"What you said makes sense, but it's you who should face reality, not me."

Hearing some harsh words, Jiang Ciyuan was unexpectedly calm. He refuted calmly and looked at Zhuoshen with a look as if he was sure of victory.

"If Qiao Qiao had shown even the slightest affection for you, you wouldn't have come to me so brazenly right now, trying to make me back down."

Jiang Ciyuan saw everything last night about Yan Zhiqiao's attitude towards Zhuo Shen, so he would not be easily shaken.

Zhuo Shen didn't want to lower his status and compete with another man, but since it involved Yan Zhiqiao, he had to take the initiative.

"This Lord cannot bear to see others coveting Yan Zhiqiao, so he wants to clear away the obstacles first."

He replied stubbornly, still unwilling to believe in his heart that Yan Zhiqiao had made a choice between him and Jiang Ciyuan.

"Really? I'm standing right here right now. You can try and see how Qiao Qiao will deal with you if you really hurt me."

Jiang Ciyuan's tone remained cold, but there was a hint of provocation in his deep eyes.

If I could get hurt in exchange for Yan Zhiqiao's deep disgust, it would be worth it.

Since Zhuo Shen ascended to the position of Demon Lord, there have been only a handful of people who dared to speak to him so boldly.

It was inevitable to be angry, and the desire to kill Jiang Ciyuan became more and more intense.

But before he could make the next move, one of the demon guards, sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, suddenly stepped forward and forced his way between the two of them.

Facing the scorching, oppressive gaze, the demon guard spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Your Highness instructed me last night to protect Young Master Jiang. Lord Zhuo Shen is very magnanimous and I hope you will forgive me."

With Zhuo Shen's cultivation level, let alone two demon guards, even if there were twenty more with the same cultivation level, he could have them buried with Jiang Ciyuan.

But he didn't dare to actually do it...

Given Yan Zhiqiao's vengeful nature, he might die right after Jiang Ciyuan died.

Oh, no, Yan Zhiqiao has the ability to bring people back to life, she will save Jiang Ciyuan.

So he was the only one who died in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhuoshen felt the severity of his heart attack.

What happened to the promise of no love?

Why did Jiang Ciyuan get her favor?

Although there was a lot of inner drama, Zhuo Shen didn't show it on his face.

He turned his gaze away from the demon guard and looked at Jiang Ciyuan deeply.

"You are not qualified to compete with me for people!"

After saying these harsh words, Zhuoshen left without looking back, feeling depressed.

As soon as he left, the demon guards left the study room on their own, leaving Jiang Ciyuan standing there for a long time.

…………

As the sky gradually darkened, the bedroom door that had been closed all day finally slowly opened.

Gui Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately called out when he saw Yan Zhiqiao.

"Owner."

Then she walked forward and told Yan Zhiqiao everything that had happened in the study during the day.

After listening to this, Yan Zhiqiao turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the palace where Zhuo Shen lived.

This was the first time Yan Zhiqiao took the initiative to find Zhuo Shen since he agreed to surrender.

She thought she could meet the person smoothly, but when she reached the door, she was blocked by Zhuoshen's men.

The demon guard didn't dare to look directly into Yan Zhiqiao's eyes. He lowered his head and spoke with some fear.

"Your Highness, the Lord is in a bad mood today. He has instructed that no matter who comes to see him, he will not see them."

Yan Zhiqiao frowned slightly.

"Not even me?"

"Uh…"

The demon guards knew exactly what their lord was thinking of His Highness.

Hearing Yan Zhiqiao ask this, he hesitated for a second.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and report first."

Yan Zhiqiao didn't want to waste time waiting for people, but considering that Zhuo Shen was the Demon Lord after all, he had to give him some respect, so he nodded.

The demon guard immediately turned around and hurried to look for Zhuo Shen.

After a while, he ran out again in a hurry.

"Your Highness, please come inside."

Led by the magic guards, Yan Zhiqiao soon arrived at the garden behind the palace.

This palace was arranged for him by Zhan Ying, and the overall layout was originally not much different from other palaces.

But as Yan Zhiqiao got closer, he discovered that Zhuo Shen had converted the pond in the garden into an open-air bath at some point.

Walking around the flowers, plants and rockery, I saw a man leaning against the edge of the misty pool with his upper body half naked.

The sky had become completely dark, but the only thing lighting the surroundings was a small night-shining pearl.

Amidst the mist and hazy light, Zhuoshen was seen with his eyes closed, as if he was in deep thought, or as if he had fallen asleep.

He had long black hair, which not only made his fair skin look even whiter, but also made his androgynous face even more breathtakingly beautiful.

This extremely beautiful and seductive scene caught Yan Zhiqiao's eyes, but it made her stop suddenly and look away expressionlessly.

Seeing this, the demon guard left quietly.

Seeing that Yan Zhiqiao was silent for a long time, Zhuo Shen slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the slender figure facing him sideways, he spoke in a cold tone.

"Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about?"

Yan Zhiqiao is not a fool, so he can naturally guess that this situation was done intentionally by Zhuo Shen.

But she was too lazy to point it out, so she just stated her purpose directly.

"If you have any problems, come to me. Don't bother Jiang Ciyuan."

It would have been fine if she hadn't spoken, but once she opened her mouth, the words she said almost broke Zhuo Shen's spirit.

Zhuo took a deep breath and then stood up from the pool.

The sound of water was full of ambiguity, but it didn't attract Yan Zhiqiao's attention at all.

She was like a pure-hearted goddess who had no desire for the world. No matter how hard Zhuo Shen tried to seduce her, she would not be moved.

Zhuo Shen took the initiative to walk towards Yan Zhiqiao, and the distance between them kept shortening.

Just as he was about to go ashore, a powerful demonic energy suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, preventing him from taking another step forward.

"Yan Zhiqiao!!"

There is no doubt that Zhuoshen was furious.

For her, he had repeatedly lowered his stance, and now he even went so far as to learn the tricks of those prostitutes...

But she didn't even look at him!

Dead wood!

Stinky woman!

The more angry Zhuo Shen became, the calmer Yan Zhiqiao seemed.

——It’s also more infuriating.

"Zhuo Shen, my patience is limited. I don't have the time to keep making trouble with you."

Yan Zhiqiao warned in a cold tone, showing no mercy to Zhuo Shen.

When Zhuo Shen heard this, his chest heaved with anger.

"Why can Jiang Ciyuan do it, but I can't?"

His questioning, filled with reluctance, was met with a light-hearted, yet unquestionable, response from Yan Zhiqiao.

"Because he is Jiang Ciyuan, he can."

"you…"

What's the reason for this?

Zhuo Shen was a little angry and wanted to break free from the restraints on his shoulders, but unfortunately Yan Zhiqiao didn't give him a chance.

"Aren't you afraid that my love will turn into hatred and I'll become your enemy from now on?"
