The Jade Bone Lotus is an unparalleled sacred artifact, rarely seen in heaven or earth, capable of reshaping a person’s spiritual脉.
Ling Qianhe, not yet a demon, could still benefit from the Jade Bone Lotus.
As the little system guided her into the depths of this perilous place, it quietly explained.
“To save this demon, two items are of unparalleled importance. One is the Jade Bone Lotus, which can reshape his flesh and spiritual脉, and the other is called the Demon God’s Rock.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Mucí couldn’t help but wonder.
“Demon God’s Rock? That name sounds awfully sinister.”
“At least the Jade Bone Lotus sounds like a sacred object… Is the Demon God’s Rock related to the demon tribe?”
“Could it prevent him from transforming into a demon?”
The little system nodded, then softly told her.
“Of course, it can.”
The Jade Bone Lotus is very useful.
However, the importance of the Demon God’s Rock might even surpass that of the Jade Bone Lotus.
Ling Qianhe’s body was damaged, naturally requiring the Demon God’s Rock.
This item could strengthen his will and refine his newly formed spiritual脉 and bones.
Allowing him to shed his demonic nature.
And become a saint.
Although—Lin Mucí didn’t understand why a demon had to become a saint, but following the plot, she thought obtaining these two items shouldn’t be difficult.
“According to the usual tropes of melodramatic dramas, only I can obtain these two items, right?”
The little system hesitated, and after a while, it softly replied.
“Indeed. Only you can obtain them.”
“The Jade Bone Lotus is within this secret realm. Your special bloodline allows you to sense this lotus naturally. As long as you enter the secret realm that the Jade Bone Lotus resides in and pass three trials, you will obtain the Jade Bone Lotus.”
“As for the Demon God’s Rock…”
“It is in the hands of the mighty Ancient Demon Ancestor, Helian Lanyan—as the leader of the ancient demons, he possesses heaven-shattering power. This Demon God’s Rock is a sacred artifact of their demon tribe, and you can only beg him for it.”
Lin Mucí’s heart felt an ominous premonition again. Wait, hold on.
This name.
How could it be so familiar?
“Helian Lanyan…”
She murmured the name softly, and her expression changed drastically in an instant.
“Yang Lanyan? You’re not still planning to have him make a cameo, are you?”
The little system could only nervously explain to Lin Mucí.
“It’s—it’s not that. You’re familiar with his face, it’s convenient, so we used his face to project Helian Lanyan’s appearance. Just bear with it and continue the plot.”
“You’re not familiar with anyone else.”
Lin Mucí found the plot very strange, and this explanation seemed to be covering something up.
Was the little system hiding something from her—that she didn’t know?
However, she still felt that continuing the plot was more important.
Although Ling Qianhe was a damned demon, he had the exact same face as Ling Qianhe, and even his reactions and small expressions were identical to Ling Qianhe’s.
She recalled his pale, bloodless face when the pain of bone extraction and spiritual脉 reshaping had struck him.
The agony on his face, despite being in extreme pain, he endured it without crying out.
Lin Mucí hesitated for a moment.
She decided to continue the plot and save this poor little thing.
She said.
“So after I find the Jade Bone Lotus, I still need to go find Helian Lanyan for the Demon God’s Rock.”
“Setting aside whether I can walk out of this vast wilderness with Ling Qianhe, this demon, even if we do, Helian Lanyan, as the ancestor of the demon tribe, why would he even see me, a maidservant of a banished prince?”
As she spoke, her tone carried a hint of feigned anger.
“You’re not—you’re not joking, are you?”
“This is something that can’t possibly succeed!”
“You’re deliberately trying to trap me.”
Seeing that her host seemed about to get angry, the little system quickly explained.
“No—it’s not what you think, Host. Believe me, you can succeed, because—because…”
It stammered for a long time, and Lin Mucí lost her patience. She simply found the plot ridiculous.
“Even if you’re filming a TV series, it has to make sense, right?”
“How can a mortal maidservant obtain the Jade Bone Lotus from a Demon God? It’s impossible.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“Even with protagonist halo in a TV show, this wouldn’t be possible.”
Hearing Lin Mucí’s words, the little system became flustered.
It hesitated for a long time before telling her in a strange tone.
“No, you will definitely succeed. Because Helian Lanyan owes you a huge favor—believe me, this is entirely reasonable. You are the only one who can get the Demon God’s Rock from him.”
“And you will also torment him to death.”
Lin Mucí felt the little system was bragging.
“What will I exchange it with?”
“You’re bragging without a draft.”
