“What’s wrong?”
Hearing the voice beside her, Ming Li frowned and turned to look at the man lying on the couch. “It’s getting late. You should go back and rest early.”
The Demon Lord’s eyes flashed with something as he heard this. He furrowed his brows and said, “Alright, then you rest early too, Li’er. I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”
After the Demon Lord’s aura completely disappeared from the hall, a hint of doubt flashed in Ming Li’s eyes.
Why?
She had just tried to retrieve that soul fragment, only to find that she couldn’t at all.
That soul fragment seemed to be firmly trapped within the Demon Lord’s body…
Thinking of this, Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously.
The night passed quickly.
The next day.
The Demon Lord pushed open the door to Ming Li’s palace early. “Li’er, let me take you to see the mortal realm.”
Hearing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow. Before she could say anything, her hand was already being pulled by the Demon Lord, and their figures quickly vanished from their spot.
Following behind the Demon Lord and looking at his retreating back, Ming Li felt a strange sensation arise in her heart.
Although she didn’t know what that feeling was, Ming Li truly disliked it.
“Hmm?” Feeling her hand go empty, the Demon Lord turned back in confusion to look at Ming Li. “Li’er, what’s wrong?”
Ming Li stared expressionlessly at the exceptionally beautiful face before her and said in a low voice, “Nothing.”
Hearing this, the Demon Lord nodded and turned his head. The moment he turned, a wisp of dark energy flashed in his eyes, and his expression instantly turned cold…
…
The two soon arrived in the mortal realm.
Arriving at a familiar street, the Demon Lord smiled and turned to look at Ming Li. “Li’er, do you want some candied haw?”
Ming Li replied, “No.”
“But… you used to like it very much…”
Hearing this, Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. “How do you know about my past?”
The Demon Lord said, “Li’er, have you forgotten? I was your junior brother before.”
“Heh!”
Ming Li suddenly let out a cold laugh, her gaze fixed directly on the man in front of her. “Junior brother? Are you mistaken? The one who used to like candied haw… wasn’t me!”
Being looked at by Ming Li’s gaze, which seemed to see through everything, the Demon Lord furrowed his brows. “Li’er, what’s wrong?”
Ming Li asked, “Let me guess… who are you?”
In her space, the system asked curiously, “Host, what do you mean by that? Isn’t this the male lead?”
Ming Li replied, “You’re wrong. This body currently contains three souls! The other soul is too good at hiding; I didn’t discover it last time.”
In short, this greasy person in front of her was definitely not her soul fragment!
No wonder she couldn’t get her soul fragment back last night; it turned out the soul fragment was being held captive by another soul.
Hearing this, the system was completely dumbfounded.
Thinking of something, the system immediately scanned the Demon Lord.
Before long, it indeed saw that the body contained three souls, and what’s more!!!
Why did one of them look so much like its host!
Not like, but exactly the same!
What kind of joke was this!
Suddenly, the system saw something and its eyes widened in shock. It subconsciously swallowed and stammered, “Hos-hos-host! That purplish-black soul is devouring you!!”
Hearing this, Ming Li’s brows furrowed deeply. “What kind of soul is that? Can you scan it?”
Upon hearing Ming Li’s words, the system quickly performed a flurry of operations, its two hooves frantically clicking on the system display screen. After a while, the system exhaled and touched the non-existent sweat on its forehead, saying, “Host, it’s been found. The soul devouring you is an evil god, but… the plot states that the Evil Spirit race was wiped out tens of thousands of years ago. Why is it here now? And it’s suppressed the powerful Demon Lord…”
Ming Li narrowed her eyes and looked coldly at the man who was still trying his best to disguise himself, gaining a rough understanding of some things.
This evil god managed to survive, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be because of her soul fragment…
Thinking of this, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on Ming Li’s face, and a powerful killing intent instantly permeated the air!
Seeing the smile on Ming Li’s face through the system display, the system shivered violently.
It was over. This demoness was angry! Should it hide in a small dark room first…
