Wan Li Miao's gaze darkened, and she took a step but then turned back.

Seeing her take a step, Hei Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but then saw her pull her foot back, and his heart jumped again.

"What good would it do if I went? Should I go with the Divine Wind King? If he can't take me away, he probably won't release Yu Xuan." Wanli Miao's voice was indifferent, as if she didn't care about worldly affairs. She turned back to her chair, picked up her book, and ignored the black mist.

Black Mist suddenly knelt down, her voice filled with anxiety as she pleaded, "Madam, if the Divine Wind King doesn't see you, he will never release the Jade King. Even if the Mad Demon Ancient God arrives, he won't be able to save the Jade King! The Jade King is about to break through, and if his injuries aren't treated in time, he may never be able to break through again! Madam, I beg you, for the sake of your years of affection for the Jade King, please save him! The Divine Wind King is only holding the Jade King hostage because of you, Madam. If you step forward and talk to the Divine Wind King properly, he will definitely listen to you and release the Jade King."

Wanli Miao glanced coldly at the black mist, a look that seemed to pierce through the heart like an ice blade.

The black mist trembled involuntarily. He had never been so afraid of anyone's gaze. Even when facing the Mad Demon Ancient God, he had never felt such fear. Wanli Miao's gaze seemed to pierce through his heart, seeing everything clearly, and he even felt a strange pain as if her gaze were cutting into his heart and lungs.

Seeing Wanli Miao give him a cold look before turning her gaze back to her books, Hei Wu felt a chill in his heart, but he still took a deep breath and continued to plead, "Madam, please save the Jade King! The Jade King is so eager to break through, all for your sake. You can't be so heartless to him. Even if you can't help him, you should at least go and see him!"

Wanli Miao narrowed her eyes slightly, a mocking sneer curling at the corners of her lips. She looked down at the black mist with a cold gaze and said, "Is she truly loyal to the Jade King?"

Black Mist's heart tightened, but he remained kneeling on the ground, looking up at Wanli Miao with utmost sincerity and earnestness, saying, "I was saved by the Jade King and have always served him. I am the Jade King's most trusted subordinate. Everything I have done is for the Jade King! If anything happens to the Jade King, I will surely commit suicide to follow him!"

"Is this a show of loyalty?" Wanli Miao's voice grew colder, her gaze turning grim, and she said with a cruel sneer, "Or do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Black Mist shook his head violently, his eyes reddening as if he were about to cry from being wrongly accused. He said hoarsely, "This subordinate dares not lie to Madam. This subordinate begs Madam, please save Jade King! We really can't delay any longer. If Jade King's injuries cannot be treated, he will truly be unable to break through to the next level in this lifetime!"

Wanli Miao suddenly slammed the book in her hand onto Hei Wu's face, staring coldly at him. Hei Wu was hit in the face by the suddenly flying book, but he didn't flinch. He just looked at Wanli Miao with pleading eyes. He looked very humble, and his body, kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing tears and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Wanli Miao stared silently at the black mist, then suddenly burst into laughter, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Your acting is truly superb! Tell me, who sent you?"

Black Mist froze, staring at Wanli Miao in disbelief, and said hoarsely, "Madam, what are you saying? This subordinate does not understand."

"Don't you understand?" Wanli Miao suddenly lifted her sleeve, revealing a fiery red bracelet on her wrist. She twirled the bracelet and smiled playfully, "This bracelet was a gift from the Jade King."

The black mist's gaze lingered on the bracelet, speechless.

"At the time, he didn't tell me the full purpose of this bracelet. I originally thought it was a treasure to help me cultivate, but then I realized, how could a treasure look like this? Was it born in the shape of a bracelet?" Wanli Miao sneered, "He knew I liked to read. I never left the house, and besides reading to relieve boredom, I had nothing else to do. He deliberately recorded things about this bracelet in his books."

The black mist's gaze flickered slightly.

Wanli Miao suddenly smiled gently, pointed to the book that had just hit the black mist's face and was now lying on the ground, and said with a smile, "This is the one. If you don't know anything about this bracelet, you can take a good look at it."

