If he remembered correctly, mortals could not stay in the demon world for long.
Although the demon world doesn't look much different from other realms, it is filled with demonic energy everywhere.
This Yin energy has a negative impact on those who practice spiritual cultivation, but it is different for ordinary people.
Once a mortal comes into contact with this Yin Qi, his body will be corroded and his internal organs will be damaged. The longer he is in contact with the Yin Qi, the weaker his body will become, until his body can no longer bear it and he falls down.
In other words, if mortals survive in the demon world, their lifespans will be greatly shortened, and they will be weak and frail, prone to many illnesses and disasters, which is extremely painful.
Ling'er frowned at what was said during the day. They just met in a different place, but everything had changed.
The moment she saw the daylight, she thought she was back in Tianhe Continent, back in the imperial capital. But reality is cruel after all, and it always gives those fantasists a hard slap in the face.
Emperor Shitian was still alive, and so was Daytime. It seemed that nothing had changed, but everything was different.
"I don't have much to say, I just didn't expect that you were still following Tiantian, and I didn't expect that you still remembered me." Since you remember, why didn't you tell Di Shitian about the past.
She saw with her own eyes during the day how sad she was when Emperor Shi Tian died.
Oh.
All this happened during the day, and she was the only one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end.
After hearing Ling'er's words, Bai Tian's face became unnatural. After all, he was the one who was unkind, but he did all this for his master. When he thought of this, Bai Tian suddenly felt confident again.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But there are some things I must tell you."
Well, now I won’t even call you queen, I’ll just go straight to you and me.
Looking at Bai Tian in front of her, Ling Er wanted to laugh for a moment. In Bai Tian's eyes, she was just a low-level species. Being able to talk to her was probably a great blessing.
Bai Tian felt a little embarrassed when he noticed Ling'er's smile. After all, they had been through thick and thin together before, so it was really awkward to be like this now.
But this was just the past emotions at work, and he couldn't let the memory of the past affect his current behavior.
"What happened between you and the king is already in the past. Besides, it was in the human world, which was only the life that the king experienced. From the moment the king left, the Tiantian in your heart was dead. The person you see now is not the Tiantian you once knew. He is the Nine Nether Demon Lord, the Lord of the Demon Realm. Although I don't know how you got up here, or why you appeared in the Demon Palace, and I don't want to know what agreement you have with the Demon Lord, I tell you that the Demon Lord is not someone that a mortal like you can covet. I don't know if you have heard that the Demon Lord has already made an engagement with Her Majesty the Queen of Yunhai City. Their engagement was made before Her Majesty the Queen was born and cannot be changed. I know that you are a smart person, and you should understand what I mean."
"Haha, you are so heartless." Ling'er felt mixed emotions when seeing her old friend standing against her with an arrogant look on his face.
"After all, we were friends once, Bai Tian, you really don't care about our friendship at all. I even doubt whether I ever really knew you." Bai Tian was always so gentle and responsive to everyone's requests. Is she really the same person as the man who wants to be so high above her
She really didn't know that a change of environment would change a person so much. No, no, no, to be exact, it was probably because she had disguised herself too well before.
"Don't blame me for not talking about our past. Everything I do is for the good of the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord and you are from two different worlds. You won't be happy if you force yourself to be together. Don't blame me, because I'm doing this for your own good. You are not suitable to stay in the Demon Palace, let alone stay by the Lord's side. If Queen Yunhai knows about your affairs, you will face unknown dangers. So for the sake of our past friendship, I kindly remind you. Of course, if you want to leave now, I can also send you off, after all, we once knew each other."
The smile on Ling'er's lips became more and more obvious, and her aura also changed, gradually becoming indifferent and distant. Although she was smiling, one could clearly feel her sadness and sarcasm, which made Tian feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't laugh anymore, I don't know what to do. Unless you are the Queen of the Sea of Clouds, leaving is your only choice!" His body trembled slightly, and his fists clenched. Deep in his heart, he also despised himself for who he is now, but in the end, reason overcame emotion.
"That may really disappoint you." After looking at the same day, Ling'er turned away. This was the last time she visited him as a friend.
Ling'er's words successfully caused Bai Tian to misunderstand. He thought that what she meant was that she would not leave, she would not listen to him, and she would do the opposite and take the risk of doing something that was not right in the world.
"You! If you do this, no one will be able to save you!"
"Don't worry, I don't expect you to save me, just don't make things worse."
Knowing that Bai Tian had misunderstood, Ling Er did not explain and continued to speak along with him. The indifference in her tone was very obvious. The intimacy they had felt when they first met had long since disappeared.
