Jack was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.
A cold glint flashed in Li Xiaonan's eyes as he directly took hold of Jack's puppet body, squeezing it until it creaked.
"Ahhh!" Jack let out a heart-wrenching scream, dropping to his knees and pleading, "Boss... I... I'm sorry... I won't dare again... ah..."
Li Xiaonan slowly released his grip and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, what poison did you give Ouyang Feng?"
"Black... Widow..." Although Jack didn't understand why Li Xiaonan was so fixated on this question, he answered truthfully.
"This is a poison extracted from something called Mercury Tin Silver in the Demon Realm. Those lightly poisoned will experience swelling all over their bodies, while those severely poisoned will be covered in sores..."
After a long silence without hearing a response from Li Xiaonan, he cautiously lifted his head to glance at him.
Li Xiaonan had his head lowered, his long bangs obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression. However, the tension at the corners of his tightly pressed lips revealed a sense of gravity.
Mercury Tin Silver? Congratulations?
Hmph, what's there to congratulate about being poisoned! It's unique to the Demon Realm; who on earth ventured into the Cultivation Realm to poison the Green Fairy Traces?
And for what purpose was all this done?
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he slowly raised his head and asked, "How many people in the Demon Realm have this poison?"
“Mercury Tin Silver is quite rare, a precious treasure that is valuable yet hard to find. I stumbled upon a small vial of it at an auction three hundred years ago.”
As soon as Jack finished speaking, he noticed something off about Li Xiaonan's gaze.
His increasingly cold eyes felt like two sharp swords piercing into Jack's chest.
Li Xiaonan lowered his hand from under his chin and asked, “Do you know about the Green Fairy Trace?”
Jack looked back at him, puzzled. “What is that?”
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly, his Mental Power keenly sensing the truth behind Jack's response.
It seemed it wasn't him. So who had poisoned the Green Fairy Trace?
No! This time when I return to the Cultivation realm, I must set up a defensive array for those Sprites! To prevent any ill-intentioned individuals from coveting it.
Li Xiaonan thought with a furrowed brow.
Suddenly, he stood up and walked towards the door, his abrupt action startling Jack.
“Boss! What should we do next?” Aries and the others, who had been waiting outside the castle, rushed over as soon as they saw Li Xiaonan come out.
“Notify the other eight, gather as many followers as possible, and prepare yourselves. The entire Demon Realm will soon depend on you!”
A week later, Jack's forces had spread to every corner of the Demon Realm, carrying out the final tasks to reclaim it.
Demon Realm Five Emperors Aside from him and Fei Ji, the rest were dead, and it was generally accepted that Jack had unified the Demon Realm.
However, things were not going as smoothly as he had imagined.
In chaotic times, heroes emerge, and the demon race was no exception. Although several big shots had died, many new talents had emerged from various places.
Whenever Jack thought of these newcomers, he felt a surge of anger.
These fellows were quite clever; they never confronted his army head-on but instead maneuvered around, winning people's hearts. This indirect approach was like a slap in his face multiple times.
On this day, it seemed as if all eight of them had suddenly agreed to disappear.
Although Jack did not know what tricks they were up to, he would not let this opportunity slip by. He aimed to take the entire Demon Realm in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, A-Da, A-Er, A-San, and A-Four returned to Eastern Land, ready to report to Jack.
As the four of them reached the entrance, they heard their boss's anguished screams.
"Ahhh! You... why did you..."
Li Xiaonan looked at Jack, who was kneeling before him, and sighed inwardly at his own softness. Perhaps it was better to let him understand clearly!
"You’ve known Ouyang Feng for so many years and could betray him; what makes you think I’m any different?"
Feeling a bit of relief from the pain in his body, Jack quickly explained, "Boss, how could he compare to you! Don’t you have the Puppet Technique to control me?"
"Ha ha, it's just the Puppet Technique. Can it really control your ambition?" Li Xiaonan threw Jack's puppet towards Aries, simultaneously giving a knowing glance.
Jack panicked instantly, exclaiming, "You! You can't kill me! If you kill me, the Demon Realm will fall into chaos! Only I can help you unify the Demon Realm!"
"Damn it! Get lost!" Aries coldly dismissed him, crumpling the puppet into a ball, causing Jack's body to hunch over in agony, emitting a series of wretched screams.
"Be careful, Xiaobai. Don't splash blood everywhere," a strikingly handsome figure known as Eighteen Wings leaped through the window. This was none other than the legendary oddity of the Zodiac Signs—Maiden, who could get shot even while lying down.
Behind him followed a group of young and adorable Partners, streaming in one after another.
Jack gaped in disbelief, "They... you..."
Li Xiaonan took over the conversation, saying, "You're right; they are all my people. Now, Aries, stop dawdling and finish him off. You guys can split the spoils!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
The horrifying screams echoing from inside sent chills down the spines of the four demons at the door, making them forget to escape.
"Hey, you spectators at the door, come in!" Gemini suddenly burst out and dragged the four inside.
The four stood there with their mouths agape, too terrified to even think about fleeing.
