Her wariness, and her immediate attempt to cover her face with her hair as if she were genuinely afraid of being seen, only reassured the Great Demon King, who found it amusing. He chuckled softly.
Luo Zhiheng then realized something was wrong and quickly hid herself in the bathtub, shouting in alarm, "Who is it? How dare you! Get out of here right now!"
"Are you really going to let me out?" the Great Demon King asked teasingly, a rare moment of good mood. He then saw Luo Zhiheng stiffen and laughed, "What are you panicking about? It's me."
A murderous glint flashed in Luo Zhiheng's eyes, and her voice became even more delicate: "Your Excellency! How could you barge in like this? I'm taking a bath! Please leave quickly, it wouldn't be good if someone saw me."
The fog obscured everything, making everything appear and disappear indistinct. What was wrong with that? The Great Demon King was displeased. For the first time, he had taken an interest in a woman, so naturally, he couldn't leave easily. He walked further in, his voice laced with amusement: "What are you afraid of? You are my wife. It's not an exaggeration for me to see you no matter what."
Luo Zhiheng seemed very flustered. In her panic, she actually stood up, but then quickly sat down again after realizing something. The water splashed up and then fell back down. The mist in the room, which was originally filled with steam, was cleared by the sudden gust of wind, and the scene became clear.
The fiery red gauze curtains couldn't conceal the hazy mist in the room. Hidden within the mist, a bewitching, exquisite figure gradually disappeared into the vast pool. Her long hair was gathered to one side of her chest, and her beautiful back seemed to conceal a butterfly about to take flight. In a panic, she slowly turned her face, revealing only a third of her jade-like face, still veiled, allowing only a glimpse of her features. The Great Demon King stood at the doorway, dumbfounded and parched, a surge of lust rising in his lower abdomen.
She's absolutely a succubus who torments men!
The Demon King quickened his pace, but strangely, even though it was only a short distance, it felt like he could walk for ages and still not reach the person who was right in front of him, yet he couldn't reach her even if he reached out. What was going on?
"Jun'er, come here," the Great Demon King commanded succinctly. With such beauty before him, he had lost all sense of caution; even though things seemed illogical, he didn't give them a second thought.
Luo Zhiheng obediently turned around and hid in the bathtub, watching him. Her bright, beautiful, and alluring eyes seemed to bewitch him, looking at him charmingly. The great demon king couldn't help but feel guilty and restless, his blood boiling. He wished he could immediately pin the woman in front of him down and ravage her!
"I don't want to go over there, you're so fierce. Why don't you come over here?" Luo Zhiheng said with a smile, charming and alluring.
The Demon King felt his body was about to explode, and quickened his pace, trying to get closer to her. But damn it, what was wrong with this woman? Why couldn't he catch her? Just when the Demon King thought he was about to grab Luo Zhiheng, he found that no one was in front of him. The pretty woman from just now had suddenly disappeared!
"Jun'er?!" The Great Demon King exclaimed in surprise, genuinely anxious for a moment.
"Are you looking for me, Your Excellency?" A charming voice sounded behind the Great Demon King, carrying an indescribable air of noble coldness.
The Demon King turned around in surprise, but the instant he saw Luo Zhiheng's beautiful eyes, a blood-red whip mark flew out like a ghost, instantly tracing across his neck, coiling and tightening. The Demon King's pupils constricted; all his amazement and infatuation shattered in the moment of impending suffocation!
Second update! That's all for today. Still asking for recommendation votes, comments, and monthly tickets. Group hug! Does this product really work for burns? My toes got scalded by boiling water. Luckily I was wearing thick cotton slippers, otherwise it would have been awful. It still hurts so much! What should I do if I don't have any burn ointment? I can only buy some tomorrow, but what should I do today? I'm afraid to sleep because I'm worried about touching my toes.
528. Saw through!

The moment the blood-red whip struck the Great Demon King, it was as if a giant dragon had awakened. The oppressive aura spread out from the braid, and a blood-red light instantly surged forth. In the blink of an eye, the braid swelled up, quickly growing to the thickness of an infant's arm. Moreover, many barbs grew on the whip itself, and light flowed from the whip, filling the room layer by layer.
"What the hell is this?!" The Great Demon King roared in a fit of rage, his eyes turning blood red in an instant. He froze on the spot, feeling extremely uncomfortable and somewhat afraid of the aura emanating from the whip itself.
There are very few things in this world that can truly frighten the demon race, but this is one of them. Therefore, he dared not act rashly.