Black Mist naturally knew something about this bracelet. It was left by Jade King's birth mother. It was said that the red color inside was the placental blood from when he was born. If the bracelet was fine, then Jade King was fine. If the red color inside the bracelet was abnormal, Jade King would inevitably be injured or unwell. Jade King's birth mother was afraid that her child would get sick without her knowing, so she specially ordered the destruction of the precious treasure to make this bracelet. This was a grand gesture. The precious treasure of heaven and earth was destroyed just to make this thing to check if her child was healthy. It can be seen how much Jade King's birth mother loved Jade King.

This bracelet was originally a treasure made by Hongbao. Although it's no longer entirely Hongbao's, wearing it still has the effect of promoting cultivation. When Jade King's birth mother passed away, she solemnly entrusted the bracelet to Jade King, saying it was for his future wife. Black Mist always thought that Jade King and Wanli Miao had never consummated their marriage, and that Jade King wouldn't give the bracelet to Wanli Miao. However, she never expected that Jade King had truly fallen in love with Wanli Miao and would give her this bracelet—a bracelet representing only the wife he approved of—to Wanli Miao!

Wanli Miao clearly saw the series of changes on Hei Wu's face, and sneered, "Since you're not reading this book, then you must know better than I do what this bracelet represents, right?"

The black mist lowered its head and remained silent.

"The blood in the bracelet is very bright red," Wan Li Miao said with a playful smile.

Black Mist stood up and said with a wry smile, "It seems you knew all along that I was acting, yet I still knelt before you, making a fool of myself."

Wanli Miao smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It's your business if you want to kneel. Anyway, I can take responsibility for it. I'm not afraid of shortening your lifespan. Naturally, I would love to see you kneel. You can kneel as long as you want."

Black Mist shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If you could smile like that at the Jade King, he would probably be willing to die for you."

Wanli Miao's smile vanished instantly. She glanced at him coldly and said in a low voice, "I know you won't betray Yu Xuan. Just as you said, if Yu Xuan dies, you will surely commit suicide to follow him. Now you're making up the story about Yu Xuan being injured, probably out of desperation. I only want to hear the truth. If you're unwilling to tell the truth, the door is right there. I won't see you off."

"Alright, I'll tell you the truth." The black mist sighed, his face looking as if he had aged several years in an instant, his voice weary as he said, "The Divine Wind King did indeed take the Jade King hostage. Although the Jade King was not injured, he was not in good condition either. I did not inform the Mad Demon Ancient God, I only came to inform you."

"You have no one behind you giving instructions?" Wanli Miao looked at him with slight surprise and asked in a low voice, "Why did you lie to me?"

The black mist smiled sheepishly and said, "I just wanted to find an answer for the Jade King."

"The answer?" Wan Li Miao's eyes flickered slightly.

Hei Wu raised his eyes to meet Wan Li Miao's sparkling gaze and sighed, "The Jade King loves you, and the Lady should know that."

Wanli Miao felt a pang of pain in her heart. This was a question she had been avoiding, but she never expected it to be asked by one of Yu Xuan's subordinates. Did even bystanders see things more clearly than she did?

Seeing that Wanli Miao remained silent, Hei Wu said in a low, hoarse voice, "In order to become the Demon God, the Jade King had been consuming beast blood. Although it was risky, it was the safest shortcut. However, because of Madam's words, the Jade King stopped consuming beast blood. But he was also eager to become the Demon God and give Madam her freedom. He wanted Madam to choose carefully after gaining her freedom, whether to be the Jade King or the Divine Wind King. So the Jade King stole the Mad Demon God's Dawn Elixir. However, after consuming the Dawn Elixir, he would lose all his cultivation for three days. But he didn't expect to be captured by the Divine Wind King."

"Because he stole Shen Xiaoye, you don't dare to go to the Mad Demon Ancient God. I'm afraid the Mad Demon Ancient God would rather he die than save him." Wanli Miao's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and it was impossible to see what she was thinking.

The black mist knelt down once again.

Wan Li Miao did not stop him, but glanced at him indifferently. This time, she took a step and did not retract it, saying coldly, "Lead the way."

Just as they arrived at Bottomless Cliff, the Mad Demon Ancient God had already arrived, clearly indicating that this news could not be kept from him.

Wanli Miao bowed slightly to the Mad Demon Ancient God and respectfully said, "Grandpa."

