The Death Demon God wanted to agree immediately, but when he met the Mad Demon God's sinister eyes, he suddenly calmed himself down, exhaled slightly, frowned, and began to seriously consider the problem.

In Nagi's opinion, he shouldn't even consider it; he should turn around and leave without hesitation.

Whether I live or die, he probably won't care. Besides, my affair with the Mad Demon Ancient God should have already angered him.

I have wronged him, and with his cold-hearted nature, he should want me, the sinner, dead more than anyone else.

But why... would he think about it so seriously? Does he really care that much about himself?

A glimmer of hope flickered in her beautiful eyes, but it quickly dimmed again. She was secretly worried, hoping that he would care about her and protect her, but she was also afraid that he would really do something foolish and risk his life for hers.

The Death Demon God looked at the Mad Demon God with a hint of mockery and said in a deep voice, "How can I believe your words? Since you don't believe I won't fight you, how can I believe you will release her after I die?"

"I truly admire the Death Demon God's ability to remain so calm. It seems you aren't truly madly in love with her after all." The Mad Demon God tightened his grip, making Nagi's face even more grim. He sneered, "But whether you love her or not, now you only have the choice to believe me or not, to choose whether she lives or dies."

The Death Demon God frowned slightly, his fist clenched tightly under his sleeve, his nails digging into his flesh, causing pain, but keeping him awake.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were clear and indifferent.

The voice of the Death Demon God was very calm and devoid of any emotion: "If you dare to kill her, I will fight you to the death. But if you release her, I will surely spare you."

The Mad Demon God narrowed his eyes, as if trying to see a trace of anxiety in the Death Demon God's eyes, but to his disappointment, all he saw in the Death Demon God's eyes was indifference and icy coldness.

The Mad Demon Ancient God naturally wouldn't easily let go of the person in his hands, and probingly said with a playful tone: "Death Demon Ancient God, the choice is in your hands. If you die, I will release her; if you live, I will kill her."

"The choice is now in your hands. I have no reason to agree to your ridiculous request. Do you really think this woman's life is worth my own? I consider her dispensable. If I can keep her, that would be best, but if you insist that I give something in exchange for her, then there is no need." The Death Demon God's eyes were cold and ruthless, and a cruel sneer appeared on his lips.

Meeting his merciless gaze, the glimmer of hope that had ignited in Nagi's heart vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but give a self-deprecating smile.

What am I hoping for? Am I hoping this heartless man will have feelings for me?

If your talent is clearly to see whether someone has a heart or not, and you can't see their heart, why doubt that your talent is wrong?

He has no heart! Nagi! You fool! What foolish thing are you doing?! Stop hoping! You were destined to be unloved from birth!

The self-mocking smile on her lips grew stronger and stronger, spreading to her eyes and bringing out a touch of desolate sorrow.

She closed her eyes; she didn't want to see, she didn't want to see this heartless man anymore.

Death may not be so scary. I hope I won't have this talent in my next life.

The Death Demon God dared not look at Nagi, for fear that if he did, he would lose his composure and give the Mad Demon God a handle to use against him.

What he needs to do now is make the Mad Ancient God think that Nagi is dispensable to him, not worth risking his life for, but that if anyone actually kills her, he will not let them off easily and will fight to the death. He's giving him the choice of whether to release her or not!

The Mad Demon God did hesitate, but he was no simple man, so how could he be fooled by just a few words?

The initial tension of the Death Demon God flashed through his mind, and the Mad Demon God couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, with a hint of mockery and coldness.

This trick, trying to fool yourself? You're still too naive! If she's truly dispensable, even if I killed her, there's no need for us to fight to the death. The power of the laws is there, but the Death Demon God doesn't care at all. Does he really want to let her go?

The Mad Demon Ancient God sneered, "Fine, it all started because of this woman. Even if we're destined to fight to the death, we shouldn't have spared her! I'll kill her now, and then we'll duel!"

Despite her words, the Mad Demon Ancient God's movements became somewhat slow, his grip tightening gradually, and Nagi's face grew increasingly pale.

The Death Demon God clenched his fists tightly, but ultimately succumbed, saying in a low voice, "Release her, and I promise you!"

A triumphant smile flashed in the eyes of the Mad Demon Ancient God, who narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let the Death Demon Ancient God end it himself."

Nagi opened her eyes in disbelief, meeting the reluctant gaze of the Death Demon God, and her heart ached.

Was he just faking it? Feigning indifference, was he trying to negotiate with the Mad Demon Ancient God? Does he care about me?

But why can't I see his heart?

Could it be that there's something wrong with his talent, making it impossible to distinguish between his sincerity and pretense?

The Death Demon God laughed gently, his voice tinged with helplessness, like a child, softly lamenting, "You witch, when did you steal my heart? Only now do I realize that I didn't love you just because of your beauty."

The Death Demon God's gaze deepened slightly. He clearly remembered how beautiful she was when they first met, so beautiful that he felt an urge to rush up and possess her.

