Ye'er looked at her mistress with her back turned, puzzled but not daring to ask any questions. The current mistress seemed a bit fierce. Although the previous mistress was often not quite right in the head, she was still very kind to her. The current mistress seemed normal, but she gave her a strange feeling.

"Alright." Ruoxue turned around, and Ye'er was startled. She pointed at Ruoxue's face in disbelief and said tremblingly, "Miss, what's wrong with you...?" She really couldn't understand how her mistress's birthmark could disappear and reappear so suddenly.

"Hehe." Ruoxue smiled faintly, offering no further explanation, and waved, "Come on, take me to the main hall. I want to have a proper meeting with the Blood King!"

Although Ye'er was puzzled, she was a sensible girl and knew that her mistress was unwilling to talk about it. As a maid, she could not ask too many questions, so she agreed to lead the way.

Han Xingyu squinted at the departing figure, then followed after it.

Inside the lobby.

Blood King and Ruoxue's father sat together, seemingly playing chess idly, but the killing moves on the chessboard were fierce and unpredictable, and the small chessboard was filled with a strong sense of killing intent.

As Ruoxue walked in, both God-Kings already knew who the newcomer was, but neither of them looked up to see who it was. Instead, they continued their game of chess, each taking turns placing a piece.

Ignored? Ruoxue raised a cold smile, not disturbing the two of them, and found a seat for herself. Ye'er was also very sensible, serving her a cup of tea before leaving.

Han Xingyu remained hidden in the shadows, right under the noses of the two God-Kings, without being discovered, all thanks to the ability of the Root of Gods to conceal its power.

Ruoxue leisurely sipped her tea, her gaze carefully examining the Blood King that this body favored.

Blood King was indeed a handsome man, with a face as beautiful as Pan An, yet he possessed a resolute aura. There are many good-looking men, but most are too effeminate. It is rare to find a man who is both beautiful and exudes a strong masculine charm. It must be said that he was a man with a good appearance.

In modern times, he could also captivate the masses. In an era where modern plastic surgery is very popular and Korean male stars are all the rage, this Blood King might even be a bit better than those people. However, Ruoxue knew in her heart that the transformation ability of this divine realm might be even more advanced than plastic surgery. Who knows if the Blood King's face was changed later with divine power?

She never superficially indulges in matters of appearance.

In the past, when she was an assassin, the people she had to kill were the pinnacle of the world. They were rich, powerful, and good-looking, but she never showed any mercy.

Her heart had long been as cold as iron. No matter what world she was in, it was always dark. Her sunshine would never exist. So, she was reborn again, still in such a body, a dark body.

Her gaze shifted from the Blood King to the father of the body's owner.

Despite how crazy or ugly this body was, the father doted on her immensely, seemingly because he felt guilty towards her mother.

Her mother seemed to have disappeared when she was three years old. Her father searched the entire Demon Realm but still couldn't find her. He firmly believed that her mother would come back and that he would definitely find her. All he could do was be good to the owner of this body, because that was the only way to prove that he and she had a connection.

The owner of this body had always wanted to know what had happened between his father and his mother, but had never been able to find out.

The body's owner's father was quite kind and approachable.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. Could she ever have such affection? As an orphan, what she longed for was family. Although it felt like she was stealing someone else's happiness, she really wanted to feel the love of a father.

Ruo Yuhao's hand trembled slightly, and he finally said with a bitter smile, "I lost."

With the composure of a great general, the Blood King smiled and said, "It was just a momentary lapse in judgment, Mr. Ruo."

Ruo Yuhao frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "The Blood King is already a God King at such a young age, so he must have his own unique abilities."

These words sound like praise, but they have a hidden meaning behind them. The so-called unique point is inevitably a derogatory term.

Ruoxue raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that her father didn't really like the Blood King. In that case, the matter of annulling the engagement was easier to resolve. She had previously worried that her father liked the Blood King and wanted to entrust her to him. Now it seemed that this was not the case. If it weren't for her mother's arranged marriage, her father probably would never have thought of marrying her off to the Blood King.