Just then, the maid who served Ling'er came over.
"Miss Ling, Miss Ling, where are you?"
Ling'er heard this and turned around and replied, "Here."
The maid heard the sound and looked over, revealing a relieved smile. Fortunately, she had found it. If anything went wrong, not to mention the Demon Lord, even the old Lord would have to peel off her skin.
"Miss Ling, I finally found you. You were not feeling well, so why didn't you ask me to accompany you when you came out? If you bump into something, I would have several heads to compensate you." The maid was panting and it seemed that she had been looking for her for a while.
"It's okay. I just felt that the room was too stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air. I'm not made of paper, so how could I break down so easily? You, little girl, are worrying too much." This maid was selected by Yao Lao himself for Ling'er. She was lively and not the kind of person who was old-fashioned and stiff. Ling'er liked her very much.
I have to say that Yao Lao is very good at judging people and he immediately figured out Ling'er's temperament.
"Zi Xi? What's wrong with you?"
When he saw the maid serving Ling'er, Bai Yi's pupils widened instantly.
Zi Xi was trained with him and was the most trusted shadow guard around the Demon Lord. But why was Zi Xi sent to take care of Xia Ling'er
"Bai Tian, you are here too." When Zi Xi heard Bai Tian talking, she noticed that there was another person next to them.
But he just replied with this one sentence, and then his attention returned to Ling'er.
"Miss, if you run around without me again, I will be angry."
"I see. You are a young girl, but you look like a housekeeper. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future."
"Miss, you are making fun of me again. I will ignore you."
Bai Tian was a little confused when watching the interaction between Zi Xi and Xia Ling'er. However, Zi Xi just said that Xia Ling'er was in poor health, which was obviously due to the Yin Qi.
I just don’t know how much Your Majesty remembers about the past.
But Zi Xi is the Demon Lord's man, so there is no way she can help Xia Ling'er to do stupid things.
Bai Tian looked unhappy at the moment. He pulled Zi Xi over and said in a low voice with a hint of blame: "Zi Xi, why are you hanging out with him? Do you know who she is?"
Zi Xi looked up at Bai Tian and said, "I know, she is Miss Ling'er." Besides, who she is doesn't matter, the master has acquiesced to her transfer, which shows that the master is also kind. Moreover, this lady's personality and temperament are very compatible with her, and she is very happy to serve her.
Moreover, when she came, Yao Lao had already told her that this young lady would be the future mistress of the Demon Palace.
She was originally worried about what would happen if her master married a spoiled and willful young lady, or what would happen if the future Demon Queen was difficult to get along with. After meeting Ling'er, this worry was completely eliminated.
"Zi Xi, are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that the Demon Lord is already engaged?" Looking at Zi Xi's nonchalant look, Bai Tian felt angry and anxious.
"What does it matter? Do I have to marry her if there's an engagement? Will the master like her if there's an engagement? Someone as powerful as the master, of course, would be with the one he likes." Girls always have fantasies about love. Zi Xi said this with her eyes still sparkling, as if she was also looking forward to her future love.
Looking at Zi Xi like this, Bai Tian was a little dazed for a moment.
"Will you marry someone you don't like just because of a promise in the future?" Zi Xi asked after a moment.
"Of course not, no, I mean I wouldn't make such a promise."
Bai Tian answered immediately, looking so anxious, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood.
Zi Xi pursed her lips and said, "That's enough. If you are like this, what about a person like the master?" After saying that, she turned around and returned to Ling'er with a smile on her face.
"Miss Ling, do you want to eat something? You don't look very well. If the old master sees you like this, he will definitely blame me for not taking good care of you."
She could never forget the nervous look on the old master's face when he gave her instructions. If someone didn't know, they would think he had found his long-lost daughter.
But with Miss Ling'er's personality, it's no wonder that she is loved by the old master. With such a lively Demon Queen, this cold Demon Palace will become more interesting in the future. Thinking of this, Zi Xi couldn't help but smile.
Ling'er shook her head helplessly. This girl, who knows what she was thinking. "Zi Xi, it's not that I'm hyperactive, it's just that I feel too stuffy staying in the room. You know I'm a patient, so I need to breathe more fresh air and move around more. This will be more conducive to my recovery, don't you think?"
"That seems to be true. All right, but wherever you want to go, you must bring your servant with you."
"Okay, this girl." No idea where Yao Lao got it from, but it seemed quite to her liking.
