The little book was already quite worn out from the previous inexplicable self-immolations. Lu Pianpian carefully examined it several times, and only after seeing that the book was no longer damaged did she put it back in her arms.
At that moment, Xiao Shu's inner voice rang out: "Pianpian, he is the Little Demon King Langxu! You must be careful!"
"As expected of the wordless book, it knew my identity so quickly."
Lu Pianpian looked up at Lang Xu in surprise. Even her master couldn't hear his conversation with Xiao Shu. Just who was this little demon king?
Langxu met Lu Pianpian's gaze and laughed arrogantly, "What a pity, what a pity, your master doesn't remember."
Huan Changming calmly sized up the man. "What do you want?"
"Oh, how come you don't remember either?" Langxu looked Huan Changming up and down with amusement. "This is my Yao territory. Shouldn't I be asking you two what you want to do?"
He spoke in a familiar tone, as if they were old acquaintances, but Lu Pianpian and Huan Changming were certain they had never seen him before.
The naive girl, Pink Pig, still remembered Lu Pianpian's words, "Shopkeeper, if the guests want to know the territory of the Flower Fairy Clan, just tell them!"
"The Flower Demon Clan's territory? Go to that place..." Langxu seemed to be thinking for a moment, and then, as if he had thought of something, he easily said the location, "Go two hundred miles east, there is a sea of butterfly flowers, that is the Flower Demon Clan's territory."
After saying that, he smiled gently at Lu Pianpian and Huan Changming, "If you two guests wish to go, please do so."
His change in attitude was quite drastic, and Huan Changming had a natural aversion to this man. "Why should we believe you?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you two. I was just answering casually," Langxu replied with interest. "However, judging from the person next to you, it seems that he has already believed it."
Huan Changming looked at Lu Pianpian and found her deep in thought. "Senior brother?"
Lu Pianpian snapped out of her daze, took Huan Changming's hand, and said, "Let's go."
"But……"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon enough." Lu Pianpian gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll protect you."
Lu Pianpian had made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion from Huan Changming could change it. As she left, she glanced up at Lang Xu, a veiled warning: if he dared to deceive them, she would never let him off the hook.
Langxu watched the two of them leave hand in hand, his face full of interest.
The pink pig girl asked with some doubt, "Two hundred miles to the east? Wasn't that place already a dead zone?"
How could this place, a mere inch or a hundred miles wide, be the territory of the beautiful and delicate flower fairies, where nothing but inanimate objects and powerful demons have taken over?
Langxu chuckled and patted the pink pig girl's head. "Who knows?"
Lu Pianpian led Huan Changming on their swords eastward until dusk, when they finally saw the sea of butterfly flowers that Langxu had described.
As soon as Lu Pianpian landed, he noticed the strangeness of this sea of flowers. He took out the luminous pearl, bent down and carefully examined the butterfly flowers. He found that although these flowers were blooming beautifully, each one exuded a painful emotion. It seemed that some dark pain shrouded them, making them lifeless and listless.
It is known that flowers, plants, and trees are all sentient beings. These butterfly flowers exude such a mournful aura, so something bad must have happened to them.
Lu Pianpian put away the luminous pearl and turned around to tell Huan Changming not to leave her, but found him squatting on the ground, curled up and trembling.
"Junior sister, what's wrong?"
Lu Pianpian helped Huan Changming up. Huan's face was flushed, he was breathing heavily, and his forehead was soon covered with sweat.
He endured the pain and said, "I... I'm having a relapse."
The scene that unfolded in the frost that night flashed into Lu Pianpian's mind, and he said helplessly, "How...how can I help you?"
Huan Changming grabbed Lu Pianpian's collar and brought his lips to hers, "Kiss me..."
A note from the author:
Lu Pianpian: How could I do such a beastly thing!
Then there are my other two pre-order novels, which really need your angelic readers' collection QAQ, here is a synopsis;
1. "I Am the Tyrant's White Moonlight" (I'll add an extra chapter if this book gets over 500 pre-orders!!)
[A paranoid tyrant with illness inside and out x A cold and abstinent saintly son]
After dying once, Ze Jin discovered that he was the villain in the novel. He was vengeful, treacherous, and cunning. He predicted that the male protagonist, Yin Huo, was a harbinger of disaster, turning him into a fierce and vengeful ghost that everyone feared and kept at a distance. Yin Huo was imprisoned in a certain world until his death.
But the male protagonist is the male protagonist after all. Not only was he not imprisoned to death, but he also forced the emperor to abdicate, commanded the heroes, and died at the hands of the mutinous army.
The seventh prince, Yin Huo, was a cruel and ruthless tyrant in the eyes of the Chen Kingdom, but in Ze Jin's eyes, he was a real madman.
