Li Xiaonan was taken aback for a moment, casually putting on a silver long shirt. "Changing clothes, huh?"
The Demon Emperor glanced at the still-dazed Lu Nishang and sighed helplessly, "Let's sit down."
"My Lord Demon Emperor, there are no outsiders here, so I'll be straightforward. I will keep the blueprints of the pyramid and the craftsmanship without asking for a single coin. The spirit stones I promised to offer after finding my mother will not be lessened either."
The Demon Emperor took a sip of Otherworldly Nectar. "Sounds good. The Underworld welcomes you anytime." He raised his cup in a toast to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan smiled slightly, picked up his cup, and nodded toward the high-ranking Demon Emperor before drinking it all.
He set down his cup and continued, "My Lord Demon Emperor, since this is business, there should be give and take. I wonder..."
"Speak! What do you want?" The Demon Emperor thought: As long as it's not my daughter, I'll give you whatever you want.
Li Xiaonan was not polite. "The Refining Craftsmanship of the Underworld is quite special. I wonder..."
"That can be arranged."
"Additionally, besides my mother, I would like to bring a ghost back to the Cultivation Realm."
The Demon Emperor frowned slightly. "Who do you want to bring?"
Li Xiaonan pointed at Chen Yaojin. Seeing this, the Demon Emperor relaxed and smiled, "That's fine. You can put him in the Heavenly Jade Ring to bring him back to the Cultivation Realm, but remember that humans and ghosts walk different paths. He cannot be exposed to sunlight; otherwise, he will turn to ashes."
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but frown. Bringing him back but not letting him out? What was the point? Well, let's just take him for now.
Chen Yaojin listened nearby with a broad smile. He had indeed chosen the right person; his boss was going to take him to the Cultivation Realm! Although he couldn't see the sun, he blindly trusted Li Xiaonan—his boss would definitely have a way.
"Brother Xiaonan..." Lu Nishang looked up at Li Xiaonan, her doe-like eyes full of innocence. Li Xiaonan quickly grabbed Mei Yingluo's hand and said to the Demon Emperor, "My lady is a bit tired, so I'll take her to rest now..." With that, he pulled Mei Yingluo away.
Chen Yaojin had just grabbed a piece of meat and was about to take a bite when he noticed that both the boss and the lady had vanished. Their speed was astonishing.
As soon as they reached the guest room, Li Xiaonan hurriedly closed the door and let out a heavy sigh, "Huh..."
"Xiao Nan, what are you hiding from? Lu Nishang clearly has something to say to you," Mei Yingluo teased.
Li Xiaonan made a bitter face. He knew very well that Lu Nishang had something to say, and he could even guess what it was. However, he absolutely could not let this little girl spill the beans; otherwise, everything he discussed with the Demon Emperor would be in vain.
"Mother, please rest well. Once I learn the crafting techniques from the Underworld, I'll take you back."
Mei Yingluo shook her head. "There's no rush, take your time."
Days passed quickly, and Li Xiaonan was busier than ever. He was working on the pyramid blueprints, designing the brick kiln, and learning how to refine Storage Artifacts from the ghost craftsman. He wished he could split himself into several pieces to manage everything.
"Brother Xiaonan!" This wasn't the first time Lu Nishang had come looking for him. Unfortunately, every time he saw her, he would turn and run like a mouse fleeing from a cat. True to form, Lu Nishang pouted and stepped in front of him.
Li Xiaonan exclaimed, "You... you've recovered?"
"Yes, my father helped me." She opened her small hand, and Li Xiaonan was momentarily stunned. "What?"
"A doll."
Li Xiaonan scratched his head and smiled. "Let's refine it now!" After pondering for a moment and glancing at Lu Nishang, he sat cross-legged and summoned a ball of true fire with both hands. He tossed in some materials with a flourish while occasionally checking on Lu Nishang.
Lu Nishang watched curiously as Li Xiaonan worked. When the flames finally subsided, she could see her doll but suddenly it vanished as Li Xiaonan put it away. He then pulled out some threads, and in an instant, his hands were adorned with a beautiful purple dress.
This is a twenty-centimeter long Roland Purple Tulle Skirt, with a hollowed-out black lace back that is both cute and sexy. He secretly turned his back to Lu Nishang and slipped the skirt onto a doll. Lu Nishang curiously peeked over, but her view was completely blocked by his tall figure.
"Alright, here you go!"
Lu Nishang was stunned as she silently accepted the doll.
It was a thirty-centimeter SD Doll, looking remarkably like a person—Lu Nishang herself.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand in front of her, "What's wrong? Do you like it?"
Lu Nishang tightly hugged the doll and softly replied, "Mm." She bit her lip and said, "I like it... Brother Xiaonan."
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, unsure if he should interpret that statement together. He chuckled and shook his head, picking up the crystal ball that Lu Nishang had accidentally dropped before leaving. The transparent sphere flickered with bizarre scenes, and he exclaimed, "Dad!"
He gazed at the images within the ball, his brows gradually furrowing as he remarked, "Very! Good!"
Suddenly, the crystal ball shattered, and Li Xiaonan soared through the air on his Carefree Fan toward Sunset City.
Filled with rage, Li Xiaonan realized the truth: all those tales of heroes saving damsels were nothing but lies. He had seen through the crystal ball how Wang Yong had deliberately chosen not to save the ghosts of Li Family Fortress, waiting until they were all dead except for his mother before pretending to be a good person.