"A good thing that can kill you!" Luo Zhiheng forcefully wrapped the whip around my waist, smiled coldly, her face filled with murderous intent.
A look of surprise and gloom crossed my face, tinged with disbelief and rage. I gritted my teeth and said, "You want to kill me?!"
This woman was the first woman he had ever set his sights on and fallen for, making him uncontrollably attracted to her, eager to see her and possess her, and fueling his desire. This woman was extraordinary, and in his eyes, she was a perfect being; only such a woman was worthy of him.
He never intended to give up on this woman from the start! But ridiculously, this woman actually wanted to kill him? The Great Demon King was enraged.
"I'm going to kill you!" Luo Zhiheng said fiercely, and then launched an attack with great momentum. The whip in her hands seemed to have a life of its own, and she twirled the whip as if she were roasting the great demon king on a flame. The whip was whipped around and produced a sharp and terrifying sound.
The Great Demon King possessed Mu Yunhe's body, and he could feel pain, a truly uncomfortable sensation. His face was pale, but he didn't immediately retaliate, shouting fiercely, "Why? What reason do you have to kill me!"
"Do I need a reason to kill you? Your crimes are unforgivable, that is the reason!" Luo Zhiheng roared, her anger burning. She lashed out with the end of her whip, using the barbs to strike Mu Yunhe's body hard. She struck Mu Yunhe's body! In Luo Zhiheng's eyes, the man before her was still the man she loved. Seeing her beloved man's body covered in wounds, her heart ached.
But this man is no longer her Yunhe. A demon dwells in his body. Her Yunhe is gone. She has no way out now and can only fight with all her might.
The Great Demon King still harbored a sliver of hope. If this woman's target for revenge was Mu Yunhe, and not him, then he could forgive Xun Jun. Even now, he remained firmly and arrogantly convinced of his judgment: this woman was unaware that he had taken over Mu Yunhe's body; she simply had a grudge against Mu Yunhe.
He maintained his composed demeanor, enduring the pain with all his might, and asked expectantly, "Are you going to kill Mu Yunhe?"
Luo Zhiheng found the Great Demon King's self-deception laughable. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Stop daydreaming! I'm looking for you! Get out of Mu Yunhe's body right now!"
Now that things had come to this point, it was impossible for the Great Demon King to pretend to be confused. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, the first time he had experienced such intense rage. He also felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. He roared, "Why? Haven't I treated you well? I've made you my wife and given you unparalleled honor. Isn't that enough to move you?"
"I don't care about your stuff. What are you? How can you compare to Mu Yunhe? Get out of Mu Yunhe's body right now and fight me if you dare," Luo Zhiheng sneered coldly and disgustedly.
The Demon King's eyes nearly turned green with rage as he roared through gritted teeth, "How did you know my identity? How do you know I replaced Mu Yunhe? Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Mu Yunhe?"
The Demon King's words were filled with jealousy, envy, and ruthlessness, as if Luo Zhiheng were truly his wife, and that she had done something to betray him, so he had come to arrest and annihilate her in a fit of rage.
Luo Zhiheng raised her eyebrows, her cold eyes and ruthless aura unable to conceal her beauty. She said coldly, "What right does this imposter have to question me? It's just the way things are. You can't hide what you are from the world forever. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it! You're not Mu Yunhe, that's all I know."
"What exactly is your relationship with him? Are you lovers? Or is he one of his mistresses?" The Great Demon King was quite bothered by this question and refused to let it go. From the moment he saw Luo Zhiheng, he regarded this woman as his woman. How could other men lay a finger on or covet his woman? He could not tolerate Luo Zhiheng being involved with other men.
"I don't have time to waste with you. Are you going to get out of here or not?" Luo Zhiheng roared.
"Get out? From this body? You care about Mu Yunhe, huh? You're even thinking of getting me out of this body. What are you trying to do? Do you think Mu Yunhe is still alive and you're keeping his body for him? Hahahaha, you're dreaming! Let me tell you, Mu Yunhe has been destroyed by me, not even a trace left!" The Great Demon King laughed viciously.
He was clearly deliberately trying to scare and provoke Luo Zhiheng; he simply loathed that Luo Zhiheng liked Mu Yunhe and other men! This woman was clearly the one he had his eye on; such a perfect woman should have been sent to him by heaven! So when he learned that Luo Zhiheng liked other men, he was furious. Even when Luo Zhiheng targeted him for the sake of other men, his jealousy of Luo Zhiheng's feelings was far more ferocious and manic.
