Therefore, the demon god did something that was absolutely disgraceful to his status—he ran away!
"Run! If you're so tough, then don't run!" Liu Lanyan shouted as she chased after her. Did she think she was easy to bully?
The Demon God never imagined that one day he would be chased and forced to hide in his own Dustless Palace. It really was...
well……
This feeling is hard to describe.
The demon god, who was fleeing at high speed, did not see Liu Lanyan, who was chasing after him, with a happy smile on her face.
Aside from a brief sneak attack last night, he didn't do anything else. He showed great self-control and respect for her.
Before she fell asleep, she was soaking in a hot spring; she was actually more shy than angry.
After all, it's such a private matter, she can always be a little shy, right?
Well, as a demon god, he's always sitting in a chair. It would be good for him to get some exercise occasionally, right?
She helped him exercise.
She really meant well.
Well, the demon god is so intelligent, he will surely understand her greatness, so there's no need to be too moved.
This is what she should do.
Chapter 86 Daring to Compete with Him
Below the Dustless Palace, inside the Dustless Abode, Peng Zhen had just thrown away all the porcelain shards he was holding when a sinister voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Sneak attack..."
"What? A sneak attack? A sneak attack on whom?" Peng Zhen jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glaring fiercely in the direction of the voice.
A faint power flickered in his hand, condensed but not unleashed; it seemed that with the slightest provocation, he would immediately launch a full-force attack.
A man in black emerged from behind the tree, looking at Peng Zhen strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Upon closer inspection of the person and recognizing them as someone he knew, Peng Zhen withdrew the demonic power he was about to unleash and breathed a sigh of relief: "An Er, did you scare me to death?"
An Er looked Peng Zhen up and down, unable to understand why this fearless steward would be frightened.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, An Er continued what he hadn't finished saying earlier: "Ambush..."
"What's wrong with sneak attacking?" Upon hearing these two words, Peng Zhen's body inexplicably trembled, and his expression changed.
"The list of the best ambush fighters in the Demon Realm has been compiled." As he spoke, An Er handed Peng Zhen a thin booklet.
"Oh, oh, I see." Upon hearing that it was about this, Peng Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, accepted the offer, and returned to normal.
"I'll go check it out. Keep people watching, and don't let any movement from those people in the demon realm escape." Peng Zhen, now back to normal, was still quite clear-headed. After giving these two simple instructions, he turned and left.
He still needs to study the booklet in his hand carefully.
“Peng Zhen…” An Er suddenly called out to him from behind.
"Hmm? Is there something else?" Peng Zhen turned around in surprise. An Er wasn't the type to be forgetful, so why didn't he finish speaking in one go?
An Er asked curiously, "A sneak attack... what happened?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Peng Zhen stumble and nearly fall.
An Er narrowed his eyes curiously; there was definitely something fishy going on.
Peng Zhen's behavior has been abnormal ever since he heard those two words. What's wrong?
"Hmm, it's none of your business, don't pry." Peng Zhen waved his hand impatiently. How was he supposed to explain this?
Let alone whether it can be explained clearly, it's questionable whether the Lord will have any good days after he finds out.
The more Peng Zhen remained silent, the more suspicious An Er became, and subconsciously asked, "Was the Venerable Lord ambushed?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud thud was heard, and Peng Zhen, who had been unsteady on his feet since earlier, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
An Er was so startled he almost jumped up, his killing intent instantly bursting forth as he coldly and fiercely demanded, "Who dares to ambush the Lord?"
Peng Zhen quickly got up from the ground, waving his hands repeatedly to dissuade him: "No, no, you've misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" For An Er, who is single-mindedly focused on protecting his master, could the simple word "misunderstanding" possibly sway him?
"It really wasn't anyone who wanted to ambush the Lord." After Peng Zhen finished speaking, he was met with a completely suspicious look from An Er, which immediately angered Peng Zhen. Was he the kind of person who would lie?
And they even lied about the safety of the Lord?
This is a questioning of his loyalty to the Lord.
Therefore, in a moment of impulsiveness, Peng Zhen blurted out without thinking, "It was the Venerable One who ambushed Miss Liu!"
As soon as the thoughtless words left his mouth, Peng Zhen immediately fell silent.
An Er glanced at Peng Zhen with a slight puzzlement, then understood what kind of sneak attack he was referring to. He awkwardly replied with an "um," and then immediately disappeared into the shadows.
He knew nothing and heard nothing.
Peng Zhen took deep breaths in front of the spot where An Er had just stood. Damn An Er, he managed to get him to talk, but he pretended nothing had happened.
He quickly looked around, and luckily no one else was nearby to hear him, so he pretended he hadn't said anything.
Nothing happened just now.
Inside the Wuchen Palace, Liu Lanyan, exhausted from playing, washed up and went to bed. The demon god, who had been "miserably" punished, helplessly walked into the hot spring, took off his white robe, and looked helplessly at his bruised and battered waist.