The little system didn’t expect the host to not believe it.
It scratched its head and said.
“Demon Ancestor Helian Lanyan really owes you a huge favor… Host, your identity as the maidservant of a banished prince of your dynasty is real. However, you were banished to the mortal realm, which is why you became Ling Qianhe’s maidservant.”
“Your only mission is to prevent him from transforming into a demon… and your true identity is actually the only daughter of the previous Demon Emperor of the demon realm, born with the Heavenly Phoenix spiritual脉, but your spiritual脉 was stripped away, which is why you are now considered a waste.”
“But, you are still the legitimate Heavenly Phoenix bloodline. Because of this, you can bear half of another person’s pain…”
“His pain is enough to torment someone into collapse. Only you can bear half of his pain!”
Lin Mucí was almost dizzy from the complicated plot.
“Wait, let me sort this out.”
“So, I am also a sealed genius?”
“I have to stop him from becoming a demon, and I have to sacrifice myself?”
The little system became excited.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Host, listen to me carefully. You also have several men who have had grudges with you.”
“Helian Lanyan is the Demon Ancestor. He inherited your father’s position as Demon Emperor. He was supposed to be betrothed to you, but he had his own white moonlight.”
“His white moonlight is a Green Sparrow, whose bloodline is far inferior to yours.”
“He publicly broke off the engagement with you in the demon realm, making it known to all. For his white moonlight, he even took your Heavenly Phoenix bloodline and gave it to the Green Sparrow, allowing the Green Sparrow to advance and become the destined Phoenix Lady who matched him.”
“That’s why he owes you a huge favor!”
“On the eve of your planned wedding ceremony, he drugged your wine and, while you were defenseless, took your spiritual脉. Then at the wedding ceremony, he publicly broke off the engagement.”
“Making you a laughingstock in the demon realm.”
“He said that if the Green Sparrow didn’t advance her bloodline, she would die.”
“But you, Si Mucí, are the daughter of the previous Demon Emperor, with a long lifespan. You still have time to cultivate new spiritual脉… He said it wouldn’t be difficult for you.”
“Moreover, if he became the Demon Emperor, he would also protect you in the future.”
“However, you were stubborn and didn’t listen to his explanation at all. You directly used the demon tribe’s supreme treasure, the Kunlun Kongtong Scissors, to cut off the Green Sparrow’s wings. You gouged out her eyes and crushed them. You tormented the Green Sparrow to the point where she wished she were dead.”
“He didn’t know that the previous Demon Emperor’s three magical artifacts were all in your hands. The Kunlun Kongtong Scissors could restrain any demon whose innate bloodline was inferior to yours.”
“That’s why he was caught off guard and his beloved white lotus was tormented to death by you.”
“He asked you to save his little Green Sparrow. She was injured by the Kunlun Kongtong Scissors, her soul was incomplete. Only the Kunlun Kongtong Scissors could save her, otherwise, she would suffer the pain of her soul being cut day and night for generations, a pain that would make her wish for death.”
“But you directly destroyed those Kunlun Kongtong Scissors!”
“He didn’t expect you to be so fierce—helplessly, he could only announce that he would go into seclusion.”
“He remained in seclusion for many years, nurturing his little Green Sparrow’s soul day and night, wanting to save his little Green Sparrow.”
“He should still be in seclusion now.”
“Go find Helian Lanyan and ask for the Demon God’s Rock.”
“Although he will torment you a few times, he owed you a lot back then.”
“He felt some guilt for taking your spiritual脉 back then, so he will definitely give you the Demon God’s Rock!”
Lin Mucí’s fists clenched.
This was called… some guilt?
What kind of ridiculous plot was this!
She felt like hitting someone just hearing about it!
This kind of scumbag, she wanted to chop off his dog head with one blow!
The little system, however, continued to explain with great interest.
“Helian Lanyan is just one of the men with whom you have had grudges.”
“There is also the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan Yuting from the Nine Heavens. He also has a history of grievances with you.”
“The Xuanyuan clan has been human emperors for generations. For his path of the human emperor, Holy Emperor Xuanyuan Yuting wanted to seal the demons on the Shan Hai Tu Ce, establishing a great merit comparable to his ancestors, and become the Holy Emperor of the celestial realm above the Nine Heavens.”
“After your bloodline was taken, no one could discern that your innate being was the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline. You destroyed a demon tribe’s supreme treasure, tormented the new Demon Emperor’s beloved, and the demon tribe could not tolerate you. So, you secretly apprenticed under the Dao Ancestor, wanting to learn human daoist techniques.”
