"A God-King?" Wanli Miao sneered, giving Xuan Minfeng a cold and indifferent look as she sized him up and down, and said ruthlessly, "Can a God-King from the Celestial God Realm compare to a Demon God from the Demon God Realm?"

"The Demon God?" Xuan Minfeng's body trembled. He frowned as he looked at Yu Xuan in the bottle and said coldly, "He is indeed about to break through to the Demon God realm, but so what? He's still in my hands!"

Xuan Minfeng turned to look at Wanli Miao, his gaze gentle, and said in a mild voice, "Miao'er, you don't need to be afraid of him. This is the Xuan family's treasure, the Divine Binding Bottle. Even if he really becomes the Ancient Demon God, he won't be able to escape. If I want to kill him, with a thought, he will turn into a pool of blood inside the bottle."

"He should call me 'Mother,'" Wanli Miaoyun said calmly. "How can I watch him die? Let him out."

Yu Xuan could clearly hear Wan Li Miao's voice from inside the bottle. When he spoke, no one outside could hear him.

Xuan Minfeng was stunned, looking at Wanli Miao in disbelief, and asked blankly, "Miao'er, what are you saying? Why don't I understand? Didn't he kidnap you, destroy the Beast Taming Clan, demand that you hand over the Beast Taming Music Score, and force you to marry him? Why do you say he should call you 'Mother'?"

Wan Li Miao coldly glanced at him, the ruthlessness in her eyes like a sharp blade cutting and tormenting his heart.

Wanli Miao sneered, "Does the destruction of the Beast Taming God Clan have anything to do with me? Perhaps I wish for their destruction more than anyone else! I wasn't kidnapped by him; I went to the Demon God Realm voluntarily. In terms of blood relations, he's my cousin, and I have the blood of a Demon God in my veins!"

"The blood of a demon god? You are a demon?" Xuan Minfeng stared at her in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"That's right, I am a demon! Heh, your Xuan family probably wouldn't accept someone like me, would they?" She said calmly, "You want to exchange Yu Xuan for me, but you haven't considered that I don't belong to the Celestial Realm! I won't go with you! Now, release Yu Xuan, and we can part ways amicably."

Xuan Minfeng frowned and stared at her for a long, long time, trying to find a trace of lying in her eyes, but in the end he only saw a calm and unwavering gaze.

He shook his head vigorously, still not believing what she was saying.

Xuan Minfeng stepped forward and hugged Wan Limiao, but Wan Limiao pushed him away with all her might. Xuan Minfeng let her push him away and fell to the ground.

Xuan Minfeng raised his head, looking at Wanli Miao's indifferent gaze, his heart aching, yet he still met her with gentle eyes, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, "I can take you away, no matter who you are, all I know is that you are Wanli Miao from the mortal realm island! We can go back to the mortal realm island! Come with me, okay?"

His voice was almost pleading, a humble plea reminiscent of his childhood, begging his mother to look at him again, begging her not to sell him. He thought he would never experience this feeling again, and he had sworn never to be so humble. But facing the person before him, he had no choice but to be humble. If humility could bring back the woman he once knew, he would gladly remain humble before her forever.

Wanli Miaoxin's heart trembled, and a complex ripple flashed in her eyes.

Go back to the island? She really wanted to go back. She hadn't liked it before; it felt like a prison. But now she realized that it was a paradise!

Is it still possible to go back now?

There's no going back! She knew better than anyone that she could never go back!

Wan Li Miao sneered, "Go back to that wretched island? If you want to go back, go back yourself! I have no interest in that place! I'll say it again, release Yu Xuan!"

"You care about him that much?" Xuan Minfeng smiled bitterly as he looked at Yu Xuan in the bottle, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment, but even more so with self-blame. If he had been by her side earlier, she wouldn't have developed feelings for the guy in the bottle, and she wouldn't have been so heartless to him.

Wanli Miao looked at him calmly and remained silent, which could be considered a tacit agreement.

Xuan Minfeng forcefully shoved the bottle into Wan Li Miao's hand and said in a deep voice, "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

Wanli Miao lowered her eyes, concealing the reluctance in them, and asked in a low voice, "How do we release him?"

