If you were to ask them now who their most admired person is, they would answer without hesitation: "His Majesty."
At this moment, they are willing to live for their Lord and die for their Lord.
The Lord is the god in their hearts.
The shouts surged like waves in the sea of people, all excitedly discussing the greatness of the Lord, the Lord's power, and the Lord's miraculous turn of events. Unaware of the excitement, the people stood in mid-air atop the city wall.
A man completely forgotten by everyone, a man who, just moments ago, shouted at a critical moment, wanting to save the people from their suffering.
Yu Jinshuo.
He wanted to be a hero, but unfortunately no one gave him that opportunity.
No one even remembered him. Throughout the royal city, from the main streets to the alleys, from nobles to commoners, everyone was talking about only one person: the Lord.
No one looked up to see Yu Jinshuo floating above the palace tower.
The faint blue light was fading, and the night sky was so dark that even with the moonlight, the person standing in mid-air could not be clearly seen.
Besides, who has the time or inclination to look at or care about this nowadays?
Yu Jinshuo stood in mid-air, the night wind chilling him to the bone, making him feel cold from head to toe. His hands were clenched into fists, hidden in his wide sleeves.
Because of the excessive force, my whole body was trembling slightly.
Clearly, he had planned everything; clearly, he had designed everything.
Why, why did the demon god resolve everything at the last moment?
Logically speaking, the demon god shouldn't have been able to resolve the situation so quickly in such a short period of time.
If he speaks his mind, and is given just a little bit of time, he can become the second god in the hearts of the demons.
Even if one cannot surpass the Demon God, one can still stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
How did it turn out like this?
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Yu Jinshuo lowered his head, staring coldly at the crowd below, a chilling hatred flashing in his eyes.
These people only know how to worship demon gods, don't they see him at all?
Sooner or later, he will let them know who the true ruler of the demon realm is.
One day!
Yu Jinshuo took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully. With this breath, it seemed as if all the pent-up frustration in his heart was released.
Without lingering any longer, they returned directly to the Prince's Palace.
He needs to think carefully about what will happen next.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, the servants immediately greeted Yu Jinshuo from a distance, bowing respectfully without approaching.
It wasn't that they didn't know the rules; it was just that Yu Jinshuo's expression was too terrifying, and they were afraid that if they went over, they would be killed by Yu Jinshuo.
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Xinrong hurried out of her room to greet him. Seeing that Yu Jinshuo looked unwell, she felt a chill run down her spine, but she still forced herself to overcome her fear and walked over to him, bowing respectfully.
Looking at Liu Xinrong, who was half his height due to bowing, Yu Jinshuo suddenly laughed and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Madam, did you rest well in your room?"
These inexplicable words set off alarm bells in Liu Xinrong's mind. Although she didn't know what was wrong with Yu Jinshuo, she understood from spending so much time with him that this was his reaction to being angry.
"Your Highness, you must be tired. Shall I help you rest?" Liu Xinrong avoided answering the question from before, and instead talked about other things, hoping to deflect the question and avoid incurring Yu Jinshuo's punishment.
"Rest?" Yu Jinshuo sneered. "Madam seems to be getting a good rest."
Yu Jinshuo's sarcastic remarks made Liu Xinrong feel wronged.
She clearly went to the forbidden area on Yu Jinshuo's orders.
She had no idea that such terrifying things would happen in the forbidden area; it was truly a matter of life and death.
She did all of this for Yu Jinshuo, listened to him, and even risked her life to help him. How could he treat her like this instead?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes reddened, and tears slowly began to fall.
"Oh, you're crying?" Yu Jinshuo laughed when he saw Liu Xinrong sobbing. Amused, he stretched out two fingers and pinched Liu Xinrong's chin, forcing her to raise her head to face him.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Yu Jinshuo asked her with a forced smile.
"I dare not." Liu Xinrong turned her eyes away, refusing to look at Yu Jinshuo.
"What, are you feeling wronged?" The more Yu Jinshuo looked at Liu Xinrong, the angrier he became.
Liu Xinrong is a woman who only knows how to make demands of others. Has she never considered what problems she herself has?
"I dare not," Liu Xinrong said, lowering her eyes and speaking words she did not mean.
"Liu Xinrong, do you think you're so great that you'd risk your life for me?" Yu Jinshuo questioned Liu Xinrong, seeing her quickly open her eyes, meet his gaze, and then look away as if trying to escape.
The answer was no longer needed from Liu Xinrong; Yu Jinshuo already understood her answer.
"Liu Xinrong, have you ever thought that you didn't do this for me at all?" Yu Jinshuo didn't know why, but he had a lot to say today, and he just wanted Liu Xinrong to understand.
He wanted to make this woman, whom he usually ignored, understand some things.
"Your Highness's order, this concubine..." Liu Xinrong bit her lip, wanting to explain herself with a wronged expression.
She was still scared, especially when she was hiding in the room just now, feeling the violent power outside. And then she thought about what would have happened if she hadn't escaped the forbidden area, what would have happened if she had encountered the Lord right after leaving the valley.
She dared not imagine, could not fathom, what the consequences would be.
Because just thinking about it makes her tremble all over; she's terrified.
She's gone to such lengths, what more could Yu Jinshuo possibly want?
What more do you want from her?
Before she married into the family, she was a daughter of a wealthy family. Does becoming a princess mean she should have wasted her life?
