In the Purple Star Palace of the Demon Race in the Demon Realm.
A woman wrapped in gauze from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes exposed, was lying on a soft cushion filled with phoenix feathers.
From time to time, painful whimpers escaped from the woman's throat. Her beautiful eyes were brimming with hatred and unwillingness.
The deep - seated resentment in her eyes was like a vengeful spirit that had wandered in the world for a thousand years. It seemed that the next second she would tear anyone who got close to her into pieces.
"Madam... I've told you everything that happened in the Azure Cloud Sword Sect. Please spare me..."
A girl in the maid's uniform of the Purple Star Palace knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing to the woman on the couch. Tears streamed down her face as if there was no tomorrow.
The woman on the couch struggled to raise her hand and pointed at the maid with her gauze - wrapped finger.
The surrounding guards immediately understood and stepped forward to drag the maid away.
The maid struggled desperately, crying out in pain and begging the woman to spare her life.
"You're not qualified to seduce His Majesty. I'm giving you a painful death. You should be grateful."
"Madam! Madam! This servant was wrong... Please spare this servant's life... Mmmph!"
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by a guard and she was taken out of the palace.
With a single swipe of the blade, the maid's head fell to the ground.
Warm purple blood splashed all over the floor. The pungent smell seemed to stimulate the woman on the couch.
The woman took a deep breath, as if enjoying this bloody scent.
"My little Bai, did someone upset you again today?"
A pleasant voice came from afar. Ji Chongming walked into the palace in his magnificent attire. When he saw the woman on the couch, his eyes were filled with deep affection.
When the woman saw Ji Chongming, she put on a sad and pained look and stammered, "Ji Chongming, how much longer do I have to lie here? I want to go out. I want to take revenge. I want to kill Shen Qing!!"
Ji Chongming carefully picked up the woman on the couch and let her snuggle comfortably in his arms.
He sat on the cushion where the woman had been lying, lazily raising his eyes and indulgently sniffing the woman's scent with his nose.
"Don't worry. It won't be long. The pain you've suffered, I'll make that woman pay for it double!"
The woman obediently lowered her head in response, but the hatred in her eyes could not be hidden.
"You promised me that you would tear Shen Qing into pieces."
A playful smile curled up on Ji Chongming's lips. "My little Bai, I'll promise you anything. But how will you reward me?"
The woman was about to say something, but when her gaze fell on the gauze on her body, she was filled with disgust.
"What can this body of mine do to reward you?"
Ji Chongming gently rubbed his chin against the woman's face. "You'll get better soon."
This woman was Lin Yibai.
After Shen Qing had taken out her spiritual bones, her consciousness had gradually faded away. But when she woke up again, she was already in the Demon Realm and had become Ji Chongming's concubine.
Only then did she know that Ji Chongming had already married a main wife, and she was just a concubine.
However, only Ji Chongming could save her and protect her, so it was only natural that she stayed in the Demon Realm.
After she woke up, the system in her body had disappeared. Ji Chongming gave her a pill that looked like a bright dot.
After taking the pill, her whole body felt like it had been burned, and a new system was bound to her mind.
The system claimed to be No. 001, a senior of the system she had originally been bound to.
According to No. 001, the system she had been bound to before was just a useless thing abandoned by the main god.
It said that her previous appearance was no longer suitable. That appearance was changed by the previous system according to the appearance of the true love of Immortal Heng Ling.
This system told her that from then on, she should be herself. So after the pain, her appearance would return to what it was before she entered the book.
While she was recuperating, she accidentally heard the maids around her discussing what had happened at the engagement banquet in the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.
She then learned that Shen Qing had gotten together with the original male protagonist of this book and was engaged.
So she asked the maid who had tried to seduce Ji Chongming to tell her everything that had happened in the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.
"Why did the people from the Main God's Palace go to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect? What do they want? Why didn't they just kill everyone in the Azure Cloud Sword Sect?!"
Lin Yibai's voice was full of anger and hatred. Her accusatory tone made Ji Chongming's heart skip a beat.
He quickly covered Lin Yibai's mouth, a look of panic flashing across his face.
"Little Bai, be careful what you say. There are spies from the Main God's Palace everywhere. I can tell you that now I'm in a cooperative relationship with the Main God's Palace."
"If you want to go back to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect to take revenge on Shen Qing, and I want to secure my position as the Demon Lord, we must rely on the Main God's Palace. You should show more respect."
Lin Yibai nodded reluctantly, but she didn't think so in her heart.
Since she had been bound to No. 001, she also knew some things about this world.
Each of the eight immortals in the Main God's Palace was bound to a system. Without the system, they would have died ten thousand years ago.
Since they had systems, it meant they were the same kind of people. There was nothing to respect or be afraid of.
But in front of Ji Chongming, she didn't dare to say it so directly.
Now the only person she could rely on was Ji Chongming, so she had to hold on to him tightly and stabilize her position in his heart.
By the way... get rid of Ji Chongming's main wife. She was really an eyesore!
As a woman who had traveled from another world, she would never allow herself to be just a low - ranking concubine. If she was going to be Ji Chongming's woman, she would be the main wife, the most noble woman in the Demon Realm!!
"Ji Chongming, I'm hungry."
Lin Yibai coquettishly tapped Ji Chongming's chest with her finger. Ji Chongming happily hugged Lin Yibai and laughed.
"Little Bai, why are you so greedy? Fortunately, your man is the Demon Lord. There's enough food for you."
"Servants, bring in the food for the concubine."
The guards on both sides obeyed the order and walked out of the palace.
When Lin Yibai heard Ji Chongming say "concubine", the word "concubine" stabbed at her heart.
Instinctively, she felt a hint of disgust at Ji Chongming's touch, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Where is this? Are you ghosts or gods?!"
"Let us go back quickly. I'm the legitimate daughter of a fifth - rank official. If my father catches you, you charlatans who play tricks won't get away with it!"
Eight young girls were dragged in by the guards. They huddled together fearfully, looking around.
When they saw Ji Chongming, the handsome and magnificently dressed man sitting on the high seat, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.
But before they closed their eyes, they only heard the handsome man say gently to the terrifying woman wrapped in gauze in his arms.
"The food is here. Eat quickly."