Xuan Minfeng silently chanted ancient Buddhist chants, and the bottle suddenly shattered. Yu Xuan transformed into a stream of light and appeared beside Wan Li Miao.

Wanli Miao hadn't expected that releasing Yu Xuan would destroy the Binding God Bottle, and she frowned slightly as she looked at Xuan Minfeng.

"Are you pitying me?" Xuan Minfeng said with a bitter smile, "If you pity me, then come with me! I became the God King to save you. If the God Realm didn't have you, I wouldn't have come here at all. Since you don't want me anymore, why should I care about other material things?"

Yu Xuan was somewhat weak. There was no divine energy from the divine realm in the bottle. He sat cross-legged wearily and it took him a long time to recover.

Wanli Miao glanced coldly at Yu Xuan and said in a low voice, "Recovered?"

Her gaze stung Yu Xuan. He pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "I've almost recovered."

"Let's go." Wanli Miao didn't even glance at Xuan Minfeng or Yu Xuan before turning to leave.

Xuan Minfeng clenched his fists tightly, but couldn't help stepping forward to stop her. He glared at Yu Xuan with hostility and asked in a deep voice, "Miao'er, are you really willing to go with him? What's your reason? Tell me, what's your reason? I know you must have a reason; you're definitely not in love with him!"

Yu Xuan also looked at Wan Li Miao with curiosity. He knew in his heart that Wan Li Miao definitely did not love him, but he longed to hear her answer. He longed for her to say that she came to save him because she loved him and was willing to return to the God and Demon Realm with him. Even if she was just using him to stop Xuan Min Feng from bothering him, just hearing her say those words would drive him crazy.

Wanli Miao coldly stared at the two men in front of him. The aura of the Mad Demon Ancient God was right behind him. He only released his aura to himself to let him know of his existence. The two men in front of him had no idea that he was there.

"I've never had any love for either of you. I only used you as a lifeline, clinging to you and using you when I needed company the most!" Wanli Miao sneered, looking at them with disdain, and said ruthlessly, "Now, I don't need you anymore. You're like trash to me; I'll just throw you away. If you keep bothering me, you'll only be humiliating yourselves."

Xuan Minfeng and Yu Xuan trembled simultaneously, but they suppressed their hurt and calmly looked at Wan Li Miao.

Yu Xuan said in a low, hoarse voice, "Since you think we're trash, why did you come to save me? You could have just ignored me and let the Divine Wind King kill me!"

Xuan Minfeng frowned, looking at Wanli Miao with sorrowful eyes, and said softly, "Did you really not put any sincerity into your life in the mortal realm? Even if you were just using me, couldn't you continue using me? Did I really have no value at all?"

"Everything in the mortal realm is a period I most want to forget. Don't mention it in front of me again!" Wanli Miao's face was as cold as ice, and her voice was devoid of emotion as she said, "Yu Xuan, I saved you only because you are Tian Kuang's son."

"Tian Kuang..." Yu Xuan's voice trembled slightly. He recalled what she had said before, that he was considered her son. Could it be...?

Yu Xuan was suddenly alarmed. He stepped forward and grabbed Wan Li Miao's hand with great force, his voice suddenly erupting in anger: "What did you promise him! I knew you must have had your reasons! He didn't come this time, but you did. He couldn't have been unaware of this! What exactly did you promise him?!"

This was the first time Wanlimiao had ever seen Yuxuan so frantic. He always kept his emotions stable and always smiled gently. She had never seen him so loud and out of control.

Wanli Miao gasped as her wrist was squeezed painfully.

Xuan Minfeng saw the pain on Wan Li Miao's face. Although he wanted to find out what had happened, he didn't want her to get hurt in the slightest.

Xuan Minfeng forcefully shoved Yu Xuan away. Yu Xuan, who had just recovered, was no match for Xuan Minfeng. Yu Xuan staggered back several steps, his voice hoarse like a trapped beast, clutching his chest and growling in anguish, "I don't need you to agree to his conditions to save me! You're humiliating me! I'd rather die than have you agree to his conditions!"

Wanli Miao's pupils contracted slightly, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent.

