Inside the room was an ambiguous aura, and a strange smell permeated the air. After their vigorous lovemaking, Yu Ru Mengâs unblemished body was covered in faint red marks. She lay on Yang Kaiâs broad chest like a kitten, her hair dishevelled as she quietly murmured, âSmelly man. Are you satisfied now?â
Yang Kai stroked her round bottom and grinned widely, âIf I can do this every single day, then it will really be satisfying.â
She raised her head abruptly, glared at him furiously, and hammered his chest with her fists, âIn your dreams! This time is a special case! Donât even think about touching me again!
âWhat?â His eyes widened at those words and the movement of his hands froze. He looked at her beautiful eyes miserably, âWhat does that mean?â
âIt means what it means.â She lay back down again, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, âItâs not like you canât have me. Iâll give you everything you want once you become the thirteenth Demon Saint of the Demon Realm.â
Yang Kai gasped, taking in a breath of cold air, âOnly the Heavens know when that will be!?â
After the transformation of the power in his body, he was still only a High-Rank Demon King. There was still the Half-Saint Realm before becoming a Demon Saint⊠Although it was only two Realms, these two Realms were the two most difficult to break through. It was even more difficult than all his efforts combined throughout his journey to becoming a High-Rank Demon King!
Yu Ru Meng just snickered and said, âWell, that would depend on your effortsâŠâ
âDonât be like this!â Yang Kai boldly reached his hands out to cup her face and asked seriously, âYouâre joking with me, right?â
On the other hand, her expression was as stern as could be and she said in a serious tone, âI am not joking. We hadnât reached this point before, so I didnât mind the little things you did. You were free to do whatever you wanted, but you are my man now. You need to have the qualifications to match up to me. I am a Demon Saint. Naturally, only another Demon Saint can stand beside me!â
Yang Kai fell silent. Although these words sounded very unpleasant to his ear, it was also the truth. As the man of a Demon Saint, it was disgraceful that his cultivation was too low.
âWas killing Bright Moon a huge shock to you?â Yu Ru Meng asked, looking at him.
âHe was a Great Emperor!â He furrowed his eyebrows, âAnd, I came from Star Boundary after all.â
Yu Ru Meng continued, âIf you didnât kill him, somebody else would have done it. From the moment he fell into the Demon Realm, it became impossible for him to escape this place. He was fated to die here. It is just like how the Demon Saints do not dare to enter the Star Boundary easily. If we were besieged by those Great Emperors there, Iâm afraid we, too, would suffer!â
âOf course, I know that,â He nodded lightly.
âBy the way, why did you suddenly undergo a complete demonification?â She asked curiously. Yang Kai had experienced a dissonance in his cultivation once before and gained Demon Essence back in Star Boundary, but his situation had not been that serious and the power in his body continued to be Emperor Qi. However, he had revealed extremely pure Demon Qi when he called upon his power a few days ago. It was as though he was a real member of the Demon Race.
âSpeaking of this, I wanted to ask you something too.â Yang Kai frowned deeply, âBack when I was on the run after obtaining the Great Emperorâs Opportunity, my Qi began fluctuating. I had no choice but to return to Cloud Shadow Continent for my breakthrough, but when I was in the processâŠâ
He briefly recounted everything strange that he experienced before, and after listening to his story, Yu Ru Mengâs expression changed greatly, âAre you saying a strange shadow infiltrated your Knowledge Sea at the time of your breakthrough?â
âThatâs right. That black shadow was very strange. There was practically no way to destroy it. I donât even know when it began lurking nearby. It sneaked into my Knowledge Sea in a moment of inattention. After I killed the black shadow, my entire Knowledge Sea was contaminated by Demon Essence and I became able to absorb Demon Qi after that. Accordingly, the power in my body also underwent earth-shaking changes.â
Yu Ru Meng exclaimed in wonder, âIf it was impossible to destroy, then how did you kill it?â
He replied, âI have raised some Soul Devouring Insects, so I relied on them to slowly grind it to death.â
âSoul Devouring Insects!?â Yu Ru Meng exclaimed, shocked to learn that he was raising such dangerous insects.
âJust what was that black shadow?â Yang Kai asked.
âI canât say for sure,â Yu Ru Meng slowly shook her head, âAlthough I have a guess, I canât say for certain without actually seeing it for myself.â
She poked him in the chest and said, âDonât ask so many questions. You will slowly come to understand in the future.â
Before he could ask anything else, she gave him an annoyed look and changed the subject, âYour luck really is Heaven defying. You obtained the Great Emperorâs Opportunity and broke through your bottleneck. Now, even your Soul cultivation has skyrocketed, right?â
He grinned, âDid you expect that to happen?â
She scoffed, âWhy did you think Iâve always stopped you in the past? I was afraid you might be unable to bear the pressure that the sudden explosive growth of your Spiritual Energy would bring. If not for how pitiful you looked, your dreams would have remained unfulfilled!â
[Pitiful!? How can you say that!?] Yang Kai felt a little speechless at those words. Still, the benefits he received from her were unmistakable; thus, he didnât bother to argue and instead pensively said, âI can sense that not only has my Soul grown a lot, but that it seems to have something else added to it.â
Yu Ru Meng gently nodded, âI am proficient in Charm Techniques, the Innate Divine Abilities of my Charm Demon Clan; therefore, you will have greater resistance towards similar Soul Techniques in the future. Let me put it in this way; even if another Demon Saint or Great Emperor tried to use Charm-type Soul Secret Techniques on you, they would have a hard time succeeding.â
Yang Kaiâs eyes brightened at those words, âItâs that great!?â [Isnât that equivalent to receiving natural immunity!? Even Demon Saints or Great Emperors will have a hard time succeeding, so those Half-Saints arenât even worth mentioning anymore!]