Even in death, Ze Jin could never forget the way Yin Huo looked at him—mad and obsessive, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
The first scene after his rebirth is when Ze Jin, as the holy son of Chen, prophesies that Yin Huo is a jinx, and Yin Huo is pinned to the ground by guards and about to be imprisoned.
Ze Jin stood high up, dressed in pure white robes, like a god.
Yin Huo was pressed to the ground by the guards, like the mud beneath his feet.
Ze Jin lowered his eyes and met Yin Huo's gaze on the ground. Yin Huo smiled coldly at him.
Ze Jin: "..." Is it too late to retract the prophecy now?
A casual prophecy from the Holy Son turned the favored prince, the seventh prince Yin Huo, into a vengeful demon despised by all.
His family abandoned him, his palace servants bullied him, and his old enemies broke his legs. He became a capricious cripple, rotting in a cage, ignored by everyone except one person—
Heal his legs, drive away his enemies, and painstakingly manage his affairs to help him escape his prison.
He always appears whenever he is about to die.
He is the god of Inho.
On the day Yin Huo forced the emperor to abdicate, he led his men to search the entire palace but could not find him.
When he arrived at the Holy Son's palace, intending to kill the seemingly righteous Holy Son to vent his anger, he discovered that the Holy Son was wearing the jade pendant that he had given him.
He grabbed Ze Jin and slammed him against the wall, hissing as he demanded, "Where is the owner of this jade pendant? Tell me, and I'll spare your life."
Ze Jin: "If I said I was the owner of the jade pendant, would you believe me?"
#That's right, I'm both the ideal man and the arch-enemy#
#I survived under the tyrant by changing my online identity#
2. *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!#
Chapter 24
The crescent moonlight draped a hazy veil over the sea of butterfly flowers, like a woman half-concealing her face while playing the pipa.
Deep within the sea of flowers, two figures intertwined.
Lu Pianpian's hands stiffly pressed into the butterfly flower beneath her, her whole body tense and afraid to move an inch.
Huan Changming supported himself above him, cupping his face in his hands, and sucking on his lips almost fiercely.
His jaw had long been invaded; his lips and teeth were intertwined, pressed tightly together.
Huan Changming's increasingly heavy breathing reached his ear. Lu Pianpian crushed the butterfly flower in her palm, and the juice stained his nails.
He was breathless from the kiss and turned his head away in resistance, but Huan Changming turned him back and kissed him with even more force than before.
Huan Changming reassured him in a hoarse voice, "Don't move, it will be over soon."
When is "soon"? Lu Pianpian didn't know.
He looked up at his junior sister's beautiful face, flushed with infatuation, and his consciousness began to cloud...
Huan Changming kissed Lu Pianpian for a long time until they were interrupted by the cry of a crow.
Lu Pianpian shoved Huan Changming away and sat up abruptly from the flowers. Huan Changming, caught off guard, fell face-first into a mouthful of butterfly flowers.
"Who?" Lu Pianpian warily tossed a sword incantation towards the sea of flowers.
The thing he struck let out a scream, then transformed into a wisp of purple smoke in human form and flew out from the butterfly flower he was possessing, repeatedly apologizing: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to disturb your romantic evening!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire sea of butterfly flowers within a ten-mile radius withered and died instantly.
Huan Changming's body was still aching slightly, but it was much better than before, and he could barely bear it.
He crawled out from a pile of withered flowers, looking at the mysterious thing with displeasure. "Since you know you're bothering us, why don't you get lost?"
"Junior Sister!" Lu Pianpian wanted to cover Huan Changming's unbridled mouth, "Don't talk nonsense..."
"I didn't mean to, I can't escape this sea of flowers, I can only wander here!"
Lu Pianpian coughed twice to cover her embarrassment. "Who are you? This sea of flowers is all an illusion, isn't it? You should also be in a state of soul separation right now. Where is your body? If you don't hurry back, you will become a wandering ghost."
"I am Lan Jun, an orchid spirit of the flower fairy clan... You are right, these flowers are indeed illusions, but I did not create them. I cannot return to my body now; if I did, I would suffer a fate worse than death!"
Lu Pianpian's purpose in coming to the demon realm was to find the flower demon clan. Hearing Lan Jun say this, he asked, "Have you encountered some difficulties?"
Lan Jun floated to Lu Pianpian's side and circled her once, her eyes showing surprise. "Why do I feel so familiar with your aura?"
Lu Pianpian guessed, "Maybe it's because I cultivate immortality?"
Huan Changming snorted inwardly. It wasn't because of any cultivation, but because he had to meddle in every little thing. Those who wanted help naturally followed the scent to him.
"You're a cultivator?" Lan Jun retreated in alarm. "You're not here to take me away, are you?"
Lu Pianpian sincerely said to him, "If you haven't done anything bad, I won't hurt you. We cultivators also have principles; we don't just indiscriminately kill demons."