A voice suddenly echoed in Yu Xuan's mind: "Even if you die, do you think you can escape what I want? This girl is quite clever. She knew she had no power to refuse, so she used her last remaining strength as a condition to exchange for your and the Divine Wind King's lives, while also preserving some dignity for herself. I will definitely favor her in the future! But if you don't know how to respect this stepmother, I don't mind losing one of your sons and letting her have more!"

This was transmitted to his son using the Demon Clan's secret telepathic technique. Yu Xuan's body trembled along with it. He couldn't even kill the Divine Wind King now, so he was no match for this ungrateful bastard.

Yu Xuan took a deep breath, frowned as she looked at Wan Li Miao, her emotions calming down slightly. "Are you sure you've agreed to him?"

A voice suddenly entered Wanli Miao's mind, "I have already warned that brat." Wanli Miao saw the fear flash across Yu Xuan's eyes and naturally knew that the Mad Demon Ancient God had already sent him a message. In fact, the Mad Demon Ancient God's message to her now was completely unnecessary, or perhaps he was using this opportunity to warn her again that she could not show mercy to Yu Xuan.

Wanli Miao looked coldly at Yu Xuan and nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

Xuan Minfeng had a bad feeling. He roughly pulled Yu Xuan over and pressed, "What did you say? Who did she agree to what conditions?"

Yu Xuan gave a desolate smile, not answering, but only mocking, "This is all your doing. You didn't save her at all, you ruined her. If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. I made a promise with her that once I became the Demon God, I would give her freedom. Unfortunately, you ruined all of this. You selfish bastard, you know nothing, yet you rashly attacked and captured me, without distinguishing friend from foe!" After saying this, as if he was at his wit's end, Yu Xuan could not control the frustration and anger in his heart, and suddenly punched Xuan Minfeng hard in the face.

Xuan Minfeng was momentarily stunned. The punch landed on his eye, causing a sharp pain, but his heart ached even more. He vaguely realized he had been meddling; he hadn't understood what was happening, had no idea she possessed demonic blood, and knew nothing before capturing Yu Xuan. Now, seeing Yu Xuan's furious expression, even a fool would know that Miao'er wasn't afraid of Yu Xuan, but of someone else entirely!

"What is it?!" Hyun Min-pung's voice rose a few decibels, as if to hide his guilt.

Wanli Miao reached out and grabbed Yu Xuan, saying in a low voice, "Come with me to the Realm of Gods and Demons!"

Yu Xuan suddenly shoved Wan Li Miao away, utterly enraged, "I'd rather die than see you marry him!" He roared and cursed at everyone around him, "You old bastard, where are you? I'm going to kill you! Come out here, get out here!"

In a moment of panic, Wanli Miao suddenly swung her hand and slapped Yu Xuan across the face, trying to wake him up.

Yu Xuan was indeed stunned for a moment, but then seemed to regain some clarity.

Wanli Miao said coldly, "Some things will still happen even if you die, so you might as well live and watch them closely."

"I don't want to see it! I'd rather die than see that scene!" Yu Xuan roared in a low voice, his voice already hoarse and broken.

Wanlimiao slapped him again with her backhand, her voice suddenly rising as she roared, "Foolish! You think it's peaceful just because you're dead and can't see anymore? What a coward!"

Yu Xuan was about to say something when Wanli Miao's voice echoed in his mind: "As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. You will break through to the Demon God sooner or later, won't you? I just promised him. I will try my best to stall for time and wait for you to save me."

Heaven knows how difficult it was to avoid the Mad Demon Ancient God's telepathic communication with Yu Xuan. If she hadn't slapped Yu Xuan twice so hard that the Mad Demon Ancient God was enjoying the show, she wouldn't have been able to escape his detection at all.

Yu Xuan suddenly calmed down, looking sadly at Wan Li Miao. He wanted to send a telepathic message back, but he felt that a divine sense was trapping Wan Li Miao. This was probably the reason why she hadn't sent a telepathic message before. If Wan Li Miao hadn't hit him, this divine sense would have weakened, and she wouldn't have been able to spare a single thought to send a telepathic message back to him.

Xuan Minfeng frowned as he looked at Yu Xuan, knowing that Yu Xuan would not explain everything properly. If he wanted to understand everything, he could only ask Miao'er.

