"Mother has really suffered a lot because of Father," Liu Lanyan sighed. In fact, the Realm of Despair has always been a place that no one talks about.
That is the most terrifying place in everyone's heart, so much so that they don't even want to talk about it.
"I think your mother would be happy to get what she wants." Mo Yun smiled faintly. He knew about the Liu family before, but because he hadn't sensed Liu Lanyan's presence, he naturally didn't pay much attention to the Liu family's situation.
After Liu Lanyan was discovered, her parents had already left the demon realm, so they naturally did not notice that Liu Lanyan's mother used to be a human.
Don't tell him about what you encountered in the demon realm's palace before. Does he have the time to pay attention to some nobody?
Even the former Grand Elder was beneath his notice.
"If one can find a true love, then one's life is complete." Liu Lanyan felt sorry for her mother, but she envied her parents' relationship even more.
To think that love could keep my mother on the outskirts of the Realm of Despair for two years—truly, the power of love is great.
"Don't make that face." Mo Yun gently flicked Liu Lanyan's forehead. "I won't allow you to do something like that."
"Please, I can cultivate demonic power anyway." Liu Lanyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Demon God. To say something so thoughtless...sigh...
Mo Yun frowned at Liu Lanyan's gaze. He reached out, bent his index finger, and gently tapped Liu Lanyan's forehead, scolding in a low voice, "What kind of expression is that?"
It's like they're looking at an idiot.
"What expression? Do you have one? No, I don't." Liu Lanyan feigned innocence, pretending not to understand.
Looking at the chattering cherry lips in front of him, Mo Yun chose the most effective way to end their conversation.
Liu Lanyan sighed inwardly, "This guy," but she quickly succumbed to her tender feelings.
Inside Wuchen Residence, there was no sense of urgency from the Demon Realm. The Demon Lord was already on high alert, sending people to constantly observe the movements outside the Demon Realm and keep track of the whereabouts of the forces from both the Immortal and Demon Realms.
Inside the main hall, the Demon Lord had just finished discussing matters with the four elders and hadn't even had a chance to rest and catch his breath when someone barged in and interrupted him.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Demon Lord frowned deeply, but had no choice but to speak: "What is it?"
"It's okay, I won't come over." Yu Lijing said without backing down, she never suffered a loss.
After resting for a few days, Yu Lijing recovered most of her health. She had been thinking a lot these past few days, and just when she was about to get a clue and grasp the key to the problem, she would get a splitting headache.
There must be a crucial issue that she cares about deeply, but she just can't remember it when it comes to the crucial moment, and if she keeps thinking about it, she gets a splitting headache.
"What happened a thousand years ago?" Yu Lijin asked the question that had been bothering her for many days. She always felt that the relationship between the three realms was very subtle, and that it was not just what appeared on the surface, but also many unknown things.
Yu Lijing's question made the Demon Lord laugh, and he countered, "Of course, there was chaos in the Three Realms a thousand years ago."
"Why is the Three Realms in such chaos?" The Demon Lord's answer made Yu Lijing frown. Of course, she knew that the Three Realms were in chaos, but she was concerned about another question: "Why is the Three Realms in such chaos?"
She could never recall a reason; there was a vague impression in her mind, but it was veiled by a thick curtain, preventing her from seeing the truth.
Yu Lijing's question only earned her the Demon Lord's sneer.
Yu Lijing had been racking her brains these past few days, her head feeling like it was being hammered repeatedly. But the very issue she cared about most was treated as a joke by the Demon Lord.
Yu Lijing's face immediately darkened: "What are you laughing at? Is this question so funny?"
"Of course it's funny." The Demon Lord finally managed to suppress his laughter and asked Yu Lijin, "Back when the Three Realms were in chaos, you were the Demon Lord, and I was just a commoner from the Demon Realm. How would I know why the Three Realms were in chaos?"
Even when asking someone, Yu Lijing asked the wrong person.
"What? Is the reason from back then really that important?" Seeing Yu Lijing's furrowed brows, the Demon Lord realized that it wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision, which made him take Yu Lijing's question more seriously.
Yu Lijing, unusually, didn't argue with the Demon Lord. Instead, after pondering for a moment, she muttered to herself, "I always feel that there were things that happened in the Three Realms before... but..."
Yu Lijing patted her temples with her palms, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to recall anything.
The Demon Lord looked at Yu Lijing and said solemnly, "I'm afraid no one in the Demon Realm will know about those things."
The older generation of demons suffered heavy casualties back then, and those who knew the inside story probably disappeared along with the upheaval in the Three Realms.
The only person who might know is Yu Lijing, but unfortunately, Yu Lijing is confused, has forgotten many things, and occasionally goes crazy.
If Yu Lijing didn't know, then it was impossible to expect anyone else in the demon realm to know.
Even if it were a demon god, it would only be someone who came out to repay a debt of gratitude during a time of great chaos in the Three Realms, and it would be impossible for it to know anything about it.
If we're talking about the realms of immortals and demons, the Demon Emperor and the Venerable One certainly know, but of course, they definitely won't say it.
The three realms are already in a hostile position, so would they still be able to open up to each other and share intimate thoughts?
It's obvious without even thinking that it's impossible.
"It's no use thinking about these things now." The Demon Lord felt that a thousand years had passed. Yu Lijing didn't know if it was because she had been in the forbidden area for too long, or because her madness had worsened, but her thoughts seemed to be becoming more and more abnormal.
Yu Lijing ignored the Demon Lord's advice, her brows furrowed, and she lowered her head in deep thought.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest. I'll handle things here." The Demon Lord looked at Yu Lijing and sensed that she seemed quite down.
Seeing Yu Lijing like this, the Demon Lord felt as if someone was tearing at his heart, and he couldn't help but soften his tone: "Don't think about it anymore. What happened a thousand years ago is in the past. Now the Three Realms are in turmoil again. There's no use thinking about the past."
Yu Lijing slowly raised her head, her tightly furrowed brows showing no sign of easing; instead, her face was filled with worry: "I feel that matter is very important. If I could remember it, perhaps it would be helpful..."
The almost dreamlike murmur made the Demon Lord uneasy. Judging from Yu Lijing's words, could things from a thousand years ago really be that important?
Is she having a relapse of her mental illness, or does she really have memories?
The Demon Lord was unsure what to do with Yu Lijing.
"Are there any other people who know? Are there any other people in the demon realm who know?" The demon lord didn't know whether Yu Lijing was telling the truth or not. He always had to think twice about things that were beneficial to the demon realm.
