Category: Female Lead Was Coaxed Away by the Villain Again [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 98: You Can Only Like Me (24)

The Wei family issued a bounty for Wei Jingqian, claiming he had defected to the Demon Realm. However, no one paid attention, and many didn’t even see it as a problem. After all this time, the lines between demon cultivators and human cultivators were blurring, and faced with the broken cycle of reincarnation, everything else seemed trivial.

Jiang Zhiyan hadn’t shown herself since that one appearance in the mortal realm.

If it weren’t for the occasional missions she assigned, they would have suspected she had already ascended and left this world.

The most furious person about not being able to find Jiang Zhiyan was the Demon Lord. Jiang Zhiyan had promised to fight him properly after he completed his task, and now she was nowhere to be found!

He had even dealt with that guy who stole his heart for the sake of their duel, and to avoid causing trouble for Jiang Zhiyan, he stayed in the cultivation world and had a meal, enduring their useless gratitude.

And in the end, Jiang Zhiyan disappeared?

He wanted to cause a commotion to lure Jiang Zhiyan out, but every time he tried, he was suppressed by a mysterious force, he knew it was most likely the new Heavenly Dao.

“It seems the new Heavenly Dao is also unfair.” The Demon Lord was in a bad mood, glancing at the four Demon Kings sitting at the table. “Do you really not know where she is?”

All four shook their heads simultaneously.

“My Lord has indeed been absent for a long time,” Zhao Xiting sighed. “I’ve already built the Demon God Temple, I wonder if My Lord will receive any incense offerings.”

“You built a Demon God Temple without telling us?” Zhao Xun said with dissatisfaction.

The Demon Lord had originally called these four here to help him find Jiang Zhiyan, but unexpectedly, the topic shifted to the Demon God Temple in less than two minutes. Why hadn’t any demon offered to build a temple for him back then?

He couldn’t continue this conversation any longer; he was about to vomit from disgust.

“Inform me if she appears,” the Demon Lord said, slamming the table, interrupting their conversation, standing up, and glancing at the four of them. “You are too weak as Demon Kings, come and spar with me, let me help you improve.”

The four exchanged glances, knowing full well that the Demon Lord was just looking for someone to vent his anger on, but all their tasks were complete, they couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

…

Jiang Zhiyan and Song Jin’yue were traveling in Moon City, one of the ten most famous cities in the cultivation world. This was their last date before leaving.

“Last date? This last date of yours is quite long,” the System said, not understanding, weren’t these two tired of being together all the time?

Sometimes they would do nothing for a whole afternoon, just lie by the lake and bask in the sun, barely even talking, even it, an AI, found it boring.

“Clearly, you’ve never been in love, being with the person you love, even doing nothing, makes you happy,” Jiang Zhiyan said, looking at Song Jin’yue, taking her hand, and giving it a squeeze. “Xie Liaoyi.”

“Hm?” She turned around and looked at Jiang Zhiyan. “Why are you suddenly calling me by my full name?”

Jiang Zhiyan rolled into Song Jin’yue’s arms: “Did you do something bad? I was just calling your name.”

She kissed Song Jin’yue’s chin: “I hope you’ll be less troublesome in the next world.”

“I’ll try,” Song Jin’yue said, hugging Jiang Zhiyan’s waist, burying her face in her chest, and yawning. “I’m sleepy.”

“I bought a boat,” Jiang Zhiyan nibbled on Song Jin’yue’s ear. “We’ll sail down the river, and when we reach the end, we’ll go back.”

“Okay,” Song Jin’yue replied.

When the world consciousness regained control, the skies of the three realms were filled with brilliant clouds, and majestic music seemed to drift from the horizon. The plot didn’t have such a setting, but to appear more imposing, the world consciousness had put in a lot of effort to create its entrance animation.

And at this moment, Jiang Zhiyan’s divinity was also solidifying, with the new Heavenly Dao in place, she gained another batch of believers, in just a few short months, she had temples everywhere, most of them in the mortal realm.

She didn’t really care about the temples, the problem was that Jiang Zhiyan could hear what the believers were saying inside the temples, and she couldn’t block it, from morning till night, constantly, people were chanting.

She suspected someone was deliberately taking revenge on her, and this made Jiang Zhiyan even more eager to leave, how could she go on dates with a third person constantly talking?

She figured that person was probably the world consciousness, because when Jiang Zhiyan tried to contact it, it started playing dead.

The world consciousness didn’t have any malicious intent; it just couldn’t stand watching the two being lovey-dovey and wanted them to leave quickly, these two were too brazen.

Jiang Zhiyan found a suitable time to ascend to godhood, reopened the Divine Realm, and then left in front of the three realms.

Demon Lord: ???

“You’ve become a god, and you’re still going back on your word?” The Demon Lord flew towards the gates of the Divine Realm.

Jiang Zhiyan turned around and sent him flying with a palm strike: “I won.”

The four Demon Kings looked at the Demon Lord, who was struggling to climb out of the ground, in silence. They thought he would be angry, but after a few seconds of silence, he actually laughed heartily, seemingly in a good mood.

Su Huo distanced herself from the five of them, as expected, no one in the Demon Realm was normal, she glanced at Wei Jingqian not far away and shook her head, suddenly unsure who was more pitiful, the Demon Lord who had just been struck by a palm, or Wei Jingqian who had been searching for someone for so long but couldn’t find her.

***

Jiang Zhiyan lay on the bed, rubbed her head, put the soul fragment in a jar beside her, and sighed softly: “I hope in the next world, as soon as I arrive, she’ll call out my name, rush over, and kiss me.”

The corners of Jiang Zhiyan’s mouth turned up slightly, just thinking about it made her happy.

“In your dreams,” the System commented. “Host, you never used to dream.”

Jiang Zhiyan looked at the jar beside her: “What if? We should always have hope.”

“Host, why don’t you rest? She’s still there, she can’t run away.”

“I don’t need to rest,” Jiang Zhiyan closed her eyes and kissed the jar in her hand. “Next world.”

The System, looking at Jiang Zhiyan, silently prayed: “Let her have a smooth journey, it’s not good for anyone if she’s pushed too far and goes crazy.”

“Host, be prepared,” the System reminded her.

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan responded.

Jiang Zhiyan closed her eyes, her heart pounding.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside a building, the outside was in chaos, many people screaming and fleeing, she sighed: “Here we go again.”

She received the information about this world and raised an eyebrow.

“I like this character setting,” Jiang Zhiyan smiled slightly.

The System, looking at her expression, wanted to shout “pervert.”