At that time, she was surrounded by three god kings. Those guys were forcing her to take off her clothes. She couldn't stand it and stepped in to save her. She never meddled in other people's business, but she saved her at that time. She couldn't understand why she had to meddle. Actually, at that time, she had already been moved by her helpless appearance and wanted to protect her.

Nagi was being choked by the Mad Demon Ancient God. She shook her head violently, but couldn't utter a word.

The Mad Demon Ancient God coldly urged, "I have no time to listen to your love talk! Death Demon Ancient God had better hurry, or I might really make a mistake."

The Death Demon God smiled faintly, his body suddenly trembled, and his cultivation gradually dissipated.

A chill emanated from his body like wisps of white smoke, indicating his cultivation progressed from the mid-stage of the Demon God realm to the early-stage of the Demon God realm, and finally to the God King realm.

Nagi stared at him in a daze. She saw it—a heart, a fiery red heart!

It wasn't because his talent was flawed, nor because he was heartless, but because he couldn't see it. The cultivation level of the Demon God was something he couldn't see. So... he wasn't seduced by his own talent either. His love was genuine.

In an instant, she understood everything, but regret overwhelmed her like a raging river.

She hated herself for agreeing to that man's request. She was poisoned, so what? She could just die. Why did she have to drag him down with her?

Just as the Death Demon God was about to further lower his cultivation level, he suddenly heard a mocking voice: "Do you really think that, given the Mad Demon God's nature, he would spare Nagi? Even if he did spare Nagi's life, without your protection, what kind of life will she face in the future? Due to her talent, without your protection, Death Demon God, she will become a tool for the Mad Demon God to vent his anger, or be handed over to his subordinates to be tortured by thousands. Are you willing to close your eyes and let her fall into the deepest hell? A fate worse than death?"

Nagi was startled. The voice was all too familiar; it belonged to the mysterious man who had plunged her into this crisis.

At this moment, Han Xingyu wore a gentle smile. Clearly, she had been nourished by love these days, and her personality had changed quite a bit.

The Death Demon God frowned at the newcomer, while the Mad Demon God coldly said, "A mere main god dares to interfere in my affairs! I'll count to three—"

Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow and interrupted, "Count to three and you'll kill me? We'll see if you have the ability!"

Just as the Mad Demon Ancient God was wondering where this kid got the audacity to be so arrogant in front of him, two children walked out from behind Han Xingyu and gave him a strange smile.

The air froze instantly.

The thoughts, actions, and everything else of the Mad Demon Ancient God were instantly frozen.

Han Xingyu smiled knowingly, raising an eyebrow at Naji and saying, "What? Were you frozen too?"

Nagi stared in astonishment at Han Xingyu, then turned to look at the motionless Mad Demon Ancient God, unable to react for a moment.

Han Xingyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If you don't leave his side soon, I can't guarantee that I can control him for long. I managed to keep him in check when he was arrogant and relaxed. It won't be so easy to keep a mad ancient god in check again."

As Han Xingyu spoke, Han Yuyuan and Han Yuyan arrived beside the Death Demon God. At this moment, the Death Demon God was also frozen in place. Just now, Han Yuyuan was responsible for freezing the Mad Demon God, and Han Yuyan was responsible for freezing the Death Demon God. Everything happened in an instant, but the two children looked extremely tired.

Han Yuyan and Han Yuyuan stood one in front of and one behind the Death Demon God, making strange gestures with their hands. These strange gestures transformed into strange totems, which accumulated and enveloped the air within a ten-mile radius around the Death Demon God.

Han Yuyan glared angrily and shouted, "Stop!"

Han Yuyuan quickly took a breath and withdrew her hand. Although her brother was usually very kind to her, he could be quite strict at crucial moments.

The two stopped simultaneously, and the totem marks disappeared into the body of the Death Demon God in the blink of an eye. The Death Demon God, who had originally regressed to the level of a God King, surged wildly and regained his cultivation level of the mid-stage Demon God.

Nagi forcefully pushed away the Mad Demon's hand that was choking her, finally escaping his grasp. Han Xingyu said in a low voice, "Get behind the Death Demon, he'll protect you." He tossed Nagi a green pill, saying, "This is the antidote. I need to rescue someone from the Mad Demon's abode, so I need your and the Death Demon's help one last time. Delay as long as you can!"

Nagi nodded. She didn't ask any more questions. Although she had resented him for asking her to seduce the Ancient God of Death, she was also somewhat grateful. If it weren't for all of this today, perhaps she and the Ancient God of Death would have remained just bed partners forever, and neither of them would have understood the other's heart.

Seeing Nagi nod, Han Xingyu sighed and said, "I don't know if coming to you helped you or harmed you. If you need anything in the future, just come find me here." He tossed Nagi a map, then waved to the two children, and the three of them teleported away. At the same time, the Mad Demon Ancient God and the Death Demon Ancient God regained their senses, and the air began to flow as usual.