Why does Lanyan like to pinch this spot?
Thinking of her "vicious" revenge, the demon god couldn't help but smile.
She said that since he made her swollen, she wanted to leave some marks on his body.
After he obediently tilted his head back and offered his lips, he felt a dull pain in his side, realizing that the place where she wanted to leave the mark was different from what he had imagined.
Soaking in the hot spring, the demon god touched his lips with some regret.
It's such a pity, why didn't Lan Yan just retaliate directly? He would have cooperated perfectly.
Fortunately, Liu Lanyan had already gone back to her room to sleep. If she had known the Demon God's thoughts, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just getting revenge.
After resting for a day, Liu Lanyan went to see Qin Ming again.
When she appeared in front of Qin Ming, Qin Ming, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. His eyes seemed to have a sharpness that could see right through a person.
"Soul leaving the body. Liu Lanyan, not only did I underestimate you, but I'm afraid Elder Li, no, no, even King Jing underestimated you." Qin Ming said slowly, his dejected demeanor from the day before completely transformed into that of the composed demon general on the battlefield.
Liu Lanyan merely smiled at Qin Ming's assessment, her gaze shifting to the booklet on the stone table: "Is it already written?"
"Hmm." Qin Ming nodded casually, watching Liu Lanyan pick it up and put it in her pocket.
With a flick of her finger, Liu Lanyan caused the white light covering the cave entrance to immediately dissipate, and a cool mountain breeze blew in, making his body float for a moment.
Indeed, the soul state is not the best form of existence in this world.
Fortunately, Liu Lanyan had reinforced his soul, so it would not be blown away or cause him to lose his mind.
"My power is limited. I advise you, if you sense something is wrong, leave and go to the underworld," Liu Lanyan said as she walked to the cave entrance.
If her power were applied to herself, the effect would naturally be much better, but if she used external force to impose it on Qin Ming, the result would only be to maintain the status quo.
"I still have things to do." Qin Ming understood Liu Lanyan's advice, which was indeed true, but he still had things on his mind.
"You'd better take care of yourself." Since that's the case, Liu Lanyan didn't need to persuade him anymore. His life was his own. Qin Ming had already lost his life. Now, taking a soul might be more about understanding his last wish. He probably didn't care about anything else.
After saying that, Liu Lanyan was about to leave, but Qin Ming stopped her in her tracks with a single sentence: "Aren't you going to take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" Liu Lanyan asked Qin Ming with a puzzled look. Wasn't that a bit too nonsensical?
"Aren't you afraid that what you're given is fake?" Qin Ming chuckled, but the meaning behind his laugh was unclear.
"It doesn't matter, it's better than me having nothing at all." Liu Lanyan didn't pay much attention to this statement, smiled, turned around, and disappeared from Qin Ming's sight.
The mountain breeze filled the cave, bringing a refreshing coolness that left Qin Ming momentarily bewildered. His obsession ran so deep, but now that he was truly free to move around, he didn't know what to do.
This time, not much power was used, so after her soul returned to its place, Liu Lanyan was not so tired.
I looked at the booklet and studied its contents carefully.
Besides the Demon Emperor, there are three princes in the Demon Realm, each holding a place in the Demon Realm and dominating their respective regions.
On the surface, they seem to be getting along well, but aren't they scheming against each other?
Judging from the actions of the demon god, it is clear that the people of the demon realm do not agree on the relationship between the demon and demon realms.
When things escalate to the point of involving both sides, they become very complicated.
Liu Lanyan propped her cheek on her hand and stared at what Qin Ming had written in front of her. Of course, she wasn't naive enough to believe that Qin Ming would betray the Demon Realm and write down everything about it for her.
However, it still has some research value, at least it clarifies the general relationships within the demon realm.
It's unclear whether those forces are friend or foe; she'll have to analyze the specifics herself.
She currently has limited manpower, so it's best not to make any rash moves and just wait and see.
After Qin Ming's death, the Demon Realm will always react.
On the other side, in the Demon Realm, or more precisely, in Elder Li's realm.
Elder Li looked at Liu Xinya, who was sitting upright in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction: "This matter has been suppressed, but you should know how to arrange Qin Ming's funeral."
“Yes, I understand.” Liu Xinya nodded. “Qin Ming knew his sins were unforgivable, so he committed suicide to atone for them. We will give him a simple burial, in accordance with Qin Ming’s last wishes.”
"Have you dealt with Qin Ming's men?" Elder Li asked, quite satisfied with Liu Xinya's arrangements.
Qin Ming is a general of the Demon Realm, and he has many trusted subordinates. If they really cause trouble, it would be quite troublesome, if not terrifying.
"I'll handle those matters. Having followed Qin Ming for so many years, I've won over quite a few of his confidants. They won't cause any trouble for the elders," Liu Xinya said confidently, as if afraid that Elder Li would blame her.
She didn't want to die.
She wanted to rise to a high position; she wanted to control the fate of others.