This was an ABO interstellar world. The female lead, Yu Qici, was the eldest daughter of the Yu family, an S-rank Omega, highly intelligent, capable, a perfect character with no weaknesses, even the most nitpicky critics couldn’t find fault with her.

Jiang Zhiyan in this world was a defective Alpha, without the organs that developed after differentiation. She had pheromones, but they had no effect on other Alphas, nor did they attract Omegas, having pheromones was the same as not having them.

Because of her defect, she was originally the most likely heir to the Jiang family, but after differentiation, she immediately lost her eligibility. She fell from grace, many people kicked her while she was down, mocking and ridiculing her, and her treatment at home plummeted. She gradually turned villainous, eventually becoming the final boss.

She was originally Yu Qici’s fiancée, but because of her defect, the Yu family forcefully broke off the engagement and started looking for other partners for Yu Qici, which angered the Jiang family, who clearly looked down on the other members of the Jiang family.

Because of this, after turning villainous, the original owner found an opportunity to imprison Yu Qici. The subsequent plot points, like the female lead saving herself or the male lead rescuing the female lead, weren’t important to Jiang Zhiyan.

“It’s her favorite little dark room,” Jiang Zhiyan said, taking two steps back and sitting down on the sofa, a constant smile on her face.

At the beginning of the plot, the original owner had already become a villain, after all, she wasn’t the protagonist, so her complete growth trajectory wasn’t important. The current plot was that she had collaborated with space pirates and obtained a batch of new mechs. She wanted to destroy the Jiang family’s current core industry. The chaos outside was also related to her, so she didn’t have to flee, she just needed to rest and prepare to return to the imperial star.

The original owner was currently the general manager of a Jiang family subsidiary, her social status seemingly decent, but it was a dead-end position, with little chance of promotion, practically a retirement position. In this society, even with great ability, if you followed the normal path, you were still no match for differentiation rank.

She flipped through the plot, the day after tomorrow she had to return to the Jiang family to attend the 180th birthday celebration of the previous family head. At the banquet, she would arrange for everyone to watch a live broadcast of the destruction of the Jiang family’s factory in District 29.

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Jiang Zhiyan looked at the time, finished the water on the table, and looked at the assistant standing not far away: “Let’s go, back to the imperial star… mm, drop me off in District 6, I’ll go back myself.”

“Yes,” the assistant nodded, not surprised at all.

The original owner frequently visited District 6, where Yu Qici attended school. The original owner liked her very much, and before their engagement was broken off, she visited almost every week, but Yu Qici was always indifferent towards her. Yu Qici wasn’t interested in marriage, and she didn’t have the ability to break away from her family yet, so she let them arrange everything, delaying as much as possible.

Jiang Zhiyan flew a small spaceship to the entrance of Yu Qici’s school and checked the time. At this time every day, Yu Qici would leave school and buy a drink from the small store at the school gate, and today was no different.

There was someone with her, the young master of the Lian family.

“Host, calm down,” the System warned. “If you do anything in District 6, you’ll be surrounded by android guards in a second.”

Jiang Zhiyan snapped back to her senses, looked at the energy gun in her hand, which was already accumulating energy, and released her grip, tossing it aside.

“How are the preparations for my little dark room coming along?” Jiang Zhiyan opened the window and made eye contact with Yu Qici not far away.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like Yu Qici had smirked at her, but when she looked again, she hadn’t.

Chapter 97: You Can Only Like Me (23)

The people in the cultivation world looked up at the figure in the sky, no one spoke for a moment.

“Is that the Demon Lord?”

“He seems different from the rumors?”

“It is the Demon Lord, I saw him when I reinforced the seal,” the ancestor of the Wanfa Sect said, chuckling. “This is probably her idea.”

“So is what he said true or false?”

No one offered a definite opinion.

The sudden phenomenon in the sky was unsettling; they were worried about unexpected changes, but besides a sense of oppression, there were no other issues.

“The disciples are filled with doubts, if we delay any longer, they might develop inner demons, we should make a decision soon and present a united front.”

“What about the Wei family? They didn’t come today.”

“No need to worry about them, they knew Jiang Zhiyan’s identity but never said anything, which means… they must have some plan in mind.”

…

Jiang Zhiyan held Song Jin’yue’s legs, taking in her breaths. Song Jin’yue reached for her clothes, only to find they had been burned away at some point. She sighed softly.

“I don’t have any clothes left,” Song Jin’yue said.

“I do, it’s fine,” Jiang Zhiyan released Song Jin’yue, nuzzled her nose with hers, and said, “Let’s dual cultivate.”

Hearing the words “dual cultivate,” the System immediately muted them.

It checked the situation in the three realms and figured that Jiang Zhiyan and Xie Liaoyi were probably the only ones happy right now, those tasked by Jiang Zhiyan were all running around like headless chickens, and many people in the cultivation world were trying to contact Jiang Zhiyan, but couldn’t reach her.

It realized it hadn’t seen Wei Jingqian for a long time and asked the world consciousness about him.

“He won’t die,” the world consciousness said coldly.

System: ?

“Huh?” The system felt that Wei Jingqian’s situation must be very bad, it felt like the world consciousness was also slacking off, which made sense, considering it was about to be devoured, who would care about the male lead’s well-being, as long as he was alive, it was fine.

Alive, that was Jiang Zhiyan’s only requirement for the male lead when doing missions.

Now the world consciousness was also like this.

The System was still curious about Wei Jingqian’s situation and discreetly took a look, then froze.

Wei Jingqian was surrounded by the Wei family, as if he was being interrogated, everyone’s expressions were unpleasant, and even Wei Jingqian, whose emotions were usually unreadable, looked troubled.

It listened for a while and realized that the Wei family wanted to carry out some plan against Jiang Zhiyan and have Wei Jingqian call her out, supposedly to talk, of course, this was just an excuse to deceive Wei Jingqian.

Wei Jingqian wasn’t very cooperative, not because he had a good relationship with Jiang Zhiyan, but purely because what the Wei family wanted him to do went against his Dao Heart.

“She’s already a demigod, you can’t hide your actions from her, and she won’t come out,” Wei Jingqian said. “Instead of scheming, you should focus on cultivating.”

“Wei Jingqian! You’ve grown wings, haven’t you? We are your elders, how dare you speak to us like that? Everything you have, the Wei family provided it!”

Wei Jingqian sat there expressionlessly, showing no guilt or other emotions, and didn’t bother arguing.

“You’re asking for it!” The Wei Family Head raised his hand, his expression pained, but his attack showed no restraint.

