"We several elder acknowledge the punishment, for the peace of the underworld, for the Dark Lord to be wise again, we old folks must kill this troublemaker." Then these old folks actually ignored Shen Chen's threats and came to kill me. Unfortunately, these old folks with only the strength of ghost kings, how could they be Shen Chen's opponents? Shen Chen just waved his hand and knocked them all down, and they all passed out. I think Shen Chen didn't directly kill them, it's because these elders, although confused, are really loyal to him. He doesn't want to kill these elder, especially in this turbulent time, so I understand.
Actually, Shen Chen didn't need to take action. These old folks are not my opponents. Although they all have the strength of ghost kings, I have the strength of four ghost kings in my body. Even if I can't beat them directly, I can escape to Space. So just now, I wasn't afraid at all, just very curious about my true identity. So I directly ignored the elders lying on the ground and turned to Shen Chen and asked, "Chen, what did they mean just now? Am I really from the demon realm?"
"Nothing, woman, don't take it to heart. Just consider it a few old men talking nonsense. In fact, no matter what your status is, Master won't let go in the future. Besides, we even have Little Ink now. You want to run, but you can't escape." Shen Chen said indifferently, then showed a rare gentle look, gazing at me firmly, as if I would disappear.
"Chen, I have the right to know the truth. If you don't tell me, I can wake up one of these elders and ask them the same." Curiosity made me really want to know the truth, especially about the fact that I am a witch. Is a witch a woman from the demon world, just like me and taoshi are a kind of demon?
"Women, I give up on you. Forget it. If you want to know about Master, then you'll know. Do you remember that night in a private villa under Master's name, when you saw a hanged ghost? That hanged ghost told you about seeing another you. Shen Chen suddenly brought this up, and he asked without any hint of embarrassment. Indeed, Shen Chen not only has a strong presence, but also a thick skin.
It seems like he didn't know about this at the time. No matter how you look at it, it should have been the hanged ghost I forced to speak. Now it seems that the information the hanged ghost told me was actually orchestrated by Shen Chen. Damn it, I've been played by Shen Chen again. I'm just curious why Shen Chen would do this. Really curious."
So I hurriedly replied, "Oh, I remember now. So, was that hanging ghost arranged by Master? And does this have anything to do with my background?"
"No, woman, this shouldn't be referred to as your background, but rather your past life. As for that hanging ghost, it was of course arranged by Master. At that time, Master had not yet returned to his position. After being separated from you, for some reason, he bought that haunted villa. Upon seeing a ghost that looked just like you, he felt a deep sense of sadness. Originally, Master thought you had betrayed him and expected to be angry upon seeing a ghost resembling you, even to the point of dispersing her soul. But Master was not angry at all. Instead, he wanted to protect her as much as possible. This feeling troubled Master at the time, so he began to investigate the events of that year. He didn't stop until he found you again and brought you to that villa, intending to see if you knew anything about it. As a result, you showed no sign of knowing about the matter and even signaled the hanging ghost to pay attention for you. At that moment, Master realized that you also didn't know the truth of the matter. At that time, Master had not yet returned to his position and had shallow cultivation, so he didn't notice that a strand of your soul was missing. It wasn't until Master returned to his position that he discovered it and remembered everything. Now, since you want to know the truth, Master will return the missing strand of your soul to you in a moment, and you will naturally remember everything," Shen Chen said in a somewhat low voice.
"Chen, why is it taking a while? Why not immediately? I'm really curious about my past life and any connection I have with you. Also, why would I, a daughter of the demon realm, love you, the Dark Lord of the underworld?" I impatiently pressed Shen Chen for answers. I have a quick temper, so of course I would keep asking. If I didn't, it wouldn't be true to my character.
"Mommy, Little Ink knows that Daddy is also waiting for Arrogant to return. Little Ink guesses that Daddy might have wanted Mommy's soul to be complete, so he sent Arrogant to retrieve Mommy's true soul." Before Shen Chen could respond, Little Ink interjected, eagerly looking at Shen Chen for approval.
"Truly worthy of being Master's son, so clever. Woman, look at you, your intelligence is not even as good as a five-year-old child's. When you saw Master this time, didn't you notice that Arrogant was missing? Ah, Arrogant pities you for nothing, being so good to you, yet you don't even care about it. When Arrogant comes back, Master might tell it not to care about you anymore, you heartless woman," joked Shen Chen.
"Chen, don't be like this. I was just about to ask, but Little Ink beat me to it," I said, feeling a bit guilty, as I held Shen Chen's arm.