But when he saw Luo Zhiheng's expression change drastically because of his words, when he saw the horror and pain in Luo Zhiheng's beautiful eyes that drove him mad, the Great Demon King began to feel intensely dissatisfied again. His provocation made him see the intensity and depth of Luo Zhiheng's feelings for Mu Yunhe. He was unwilling and wished he could really kill Mu Yunhe!
"You really hurt him? You actually dared to touch Yun He! You deserve to die!!" Luo Zhiheng screamed uncontrollably.
Thinking about it is one thing, but hearing it with your own ears and confirming it is another. She didn't want to be separated from Mu Yunhe. Death wasn't scary; if Mu Yunhe were really gone, she would follow him without hesitation. But she would feel resentful, sad, and hate the person who killed Mu Yunhe.
This culprit is what made it impossible for her and Mu Yunhe to continue their loving relationship. People who don't understand love can't comprehend this kind of pain!
"You deserve to die! You advanced to the True Body realm, and you seduced me all for that damned Mu Yunhe, didn't you? You actually used your beauty for him, how dare you! You toyed with my feelings, and you even dared to betray me, you despicable person!" The Great Demon King roared in a fit of rage.
"It's pointless to talk to a beast like you! Die!" Luo Zhiheng had practically gone mad, even her eyes had turned their original red uncontrollably. The scarlet color was intense, her beautiful eyes almost ferocious, and her whip lashed out fiercely, each strike aimed at the vulnerable parts of her body.
The Demon King was in pain all over, but his body was entangled by the whip. The whip also had a strange power that suppressed him, and he could not easily break free. He could only endure the pain brought by the whip.
He stared intently at Luo Zhiheng, never expecting this woman to be so ruthless, so determined to kill him, even wishing she could kill him right now!
How foolish he was to fall for a woman the moment he saw her, and to become hopelessly infatuated with her. But this damned woman, did she really treat his promises as a joke? Did she just see and hear them and then forget about them? Not only was she unmoved, but she also hated him so much. She took his sincere heart for granted. How could he, with his pride, bear this?
This was the first time he had given his true feelings, even if it was just for a brief encounter. But love at first sight is more intense and overwhelming than anything else! The Great Demon King fell in love with this woman, and after falling in love, he couldn't help but lower his guard. He trusted her, but how could this woman treat him like this! This is betrayal! Unforgivable!
Hmph, since this woman wants to kill him and betray him, then don't blame him for turning his back on her!
"Have you had enough?" the Great Demon King suddenly said in a gloomy tone, looking at Luo Zhiheng as if she were a clown.
Luo Zhiheng's out-of-control emotions suddenly calmed down. She glared at the Great Demon King, panting heavily, as if she saw mockery in his eyes. She couldn't help feeling a little dazed; those eyes were Yun He's eyes, and she felt as if she had just seen Yun He looking at her like that.
Just as she was in a daze, the Great Demon King spoke: "Now that you've finished your performance, it's my turn! You will pay the price for your betrayal and your crazy behavior just now!"
Just as Luo Zhiheng was surprised, she suddenly saw the Demon King, who was tightly bound by the whip, suddenly strain, his face turning red, as if trying to break free from the whip. Luo Zhiheng instinctively exclaimed in a show of courage, "You refuse to break free from this whip!"
As if mocking her ignorance, the whip suddenly split open, releasing a thin gust of wind, and the Demon King instantly broke free. In a few flashes, he landed a few steps behind, looking at her with a mocking and sinister expression, and grinned maliciously, "Impossible? Nothing is impossible for me! Little Jun'er, are you afraid?"
Luo Zhiheng was shocked. The demoness had said that the whip could restrain a soul, but it wasn't extremely powerful. She hadn't held out any hope, but seeing that the Great Demon King hadn't broken free of the whip, she assumed that if she could, the whip could too. But she never expected that the Great Demon King was so powerful that he had broken free!
Without the whip, how could she possibly fight the Great Demon King? Now that they've already alerted him and broken off all pretense, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous to say it was a misunderstanding or a joke?
Luo Zhiheng, having gone this far, coldly said, "What do I have to be afraid of? I'm not the one who did anything wrong! Who exactly are you? Why are you taking over Mu Yunhe's body? How can I get out?"
"So you're planning to negotiate with me? Why didn't you have a proper talk with me just now? Maybe you would have had a chance to kill me while we were talking? Now, it's too late. I will never spare the life of someone who betrays me and tries to kill me. Even if that person is you, the woman I've fallen for!" The Great Demon King pointed at Luo Zhiheng and grinned sinisterly as he slowly walked over.