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, a glimmer of cold light flashed through his eyes. It was time to settle some old debts he was owed.
She added, âBut, it is only limited to Charm-type Soul Secret Techniques.â
âItâs better than nothing,â He grinned.
âAre you going to avenge Bright Moon?â The question came out of nowhere, causing both his body and smile to stiffen instantly. Just as he was about to speak, a delicate finger sealed his lips and Yu Ru Meng continued, âI didnât mean to deliberately spy on your memories. Itâs just that⊠our Divine Senses blended together when you accepted my Primordial Yin and I gained some insight into your thoughts and emotions. I learned that you were not sincere when you came to the Demon Realm with me. You probably came for Bright Moonâs sake. Am I right?â
Hearing all this, his stiff body gradually relaxed. Since there was no point in him denying it anymore, he could only nod in response, âThatâs right. I came to the Demon Realm to save Senior Bright Moon.â
Yu Ru Meng immediately gritted her teeth and scolded, âYou tricked me!â
While speaking, a slender jade finger pressed against his chest. Demon Qi fluctuated at the tip of the said finger and a dangerous aura spread out in an instant.
Yang Kai smiled bitterly, âAre you going to kill me?â
To which Yu Ru Meng spat equally bitterly, âDid you think I couldnât bring myself to kill you!?â
He sighed and slowly shook his head, âGo ahead and do it then.â
After saying that, he closed his eyes as though waiting for the executionerâs axe to fall.
Yu Ru Meng gnashed her teeth so hard that the sound was audible. The Demon Qi at the tip of her finger extended out, little by little, turning into a sharp blade that pierced his skin and flesh, heading straight towards his heart, causing golden blood to flow out.
However, she suddenly stopped when it was only a fingerâs width from his heart.
Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked at her triumphantly before rolling over and pressing her body under his, ignoring the blood flowing out of his chest as he laughed out loud, âI knew you couldnât do it.â
Yu Ru Meng might be a Demon Saint, but she was also a woman. She would certainly hold some special feelings towards the first man to possess her. Not to mention, they were shackled by the Heart Seal Secret Technique, so how could she really bear to kill him?
While Yang Kai was speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Yu Ru Meng on her plump lips, but soon, he raised his head again with a look of pain. His mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She had bit his tongue so hard that it was bleeding.
âWas lying to me fun?â She looked at him coldly, turning hostile from passionate as fast as one could turn the pages of a book, causing him to be quite at a loss for what to do.
He covered his mouth and mumbled, âStill, you didnât have to bite!â
âYou asked for it!â She snorted coldly, âI told you. Donât even think about touching me again in the future.â
âYou were being serious!?â He was flabbergasted.
âDid you think I was joking around with you?â She lifted a leg and kicked him aside. Her clothes flew towards her body the moment she rolled over and stood up, and by the time he recovered from his shock, she was almost fully dressed.
Her well-rounded chest was rising and falling violently, making it obvious that she was still feeling aggrieved. Glancing sideways at him, she asked, âLet me ask you this, does your loyalty lie with the Demon Realm or the Star Boundary?â
This question was too pointed, so Yang Kai fell silent for some time before asking, âWhat will you do if my loyalty lies with the Demon Realm? And, what will you do if my loyalty lies with the Star Boundary?â
âIf your loyalty lies with the Demon Realm, then everything will remain as before. I will do my best to help you become the thirteenth Demon Saint, but if your loyalty lies with the Star Boundary⊠then I will have nothing to do with you from now onward.â
He gave a bitter laugh, âWill you believe me if I tell you that my loyalty lies with the Demon Realm?â
If she had not seen into his thoughts and memories, his word would not have been an issue; however, it was impossible for her to believe him after the merging of their Divine Senses, so she scowled deeply and stated, âYou have completely undergone demonification, and the power in your body has also been converted into Demon Qi. Even if you do return to the Star Boundary, will you still be accepted there? Why do you have to be so stubborn?â
To which Yang Kai slowly shook his head and replied solemnly, âThe power in my body does not define me. Cultivators only care for what lies in our hearts. As long as my conscience is clear, thereâs no need for me to fear the Heavens.â
Yu Ru Meng was dumbfounded by his words.
Seeing her dumbstruck, Yang Kai quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, âRu Meng, why donât you help me instead? Iâm sure Iâll be even more powerful with your help. You donât need me to tell you about the situation in the Demon Realm as Iâm sure youâre already well aware of it. This world is dying, the continents are slowly disappearing, and in addition, the Territory Gates are all becoming unstable. The Demon Realm will collapse one day so the Demon Race can only completely occupy the Star Boundary as their current solution to this problem. But, the Star Boundary wonât fall so easily. The battle will only end up destroying both sides. Both Great Worlds will experience heavy casualties and devastation in the end.â
Yu Ru Meng closed her eyes and shook her head, âThat is an unavoidable outcome. The ending was determined from the moment the Two Worldsâ Passage opened. Between the Demon Realm and the Star Boundary, only one side will survive.â