The System almost screamed. A beam of light pierced through the Wei Family Head’s chest, shattering his heart meridian.

Although the beam of light didn’t have a name on it, its intuition told it that it was most likely Jiang Zhiyan’s doing.

Blood splattered on the surrounding people, who, caught off guard, initially thought it was Wei Jingqian’s blood. They didn’t expect the person who fell to be the Wei Family Head.

Wei Jingqian was also shocked, looking down at the lingering light on his body.

“What happened…”

“Wei Jingqian! That’s your father!”

Curses mixed together. An elder checked the Wei Family Head’s condition, frowned, and shook his head: “He’s dead, his Nascent Soul is also gone, this isn’t something he could do, are you in contact with Jiang Zhiyan?”

Wei Jingqian wiped the blood from his face: “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know? That’s your father! Wei Jingqian, are you a monster?”

“What a disgrace to our family! What a disgrace!”

They cursed, but no one dared to attack, after all, the Wei Family Head had just died here.

The System sighed softly, unable to discern Wei Jingqian’s current emotions, his expression, besides the initial shock, was completely calm.

Wei Jingqian left directly, no one dared to stop him.

The System looked at his trajectory and direction, it felt like he was heading towards the Demon Realm.

“His Dao Heart is unstable,” the world consciousness said.

“Is he going to kill Jiang Zhiyan?” the System asked worriedly.

“Who cares why he’s coming, he can’t defeat her anyway, and he probably won’t even be able to find her.”

“You have a point, how are things on your end?”

“Almost there, almost there.”

“You said that yesterday too,” the System complained.

…

When Jiang Zhiyan and Song Jin’yue came out, the volcano wasn’t even smoking anymore, this cultivation sanctuary was completely ruined.

The effects of dual cultivation were remarkable, Song Jin’yue directly reached Nascent Soul, and because the Heavenly Dao was currently preoccupied, there wasn’t even a heavenly tribulation.

Song Jin’yue put on the clothes Jiang Zhiyan prepared for her and glanced at her: “I prefer the Demon Realm style clothing.”

“I’ll prepare some for you when we get back,” Jiang Zhiyan said, taking out her communication jade and looking at the recent mission reports, besides the Demon Lord being embarrassed and going into seclusion, everything was proceeding according to her plan.

The cultivation world had taken the initiative to propose cooperation, but besides cooperating, they also had some other schemes in motion, as she expected. They weren’t harmful, so she didn’t bother interfering, after all, the person in the cultivation world who had consumed half of the Demon Lord’s heart was still putting pressure on them. That person seemed to be delusional about ruling the cultivation world, he wasn’t difficult to deal with, once the Demon Lord adjusted his mentality, he would probably go and retrieve his heart.

The world consciousness had already started rebuilding the cycle of reincarnation, and it clearly had the upper hand in its struggle against the Heavenly Dao. Once the cycle of reincarnation was rebuilt, Jiang Zhiyan could find an opportunity to leave.

“Are you reassured now?” Jiang Zhiyan took Song Jin’yue to the mortal realm and showed her the separated humans and spirits. “Once the world consciousness rebuilds the cycle of reincarnation, they can be reborn.”

“I feel a bit better,” Song Jin’yue nodded.

Jiang Zhiyan glanced at Song Jin’yue, who cupped her face and kissed her: “Thank you.”

She knew Jiang Zhiyan did all this just to reassure her.

“Tsk tsk tsk, I was wondering why I couldn’t contact you,” Su Huo said, looking at the two. “So you were on a date, even kissing, I saw everything, you dual cultivated, the effects seem quite good.”

She had been enjoying herself, but because they were short-handed, she had also been called to help, she wasn’t very willing, but Zhao Xiting refused to pay for her expenses, without money, she could only work. After arriving here, she hadn’t rested for half a month, working from morning till night, she was a cultivator, but she couldn’t keep working like this.

“What nonsense, it’s obvious My Lord was attending to important matters, My Lord, are you here to observe the situation in the mortal realm? I can show you around,” Zhao Xun said, looking at Jiang Zhiyan with a smile.

Su Huo looked at Zhao Xun, puzzled, had this person also been corrupted by Zhao Xiting? Why were they all so subservient? Zhao Xun pretended not to see her disdainful gaze.

“No need, we can look around ourselves, haven’t you encountered any problems recently?” Jiang Zhiyan asked.

“Everything is normal, everyone is cooperating with us, and the people in the cultivation world know the gravity of the situation and haven’t caused any trouble,” Zhao Xun glanced at a certain direction.

Jiang Zhiyan looked over, they were all disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect, her former fellow disciples, they looked at her with awe.

“With everyone working together, things will return to normal soon,” Jiang Zhiyan said casually, wanting to leave.

The people around her nodded, and a demon cultivator shouted “Well said, My Lord,” and started clapping, the others followed suit.

The easily embarrassed System silently muted the sound.

Jiang Zhiyan pulled Song Jin’yue away, the crowd was getting larger and larger, she just wanted to go on a date with Song Jin’yue! Not to work!

Her divine power had indeed increased significantly, but it didn’t matter to her, since she was about to leave.

Jiang Zhiyan nodded towards the crowd and disappeared with Song Jin’yue.

“As expected, it’s better to keep a low profile when going out.”

Song Jin’yue ruffled Jiang Zhiyan’s hair: “It’s fine, seeing you so popular makes me happy too.”

“Oh, right, Host, I forgot to tell you something, Wei Jingqian is looking for you, he’s been looking for you for a long time,” the System said, it had been meaning to tell Jiang Zhiyan, but kept forgetting, it only remembered now after seeing the people from the Myriad Swords Sect.

It had seen him searching every city in the Demon Realm these past few days, he would probably come to the Demon Realm this time.

“Oh, let him look, what does it have to do with me?” Jiang Zhiyan didn’t plan on seeing him, she didn’t want to explain, and she had no obligation to, he could believe whatever he wanted.

Hearing Wei Jingqian’s name again, Jiang Zhiyan looked at Song Jin’yue sourly: “Do you really like Wei Jingqian that much?”

“Huh? Who?” Song Jin’yue was stunned for a second. “It was Song Jin’yue who liked him, what does it have to do with Xie Liaoyi? I was following the plot, it wasn’t my own feelings, and… I don’t think I liked him that much either, there was just a program making me do those things.”

“If it weren’t for the missing soul fragment, I think I would have awakened very quickly in this world,” Song Jin’yue said, rubbing Jiang Zhiyan’s face. “Wei Jingqian tried to give me something before, but I didn’t accept it.”