"Come on, say something!" Gemini urged impatiently.
A Er was the first to snap back to reality and bowed deeply to Li Xiaonan, saying, "A Er pays respects to the Demon Emperor!"
Li Xiaonan almost laughed out loud.
Demon Emperor? I’ve actually become part of the Carefree Dual Cultivation Group? What a pity, though; compared to the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor, my status is quite weak.
I have only grasped a mere fraction of the Heaven and Earth Principle, not even matching up to my elder brother.
Li Xiaonan shook his head helplessly, silently accepting this new identity as Demon Emperor.
A month later, twelve palaces appeared across the continent of the Demon Realm.
The owners of these palaces were none other than the most loyal subordinates of the newly appointed Demon King Nan Muzi, such as Aries and Taurus.
The Demon Emperor's palace was modeled after the original castle of Central Land, which had been slightly renovated to become the highest and most magnificent structure on the Demon Realm Continent.
The name of Demon Emperor Nan Muzi spread to every corner of the Demon Realm.
At first, there were some rebellious or disdainful voices, but they were quickly silenced.
This swift and decisive action instantly intimidated the entire continent.
Li Xiaonan leaned out of the window, resting his body on the balcony.
The night wind in the Demon Realm was a bit strong, carrying a hint of bloodiness along with its coolness.
His long hair was tousled by the evening breeze, flowing backward, yet his profile appeared somewhat heavy and lonely.
He glanced at the gray night sky and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Everything was settled, and it was time to meet Fei Ji... But just how much does she love me?
"Knock, knock, knock!" A gentle knocking sound struck heavily at Li Xiaonan's heart.
He took a deep breath, remaining still, and said, "Come in."
Fei Ji pushed the door open and frowned slightly at the empty room.
The thought of the little note Aries had handed her earlier made her feel a bit irritated.
He was clearly a man but showed none of the decisiveness one would expect from a man!
He wanted to see her but didn't dare to speak to her directly, instead sending his subordinate with a note. She couldn't help but remember how he had tied her up and kissed her forcefully back then...
Fei Ji paused, shaking her head vigorously. Inner Thoughts: Why am I thinking about this!
I'm going crazy! I must be going crazy!
She quickly darted into the room, where a man hunched over stood coldly behind the fluttering purple curtains.
There was an indescribable sense of loneliness and desolation in the air.
Fei Ji cleared her throat, breaking the silence. "What do you want from me?"
Li Xiaonan stood up and walked a few steps to Fei Ji, his Azure Silks tousled by the night breeze.
He nervously took Fei Ji's hand, trying hard to lift the corners of his mouth, attempting to make his smile appear less stiff.
Fei Ji frowned slightly and ultimately pulled her hand away. "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Li Xiaonan glanced around; there was nothing special about the surroundings, no atmosphere at all. How could he say anything here?
Clearing his throat, he grabbed Fei Ji's arm and said, "Come with me!"
Before Fei Ji could protest, everything around them blurred for a moment.
Suddenly, they found themselves in an open space.
Fei Ji was about to shake off Li Xiaonan's hand when he unexpectedly released her first.
Li Xiaonan circled around Fei Ji twice, and as he did, green grass sprouted at his feet. Following that, red roses began to bloom around them, forming two overlapping hearts.
Fei Ji stared in shock at the scene before her. Her concern wasn't about how Li Xiaonan could perform such miraculous life-creating magic; it was why he would go to such lengths.
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly and snapped his fingers. Clusters of white light soared into the sky, blooming like flowers and illuminating the entire expanse above.
He looked at the astonished Fei Ji with a smile, gently took her hand, pressed a kiss on it, and slowly knelt before her on one knee.
Finally coming back to her senses, Fei Ji tried to pull her hand away but found it firmly held in his grasp.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath, squinting as he smiled and said, "Fei'er... In the past, I had nothing. To keep you by my side, I used every means at my disposal, only to realize that it didn't bring us happiness... But now, I am part of the Carefree Dual Cultivation Group; I have everything!"
He paused slightly, feeling his heart race faster. This was the nervousness born from lies and the tension of waiting.
Li Xiaonan lied without a hint of blush or tremor in his heart, striving to present himself as a man deeply in love with her before Fei Ji.
He used the psychological explanation of his past actions to lay the groundwork for what he was about to say, all while grappling with his own disdain for such dishonesty, feeling unmanly. Yet he spoke those words because he genuinely wanted to know the answer, even if it wasn't what he hoped for.
He lifted his head, gazing into Fei Ji's eyes, and softly said, "Today, I, Demon Emperor Nan Muzi, wish to marry Miss Fei Ji. I will do my utmost to care for you and cherish you! Fei'er, will you marry me? Become my wife and the Demon Queen of this Demon Realm Continent?"
Fei Ji stared at him intently as the fireworks in the sky faded away, leaving everything eerily quiet like days gone by.
Li Xiaonan could even hear his own heartbeat as he awaited Fei Ji's response.
What he wanted to hear was—"I do not wish to."
