Jun Tian asked Shao Yan, "Are you injured?"
Shao Yan shook his head. From several meters away, he felt the burning gaze fixed on him. He looked back and found Huan Changming staring at him with fiery eyes.
"Qu Surou, Huan Juntian...you really are Pianpian." Huan Changming cried tears of joy and ran towards Shaoyan, "You are my Pianpian!"
Jun Tian drew his sword to block Huan Changming, saying, "If the Demon Lord insists on provoking a war between the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm, I will definitely fight to the end."
"Huan Juntian, don't distort the truth! I just wanted to talk to Pianpian! Don't pin those unfounded accusations on me!"
"The Demon Lord is indeed eloquent, but you've mistaken him for someone else. This is our Heavenly Lord, and every word he speaks is reasonable and well-founded." Su Rou smoothed Shao Yan's wind-blown hair. "This is our Heavenly Prince, a man of noble status, worshipped by all immortals. By insulting our Prince today, you have made an enemy of the entire Heavenly Realm!"
Having said that, she bypassed Jun Tian and swiftly thrust her sword at Huan Changming. Huan Changming's sword hairpin transformed into a sword, blocking Su Rou's attack. "Qu Su Rou, don't try to fool me!"
"Fooling me? You've been blinded by greed! You even dare to confuse your identity as a divine child with others!" Su Rou had long wanted to stab Huan Changming with her sword, and this situation was perfect for venting her personal anger. "What Qu Su Rou? I am a legitimate immortal from the Heavenly Realm! I think you're not only blinded, but you're also blind!"
Her sword strikes were swift and fierce, each aimed at taking Huan Changming's life. Huan Changming, mindful of Lu Pianpian, didn't attack her directly, only dodging her attacks. But she became increasingly audacious, and just as she was about to stab Huan Changming in the throat, Huan Changming had no choice but to strike back.
Su Rou was no match for him and was knocked back several feet by this attack.
Shao Yan intervened in time to save Su Rou and placed her in Jun Tian's hands. He looked at Huan Changming with anger in his eyes, then gripped his sword and attacked him.
While dodging, Huan Changming explained, "I didn't intend to fight her. It was because she was trying to kill me with every move that I had no choice but to fight back to protect myself!"
"You don't need to explain, I have eyes to see clearly." Shao Yan said coldly, "Demon Lord Changming, today our feud is officially established."
"If you insist on bothering me, then let's fight to the death!"
The sword in Shao Yan's hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and he slashed at Huan Changming, clearly intending to kill him.
Huan Changming was somewhat stunned. "You still want to kill me?"
Shao Yan met his gaze, the coldness in his eyes gradually extinguishing the fire in Shao Yan's eyes. He discarded his sword and said with a smile, "I owe you a life. You've come to collect it, so naturally I should repay it."
Having said that, he closed his eyes, awaiting Shao Yan's fatal blow.
Seeing this, Su Rou realized something was wrong and tried to step forward to stop them, but Jun Tian stopped her.
Su Rou said anxiously, "What are you doing? You can't let Pian Pian kill him!"
Jun Tian looked at Huan Changming, who was about to be killed by his senior brother, and his eyes shone with an astonishing light. "If the Heavenly Lord investigates, just say that I killed him."
"Huan San, you..."
"We are deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, Your Highness!"
The Demon King Langxu suddenly appeared, shoving Huan Changming away from Shao Yan's sword. He then smiled and cupped his hands towards Shao Yan, saying, "It's been many years. Why is the Divine Child so temperamental?"
The killing intent on Shao Yan's sword faded, and he held the sword behind his back. "Little Demon King Lang Xu, what do you want to do?"
"Please, Divine Child, remove the word 'minor.' I am now the Demon King Langxu." Langxu shielded Huan Changming behind him. "The Demon Lord and I are sworn brothers. Today, he offended you, Divine Child, but he lost his mind because he missed his deceased wife. Please forgive any offense he may have caused."
After saying that, he turned to Huan Changming and said, "Changming, although the Divine Child looks similar to your deceased wife, your deceased wife was just a mortal, while the Divine Child is a celestial being. How can they be compared? You should stop bothering with this."
