The Sickly Beauty Junior Brother Has Gone on a Killing Spree!

I was gifted, and once the most doted-on disciple of Flowing Cloud Peak.

My senior brother caught spirit beasts for me, my second senior sister made pills for me, and even my master adored me beyond measure.

Then Xuyuan joined the sect, and everything changed.

He was the newest disciple, born frail and blessed with good looks, like a delicate white flower swaying in the breeze. The entire sect doted on him and protected him.

My senior brother gave him his spirit beast, my second senior sister gave him her pills, and even my master, who had loved me most, devoted himself to him.

Everything that had once been mine was snatched away. Resentful, I was lured into the demonic path.

The day I became the Demon Lord, I decided to go all the way and had Xuyuan dragged back. I clipped his wings, crushed his aloofness, and locked the frail beauty in a golden cage forged from ancient black iron.

Everything went exactly as I wanted.

Until my right-hand guard betrayed me and joined forces with the neighboring Demon Lord, attacking my territory from within and without.

My Demon Palace was on the verge of falling.

Xuyuan, who would cough up blood after taking just two steps, snapped the unbreakable ancient black iron with his bare hands, easily freed himself from his shackles, and fought his way through the enemy ranks with his sword, stabbing the neighboring Demon Lord until he was full of holes.

Me: ...

That's it for me. I'm next.

But Xuyuan tossed aside his sword and walked past me without batting an eye. He returned to his golden cage, put his shackles back on, pretended to cough up blood, and said in a soft, feeble voice, "Senior brother, come lock me up."

Me: ???