Yu Jinshuo saw all of Liu Xinrong's reactions. Although Liu Xinrong sounded aggrieved, he could tell from her eyes that she was resentful and even blaming him.
The more Yu Jinshuo looked at Liu Xinrong's reaction, the more he wanted to laugh. He really couldn't understand why there was such a big difference between the two women, who both had the same surname, Liu.
"Liu Xinrong, you're not doing this for me at all. You're just afraid of my punishment. You want to keep your position as the princess, and you want to make your future easier..." Yu Jinshuo became angrier as he spoke, and his hand involuntarily tightened its grip.
Seeing the pain on Liu Xinrong's face under his hands, his anger finally subsided a little.
"Liu Xinrong, you're only doing this for yourself." Yu Jinshuo said, then suddenly realized, why was he wasting his time with someone like this?
What's the point of saying anything if someone is only concerned with their own safety in a dangerous situation?
Thinking of this, Yu Jinshuo forcefully let go, completely disregarding Liu Xinrong, who fell heavily to the ground because of his sudden release.
"Don't bother me." Yu Jinshuo threw down the words with disgust, then strode towards the study, slamming the door shut with a bang, leaving that annoying person outside and giving himself a quiet room.
Liu Xinrong was startled by the loud slamming of the door. She stared nervously at the closed study door, and after a while, realizing that Yu Jinshuo really wasn't coming out, she shakily got up from the floor and stumbled back to the bedroom.
As for what happened in the main courtyard, not a single servant saw it.
The servants in the Prince's mansion all tacitly avoided approaching the main courtyard where Yu Jinshuo and his wife rested. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would set foot there; they all stayed far away outside, waiting for orders.
The prince and princess's strange way of getting along was something they had long been used to, but no one would dare to show up and provoke their master to vent his anger on them.
Yu Jinshuo returned to his room feeling extremely frustrated, pacing anxiously in the study.
The plan's failure further elevated the Demon God's standing in the eyes of the demons, and Liu Xinrong's disheartening actions left him feeling like nothing was going right.
His restless emotions were like a raging fire, scorching his heart and making it impossible for him to calm down.
Meanwhile, Yu Xinyi, who had been calmly painting on the other side, finally made the last stroke.
He put down the brush, looked at his ink wash landscape with satisfaction, and smiled easily.
"Master." The trusted subordinate who had been waiting by the side finally appeared and spoke.
"Hmm, how's it going?" Yu Xinyi sat down in the chair, finally shifting her attention away from the painting.
"The seal on the forbidden area has been resealed by the Demon Lord." The subordinate carefully recounted everything that had just happened.
From beginning to end, he reported everything to Yu Xinyi, down to the smallest detail, including the fact that they couldn't get close to the forbidden area. He even recorded half of what Yu Jinshuo shouted when he rushed into the air.
"Really?" Yu Xinyi laughed after hearing this. "Does Yu Jinshuo still want to turn the tide?"
"It seems so." His trusted subordinate thought for a moment and said. He had been investigating the situation and could clearly sense that Yu Jinshuo's aura at the time indicated that he was definitely going to make a move.
What he couldn't understand was, what ability did Yu Jinshuo have to turn the tide?
With his strength, if he were to enter the forbidden area, he would simply be going to his death. So why is he shouting like that?
"Since you've said that, you must have your reasons," Yu Xinyi said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
"Did the Prince of Luan also go to the forbidden area?" Yu Xinyi asked again. "What was he like after he came back?"
The trusted subordinate immediately reported, "Yes. Prince Luan also went to the forbidden area. When Prince Luan returned, he seemed frightened, his face was a little pale, and after returning to the palace, he went back to his residence and has not come out since."
His trusted subordinates did not find anything strange about the situation of the Prince of Luan.
The terrifying power of the forbidden area could be clearly felt even by them, who were in the distant royal city.
One can only imagine the terrifying pressure they endured within the forbidden area.
It's understandable that the Prince of Luan couldn't stand it.
Yu Xinyi smiled, but instead of agreeing with his subordinate's opinion, he asked, "Do you think a prince from the Demon Realm, a prince who has seen countless deaths and rebirths, would be frightened by the power of the forbidden area?"
"Uh..." The trusted subordinate was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed true.
No matter how strong you are, in the end, you will only die.
As the King of Luan in the Demon Realm, surely he wouldn't be so afraid of death?
When King Luan flew back to the capital, he was very fast. If it weren't for their skill in gathering information and their special attributes, they would never have seen King Luan's pale face.
Could it be that there is something even more terrifying inside the forbidden area?
"Haha..." Yu Xinyi laughed, unable to help but laugh at the stunned look on his trusted subordinates' faces.
"Master..." The trusted subordinate looked at his master helplessly. He had never thought his master was so... mean before. Now it seemed like he liked to joke with them all the time.
"Think about it, who was in the forbidden area just now?" Seeing his confidant's embarrassed look, Yu Xinyi finally stopped laughing and asked.
"Demon Lord, Venerable Lord..." the trusted subordinate blurted out. Wasn't his master insulting his abilities by asking him this question?
“You forgot, there’s one more person…” Yu Xinyi thought of that person, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, “Liu Lanyan.”
"Liu Lanyan?" The trusted subordinate hadn't considered Liu Lanyan's involvement. He knew that Liu Lanyan had later gone to the forbidden area to find the Lord, but what did Liu Lanyan have to do with this matter?
