Chapter 64: She Is Only My Younger Sister

……

"It seems the Saint Warrior side is merely his past life, not who he is now. Only the Demon side is his true self," Tarak said.

"But his other side will not disappear," said Shendu, appearing in soul form.

"If we want to obtain limited freedom in this world, we still have to maintain a connection with him; otherwise, no one knows if that Saint Warrior version of him might suddenly jump out."

Tarak's face looked strange. "I really didn't expect you, a Demon King, to be willing to share your things with another demon."

He even gave away half of the status of the Eight Trigrams.

"I am not willing," Shendu said faintly.

"But I have no choice!"

He certainly did not want to face that Saint Warrior version of Lv Cheng!

"Then, why did you bring me here?" Tarak looked at Xiaolong.

"To help him strengthen the power of Yin," Xiaolong said.

"We must sign a contract with him when we leave Hell. The constraints of Yin-Yang Balance will cause his Righteous Qi side to always have the upper hand, but your Shadow Kingdom is not within the scope of this contract."

"Uh... what are you trying to do?" Tarak had an ominous premonition.

Xiaolong's eyes glowed red, and Shendu and Ximu quickly understood his meaning.

"As the shadow of Reality, the Shadow Kingdom is also quite a good power," Shendu said.

The Shadow Kingdom was not created by Tarak; that thing existed originally, just like the space of Hell. Tarak and the Shadow Generals under him only discovered and broke into that shadow space by accident by relying on Black Qi Magic, obtaining the sovereignty of that world, and thus gaining a steady stream of power.

First come, first served!

Just as they, the demons, occupied the Eight Trigrams, Tarak and his Shadow Generals also occupied the shadow space. This kind of authority cannot be seized; it can only be shared, or borrowed using a few small tricks.

"What if I'm not willing to lend it?" Tarak clearly felt that the problem here was a bit serious; he didn't want to get involved.

Shendu narrowed his eyes slightly. "I indeed have no way to seize control of the Shadow Kingdom, but I do have the ability to forcibly borrow it."

Tarak's eye twitched. "Is it really necessary?"

The Shadow Kingdom is the dark side of the world, or rather, this thing is based on the dark side of life and the dark side of human nature. The darker human nature is, the heavier the shadow, and the more powerful the strength.

However, the power of the Eight Trigrams belongs to the basic rules of the material world!

Regardless of life, the power of the Eight Trigrams will not be affected.

Even if Earth exploded, these demons would still exist.

They aren't even on the same level of power; is it really necessary for you to fight me for these peanuts?

Moreover, he has already occupied the Shadow Kingdom. No matter how powerful Shendu is, he has no way to snatch the highest authority from him. This is a rule, the same rule as Yin-Yang Balance.

Every existence born based on rules cannot break the rules; the more powerful they are, the more they revere the rules.

Because this is the cornerstone of their existence.

Once the rules are broken, everything will return to chaos, and everything born based on the rules will disappear.

Shendu was full of Righteous Qi. "He is my brother! He is my demon compatriot!"

"If I don't help him, who will?"

"Either you be honest and give it yourself, or I will take it myself!"

"..." Tarak.

I knew you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to be this shameless!

"But the Shadow Kingdom is under the shadow of Reality in another world; I have no way to bring that thing over," Tarak said.

"Moreover, the Shadow Kingdom cannot be connected to Hell; otherwise, my power will be divided to your side."

The stronger the evil, the stronger the Righteous Qi.

If he stood with the demons, the power that the Saint Warrior Lv Cheng—whom Shendu and the others feared—could use would become even more powerful!

In the end, it would just be a waste of effort.

"Rest assured, I have already made preparations," Shendu said.

"Next to this world, there is a special space called the Dark Plane. During this time, I snuck in and killed a guy known to humans as the Dark King, seizing a portion of the King's status. Now, I can pull your Shadow Kingdom into the Dark Plane. This way, when he uses your power, it won't affect the Yin-Yang Balance."

Ximu looked confused. "When did you sneak in?"

He knew that Shendu's soul could travel through these special spaces at will, but their current power was so small; how did Shendu kill those dark creatures?

"The Dark Plane is disconnected from Reality, just like Hell. In that place, my power will not be limited by the Yin-Yang Balance," Shendu said.

"Moreover, those creatures in the Dark Plane are too low-level; they actually died on their own turf."

"They will die, but I won't."

"So, do you want to go over and occupy a position too?"

"I..." Ximu looked hesitant.

After entering the Dark Plane, it seems the more powerful the creature, the harder it is to leave, right?

He didn't have Shendu's ability to travel at will; it would be embarrassing if he got trapped inside.