Ruo Yuhao ignored the Blood King's somewhat gloomy face. Clearly, the Blood King had also heard the derogatory meaning in Ruo Yuhao's words.

Ruo Yuhao looked at Ruoxue, and that glance carried a lot of complex emotions.

Ruoxue was taken aback. This glance was complex, filled with heartache, helplessness, and even more so, sorrow.

It seems that her father was unwilling to marry her off to the Blood King, but the body's former owner was very fond of the Blood King, so her father had no choice but to agree to the marriage. Now, it seems that his complicated gaze is filled with more regret and helplessness. Could it be that her father already knows the real reason why the body's former owner suddenly became aroused? How much does he know?

Ruoxue smiled brightly, but her smile looked a bit abnormal; she looked like someone with mental problems.

Han Xingyu, hiding in the shadows, twitched her lips slightly and thought to herself: This woman's acting skills are top-notch.

"Xue'er..." Ruo Yuhao called out to her, but hesitated. He really didn't know how to tell her that the Blood King had come to annul the engagement.

The Blood King coldly glanced at Ruoxue, and Ruoxue clearly saw the contempt and cruelty in his gaze.

"Daddy." Ruoxue's voice was sweet, but too childish, like the voice of a three or four-year-old child. She looked like an adult, but her voice sounded like that of a three or four-year-old, which was obviously abnormal.

The Blood King's contempt deepened. Just as he was about to pull out the annulment letter from his sleeve, he suddenly heard Ruoxue slowly ask, "Father, who is this ugly monster?"

"Ugly monster?" Ruo Yuhao was clearly stunned.

With a slightly silly smile, Ruoxue pointed at the Blood King with seemingly innocent naivety and said in a child's voice, "Look, Daddy, this person is ugly, isn't he an ugly monster?"

"You mean the Blood King?" Ruo Yuhao took a long time to come to his senses, looking at his daughter in disbelief. Didn't this child always say that the Blood King was very handsome, that she liked him very much, and that she wanted to marry him as soon as possible?

Blood King's face darkened, his fists clenched, and he tried to suppress his emotions. Looking at an ugly woman calling him ugly, he wished he could strangle her right then and there. But for Ruo Yuhao's sake, he could only endure it for now and deal with this blind woman properly after the engagement was called off!

Ruoxue bit her finger and said pitifully, "Is he the Blood King? Is he the one I'm engaged to? I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to marry an ugly monster. His face looks like the bottom of a pot, he doesn't smile at all, he's so ugly, so ugly..." She shouted louder and louder, fully playing the role of someone who was out of her mind, unable to control her emotions, and similar to a mental patient.

When Ruo Yuhao saw his daughter screaming wildly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that the child had another episode!

Ruo Yuhao sighed bitterly, stepped forward and pulled back the frantic Ruo Xue, gently coaxing, "Xue'er, be good, quiet down. If you're too noisy, you'll disturb others. They'll wake up and come to settle scores with Daddy. They might hit Daddy. Xue'er doesn't want to see Daddy get hit, does she?"

Hearing this, Ruoxue's lips twitched slightly. This old man's way of persuading people was truly unique! No wonder, when the original owner of this body went mad before, no one could persuade him, but this old man's words always calmed him down. This old man really... really knows how to deceive!

Ruoxue pretended to calm down, rubbed her nose, and said with a frightened look, "Xue'er doesn't want anyone to hit Father."

Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her head, and coaxed, "If you don't raise your voice, no one will hit Daddy."

"But..." Ruoxue said in a very troubled voice, "Xue'er doesn't like ugly people who can't smile. Xue'er doesn't want to marry an ugly man!"

The Blood King's face darkened further. He had already taken out the letter of annulment, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that if the engagement were to be annulled today, who would actually annul whom? If people knew that he was rejected by the madman, how would he ever face anyone again?

Just as the Blood King was about to put away the annulment letter and say, "I will come another day. Miss Xue'er seems to be in a bad mood today," his hand suddenly hurt, and the annulment letter fell to the ground.

Ruoxue had been keeping an eye on the Blood King out of the corner of her eye. She was worried that he would leave and come back to annul the engagement. She saw that he was about to put away the annulment letter, but she didn't know why he, as a god king, couldn't hold onto things.

