Having said that, Zhang Yuanqing clearly felt Yin Ji stiffen all over.
The first expression on her face wasn't shock, nor joy, but a dazed, blank look!
A second or two later, extreme embarrassment and anger surged in her watery eyes, and her fair, pretty face flushed red.
In her eyes, Yuanshi Tianzun was flirting brazenly. She had already sensed that Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze was strange, and now he was deliberately imitating the Demon Lord's tone to call her that. It was blatant teasing.
In fact, she had felt Yuanshi Tianzun's affection for her before, but he was relatively restrained. As a well-known beauty of the Taiyi Sect, there were quite a few young talents who admired her.
Therefore, Yin Ji didn't take it to heart. As long as Yuanshi Tianzun didn't take any extreme actions, such as confessing his love, she could pretend not to see it.
Compared to those persistent suitors, Yuanshi Tianzun at least didn't disgust her and she was willing to be friends with him.
Unexpectedly, after becoming the Lord of the Sun, he stopped pretending and started teasing her with the Demon Lord. It was an insult to both the Demon Lord and her.
Yin Ji took a deep breath to suppress her embarrassment and anger, her eyes fixed with cold frost, and said: "You are now the Lord of the Sun, the most powerful demigod. If you want me, I, I can only submit. Even if I kill myself, it will be useless. I will still be refined into a spirit servant. But you can't use the Demon Lord to humiliate me, let alone him. You know our relationship!"
Yin Ji has a gentle but firm personality. After the Demon Lord's death, she wore a black veil to reject marriage, which was a silent protest against her teacher and sect.
"Actually, I can pretend to be dead and not admit that I am the Demon Lord, and the evil demigods wouldn't jump out to expose me," Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought.
The Demon Lord's lover had already accepted the fact that the Demon Lord was dead. If he silently pretended to be dead, the matter would be covered up.
In the past, Zhang Yuanqing might have tried to avoid this romantic debt. But after merging with the Sun's Source, his personality was somewhat affected, carrying his own dignity, upright and honorable.
The sun is a symbol of order and strictness. Everything in the world can be concealed, but only the sun eternally emits light, and no force can block it.
So Zhang Yuanqing never thought of hiding the Demon Lord's identity.
Zhang Yuanqing stared at her and sighed:
"I have the Cat King Speaker left by the Demon Lord, so it's normal to imitate the Demon Lord's speech, but the Cat King Speaker wouldn't record every detail."
After a pause, he said softly: "Our first meeting was in Jingcheng. At that time, I took the task of the Grim-eyed Judge to assassinate the Night Wanderer of the Taiyi Sect. The Night Wanderer I killed was called Xia Ri You Sheng, a promising rising star. At that time, you were already a Level 5 Saint, and the Taiyi Sect sent you to investigate this matter. You spent half a year locking onto me, chasing and killing me, and I managed to escape your encirclement every time."
"At first, you hated me extremely because I was a Fallen, and also lustful. Every time we fought, I liked to use foul language to provoke you, which was the kind you hated most."
"We truly developed a bond in the 'Nevernight Palace' instance in the Song Dynasty. We were matched into the same instance, and there, we were teammates. In half a year, I caught up with the level difference between us. For the sake of the overall situation, you didn't choose to face me in a life-and-death battle, but secretly guarded against me. I knew your personality and deliberately said some vulgar and rotten things to tease you. At that time, I had a good impression of you, well, to be precise, I coveted your beauty and wanted to sleep with you."
"In that instance, I shone brightly and saved you twice. You said that kindness is kindness, and evil is evil. You wouldn't be soft-hearted because I saved your life and wanted to eliminate me, a Fallen, for the sake of order. But in fact, from then on, your pursuit of me gradually became perfunctory."
"Later, the Grim-eyed Judge saw that my level was gradually catching up with you, so he formulated a hunting plan against you. He forced me to use myself as bait to lure you into a trap. There were six people ambushing you at that time, each of them a Saint."
"I didn't dare to disobey the Grim-eyed Judge's order and decided to kill you. I repeatedly told myself in my heart, 'A woman is just a woman. There are countless beauties in the world. Why put yourself in danger for her?'"
