Chapter 110: Volume 1 Chapter 110   Demon Lord x Nine-tailed Fox x Orthodox Sect Leader (15)

Jiang Zhi felt something strange beneath her, and rolled her eyes.

She hadn't expected men to be so shameless.

Has the naive sweetness from before already disappeared?

Because the girl had just broken through, her surging spiritual power would only be disadvantageous to her, so Fuxue let her off for now.

Fuxue hadn't appeared before her for several days, seemingly gone to handle the demon realm's seal.

Jiang Zhi thus left the palace alone and went to various places in the demon realm to look around.

The demon race differs from other races; they dress sexy and unrestrained, acting as they please.

They revere the strong.

They also capture outside cultivators and demons, removing their spiritual roots and powers, leaving them only able to serve as slaves.

On the bustling street, various iron cages were set up, inside which were the captured slaves.

Their complexion ashen, they lay powerless on the ground, eyes empty and devoid of light.

Jiang Zhi's arrival instantly drew the attention of the vendors and passersby.

She wore a veil that covered her face, yet her demeanor was extraordinary, making people involuntarily want to approach.

Not long after, several people came up to greet her.

Jiang Zhi refused their request to travel together and continued walking forward on her own.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face inside a cage.

The vendor guarding the cage, seeing this, hurriedly said: 'Sir, this cultivator we just captured has top-notch looks and a perfect figure; although her spiritual root hasn't been crippled yet, if you buy her, I will cripple her spiritual root right now.'

The vendor's praise of her top-notch looks referred to the world's female lead, Gu Yan'er.

Gu Yan'er was dressed in disarray, her black hair messy and hanging loose, yet it did nothing to diminish her beauty; her eyes held tears filled with hatred.

She originally intended to go to the demon race to investigate whether the nine-tailed demon fox that married the Demon Lord was the same fox entangled with Huo Gege.

But she didn't expect to be captured by the vicious demon race, falling into such a desperate situation.

Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised, but after recalling the world's plot, she felt relieved.

In the plot, there is such a segment: the female lead Gu Yan'er is captured by the demon race and reduced to a slave; upon learning this, the male lead comes alone to the demon realm.

At that time the Demon Lord was still in seclusion, and Huo Xiu Bai rescued Gu Yan'er single-handedly, suffering severe injuries, and narrowly returned to the sect.

This is a key plot point that deepens the feelings between the male and female leads.

But this plot segment occurred ahead of schedule, while the Demon Lord did not go into seclusion as the plot dictated.

Jiang Zhi didn't want to meddle, leisurely glanced at the female lead in the cage, and prepared to leave.

777 suddenly said: 'Host, if you save the female lead, you might be able to complete the task of turning the villain into a good person.'

Jiang Zhi suddenly remembered that she still had such a task.

She paused her steps and rubbed her eyebrows.

To be honest, she didn't want any involvement with the female lead.

The male lead's memory was erased by her using one of her fox tails; if she saved the female lead, Huo Xiu Bai would surely come looking for her, and she feared that the male lead's villainous alter ego would then remember her again.

Good person, good person—what exactly qualifies as a good person?

If the villain personally released the female lead, would that accomplish that task?

Seeing her hesitation, the vendor immediately stepped forward and continued: 'Her father is the former sect master of the Sword-Riding Sect—have you heard of the Sword-Riding Sect? It's the number one sect, a mortal enemy of our demon race.'

Jiang Zhi didn't expect a petty vendor to know the female lead's identity.

Before she could finish thinking, the female lead Gu Yan'er in the cage suddenly shouted: 'Demonic people are the most treacherous! I tell you, when my Huo Gege arrives, you'll all die!'

Jiang Zhi: '……'

She roughly understood why the vendor knew her identity.

'Alright.' Glancing at the furious female lead, Jiang Zhi said: 'No need to cripple her spiritual root; I want her.'

He threw over a bag of spirit stones; the vendor opened it, his eyes lighting up, and exclaimed excitedly: 'Sir, take your time.'

Jiang Zhi used the Immortal Binding Rope to pull Gu Yan'er out of the cage.

Gu Yan'er couldn't sense any demonic aura on her, perhaps it was concealed, but as a fellow woman, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

'You… you… can you let me go?'

Jiang Zhi kept walking, casually saying: 'Not yet.'

Hearing her tone slightly loosen, Gu Yan'er's eyes brightened for a moment, then she immediately asked: 'Then how can you let me go?'

Jiang Zhi turned around, her snow gauze veil fluttering in the wind, revealing a delicate jaw and perfectly contoured lips.

'You'll know when the time comes.'

Just as her words fell, five or six demon race members suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

The highest-ranking demon among the five glanced them up and down with ill intent, saying: 'You aren't from the demon race, are you?'

Jiang Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers gripping the Immortal Binding Rope tightened.

Gu Yan'er, standing behind her, saw their aggressive approach and felt a bad premonition.

Although the woman rescuing her was strong, she could not match those five demon race members.

If……

'You, you loosen my bonds, and we'll deal with them together.' Her words were halting, filled with tension.

Jiang Zhi ignored her words, her gaze sweeping over the five demon race members, and she asked softly: 'Do you know who I am?'

The five demon race members burst into loud laughter upon hearing her, seemingly mocking her confidence.

'No matter who you are, we will not let you go!'

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Zhi's lips as she said: 'I am the wife your Demon Lord just took in.'

The demons were stunned for a moment, and Gu Yan'er, bound behind, stared at her back with a shocked expression.

She was actually that nine-tailed fox?

The five demon clans had not yet discerned her true nature when a sudden, overwhelming pressure appeared above them, forcing them to kneel.

A snow-colored figure suddenly stood beside the maiden, her dark eyes slightly narrowed, her aura unsuppressed, exuding the terrifying pressure peculiar to a superior.

It was the Demon Lord's arrival.

Seeing this, the five demons were shocked.

"Madam." Fu Xue lifted her veil and gently brushed the corner of her eye.

Jiang Zhi snorted coldly, avoided his fingers, and snapped, "What use is marriage? In this demon realm, not a single demon knows me."

Fu Xue knew the moment she stepped out of the palace and rushed over as fast as she could.

Noticing the furtive glances of the nearby demons, he frowned, his eyes dark and unfathomable, suppressing the surging dark desires.

He did not want to.

He did not want others' gazes to fall upon her.

She could only be looked at by him, possessed and invaded by him.

"Be good, come back with me." Fu Xue's expression was calm, her voice revealing nothing unusual, yet her arms tightly encircled her waist, blocking everyone's view.

In an instant, all the nearby demons turned to ash.

The five demons kneeling on the ground didn't even have time to beg for mercy; they vanished where they stood, their souls utterly destroyed.

The terrifying aura that made one shiver without cold caused the bound Gu Yan'er to tremble uncontrollably; the gap in realm and power was too great, leaving her with only a suffocating, near-death sensation.

Jiang Zhi glanced back at the female lead and said to him, "Husband, let's release her first."

Fu Xue stroked her soft, obedient fox ears and whispered, "Good."

The man never asked her about the bound female lead, as if he would agree to anything she did, reaching the point of utter compliance.