“You still remember!” Jiang Zhiyan exclaimed, quite dissatisfied, jumping up and down. “Look, look, you still remember him giving you a gift.”

“I remember because I want to exchange it for a kiss. I didn’t have anything on me, I didn’t take anything from him, I was all alone, risking everything to come to the Demon Realm to find you, this proves that I love you.” Song Jin’yue pressed Jiang Zhiyan’s shoulders, jumped onto her, wrapped her legs around her waist, and covered her mouth. “I don’t care about him at all, if you really mind, I can kill him? As long as we run away fast enough…”

System: ???

“Forget it,” Jiang Zhiyan looked at Song Jin’yue. “I want every second of your time to be with me, don’t give him a single second, even if it means taking his life, and seeing you like this, it’s best not to take any risks.”

Song Jin’yue released her hand and bit Jiang Zhiyan’s lip, gently grinding her teeth.

Chapter 96: You Can Only Like Me (22)

“Who are you?” The Demon Lord stood up, looking at Jiang Zhiyan. “The new Demon Lord?”

“I am the Demon God.” Jiang Zhiyan, seeing his expression, knew he hadn’t taken her other pronouncements seriously, so she emphasized it again. It was their first interaction, and she didn’t want to resort to violence yet. “Ask the Western Demon King about the other matters, I have things to do.”

“Demon God?” The Demon Lord’s eyes lit up with interest.

Jiang Zhiyan wasn’t surprised; the Demon Lord’s greatest interest was killing those stronger than him, he would definitely be interested in god slaying.

The Demon Lord attacked, a killing blow, but before he got close, Jiang Zhiyan sent him flying into the wall with a single palm strike. He coughed up blood, but wasn’t angry at all, his gaze filled with even more excitement.

“Our common enemy this time is the Heavenly Dao,” Jiang Zhiyan said, looking at the seemingly unstable Demon Lord. “After this is over, I’m willing to accept your challenge.”

“Heavenly Dao?” The Demon Lord’s expression faltered, as if he was deep in thought.

Jiang Zhiyan, seeing that she had successfully diverted his attention, turned and left, not wanting to get entangled with him further, with the world consciousness keeping an eye on him, he couldn’t do anything for now.

After Jiang Zhiyan left, the Demon Lord picked up the speech from the ground, looked at the content, and frowned. The content had nothing to do with his style. He suddenly recalled Jiang Zhiyan mentioning “vulnerability” and frowned again.

It would be better to just fight the Heavenly Dao directly, even if he died, it wouldn’t matter.

“Heavenly Dao…” the Demon Lord muttered to himself. He originally wanted to casually grab someone and ask about the current situation, but after thinking for a few seconds, he picked up the communication jade beside him and contacted that “Demon King.”

Zhao Xiting, seeing the glowing communication jade, rubbed his temples.

He didn’t want to communicate with the Demon Lord, but he had lost the draw.

“Tell me about the current situation between the two realms, and that… Demon God?” The Demon Lord paused. “Found you.”

Zhao Xiting, who had just picked up the communication jade, hadn’t even spoken yet when he heard the Demon Lord’s last sentence, his heart skipped a beat, then he felt a gust of wind brush past his cheek, as if trying to peel off his skin. Before he could react, the Demon Lord was already standing in front of him.

After a two-second pause, Zhao Xiting forced a polite smile.

“I am the current Demon King of the Western Territory, Zhao Xiting.”

Zhao Xiting hadn’t met the Demon Lord before; he was born a thousand years after the Demon Lord was sealed.

The portraits of the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm were all terrifying, for example, with a ring of eyes around his head or twenty arms, but in person, he was very thin, besides his red eyes, which were a bit scary, he looked like a malnourished teenager, not at all like the fearsome Demon Lord.

And there were suspicious bloodstains on the Demon Lord’s clothes. Based on his demonic instincts, these bloodstains were fresh, he suspected they were Jiang Zhiyan’s doing, and inwardly exclaimed, “As expected of My Lord, even the Demon Lord is nothing special.”

The Demon Lord nodded, uninterested in a creature he could easily crush like Zhao Xiting.

Zhao Xiting took out the documents he had prepared and started explaining the situation to the Demon Lord.

He accidentally glanced at the paper the Demon Lord had tossed on the table, saw the content, and froze for a few seconds.

“Hm?” The Demon Lord looked over.

“This is?” Zhao Xiting pointed at the paper cautiously.

“Oh, that god said it was a speech, told me to memorize it,” the Demon Lord said, twitching the corner of his mouth, clearly unwilling.

Zhao Xiting nodded: “Since it’s My Lord’s order…”

He noticed the Demon Lord’s gaze and shut up, continuing his explanation, and planning to report to Jiang Zhiyan later, he suspected the Demon Lord wasn’t planning to cooperate.

…

Jiang Zhiyan returned to the volcano and checked on Song Jin’yue.

“Host, the world consciousness can’t protect everyone, if the Heavenly Dao becomes enraged and kills all your supporters…”

“Why should we protect them? The world consciousness just needs to suppress the Heavenly Dao,” Jiang Zhiyan said.

The System was stunned for a second: “Oh, you’re right, I’m being stupid, but why are you still making the female lead cultivate? Aren’t we leaving soon?”

“Who knows if she’ll still cultivate diligently after we leave? If she doesn’t, and there’s a scar on her face, we’ll lose points,” Jiang Zhiyan said, her red eyes staring at the lava, confirming Song Jin’yue’s current location, then sitting down beside her, she planned to stay here and watch over Song Jin’yue.

“Just for that reason?” The System was shocked. “You actually care about such details?”

“Didn’t I say I wanted to accumulate points in the last world?”

“But in the end, Xie Liaoyi was the one who suffered.”

Jiang Zhiyan coughed.

“Oh, I forgot, you haven’t been coaxed yet, so you can only vent your anger this way,” the System paused. “Seeing how she was this morning, I thought you weren’t angry anymore.”

Jiang Zhiyan closed her eyes: “Nonsense, how could I vent my anger on her? Don’t slander me.”

“Tsk,” the System snorted.

…

After Zhao Xiting finished explaining the current situation to the Demon Lord, the latter narrowed his eyes: “A false Heavenly Dao… that’s interesting.”

“So are you planning to follow My Lord’s instructions?” Zhao Xiting asked.

“Why doesn’t she become the Heavenly Dao herself, why find another one?” the Demon Lord asked.

Zhao Xiting paused, thought for two seconds, and said: “My Lord doesn’t seem interested in that.”