He decided not to reveal the truth to Mei Yingluo; he would handle this matter alone!
Amidst swirling yellow dust, Li Xiaonan rushed through the chaos and finally arrived at Sunset City. He flew directly to Demon General's Mansion and shouted angrily, "Wang Yong! Get out here!"
"Who dares to make noise here? It's you! You’re still alive!" Wang Yong appeared clad in armor, wielding a war spear, looking imposing as he hovered in the air.
"You scum! Bah! How could I possibly die when you’re still alive?" With Carefree Fan in hand, he wasted no time and launched a horizontal strike.
Wang Yong let out a light grunt, swinging his war spear to deflect the incoming shadows of light. Li Xiaonan's lips curled into a strange smile as Carefree Fan closed in, appearing before Wang Yong in an instant, using the fan like a sword to stab at him.
Wang Yong held the spear with both hands, sidestepping to block. The fan suddenly spread wide, slicing toward his throat, forcing him to lean back.
Li Xiaonan sneered; every move Wang Yong made was part of his plan. He landed a punch on Wang Yong's abdomen, sending him flying.
"Kid, do you know who I am?" Wang Yong grunted, one hand propping up the spear while the other clutched his stomach.
Li Xiaonan scoffed, looking down at him through his nostrils. "It's too late to tell me someone is backing you now. You watched as my Li Family's twenty-nine members died without lifting a finger, and you still want to marry my mother and kill me." He pointed at his own chest and continued, "We'll settle these scores one by one!"
He lunged forward again, charging at Wang Yong. The latter was unable to block in time and was knocked down by Li Xiaonan, his war spear rolling aside. Li Xiaonan rushed forward and kicked him twenty-nine times. "This is what you owe my Li Family!" He picked up the nearby spear and thrust it directly toward Wang Yong's vital points. "This is what you owe my mother!"
"Ah!" There was no splatter of blood; only a cloud of smoke erupted as Wang Yong's head tilted and he fainted.
Li Xiaonan raised the spear high and declared loudly, "This is what you owe me..." Before he could finish, a strange white light appeared around Wang Yong. His body shot out like an arrow, and Li Xiaonan shouted angrily, "Trying to run?" He hurled the spear like a javelin with all his True Essence Power.
By sheer coincidence, the spear flew closer and closer to Wang Yong. With a 'thud,' it pierced through Wang Yong's... rear end and emerged from his mouth, creating an authentic skewered meat display.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly. "I let you run; I only wanted to stab you dead. Now... sigh, fine. You stabbed my heart; I pierced your rear end—seems fair enough."
Wang Yong turned into a wisp of smoke, not even having the chance to scream before he perished. The spear fell straight down, embedding itself firmly at the entrance of the Wang residence.
Li Xiaonan dusted off his hands and rode Carefree Fan back. He felt something was off and decided it was best to leave with Mei Yingluo and the others quickly.
Although Wang Yong's father was certainly not Li Gang, since he dared to speak such words, there must be a significant figure behind him. Clearly, someone powerful had intervened during Li Xiaonan's final strike.
As soon as Li Xiaonan arrived at Yama Palace, Lu Nishang mysteriously pulled him into a small corner. "Brother Xiaonan, did you... take care of Wang Yong?" She made a stabbing motion toward her heart.
Li Xiaonan nodded and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Nishang frowned and said, "Brother Xiaonan, you've gotten yourself into trouble. Wang Yong's father is the former Demon Emperor. Even my father has to show him some respect."
"What?" Li Xiaonan thought to himself: This is serious; there must be someone behind this. That person has such a high status. I need to get my mother out of here quickly.
Lu Nishang grabbed his arm again, "Brother Xiaonan, where are you going?"
"Of course, I'm going to find my mother!"
Lu Nishang shook her head, "The old Demon Emperor has already notified my father. He suspects it was you and has put Aunt Mei under house arrest."
Li Xiaonan's brows furrowed tighter. Lu Nishang bit her lip and added, "Brother Xiaonan, don't worry. I'll help you rescue Aunt Mei. You go to Yellow Spring Village first, and we'll meet there."
Li Xiaonan clenched his fists and nodded, taking off towards Yellow Spring Village on his Carefree Fan.
Lu Nishang let out a sigh. She looked at the Jade Eye Tablet in her hand and murmured, "Mother... Am I doing the right thing? I lied to Brother Xiaonan; will he be angry if he finds out? But... if I didn't do this, Brother Xiaonan would never let me go with him. Mother is so clever to write such a manual; even the smart Brother Xiaonan fell for it..."
She tightly clutched the Jade Eye Tablet, which was given to her by the Demon Emperor after they recognized each other. It was said to be a cultivation manual left for her by her mother. However, when she opened it, it was not what she expected; instead, it contained a guide on how to win a man's heart.
Ever since the crystal ball accidentally fell into Li Xiaonan's room, everything had been part of Lu Nishang's scheme. Wang Yong's father was not the former Demon Emperor at all; there had only ever been one Demon Emperor in the Underworld, and that was her father. The last burst of light was also her doing; everything was a deception designed to keep her by Li Xiaonan's side.
Lu Nishang looked at the doll in her left hand and then at the Jade Eye Tablet in her right hand, and she began to cry. She felt overwhelmed with guilt; this was her first time lying, her first time doing something wrong. She murmured, "Brother Xiaonan, I promise I won't lie to you again. From now on, I'll listen to you no matter what. Please don't leave me... Lu Ni Chang will be good and obedient..."
