【Under Ye Yu’s shocked gaze, Bai Miaoling was enveloped in a black mist.】
【After two breaths, the mist dissipated.】
【The snow-white gauze skirt on Bai Miaoling transformed into black, and two horns sprouted from her head. Although her face remained unchanged, against the backdrop of her black pupils, she gave an impression of both coldness and allure.】
【Ye Yu instantly felt a bit at a loss.】
【But one thing could now be confirmed; His Dao companion was not human!】
【The 73rd true princess of the demon realm, Bai Miaoling, greets her husband.】
【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but gasp in shock.】
【Demon realm?】
【How could she possibly be from the demon realm?】
【Previously, Ye Yu had learned about this realm in other dreams.】
【There were a total of six realms.】
【The Divine Realm, Heavenly Realm, Mortal Realm, Demon Realm, Beast Realm, and Nether Realm.】
【In ancient times, the six realms were interconnected.】
【The Mortal Realm was rich in spiritual energy, while mortals were weak, leading the other five realms to covet it.】
【The human race lived in misery.】
【Then a change occurred—the passage between the six realms collapsed, severing their connections.】
【Mortals could only ascend to reach the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Realm Immortals could not descend.】
【The Divine, Demon, Beast, and Nether realms were completely sealed off.】
【As for why there are demon beasts existing in the Mortal Realm now, it was because the Beast Realm closed too quickly, leaving behind some demon beasts in the Mortal Realm.】
【Over time, the existence of demon beasts in the Southern Barbarian Continent came to be.】
【As for the term Demon Realm, it could only be found in ancient texts.】
【But why was Bai Miaoling a member of the Demon Realm?】
【How did she end up in the Mortal Realm?】
【Moreover, it seemed she wasn’t joking when she mentioned wanting to take over the entire mortal realm!】
【For a moment, Ye Yu felt utterly confused.】
【He wanted to take a step back, but Bai Miaoling had already lunged into his embrace, her hands wrapping tightly around him.】
【She softly whispered, Husband, do you not like me like this?】
【Ye Yu was momentarily speechless.】
【Looking at the two horns on Bai Miaoling’s head, he unconsciously reached out to touch them.】
【They were cold and had a delicate texture.】
【Bai Miaoling showed no sign of resistance. Instead, she said, slightly intoxicated, Husband, you’re being naughty again.】
【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand, trying to escape Bai Miaoling’s embrace. But she held on tightly.】
【Left with no choice, Ye Yu could only say, How about you let me go first?】
【Bai Miaoling slowly loosened her grip.】
【Gazing gently at Ye Yu, she said, I’ve actually wanted to confess to you about being from the demon realm for a long time. But I was afraid you would leave me because of it.】
【So I kept delaying until now.】
【The reason I’m confessing to you tonight is that I’ve come up with a win-win solution.】
【As she spoke, Bai Miaoling took out a black ring.】
【She gently stroked the ring’s surface with one hand, Husband, I truly love you so much. I want to be with you forever.】
【Why don’t I kill you and place your soul in this soul ring? That way, we can be together forever and ever.】
【Isn’t this idea wonderful?】
【Ye Yu’s lips twitched slightly.】
【At that moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Li Ruowang in Bai Miaoling.】
【No, this witch was far crazier than Li Ruowang!】
【Li Ruowang only wanted to imprison him, but this witch wanted to kill him just to keep him from leaving. What kind of logic was this?】
【A lunatic, an absolute lunatic!】
【Ye Yu’s face darkened as he said, Why don’t you let me kill you and place your soul in the soul ring? That way, we could also be together forever.】
【Bai Miaoling nodded seriously and said, That works too!】
【As long as we can be together, I’m willing to give up everything. I don’t want any of this conquering the mortal realm stuff.】
【Husband, I truly, truly love you. You can’t even imagine how much I love you.】
【As she spoke, Bai Miaoling slowly moved closer, wanting to cup Ye Yu’s face in her hands. But he instinctively dodged away.】
【What extreme, obsessive madness!】
【And she was very adept in disguise. After decades, this was the first time Ye Yu discovered how utterly insane Bai Miaoling could be.】
【Stop dreaming; I don’t want to die, nor do I want to dominate the Mortal Realm with you.】
【A smile appeared on Bai Miaoling’s face.】
【Husband, you can only choose one of these two options.】
【You can’t choose neither!】
【Just as her words fell, a terrifying pressure from the late stage of the Ascension Realm swept over the area.】
【This made Ye Yu feel immensely shocked.】
【An Ascension Realm demon?】
【Had she been hiding so deeply?】
【Then, Bai Miaoling’s figure suddenly vanished into the darkness. The surroundings had been completely enveloped in black mist without him realizing it.】
【Above, a gigantic vertical eye appeared, coldly watching him.】
【Bai Miaoling’s voice echoed from all directions.】
【Husband, how wonderful it would be if you were willing to devour the mortal realm with me!】
【But you refuse.】
【There’s no way around it; I can only keep you by my side in my way.】
【Because I truly love you too much.】
【A lunatic, an utterly deranged lunatic!】
【Ye Yu cursed inwardly.】
【He immediately wanted to cast a technique to disperse the black mist and leave this place. But unexpectedly, the vertical eye above suddenly emitted a red glow.】
【Ye Yu felt his body stiffen in an instant; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move an inch.】
【He couldn’t even draw upon the spiritual energy within him.】
【Bai Miaoling’s voice echoed again.】
【Husband, please don’t worry. I’m quick with my hands. You absolutely won’t feel too much pain. Just bear with me for a moment, and we can be together forever!】
【The black mist instantly engulfed Ye Yu’s body.】
【But Bai Miaoling, hidden in the darkness, suddenly stiffened. She abruptly waved her hand, dispersing the black mist.】
【Ye Yu’s figure had already vanished, and everything had turned empty.】
【Bai Miaoling turned to look eastward.】
【The barrier she had previously set up had been completely destroyed.】
【Had he already left?】
【Truly worthy of being my husband!】
【Under the absolute pressure of this realm, he managed to escape.】
【He’s really impressive.】
【I feel myself loving him more and more.】
【On the other side, Ye Yu had already flown a thousand miles away.】
【If he hadn’t used the escape technique in time, he would have likely met his end there.】
【Recalling the scene from just moments ago sent chills down his spine.】
【The methods of the demon realm are indeed terrifying.】