“Tsk,” the Demon Lord looked at Zhao Xiting.

“So, Your Majesty…” Zhao Xiting asked tentatively again.

“You’re truly a loyal dog,” the Demon Lord said with emotion.

Zhao Xiting chuckled and said: “Strength is valued above all else in the Demon Realm, and the situation has already developed to this stage, you’re a crucial part of it, My Lord’s arrangements cannot go wrong.”

Jiang Zhiyan had given him a life-saving item, but facing the Demon Lord, his heart still trembled, this was the person who almost single-handedly killed all the Greater Mastery cultivators in the cultivation world.

…

“I took a look, the Demon Lord seems very unwilling, it’s indeed difficult for him.” Thinking about the Demon Lord’s character, he didn’t seem like someone who could publicly act vulnerable.

“It doesn’t matter, I released him just to let others know he’s out, and to make me, the one who’s setting things right, appear more glorious. If he’s unwilling, I’ll just kill him and create a fake one, no one will be able to tell the difference,” Jiang Zhiyan said nonchalantly. But creating a fake one would still require her own effort, so it was better to use the real one if possible.

Things were proceeding according to Jiang Zhiyan’s plan. Zhao Xun took people to the mortal realm, using her methods to treat the illnesses of mortals, telling them after each treatment that it was a blessing bestowed by the only god in the world – Jiang Zhiyan.

While healing people, Zhao Xun also spread the third edition of the myth revised by Jiang Zhiyan – “The false Heavenly Dao brainwashed humanity into slaughtering gods to seize power, the only divine descendant awakens to save the world” – solidifying the concept of a “false Heavenly Dao” and allowing Jiang Zhiyan to gain faith from humans.

Becoming a god required faith, it was almost impossible through cultivation alone, and as long as the number of people who believed in her increased, the Heavenly Dao would weaken, one’s gain was the other’s loss.

The healing method wasn’t anything special, the cultivation world also used similar methods, but Jiang Zhiyan’s version was improved, and combined with the brainwashing story, the effect was even better.

The people in the cultivation world were mostly convinced, after all, in their understanding, Jiang Zhiyan didn’t have any motive to fall into demonic cultivation, and she hadn’t done anything extreme after falling.

And in the story Jiang Zhiyan fabricated, the cultivation world was the most brainwashed by the false Heavenly Dao. Thinking about the existence of Tianyan Pavilion, they found this story eighty percent believable. So it seemed perfectly normal for her to leave, and Zhao Xun bringing demons to help them further enhanced the effect.

The leaders of the major sects and families in the cultivation world had originally planned to wait and see, but after gathering information for a few days, they found themselves in a difficult position, either side with Jiang Zhiyan or be labeled as lackeys of the false god.

They had done this kind of thing before, but this was the first time they encountered someone like Jiang Zhiyan, who directly set up a stage and put on a play in all three realms, causing unrest and gaining support without any losses to the Demon Realm.

“Is there… any other news from above?”

The Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion shook his head: “It’s strange.”

They were hesitant to act, worried about the Heavenly Dao’s retaliation, but the Heavenly Dao had been too quiet these past few days, no actions, not a single word.

“Let’s invite Jiang Zhiyan,” the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect said.

They soon realized there was no need. The Demon Lord’s large face appeared in major cities across all three realms, using the second-generation communication jades created by Jiang Zhiyan in collaboration with Tianyan Pavilion.

To allow Song Jin’yue to see this performance, Jiang Zhiyan deliberately delayed it for a few days, so she could see it after finishing this stage of her cultivation.

“What performance?” Song Jin’yue looked at the large face in the distance.

“A change of heaven.”

The Demon Lord was indeed unwilling, but thinking about Jiang Zhiyan’s promise to fight him properly, he decided to endure the humiliation, after all, fighting experts was his greatest pursuit, and there was currently no one stronger than Jiang Zhiyan in this world.

His acting wasn’t very good, but his demeanor was very pitiful. He still looked like he had just emerged from his seal, like a refugee, he stuttered through his speech, but it seemed more genuine, and when he reached the “emotional” parts, he covered his face with his hand, pretending to be heartbroken, actually suppressing his urge to run away.

“Look, isn’t the sky beautiful?”

Song Jin’yue looked up, the perpetually gloomy sky of the Demon Realm was now exceptionally vibrant, various colors appearing, as if splashed with paint.

“Why is this happening?” Song Jin’yue stared with wide eyes, trying to memorize this beautiful scene.

“Probably because the Heavenly Dao is about to die of anger,” Jiang Zhiyan said, twitching the corner of her mouth.

The speech written by Jiang Zhiyan blamed all the major disasters of recent years on the Heavenly Dao and claimed that those who failed their heavenly tribulations became nourishment for the false Heavenly Dao. Finally, she revealed the secret that no one in the cultivation world could ascend, directly hitting the sore spot of cultivators in both the Demon Realm and the cultivation world.

“Is it all lies?”

“Maybe some of it is true?” Jiang Zhiyan shrugged. “Who knows.”

She pulled Song Jin’yue into her arms: “I want a passionate kiss.”

“What?” Song Jin’yue hadn’t recovered yet.

Jiang Zhiyan lay down, and the two fell into the lava below. Having been soaking in it for so long, it couldn’t really be called lava anymore, it was much thinner than before, you could even swim in it.

Song Jin’yue was startled by the heat and subconsciously hugged Jiang Zhiyan, whose temperature was lower, and pinched her waist.

This was crazy, who would go on a date in a place like this?

That was what she thought, but she kissed Jiang Zhiyan passionately.

Chapter 95: You Can Only Like Me (21)

“Made up?” Song Jin’yue looked at Jiang Zhiyan.

Jiang Zhiyan immediately let go, took two steps back, put some distance between them, and sat down: “No, I just happened to bring you back from the city gate, after all, it’s your first time here and you don’t know the way, it’s just common courtesy.”

Song Jin’yue chuckled softly: “Okay.”

She rummaged through her storage pouch and looked at Jiang Zhiyan: “Close your eyes.”

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t move. Song Jin’yue leaned closer and kissed Jiang Zhiyan’s cheek, looking at her with a smile.

“I won’t hold it against you.” Jiang Zhiyan obediently closed her eyes this time, her heart pounding with anticipation.

“No peeking with your divine sense.”

“I’m not,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “You don’t trust me.”

Song Jin’yue nudged Jiang Zhiyan’s shoulder: “Okay, open your eyes.”

