Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 829 World 377

"Good, calm enough."

A deep, husky male voice sounded from behind.

Shen Ruyin turned around warily and met a pair of eyes as deep as the night, and a face that could be described as the epitome of a mother goddess.

A pretty face and a pleasant voice would normally be a plus for Shen Ruyin, but at this moment, they have become nothing more than skin and bones in her eyes.

Shen Ruyin thought untimely that perhaps the state of being without context still had an impact on her.

At least now she sees everyone the same, with a pure and detached mind; even if someone suits her preferences, she feels nothing.

Only absolute calm and rationality.

From this perspective, having no context is actually quite good.

Shen Ruyin gradually adjusted to the pressure and took a step back: "Who are you?"

“Me,” the visitor said, “you all habitually call me the Demon Lord.”

"Demon Lord?" Shen Ruyin tilted her head. "You're here to avenge the Demon Lord of Bicheng?"

"That piece of trash? He's not worthy," the Demon Lord chuckled, his handsome face seemingly surrounded by blooming spring flowers.

Seeing that Shen Ruyin was not captivated by his beauty, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Are you indifferent?"

Before Shen Ruyin could answer, he continued, "Are you wondering how I knew?"

He turned around, sighed, as if he were missing someone dearly: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I am related to your Supreme Sect's Breaking Thought Peak by marriage."

"My Demon Queen was once a disciple of the Broken Mind Peak, but she left the Broken Gate only because of me."

“I love her very much; she has been with me for hundreds of years.”

"Back then, we were a perfect match, and whenever we looked at each other, our eyes were filled with love."

"pity."

He paused, seemingly waiting for Shen Ruyin to ask him a question.

Shen Ruyin wasn't going to cooperate with him. With her clever mind, she had already guessed who he was talking about.

But she would definitely favor Lan Yue unconditionally, because that was her own ancestor.

Does it matter who the Demon Lord is?

“You really look just like her when I first met her,” the Demon Lord said, seemingly helpless. “Unfortunately, everything changed later. She abandoned me, entered the realm of nothingness, and would rather die than leave me forever.”

"But how can that be?"

“I used every method I could, even sacrificing the entire secret realm to nurture her.”

"I waited for many years, and the one I longed for finally woke up, but she was gone too."

No wonder everyone else is a demon king or a demon lord, but he is the demon lord.

Shen Ruyin sighed inwardly, "This acting skill is truly impressive."

If it were a naive, love-struck person who was completely unaware of the world's ways, wouldn't they think he was an exceptionally good man, admire his deep affection, and look at him in a different light?

"Why aren't you saying anything?" The Demon Lord's smile vanished, replaced by an overwhelming aura of authority.

"What are you going to say?" Shen Ruyin withstood his deliberately aggressive tone and said seriously, "I think you might not be willing to listen to what I'm about to say."

"Oh?" The Demon Lord tilted his head, "I forgive you for your crime."

"You're still pardoned?" Shen Ruyin rolled her eyes inwardly, but on the surface she still had to say, "You asked to hear this yourself, so don't blame me."

"I think you probably don't like the woman you're talking about, but rather you have a deep-seated hatred for her."

The Demon Lord stared intently at her: "Why do you say that? Haven't I been good enough to her?"

“I presented her with all the rarest treasures, and emptied the Demon Palace for her, so that everyone would know of my deep affection for her…”

Shen Ruyin interrupted his self-justification with some impatience: "So how did you get to this point? Is it really all her fault?"

The Demon Lord stopped.

Shen Ruyin continued, "You feel that you have sacrificed a lot for her, but didn't she also abandon everything to come to your side for you?"

"Family, friends, fellow disciples—she's probably lost everything she could. Shouldn't you treat her well?"

"As the Demon Lord, you shouldn't be the kind of person who was initially moved and vowed to love her for a lifetime, only to gradually make her give in and eventually wear down all her love, and then suddenly remember everything and regret it after losing her, right?"

When it comes to acting, Shen Ruwan is a professional.

If the Demon Lord is acting with her, why can't she ask the most genuine questions in the most innocent tone?

Anyway, Lan Yue never told her any stories; she pieced them together herself from the smallest details.

But I have to say, she found this demon lord disgusting.

It is said that a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, but can all the harm he suffered because of his past be erased?

After a long pause, the Demon Lord said in a hoarse voice, "Of course not."

Shen Ruyin nodded deliberately, seemingly confirming her guess.

The Demon Lord changed the subject: "Why do you say I have a grudge against her?"

Shen Ruyin said, "Isn't it obvious?"

"You know that we at Po Nian Peak cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, yet you still entice people to fall in love and abandon everything for you."

“After he regained his senses, he returned to the path of ruthlessness, yet you still speak ill of him behind his back, trying to corrupt his heart again.”

"If you didn't have a blood feud with her so deep that you wanted to tear her to pieces and destroy her body and soul, would you have done something like this?"

Sensing the approaching danger, Shen Ruyin quickly summoned the protective treasure given to her by Lan Yue and shouted, "You were the one who told me to say it, and now you're going to kill me after I say it. I was right!"

The Demon Lord, unable to kill her in one move, tried to capture her: "You're using Yue'er's things. Where did you steal them from?"

"What stealing?" Shen Ruyin was furious inside the protective magical artifact. "Do I, a disciple of the Supreme Sect's Breaking Thought Peak, need to steal something?"

"I think you're the habitual thief; your heart is filthy!"

After Shen Ruyin finished speaking, the Demon Lord seemed to be enraged and even took out his weapon.

Shen Ruyin quickly took out another talisman given to her by Lan Yue and slapped it onto the protective magical artifact.

Once the magical artifact is shattered, the protective talisman will certainly be damaged as well, and Lan Yue will definitely get the news then.

Lan Yue has a special connection with this secret realm, allowing her to come and go freely and use the teleportation array at will. Shen Ruyin believed that Lan Yue would definitely arrive before she ran out of her remaining protective talismans.

So what's there to be afraid of!

At this moment, the Demon Lord was no different from a complete madman, but he was even more terrifying than a madman.

He has basic knowledge and high combat skills.

As Shen Ruyin's protective talisman shattered into its third piece, a sword light tore through the domain.

"Xingluo," Lanyue forced back the Demon Lord with a sword and rushed to Shen Ruyin's side, anxiously checking if she was injured.

"Yue'er!"

The Demon Lord's self-righteous, yet utterly repulsive voice rang out.

Shen Ruyin gently tapped Lan Yue's hand a few times.

This was a code that Lan Yue had researched and taught to her.

She warned Lan Yue to be careful, saying that Lan Yue was a madman.

Lan Yue gently patted her head and sent her out of the domain before turning back and gritting her teeth.

"I am but a junior cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, yet I have the honor and fortune to have the Demon Lord personally intervene!"