"I don't believe it." Huan Changming stared intently at Shao Yan. "He is Pianpian."
Langxu smiled and dismissed it, secretly signaling Mulingzi to help him subdue Huan Changming. He then said to Shaoyan, "God Child, Lord Juntian, and Fairy Surou, please leave. We will not stop you."
Huan Changming glared fiercely at Langxu, then looked at Shaoyan and pleaded, "Pianpian, don't go."
Shao Yan didn't even glance at him, and he and Jun Tian Su Rou rode away on a cloud.
Huan Changming was about to give chase when Langxu stopped him, saying, "Listen to me!"
"You dare let him go? I'll settle the score with you once I find him!"
"Changming, do you think he'll come back with you if you chase after him now!" Langxu shouted. "You haven't even figured out his identity yet. Aren't you afraid that you'll not only fail to catch him, but you'll also be killed by him?"
Huan Changming's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "I'm not afraid of death, I just want him!"
"Even now, as the Demon Lord, he won't give you a second glance. If you become a wandering ghost, he will abandon you like trash! Calm down and listen to me!"
Huan Changming suddenly remembered that Pianpian disliked the scar on his face, and his steps to chase after her became hesitant.
His thoughts calmed down, and he became much more clear-headed. "You just said he was some kind of divine child from heaven, not Pianpian."
Langxu gestured for Mulingzi to take the demon general down, and Mulingzi understood and did so.
After everyone left, Langxu led Huan Changming back to the Demon Palace and said to him, "You admire Lu Pianpian so much, he must be conflicted, can't you tell?"
The moment Huan Changming saw him in the Nine Netherworld Calamity, he knew he was Pianpian. Coupled with the fact that he looked exactly like Huan Juntian and Qu Surou, he was certain that this divine child was his Pianpian.
Langxu smiled. "In the Heavenly Realm, there is a divine child, born with divine status, who is created from the form of living beings. He is worshipped and revered by all immortals, and his status is second only to the Heavenly Emperor. Can you guess what this divine child's true form is?"
"His true form is a Spirit Rhinoceros Butterfly." Langxu paused, then added, "Just like your Lu Pianpian."
Huan Changming's answer was confirmed, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. But Lang Xu's next words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flame in his heart.
“Changming, there is no one named Lu Pianpian in this world. The Lu Pianpian you know is just a tribulation that the divine son Shaoyan experienced in the lower realm.”
What are you trying to say?
"I just feel sorry for you. The Divine Child only descended to the mortal realm to do a favor for Fairy Su Rou and Divine Lord Jun Tian by helping them overcome their tribulations, but he dragged you into it, and you still can't extricate yourself from it. You've tormented yourself for two hundred years because of Lu Pianpian's death. I saw clearly how you survived those two hundred years. But there was never a Lu Pianpian. She didn't exist before, and she doesn't exist now."
"The divine son is taciturn, cultivating a heart of ruthlessness and refining the compassion of the heavens. You boasted of your passionate love with him, but before he returned to his divine position after death, he turned around and drank the water of the River Styx, forgetting you completely."
Langxu sighed and noticed Huan Changming's increasingly vacant expression. He knew that Huan Changming couldn't figure it out for the time being. Just as he was about to offer some more words of comfort, he heard Huan Changming murmur, "So he didn't deliberately deny me. He only forgot me because of the Styx River?"
"yes."
Huan Changming looked down at the ground, his hands supporting his forehead, his eyes glazed over for a long time, and then suddenly said, "It's better to forget."
Most of the memories he left behind for Pianpian were painful. Now that he has forgotten them, they can start over.
He stood up and faced Lang Xuping, saying, "Since you found out his identity so clearly, why are you only telling me now?"
His Pianpian didn't die. His Pianpian has always been in the Heavenly Realm. No wonder his birth date and time are not in the Book of Life and Death. His Pianpian is a divine child, noble and holy. How could he be like a mortal?
Langxu knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he simply confessed, "He has been asleep ever since he returned from his tribulation. I only learned about him from rumors that he had just woken up a few days ago."
