Chapter 70: Adorable Demon Lord, Online Deceived
Red Dust Mountain, Joyful Union Sect.
“I’m a little Demon Lord, la la la la la, I want to make my Joyful Union Sect very beautiful…”
Liu Yan and Sage Heart Demon Lord were enjoying hot pot and singing songs, living a wonderfully comfortable life.
Especially Sage Heart Demon Lord, who had entered a retirement phase of slacking off ever since arriving here.
The most crucial part was, according to the rules of reincarnation, she was only just one year old!
“Demon Lord, for the sake of early revenge and restoring the former glory, you should cultivate today.”
Liu Yan urged tirelessly.
The Profound Heaven Nine Flower Array seemed to come alive, rewarding them with some spiritual herbs and medicines every day for their hard work.
So both of them spent their days supplementing their strength, without enemies chasing them or having to be responsible for the entire race; it felt too good.
“Ah?! You want me to cultivate, for real? I’m still a child… Just tomorrow… No, how about the day after tomorrow!”
Sage Heart Demon Lord blinked her big, gem-like dark eyes, not big in stature but full of cunning.
What a ridiculous Demon Lord; whoever wants to be one can go ahead!
At that moment, a hazy fluctuation spread through the space, and the two instantly perked up.
According to past conventions, this was “Grandpa Array” using spatial power to send them warmth.
What kind of “delicious dish” would be delivered this time?
As they eagerly anticipated, a young boy’s figure suddenly appeared in the void.
Liu Yan’s pupils instantly contracted, and she froze in place.
“What is this? Could it be a spiritual herb with transformative power? We’ve really struck gold this time!”
Sage Heart Demon Lord’s expression lit up with excitement as she pointed to the hot pot beside her and said to Zhou Tong, “Quick, come into the pot!”
“You’re the one who should go into the pot!”
“Yet it can even talk; this is truly magical! You’re definitely a top-grade product; I’ve got you locked in!”
“You’re the top-grade product; your whole family is a top-grade product!”
Zhou Tong said, feeling quite a headache.
Liu Yan beside them was also stunned; it seemed the rumors were true, that reincarnating would indeed lower one’s intelligence.
Although the Demon Lord’s knowledge remained, her personality was preserved, but her way of thinking had turned childlike.
In short, she had become a bit of an idiot!
“Demon Lord, this is Young Master Zhou, the master of this place.”
“Ah!!”
Sage Heart’s face changed drastically, showing incredible nervousness. Based on her speculation, the person in front of her was very likely a major human figure disguised as a young boy, and he probably also knew her identity from her past life.
“Don’t be nervous; I won’t bring you any harm.”
Zhou Tong revealed a benevolent smile, sizing up Sage Heart, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt.
“According to the rules of reincarnation, only those who have never killed a human in their previous life can choose to be reincarnated as a human; you are not our enemy!”
“You’re such a great person!”
Sage Heart said tearfully with gratitude.
“That’s only natural, but I want to ask you, now that you’ve turned into a human, can you still use the Tianmo Clan’s innate ultimate skills, like the Creation of Heaven technique?”
“Of course! Do you want to learn about the Tianmo Clan’s trump cards from me?”
Sage Heart answered without hesitation, “I understand! There’s an ancient saying among your human race: ‘Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.’ I will definitely cooperate fully!”
“You understand nothing!”
Liu Yan smirked slightly, already sensing something was off but didn’t dare to voice her concerns.
“Great! Since you are so understanding, I’m preparing to reward you!”
As soon as Zhou Tong said this, Sage Heart’s eyes lit up.
“Then can I… eat a petal from the Seven-Star Crimson Lotus?”
She asked shyly, but her heart didn’t hold out much hope.
“Of course, one petal isn’t enough; I’ll allow you to eat two!”
Zhou Tong was extraordinarily generous, unlike a human, and if he were an ordinary person, he should have been on high alert by now.
When favors are given, there must be a request in return.
But Sage Heart Demon Lord obviously wasn’t aware of this; in her past life, she had been a recluse, not understanding the ways of the world at all, and now her intelligence was forcibly reduced, making it hard for her to turn around.
She hopped into the spiritual herb room, and an hour later, she came out with a smile, her entire aura having changed dramatically.
Not only had her cultivation improved, but she had also grown a bit, appearing about eleven or twelve years old, particularly lively and adorable.
“Thank you, big brother.”
Seeing Zhou Tong still there, she revealed a sweet smile, extremely happy.
“No need to be courteous; did you see the little hut next to you? Go in there and activate the array; there’s a surprise.”
Sage Heart Demon Lord, without suspicion, followed Zhou Tong’s instructions.
When the hut lit up, they heard a gasp, and Sage Heart Demon Lord vanished without a trace.
“Young Master Zhou, my Demon Lord…”
Liu Yan’s expression changed drastically; her suspicions had come true.
“Don’t worry; she’s with me. I assure you, I’ll bring her back in full form in a few days!”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Young Master Zhou!”
Liu Yan, filled with worry, heavy-heartedly moved toward the hot pot, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes.
…
In the palace, at the Guest Senior’s residence.
A transmission formation was glowing, then shattered into pieces.
“Luckily, I had the foresight to set up a disposable transmission formation in the sect; it certainly came in handy.”
Zhou Tong smiled sinisterly as he captured Sage Heart Demon Lord.
“What… what do you want to do to me?”
“Don’t be afraid; I want to borrow your power to save an important person. Once achieved, I will double your rewards!”
…
At this moment, inside the Heavenly Prison, the atmosphere had become extremely solemn and grim.
“The Senior Apprentice Sister has only one more day to live; how could this be possible!”
The Little Demoness’s face was pale, completely unable to accept this fact.
Mu Ran Ya couldn’t help but tremble all over; her unfortunate disciple had only just regained freedom, yet now faced death. Why was heaven so cruel to her!
“Master, don’t be sad for me; I’m already very happy just to see you one last time. I, your unfilial disciple, cannot repay your nurturing grace!”
Zhang Chuqiao said tearfully; she had always been a strong woman, and even in dire straits, she never gave up the fight, but now she felt deep helplessness.
Knowing that Mu Ran Ya had almost gone mad because of her, she felt guilty to death.
Thankfully, there was still the junior apprentice brother!
“By the way… where’s the junior apprentice brother?” Zhang Chuqiao seemed to think of something and forced herself to stay positive. “Since the outcome is already determined, I should send the junior apprentice brother a gift!”
“Hey… you’re not thinking of…”
Long Lingyun suddenly asked, then stopped abruptly.
Just then, the door to the Heavenly Prison was kicked open with a bang.
“Want to hold a memorial service already? Isn’t it a bit too early!”
Zhou Tong strode in, holding the Sage Heart Demon Lord and showing her off to everyone.
“Whose little child is this? So cute.”
Zhang Chuqiao looked at the Demon Lord’s awkward little expression due to being tricked, and she felt as if she had been healed.
“Little sister, how old are you this year?”
“Replying to sister… I am just one year old now!!”