“But you were accidentally discovered by the Human Emperor.”
“So he found you, deliberately treated you extremely well, making you trust this Human Emperor senior brother with all your heart—”
Lin Mucí rolled her eyes fiercely.
“He also screwed me over?”
The little system responded with a surprised tone, “Host, how did you know?”
“Yes—yes, he did. He took another supreme treasure of the demon tribe, the Shan Hai Tu Ce, given to you by your father, and blood-sacrificed the countless demons within it.”
“They, the human emperors, need the Qi Luck of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, ordinary demons cannot satisfy the vast Qi Luck he needs. Only the demons in the Shan Hai Tu Ce, nurtured by the demon tribe for countless years, have already merged with the demon tribe’s Qi Luck.”
“He blood-sacrificed the Shan Hai Tu Ce, using the destruction of the countless demons within the Shan Hai Tu Ce to exchange for a great opportunity for himself.”
“With this great merit, he directly advanced to become the Holy Emperor of the celestial realm, with power equal to the Dao Ancestor, both being rulers of the celestial realm.”
“He approached you with this very purpose. You explored and cultivated together back then, yet he casually sent you into a絕地.”
“The demon tribe’s Qi Luck was almost destroyed, and the demon tribe’s ruler, Helian Lanyan, was still in seclusion.”
“And you became an enemy of the demon tribe.”
“You couldn’t stand it.”
“You attacked the Heavenly Realm.”
“Although the Shan Hai Tu Ce was blood-sacrificed, among the demon tribe’s three supreme treasures, you still had the final one, the Purple Firmament Immortal Slaying Sword. You directly used this sword to destroy his Human Emperor Token.”
“With the Human Emperor Token destroyed, although the demons in the Shan Hai Tu Ce were annihilated, these demons were nurtured within this magical artifact. As long as the Shan Hai Tu Ce remained, you could re-nurture tens of thousands of demons, and you repossessed the Shan Hai Tu Ce, using your own blood to nurture the demons.”
“You nurtured the Shan Hai Tu Ce with your blood, almost depleting your own.”
“And Xuanyuan Yuting saw this scene, his heart shattered—he did have feelings for you back then, but after this incident, you only had endless hatred for him.”
“Telling him to never appear before you again.”
“Although he became the Holy Emperor, without the Human Emperor Token, his Dao heart was severely damaged, and he went into seclusion thereafter.”
“And no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs.”
“The demon tribe could not tolerate you, and the celestial realm could not either.”
“You became a public enemy of both the demon realm and the celestial realm.”
“And to save your life.”
“You voluntarily went to stop Ling Qianhe from becoming a demon, using this merit to exchange for a chance to live.”
“So, Host, please don’t hesitate and try your best to survive!”
Lin Mucí: “…”
Which melodramatic author wrote this plot, come out!
She wished she could beat them to death—was this plot even humanly possible?
How could it be so melodramatic and exciting, the female protagonist, this unlucky child, she felt pity just looking at her! If she didn’t turn black, it would be unreasonable. Let alone Ling Qianhe turning into a demon, what were his experiences compared to this.
If there was only one opportunity to become a demon in this world.
It would surely be hers!
Who could win against her overwhelming resentment!
She wished to destroy the heavens and the earth!
The little host looked up and weakly complained.
“Host, you clearly said you liked melodramatic dramas the most…”
“You also said the more melodramatic the better…”
“Why are you regretting it now—this script perfectly matches your requirements, it’s both melodramatic and epic, with several scumbags as supporting male roles, and the female protagonist’s experiences are tragic and pitiable. If I were a reader, I would definitely look forward to how she makes a comeback…”
“Aren’t her past experiences of tormenting scumbags worth watching?”
“You’re the one who asked for melodrama, why are you still angry?”
Lin Mucí couldn’t bear it any longer, and her anger erupted.
“Bah!”
“I like melodrama, that’s true—but this is just too melodramatic!”
“Can my identity get any more tragic?”
“Being stabbed in the back again and again!”
“And I still have to save a blackening demon? Bah, this frustrating world, what the hell am I saving! I’ll destroy this world with him!”
“I don’t want to be this saintly melodramatic female protagonist!”
“I want to mess up this world, I want to be a demoness, sow chaos in this realm, and beat the dog heads of those scumbags!”
“I want all those scumbags to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!”
“I want them to love me to death, but I won’t even glance at them!”
“Torment these damned scumbags to death!”
She gritted her teeth, her expression contorted. She had never been this angry. She wanted to be a female demon, she wanted those hypocritical bastards, every single one of them, to regret it immensely!