Ruoxue didn't think much of it. Seeing something fall to the ground, she exclaimed frantically, "Wow, candy! Candy! There's white candy on the ground! It looks so delicious!"

Just as the Blood King was about to pick up the annulment letter, Ruoxue beat him to it, clutching it tightly in her hand. Laughing heartily, she looked at the letter with a look of pure delight and exclaimed, "Father, look, look! This candy is so big!"

Ruo Yuhao's face darkened. Ruoxue was facing the annulment letter to Ruo Yuhao, and he could clearly see the words on it, especially the three extra-large characters "annulment letter". Moreover, the Blood King's handwriting was very neat and decisive.

"It seems that the Blood King has come today not just to discuss matters with me, but that he has everything prepared!" Ruo Yuhao's voice was full of sarcasm.

The Blood King's expression also turned grim. He was certain that someone had attacked him, but he had no idea who had done it. Besides himself, Ruo Yuhao, and Ruoxue, there was no one else in the hall. He had been focusing on Ruoxue and Ruo Yuhao; it couldn't have been them. Who was it? Who could have attacked him without him noticing? Only the Demon God could possess such skill. Could it be his father? Was his father watching him? Had the news already reached his ears?

He frowned subconsciously, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I have come here today to discuss the annulment of the engagement with Mr. Ruo."

"Discuss?" Ruo Yuhao sneered, "You've even prepared a letter of annulment, clearly you came prepared. Is the Blood King determined to leave a letter of annulment even if I disagree?"

The Blood King's gaze swept around. He didn't know where his father was spying on him, nor did he understand why his father had made him drop the annulment letter on the ground. What did his father mean? If his father had been spying on him all along, he should know that he was just about to put the annulment letter away. Didn't his father want him to marry Ruoxue? Why was he now making him expose the annulment letter? Did he see Ruoxue's crazy state just now and change his mind, wanting him to annul the engagement?

He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Since things have come to this, I have no intention of retracting the annulment letter. What does Mr. Ruo wish to do?"

"I don't want to do anything..." Before Ruo Yuhao could finish speaking, he saw Ruoxue run to the table. He stopped talking. More worried about his daughter than about this matter, he hurriedly chased after her.

Ruoxue, holding a calligraphy brush, said with a grin, "Daddy, Xue'er can make candy too!"

Ruo Yuhao was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion, but then he saw Ruoxue take the paper and start writing.

When will my daughter be able to write?

Ruo Yuhao's gaze became even more bewildered, and upon seeing the words on the paper, his expression turned to surprise.

The paper clearly stated the words "letter of annulment," but the content was written in imitation of the Blood King's letter of annulment.

The Blood King's letter of annulment stated that because Ruoxue was both crazy and foolish, she was not worthy of him, and therefore he annulled the engagement.

It was written so bluntly, yet it was all true, which is why Ruo Yuhao was so angry. At this moment, Ruoxue wrote: "Because the Blood King is ugly and can't laugh, he is an absolute freak and is not worthy of me. Therefore, I hereby annul the engagement."

Ruo Yuhao stood frozen, clearly shocked.

Ruoxue bypassed him and walked to the Blood King. The Blood King did not look at what Ruoxue was writing; his mind was only focused on where his father was hiding.

Ruoxue said in a hysterical voice, "Blood King, your candy doesn't taste good, here you go!"

The Blood King was momentarily confused, and said coldly, "This is my letter of annulment. Miss Ruoxue has no choice but to accept it. My mind is made up; I will not marry you!"

He was about to hand the annulment letter that Ruoxue had placed in his hand back to her when he noticed the handwriting was wrong. He glanced at it casually, but his whole body froze. He stared in disbelief at the crazed woman in front of him, his voice trembling with anger as he said, "What do you mean?!"

Ruoxue pretended to be naive and said, "I won't marry you either."

The Blood King gripped the annulment letter tightly, coldly asking, "Where is the annulment letter I gave you?"

