A chill ran through my heart, and I forced myself to respond calmly, "Your Excellency the Demon Lord must be joking. I am merely a weak woman; what purpose could I possibly have? If you say I am out of place in the Demon Realm, it may be because I have been frail and sickly since childhood, confined by my family within the estate, rarely venturing outside. My experiences have been limited to poetry, literature, and etiquette, which are naturally different from the Demon Realm."
Xuan Shang Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his deep-set eyes as he coldly stared at me, trying to find a flaw in my expression.
I met his gaze and forced a light smile before continuing, "Speaking of which, I am quite curious about the Abyss Realm that you mentioned. Would you be willing to tell me more about it?"
I skillfully dodged Xuan Shang Jun's questioning and steered the conversation back to myself, attempting to divert his attention.
Xuan Shang Jun looked at this silver-tongued woman before him with increasing suspicion. The more she tried to conceal her intentions, the more suspicious she appeared.
After a moment of silence, he parted his thin lips and said, "The Abyss Realm is merely a gathering place for hypocrites; there is nothing worth discussing."
With that, he turned to leave but was stopped by my voice.
"Is Your Excellency really going to leave just like that?" I asked playfully. "Doesn't Your Excellency want to know why I am so interested in the Abyss Realm?"
Xuan Shang Jun paused in his steps and turned back to look at me, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.
"Go ahead and tell me."
I walked over to a peach tree, gently caressing the luscious peach blossoms as I softly spoke, "I have been frail and sickly since childhood; doctors told me I would not live past eighteen. I often think about how beautiful this world is, yet I can only stay for a short time. It is truly frustrating."
I paused for a moment before continuing, "Later on, I accidentally heard that the Abyss Realm is where the divine beings reside. The people there are all immortal and possess many miraculous spells that can cure all ailments. From that moment on, I became filled with longing for the Abyss Realm, dreaming of one day being able to go there and seek the secret to immortality."
As I spoke, my eyes slightly reddened, but my face bore a hint of stubbornness, as if I were unwilling to accept my brief life.
Xuan Shang Jun looked at the pitiable woman before him, and an unusual feeling stirred within him. He had never seen such a special woman; despite being in danger, she still maintained her optimism and hope.
"Are you not afraid that I will kill you?" His voice was deep and magnetic, yet it couldn't conceal a trace of subtle tenderness.
I lifted my head to meet his gaze, a faint smile curling at the corners of my mouth, with a mischievous glint in my eyes.
"Would the Demon Lord?" she asked softly, her tone filled with provocation.
As soon as I spoke those words, the hall fell into complete silence. The maidens lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xuan Shang Jun's expression.
Mangmang, the fingers of my companion clenched tightly around her clothing, her heart racing for me. She knew all too well the temperament of this Demon Lord—moody and decisive in his actions. My challenge to his authority was blatantly reckless, and the consequences could be dire!
Xuan Shang Jun's deep eyes were like a cold pool, reflecting no emotions. He remained silent for a moment, but the pressure around him suddenly dropped, as if a storm was brewing.
Just when everyone thought a tempest was about to break out, a violent surge of spiritual energy echoed from afar, like a giant beast roaring and shaking the heavens and earth!
"Report—"
A Demon Soldier stumbled into the hall, kneeling on one knee in panic as he reported breathlessly: "Demon Lord, it's bad! Prince Chao Feng... he is leading an army to attack the Demon Palace and is now approaching Wangchuan Riverbank!"
" Chao Feng?!" How dare he start a rebellion at this time!
Xuan Shang Jun suddenly stood up, his demonic energy surging around him, causing the great hall to hum. His sharp gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on me, his tone icy: "Did you know about today's events?"
I was startled but feigned calmness: "What does the Demon Lord mean? I am merely a weak woman; how could I possibly know about matters in the Demon Realm?"
Xuan Shang Jun did not respond, only giving me a deep look before turning to leave.
"Where are you going?" I instinctively asked.
"To stop him." Xuan Shang Jun said this without looking back, his figure transforming into a bolt of black lightning, instantly disappearing from the hall.
I stared at the empty throne, an inexplicable sense of unease rising in my heart. Biting my lip, I said to Mangmang: "We should go take a look too!"
At Wangchuan Riverbank, the demonic energy soared into the sky, and blood flowed like rivers.