"But when I saw you being besieged by the Fallen, becoming more and more dangerous, my instinct overcame my reason. I attacked and killed six companions and saved you. At that time, I realized that I liked you, not coveting your beauty, but a heartfelt liking for you as a person, but at the time, I didn't know what I liked about you."
"In that battle, I almost died from the counterattack of my companions. You took me away and placed me in a safe house. You asked me why I saved you, why I betrayed the Grim-eyed Judge. As a Fallen betraying the Grim-eyed Judge, I was destined to live a life worse than death."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Yin Ji, whose eyes gradually melted the frost, and whose face was filled with shock and excitement, and smiled: "My answer was that in your eyes, although I am a rotten person who deserves to be cut into pieces, I was once a good person before being corrupted by the Fallen Holy Grail."
Yin Ji trembled and raised her hand, gently stroking Yuanshi Tianzun's face. In the flickering light, she saw that young, ordinary face again, with a trace of vicissitudes between his brows.
In an instant, she burst into tears.
She was sure that the person in front of her was the Demon Lord, the lover she had never forgotten, who was loyal until death.
These past events could never be said unless it was the Demon Lord himself.
After looking at him reluctantly for a while, Yin Ji wiped away the illusion and stared at Yuanshi Tianzun's face, choking with sobs: "This is your real appearance."
She knew that the Demon Lord wore a disguise ring back then, and she knew that the unforgettable face was not the true appearance of her beloved.
But she never explored the true face under the mask because she knew that it was the Demon Lord's last dignity and stubbornness.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, and his majestic and deep voice became gentle: "Yin Ji Jie Jie, I'm back!"
Yin Ji's heart was beating wildly at this moment. The excitement and joy of regaining her beloved almost overwhelmed her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
But there were still some doubts in her heart. She couldn't believe that the Demon Lord was still alive. After all, this was a fact recognized by the demigods.
But she didn't dare to ask, fearing that the truth was a trick, a humiliation.
She couldn't bear to lose him again.
Zhang Yuanqing seemed to see through her thoughts and said: "Last year, I was besieged and killed by the Lord of the Stars and the Lord of the Taiyin, and my body and soul were destroyed, but I wasn't completely dead yet."
He told Yin Ji in detail about his resurrection, concealing his relationship with the Void Demigod and only saying that it was an investor.
"So it was you!" Yin Ji laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes, "So I had already seen you, already met you."
She couldn't help but throw herself into Zhang Yuanqing's arms.
After a long time, she barely calmed down her emotions and tightly grabbed her lover's hand, as if afraid of losing him again, and tentatively asked, "Do you have the confidence to defeat the Lord of the Stars?!"
"Do my best and leave the rest to fate!" The majesty on Zhang Yuanqing's face seemed to be eternal.
Yin Ji pursed her lips: "Your lovers..."
The majesty on Zhang Yuanqing's face seemed to be eternal.
But this time it was a bit forced: "It was reckless when I was young. I will try not to disturb them and give them the best compensation I can."
"What about Guan Ya?" Yin Ji asked again.
This was what she cared about most. She was the Demon Lord's first love, and Guan Ya was Yuanshi Tianzun's first love.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't say anything.
Yin Ji didn't ask any more questions and smiled softly: "My level is too low to help you, but I will wait for you in Jingcheng. Does the Demon Lord's identity need to be kept secret?!"
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "I am the Demon Lord, and the Demon Lord is me."
He looked at the sky that had already darkened and said, "Yin Ji Jie Jie, I have to go!"
Time was short, and he had to gather the treasure map fragments as soon as possible.
Yin Ji threw herself into his arms again, hugging him tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.
But this time, she controlled the time perfectly, broke away from his embrace, and nodded with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing turned into golden light and rushed into the clouds.
Yin Ji stood there for a long time, gazing in the direction he disappeared, unwilling to leave.
About five minutes later, Elder Hong Ying arrived at the small courtyard, looking at her student's tear-stained face, she was shocked and asked in a low voice, "What did he say to you?"
What she wanted to ask more was, "What did he do to you?!"
Yin Ji cried and laughed, "Teacher, he's back, he's back!"
