After Abandoning the World-Destroying Demon Lord

Demons slaughtered the members of Niantang's sect, and she barely managed to escape with her life.

During her flight, she found an injured rabbit demon.

The rabbit demon had no money, so after Niantang healed him, she made him work as her servant to repay her.

The two settled in a small village at the foot of a mountain.

Though the rabbit demon was frail, he was obedient enough. Even when she tied him up and bullied him, he would only turn his eyes red, then quietly go back to washing clothes, cooking, and caring for the family's mongrel.

Until one day, on the mountain, Niantang secretly saw the frail rabbit demon grab a powerful cultivator from a sect who had come to hunt demons and fiends by the throat with one hand, lift him up, and then tear his head from his body.

He was the demon who had slaughtered her sect!

And he wasn't a rabbit demon at all. He was a demon wolf!

Before killing those people, he smiled. His smile was exactly the same as the one he used to charm her. Only then did Niantang realize it had never been a plea for her favor, but the amusement of a predator.

Luckily, the demon didn't know she had discovered his secret. She pretended not to know, hiding in the house day after day and avoiding him as much as possible.

At last, she found a chance to flee, abandoning him in her panicked escape.

Later, she accidentally caused him to die beneath the assault of countless cultivators.

After the twists and turns of fate, Niantang learned that the demon hadn't died after all. He had become the Demon Venerable who ruled over all living things.

Deep within the demon palace, he trapped Niantang atop a dragon bone. Fine currents of electricity surged over it again and again. She wept and begged him to carry her away. Sweat kept dripping from his temples, but he ignored her pleas.

"Master, were you satisfied with my service?"

"If you were, then you can never abandon me again."

Boohoo, what a mess she'd made. How could she possibly say she wasn't satisfied?

Here's a preview of the next book, Never Against My Brother

The Xie family had a pair of twin sons famous throughout the capital. The elder, Xie Changzhao, was a learned scholar who held a high position at court; the younger, Xie Changshuo, was proud and unyielding, and became a general while still young.

Xie Changshuo had never liked his elder brother's fiancee. She was spoiled and playful, never considerate of his brother, and used her bewitching face to cling to him, tricking his upright and strict brother into abandoning his duties to spend his time playing around with her.

Unexpectedly, disaster struck one day. His brother was ordered to travel far away to investigate a case, and not long afterward news of his death arrived.

With his brother gone, the old marriage agreement between the two families passed to him. But he had no wish to marry her, so he flatly refused.

He thought he would never have anything to do with her again, but then she came looking for him with red-rimmed eyes.

Her family was forcing her to marry a wastrel. Knowing that Xie Changshuo also hated the marriage his family had arranged for him, she proposed that they marry in name only and simply share a household. Once she had secured a way out for herself, they could divorce with dignity.

After weighing it up, Xie Changshuo agreed.

After the wedding, Shuyan seemed like a different person: quiet and well-behaved, never crossing the line.

Xie Changshuo remained wary and secretly tried to figure her out. But the more he investigated, the more he found himself staring at her in a daze.

He gritted his teeth to himself. She must be up to some new trick.

*

Shuyan found it strange that Xie Changshuo had been staring at her for no apparent reason lately. Perhaps he regretted marrying her. She'd better hurry up and build up her private assets so she could divorce him sooner.

Why had Xie Changshuo been helping her out so much lately? Fine, he could help, but why was he acting so awkward about it? Could she have accidentally gotten hold of some leverage over him?

Brother Changzhao hadn't died after all. He was back. But Xie Changshuo was stopping them from seeing each other, claiming it would be improper. What kind of propriety was that? Had he lost his mind?