Before Xuan Minfeng could speak, Wanli Miao seemed to have already guessed what he was going to say, and sneered, "Xuan Minfeng, I have never had any feelings for you. From beginning to end, I have only used you, a mortal. I never even thought that a mortal like you would come to the God Realm. Although it was a surprise, it will not change my original intention. My feelings for you are only to use you to keep me company. I have no love for you! Don't be foolish again. This is my warning. If it weren't for your meddling today, everything would be fine. I hope you will not interfere in my affairs in the future. I am a demon god, and you are a god king of the Heavenly God Realm. We are natural enemies! You had better not waste your time on me, lest I take action against you. I only spared you because of the kindness you showed me for the years you accompanied me back then! Now get out of here!"

"You really want me to get out?" Xuan Minfeng simply looked at her quietly, his gaze still filled with doting affection and gentleness, and said softly, "Miao'er, the harsher you are to me, the more I feel that you care about me. I know you have your reasons, you're deliberately trying to get rid of me, aren't you?"

His gentle voice fueled Wanli Miaoxin's anger. He was indeed the one who caused everything today, but she also felt a strange mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling. Everything he did was for her own sake, so how could she blame him? Although his actions today were the trigger, if he hadn't done so, the Mad Demon Ancient God would have threatened her, and then he would have personally held Yu Xuan's life in his hands.

Wanli Miao wanted to send him a telepathic message, but because the Mad Demon Ancient God's divine sense had locked her in place, she was unable to do so.

With a face as cold as ice, she glanced sideways at Xuan Minfeng, her voice ruthless and indifferent: "If I truly had feelings for you, I wouldn't have returned to the God Realm to be the young lady of the Beast Taming God Clan; I would have stayed in the mortal realm back then."

If she had really gone back to the Beast Taming Clan to be the young lady back then, she would have definitely chosen not to and stayed with him! It's just that she was practically captured back then, so she told that lie to keep him from worrying. Now, this lie is hurting him instead. Maybe this will make him hate her, and maybe if he hates her, he will let go and forget about her!

Xuanminfeng, let me go. Hate me or resent me, I am no longer Miao'er from the mortal realm, and you are no longer Feng-gege from the mortal realm. Our fate ends here. This is for the best for you and for me! Find someone better than me!

"I don't care what you think of me, or whether I have any place in your heart, or whether I've ever truly entered your heart. I don't care! All I know is that you are deeply etched into my heart, engraved into my life. If I hadn't met you, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't be here at all! You gave me the courage to live, so I will continue to live for you. You are my motivation to live, so I will never leave you! Now that I have found you, I will not let go. If you leave, then my motivation to live will be gone. It would be better if I had never met you and had found a way to commit suicide on that island! If you don't want me to follow you, then I will die right here in front of you!" Xuan Minfeng's voice was low and hoarse, but every word was clear and polite. He looked deeply at her and spoke with utmost seriousness.

Wan Li Miao never imagined that Xuan Min Feng was so stubborn, but his words touched her heart.

If he survived because of me back then, then wasn't it because of his appearance that I didn't commit suicide after playing that piece?

If he lives because of me, then his appearance gave me the courage to live. How could I use the life he gave me to serve the Mad Demon Ancient God?

If that's the case, it would be better to finish that piece back then and leave this world gracefully!

Why should you be so humble as to agree to the Mad Ancient God's request to save them, thus degrading yourself?

Suddenly, Wanli Miao seemed to have a sudden realization. Her eyes, no longer cold, sparkled with joy. She smiled brightly, her voice carrying a hint of seduction, and said, "Actually, we rescued each other back then. Being able to live happily and carefree on the island for five years was already a blessing. If we die now, it's not a loss, right? Xuan Minfeng, don't you think so?"

Xuan Minfeng was taken aback. Looking at the smile in her eyes, he nodded subconsciously. Suddenly, as if he understood something, he raised a gentle smile and said, "It's not a loss!"

"So you're not afraid to choose death now? If I die, you'll die with me?" Wanli Miao smiled beautifully.

Xuan Minfeng seemed captivated by her smile, his gentle smile deepening as he nodded and said, "Wherever Miao'er goes, I will naturally follow. What is there to fear in death?"
