Danger! The Demon Lord Is Clinging to Life

A lying, pampered bottom who tells nine and a half lies in every ten sentences x a cool, serious top with a heart full of devious schemes

While the Demon Venerable Mu Chentu was undergoing his tribulation, his trusted aide stabbed him in the back. Beneath the thunderbolts, he thought, I guess this is it.

Who could have guessed that the purple lightning would send him five hundred years into the future, where he would be reborn in the body of an immortal lord named Mu Chen, who was frail and destined to die young?

Mu Chen's eyes lit up, calculation filling his peach-blossom eyes. Isn't this the legendary plan to infiltrate the enemy and destroy them from within?

He rubbed his hands together, ready to get to work. It was time to stir things up!

Before his plan could even begin, his peach-blossom eyes widened into almond-shaped ones in shock.

What was going on with these inner thoughts?! Were the people of the immortal sect really this rotten inside?!

His eldest disciple respectfully brought him tea, but his inner thoughts didn't match his appearance at all.

[Last time, Master caught me getting intimate with Third Martial Uncle. This guy is useless anyway. Should I add some Soul-Severing poison to his tea and send him straight to the next life?]

Elder Bai took Mu Chen's pulse, his face full of kindness.

[This bastard's insides are so dried up, how is he still alive?! How does he do it?! If I could cut open his heart meridians, I'd finally see what's going on.]

His eldest senior brother brought him a bowl of snow-lotus soup and spoke softly, expressing concern for Mu Chen's health.

[Master is always biased toward his own son. Look at him now, half dead. One of these days, when I'm in the mood, I'll send him to join Master.]

He hadn't gotten revenge or stirred up trouble yet. First, he had to figure out how to stay alive!

A chance for a turnaround soon came knocking. The heavens still had a little pity for him!

The secluded Penglai Island had suddenly come to propose a marriage. It was time to honor the childhood betrothal arranged years ago.

Everyone exchanged glances. Mu Chen quickly packed his belongings and rolled himself onto the flying ship from Penglai Island that had come to fetch him.

Sang Luo coldly watched the "Mu Chen" who had taken over his friend's body jumping around in front of him, sneering inwardly and thinking of him as a clown.

He watched as Mu Chen dragged his sickly body through the crowded streets for a jade pendant belonging to a young child;

watched as he walked barefoot through fire just to escape a family that devoured its own;

watched as he gouged out his golden core to protect the students who revered and respected him;

and, before long, without even realizing it, found his heart and eyes filled with him.

But later, that same man used a bone-scraping knife to cut out the bones growing inside his body.

Sang Luo trapped Mu Chen on the bed. Their loose strands of hair tangled together, impossible to tell apart. As the chains around Mu Chen's ankle clinked, Sang Luo's eyes brimmed with shattered, unbearable anguish, as if he were the one imprisoned there.

He kissed Mu Chen's colorless eyes and murmured softly, "Mu Chen, don't run away anymore, okay? I took your Snow Dragon Bone, so I'll give you my Vermilion Bird Heart in return. Will you let me?"