The Mad Demon Ancient God coldly watched her, merely grunting in a nasal tone. His gaze swept over the black mist, causing it to tremble slightly. Just as the black mist was about to speak, the Mad Demon Ancient God spoke first: "Yu Xuan's life can be spared, or it can be spared."

Wanli Miaoxin's heart tightened.

The Mad Demon Ancient God continued coldly, "The life of the Divine Wind King can be spared, or it can be taken away."

Wanli Miao lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Either of them can be spared, or neither can be spared," the Mad Demon Ancient God sneered.

Wanli Miao raised her head, meeting the meaningful gaze of the Mad Demon Ancient God, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "What choice does Father-in-law want me to make?"

"Your choice is naturally your own decision." The voice of the Mad Demon Ancient God carried a hint of amusement as he looked at Wanli Miao with a surprisingly gentle gaze.

Wan Li Miao subconsciously took a step back. Some people's smiles warm the heart, but some people's smiles chill the heart! The gentler the smile of such a person, the more dangerous it is. Or rather, when he smiles at you like that, you may still have some value to him, but this value is something you are completely unwilling to play or something you simply cannot afford to bear.

"If... I want to stay." Wanli Miao's voice was low and deep, like a stone thrown into an ancient well, yet its somber tone was undeniable.

Suddenly, the Mad Demon Ancient God reached out and hooked her. Wanli Miao instinctively tried to dodge, but how could she escape? She was pulled into his arms by a suction force. The scent emanating from the mature man made her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to break free from his embrace, but the Mad Demon Ancient God's hand held her tightly, not allowing her to move.

Witnessing this scene, Black Mist's heart leaped into his throat, and he trembled as he said, "Mad Demon Ancient God, she is your wife..."

"Are you reminding me?" The smile of the Mad Demon Ancient God turned cold.

Black Mist hurriedly shook his head, lowering his eyes and saying, "This subordinate dares not."

"Heh..." The Mad Demon Ancient God chuckled coldly, looking down at the person in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I've never understood this before, but today I finally do! Why do I want a grandson who can tame beasts? I could easily have a son who can tame beasts!"

Upon hearing this, the black mist looked at the Mad Demon Ancient God in disbelief, but quickly lowered its head, showing fear.

A chill ran through Wanli Miaoxin's heart, and a bitter light shone in his pupils.

The Mad Demon Ancient God reached out and grabbed Wanli Miao's chin, forcefully lifting her face. He brought his eyes close, gazing at her face with extreme greed. After a long while, he burst into loud laughter: "You were too young before, and you didn't show much allure. You were well-nurtured in the Jade King's Mansion. Now, at this age, you're in the prime of your alluring bloom. That brat Yu Xuan doesn't know how to appreciate 'flowers,' leaving you a virgin. It's just right for me to savor you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head, wanting to kiss Wanli Miao, when the black mist suddenly emitted a burst of fire, ambushing the Mad Demon Ancient God!

With a mere wave of his hand, the Mad Demon Ancient God vanished, and the black mist surged forward, a seven-foot-long golden staff appearing in his hand, which he aimed at the Mad Demon Ancient God's temple.

As soon as the Mad Demon Ancient God gave way, Wanli Miao hurriedly rushed into his arms and escaped. Just as she was about to cry out in alarm, the huge fireball in the Mad Demon Ancient God's hand smashed into the black mist. In an instant, the firelight disappeared, leaving only a pile of black ash.

"Overestimating yourself!" The Mad Demon God sneered, forcefully flicked his sleeve, and the pile of black ash was carried away by a gust of wind and disappeared completely.

Wanli Miao stood ten steps away from the Mad Demon Ancient God, her gaze as dark and gloomy as an ancient well. She felt an intense loathing for the man before her. Although he appeared to be around thirty years old and quite handsome, his cloudy eyes betrayed the marks of time. Despite her disgust, she had no choice. She knew that if she refused, the Mad Demon Ancient God would mercilessly kill Yu Xuan and Xuan Minfeng.

He cared about both men, considering them like brothers; naturally, he had to protect them. Besides, this whole affair started because of him, so how could he just abandon them?

Wanli Miao stared calmly at the Mad Demon Ancient God. The Mad Demon Ancient God smiled gently, but this gentle smile made Wanli Miao feel even colder.

