Zhaoli was the young mistress of the demon realm, a renowned figure throughout the Six Realms.
First, she was beautiful and bold, highly skilled, and had countless followers.
Second, she'd recently pulled off something major and been brought back to the Divine Mountain by the Divine Lord.
Never mind that gods and demons were estranged from each other. Mingze was famous throughout the Six Realms for having no interest in romance.
But Zhaoli noticed that she'd changed ever since arriving at the Divine Mountain.
For instance, the events of the day often felt hazy to her.
And then there was the fact that she'd come to Mingze to take his divine heart, so she'd gone to great lengths to seduce him.
Yet halfway through, Zhaoli let him go as if he'd become a burning-hot potato.
And the usually proper Divine Lord stared right at her with a look that said, "Go on, then..."
Looking at the phoenix-feather mark on her wrist, Zhaoli wondered if it was affecting her.
She was the most promising young mistress in the demon realm. How could she let a phoenix feather control her?
Zhaoli: "Come in and take your thing out of me."
Mingze: "You tell me to come in, and I just do?"
Zhaoli: "Then I'll do it myself."
Mingze was the Divine Lord, revered by all, with his heart set solely on the supreme Dao.
He'd brought Zhaoli back because she'd swallowed his phoenix feather.
But demon women were masters of seduction. All it took was one lapse in attention for her to hug him, strip him, and pin him down.
Mingze had no idea how many times he'd sternly reprimanded her.
But lately, when he saw her sitting on top of him, he didn't feel like pushing her away at all.
And then there was the fact that he, who had always cared for all living beings, had grown weary of everything.
Only Zhaoli could stir even the slightest interest in him.
Later.
In flowing robes, half white and half black, he asked, "Which looks better on me, moon white or dark teal?"
She waved a hand. "You look best wearing nothing."