"Forget it," Ximu shook his head.

"I'm not interested in a pitch-black world."

This old thing is really thinking about how to pit them at every moment.

If he were left in the Dark Plane, there would be one less competitor for the division of territory in the human world in the future.

Lv Cheng has already said that he is not interested in the territory that currently belongs to demons in this world; if the demons want it, they can have it.

Of course, they know what this means; it is nothing more than letting them go and reclaim the wasteland.

After all, demons are immortal; even if they can't beat those so-called Emperor-level demons, those demons can't kill them either.

……

"Why save me? Wouldn't it be better to just let me die?"

On the hospital bed, Lv Cheng, having undergone emergency treatment, woke up.

"A-Cheng, you really misunderstood." Ye Chang stood guard by the bedside, looking at Lv Cheng, who had his back to her, with a complex expression.

"I really didn't treat you as a substitute for anyone."

"Then why do you always think of someone else when you're with me?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Even a shameless person like me doesn't think of others when I'm with you."

The corner of Ye Chang's eye twitched; she almost lost her composure.

You brat, you actually know you're shameless!

"Do you know who I'm thinking of?" Ye Chang pulled Lv Cheng over.

"Thinking of whom?" Lv Cheng asked in confusion.

He could only sense that Ye Chang was often thinking of someone else, but as for who this someone else was, he did not know.

After all, the gap in Spiritual Power between him and Ye Chang was a bit large, and he wasn't yet able to sense that much.

However, besides Wen Tai, who else could Ye Chang be thinking of?

"Xinxia," Ye Chang said faintly.

When she was with Lv Cheng, she would always feel an inexplicable awkwardness, because she could not help but associate him with her daughter.

Before, she had always thought that Lv Cheng hadn't recognized her; after all, even if this child's Mind Element talent was exaggerated, it was impossible for him to see through her disguise.

"What's wrong with Xinxia? She's just my younger sister," Lv Cheng said with an innocent face.

Ye Chang took a deep breath and clenched her hands.

A-Cheng is injured! He is a wounded patient!

Can't make a move!

She had long known what kind of character this brat had!

Calm down! She also had a responsibility for this brat becoming like this!

It was her fault for not managing him well!

"..."

"If I wanted you to choose between me and Xinxia, who would you choose?" Ye Chang said seriously.

"Of course it's you," Lv Cheng said without the slightest hesitation.

"She is my younger sister, after all."

"..."

"Are you serious?" Ye Chang was a bit unable to react.

No, does this brat really treat Ye Xinxia as a younger sister?

"Otherwise?" Lv Cheng showed a look of confusion.

"If she and I were really developing a romantic relationship, do you think she would watch me sponge off a rich woman in Magic City without any reaction?"

"Xinxia wants to be my only one, but she is also very clear that she cannot change my philandering nature."

"The only way is to change direction."

"Lovers can be many, and romantic love is not lasting; it will weaken and disappear with the passage of time, and love is very fragile—it will shatter and disappear with the slightest setback."

"Therefore, Xinxia chose another path: to abandon fragile romantic love and become his closest person."

"Not lovers, and not mixed with those feelings between men and women; I will always be her older brother, and she will always be my younger sister."

"Stable, lasting, and no one can shake it."

"When we left Bo City after experiencing the disaster and arrived in Magic City, Xinxia had already made this point clear to me."

"This is her choice; she is unwilling to be one of many, she wants to be that only one."

"I can like many people, but she will always be my younger sister, an unshakable younger sister!"

"..."

"You..." The corner of Ye Chang's eye twitched wildly.

Younger sister? You bastard! You've tricked my daughter into a limp!

"What's wrong?" Lv Cheng said with an innocent face.

"Is there any difference between this 'younger sister' and a 'lover'?" Ye Chang said with disdain.

She had heard this kind of talk from men many times!

It might work to fool a little girl, but you want to fool her?

"Of course there is," Lv Cheng's expression turned serious.

"A lover can be deceived, but a younger sister cannot be deceived."

"A lover can be entered, but a younger sister is absolutely not to be entered!"

"..."

"Then what about me?" Ye Chang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You are the older sister," Lv Cheng said.

"Which kind?"

"Up to you, I won't force it."

"Then do you want to enter?"

"Up to you, I'm fine with either."

"Get lost!"

Ye Chang got up and left, speechless.

Little bastard!

How have you become more and more shameless?

It's fine to fool that daughter of hers who has never seen the world, but you want to fool her too?

However, this brat's acting is indeed a bit strange; there isn't a single flaw, as if he really thinks that way...