“What is this?” Jiang Zhiyan looked at the string of demonic beast teeth on the table. Having spent so much time in the Demon Realm, she could tell at a glance which region these demonic beasts came from. This person had backtracked, she probably hadn’t rested much these past few days.

“I asked around, it’s an ancient marriage proposal custom in the Demon Realm, stringing together teeth from nine different types of demonic beasts, all Nascent Soul stage, I didn’t encounter any Spirit Severing ones, and even if I did, I probably couldn’t defeat them,” Song Jin’yue pushed the necklace forward. “I’ve already processed them, there’s no smell.”

Jiang Zhiyan rested her chin on her hand, looked away, then back at Song Jin’yue: “So sly, I asked you to coax me, and you proposed at the same time.”

“But aren’t we already married?” Song Jin’yue sat beside Jiang Zhiyan. “I just wanted to give you a special gift, I chose demonic beasts with especially hard teeth, nine teeth, representing our long-lasting and unbreakable love.”

Jiang Zhiyan couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing her smile, Song Jin’yue leaned closer, wrapped her arm around Jiang Zhiyan’s, her gaze like small hooks, capturing her attention. Jiang Zhiyan gently caressed Song Jin’yue’s neck and lowered her head. Song Jin’yue looked up, released Jiang Zhiyan’s arm, and wrapped her arms tightly around her neck.

Jiang Zhiyan pulled Song Jin’yue onto her lap and nibbled on her neck with dissatisfaction: “Just a reminder, I’m still not properly coaxed.”

“I know,” Song Jin’yue said helplessly.

…

“Interview time, the female lead and the female supporting character are together now, how do you feel?” the System asked curiously. During missions, it could usually only talk to Jiang Zhiyan, this was the first time it could communicate with other people and other species, it was a bit excited.

The world consciousness was silent for three whole minutes before speaking: “I’ve accepted it.”

After saying that, it disappeared, clearly not wanting to continue watching what was about to happen.

“They’re not even going to the room, this is indecent,” the System complained and also ran away.

Jiang Zhiyan had already carried Song Jin’yue onto the stone table, their kissing hadn’t stopped. Song Jin’yue, her arms around Jiang Zhiyan’s neck, slowly lay down on the table, her eyes red and watery.

“We’ll rest for a day today, you still have to cultivate tomorrow,” Jiang Zhiyan whispered.

Song Jin’yue, a little confused, arched her back slightly as Jiang Zhiyan moved: “You call this resting?”

“Leisure.”

“Aren’t we going inside?” Song Jin’yue asked.

“No one will come here, those with lower cultivation than me can’t spy on us,” Jiang Zhiyan said, listening to Song Jin’yue’s rapid breathing. “Haven’t you been cultivating diligently? You’re only at this level?”

Song Jin’yue turned her head away, covering her eyes, listening to her own broken voice, feeling like she had melted into a puddle of water.

“Why are you covering your eyes? Don’t you want to look at me?” Jiang Zhiyan asked with a wronged tone. “You can’t coax me anymore, completely uncoaxable.”

Song Jin’yue pulled Jiang Zhiyan’s collar, pulling her closer: “I’m looking, I love looking.”

…

Su Huo, standing outside the palace, was confused, why couldn’t she enter suddenly?

She looked around with her hands on her hips, thought for three seconds, then turned and skipped away. She had thought the barrier was temporary, who knew she still couldn’t enter after coming back at night, she discreetly asked Zhao Xiting.

“Don’t you know? She picked up a woman at the city gate today and started kissing her right there.”

Su Huo: ?

At this rate, what had she missed?

Zhao Xiting continued gossiping: “What’s the relationship between My Lord and Song Jin’yue and Wei Jingqian?”

“Wei Jingqian?” Su Huo felt like she hadn’t heard this name in eight hundred years. “He’s just a backdrop to their love story.”

Zhao Xiting understood and nodded: “You can do that in the cultivation world?”

“Normally, no, but do you think Jiang Zhiyan cares?”

“Indeed, as expected of My Lord.”

Su Huo suspected he was being sarcastic, but his admiring expression didn’t seem sarcastic at all.

She had felt that this person wasn’t quite right the first time she saw him, and even more so now.

…

Song Jin’yue initially thought Jiang Zhiyan was joking about only resting for a day, but she was actually serious.

When she woke up, she was already at the crater of a volcano.

“Are we in such a hurry?” Song Jin’yue looked at Jiang Zhiyan.

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded. “The world consciousness will look after you, you don’t need any more instructions from me, you know what to do, I’m going to release the Demon Lord today.”

Song Jin’yue looked down into the crater: “Jump straight down?”

“Mm, I’ll pick you up after you finish cultivating,” Jiang Zhiyan looked at Song Jin’yue. “I’m leaving, aren’t you going to kiss me goodbye?”

“I don’t want you to leave, so no goodbye, I didn’t expect you to be in such a hurry,” Song Jin’yue walked over to Jiang Zhiyan. “Why are you so much taller than me in this world?”

“Just half a head,” Jiang Zhiyan lowered her head.

Song Jin’yue kissed the corner of her mouth: “Is it dangerous?”

“It’s alright, I already started preparing this morning while you were asleep,” Jiang Zhiyan said.

Jiang Zhiyan asked the System to prepare several highly inflammatory articles exposing the “false Heavenly Dao,” these articles would be spread throughout the three realms, and she also asked the Demon Kings to find some trustworthy-looking people to give speeches in each realm, there was no need to find specific evidence, the situation in the mortal realm was the best evidence.

All this was to shake people’s faith, a Heavenly Dao that wasn’t recognized by anyone couldn’t be considered a Heavenly Dao, at a time like this, if the world consciousness took appropriate actions, it could win over people’s hearts, especially those in the mortal realm who had suffered for so long.

Although the Demon Kings said it was difficult to find “trustworthy-looking people,” Jiang Zhiyan believed in their abilities.

If nothing unexpected happened, those rumors should have already spread throughout the cultivation world.

The leaders of the major sects and families in the cultivation world held an emergency meeting. They had originally planned to keep it a secret, but now it was clearly impossible to hide it any longer. Those who believed the rumors and those who believed in the Heavenly Dao were divided into two factions, and they had been arguing for almost half an hour.

“I think the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion should know the most about this, after all, he’s been observing the heavens for so long, Sect Master He, you haven’t said anything since you arrived.”

The Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion frowned: “He didn’t tell me about the incident in the mortal realm.”

The entire hall fell silent, everyone’s gaze on the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion.

“So what do you think, Sect Master?”

