Su He's large lotus flower bud finally bloomed.

And it bloomed to perfection.

Xing'er ultimately did not manage to persuade the Elder, and was even left in the Flat Peach Garden by the Elder, which left her very puzzled.

Why would the Elder also aid the tyrant? Could it be that subduing the Master Demon can only be achieved through her own efforts?

The road ahead is long and arduous...

"Younger Brother... Can you get me a drink of water?"

"Didn't you just have some earlier?"

"...That stuff doesn't quench my thirst!"

Even the Sun seemed unable to bear it, hiding away. Drawing up the black night curtain to conceal these shameless man and woman.

Cloud State, Yan Prince's Mansion

This mansion, which holds great importance throughout Great Xia, is currently bustling yet desolate.

The bustle comes from the rise of the Qin Family with the birth of Qin Tianjiao, the Conferred King of Qin Yingxiong, who now dominates the thirteen states of Yan Yun and has become a significant force influencing all of Great Xia.

The desolation stems from the absence of both male masters of the house!

Qin Yingxiong has been stationed at the border of Yan Province all along. Without the Empress's decree, it would be a grave taboo for him to return to the capital.

Qin Tianjiao seems to have some cunning intentions now, making the Yan Prince's Mansion the least inhabited place.

The outside world mostly labels Qin Tianjiao as the Jade Lake Saint Child, rather than the Crown Prince of Yan, which secretly makes Gu Luoyi resent her senior sister's domineering ways and Qin Tianjiao's heartlessness. After all the effort she put into raising him, now he's nowhere to be seen!

Fortunately, she still has the Qin Family's lingerie business to keep her busy, but another woman in this grand mansion is not as fortunate.

In the same courtyard, as night falls, red lanterns hang in the yard, but in the extreme quiet, the red lanterns sway with the night breeze, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling...

"Tianjiao... Tianjiao..."

A low, soft voice breaks the eerie silence.

In a dimly lit room, with only a small lamp burning, lies a pale, shining thin woman on the bed. She is none other than the sickly second wife that Qin Tianjiao avoids at all costs.

Your beloved sickly beauty has arrived~

At this moment, she wears a pained expression, suppressing her voice as she calls out Tianjiao's name. Half a year ago, when Qin Tianjiao returned, she secretly took a glimpse from afar and saw that the boy from years ago had grown up.

After a long while...

"Ah..."

A sigh, unable to express the anguish in her heart.

She wiped the slightly glistening small porcelain bottle with a handkerchief. Over the years, this small porcelain bottle had acquired a patina-like feel.

Seeking, searching, desolate, sorrowful. When the warmth fades and the cold sets in, it's hardest to find solace.

Three cups of light wine, how can they withstand the swift evening breeze? Geese pass by, causing heartache, yet it's a familiar sight.

Yellow flowers cover the ground, withering and worn. Who is there now to pick them? Guarding the window, alone in the dark. The parasol tree, along with the drizzle, until dusk, drip by drip. This sequence, how aptly it embodies sorrow!

"Have you forgotten me? If you're heartless, why treat me kindly..." The second wife stared blankly at the small porcelain bottle in her hand, then pressed it close to her heart and closed her eyes.

If someone were to enter her mental world, they would never imagine it belonged to a seemingly sickly woman.

After closing her eyes, the second wife entered her mental world, a vast prison!

She opened the first door, the second door, the third... As she delved deeper, one after another sealed door was opened, until she had opened nine hundred and ninety-nine doors!

In the innermost chamber was a small prison cell, where a "person" hung, dripping with blood.

"Drip, drip..."

Drops of bright red blood fell to the ground, pooling into red lines that, when they reached about a meter in length, seemed to come alive, like small snakes wriggling into the man's body from under his feet...

This cycle repeated endlessly...

Hearing footsteps, the man raised his head, and his "face" was surprisingly identical to Qin Tianjiao's!

However, upon closer inspection, fine red lines surrounded his face, as if it had been sewn with those red lines today!

The second wife watched as, twenty years ago, four years before she married into the Qin family, this unfortunate fellow suddenly rushed into her mental realm, attempting to possess her.

If at this moment, the other soul within Su He's body were to see this person, they would surely exclaim in astonishment: It's you!

This soul was none other than Su He's old rival, the old demon known as the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord in that world.

In their final battle, both perished, but the immense power tore open a crack in the world, sending both Su He and the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord to this world.

Their souls were already extremely fragile, and the toll of transmigrating between two worlds had left them drained. Su He chose to recuperate within a baby.

As for the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord, it was either luck or misfortune that led him to encounter the second wife while out exploring!

Though the second wife had some cultivation, she was not strong. As a Demon Lord, he immediately recognized that this girl was born with a demonic body!

If he could possess this girl, with this body, along with his techniques, knowledge, and experience, he believed he could quickly rise again!

Without hesitation, he rushed into the girl's mental realm!

And then, there was no turning back...

Initially, he managed a relatively stable four years, at most being imprisoned behind these nine hundred and ninety-nine doors, escaping a few times, with his best record being breaking through three hundred doors...

But in the fourth year of his failed possession, things changed. The girl would occasionally come into his mental realm to beat him up! A Demon Lord like him, being beaten to the ground by a girl, he... he... secretly wept.

From then on, his days grew worse by the day. This girl became increasingly twisted, not only forcing him to teach her techniques but also tormenting him from time to time.

One day, half a year ago.

Even for a Demon Lord, that day was a nightmare!

The girl peeled off his entire face, sewing on a new, unfamiliar one! And the torture he endured now, he wanted to die, but death eluded him!

"You, kill me... please..." the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord said in agony.

"Kill you? How could I kill you, Tianjiao, I've come to see you..."

"I'm not a damn ghost named Tianjiao!" The Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord went crazy upon hearing the name Tianjiao, knowing that the torture was about to begin again!

"Ah!!!"

Red lines flew out from the second wife's hand, like a sea of red threads, constantly burrowing through the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord's soul.

Pained cries filled the entire mental realm...

"I know you're not! Don't think you can make demands just because you're wearing Tianjiao's face. Now, you're not even worthy of wearing this face."

With a tearing sound, like ripping a large sheet of paper!

"You really are ugly... Indeed, only Tianjiao is the most handsome..."

"You... you madwoman... you'll have a miserable end... and that Tianjiao... will also meet a miserable end! I, the Hateful Heavenly Demon Lord, curse you to hell!!!"

Haha~ If Tianjiao is with me... in hell... I'd be more than willing...
