Jun He let out a helpless sigh and said, "I've saved the people for you. Are you going to go back on your word?"
I sniffed and replied, "I never promised you to save them. It was clearly your own decision to do so, okay?"
Hearing this, Jun He knew I was planning to act like a rascal.
His face immediately darkened.
"Lan Lan, it doesn't feel good to be threatened, does it?"
"You've experienced it too. How did you feel when the Earth Goddess threatened you with me? If you still want to threaten me, you might as well just kill me."
I couldn't make any more concessions to him. He thought this tactic worked, so he used it every time to force me to submit.
If he threatened me again this time, I would absolutely never compromise.
Jun He was the Demon Lord, and he could sense that I wasn't joking with him.
"Fine. From now on, I won't threaten you by targeting your weakness."
"Then I'd like to thank the Demon Lord in advance." I curled my lips and bowed to him.
With a faint smile on his lips, he called out, "A Yin."
A Yin had just sent Yan Lin and Wang Siqi into the ambulance. Hearing Jun He call her, she hurriedly ran over.
Before she could even ask what was going on,
A puff of smoke rose around Jun He. My vision went dark, and the three of us had already left the Snow Village.
When I steadied myself, I took a look around and immediately understood our location.
"Jun He, you're so despicable."
Jun He wasn't annoyed at all. No matter what I said, he had already achieved his goal.
"If I'm not allowed to threaten you, then I'll just bring you here directly. You should at least give me this much face, right?"
After saying that, he grabbed my wrist and walked towards the city. A Yin followed closely behind, afraid of falling behind.
The path Jun He took me on happened to pass by the place where I watched the Kongming lantern with Gu Yuan. At this moment, an orange-red Kongming lantern was still hanging there.
I tugged hard on Jun He's arm to make him stop. I wanted to stand there for a while.
But he didn't give me this chance at all. I could only look at the lantern from afar. For some reason, I just felt that the lantern was so familiar.
Jun He stopped walking. Everyone in the Demon Realm knelt down and kowtowed as he passed by.
He ignored them and directly led me into the gates of the Never - Night Sky.
As soon as I stepped into the Never - Night Sky, the interior decoration almost blinded me.
Was this really the Demon Realm? Why did I feel like I had walked into heaven?
The architecture in the Never - Night Sky belonged to the kind of ancient and elegant Oriental beauty.
There were vermilion gates and red walls. Colorful gems were hanging from the beams made of golden nanmu. In the middle, there was a night pearl from the East Sea, illuminating the entire Never - Night Sky brightly.
Silks were hanging in the long corridors. Dancers in sheer outer garments were dancing gracefully on the stage.
Petal rain fell continuously, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking.
The audience in the main hall came from all sentient beings in the Three Realms. From the old immortals to the little demons, once they entered the Never - Night Sky, they didn't need to care about their identities at all. Everyone was equal.
The old immortal in the front row was already white - haired, and he was drooling while watching the dancers.
I was watching with great interest when Jun He said unhappily, "What's so interesting?"
Without giving me a chance to stay, he pulled me upstairs.
It was much quieter and more upscale upstairs than downstairs. At this moment, the private rooms were already full of spectators.
I was arranged by Jun He to sit in the frontmost seat.
"You two just watch here. I'll come back later."
Without waiting for me to say anything else, Jun He left in a hurry.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: What on earth is he up to?
A Yin was the same as me. It was her first time coming to such a place. But she was completely here just for fun. The whole time, she was like a tourist sightseeing.
After seeing Jun He off, she immediately got excited.
"Lan Lan, thanks to you, I'm lucky enough to come to the Demon Realm with you. It's really worth it in this lifetime. I'm so excited."
This was the first time I had seen A Yin smile so happily since I knew her. It was a pure and innocent smile without any disguise.
Did the Demon Realm really have such great magic that it could make people forget their worries?
I remembered that the last time I came here with Gu Yuan, he had also smiled very happily, just like a big boy.
"I'm glad you're happy." I smiled at A Yin.
At the same time, the opera had started on the stage.
I had never watched this kind of opera since I was a child. I couldn't understand it or follow it.
However, I understood this opera.
It was a story about a lovelorn girl who fell in love with a scoundrel.
The girl's name was Chi Yu. She and a boy named Yuan fled to the Demon Realm and were taken in by Gu Qingcheng, the hostess of the Never - Night Sky.
As time passed, they accompanied each other for a long time, and Chi Yu fell in love with this boy named Yuan.
As time went on, Yuan developed a rebellious heart in the Demon Realm. He even openly challenged the Heavenly Court, triggering a great war between the demons and the immortals.
War broke out everywhere. The Nine Nether Hells in the Demon Realm were filled with corpses, and it was on the verge of falling.
Chi Yu couldn't bear to see the Demon Realm turn into a Shura field, nor could she bear to see Yuan become the public enemy of the Heavenly Court.
She went to the Heavenly Court alone to seek peace. However, this completely enraged Yuan. He led his subordinates and broke into the Heavenly Realm again, causing chaos in the world and countless casualties in the Heavenly Realm.
To quell the war, Chi Yu was sent by the Heavenly Realm to negotiate with Yuan in the hope of turning hostility into friendship.
Unexpectedly, Yuan didn't care about their relationship at all and personally killed Chi Yu.
After Chi Yu's death, the war ended without a result, but Yuan's anger didn't subside.
Back in the Nine Nether Hells, he forgot all the people who had shared life - and - death experiences with him. He brought Chi Yu's body back to the Nine Nether Hells and coldly threw her into the Blood Pond, refining her into an unremarkable sachet that he always carried with him.
From then on, no one had ever seen Yuan again. The Nine Nether Hells, which was originally a place contested by the Three Realms, became a place that the Three Realms ignored after Chi Yu's departure.
It finally enjoyed eternal peace. From then on, everyone here worshiped Chi Yu as the Goddess of the Nine Nether Hells, and her statue was now enshrined on the top of the Never - Night Sky.
I couldn't describe my feelings after watching this opera. Jun He clearly showed me this opera on purpose.
I wasn't a fool. He was clearly telling me how I died in my previous life.
I became a spiritual tool without a spiritual body all because of Gu Yuan.
To be honest, I didn't feel as strongly as A Yin after watching it.
She cried while watching, feeling sorry for Chi Yu, who had fallen in love with such a heartless scoundrel.
But these were all past events. What did they have to do with me? I didn't have the memories of my previous life. How she died didn't seem to matter much to me.
It was like a long - lost relative. When others told you that she had been killed, you would only think it was a pity that she died so young. That was all.
"Lan Lan, do you think Yuan is a big scoundrel? I didn't expect him to treat you like this."
Seeing her crying so bitterly, I didn't want to refute her. I patted her on the back and agreed, "Yes, he's really a scoundrel. Such a person should be thrown into a frying pan."
"Enjoying the show quite a bit?" A cold and deep voice suddenly came from behind.
My body stiffened. I nervously swallowed my saliva and slowly turned my head to look at him.
