Also known as: I Think I Dated the Demon King, but I Can't Remember
【Updated daily, plenty of chapters in reserve, no hiatus】
Ding Ling had just transmigrated when she was taken away to become the Domain Lord's fiancée.
On her wedding day, a notorious demon descended from the sky and crashed the ceremony single-handedly.
Red silk fluttered, and her phoenix crown hit the ground.
The man strode through the horrified crowd, his voice edged with ice.
“The Spirit Domain values the status of a bonded couple above all else. How can its Domain Lord marry a woman who already has a red bond?”
The hall erupted in an uproar.
What was a red bond? The most intimate contract in the Spirit Domain. Once formed, it bound a pair together for life, like an official “married” stamp.
The Domain Lord's face turned green.
The guests were dumbstruck.
Ding Ling was baffled too. She couldn't remember making a bond with anyone.
But what shocked her even more was the demon's face.
She recognized him.
Earlier, she'd disguised herself as a songstress and snuck into a dance hall. He'd spent a fortune to buy a single dance from her.
A fortune.
Just for one dance.
So, did you come here today to ruin the wedding, or to ruin me?
To uncover the origin of the red bond, she would have to cultivate her spiritual power to the threshold of godhood.
But there was a faster way: find a bond partner stronger than her former one, form a new bond, and overwrite the old contract.
Ding Ling's gaze fell on the demon beside her, whose presence was impossible to ignore.
“Hey,” she leaned toward him and asked again, still unwilling to give up. “Want to bond with me? The red kind.”
That was basically the same as asking, “Want to sleep with me?”
The man gave a cold snort and, for once, lifted his eyelids.
“Do I look like,” he paused, his tone icy, “the sort of man who steals someone else's bonded partner?”
Ding Ling blinked.
Translation: Am I the sort of man who sleeps around?
Fine.
You're so high and mighty.
One night, lightning flashed and thunder roared as rain poured down.
A fierce gust blew Ding Ling's door open. Someone stood silhouetted in the doorway, his robes soaked through and his expression dark.
The rain came down in sheets.
Their silhouettes entwined.
So, Lord Demon, why are you kicking down my door in the middle of the night?
P.S. Ding Ling is pronounced Ling, with the second tone.