This kind of smile is the true bottomless abyss, far more terrifying than the nearby bottomless cliff.

"If you choose to have them die, I can grant your wish." The Mad Demon Ancient God smiled very gently. His smile was very similar to Yu Xuan's smile on the surface, after all, they were father and son. However, their eyes were completely different. Every time Yu Xuan smiled at Wanli Miao, his smile was gentle and reached his eyes, while the Mad Demon Ancient God's smile did not reach his eyes.

"I want them all to live well." Wanli Miao looked straight at him, her voice clear and powerful.

"That's natural." The Mad Demon Ancient God smiled playfully. "I don't want to start a massacre. After all, one is my own son, and the other is a descendant of the Xuan family. I naturally don't want to kill unless absolutely necessary."

Wanli Miao nodded and said in a low voice, "I can agree to that."

"Alright, as long as you agree, this matter is extremely simple!" The Mad Demon Ancient God waved his hand and said, "You just need to tell the Divine Wind King that you truly love me and that's why you're staying in the God-Demon Realm. He will surely be heartbroken, and Yu Xuan will naturally take the opportunity to escape."

Wanli Miao frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I'll go alone?"

"I will naturally go with you." The Mad Demon Ancient God suddenly began to chant strange Sanskrit words. Like a magic spell, countless faint runes appeared and floated around him, enveloping him. In an instant, he turned into thin air and disappeared completely.

"You became invisible?" Wanli Miao frowned, looking at the spot where he had been standing.

"Heh." A cold laugh came from behind Wanli Miao.

Wanli Miao suddenly turned around, as if sensing she had touched someone, and quickly took a step back, saying in a low voice, "You're coming with me invisibly? To watch the show?"

"Watching the show?" The voice of the Mad Demon God carried an amused laugh. "Naturally, besides watching the show, I also want to see how my future little wife completely crushes the hearts of those stalker bees and butterflies. If I feel that my little wife still has feelings for them, or that they still can't forget you, I will still take action!"

"I understand." Wanli Miao said calmly, and strode towards the bottomless cliff. She knew that the Mad Demon Ancient God was right next to her, and very close. She could smell his repulsive aura.

Across from the Bottomless Cliff lies the Celestial Realm. Although Wanli Miao's cultivation level is not high, she possesses both Celestial God blood and Demon God blood, allowing her to easily break through the invisible barrier and reach the Celestial Realm. The Mad Demon Ancient God beside her, with his high cultivation level, also easily followed her into the Celestial Realm.

Xuan Minfeng held a transparent bottle in his hand, through which Yu Xuan could be clearly seen.

Although they had been separated for a long time and everyone had grown up and changed a lot in appearance, Hyun Min-pung still recognized the newcomer at first glance.

"Miao'er!" He ran forward excitedly.

Wan Li Miao remained motionless, looking at him with a cold and unfamiliar gaze. Although she recognized Xuan Minfeng and felt an overwhelming excitement, she tried her best to suppress it, appearing cold and pretending not to know him. She asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"You don't recognize me?" A hint of hurt flashed in Xuan Minfeng's eyes, but he still wore a bright smile and said gently, "That's true. So many years have passed, you probably don't recognize me, and you probably wouldn't guess that I would come to the God Realm in such a short time! Miao'er, do you still remember the mortal island? I am Xuan Minfeng!"

"Xuan Minfeng?" Wanli Miao's voice was flat, as if she were talking about something casual. She said indifferently, "I have some impression of him. That useless mortal from the mortal realm?"

"Miao'er?" Xuan Minfeng stopped a step away from her, incredulously asking, "Are you really my Miao'er? Why aren't you happy to see me? Don't you miss me at all?"

"Miss you? Why would I miss you? You're just a mortal in the mortal realm. I was just too lonely back then, so I used you, a mortal, to relieve my boredom. Do you really think that I, a dignified god, would care about a mortal?" Wanli Miao sneered, "You overestimate yourself."

"I am no longer a mortal. Miao'er, I am the God King now. I can protect you. No one will ever bully you again!" Xuan Minfeng frowned, but his voice still carried a hint of flattery, trying to warm her heart. He knew that too many things had happened since he left her side, which was why she was treating him this way. He was sure that none of this was what she truly felt; she was just being stubborn, angry that he had only appeared by his side now.