"Never mind, women, Master wants to be Arrogant and won't argue with you. Arrogant is even better to you than Master." Shen Chen said to me, sounding a bit jealous.
This made me feel even more guilty. There really have been too many things going on this time, especially worrying about Little Ink and Shen Chen. I really didn't have time for Arrogant. So at this moment, I said to myself in my heart, when I see Arrogant again, I will definitely let Arrogant drink some of my blood to make up for it. Alas, there's nothing I can do to make up for it, so I can only use my blood, which is still somewhat useful, to make up for it.
Shen Chenjian lowered his head and fell silent. Busy Yufeng turned and said, "Woman, Master is just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. Look, Arrogant is back."
I raised my head and indeed saw Arrogant's figure. I got up and rushed over, hugging Arrogant and stroking its soft fur. Then I put my finger to its mouth and said with a smile, "Arrogant, to thank you for helping me, I'll let you take a few sips of my blood today to nourish yourself. How about that?"
"Hostess, you're not running a fever today, are you?" Arrogant actually spoke to me with a human voice at this moment, and with a puzzled expression, which surprised me a lot.
"Arrogant, I'm not running a fever. I really want to thank you. Hurry up, don't be polite with me, or I'll get angry. Um, if I get angry, I might self-harm, and then it will cost blood wave. Will you still not absorb it?" Seeing that Arrogant showed no sign of wanting to absorb it, I quickly threatened.
Arrogant saw my serious expression and gently bit my finger. I only felt a slight pain, like being bitten by a mosquito. The pain was within my tolerance range. Arrogant didn't suck much, just two sips, then used his tongue to lick my finger, and the teeth marks immediately disappeared.
"Arrogant, don't be polite. Suck a little more. The blood you just sucked might not be as much as the mosquitoes usually suck from me!" I joked.
"Hostess, that's enough. I've absorbed too much, I can't digest it all. In hostess's words, it's a waste, right?" Arrogant said sincerely. I know Arrogant is worried that I'll lose too much blood. Oh well, I know Arrogant is too good to me, it won't absorb too much. Looks like I'll have to find a way to repay its kindness in the future.
Now I'm eager to know about my past life and the entanglement with Shen Chen, so I smiled and said, "Alright, Arrogant, when you've finished digesting, absorb a little more. Now, quickly return the strand of soul that I'm missing, let me see what my past life was like. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, Arrogant, can you speak now?"
"Hostess, actually I have always been able to speak, but the master doesn't let me speak, afraid of scaring human beings, so hostess, I'm sorry." Arrogant said somewhat embarrassed.
"It's okay, I know you're doing this for my own good, afraid of scaring me. But you forgot, I can see ghosts, since I'm not even afraid of ghosts, would I still be afraid of you speaking? Hehe, right? Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, hurry up and take out my lingering soul." I urged anxiously.
"Okay, it's in this jade bottle," said Arrogant as he took out a white jade bottle from his collar and handed it to Shen Chen. Worried that I might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "hostess, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that only the master can cast the spell."
I nodded to show my understanding. At that moment, Shen Chen waved his hand, and I saw the ghost that looked exactly like me, except this ghost really seemed like an idiot, not moving at all.
"Women, stop looking and close your eyes, embrace Yuan Yi, Master is casting a spell to bring your lingering soul back to its place," I immediately said, curious about my own lingering soul.
Upon hearing Shen Chen's words, I quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and embraced Yuan Yi obediently. Then I felt as if my sea of knowledge had been replenished and forcibly filled with memories.
So it turns out that I am truly a person from the demon realm, and I am also the only daughter of the former Demon Lord. In fact, I am the princess of the demon realm. Not only that, I am also the offspring of the former Demon Lord and the Princess of the Divine Realm. No wonder my blood is so nourishing. It's just a bit regretful that shortly after my birth, according to my sovereign, who is the former demon lord, my mother was taken back to the divine realm by the Supreme of the Divine Realm.
So the sovereign is very heartbroken that I don't have a mother to take care of me, and he dotes on me in every possible way. Even when I fell in love with a beggar from the demon realm, who was actually sent from the underworld, the sovereign agreed to let me keep him by my side. And this beggar is Taoshi, who is now the Demon Lord.
I really can't believe it. When we were kids, he always followed me around like a little tail. Now he's so ambitious, not only becoming a Demon Lord himself, but also trying to take over the underworld. I never expected this. But he does seem to be quite capable as a Demon Lord. This is a long story, and it's closely related to me.