“The key is the cycle of reincarnation,” the ancestor of the Wanfa Sect said. “I’ve been to the mortal realm, none of you here can rebuild the cycle of reincarnation.”

Her words weren’t explicit, but everyone understood what she meant.

Whoever could rebuild the cycle of reincarnation was the Heavenly Dao.

“Perhaps it’s not impossible…” the Wei Family Head said.

“Even our ancestor couldn’t do it, you can?” The Second Elder of the Wanfa Sect looked at him with dissatisfaction. Jiang Zhiyan falling into demonic cultivation and taking the Sun and Moon Mirror was a heavy blow to the reputation of not only the Myriad Swords Sect, but also the Wei family.

“The key is Jiang Zhiyan.”

Hearing this name, the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion looked at the Wei Family Head, he didn’t want to cause more trouble, so he didn’t mention the Heavenly Dao’s order to eliminate Jiang Zhiyan.

“Jiang Zhiyan is a divine descendant, perhaps we can do what was done tens of thousands of years ago,” the Wei Family Head whispered.

His words were like a bolt from the blue, even the usually calm people present looked shocked, after all, not many people knew about what happened tens of thousands of years ago, and the divine descendant was just a myth to many, not to be taken seriously.

“Such a good opportunity, and you’re letting it slip away, it doesn’t want gods to exist, and it doesn’t want anyone to ascend, can’t you see? Fools,” Jiang Zhiyan said, she was at the Demon Lord’s seal, but she still diverted part of her attention to listen to their discussion. “If it continues to exist, all of you here will only end up dead.”

“None of you mentioned this during your discussion, do you not believe it?” Jiang Zhiyan sneered. “What happened tens of thousands of years ago? I have the true Heavenly Dao backing me, it won’t happen again, you have two choices, die or cooperate.”

Jiang Zhiyan’s sudden appearance made everyone’s expressions darken. Her actions were practically telling them that her cultivation level was higher than all of theirs.

“I’ll release the Demon Lord first,” Jiang Zhiyan tore open the seal with her bare hands. “Think carefully.”

The hall was silent for a long time, no one went to check on the Demon Lord, they couldn’t stop it anyway. Finally, the ancestor of the Wanfa Sect stood up, supporting herself on the table: “If we can’t ascend, then what’s the point of living? I’m truly bored.”

Once she expressed her stance, others echoed her sentiments.

…

The Demon Lord, who had been sealed for thousands of years, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiyan. The Demonic Sword, seeing its former master, was calm. It had been worried that the Demon Lord would discover it had abandoned him, but it wasn’t afraid now, because Jiang Zhiyan was already a demigod, and the Demon Lord couldn’t defeat her.

The Demonic Sword was a little proud, but the fact that Jiang Zhiyan didn’t like using it made it a bit unhappy.

“You…” his voice was hoarse.

“I want you to come forward as a victim and denounce the Heavenly Dao. I’ve already written the speech, you have three days to memorize it, and you have to appear vulnerable.”

Demon Lord: ?

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t bother explaining, she directly tossed the speech and a communication jade to him: “If you have any questions, contact the Western Demon King, do you know how to use a communication jade? Infuse it with demonic energy, there’s a message for the Western Demon King inside.”

Chapter 94: You Can Only Like Me (20)

Jiang Zhiyan wanted to leave early, but seeing Song Jin’yue’s attitude, she knew she couldn’t. She herself felt no guilt, but Song Jin’yue did.

She wanted to talk to the world consciousness or the Heavenly Dao, to gauge their attitudes and determine her next course of action.

Jiang Zhiyan casually found a stone bench in the courtyard, sat down, closed her eyes, sensed the surrounding demonic and spiritual energy, and established a bridge of communication with the Heavenly Dao.

“What do I need to do to rebuild the cycle of reincarnation? Can you rebuild it yourself?” Jiang Zhiyan asked directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an intense killing intent, almost materializing. Dark clouds gathered above Jiang Zhiyan’s head, the reddish-black sky closer to the ground, as if about to devour the earth.

“You’ve become weaker, haven’t you? Otherwise, an incomplete part of me wouldn’t be able to destroy the cycle of reincarnation,” Jiang Zhiyan continued. “Now that I’m offering to help you rebuild it, you should be happy.”

The System had never seen anyone negotiate like this.

The thunderclouds continued to gather, seemingly not wanting to talk to Jiang Zhiyan, just wanting to strike her down, but just as the lightning was about to fall, it was held back by another force.

Jiang Zhiyan couldn’t see the struggle between the world consciousness and the Heavenly Dao, but she could sense it, after all, she was now a demigod.

“Why did you become weaker? Was the one managing reincarnation in the mortal realm your avatar? If your avatar formed an underworld, then it’s all been destroyed now, it’s normal that you’re so weak,” Jiang Zhiyan continued.

She had been thinking about this ever since returning from the mortal realm. The legends and stories in the mortal realm still mentioned the underworld system, and they considered them gods. But now it seemed that the Heavenly Dao couldn’t find anyone to manage the underworld. Considering that no one had ascended from the cultivation world for a long time, the “gods” managing the underworld were very likely avatars of the Heavenly Dao itself.

It wouldn’t allow “gods” to appear again, because gods, in a sense, threatened its position. It was likely that the Heavenly Dao had also played a role in the slaughter of the gods back then. After the gods died, everything was under its control, and it was so petty that it wouldn’t even allow ascension.

Now that the underworld system had collapsed, its weakness was exposed.

“Boom,” thunder rumbled.

Jiang Zhiyan twitched the corner of her mouth.

“World consciousness…” Jiang Zhiyan called out in her heart. “If the Heavenly Dao disappears, you can take its place, right? After all, in my opinion, your roles are essentially the same.”

The Heavenly Dao was indeed difficult to communicate with, or rather, it directly refused to communicate. If its strength was restored, it would probably attack her again.

“Host, not every world consciousness can talk,” the System reminded her.

“That’s true, why would a proper world consciousness talk?” Jiang Zhiyan complained.

“I can take its place,” a third voice suddenly appeared, overlapping with Jiang Zhiyan’s.

Jiang Zhiyan, who was complaining, felt a bit awkward, and so did the other voice.

They were both silent for a moment, but Jiang Zhiyan, thick-skinned, quickly recovered and calmly greeted: “What a coincidence.”

“I was dormant for a while, and when I woke up, it had already appeared. Now that the order is collapsing and it’s weakening, I can devour it once it’s weak enough. You becoming a demigod has also taken away part of its authority,” the world consciousness continued.

Jiang Zhiyan leaned against the table: “I shouldn’t have told the cultivation world then, but did you sleep for too long?”