"He's back?" Elder Hong Ying frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yin Ji said, "Yuanshi Tianzun is the Demon Lord!"
Elder Hong Ying was struck by lightning, petrified on the spot.
Northwest.
In a small, economically backward city, in a villa with a garden in the suburbs far from the city center, the eighth guardian of the Dark Night Rose, King of the Forest, was holding two bikini-clad young women, swaying left and right in the spacious living room, with dynamic music blasting from the speakers.
He was about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a well-proportioned and strong physique. The profession of Wood Elf gave him a gentle temperament. Even without using his abilities or relying on money, he could hook up with countless high-quality women.
There were two dining tables covered with white cloth in the living room, filled with fruits, wine, and dishes. Chefs were constantly replacing the hot dishes.
There were nine scantily clad sexy women in the living room. They had supermodel-like legs, but they had cups that supermodels didn't deserve.
Their body fat percentage was perfect, with big breasts, high buttocks, thin waists, and round legs.
These women were all members of the Dark Night Rose and were all Wood Elves.
They belonged to the eighth guardian, King of the Forest. After the first guardian, Shanhe Yongcun, announced a low-key lurking, the King of the Forest summoned the nine female subordinates with the best looks and held a daily and monthly pleasure party in the villa.
The King of the Forest was a breeding-type Spring God, with an instinctive desire for mating and reproduction. However, the traditional breeding methods were too boring, so he borrowed and innovated many breeding methods.
For example: Roulette Treasure Hunt.
Nine female Wood Elves formed a circle. Whoever the roulette landed on, the King of the Forest would plow behind that person. Which Wood Elf could make the King of the Forest shiver on her body would be rewarded with a portion of spiritual material or the equivalent amount of money.
For example, the Lychee Scramble, Dragon Sucking Water, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, etc., will not be described in detail.
After dancing wildly for half an hour, the King of the Forest picked up the remote control and switched the dynamic music to gentle piano music, intending to gather the women to play games.
Suddenly, the nine female subordinates closed their eyes and fell to the ground one after another, falling into a deep sleep.
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the King of the Forest, switching to combat mode. The potted plants placed in the living room grew wildly, as if they had come to life.
The three Huskies outside the yard and the two tabby cats in the side hall stood up at the same time, their pupils flickering with a ghostly light, their fangs and claws growing, and muscles rising under their fur.
As a Spring God, he was never short of high-combat power pet beasts around him.
From the body of a sleeping female Wood Elf, a figure wearing a peaked cap and a mask emerged, the light in the eyes under the brim of the hat was gloomy and contained madness.
Seeing this person, the vigilance of the King of the Forest was slightly reduced. He frowned and said, "Pure Yang Zhangjiao, what are you doing here? How did you find me?!"
Pure Yang Zhangjiao laughed hoarsely, "The last time we met, I implanted a seed in your soul. Hey, don't react so exaggeratedly. I implanted a seed in the soul of every guardian of the Dark Night Rose, except for those three Day Wanderers."
After a pause, he got straight to the point: "I can't contact Shanhe Yongcun anymore, so I can only come to you."
Hearing this, the King of the Forest felt a slight relief and replied:
"The first guardian ordered all of the Dark Night Rose to lurk. Without his permission, no one is allowed to go out or carry out any missions."
Pure Yang Zhangjiao frowned, "Why?!"
He only had contact with the Dark Night Rose, so his information was relatively closed off.
The King of the Forest showed a look of awe, "The war to seize the Sun's Source has begun. Now the Lord of the Taiyin and the Lord of the Stars are fighting for the Sun's Source."
Raging anger and jealousy surged in Pure Yang Zhangjiao's heart.
As a madman, as a former Golden Crow, he had a strong desire and ambition for the Sun's Source.
Pure Yang Zhangjiao immediately calmed his madness and said,
"Contact Shanhe Yongcun, I have important information, important information about Yuanshi Tianzun."
Jingcheng,
The highest-level meeting of the Five Elements Alliance. Zhang Yuanqing, with the golden sun branded on his brow, sat upright at the conference table, watching holographic projections descend one after another.
He looked around at the nine elders with different expressions and smiled, "Tell me, who should I start settling accounts with?"
