Hostage, Stay Calm and Put Down the Demon Realm!

The two realms fought over the Heavenly Dao. The demon race lost, and the Heavenly Dao fell into the hands of humanity.

Furious, the Demon Venerable broke into the imperial palace at night and abducted the human princess, using her as leverage to make humanity recalculate the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, smoke filled the air and swords were drawn. War was on the verge of breaking out.

While all of humanity worried about the condition of their delicate, sickly, beautiful, and immaculate princess, covering their faces and weeping as they imagined the hardships she must be enduring in a place like the demon realm...

The princess was gripping the iron bars, watching a skeleton guard pass outside her dungeon, and giving it some thought.

Then she said, "I might be able to take this thing down."

* You obtained Skeleton Soldier Corpse x1. Choose: A. Steal the key and escape. B. Hide the corpse. C. Take it apart and make bone broth.

* The princess chose C.

* Huh? What did you say?

In her previous life, the princess died of depression in the demon realm, eventually triggering a devastating war between humans and demons.

This time, the Demon Venerable had made thorough preparations. He especially forbade the demons from approaching her, swearing that he would never let the tragedy happen again.

But every time they had a meeting, the evasive looks from his subordinates made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

Demon Venerable: To balance the strength of humans and demons, make sure to hide the world's only Mirror of Heaven and Earth somewhere humans can find it at the next battlefield.

*Princess: Why is there a mirror in the storeroom that only shows skeletons? Oh, it broke.

Demon Venerable: The only living Venerable among humanity must not pass away at this time. Make sure to deliver the Nine Heavens Resurrection Pill, made from my own blood essence, to him.

*Princess: These beans are so delicious they make your soul leave your body? Mint-flavored. I'm not very fond of them.

Demon Venerable: The rare phoenix egg must be obtained by the human envoy on their training mission, so it can successfully build a bridge between humans and demons.

*Princess: Today's dish is... snow pear steamed egg custard :D

Subordinates: Anyway, Lord Demon Venerable, we know you're panicking, but please don't panic just yet!

Later, the aloof Venerable, robes fluttering, stood above the demon realm with his sword raised, ready to fight the Demon Venerable.

The Demon Venerable covered his face with both hands, fell to his knees, and sobbed uncontrollably. He cried, "Venerable, you've finally come to save me!"

Venerable: Who are you? Where's my frail, helpless human princess?

#A frail young woman with maxed-out strength and speed#

#Maybe I should just give up the Demon Venerable's dignity and send her back#

#Venerable, when are you coming to save me? How far have you gotten? What stage of cultivation are you at now?#

1. A cheerful, lighthearted, heartwarming little sweet story.

2. A poker-faced princess terrorizes everyone; a mischievous kid(?) charges fearlessly ahead.

3. The couple is a bear-clan dad-type!

Thesis: A world united.