“That won’t do, it’s too messy, I can’t fix it,” the world consciousness refused, unable to resist defending itself. “As for sleeping, I’m naturally in a dormant state without taskers around.”

Jiang Zhiyan nodded in understanding, currently, the closest person to ascension in the entire cultivation world was the sealed Demon Lord. She pondered and narrowed her eyes: “If the cultivation world can resolve the situation in the mortal realm, it would also weaken the Heavenly Dao, right? After all, that was originally its responsibility, if we can reduce the cultivation world’s trust in the Heavenly Dao… that’s also weakening it.”

“More or less.”

Jiang Zhiyan nodded, a plan forming in her mind, her expression instantly relaxing: “Then let’s wait and see, I’m going to rest.”

“Oh, right, the Heavenly Dao might have other avatars, I’m counting on you,” Jiang Zhiyan continued.

“Mm.” After agreeing, the world consciousness paused for two seconds, it didn’t quite understand why it had agreed so readily, but whatever, it just wanted to quickly regain what belonged to it, if this extra thing continued to grow, it would be devoured, and the world would escape the Main God’s control.

Thunder rumbled in the Demon Realm all night, unsettling the demons, many felt it was a bad omen, but even after using all sorts of divination methods, they couldn’t figure out the reason.

The Western Demon King didn’t sleep well all night, staring at the sky, he felt like he would be struck to ashes by the next bolt of lightning. He wanted to contact Jiang Zhiyan, but she was also in the city, she must have seen it, and since she didn’t say anything, it meant there was no problem.

…

After seeing the prompt, Tianyan Pavilion didn’t inform the other sects, but sent people to the mortal realm to investigate. That night, the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion received another instruction from the Heavenly Dao, ordering them to eliminate Jiang Zhiyan.

The Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion had performed divinations many times over the years, most of the time, they only gave clues, this was the first time he had received such a clear instruction with a specific name.

Having communicated with the Heavenly Dao for so long, he could sense its selfishness. This direct order to eliminate Jiang Zhiyan clearly meant that she was a threat to it.

But he didn’t understand, how could Jiang Zhiyan, who had only recently reached Nascent Soul, threaten the Heavenly Dao? If she had already reached that level, how could they kill her?

He had just received news from the people he sent to the mortal realm, the situation there was dire, and starting a war with the Demon Realm at this time definitely wasn’t a good idea.

And that instruction about the “mortal realm,” he felt it wasn’t from the Heavenly Dao when he received it, because it was different from the Heavenly Dao’s usual style, and now it seemed he was right.

Thinking about the Demon Lord’s heart he had just released as bait, the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion felt a headache coming on.

He hadn’t received any news of internal strife within the Demon Realm, but he did hear about the chaos in the Wanfa Sect, the Sect Master of the Wanfa Sect had fallen into demonic cultivation and consumed the half of the Demon Lord’s heart they had released!

When Jiang Zhiyan heard this news, she was meeting with the four Demon Kings. She sat at the head of the table. The Southern Demon King, whom she hadn’t met before, was a bit unhappy, but after their divine senses clashed, she sat down obediently.

Jiang Zhiyan had asked the world consciousness to conceal their meeting, so the Heavenly Dao couldn’t hear them.

“I’m here today to announce a few things.”

“First, the cycle of reincarnation in the mortal realm is broken, it will completely collapse in ten years at most, and both the Demon Realm and the cultivation world will be affected.”

The four Demon Kings: ?

“Second, the current Heavenly Dao is a false Heavenly Dao, we need to support the return of the true Heavenly Dao.”

The four Demon Kings: ??

“But how do you know…” the Southern Demon King frowned.

“The false Heavenly Dao only responds to human cultivators, the Demon Lord is sealed, and it’s helping behind the scenes,” Jiang Zhiyan said, taking a sip of tea, and raising an eyebrow, continuing to look at her. “And if it were the true Heavenly Dao, how could the cycle of reincarnation be broken? It has been masquerading for too long, and it can’t keep it up anymore.”

Everyone knew that Jiang Zhiyan was hiding and fabricating some information, but some of what she said was true, the Heavenly Dao had never been on their side, and the demon cultivators had long been dissatisfied with it.

However, changing the Heavenly Dao, that sounded too absurd, beyond their comprehension, but seeing Jiang Zhiyan’s casual tone, they felt like it wasn’t a big deal.

“How can you be sure that the new Heavenly Dao will be on our side?”

“The Heavenly Dao should remain neutral,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “Its role is to maintain balance and stability in the world, not to help one side defeat the other.”

“Third, I’m a descendant of the divine race, the descendant of the god who died on this land and created the Demon Realm, I’m now a demigod, so all demons must obey my commands, if you want to challenge me, I accept, if there are no objections, I’ll release the Demon Lord in the next few days.”

The four Demon Kings: ???

They had thought Jiang Zhiyan hadn’t been doing anything, and now the three things she announced, each of them made them want to take a moment to process. They had thought they were experienced, but now they felt it wasn’t enough.

“So what do we need to do?” the Western Demon King asked excitedly, he knew he hadn’t bet on the wrong person.

“No rush, in two days, go back and rest for the next few days,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “I’ll inform you if I need anything.”

The four nodded simultaneously.

“You can leave now, I still have things to do,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded.

Their expressions became serious again, judging by the change in Jiang Zhiyan’s expression, they guessed this matter must be very important.

After saying that, Jiang Zhiyan disappeared without waiting for them to leave. The remaining four exchanged glances.

“I wonder what it is this time.”

“She went to the city gate to pick someone up,” the Western Demon King said, swearing he wasn’t deliberately sensing Jiang Zhiyan, but this was his city, and Jiang Zhiyan hadn’t concealed herself.

The four stood there for three seconds, silent, then they all disappeared and reappeared at the city gate, standing not far away, secretly watching.

Then they saw a female human cultivator jump into Jiang Zhiyan’s arms, and Jiang Zhiyan hugged her and patted her head.

Their silence was deafening.

After a long while, the Eastern Demon King couldn’t help but ask: “She said she would give us instructions in two days, is it because she wants to spend these two days with her?”

“Maybe, is this the Song Jin’yue you mentioned last time? This relationship is so messy, I don’t understand it, but I like it, do you have similar stories? Lend me a couple to read.”

“She’s still in the mood for romance, it seems the problem isn’t that serious.”

They whispered among themselves.

Jiang Zhiyan turned her head slightly and glanced in their direction. The four immediately shut up and looked away. When they looked back, the two were already gone.
