened. LMfr3Q

Although Si WuYue didn’t ask Shao Ci to keep what had happened a secret, Shao Ci wasn’t stupid enough to reveal those details. So he mumbled, “The Lord appeared to be in a good mood, he didn’t seem to care.”

The others immediately lost interest. It seems like Shao Ci had just gotten lucky, and wasn’t anything special at all.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

After Shao Ci returned down the mountain, the expressions the other middle-class servants showed were even more brilliant.

When In Charge Zhang saw Shao Ci, his eyes looked like they were going to pop out. He couldn’t understand how Shao Ci survived such a suicidal task. l6Av7I

Towards these peoples’ inquiries, Shao Ci gave the same answer as before and expressed that he was merely lucky.

The others naturally believed him, as they were thinking of something along those lines as well. They couldn’t imagine the Lord looking at this weak chicken in a different manner, and all felt regretful. Had they known earlier that the Demon Lord was in a good mood, they would have immediately gone instead of letting a newcomer like Shao Ci get such an opportunity.

If Shao Ci had told the truth, the others would have likely thought that Shao Ci had gone insane.

In Charge Zhang even more so couldn’t imagine that Shao Ci would have gotten so lucky. He felt extremely resentful. If his nephew had become a middle leveled servant, the person to show up in front of the Demon Lord would have been his nephew. 65IEO8

In Charge Zhang didn’t even consider the fact that if his nephew became a mid-leveled servant, he would have sent someone else on the suicide mission as well.

——

In the palace on the mountain peak.

After Shao Ci left, Si WuYue showed a meaningful expression and pressed the jade slip against his forehead. KhHPd9

Inside this jade slip contained information from someone he had not long ago sent into the secret realm. The report clearly stated that on the day of the incident that happened before, not a single person was left alive in the second layer of the secret realm.

Si WuYue looked down.

On the spot that Shao Ci had kneeled on, the formation flashed with a dark red light.

“You still came to me.” lTS2fQ

He gently stroked the heart in his hands, as if he were touching his lover.

“Since you’re unwilling to reveal your real identity… it’s fine, I’ll just play along.”

“I’ll play along until you get sick of it. When that happens, you will completely become my property.”
