A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

The girl couldn't help but come out. The one inside the barrier was the person she loved most, and she couldn't bear to watch Xiao Lingyuan burn through his lifespan...

At the critical moment, the girl forced herself to turn around and glance at Ling Yuan, angrily saying, "Burning your life force, are you out of your mind?!"

The wind whipped her cloak, and the girl looked beautiful at that moment. Her angry expression made Xiao Lingyuan feel a lump in his throat, but when he thought of the current scene, he couldn't help but want to take action and wipe these people out here!

The girl was faster than him.

Before Xiao Lingyuan could even make a move, the girl summoned a flute and began to play it.

"Woo——"

A flute, sounding like the lament of a wronged woman, rang out, carrying waves of spiritual energy that attacked each mage. The sound waves transformed into blades, directly severing the blood vessels in the warriors' necks.

A fatal blow!

Even the God was struggling to withstand the girl's flute music. The girl was very powerful; she broke through the God's defenses with ease.

At this moment, Xiao Lingyuan also emerged from the barrier, and a concentrated ball of fire element fiercely struck the God.

Upon seeing this, the girl's pupils contracted, and she immediately followed up with another attack after the fireball.

The two attacks struck the God-Emperor almost simultaneously! In an instant, the God-Emperor, already disrupted, was engulfed in flames!

"what!"

The deity roared, then was finished off by the girl, and was completely reduced to dust.

All the people who came were wiped out by the formation. Xiao Lingyuan was cautious and let one of the esteemed teachers sent by the empire go back to report the news.

He will eventually wipe out those people in the empire, so there's no rush.

When everything settled down and the formation gradually stopped, Xiao Lingyuan looked at the girl. The girl's expression changed, and she pursed her lips, lowered her head, and was about to leave.

"stop."

Xiao Lingyuan looked at the girl with a complicated expression and asked softly, "Where are you going again?"

"I……"

The girl herself didn't know where to go, and the people of the Empire certainly wouldn't let it go, so she thought she should stay by Xiao Lingyuan's side and keep watch.

But then Xiao Lingyuan suddenly said, "I told you to leave, but you're hiding in the shadows. You might as well just come with me openly."

The girl's eyes lit up, and she answered "okay" very briefly before standing behind Xiao Lingyuan with a smile.

The girl followed Xiao Lingyuan and they returned together to the cave where Xiao Lingyuan was living. The girl took care of him just as she had when they got married.

One day, Xiao Lingyuan looked at the girl and said, "This cloak suits you better. I found your previous gentle demeanor a bit odd, but now it looks much better. However..."

He still misses the days when he married the girl.

Those were the two happiest years of his life.

Before the young scholar could finish speaking, the girl knew what he wanted to say. Her smile faded slightly, and she lowered her head, giving a subtle reply: "I know."

Those two years were also the happiest two years of her life, but they could never go back.

From that day on, the girl began to leave early and return late, doing something unknown. She would always go out energetically in the morning and return exhausted at night, carrying a faint smell of blood on her body, as if she had been washed, but Xiao Lingyuan could still smell it.

What exactly did she go to do?

Xiao Lingyuan had some doubts, but since the girl didn't say anything, he didn't ask. The atmosphere between them became even more subtle and strange.

Until one day, the girl took the young Lingyuan's hand and said with a smile, "Come with me."

Xiao Lingyuan has passed away.

The girl led Xiao Lingyuan to a clearing in the Monster Forest and said, "Stand here, close your eyes, and don't move..."

Her tone was as playful as when they first got married. Xiao Lingyuan, as if possessed by a ghost, closed his eyes upon hearing the girl's words.

At that moment, he thought, even if the girl wanted to take his life, he would give it to her.

Anyway, he's already completely fallen for the girl, so he might as well fall even more completely.

The girl led the young Lingyuan to the center of the open space, told him not to move, and then hurriedly left, stopping by a stream behind the woods.

Beside the stream stood a woman's dressing table and a set of wedding dresses, the same ones the girl wore when she married Xiao Lingyuan.

Feng Jiutian stood to the side, watching the girl carefully wash herself clean by the stream, then comb her hair, put on makeup, put on her wedding dress, and wear a golden hairpin.

The mirror on the dressing table reflected the girl's beautiful face, and she smiled, which bloomed like a flower in the mirror.

The girl lifted her skirt and hurried back.

The young man kept his eyes closed. The girl approached him, stopping only when she was about three feet away.

The girl covered her head with the red veil and said, "Alright, open your eyes."

Xiao Lingyuan opened his eyes and saw a girl in a red wedding dress. He was stunned for a moment, then heard the girl's voice say, "Husband, may I lift the veil one more time?"

"What are you doing now?"

A hint of anger flashed across Xiao Lingyuan's face, his voice filled with unspeakable rage: "Do you think we can ever go back?"

"call--"

A gust of wind blew by, knocking the red veil covering the girl's head to the ground, revealing her delicate, tearful face.

"I know……"

The girl said in a hoarse voice, "But I just can't forget it, no matter what I do, I just can't forget it!"

The air grew even quieter.

The girl lowered her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a few steps back, looked up at Xiao Lingyuan, and smiled again, saying, "It's alright, after today, I won't think about it anymore."

Xiao Lingyuan suddenly felt a sense of panic, as if he were about to lose something.

The girl raised her hand and summoned a flute, which she held in mid-air with her spiritual power. The wind blew the flute, producing a strange sound that filled the empty air.

"I offer my body to the highest god, let my soul dissolve and merge into my beloved..."

Feng Jiutian couldn't hear what the girl said next, as if something was interfering with her hearing. Then she saw the souls of various stages of magical beasts constantly rising from this open space!

The lowest rank is seventh, and there's even a ninth rank one!

Wasn't it said that there were no ninth-tier magical beasts on the Tenglong Continent? How did this one come about?!

Feng Jiutian took a closer look and discovered that the soul of the ninth-tier magical beast was in the shape of a spirit snake, its body coiled up and floating quietly.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's body emitted a dazzling golden light.

Her expression turned painful, yet she did not struggle; her golden soul was forcibly ripped out!

"what--"

In the final moment before her soul left her body, the girl couldn't help but let out a scream.