Seeing him approach, Luo Zhiheng quickly pushed back, but she didn't seem panicked; rather, she seemed more disgusted and repulsed.
"You're afraid of me? Where did your courage to kill me go? Come, don't be afraid. Although it would be a pity to kill you, before I do, I want to taste you. That way, I can savor you later when I miss you." The Great Demon King said with a lewd grin, his obscene words and wicked tone making people nauseous.
"You're dreaming!" Luo Zhiheng's expression changed drastically, and her breathing became rapid, clearly showing her nervousness.
The Great Demon King was still approaching step by step, his face bearing Mu Yunhe's features making him appear almost unrecognizable. Yet, his smile and aura originated from his very soul, filled with darkness and evil, making even his handsome appearance repulsive.
"This can't be a dream. Mu Yunhe is dead now, so why should you be loyal to him? As long as you behave yourself and are loyal to me from now on, forget Mu Yunhe, and stay by my side, I will let you go if you agree to these things, how about that?" The Great Demon King said as he approached Bian Huo.
Luo Zhiheng sneered repeatedly, no longer backing down, and said with her head held high, "I will only be loyal to Mu Yunhe in this life, and you and I can only fight to the death. There are only two outcomes for us today, it's either you die or I die!"
"You bastard! How dare you speak to me like that? You're courting death!" The Great Demon King roared furiously. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared in front of Luo Zhiheng. Luo Zhiheng only felt a blur before a cold, large hand gripped her throat, the force almost suffocating her.
"Say it again! You dare say those words again!" The Great Demon King lowered his head, almost touching Luo Zhiheng's eyes. There wasn't even an inch between them. They glared at each other fiercely, with the Great Demon King looking completely insane.
Luo Zhiheng forced a mocking smile, her eyes filled with coldness and disgust, and said with difficulty, "I will only be loyal to Mu Yunhe in this life! It's either you or me who dies!!"
"How dare you!" The Great Demon King was driven mad by Luo Zhiheng's stubbornness. The closer he got to this woman, the more his heart pounded. Despite how humiliating this was for him, he couldn't bear to kill her. This was the first time the Great Demon King had ever felt such tenderness towards a woman; he truly couldn't bear to harm her in the slightest.
Luo Zhiheng merely sneered, showing no fear of the Great Demon King's roar or the increasingly fierce force of his hand. Her icy gaze met the Great Demon King's directly, her pride seemingly as unyielding as Mount Tai, her spirit unyielding and unyielding to the death.
"What a stubborn one! Such a delicate face, yet such a defiant soul! You truly surprise and delight me time and time again! Seeing you like this, I've suddenly changed my mind. I won't kill you. Do you think I'd kill you so you can meet Mu Yunhe in the underworld? You're dreaming! I'll keep you by my side, let you live, let you live in agony! Don't you hate seeing me? Don't you despise me? Then I'll make sure you see me every day, and live in constant agony!"
The Demon King gripped Luo Zhiheng's neck tightly, roaring and snarling viciously, his eyes bloodshot with rage. His grip tightened uncontrollably, cracking Luo Zhiheng's slender neck. As he watched her face flush red and her expression turn blank, a flicker of heartache and embarrassment crossed his eyes.
Just as Luo Zhiheng felt she was about to suffocate and die, the Great Demon King suddenly released her, shoved her violently to the ground, and declared from his superior position, "I don't want you to die, I want you to suffer a fate worse than death! Don't want to be my woman? Hmph, I'll make you my woman anyway! And I'll make you pleasing me every day!"
Luo Zhiheng fell heavily to the ground. The skin where the Great Demon King had touched her throbbed with a burning sensation, the pain unbearable. The Great Demon King's words terrified her even more. She jerked her head up, but the movement aggravated her injured neck. With a snap, she screamed in pain and fell to the ground again.
The Demon King found the sound heavenly, and seeing such a delicate woman lying there filled him with a surge of rage and a desire for revenge. He instinctively walked towards Luo Zhiheng, grabbed her, and roughly dragged her to the bedside.
Luo Zhiheng was terrified and screamed, ignoring the pain, "What are you doing! Let me go, you beast!"
"A beast? I'll show you the most powerful and ruthless beast in the world! I'll show you how a beast can give you endless pleasure!" The Great Demon King grinned maliciously, picked up Luo Zhiheng, and strode towards the large bed in the outer room.