Bai Tian watched the interaction between the two and felt very complicated. On the one hand, he didn't want Xia Ling'er to affect Di Shitian's engagement, and on the other hand, he didn't want to make Zi Xi angry.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion this woman has fed them. Even the old Lord and Zi Xi are on her side. Don’t they know that the necessary condition for inheriting the position of Demon Lord is to fulfill the marriage contract with Yunhai City
This Lord hasn't married the Demon Queen yet, but he has such a confidante by his side. What will he do if the one from Yunhai City knows about this? Your Majesty, can you tolerate such a thing
"Actually, I want to go see your master. I wonder how he is doing now?" It happened that she couldn't find the way, so it would be good to let this girl lead the way, so that she wouldn't be like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.
"Then let me take you there." After saying that, Zi Xi made a gesture to lead the way. Ling'er was about to move when she was stopped by Bai Tian again.
Zi Xi reacted immediately and stood in front of Ling Er, staring at Bai Tian with her big eyes, "What are you doing? How dare you disrespect the young lady?"
Zi Xi is different from ordinary maids. She has profound cultivation, so her task is not only to take care of Ling'er, but also to protect Ling'er, even if that person is someone she knows.
"Zi Xi, please move aside. You don't understand the relationship between these two. Miss Ling and I are old acquaintances." After saying this, he glanced at Ling'er, who was standing behind Zi Xi with a calm face, "Are you right, Miss Ling?"
Ling'er smiled faintly, "Have we really known each other?" It seemed as if she was asking Bai Tian, but also as if she was asking herself. Have she really known Bai Tian like this
Bai Tian did not expect Ling'er to say this, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. In Bai Tian's subconscious mind, he did not think there was anything wrong with what he said and did now. Instead, he felt that he was doing it for Ling'er's good and to protect her life. So when he saw Ling'er's attitude, Bai Tian was surprised.
"Ms. Wang... Ling, how can you say that?" He almost called out the queen subconsciously.
"Bai Tian, stop making trouble. Since the young lady has said she doesn't know you, please move aside. I have something to do with the young lady." Zi Xi was a little angry. She didn't understand what was wrong with Bai Tian, who was always calm and composed. He was so weird today, especially his attitude towards the young lady.
"Zi Xi, you don't understand..." Bai Tian wanted to explain something, but Zi Xi didn't want to listen and interrupted him directly.
"I told you to get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"You! I... Hey..." Bai Tian felt really wronged at the moment, but if he tried to explain, there were many things he couldn't say. The more people knew, the worse it would be. Bai Tian had no choice but to step aside, but it was obvious that he was very angry.
Seeing Bai Tian make way, Zi Xi immediately turned around and said to Ling Er with a smile: "Miss Ling, let's go."
Ling'er didn't say anything, just nodded, and left with Zixi.
Bai Tian moved subconsciously, but was immediately noticed by Zi Xi, who glared at him fiercely. Her eyes seemed to say, if you dare to move again, I will not be polite.
Looking at the two people leaving, Bai Tian sighed heavily and then followed them.
The construction of the Demon Palace is similar to that of the Imperial Palace in Tianhe Continent. The only difference is that the color is not blue bricks and red tiles, but black. It looks solemn and dignified, and no one dares to blaspheme.
Zi Xi introduced Ling'er everything about the Demon Palace as they walked, and also talked about some rules and taboos.
Seeing that they were about to reach the palace where the Demon Lord lived, Bai Tian became more and more anxious. The gloomy air on his body gradually became heavier, and his whole aura seemed to have changed. He stared at the smiling woman in front of him with cold eyes.
Suddenly a voice appeared in my mind, "Kill her! Kill her! Kill her quickly! Kill her..."
Bai Tian slowly raised his hand, holding two poison needles between his fingers. The tips of the needles glowed green, a sign of poison. The more powerful the poison, the closer to green it was. This showed that this hidden weapon was deadly.
"Kill her, kill her quickly! Kill her, kill her!" Whenever Bai Tian hesitated, this voice would immediately come to his mind, like hypnosis, gradually wearing away Bai Tian's will. As if possessed by something, his eyes were dull, his movements were slow and stiff, and he looked lifeless. The poison needle gradually aimed at Ling'er's body.
"No... No, I can kill her..." His consciousness seemed to return for a moment. He just wanted Xia Ling'er to leave and not affect his master's future. He didn't want to kill her. This was not his intention. But his consciousness was still stronger than that strange voice. The poison needle went towards Ling'er, piercing through the air and approaching Ling'er's body silently... ...