"As for why I didn't tell you from the beginning... you're just a mortal with low cultivation, how could you possibly meet the noble divine child in the Heavenly Realm?"
Huan Changming had his own reasons, and sneered, "Langxu, hide your ulterior motives. You know perfectly well why I'm joining forces with you."
"Huan Changming, Lu Pianpian doesn't remember you at all now. She doesn't even hate you anymore, let alone love you! Don't you feel resentful?"
Huan Changming's two-hundred-year search for his beloved turned out to be a calamity for the Divine Child. He was merely a stepping stone for the Divine Child Shaoyan to regain his divine position, while he was forced into this century-long love tribulation, unable to extricate himself.
Even more ridiculous is that the divine child has drunk the waters of the River Styx and has completely forgotten him.
Huan Changming also wanted to ask his Pianpian what he was thinking about before drinking the water of the Styx River.
Did he truly have no lingering feelings for him whatsoever, and thus resolutely choose to forget him?
Huan Changming felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if being pricked by needles, but the fact that Pianpian was still alive was the greatest blessing for him.
He should be thankful that his beloved is a divine being.
"Where are you going?" Langxu stopped Huan Changming.
"The Celestial Realm".
Above the heavens, in the throne room of the Qing Palace, sat a young man.
He was dressed in imperial robes, with a youthful appearance, yet his expression was dignified and imposing, possessing the air of a celestial being.
He dismissed Su Rou and Jun Tian, leaving only himself and the divine son in the temple.
"Shut up. It's just the two of us brothers here. You don't need to hide anything from me anymore."
Shao Yan bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
The Heavenly Emperor stepped down from his throne and helped him up with both hands. "I know you harbor resentment towards Huan Changming. Anyone can kill him, but not you."
Shao Yan raised his head to meet his gaze, "Why do you say such a thing, Heavenly Lord?"
The Heavenly Emperor seemed to have something difficult to say. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and decided to tell the truth.
“He is Agana.”
Upon hearing this, the calm in Shao Yan's eyes was instantly shattered.

I desperately need pre-orders for my next book! Please, kind readers, add it to your favorites! QAQ
I really need the book "The Demon Lord is My Ex-Boyfriend"!
Yue Luoti is a fairy, but she can neither subdue demons nor exorcise monsters. She spends her days holed up in her palace, wasting her time and being a useless person. It is said that the heavenly realm does not keep useless people, but she alone can so openly and honestly waste her days, which makes her many diligent and hardworking fairy friends very envious.
One day, a newly ascended immortal couldn't help but feel indignant: "All the immortals are working hard for the sake of all living beings. How can you, an immortal, be so depraved? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Emperor?"
Yue Luoti thought for a moment and said, "The Demon Lord is my ex-boyfriend."
Xiao Xian: "So what? He's long since vanished into thin air, and he can't support you anymore..."
Yue Luoti patted his shoulder, "I killed him."
Xiao Xian: !! This woman is ruthless!
The Demon Lord Jing Shui Lou ruled over the three realms of demons, monsters, and ghosts. He was infamous and the Heavenly Realm always regarded him as a major threat. Three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Realm sent a stunningly beautiful goddess to the mortal world to lure him into the path of love, which finally led to his complete annihilation.
Unexpectedly, three hundred years later, he was resurrected—
Demons, monsters, and ghosts, all beings of the three realms, knelt on the banks of the River of the Underworld to welcome the king's return. The river water was stained a deep, inky black by resentment, and it surged and flowed backward, creating towering waves. From within these waves, a figure slowly emerged—
The crowd bowed their heads and shouted, "Welcome back, Your Majesty!"
"Bring Yue Luoti here..." Jing Shuilou was enveloped in an intense aura of resentment, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling bloodlust, "I want to tear her apart and devour her!"
However, when Yue Luoti was actually brought before him, he asked in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "You said you liked me, but it was all an act from beginning to end?"
My ex-boyfriend, whom I killed, has come back to life and is asking me if I still love him. What should I do? Urgent help needed online!#