Luo Zhiheng struggled and twisted frantically the whole way, but the Great Demon King slapped her buttocks hard. Luo Zhiheng was so ashamed and angry that she could only bite Mu Yunhe's ear hard. She knew that the Great Demon King must also feel something when he possessed Mu Yunhe's body, so she bit hard.
"Hmph!" He grunted and forcefully threw Luo Zhiheng away. With a scream, Luo Zhiheng fell onto the bed. The impact almost dislocated her internal organs, and her whole body ached terribly. She couldn't get up for a long time.
Luo Zhiheng is too vulnerable right now, her fighting power greatly weakened. Has her desperate gamble and madness only resulted in her being buried in bed? No, she refuses to accept it! Calm down, she needs to calm down! Luo Zhiheng told herself this. She tried her best to conserve her strength and build up her power, preparing to strike when the opportunity presented itself.
"Bite? I'd much rather your little mouth could bite other parts of me. But don't you care about Mu Yunhe? How could you bring yourself to bite me? You know this body belongs to Mu Yunhe, whom you care about most. Wouldn't you be heartbroken if you damaged it? But I also feel it's a pity. I want to cherish you, but now I can only do so with this body you like. It's truly uncomfortable. But since I still need Mu Yunhe's body to achieve my goals, I can only make myself suffer. Just consider it me making you Mu Yunhe's woman. I don't care about playing with a—used shoe!" the Great Demon King said viciously.
Luo Zhiheng remained silent, motionless as if she had been thrown to her death. But the Great Demon King knew she was conscious.
"You think you can escape this by playing dead? Your mistake was using your beauty to seduce me. If you had come to kill me directly, perhaps I would have given you a quick death and allowed you to die with dignity. But you used your beauty to seduce me! What are you going to do now? I'm truly bewitched by you. I've fallen for you. Now, I'm going to have you! This is your own doing, Luo Zhiheng!" The Great Demon King spoke slowly, the last three words exploding in the room like a thunderclap. He practically spat them out, his words filled with resentment and vicious mockery!
Luo Zhiheng could no longer pretend. She struggled to lift her head and open her eyes, staring at the Great Demon King with horror in her eyes. The ferocious smile on the Great Demon King's face at this moment made her feel incredulous.
The Great Demon King raised Mu Yunhe's eyebrows and grinned sinisterly, his eyes filled with undisguised shock and astonishment as he said, "Are you shocked that I knew this?"
"I don't understand what nonsense you're spouting! Now that you're in a superior position and think you're so great, you can just spout whatever you want." Luo Zhiheng even gasped for breath as she spoke. Her feigned composure only revealed her inner turmoil.
Isn't this unbelievable? This thing actually saw through her true identity! How could this be? She clearly has a different appearance, and her soul essence has been hidden by the demon girl. Even Mu Yunhe couldn't recognize her immediately. How did this inhuman soul manage to do that? Could it be that it's deceiving her?
"Don't rush to deny it. Do you think you can deceive me with these words? Do you know that from the first moment I saw you, I sensed something different from your body? At first, I didn't understand what that feeling was, but just now, when I said I wanted you, that feeling in your body became even stronger, and I finally realized that the feeling is called resentment and hatred! You hate me!" the Great Demon King said in a gloomy tone.
Luo Zhiheng remained noncommittal, looking at him calmly, as if she wasn't afraid of what he said, or that whatever he said was a lie.
The Great Demon King wasn't in a hurry and continued, "But I didn't know you before, yet your hatred is so intense, and you're not a descendant of the Heavenly Palace. A mortal like you couldn't possibly know my true background unless someone told you. And that person couldn't possibly be Mu Yunhe. Mu Yunhe hasn't met anyone named Xun Jun from the very beginning; even if he'd seen you, he wouldn't have had the chance to tell you these things. And Mu Yunhe's attitude towards you is too strange. He seems to despise you so much that I ignored you, thinking you were insignificant. But, as it turns out, I was wrong. I was actually deceived right under Mu Yunhe's nose! Humph!"
"Mu Yunhe's attitude towards you is nothing more than protection. He is protecting you, and I didn't even realize it at first. But why do you deserve Mu Yunhe's protection? Do you know why Mu Yunhe brought so many women into the manor? It's because he wants to cover up the scent of a woman, a scent that only that woman has, a scent that is unique. As long as I remember that scent, I can find that woman through that scent, no matter where that woman is in the world."