Ruoxue rubbed her stomach and said, "Was the candy not tasty? I've already eaten it. This is for you. Do you want to try it? It's delicious!"

"You madman!" the Blood King gritted his teeth. He struggled to suppress his murderous urge, glanced around, and seeing his father still hadn't come out, could only suppress his anger. He glanced at the annulment letter again, and just as he was about to tear it up, his hand was suddenly stopped by a force, preventing him from tearing it. He stared in disbelief at the empty air. Did his father really want him to accept this annulment letter? Although he could achieve his goal of annulment, how could he save face?

Ruo Yuhao finally recovered from his shock, stepped forward, and coldly looked at the letter of annulment in the Blood King's hand. He said in a low voice, "Blood King, I have thought about this matter of annulment with you for a long time. In the end, I still think that what you said makes sense. My daughter is indeed not suitable for you. However, I still need to ask my daughter about her marriage. Who knew that my daughter agreed and exchanged the letter of annulment with you. This matter is over. As for the contents of the letter of annulment, I will not tell anyone else."

Ruoxue glanced at her father sideways, amused. "Old fox, so cunning!"

The Blood King's expression softened slightly. His purpose in coming here today was to annul the engagement. He originally intended to humiliate Ruoxue with the annulment letter, but now it had turned into an exchange of annulment letters. In the eyes of outsiders, the engagement was annuled willingly by both parties, and Ruoxue had nothing to be ashamed of. Although he had not achieved his goal of humiliating Ruoxue, he had still achieved his objective. If he did not step down as Ruo Yuhao suggested, and the two sides eventually turned against each other, he might not even be able to annul the engagement.

The Blood King was also an extremely clever man who knew when to stop. Since Ruo Yuhao had promised not to reveal the contents of the annulment letter, neither of them would lose face. From the outside, it would just look like they had peacefully annuled the engagement. He could also speak with confidence in front of his father. Why not? The reason his father had always disagreed with his annulment was simply because he was afraid that Ruo Yuhao would be unhappy. This result was not bad!

"Since you've said so, sir, I have nothing more to say. I hope this matter can be settled amicably. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." The Blood King finished coldly, turned, and strode away.

Ruo Yuhao watched the Blood King's departing figure with a gloomy expression. Ruoxue plopped down in the armchair, toying with the annulment letter the Blood King had given her. Originally, she wanted to destroy the letter, since there wasn't a single pleasant word in it. But then she thought that to avoid trouble later, it would be better to leave evidence so that the Blood King wouldn't be able to go back on his word.

Ruo Yuhao turned to look at Ruoxue and saw that she looked normal, just like when she had just gone crazy. Although his daughter was sometimes normal and sometimes crazy, her eyes had never shown such wisdom as they did now.

"Xue'er?" He was somewhat doubtful whether the person in front of him was really his daughter.

Ruoxue vigorously wiped the birthmark off her face with her sleeve, revealing a flawless, fair complexion, which stunned Ruoyuhao once again.

"Father, I'm not crazy anymore, and the birthmark has been removed." Ruoxue knew that this old man was not someone who could be easily fooled.

"What exactly happened?" Ruo Yuhao's expression turned serious.

Just as Ruoxue was about to speak, a soft laugh suddenly came from the shadows.

Ruo Yuhao quickly stepped in front of his daughter, looking towards the source of the laughter, and asked warily, "Who's there?"

Han Xingyu stepped out from behind the screen, a wicked smile on his face, and said, "I am an alchemist. I cured your daughter's birthmark and madness."

Ruoxue frowned slightly. The man in front of her was even more handsome than the Blood King. A person with such a appearance must be extraordinary. But he seemed to be helping her. Why?

Ruo Yuhao looked at Ruoxue with a puzzled expression. Ruoxue saw the man wink at her, as if asking her to cooperate. In fact, she didn't have a good excuse to tell her father why she was no longer crazy or ugly. Now she had a perfect excuse, but could she really trust this man?

Fine, I'll take the plunge. Even if I can't trust them, I'll use them for now!

"Yes, Father, his medical skills are superb. He cured Xue'er." Ruoxue lied without blushing or panting.
